When Shangguan Yu entered the hall, the blood shadow and the afterimage had been waiting for a long time, and when the afterimage saw that he was only here at this time, he raised his eyebrows, and pretended to be impatient: "Why are you so slow? This is not like your footsteps, could it be that you are playing in the wilderness outside, and your cultivation has also regressed?"

Shangguan Yu smiled: "This doesn't bother you to worry about, even if my cultivation is only one percent left, it is enough for me to deal with you." ”

As soon as these words came out, the afterimage's face immediately froze, and the hippie smile just now disappeared without a trace. The blood shadow was even more angry than him, and before he could speak, he took the lead in pushing back: "Jueying, you used to be the head of the lord, and we were suppressed by you, so you were rampant." But you're about to take off this clothes now, it's better to think clearly before you speak, otherwise your trouble probably won't be small! You should know the best about the means of the Ghost Domain, and I don't need to say anything else!"

Shangguan Yu scratched his ears, not bothering to look at him: "It seems that the Blood Shadow Lord can't wait to take over the position of the head of this lord!

Blood Shadow: "I'm not in a hurry, I'll know when you take off this clothes!"

Shangguan Yu: "Okay, I'll wait for the big ride." However, I would like to kindly remind you that before you bring someone to find me, it is best to clear my roots here, and stand on my heels, and then you may still have a chance to win. ”

Bloodshadow: "What do you mean, mock me for being incompetent......?"

Before he finished speaking, the door of the temple behind him was suddenly opened, and at the same time, a cold female voice came: "The Lord ordered you to come over, did you listen to your quarrel?

When the three of them heard the sound, they turned around, only to see a tall woman who was also dressed in black walked outside the temple gate, the woman's eyes were sharp, her tone was pressing, and the majesty on her body was no worse than the three of them.

The woman walked to Shangguan Yu's side, glanced at his belt as if unintentionally, and said lightly: "When I just came in, I saw the little girl at the door holding a Qiankun fan in her hand, that is your beloved thing that never leaves you, and she would give it to others so casually." ”

Shangguan Yu shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "Let her help me get it for a while, and I will come back when I go out, how can I say it's for it?"

The woman gave him a helpless look: "Don't play your trick with me, just say it, what is the origin of that girl, it is worth letting you protect it with a Qiankun fan." You also said that you will come back when you go out, haven't you forgotten what you are here for today, without a Qiankun fan, you are not afraid of the Lord taking the opportunity to detain you?"

Shangguan Yu said confidently: "Although the Qiankun Fan is a talisman for me, I have been wandering in the Ghost Domain for many years, and I don't just rely on a fan. Even if I go in empty-handed today, there's nothing to fear from me. ”

The woman seemed to have expected him to say this, and did not react too much, her expression was as usual: "Whatever you want." ”

Listening to the greetings between the two of them, Blood Shadow originally looked impatient, but the tone of his voice to the woman was unexpectedly respectful: "Bai Feng, we were ordered to come back to report the situation, when will the Lord come out?"

Bai Feng said coldly: "The Lord has already made arrangements, you two can go to the apse to restore your life, there are already people waiting there." As for the Shadow, I want you to go in and see him alone. ”

After receiving the instructions, the remnant and the blood shadow were quite suspicious of the Ling Lord's move to summon Shangguan Yu alone, but they still didn't dare to delay the Ling Lord's instructions, and bowed their heads slightly to Bai Feng and reluctantly retreated, while Shangguan Yu was led into another dark room by Bai Feng.

Although the dark room is called the dark room, the furnishings inside are very luxurious and elegant, the lamp bead curtain is hung all over the room, the incense burner is elegant and exquisite, it is clearly like a gentle township, people who don't know still think that it is the living room of which dignitary, where is the appearance of the dark room.

As soon as Shangguan Yu entered, he saw a masked man wearing a cloak sitting on the main seat above, and the person's body was so tightly covered by the cloak that he couldn't even distinguish his figure, let alone his age. The only pair of eyes that are exposed to the outside are also radiant, and they can't see the depth, although they sit quietly like this, the aura that can be exuded is gratuitously majestic, which makes people feel a sense of awe for some reason. He lowered his head and swept around the guest seats, chose a position he liked, and said as he sat down: "The Lord has been waiting for a long time, and the Absolute Shadow has come to return to his life." ”

Seeing that he was so rude, the Lord of the Ghost Domain didn't get angry, he gently put down the tea cup in his hand, and said in a calm tone: "You have completed this mission very well, I thought you would not be able to do it, but I didn't expect you to be ruthless, I am very satisfied." ”

Shangguan Yu said: "Twenty-four Blades has learned to be ruthless when they went through the cage of 10,000 people, this is not surprising. ”

The Lord of the Ghost Domain was stunned at first, and then laughed: "That's right, but you're different from them. ”

Shangguan Yu was curious: "How do you say this?"

The Ghost Domain Commander said: "Although you have been in the Ghost Domain for ten years, your heart has never melted in. Even if you are ruthless on the surface, your heart is still warm, just like you can kill one hundred and ten lives in Huafu lightly, but you saved that inconspicuous little girl. Your disguise can fool others, but it can't fool me. ”

Shangguan Yu's right index finger and thumb rubbed lightly, knocked a few times on the table casually, and raised his eyes slightly: "Is it so obvious?"

Ghost Domain Commander: "It's not obvious, but it's enough for me to find out." ”

Shangguan Yu was not nervous at all after hearing this, but laughed: "Now at this time, don't you find out what is the point?" Anyway, I am here to announce my departure from the ghost domain today, and everyone should know my thoughts." ”

The Lord of the Ghost Domain was stunned when he heard this, and his tone was slightly gloomy: "Do you really want to leave?"

Shangguan Yu's face suddenly changed after hearing this, and he stared at a pair of eyes, as if a child had been bullied by an adult, and said aggrievedly: "I said before I went to Huafu, I will complete this last task for you, and you will withdraw the killers surrounding Wujiangling and let me stay." This is a long time ago! You can't go back!"

The ghost domain commander said: "Since I promised you, I will not regret it, but I want to remind you that although you have gained freedom this time, but at the same time you have to face endless troubles, you know the rules of the ghost domain, and those who leave halfway will be chased and killed for thousands of miles until death." What's more, your identity is no better than others, if you leave, you will have to face more than just chasing and killing, and then you probably won't think it's better to leave than here. ”

"You are now the head of your lord, one person under ten thousand people, not only do you not have to worry about your own safety, but you can also control the life and death of others, what's wrong with living so comfortably? This is what many people dream of, since you already have it, why bother to toss around and put yourself in a more dangerous situation?"

Shangguan Yu nodded when he heard this, as if he was really thinking about what he said: "What you said is right, my current position is indeed one in ten thousand, and anyone should want to squeeze their heads to fight, and no one will take the initiative to give up." ”

Seeing that he seemed to be loosened, the Ghost Domain made his tone more concerned: "So you have figured it out and changed your mind?" You can rest assured, as long as you change your mind, this position is still yours, and I can act as if nothing has happened, and it will be the same for you as before." ”

Shangguan Yu smiled apologetically, and said embarrassedly: "Lord Ling, you seem to have misunderstood, I haven't finished talking just now, and there is the second half - everyone has their own ambitions." I admit that working for you here is the safest option for me, but I still want to be free, even if I have to be careful day and night in the future, I will admit it!"

The Ghost Domain Lord was silent for a moment, and then suddenly said, "You mean, you have made up your mind?"

Shangguan Yu: "That's right. ”

The hand holding the teacup tightened tightly in the Ghost Domain Commander, and slammed it on the table, and a few drops of water overflowed inside: "Okay, since you have made up your mind, I won't force you to stay, you can leave at any time, and no one will stop you." ”

Shangguan Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, hugged his fist at him, and said with a smile: "Then thank you here." He didn't want to stay for a moment, and he got up and was about to leave.

He hadn't taken two steps yet, but the Ghost Domain Commander suddenly said again: "However, if we spread the news that the famous bounty killer in the Immortal Demon Dao is the young master of the dignified Shangguan clan now, I don't know if you will be able to go back?"

When Shangguan Yu heard this, his footsteps suddenly stopped, his expression gradually darkened, a trace of gloom flashed faintly in his eyes, he was silent for a long time, suddenly sneered, turned around and said leisurely: "If this is the case, then I can only make the true identity of the ghost domain public." ”

After hearing this, the Ghost Domain Lord's face changed suddenly, and a long-suppressed murderous aura finally flashed in his eyes: "Are you threatening me?"

Shangguan Yu said: "The subordinates don't dare, it is a bit serious to say that the threat is a bit serious, this is just a simple transaction." ”

Ghost Domain Commander: "Deal?"

Shangguan Yu: "That's right. I don't want to be the killer of the Ghost Domain anymore, and you don't want the world to know about the existence of the Ghost Domain, so now you have two choices. One is to kill me now, not only to prevent me from being hostile to you in the future, but also to keep your secret, but the problem is that you are not sure that you can kill me now, and rash action will only force me to have to be your enemy. So now the best solution is the second way, we each have each other's handles, then make a deal, promise each other to keep this secret silent, so as to contain each other, if we do well, we can be safe, each take what needs and avoid fighting, what's wrong? Why do you have to fight and kill, I am the most annoying, and besides, I am too lazy to fight. ”

The Ghost Domain Lord didn't expect him to say these words, and he couldn't help but be slightly surprised: "You were prepared for a long time, and you thought about everything before you came in, no wonder you are so fearless." ”

Shangguan Yu: "It's over, I just prefer to move my mouth between moving my mouth and doing it." ”

The Ghost Domain Lord still didn't seem to understand what he was doing: "Even if you don't like to be a killer anymore, but you have been a killer for me for ten years, the killing in your hands has been completed, and everything has been done, even if you go back, those killings will not disappear, in this case, what is the point of going back? Since there is no meaning, what do you have to cling to?"

Shangguan Yu didn't think so, and said meaningfully: "Whether it makes sense or not, you won't understand." I didn't have a choice but to do these things before, but now I have the ability to say no, so it's time to get my life back on track. As for the previous ten years, it was just a dream of mine, and I finally waited for the day when I woke up from the dream. ”

"Actually, taking a step back, it's good for you and me that I'm gone. You have already seen that I have not been with you for 10 years, and I have asked to leave today, can you really think that nothing has happened? The so-called innocence of the past is nothing but a lie to others and yourself, and you yourself may not believe it! In this situation, even if I do not leave today, you and I will eventually have a battle because of mutual suspicion, and in this case, it would be wisest for me to leave now. ”

After hearing this, the Lord of the Ghost Domain couldn't help but be secretly shocked, not only would he judge the situation, contain himself with a small transaction, and get out bloodlessly, but also figure out people's hearts. The meticulousness of his thoughts, the long-term vision, and the transparency of seeing people are not what he should have at his age. He is fortunate that this person can be used by him for ten years, and he is worried that he is leaving today. But he is an unruly person, and he obviously can't suppress him anymore. He understands that today's situation is inevitable.

The ghost domain made the lord think for a moment, and in order to protect the ghost domain first, he had to sigh helplessly, and said angrily: "Then it's up to you." ”

Shangguan Yu had long expected such an answer, and before the words fell, he said lazily: "Thank you Lord Ling, I will say goodbye." ”

This time, the Ghost Domain Order Lord finally didn't stop him anymore.

When he went out, in addition to Ye Lingluo, there were three or two more people in black waiting for him outside the door, and those people immediately perked up when they saw him come out, and stepped forward and said, "Lord, how is it?"

Shangguan Yu said confidently: "It's not surprising. ”

After hearing this, those people's expressions eased slightly, and then they leaned into his ear and whispered: "Just now, the Remnant Lord sent someone to report, Hua Xie is gone." ”

Shangguan Yu took back the Qiankun fan from Ye Lingluo's hand, lowered his head and inserted it into his waist: "Don't ask, it must be the blood shadow who did it, you know that he doesn't stop." ”

"So what are we going to do?"

Shangguan Yu sighed, raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows, and said casually: "Inform Chi Zhan, it's time to do it." ”

"Yes. ”

The subordinate received the order and left in a hurry, leaving only Ye Lingluo to follow him and look at him thoughtfully. Shangguan Yu seemed to sense her strange gaze, turned his gaze to her, and asked curiously, "Why are you looking at me like this?"

Ye Lingluo stared at him tightly and said seriously, "Who are you?"

Shangguan Yu laughed, "Didn't you hear them call me the Shadow Lord?"

Ye Lingluo said firmly: "No, I'm not talking about this, I'm asking about your true identity, the identity you have always regarded yourself as in your heart." ”

Shangguan Yu was stunned after hearing this, he didn't expect this little girl to be able to ask this kind of question, no one had ever asked him this question, or no one had ever cared about what kind of person he was, and even occasionally he would forget who he was, which was also what he hated the most. He was silent for a while, his eyes flashing with unprecedented seriousness, and after a while, he raised his head and said in a deep voice: "If you really want to say that, it is a shadow in the dark." ”

Ye Lingluo frowned after hearing this, not quite understanding the meaning of this sentence: "How can there be a shadow in the dark?"

Shangguan Yu just smiled, didn't speak, looked at her fixedly and walked away.
