In the underground palace, the candles are bright.

Chihua sat at the top with a gloomy face, and Youruo led the other two to stand respectfully aside.

The huge palace was silent at this time. And in the center of the main hall, hundreds of puppets wearing masks stood neatly. They all had their eyes closed, as if they were asleep.

The crunch of an iron tool hitting the ground broke the silence.

The eyes of the three of them couldn't help but fall to the ground in unison, and when they looked closely, what was lying on the ground was the dagger that pierced Chihua's back. And there were still a few traces of blood left on the sharp blade.

"Ruan Guan~"

At this time, Chihua's cold voice echoed in the main hall.

Suddenly hearing the call, Ruan Wan couldn't help but feel a palpitation. When his eyes wandered, he saw Youruo frowning and glaring at him.

Secretly relieved, she trembled and walked to the front of Chihua, and then lowered her head and responded: "Emperor of the Underworld~"

After waiting for a long time, I didn't hear any more sounds. After hesitating for a moment, Ruan Wan cautiously raised his eyes.

As everyone knows, at this glance, the line of sight actually crashed directly into the pair of demonic blood pupils. I saw that in the slightly narrowed red eyes, two cold rays suddenly shot out.

An indescribable apprehension and fear arose in my heart. In an instant, the whole body was like an ice cellar, and a refreshing chill spread to the limbs.

"Are you not small?" Chihua's face was like frost, and he looked at Ruan Wan coldly.

His face suddenly turned pale, his feet weakened, Ruan Guan knelt on the ground, and begged for mercy: "Emperor Hades, I didn't mean it just now, I know it's wrong." ”

Glancing at her lightly, Chihua's gaze finally fell on the dagger.

"Pick it up!"

He simply said three words, but in this fluttering tone, there seemed to be an invisible majesty, which made it difficult for the person kneeling on the ground to breathe.

Seeing that she was stiff and kneeling and had no movement, the anxious Youruo lowered her voice and urged her: "Ruan Guan, why are you stunned?

This shout woke up Ruan Guan. She hurriedly turned to the side and picked up the dagger on the ground. Then, with his hands raised above his head, he respectfully handed the dagger up.

Chihua leaned back, changed to a posture of supporting his forehead with his hands, lowered his eyes to look at Ruan Guan, and said lightly: "Use it to break yourself." ”

The whole body trembled suddenly, and Ruan Guan, who couldn't believe what he had heard, opened his eyes wide and looked at Chihua in a daze.

Ruan Wan was just angry for a while, hoping that the Emperor would calm his anger. Youruo clenched his fists and bowed, and his face at this time was also extremely ugly.

"Aren't you going to be a puppet leader? What, you regret it now?" Chihua ignored Youruo, still staring at Ruan Guan.

"I have no regrets. Ruan Wan hurriedly retorted.

Chihua bowed his head slightly and said, "That's good... But if you don't die now, how can you be a puppet?"

Ruan Wan was a little confused, "If I die, can I be a puppet?"

Hearing this, she hurriedly half-squatted in front of Ruan Guan and explained: "Ruan Guan, the Emperor doesn't want you to really die. Now you don't have half of your cultivation, so you have to do it first. Only then can those powerful forces be integrated into your body. ”

If you can hold the sword again and no longer be insulted at all, why is it difficult to die?

Thinking about this, Ruan Wan nodded, and said with a firm look in his eyes: "I understand." ”

With that, she slowly stood up and turned to look at the sleeping puppet soldiers in the center of the hall.

Originally, I was just a disciple of Remin Mountain who studied hard for the sake of cultivation. Who knows, a love word led me astray and was expelled from the sect. I thought it was worse than this, but I didn't want to be bullied by the mountain fisherman in the end.

Thinking silently at this point in his heart, Ruan Wan slowly closed his eyes full of mist, and the corners of his mouth also raised a bitter smile, and muttered: "Since the Four Realms do not allow me, then when I regenerate..."

After a pause, she opened her eyes suddenly, tightly grasped the dagger in her hand, and said coldly: "It will be destroyed!"

(b)

As soon as the words fell, I only heard a muffled sound of 'dong'. At the same time that the blade sank into his heart, Ruan Guan fell to the ground with a weird smirk on the corner of his mouth.

Piercing blood poured out of Ruan Guan's chest, and slowly spread and flowed up the stone steps.

Seeing this, Wu Zizi took two steps forward. Then he conjured up a black jade gourd, wanting to use the soul-attracting technique to attract the power of resentment inside to Ruan Guan.

But just as she was condensing, a big white hand suddenly blocked in front of her, and she also took away the black cloud gourd that she had spread out on the palm of her hand.

Yu Ruo was startled, and said in confusion: "Emperor of the Underworld, what are you doing here?"

Chihua leisurely looked at the gourd in his hand, and said with a smile: "What are you panicking about?"

Youruo frowned, pointed to the person who was bleeding on the ground, and said hurriedly: "This time is the best time to attract spirits, if it is too late, I am afraid that the power of those resentments will devour her." ”

Hearing this, Chihua kicked the person on the ground with his foot. Seeing that her face was bloodless, she was already unresponsive, so she half-squatted in front of her, and echoed Youruo: "What you said is also true, if you lose such a good puppet collar, it's a pity." ”

Because Chihua had his back to him, Youruo couldn't see what his expression was at this time. But when he heard this, he hurriedly answered, "Emperor Hades, time is pressing, please let the Emperor of Hades let Youruo..."

Chihua stretched out his hand and signaled, once again blocking what Youruo wanted to say next. Then, he slowly stood up, raised the corner of his lips, and said, "This time, let me try it." ”

"But if you forcibly activate the spiritual power now..."

Before Youruo, who was worried, stepped forward to stop it, the black jade gourd had already been opened by Chihua.

Suddenly, a black gas rose faintly from the mouth of the gourd. Chihua flipped his palm, and the spiritual power condensed in his hand also imprisoned the black qi in mid-air. Twisting his fingers lightly, he cut a wound, pointed his fingertips into the air, and smashed a few drops of blood into the black air.

At this time, the black qi that had tasted the smell of blood actually roared excitedly, and the sharp sound instantly resounded all around. Immediately afterward, I saw that in the midst of the black qi lingering, countless skull phantoms faintly appeared.

At the same time, Chi Hua's palm flipped downward, leading it to Ruan Guan. Then, the black qi covering her body stayed for a moment, and then drilled into it along the bloody wound.

Slowly withdrew his hand, Chihua's face at this time looked a little pale, and his lips had faded a little blood.

Handing the gourd to Youruo, he sat on the stone chair reflexively. The shadow cast by the candle flame obscured most of his face, so that the rest of the people could not notice the strangeness of his expression.

He took it respectfully with both hands, and then Youruo stroked the wall and probed in.

He actually directed all his resentment to Ruan Guan? This, isn't this intended to let her die again?

Shocked, Youruo frowned, and said to Chihua: "Emperor of the Underworld, her body can't bear so much resentment at all. She's like this..."

Before he finished speaking, Ruan Guan on the ground opened his eyes. And on the originally delicate face, countless weird black lines also surfaced.

The next moment, she suddenly covered her chest, the color of pain crawled all over her face, her mouth let out a miserable roar, and her body was also twisted into a ball.

Xing'er, who had been silent beside her, was finally frightened by the scene in front of her and sat on the ground.

Chihua straightened his robe, slowly stood up, and snorted coldly with an expressionless face: "Hmph, doesn't she want to be a commander puppet? ”

Passing over Youruo, Chihua paused for a moment, and then said: "She can stand it, and when she wakes up, she will be a puppet." Conversely, if it is devoured, throw the remaining bones farther away. ”

Hearing this, Youruo turned his head to look at Ruan Guan, who was rolling on the ground because of pain, and closed his eyes helplessly.

The first snow fell for a whole day, and the whole valley was covered in silver.

After returning from the underground palace, Chihua has been staying in the room and recuperating on his knees.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Hearing this, Chihua frowned, Chihua slowly opened his eyes, and whispered, "Come in~"

As soon as the door opened, a cold wind mixed with snowflakes poured in.

Candles flickered inside the house, and snow fell outside. Bai Hua stood outside the door with an indifferent expression, like a waterfall and ink fluttering in the wind. A white dress is better than snow, not stained with half a cent of dust, and it happens to be integrated with the realm behind him.

Chihua's gaze finally fixed on her right hand, which seemed to be holding a bag of things.

"It's late at night, what are you doing with me now?" he flicked his sleeve and changed into a lazy position, leaning back on the couch and staring at her.

Hearing this, Bai Hua didn't speak, just dusted the snow off his shoulders, and walked straight to the wooden table.

Putting the things in her hand on the table, she looked sideways at the person on the couch again, pointed to the round stool beside her, and said indifferently: "You sit here and take off your clothes." ”
