Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Knot of the Rhine

In the quiet bamboo forest of the Nine Secluded Valley, Rhine and Bai Ying were chatting while walking, Rhine was expressionless, as if they had their own thoughts, and Bai Ying was also habitually expressionless. It's been three days since I came to the Nine Hidden Valley, and the injuries of Shangguan Yuanji and Ximen Cangyue have also improved, although Dongfang Ziyan's injuries are not as serious as Yuan's illness, I need to recuperate to recover, although Ziyan is anxious to rush back to the human world, there is nothing to do.

In the past few days, Rhine has not been idle, he followed the people of the Nine Hidden Valley to reconnoiter several times, in case people from the river basin chased after him, but no one came, I don't know if the river basin gave up the pursuit of them or the protection system of the river basin was seriously damaged and was being repaired.

"Ayu, I have something to ask you." Rhine and Bai Ying said as they walked.

"I know everything." Bai Ying said lightly that he was absolutely convinced of Rhine, after all, he was his former boss and life-saving benefactor.

"But this matter should be your top secret, I'm afraid you won't be able to say it." Rhein said.

At this time, Bai Ying's face changed slightly, but he immediately said, "You just say it." ”

Rhine rarely speaks to people in this tone, Bai Ying is also a person who knows him better, he is the kind of person who is very proud, has a cold and tough personality, and is as hard as steel in everything he does and speaks, but now he is communicating with Bai Ying in very polite words.

"Okay, but before I get there, I'll ask...... How did you become the valley master of the Nine Hidden Valleys? Rhine looked at Bai Ying with a gloomy face, "Do you really want to say that it was the previous valley master who saved you and passed it on to you?" ”

This question fell to the ground like a steel ball, and a chaotic voice sounded in the hearts of the two people, the footsteps of the two stopped, Bai Ying held on to a bamboo, did not speak, and Rhine did not speak again, they were silent to each other, looking at each other, obviously there was no wind but there were bamboo leaves floating down the sky.

"I won't lie to you," Bai Ying lowered his head, "The old valley lord is called Bai Ling, if he hadn't saved me at the valley mouth, I'm afraid I would have been ...... by the people at the top of the gods."

"The man at the top of the gods actually chased him to the demon realm." Rhine couldn't believe it.

"Yes, the Three Realms were originally separated by barriers, but there are still some weak points, and the so-called entrance to the Demon Realm at the North Pole of the Human Realm is just a barrier crack opened by the Spirit Void Asura" Bai Ying paused, "There is a human realm between the God Realm and the Demon Realm, so I can escape to the Demon Realm, you should know this very well." ”

"Why would the leader of the Nine Shadows Organization easily hand over the position of the Lord of One Valley to a Protoss, and he was a person who was hunted down by the high-level of the Protoss?" Rhine's eyes were fixed on him, and an atmosphere of unease arose.

If it were someone else, he would definitely wonder why Rhine suddenly delved into this matter, but he wouldn't be surprised, because he knew Rhine too well, and since Rhine cared so much about the affairs of the Nine Shadows, there must be a reason.

So, Bai Ying stepped forward and whispered in Rhine's ear, "My lord, I know all your confusion, but this is not the place to speak, and I can't say why here, let's go to the Nine Demon Realm." ”

"Nine Demon Realm ......"

When it comes to the Nine Hidden Valley, everyone will know that this is the alchemy machinery holy land of the Demon Clan, but few people know that this place does not belong to the high-level management of the Demon Clan, as we all know, the Black Stone Demon Clan implements a hegemonic dictatorship, and the Demon Emperor has full authority to manage the whole clan, and the Seven Demon Gods are only acting on behalf of a part of the power, but the Nine Shadows Organization of the Nine Shadows Valley is actually a self-managed institution, which also shows that the Nine Hidden Valley is not directly managed by the high-level of the Demon Clan, on the contrary, it is very concerned and respected by the Demon Emperor. This strange phenomenon should also be explained from the essential nature of the demon race, because the main management system of the black stone demon clan is borrowed from an empire in the flood era, that empire is the same era as the ancient Hongjun Empire, and the destruction of the ancient Hongjun Empire is due to him, and the demon clan has inherited the three purposes of "requisition, sacrifice, and original sin", and Luo Yu is even more important to the sacrifice.

The main building of the organization in the Nine Hidden Valley is in the valley area, in the south of the Nine Hidden Valley, it is a hinterland in the valley, this is a forbidden place, a mysterious place shrouded in dense fog, called the "Nine Shadows Demon Realm". There is a building called "Hidden Scripture Pavilion" in the Demon Realm, which contains a large number of ancient books, and there are no more than six places like this in the world. Except for the valley lord and the chief priest in charge of the alchemy sacrifice, no one can enter, but Bai Ying made an exception this time and took Rhine in.

After arriving in the hinterland of the southern valley, Rhine found that the plants growing here were much taller than outside, and the clumps of plants blocked the only path, and the fog here was very heavy, but fortunately, Bai Ying led the way. But Rhine didn't know why Bai Ying brought him here to talk, he didn't ask in detail, he could only go with him, Rhine was also very calm this time, the two of them didn't speak along the way, just stepped up a little, and finally, after walking for about a quarter of an hour, a huge black shadow appeared behind the dense fog in front of him, presumably this should be the legendary Hidden Scripture Pavilion.

"My lord, here we are." Bai Ying turned around and whispered, the two nodded to each other, he turned his head and continued walking, holding a black iron chain with his right hand, someone whose arm was so thick, and then Bai Ying flew to the ground and jumped onto the iron chain, the iron chain went all the way up, and it seemed that it should be connected to the Hidden Scripture Pavilion.

"It looks like a completely enclosed building...... Not even a door. Rhine's cold face also jumped up.

With the help of the method of light body, the two of them walked along the iron chain to the end without much effort, Bai Ying knocked on a dark window on the black building, and the two walked in one after the other.

The Tibetan Scripture Pavilion is an ancient building, although it has been repaired many times, but it still retains the ancient style, this is a tower building of the tired Babel Tower, but there are only four floors in total, there is no main entrance, only the four directions of the southeast and northwest have chains connected to the four floors of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, Bai Ying walked the north iron chain this time, and went directly to the fourth floor.

"I heard that there is a gravityless environment in the Scripture Pavilion, and all the books are suspended in mid-air," Rhine and Bai Ying walked on the circular corridor, the ground was a smooth and mirror-like floor, which seemed to be spotless and clean, Bai Ying nodded, pushed open a purple sandalwood inner door, and the smell of books came to his nose.

As soon as he entered, Rhine felt that this place was really a state of no gravity, his body was taken to the air, surrounded by suspended books, Bai Ying took him, the two walked in the sea of books one after the other, in front of them were soft golden light, Rhine saw a glowing giant pillar running through the top and bottom, standing in the middle of this space, he opened a few books in front of him, and suddenly saw several figures next to the giant pillar, which seemed to be waiting for them there, sitting quietly.

"My lord, here we are, and all the secrets will be unlocked here for you." Bai Ying said lightly.

Rhine counted the figures from a distance, there were seven figures in total, "Are those the first few valley masters of the Nine Hidden Valley?" ”

"Exactly, those are the seven ancestors of the Nine Hidden Valleys, sitting on the golden body." Bai Ying said and stopped under the giant pillar, facing the remains of the seven ancestors, he first saluted respectfully, and then turned around, "Lord Rhine, you can ask me now." ”

Faced with the spectacular sight, Rhine seemed to be somewhat dismissive. If it were someone else, he would have been surprised by the seven sitting golden bodies and huge golden pillars, but he didn't think so, "Ayu, I just want to know, did you kill the previous valley master?" ”

Bai Ying glanced at the body of Bai Ling behind him, and said slowly, "The old valley master of Bai Ling has suffered from a vicious illness because of his perennial study of the alchemy ancient array, and it is really a last resort to pass on the throne to me, because at that time, most of the people in the Nine Hidden Valley knew that the old valley master was about to die, and they were all ready to seek the status of the valley master, and the people in the organization were secretly harboring ghosts, and they had already split into three factions, and the old valley master was not at ease to hand over the Nine Hidden Valley to any of the three factions, so he secretly taught me the status of the valley master of the Nine Hidden Valley, But only if I am allowed to do one thing. ”

"What's the matter? I don't see those three forces here now. Rhine was thoughtful.

Bai Ying looked at him and said, "I think you must have guessed, yes, they were all assassinated by me, the old valley lord Bai Ling said, keeping those three people will lead the Nine Hidden Valley astray sooner or later, when I brought the heads of those three people, he handed me the token of the Nine Hidden Valley Lord's 'Demon Sealing Order' and the sealing key of the Forbidden Land Hidden Scripture Pavilion, and pushed his own niece Cavalon Lowry to the position of the Grand Commander, and ordered Cavalon to help me ascend to the throne," Bai Ying said, his body seemed to become weak, and his hands hung down, "In a hurry, Before I could excuse myself, the old valley lord left for the west......" As he spoke, he looked at a sitting golden body behind him and sighed.

Rhine didn't speak, as if in deep thought, he was suspended in the air, and suddenly looked at Bai Ying, "Ayu, Jiuyou used to be an espionage organization, right?" So do you still have the information at that time, if so, the Nine Shadows...... Probably the only one who knows the secret of our Gruss family's extermination of the Nine Clans. ”

"House Gruss?" Every word Rhine said surprised Bai Ying, "I know about the spy organization, but it's top secret!" Wrong wrong! What exactly do these two things have to do with each other? ”

"My parents were secretly murdered by the Protoss, so I bloodied the top of the gods, but I never found the murderer of my parents, at that time* asked the people at the top of the gods, and I learned a secret from the mouth of a high-ranking god Leon: not all of the people who participated in the killing of my family were from the Protoss! But the one who took the lead, he didn't say it even to death. ”

"Although Jiuyou, who is an espionage organization, has long since disappeared, to be honest, the spy agency still exists secretly," Bai Ying broke out in a cold sweat, "In this way, the organization did have an operation to go to the divine realm twenty years ago......" As he spoke, he flew to the golden pillar, stretched out his hand and groped in the golden light for a while, took out a thick book, and handed it to Rhine, "This is a summary of espionage intelligence at that time, I remember it very clearly, page 492, there should have been a record there." ”

Rhine took over the spy summary, looked at it quickly, looked at it, looked at it, Rhine's face became extremely gloomy with a hint of surprise, Bai Ying could clearly feel a terrifying murderous aura rising from Rhine's body, at this time, Rhine raised his head, showing a helpless smile, and at the same time, because of the incomparable anger, his forehead burst out with green tendons, and the ghost hand in his right hand kept trembling, "How is it possible, I didn't expect it to be him......"
