Chapter 36 The Death of the Underworld

In a room with a dragon chair illuminated by the sporadic lights under the ghost castle, Wang Xiao, the master of the Wind Thunder Hall dressed as Liu Li, was holding his head with his right hand at the moment, leisurely lying on the spotlessly wiped dragon chair with his eyes closed. After a while, with the sound of soft footsteps, Xun Xi came to Wang Xiao and reported to him that everyone in the ghost castle was entering the underground palace from the entrance of the ghost castle at the moment, and then she asked Wang Xiao if he immediately activated the mechanism in the passage.

"You say, if the Tang army failed to enter my Shu land back then, and my father completed the construction of this palace, how magnificent and luxurious this place would be. Unfortunately, only a pile of rubble left unattended is now buried in this ghost castle. Wang Xiao opened his eyes and looked around at the dilapidated scene in the room, and said lightly.

"Heh, the first emperor of Dashu was disturbed by this endless greed before he ended up surrendering and being killed. If the former emperor had one-tenth of the strategy and courage of the big boss, how could he let Meng Zhixiang have a chance. After fiddling with the blue porcelain vase placed on the side of the room, Xun Xi said with emotion.

"Hmph, then he can only blame his own miserable life, he even ignored his wife and children and went out of the city in a panic to surrender, he deserved this retribution." Wang Xiao recalled the scene when he escaped from the burning palace with his sister, and his heart couldn't help but burn a little anger, but then he quickly calmed down, "But then again, simple minded and unambitious mediocre people like my father, once we use them a little, they can still make them indispensable pawns in our hands." ”

"Now, doesn't the big boss already have such a subservient chess piece?"

"Hmph, Xunxi, this palace is yours now, and you don't need to tell me how you want to deal with those people." After Wang Xiao finished speaking, he walked towards the stone room where the Dragon Soul Sword was placed.

"Yes, big boss. That, Ouyang He ...... there" Zhuoxi seemed to realize something and wanted to understand it from Wang Xiao.

"Whatever you want, if she doesn't have the ability to escape from your hands, then she doesn't deserve to do it." Wang Xiao replied in a tough tone.

"Yes, my subordinates know!"

At the same time, on the other side of the underground palace, because before entering the palace, the head of the Lieyang Gate and the Huangshan Sect did not go down the passage because of scruples or fear, but continued to stay in the ghost castle, and a total of sixteen people in the passage, including Ouyang He, were groping slowly by the slight light of the fire. Chen Xiaohu, the head of the Kunlun faction, walked in front of everyone with a torch in his hand, Ouyang He and Yuxin walked at the end of the line, and Pei Sheng, the master of the Changge Sect, walked in front of Ouyang He with a shy smile and thoughtfully helped her remove the cobwebs around her.

"Miss Ouyang, let's step forward and follow closely, otherwise I'll cry if I accidentally get lost, maybe there are a lot of ghosts here, hehe!" Walking in the middle of the team, Hu Sheng, the leader of the Longyun Gang with a bald head and a big mouth, said to Ouyang He behind him with a wicked smile.

"Hmph, you scare yourself, our young lady is not afraid of these things!" Yuxin couldn't listen to it and retorted to Hu Sheng.

"Shhh Chen Xiaohu, who was at the front of the team, seemed to hear something unusual from the front of his fingers, and the sound became more and more obvious.

After a while, as the sound of "chirping" reached everyone, dense bats attacked from in front of everyone and flew quickly over everyone's heads towards the gate that had just entered the passage. Although the bats did not attack everyone, their sudden appearance still scared everyone a little bit.

"Hmph, it's just a bunch of beasts to be afraid of." Bai Lichen, the second master of the Wind Thunder Hall, was still not afraid in the face of the bats that had just flown by, he picked up the torch that had just been thrown to the ground by Chen Xiaohu in a panic, and walked to the front of the line with his henchman Han Yi, and soon everyone came to an intersection that led to eight directions.

"Damn, is this Tang Ye playing with us as monkeys?" Hu Sheng looked at the passage leading to the eight directions in front of him, and was a little angry.

"Your Excellency, don't be impatient, the people here now are only from the eight sects, but they correspond to these eight directions, I expect that since the Tang Sect Master's test this time is prepared for our ten sects, I'm afraid this won't be just a coincidence, right?" Zhou Kehe, the head of the South China Sea Sect, held his chin in his hand and thought, "Perhaps, those four benevolent brothers of the Lieyangmen and the Huangshan Sect chose not to accompany us for some other reason, right?" ”

"Hmph, instead of making such boring conjectures, it's better to make a decision quickly." Bai Lichen thought for a moment in front of the door of the passage leading to one direction and then said to the people behind him, and then he and Han Yi resolutely walked into one of the passages. Under the encouragement of the two pioneers of the Wind and Thunder Hall, the rest of the people also walked into the dark and dark passages with their instincts.

"Miss, what ...... Which way are we going? Yuxin asked Ouyang He with some confusion.

Ouyang He unhurriedly raised the torch to look around, and she found that the dirt on the door frames of seven of the passage doors had been rubbed off by something, and the exposed parts of these door frames clearly felt that the luster of the marble was brighter and more dazzling under the light of the fire. However, the same situation was not seen on the door frame of the passage door that Bai Lichen and Han Yi entered, Ouyang He then guessed that Bai Lichen had also noticed the unusual features of this door, and then he was afraid that the differences in these door frames would be discovered by others, so he and Han Yi took the lead.

"Hey, Childe, where are we going? You've been staring at Miss Ouyang, and you have the answer in your heart? Pei Sheng's entourage and Fa Xiao Zhangming saw Pei Sheng staring at Ouyang He's beautiful face under the firelight, and asked Pei Sheng in a low voice with a wicked smile.

"Ah, this, this son hasn't thought about it yet, haha!" Pei Sheng looked back at Zhang Ming and smiled embarrassedly, "You guy is really, alas, you still love to tear down my platform as much as you did when you were a child!" ”

"Xin'er, let's go this way." After Ouyang He finished speaking to Yuxin categorically, the two of them prepared to walk towards the passage that Bai Lichen and Han Yi had walked into before.

"Miss Ouyang, have you thought of anything?" Pei Sheng saw Ouyang He walking behind him with some excitement, so he hurriedly stopped her.

"Yes, Pei Gongzi, if the little woman's guess is correct, this road should be more likely to be repaired in the original palace of this palace, and the rest should just be a new passage as a barrier." Ouyang He explained to Pei Sheng with a smile.

"What? Is Pei Gongzi going to walk with us again? Yuxin rolled her eyes at Pei Sheng cutely as if she was jealous.

"Ah, under ...... Under just because...... Stupid and momentary...... It's hard to come up with a clue for a while, so I just want to try my luck in the footsteps of the two girls. If you mess with the girl...... If you're not happy, choose another way. Pei Sheng hurriedly explained incoherently like a frightened kitten.

"It doesn't matter, since Pei Gongzi is willing to trust the little girl's judgment, there is nothing wrong with traveling together, Pei Gongzi doesn't have to be so formal." Ouyang He still said to Pei Sheng in a gentle tone as usual.

"Hmph, it's okay to go together, but I can warn you, don't do anything crooked to our young lady, otherwise be careful that I will beat you!" Yuxin said to Pei Sheng playfully.

The four of them walked through the passage with torches, and soon after entering an empty hall surrounded by many candlesticks, they met Bai Lichen and Han Yi, who had entered the passage before them, and the whole hall became bright after the two of them lit them with torches one by one. Although Ouyang He felt as if the layout of the entire hall was in full view, she felt that they seemed to be bothered by something at the moment when she looked at the slightly mysterious expressions of the two.

"Hehe, the second master of the dignified Wind and Thunder Hall will actually be trapped by the organ, this is really rare, did you take the wrong medicine today and break your head?" As soon as Yuxin saw Bai Lichen and Han Yi, she remembered the battle in front of Yufeng Villa where they injured Ouyang He, and an inexplicable anger rose in her heart.

"Stinky girl, I warn you to speak respectfully, or be careful that I tear your mouth apart." Han Yi clenched his sword tightly and said viciously to Yuxin.

"What? Want to fight? Come on, the girl in the account book where you besieged our Yufeng Villa is trying to find you to do a good calculation! Not to be outdone, Yu Xin showed the golden snake whip on her waist under Han Yi's provocation.

The two of them insisted on moving in the hall despite Ouyang He and Bai Lichen's obstruction, and Pei Sheng and Zhang Ming, who were standing behind Ouyang He, were confused. When the two were evenly matched in several rounds of battle, Yuxin accidentally stepped on the mechanism of a stone slab under her feet in the flashing and moving, and suddenly dozens of stone slabs on the walls around the room were opened at the same time, and then countless bows and arrows were fired one after another from the place where these stone slabs were opened, and everyone in the hall immediately drew their swords and hurriedly resisted in the chaos. When the bow and arrows in the wall gradually ran out, Pei Sheng found that Zhang Ming had fallen to the ground unconscious after several arrows, and Yuxin's left arm was unfortunately grazed by the bow and arrow.

"Miss, it's fine that you're fine, but I'm ...... How do I feel...... Faint ...... Heavy. Yuxin's eyes turned black and fell to the ground.

"Xin'er, Xin'er, wake up! Ah, the color of this blood, is it ...... It's a poisoned arrow! Ouyang He noticed that Yuxin was hit by a poisonous arrow, and was a little nervous for a while, and then she quickly leaned down and tried to suck the poisonous blood on Yuxin's arm out of her body.

"Little ...... Miss...... cough, cough ......" Yuxin gradually woke up a little blurred, "It's all ...... Xin'er's ...... False, right...... Sorry! ”

"Xin'er, don't move, be obedient, lie down obediently!" Ouyang He was still crying while vigorously sucking out the poisonous blood on Yuxin's left arm.

At this moment, a hidden stone door in the room was opened, and Bai Lichen quickly stopped Han Yihou, who wanted to attack Yuxin at this time, and the two of them walked quickly into the stone door.

"It's you who killed Amin!" Pei Sheng cried bitterly for a long time while holding Zhang Ming's body and then angrily raised his sword and walked towards Yuxin, but Yuxin, who was unable to move at the moment, was protected by Ouyang He in time.

"Miss Ouyang, you get out of the way, I don't want to hurt you, I just want her to pay for Ah Ming's life!" Pei Sheng seemed to have been suppressed by sadness and anger at this time, and his two eyes were full of murderous eyes staring at Yuxin who was lying on the ground with tears.

"Pei Gongzi, calm down, Xin'er is at fault, but she doesn't know where there will be a mechanism here, she is not the mastermind or builder of these bow and arrow mechanisms, do you think it is really fair to let Xin'er bear the sin of killing Zhang Ming alone? If you can trust me, after she recovers from her injury, I will personally bring her to kowtow to Zhang Ming to make amends! Ouyang He still didn't take a step back in front of Pei Sheng.

Pei Sheng looked at Ouyang He's firm eyes, a trace of hesitation flashed in his heart, but when he looked at Yuxin who fell to the ground again, he was ruthless, and secretly condensed a ball of true qi in his palm, and then took advantage of Ouyang He's unpreparedness to knock her to the ground in an instant, and then frowned, his eyes were red, he roared loudly, raised the long sword in his hand, and stabbed at his feet, Yuxin, who had closed his eyes and was quietly waiting for the last moment, with all his strength.

"Don't!"

A gushing stream of blood spilled on Yuxin's face, and Pei Sheng was stunned as he watched everything that happened in front of his eyes in an instant.

"Ahh Small...... Sister ......" Through her vague vision, Yuxin saw a cold long sword piercing Ouyang He's left shoulder.

"Pei Gongzi, ...... like this Cough...... Can make you forgive...... Xin'er? Ouyang He endured the severe pain and pulled the sword out of his left shoulder, and then because of the stimulation of the pain, she couldn't support it and passed out on Yuxin, who was lying behind her.

Yuxin was so frightened by Ouyang He who passed out on top of her that she couldn't cry, and then she struggled to overcome the hindrance of the toxin, raised her hands and held the unconscious Ouyang He in her arms, and the heart-rending cry echoed in the gloomy underground hall.

"I'm ...... What have you done? Miss Ouyang ......" Pei Sheng stared blankly at Ouyang He, who was lying in a pool of blood, and then lowered his head to look at his blood-stained hands, and an indescribable painful emotion lingered in his heart.

"I won't play this game......" Pei Sheng looked at the ceiling and said to himself coldly, and then he turned sideways with an expressionless face and picked up Zhang Ming's body and walked slowly in the direction where everyone came in. Behind him, Yuxin fell asleep again in tears due to excessive sadness, and the entire gloomy hall was sadly decorated with stars and candles, and only two seriously injured girls were now left alone on the cold and biting ground.
