In the middle, on the outskirts of Wen'an City, in the mountains.

There is a valley surrounded by mountains on all sides, and at the opening stands a huge stone tablet with three large characters engraved on it.

Purple Flame Palace.

A bumpy figure stood on the top of the hill at the edge of the valley, looking at the interior of the valley that now looks like it, recalling the lively scene in the Ziyan Palace back then, and his eyes were slightly red.

At the beginning, Xiumei was the youngest among the many core disciples of Ziyan Palace.

Her talent is not particularly outstanding, but due to her young age, many brothers and sisters love and take care of her.

And when Elder Taishang reached the most dangerous time, he also thought of her and let her survive.

"Senior brothers and sisters, Elder Taishang...... We have lived up to your expectations...... Ziyan Palace, back. Xiumei muttered with tears in her eyes.

"Before that person is killed, the Purple Flame Palace will not be revived. ”

At this time, a voice came from the air.

Xiumei raised her head and saw Jiang Dao, dressed in a purple and gold robe, floating in the air, with her hands behind her back, looking down at the valley.

"Senior brother, you're out of the customs. Xiumei wiped the tears from her eyes and asked happily.

"Hmm. Ejima responded.

Xiumei stared at Jiang Dao's figure closely, wanting to see his face.

But Ejima kept his back to her, and his body exuded an extremely cold feeling.

At the same time, wisps of gray qi swirled and flew around his body.

"The current Ziyan Palace is not comparable to that back then. Jiang Dao said indifferently, "It's too far away." ”

"Senior brother, let's work together in the future, and the Ziyan Palace will one day be able to recover to its prime......," Xiumei said.

"Of course, I will not only restore the Purple Flame Palace to its original appearance, but also let it rise to a higher position!" Jiang Dao suddenly turned his head and looked at Xiumei.

Seeing Jiang Dao's face, Xiumei's face changed.

Since obtaining the Chaos Bead, Jiangdao's entire person has been slowly changing.

After more than a month of retreat, the change became even more pronounced.

Now in Ejima, the eyes have lost the black and white characteristics of normal humans, and the whole has become a faint gray, and there are no eyeballs and no pupil focus.

So much so that he faced Xiumei, and Xiumei didn't know where he was looking.

In addition to the obvious change in his eyes, his facial features also have subtle changes.

The height of the bridge of the nose, the width of the mouth, and even the ...... of the ears

The changes in these places may be difficult for others to notice, but for Xiumei, who has been paying attention to Ejima, it is obvious.

She always felt ...... The current Jiangdao is very unfamiliar.

Not only the change in the face, but also the change in the breath.

In the past, Jiangdao always gave people a warm feeling.

But now Jiangdao, once it appears, the temperature of the entire space will drop.

And when he opened his mouth to talk to various junior brothers and sisters, he didn't have a trace of emotion, as if he was calling people.

This feeling...... It makes Xiumei very uncomfortable.

She always wanted to get close to Ejima until she became the closest person to Ejima.

But now, Jiangdao is going farther and farther.

"Why didn't I make the statue I wanted?"

Just when Xiumei was thinking wildly, Jiang Dao in front of her suddenly asked.

"The statue?" Xiumei was stunned for a moment, looked down, and didn't think about it for a while.

"Before I retreat, I order you to erect the statue of the miscellaneous kneeling down to atone for your sins at the gate of the Purple Flame Palace. Ejima asked in a cold voice, "In more than a month, can't you even make a statue!?"

Seeing Jiang Dao's tone turn cold, Xiumei's face turned pale, and said, "Several senior brothers may ...... this matter."

Ejima stood in place, not speaking, and the momentum on his body became more and more cold.

"Big brother!"

At this time, two voices came from behind.

Two men quickly approached him.

Seeing Jiang Dao, the two of them bent down and clasped their fists at the same time, and said, "Congratulations to Senior Brother on getting out!"

These two are the two core disciples with the highest rank below Jiang Dao.

Ranked second, Hong Xian. Ranked fourth, Chen Lun.

These two people, plus Jiang Dao, were called the three stars of Ziyan Palace back then.

And the relationship between the three has always been very good.

"What about the statue I asked for?" asked Ejima in a cold voice.

"Uh...... Senior brother, during this time, the Purple Flame Palace has just been established, and we have too many things to deal with...... We're going to cast the statue later......," Hong replied.

Chen Lun didn't speak, sweating on his forehead.

In fact, the two of them did not have the courage to build such a statue.

They didn't dare to recall the situation back then, let alone Fang Yu's face.

That man was their deepest nightmare, an indelible fear.

The soul trembles at the thought of it, let alone erect a statue?

Ejima didn't speak, just floated in mid-air, looking at the two people in front of him with his gray eyes.

An invisible coercion pressed on the shoulders of Chen Lun and Hong Xian.

The two men turned pale.

"Senior brother, the Hundred Sects Great Competition is about to officially open in the near future, should we shift our focus to ...... first" Chen Lun thought about it and said.

"Senior brother, we ......," Hong Xian followed.

"Bang!"

Before the two of them finished speaking, they snorted in pain, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and fell out.

"Second Senior Brother, Fourth Senior Brother!"

Xiumei's face changed drastically, and she immediately ran forward.

Chen Lun and Hong Xian had their mouths full of blood, covered their chests, raised their upper bodies, and looked at Jiang Dao in front of them with wide eyes, in addition to horror, there was more anger in their eyes.

In the Ziyan Palace, the person they trusted the most was Jiang Dao.

Both before and now.

However, Jiangdao did it to them!

"Senior brother, ...... you" Chen Lun stared at Jiang Dao in the distance, and was about to speak.

"Whoosh!"

At this time, Jiang Dao's body suddenly moved, and suddenly appeared in the sky in front of the two of them.

Ejima opened his hands.

"Boom!"

A large burst of gray gas poured out of his body, spinning at a rapid speed, like a sandstorm.

At the same time, the colors of the sky above the valley are slowly rendered gray.

An extremely powerful aura emanated from Ejima's body.

In the vision of Chen Lun, Hong Xian and Xiumei, the sky is full of desperate gray.

This scene...... It's like the end is coming.

Jiangdao is the center of the end times.

He was condescending, and there was not a trace of emotion in his gray eyes.

"I can feel the fear in your hearts. Ejima said indifferently, "That crumb, I can understand that I can understand that I have brought you a deep fear. ”

"So, from now on, I'm going to implant deeper fear in your hearts. ”

"Then you will be able to obey me completely. ”

Hong Xian and Chen Lun below, as well as Xiumei, their faces were pale and trembling all over.

In their opinion, Jiangdao today is extremely unfamiliar, and the senior brother they knew before ...... It's not the same person anymore.

"Senior brother, you ......" Xiumei's face was bloodless, and her tears couldn't stop flowing down.

"I know what you're trying to say, I'm not the same as before?" Ejima said, "yes, I've changed. At the same time, you have to change. ”

"I don't need the so-called friendship between brothers and sisters, I just need absolute loyalty. ”

"If you really want to revive the Purple Flame Palace, you should understand my thoughts. ”

After speaking, Jiang Dao waved his right hand forward.

"Whew!"

A large cloud of gray gas swooped downward.

"Senior brother......" Xiumei cried loudly.

But Ejima didn't react in any way.

In the next second, the gray qi completely engulfed the three people on the ground, and Xiumei's cry came to an abrupt end.
