Chapter Fifty-Eight: Going to the Meeting Alone
The glass-colored eaves tiles of the drunken evening building shine in the sun, the tall buildings are painted with gold and carved blue, standing steadily on the most lively street in Jiangyin, and the warm golden light is still shining in the frost and cold white, which seems to be more dazzling than usual. Chi Zhan held the hilt of his sword with one hand, quietly looking up at the golden dome of this building, he couldn't open his eyes when the sun shone in turn, but he still squinted and didn't dodge, as if there was something on the golden roof that attracted him, making him reluctant to take his eyes off. He stood outside the door for a long time, neither leaving nor entering, but just looking up, and passers-by couldn't help but look at him twice, thinking to himself, why can't this person only look in? Look at him dressed quite decently, and it doesn't look like he has no money. After a long time, he finally sighed and said regretfully: "This golden light really shouldn't be occupied by them." ”
After saying that, he retracted his gaze and looked inside, this lowered his head, his expression instantly changed from a sudden emotion just now to a sharp spirit, his expression changed quickly and unreasonably, he took a light breath and stepped in.
As soon as the talent stepped forward, the whole drunken evening building instantly sounded a noisy iron collision, and a group of masked black-clothed people suddenly poured out of the corner doors on both sides of the hall on the first floor, and the sound of footsteps on the stairs hurriedly gathered here, but Chi Zhan looked around as if he hadn't heard it, and saw that this group of people were all tightly dressed and close-fitting, with no pendants on their waists, and there was only one sword on their bodies, and there was nothing else, as if these swords were their only one, and they really only needed this sword.
They move extremely fast, and as soon as they are in place, they remain still, and they are silent for a moment.
Chi Zhan looked at the several encirclements in front of him and smiled, and his hand slowly stretched out to his waist, wanting to touch the hilt of the sword. Seeing him move like this, the sword blade that was originally pointing diagonally at the ground also raised slightly.
Ji Zhan watched their reactions, his eyes flashed with contempt, and he let out an almost inaudible "heh", then gently held the hilt of the sword, untied the leather rope that tied the sword with his other hand, ripped off the entire sword, and held it in his hand.
The meaning of such an action is obvious, the man in black almost didn't even think about it and concluded that he must be going to do it, so he retreated half a step very mechanically, his shoulders were slightly sideways, and he made a posture of accumulating strength, their group of people was originally a killer for people to drive, they killed more people than they ate on weekdays, and the task was to take a free time, so naturally they were extremely familiar with the current scene, and even became extremely numb, so instead of being preoccupied, they were still very interested, and the expression on their faces seemed to say" If you want to fight quickly, you will go to rest after beating Lao Tzu. ”
But at this juncture when everything was logical and was about to advance according to the original plot, everyone present suddenly heard a "pop", and at the same time, they all stared at the scene in front of them with some surprise.
I saw that in front of everyone's eyes, Chi Zhan held the sword in his hand, raised it flat on his chest, and then let go with a smile.
The pitch-black sword fell to the ground, flicked twice on the ground, and died still.
He's not going to draw his sword, he's going to ...... Unloading the sword?!
The black-clothed people were collectively stunned, and the hall began to be silent for a short time.
After Ji Zhan dropped his sword, he strode forward despite the fact that there were several human walls in front of him, as if he was not at all worried that he would die under the sword, nor did he feel that they would block his way by surrounding him, and he looked confident that they would make way for me.
This is indeed the case, although the people in black were surprised by the scene in front of them, they didn't know which tendon in his brain was pumping, and they thought he was here to settle accounts, but when he came, he unloaded his weapon first, obviously not to fight, but if he didn't fight, then what did he do when he came to this enemy camp alone? Isn't this looking for death?
Although they were very suspicious of Chi Zhan's bad intentions, they didn't really make it difficult for a person who unloaded his weapon, he had the courage to come in unarmed, and with so many of them and so many swords, were they still afraid that he would run away? Although the killer of the Ghost Domain usually does everything despicable and cunning, and ignores morality, as long as he can achieve his goal, it doesn't matter what means he has? But even so, you still have to ask for such a thing as face when necessary, and you can't look too ugly, right? Everyone has thrown away their weapons openly in front of you, and if you want to do it back, it will really be too much to say! So they no longer stopped it, and every time Chi Zhan took a step closer, they would get out of the way, and finally they really opened a way for him in the middle.
Chi Zhan walked all the way unimpeded, went straight to the top floor, and came to a curtain, just as his hand was about to be lifted, he heard the afterimage of the applause inside.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, but I didn't expect you to be more and more bold under the hands of the Absolute Shadow. ”
Chi Zhan was just about to speak, but he heard a slight crackling sound suddenly behind him, like the sound of a flame burning, his eyes suddenly froze, and as soon as he turned around, he saw a red flower-shaped flame in the air flying and roaring from outside the door, and a scorching wave rushed to his face! He only felt a burst of hot suffocation, his eyes closed involuntarily, and his face opened slightly sideways, but this side opened and heard the sound closer to him, he subconsciously lowered his hand and touched his waist, but his sword had been handed over just now, and now his waist was empty, so he didn't catch anything, but even so, his hand still did not withdraw in time, at this time, a wave of heat brushed his face, bringing up a strand of hair on his sideburns, and it burned off from half, and the half strand of broken hair burned up with the curtain behind him!
Chi Zhan immediately volleyed up in the air, and the sharp wind around his body isolated the sporadic sparks, and at the same time, his hand on his waist finally let go, and waved lightly between the swirling and unfolding clothes, because the movement was too fast, and there were chaotic flying clothes to cover it, so outsiders couldn't see the movements in his hands at all, when he landed, the flaming red flower in the air had come to his front, just touching his eyelashes, that is, at that moment, the flower seemed to be blown away by the wind, suddenly shattered, scattered into more than a dozen petals from his eyes!
Chi Zhan stood steadily, not moving at all, and tens of thousands of Martian flames spread out from his eyes, so bright and magnificent!
The fire was quickly extinguished after it dispersed, so far, the hall finally sounded a faint exhalation, but this sound has not been finished, and then heard a crisp sound of ding, everyone looked again, only to see Chi Zhan I don't know when he put a willow leaf dart between the two fingers of the right hand and put it between the eyebrows, and there was a small ice cicada lying on the dart, half of the body of the willow dart was broken by it, and it kept spitting out black silk for some reason in its mouth, and the two fingers of Chi Zhan's dart were also formed with a layer of black thin ice, and there seemed to be wisps of black gas coming out under a closer look.
It was only at this time that everyone reacted, this ice cicada was originally hidden in the stamen of the spark, and as soon as the spark dispersed, the ice cicada flew out of the stamen in the middle, mixed in the flying petals to disturb people's sight, plus ordinary people must have a long breath and a big sigh of relief after dispersing the sparks, which can take people's lives more confidently by surprise.
If this blow hits him between the eyebrows, he will definitely be killed on the spot!
Just when everyone was amazed in their hearts, they suddenly heard more than a dozen dinging sounds in different sequences, but this time they clearly saw that Chi Zhan did not move, looked left and right, and saw that a total of more than a dozen different positions on the four walls were nailed with dark gold trimmed darts shaped like willow leaves, and the wall skin under those darts had been burned black. It was a spark that had just shattered and was nailed to the wall.
Someone suddenly came in outside the door, Chi Zhan listened to the heavy and slow footsteps, did not look up, only smiled slightly: "You are still the same, the same despicable and shameless." ”
After the afterimage sat on the curtain, he watched the whole performance with one hand on his cheek, and then he apologized very insincerely: "Offended, offended, my subordinates are not easy to discipline, and I hope I will forgive me." ”
Chi Zhan turned his eyes to look at the two newcomers, one white and one red, and said with a sneering smile: "They were originally people under the peak master, but I didn't expect the peak master to leave, and they followed you." ”
"Who is to blame for this? no one forced your peak master to leave at the beginning, it was he who had to go, so his old subordinates would naturally have to be reassigned to others, otherwise, would it be difficult for them to continue to follow your peak master?"
Chi Zhan threw the half-volley dart in his hand on the table, snorted coldly, and said, "That's right, it's supposed to be like this." ”
The remnant looked at the half-cut dart that was trembling in his hand, and raised his eyebrows: "Jueying has read all the books since he was a child, and he has learned a lot of miscellaneous things, and he once said that all the miscellaneous studies of a hundred schools are perfect, but no one knows that what he is best at is actually a hidden weapon." You are worthy of being his henchman, even his willow leaf dart is used in the same way as him, it is the first time I have seen a subordinate and master use the same kind of secret weapon, it seems that he really values you. ”
Chi Zhan didn't care: "He and I are already from the same school, although we are masters and servants, but we are also brothers, is it unsurprising to use a secret weapon?"
The afterimage smiled: "If you don't say it, I really forgot that you are senior brothers." But speaking of the master and servant, remember that you almost became the twenty-four blades back then, but the Absolute Shadow stopped it, and then broke the mind of the Lord, you must know that at that time, the Lord's summoning order had already been issued, and it was impossible to take it back, and the Absolute Shadow lost his temper in the main hall, and he refused to take a step back no matter how much the Lord of the Commander pressured, and finally he showed the Qiankun Fan with red eyes, which made the Lord of the Commander have to compromise and expel you from the ghost domain. ”
"Alas, you could have been one of our brothers, just like the Red Flower Cicada, and even with your qualifications, it was not impossible to be a lord, but because of his mixing, you have been subservient to others so far, just a small servant. If you hadn't had him back then, what would you be like now! Maybe you wouldn't have gone to the meeting alone for Xiandao and stood in front of me at this moment, but drank tea side by side with me, and discussed the big plan together! Thinking about it now, the passage of time and the changes in current affairs are really elusive. ”
The afterimage sighed as he spoke, as if he was really upset for Chi.
Referring to this period of the past, Chi Zhan did not show a look of regret and unwillingness as expected by the afterimage, but looked indifferent, he looked at the saffron flame and the cold shadow of the cicada, and looked at their cold appearance now, and snorted in disgust: "Do you think that everyone in the world likes your position very much? The so-called twenty-four blades are just a group of murderous tools without conscience and insensitivity." You can only hide in the darkness every day, live like them, there is no one or no ghost, there is only killing in your heart, and there are only dead people and darkness in your world, I don't want to live such a day. He pointed to the Red Flower Flame and the Cold Shadow of the Cicada and said coldly.
After hearing this, the afterimage sighed, raised his elbow and leaned on the window lattice boringly, and said abruptly: "I haven't seen you for so long, you can't talk about the old days, do you have to give me steps like this? ”
Chi Zhan sat down across from him and said calmly, "I'm not here to catch up with you. ”
The afterimage said: "I came here without a sword, not for the sake of reminiscing." He leaned forward with his hands on the table, "Could it be that he is here to die?"
Chi Zhan said: "Send to death? This time, I'm here to negotiate. ”
The Red Flower Flame, who had just walked upstairs, spoke out when he heard this: "Negotiation? What leverage do you think you have to negotiate with us now? Your master is now more than lucky, you are an ownerless person, where is it worth us to compromise and retreat?"
Chi Zhan looked up at him, as if he didn't want to pay attention to him, and said angrily: "Yo, I haven't seen you for many years, our flame hand is really still the same, or as fast as turning his face and turning the book back then, just chose the new master, I wish the old master died early, then I don't know if you still remember how you suppressed the afterimage lord on the order of our peak lord back then? At that time, you were not ordinary ruthless!"
Hearing this, the face of the red flower flame really couldn't hold back, the afterglow glanced at the afterimage, and glared at Chi Zhan a little uncomfortably, before he could speak, who knew that the afterimage spoke first: "Each is its own master, everyone has seen a lot of these things about changing camps and changing positions, I won't take it to heart, your peak master must have never expected them to be loyal to him, why do you have to be sarcastic?"
Chi Zhan glanced at the safflower flame coldly, and said casually: "It's nothing, it's just that I couldn't get used to him back then, if it weren't for the face of the peak master, I'm afraid he would have already fought back then, and now he is looking for another job, if you don't want me to fulfill my long-cherished wish for many years, don't let him mess with me!"
Red Flower Flame's eyes widened angrily: "Chi Zhan, don't think too highly of yourself, who is afraid of you......"
Before he finished speaking, the afterimage gently raised his hand and pressed it, and he immediately shut up reluctantly, glared at Chi Zhan and snorted coldly, and stopped speaking.
Afterimage continued: "You can negotiate if you want, but I have another thing I want to know now, so I might as well wait until I finish asking before I come and talk to you." And, I think you're also wondering about this question. ”
Chi Zhan already had a premonition in his heart, and he didn't need to ask to know what he was talking about. The afterimage snapped his fingers with a smile, turned his back to the cold cicada, and asked Leng Yingyu, "Have you fought with him?"
The cold shadow of the cicada played with the transparent cicada in his hand, and the ethereal white cold air floated up his face, forming a layer of pale white at the corner of his lips, he seemed to have not spoken for a long time, his voice was very dry, as if he had just begun to learn to speak, and said in a stiff tone: "No." ”
The people of Huangquan clearly said that Shangguan Yu did not escape from Cangshan, since they had not fought each other, then who could stop him in the mountain?
"As far as I know, although he was injured by Gui Xuan Naling, but with Huang Quan's little skill, it will not make him even have the strength to go out of the mountain, Huang Quan can come out, if he is not hindered by others, how can he not be able to get out of Cangshan? You have not fought with him, who fought with him?"
The eyes of the cold cicada were still lowered: "There are indeed others who have done something to him inside, but we don't know who it is." ”
Is there really anyone else?
Chill continued: " He knew us very well, and knew that we would not easily approach the wide-ranging formation of Guixu Naling, and would only set up defenses to stop him on the periphery of the Nine Rounds Array, so he made a desperate bet and tried his best to suppress Huang Quan, and then took the little girl straight to the Nine Rounds Array Eye, wanting to break through the Formation Eye, because the Array Eye is the strongest place in the entire Nine Rounds Array, and it is also the most vulnerable place to backlash, and if you are not careful, you will be coerced by the Array Light, and you will either die or be disabled, so no one will choose to break through there, and naturally no one will think of arranging people there, but he chose there, but he didn't expect that at the last moment, two flying swords flew out of nowhere, It was directly aimed at him, his internal breath was disturbed, his spiritual power collapsed instantly, and he was knocked down on the spot and vomited blood. It's also dangerous, if it weren't for those two flying swords, he might really have escaped, but unfortunately after we saw his intentions, we immediately made up for the omission in the formation eye, and by the time he was relieved, it was too late. ”
"And how did he leave the Nine Rounds Formation?" the Remnant then asked.
The cold shadow of the cicada suddenly fell silent, he and the red flower flame glanced at each other, as if they still couldn't believe that scene they saw in Cangshan, they couldn't say it at all.
The afterimage didn't wait for a long time to answer, and looked back at them, and the two of them immediately looked respectful, although they couldn't believe it, they didn't dare not answer, they only lowered their heads and said, "He, jumped into the Void Naling!"
“!!!”
“!!!”
Even Chi Zhan, who had been listening quietly and was moody, had changed his face at this moment, as if he finally couldn't hide the horror in his heart, and he couldn't even care about pretending in front of the afterimage!
Returning to the void, it can be sucked dry by it thousands of kilometers away, so how should the center of its whirlpool be turbulent? The wind inside alone can crush people to squander, and he dares to jump into it with his flesh and blood! This is really running for his life? Not looking for death? Not to mention the afterimage, now even Chi Zhan thinks that he is not brained, he has followed Shangguan Yu for so long, how can he never find out that he is actually conceited to such an extent!
"No wonder, no wonder, I said that the whirlpool of the Void Na Ling is gone, it turns out that he filled his body into it, and whether he can live or not, if he can extinguish the Void Na Ling, he is unparalleled in the world. The afterimage crossed his arms and looked in the direction of Cangshan through the window, muttering softly to himself, with a bit of heartfelt admiration on his face.
Suddenly, he turned around and looked at Chi Zhan, his face suddenly changed gloating, and in a blink of an eye, he had a villainous attitude, and the speed of his face change was staggering: "If you have the strength to fight, why do you need to negotiate with me?" Coupled with Shangguan Yu's current situation, can I think that you are already empty inside, so you have to come to me to negotiate peace?"
Chi Zhan clenched his hands, and his face was still impassive: "It's not good to ask for this word." You can find out where I am staying, and give me such a big gift, and I will return the gift, and naturally there is no reason to be empty-handed, how do you know that you are not surrounded by my people now?"
The afterimage's gaze flickered, his hands crossed, and his index finger rubbed in a circle: "Oh? Are you sure your person is outside? Forgive me for not being deaf, I really didn't notice it, if that's the case, I really have to send someone out to have a look." With that, he raised his hand and beckoned an entourage, gave him a look, and the entourage bowed slightly and retreated.
Chi Zhan followed the entourage out of the restaurant gate, his long eyelashes covered the look in his eyes, and said in a relaxed tone: "The Afterimage Lord is too nervous, it's just a few pairs of eyes, are there fewer people like us who are being targeted and assassinated? It's all commonplace, why are you afraid now? This really shouldn't be." ”
The afterimage couldn't see the joy and anger, and said expressionlessly: "You don't have to test me, you should be the one you should be most afraid of now, whether there is someone from you outside or not, inside, or I have the final say." ”
Chi Zhan leaned back on the back of the chair heroically, put one hand on the armrest, one leg cocked, his shoulders slanted and crooked, looking like a hanger, and he raised the corner of his mouth and smiled: "Of course I know that once I come in, my power of life and death is in your hands, but so what? It's a big deal, it's a death, how bad can it be? What's more, I won't necessarily die." ”
"You're pretty confident. ”
"Generally average. After all, this negotiation is also good for you, and if I die, your trouble will not be small. You, don't dare to kill me. ”
The afterimage became more and more interested, leaned forward slightly, and his eyes became brighter and brighter: "What a big breath, when is it on my territory, I have to worry about killing someone, then you can tell me, why don't I dare to kill you?"
The corners of Chi Zhan's mouth were slightly pulled, a touch of cunning flashed in his eyes, looking at the afterimage's disapproving expression, he said without being salty: "Just by virtue of it, I know that the person who sent the letter to Ye Che is you." ”
This sentence was really careless, how light and fluttering it was, but such a casual sentence made the afterimage stiffen suddenly.
As soon as these words came out, the surroundings instantly quieted down, and everyone seemed to have been struck by thunder, although they were stunned, but they all followed the killer's instinct, and calmly covered their emotions for nine points, leaving only one point of vague expressions that seemed to be surprised and suspicious, but they all tacitly did not make a sound, as if they were afraid of making a little movement, which would destroy this subtle atmosphere full of danger.
The afterimage's smile disappeared suddenly, and an imperceptible murderous intent flashed in his eyes, he slowly squinted his eyes, stared at Chi Zhan tightly for a long time, and said gloomily: "You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense." If you say it wrong, you will die. ”
Chi Zhan turned the cup in his hand, didn't even raise his head, and said: "You told the mysterious man in gray that you didn't find out who the messenger was, at that time he only thought that someone was higher than a mountain and escaped the pursuit of the martyr, but he forgot the simplest and most direct possibility, that is, the one who sent the mourner out was the messenger, so no matter how the mourner checked, he would never be able to find him." ”
The afterimage was not very surprised that Chi Zhan knew about the man in gray, but frowned slightly: "But this is just your speculation, I am the executor of this booby-trap, and it is my task to kill him, why do I still send him a letter?
"You naturally have a plan. Chi Zhan suddenly held the cup that was spinning, "Your original plan was to join forces with Ye Che to kill Shangguan Yu in Cangshan first, and then go back and kill Ye Che after Shangguan Yu was defeated, so that you can help that mysterious gray man to be the new master of Drift Fire Island, and that gray man is more obedient and controllable than Ye Che." In this way, the ghost domain died a big trouble, and changed to a more powerful arm, benefiting both inside and out. But this may not be the best outcome for you. ”
The afterimage leaned lazily back in the chair and looked at him with interest: "What do you mean by that?"
Chi Zhan continued: "The ghost domain makes the lord cold, never affectionate, only valuable people can survive in him, and the replaced person has only one end, that is, death. Twenty-four blades also happen to be the center of power with the greatest competition and the most severe killing, and outsiders only say that this position is the most important position, but they don't know that this is actually the most fatal position, a full twenty-four people, how can the balance of power, gangs, and interests in the middle be so easy to control? ”
"As the saying goes: a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. As a shrewd person like you, you naturally won't let people who might threaten you have a chance to grow. Instead of giving the ghost domain lord a more powerful one to share your favor, it is better to help Ye Che, the more stable the Ye Che position sits, the more the ghost domain lord needs to rely on you to beware of him, the greater your value, you can also easily send a favor to the Flowing Fire Island, after this matter the Flowing Fire Island will definitely be grateful to you, if you need it one day, Ye Che will not help you, isn't this kindness greater than matching the gray man? What's more, you sent a letter to Ye Che at that time, causing him to withdraw halfway, then Huang Quan, who had already shot, would be difficult to ride a tiger, without Ye Che's cooperation in the original plan, Huang Quan's lack of preparation would definitely be ruined, and the ending was indeed the same, she over-manipulated Gui Xuan Na Ling and caused herself to suffer a backlash, our peak master was provoked by her, and it was impossible not to be angry, in this way, Huang Quan was also wasted, even if she was only seriously injured, he could still recover one day, but the time for this healing was not a year or half a year, and the ghost domain was not very short of manpower during this timeAmong the twenty-four blades, the Absolute Blood Charm is the most prominent, and now the Absolute Shadow no longer exists, the Phantom is dead, and the Blood Shadow is a reckless man with no brute strength and resourcefulness.
This letter won over the Drifting Fire Island, abolished the Yellow Spring, and blocked the gray-clothed man, killing three birds with one stone. As for Qianqiu Pavilion, you didn't take them to heart in the first place, if they took advantage of Ye Che's rebellion to anger the Ghost Domain, it would be more to your liking, and then the Ghost Domain Lord would not be able to move you easily. If Qianqiu Pavilion can't shake the Ghost Domain, then this anger will inevitably fall on Drifting Fire Island, Ye Che will carry the black pot for you, not to mention, maybe he will have to rely on you to help him take care of these troublesome things!
"You said that your letter is not big?"
The afterimage listened with relish, as if listening to someone else's story: "Hearing you say this, I have become the one with the deepest thoughts, as you said, all this is from my hands, it is my wolf ambition, secretly plotting and calculating, without moving a finger, let them kill each other, but if I really have such a scheming, then how dare you sit in front of me and tell all this? I have the ability to clean them up without leaving the house, so I have no means to kill you sitting in front of me?"
Chi Zhan said categorically: "Of course you have, but if you kill me, I dare to guarantee that there will be an additional secret letter on the desk of the Reincarnation Hall tomorrow, and what will be written in that secret letter, you might as well guess." ”
The afterimage's face turned cold: "You threaten me?"
Chi Zhan smiled gently, turned over the teacup he was holding, covered the mouth of the cup with his hand, and knocked his fingers down one after another: "I said earlier, it's a negotiation, not a threat." ”
The remnant index finger tapped his forehead and thought for a moment, "But if I kill you, I have a way to stop that secret letter, and there are many ways." Keeping you is a variable, and it's safer to kill people. ”
When the words fell, Chi Zhan had heard the sound of footsteps downstairs, although he was sitting upstairs, the awe-inspiring murderous aura seemed to have arrived in front of him, which made his back inexplicably chill. His muscles tensed, but his expression was still unusually cold, and his left hand, which was hanging under the table, was clenched again.
"Since I dare to unload my sword at the door, I'm not afraid that you will do it to me, anyway, I'm just a subordinate, without me, the peak master can find someone to replace him, and it won't have any impact at all." But as one of the only two remaining lords in the Ghost Domain, do you really have nothing to love for? Both of our lives are either alive or dead, if you don't believe in evil, then I will accompany you to gamble on this, regardless of life or death, and accompany you to the end. Whether you want to exchange the life of one of your lords for the life of one of my close subordinates, you decide for yourself. ”
Speaking of this, the afterimage was really stunned, he stared at Chi Zhan for a long time, the two looked at each other, the former was tentative, and the latter was calm. The whole room was so quiet that even a pin could be heard, and the footsteps outside the door were still approaching, but they didn't seem to hear it, especially Chi Zhan, who was cold like a statue, and the firmness and calmness in his eyes never wavered.
Yes, does he dare to gamble? With his current status, meritorious service may not be beneficial, but once he commits it, it will definitely be a catastrophe! Especially this kind of mistake of secretly disobeying the Lord Ling, as long as the Lord Ling knows it once, even if this knot is knotted, even if he is not killed now, he will never let him live for too long, and it will be a result in the end! He does not have such a good teacher as Shangguan Yu as a shelter, but it will be fine to go out, if he really loses the trust of the Lord Ling, it will really be a dead end! This life, this status, this right to kill, how sure does he have to be to gamble?
After a long silence, he suddenly said: "It is said that when the Absolute Shadow left, he took a group of henchmen with him, and some of them remained in the Ghost Domain, but now it seems to be true." ”
Chi Zhan sneered, his tone plausible: "Who are you listening to?"
The remnant knew that he would never admit it, and he didn't bother to talk to him, so he said directly: "How are you doing?"
Chi Zhan saw that he was relieved, and his heart was relieved, presumably he thought that the peak master had buried his eyes in the ghost domain, and he couldn't cover the sky with one hand before he pulled out these eyeliners, so he didn't dare to bet on this game, so he said: "You hand over the antidote to the frost in your heart, recall 100,000 evil ghosts, and then immediately take your people to withdraw from Liangwan City and return to the ghost domain." I'm going to lock this news to make sure that no word will flow in the door of the ghost realm. ”
The afterimage replied cheerfully: "The antidote to the frost on the heart can be given to you, but 100,000 evil ghosts can't be withdrawn, I am negotiating with you, not admitting defeat and surrendering." What's more, if I have promised you, I will go back like this, and let me explain to the Lord Ling? ”
Chi Zhan refused to back down: "Now that Huang Quan has been seriously injured, and Ye Che has also torn this layer of window paper with him, he will not bother with you anymore, unless he wants to betray his relatives." ”
The afterimage snorted: "It's not for nothing that the autumn queen settles accounts, you want to have the best of both worlds, don't I want to be foolproof?"
Chi Zhan thought back and forth in his heart, thinking quietly for a moment, now the afterimage did not know that he had withdrawn all the people, so he was willing to reluctantly compromise, it was already a dangerous victory, if he was careful, he would definitely wonder why he cared so much about the hundred thousand evil ghosts, at that time he guessed that he was not well manned, and he regretted it on the spot. Since he has agreed to withdraw, let him go quickly.
"Well, that's it. ”
The afterimage smiled and raised his hand and waved it out of the door, and the dozen or so black-clothed people who had already penetrated half of their bodies immediately stopped and bowed back. Chi Zhan glanced back, only to realize that their swords were only an arm's length away from the back of his heart just now.
The afterimage stood up and looked out the window: "You've been here for so long, don't you wonder why Shuangxue isn't there?"
"Those who turn their backs on the Lord have no shame to see the old man. It's a little more embarrassing than the two of them. Chi Zhan lazily glanced at the Red Flower Flame and the Cold Shadow of the Cicada, and said disdainfully.
The afterimage also snorted disdainfully: "Shameless to see the old people? This kind of thing only happens to people who have old people, and you are afraid that you have made the wrong person." Frost and Snow suffer from appendage cold, you know this, I heard last night that there is a medical hall at the gate of the city, what is the name of?" he nodded with his hand and frowned slightly, with a serious thinking expression, "Ah, by the way, Qianzhitang." He heard that a miracle doctor suddenly came there last night, and his medical skills were very good, so he rushed there early in the morning, although he had been suffering from this disease for six or seven years, and it seemed that he would not get better, but he still had to fight for it if he had the opportunity, and he couldn't give up hope. He should have gone in by this time, and I don't know if he had seen the face of the miracle doctor. ”
Chi Zhan's face changed suddenly, and he said slightly: "You ......"
The afterimage had expected him to react like this, and Yun said lightly: "You don't have to be angry, he went before you came, and I didn't break my promise." The frost on the heart is his, and the antidote is naturally with him, I will let him leave the antidote in Qianzhitang, but whether he did it before this, I don't know, it depends on your luck. ”
Chi Zhan gritted his teeth angrily, too lazy to have a verbal dispute with him, turned around and left, walked a few steps, and the afterimage said behind him: "There is one last question for you." ”
Chi Zhan stopped and didn't look back: "What?"
Afterimage said: "How do you know that I sent the letter?"
Chi Zhan said lightly: "You have a martyrdom, and we naturally have our intelligence organization." ”
The afterimage stood silently behind at this time, a little more appreciative out of thin air, and he was able to quietly raise an intelligence organization comparable to the Ghost Domain, and the depth of concealment was even deeper than the Ghost Domain, how much has Shangguan Yu done over the years? How many are he not known? No wonder he is the first person to walk out of the gate of the Ghost Domain in so many years, which makes the Lord jealous of him, which is really reasonable.
He walked to the table, spread out the pen and paper and wrote a few lines, then put the paper into an envelope and handed it to Chi Zhan: "Give it to him on my behalf." And our conversation today......"
"No one else will know, unless ......" Chi Zhan looked at the Red Flower Flame and the Cold Shadow of the Cicada.
The afterimage naturally realized and swore an oath: "Don't worry, they are my people, and I know it." ”
Chi Zhan couldn't care about them, and he didn't bother to care, he stretched out his hand to answer the letter, and dragged it, but the afterimage didn't let go, he looked up in confusion, only to hear the afterimage leaning down in his ear and whispering: "You said that we are the killing tools of no one or ghost in the gutter, but have you ever thought that your peak master is also a person like us, and he has done what we have done." ”
Chi Zhan's eyes flashed slightly, paused for a moment, and said meaningfully: "No." He's not the same as you. ”
He didn't look at the afterimage anymore as if he didn't understand, and walked straight away.
After walking out of the drunken evening building, he paused, glanced slightly sideways at the alley behind the right, smiled, and turned around: "Bother the two brothers to return my sword to me." ”
The two men in black guarding the door glanced at each other, went back inside, picked up the sword on the ground, and handed it to him. Chi Zhan took the sword with a smile, and patted them on the shoulder: "I had a good conversation with your boss this time, I really can't help the brothers who have been guarding for so long a day, and they have personally sent me the sword." I hope you can pass on another message for me, so that he will not forget to promise me. ”
The two men in black didn't intend to speak, they glanced coldly at the hands on their shoulders, but in the end they resisted the urge to draw their swords and went back with a cold face.
Chi Zhan was not embarrassed, he was still swaying on the street with a smile on his face, until he turned an alley corner, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, he leaned against the wall and took a deep breath, his right hand slowly opened, his palm had been soaked in a layer of cold sweat, and there was a soybean-sized red bead on the cuff that was growing larger, until it was full until it fell into a drop, and then condensed into a thin line flowing down the wrist to the palm. Where the blood passed, it instantly froze into ice.
