Chapter 56: Underground of the Imperial Palace

Wu Liangzi sat alone in a huge room, staring blankly at the door in front of him, his eyes blank and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The room was big but empty. The huge room was large enough to fill one or two hundred people, but only a huge bed was placed in the center of the room, and Wu Liangzi was sitting here. Directly above the bed, a light veil hung down and draped in all directions, holding Wu Liangzi's body but not her heart.

Wu Liangzi wanted to escape, but he couldn't.

In addition to this bed, there were four maids waiting quietly in the corner and various plates on the floor. A pile of plates was scattered on the floor, filled with all sorts of things. The food, the different kinds of clothing, and even the various treasures and trinkets included. But those things were just quietly placed there, and although the food would be replaced with fresh food by the maid every day, it was obvious that Wu Liangzi still didn't touch a bite.

It was clear that she had lost a lot of weight.

With a "squeak", the whole room suddenly opened, and the sunlight shone directly on Wu Liangzi's face, but she didn't even blink. As the door opened, Witchtail strode in. Seeing Wu Wei coming, the maids who had been waiting in the corner of the wall just wanted to step forward, but Wu Wei waved his hand and sent him away.

"Get out. ”

The maids closed the door as they left the room, and the room became dark again. Wu Wei didn't move, he just stood there quietly and said to Wu Liangzi: "Master Wu Xiaoxian, I really sincerely invite you to join my country of kisses. What I can guarantee is that your status in the Kiss will never be any lower than when you were in the Land of Imprisoned Cows!"

Wu Liangzi didn't speak, and she didn't look up. The scattered silk covered her eyes, and Witchtail couldn't see her clearly. The silence lasted for a while, as if he had expected this kind of scene, his tone intensified, and then continued: "Master Wu Xiaoxian, as the saying goes, there are two and no three, do you really want to continue to fight against my country of kisses? ”

Wu Liangzi still didn't speak, as if he was a dead man.

"Are you worried about your companion?"

Companions? Is it nine and a half of them? What happened to them?

Hearing the word companion, Wu Liangzi raised her head in an instant, and what Wu Wei could clearly feel was that the emotions up and down her body immediately changed. From the previous calm and indifference, it became solemn in an instant, as if it had been reborn.

In fact, caring is chaotic, and Wu Liangzi has done a better job of controlling his emotions. If you are not moved when you hear the news about your friend's safety, then what kind of friend is it?

Seeing Wu Ryoko's reaction, Wu Wei smiled lightly and then raised his feet and walked towards her. As he walked, he said, "I don't know what your friend's name is, the only thing I know is that he's almost no longer in this world. He walked up to Wu Liangzi, stopped, and watched her eyes dim from excitement to anger. Witchtail seemed to have achieved his goal, and spoke again, "So what? What do you think now?"

"I'm going to kill you...... I'll kill you. Wu Liangzi's voice sounded, and there was a trace of anger, but soon the anger was suppressed and turned into calm. When those words came out, she was actually very calm, as if she was saying something that must be done in the future.

She was going to kill Witchtail, and this thing had to be done, and she was extremely determined. At this time, Wu Liangzi didn't understand what kind of emotional state she was in, she obviously didn't have any special feelings for Jiu Han, but why did her own heart become extremely angry when she heard the news at this time? Wu Liangzi has always been a person who follows her own heart, she thinks she should do this, so she said it, and she will definitely do it in the future.

Hearing Wu Liangzi's words, Wu Wei was startled at first, and then laughed, and said, "It's up to you, Master Wu Xiaoxian, I'm afraid it will take a few years if you want to kill me." As he spoke, Witchtail's left hand flashed, and a staff appeared in his hand. He casually threw the staff—that is, Wu Liangzi's staff—to Wu Liangzi, and then said, "Give you a chance, you might as well give it a try." ”

"Thank you. Wu Liangzi's hands stretched out and grabbed his staff at the first moment. The moment the staff was in hand, it seemed that the entire space had changed color, and this was also the beginning of Wuwei's regret.

At that moment, Wu Wei clearly saw that the palms of Wu Liangzi's hands that grabbed the staff began to reddened slightly, and then his whole body seemed to be firmly stuck by something, and the feeling of blood clotting instantly filled his whole body. He was immobilized, and it was not a simple immobilization spell but a kind of spiritual oppression. The color of the whole world seems to be slowly peeled away, and after being peeled back into black and white, only the color of blood red remains.

What is this? Is it Wu Liangzi's ability? Wu Wei's heart was half cold at the same time as he was shocked, he and Wu Liangzi's release was only in the Chaotic Flame Canyon for such a short period of time, and he never imagined that Wu Liangzi would have such a powerful ability, could this be the strength of Shaohong's disciples?

In fact, it is. In the battle of Chaotic Flame Canyon, Wu Liangzi was attacked by the beast and his strength was not fully exerted, but in fact, the strength of a mature warlock is definitely not lost to a martial artist of the same level. The reason why Wu Liangzi can be called "Wu Xiaoxian Master" is actually not the name that was first called by Jiu Ban, but because he had the reputation of "the best of his generation" when he was not out of the country of prisoners.

Although the combat power is much stronger than Wu Liangzi, even if Wu Wei is defenseless against the angry Wu Liangzi, the result will be terrifying.

The feeling of suffocation grew stronger and stronger, and the world began to blur in Wuwei's eyes. The aura exuded from Wu Liangzi, who was holding the staff tightly with both hands, became more and more powerful, and Wu Wei's body gradually tensed, although Wu Liangzi did not have direct physical contact with him, his feet were slightly off the ground, as if someone had choked his throat and lifted it up.

For Witchtail, death seems imminent.

Suddenly, as if he had been let go, Witchtail slammed to the ground. His wrinkled face, which was flushed with red and bruised, had eased somewhat, and then when he looked up, he saw a scene that almost frightened him: Wu Liangzi had fainted on the ground at this time, and the tanuki was smashing her head with a punch.

"Stop!" Wu Wei immediately roared angrily, and then used almost all his strength to rush forward, he would never have watched Wu Liangzi die in front of him! But fortunately, the tanuki's fist did not fall but stopped in mid-air.

Looking at Wuwei's eager expression leisurely, the tanuki said, "You just don't want her to die so much?"

"Yes, she's still useful, she can't die yet. Witchtail's voice was hurried, and the concern was clearly audible, but this was also the most dissatisfying part of the tanuki. Wuwei, you are the general of the country of the Kiss, the general of the country, the pillar of the country! You have experienced so many lives and deaths, but now you are indecisive towards a woman?

Maybe there was a lot of struggle and thinking in his mind, but the tanuki didn't say anything in the end. He just silently took his hand away from Wu Liangzi's head, then stood up and turned around and left. He quietly took out the mask of the Kissing Monarch and put it on his head, leaving with only a sigh.

And behind him, Wu Wei stood in front of Wu Liangzi, his eyes complicated.

In the darkness, Jiuhan and Wei Xicheng had been walking in the endless corridor for several hours. In fact, they had already crossed several intersections by this time, but the darkness was still darkness, and they could not see any light. It is worthy of being called an underground palace, but in fact, its pathways are far more complex than the average human brain can imagine.

The desolation of this place is also unimaginable. It stands to reason that all the underground tunnels cannot be built for no reason, and they cannot be unused, but along the way, Jiuhan and Wei Xicheng only saw a desolation. Indeed, they passed through many secret rooms, but in those secret rooms, in addition to the boxes that had been opened, were broken corpses, as if they had been abandoned for a long, long time.

Is this really the underground palace under the Swallowing Spine City? Jiu Ban and Wei Xicheng couldn't help but start to hesitate.

"Brother Wei, will we ...... Can't get out?" After walking for a long time, Jiu Ban suddenly spoke. His voice echoed through the quiet and narrow corridor, making the already quiet space even more terrifying.

Wei Xicheng, who was in the dark, patted him lightly on the shoulder and said, "Don't think so much, there is always a way, it's a big deal that we just go back the way we came." ”

"Return, aren't you afraid of running into ...... again," Jiu Ban said and generally stopped, he really didn't want to recall the incident he had just experienced in such a terrifying change of scenery, it seemed to really make him creepy. But Wei Xiyan was obviously much more experienced than him, and continued: "You said that the human-faced spider is just a relatively common creature in the dark environment, so don't be nervous. ”

Recalling the scene he had just experienced, Nine and a Half still had goosebumps that could get up. In the second hour of their darkness, at some point, Nine and a Half suddenly noticed a subtle "rustling" sound, like the scales of a snake cutting across the sand, as if something small was moving. Out of caution, Nine and a Half carefully let go of the Qi that he had been hiding, and then the "surprise" happened: Nine and a Half Qi detected a group of strange creatures, which seemed to be non-human with eight legs, but had the appearance of a human face on the belly. What's that? Monster?

The hordes of creatures blocked in front of them in a black way, and a sense of evil suddenly surged out of his heart, and at that time, Wei Xicheng had already drawn his twin swords and was ready for battle.

It wasn't until he broke out of the mountains and seas that Wei Xicheng told him that the little things were actually human-faced spiders, a small threat that was just a very large number of social creatures.

But despite this, now that I think about it, I still feel sick to my stomach.

Walking and walking, Jiu Ban and Wei Xi came to a fork in the road again. In fact, this is the fourth time they have encountered this fork in the road with three forks, and this underground palace is not small, but it is also a little too terrifying. According to Jiuhan's speculation, they may have stepped out of the range of the Kiss Palace at this time, but they just don't know where they are.

Just as he wanted to open his mouth to ask Wei Xicheng how to go, suddenly his thoughts were interrupted by Wei Xicheng's raised hand. It didn't matter if Wei Xi raised his hand, but then an unfamiliar voice came into his ears.

"Come ......"

Nine and a half is certain that this is definitely a human voice, although this voice is obviously weak and powerless, but it really can't be fake. Looking at each other, Jiuhan and Wei Xicheng were a little unimaginable. Someone here, after seeing so many dead chambers, couldn't imagine what they were facing: someone alive in this confined space underground, calling for them.

Forcibly suppressing the surprise in his heart, Wei Xicheng said, "What should I do?"

"It should be on the right-hand side. Nine and a half replied, his eyes seemed to flicker with determination.

Even though the environment was so dark, it was difficult for Wei Xicheng to see his eyes clearly.

Almost without any hesitation, the two of them immediately rushed to the path on the right.

"Come ......" "...... here"

The voice never stopped along the way, and the direction was clear and clear, but the most unacceptable thing was that the voice didn't seem to be human, and it came from the darkness, like a ghost's cry.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, a little light suddenly appeared in the eyes of Jiuhan and Wei Xicheng.

Seeing the appearance of the light, the two of them immediately sped up their steps. It's like a moth to a fire, or something else, in short, the light is a must-go for Wei Xiyan and Jiuhan, who are extremely unaccustomed to the darkness, because at this moment they really can't continue to endure the loneliness in the dark.

After a few breaths, Nine Half and Wei Xi arrived at a secret room, and the scene inside was really unimaginable. A man sat in the corner of the chamber, and a faint light came from the candle beside him. The light of the candle flame is very faint, and there is not much left of the candle itself, as if it will be extinguished at any moment.

Similar to the candle was the man sitting next to the candle: a man who was almost slumped on the ground, his hair long and his face covered with stubble, and he hadn't washed it for an unknown amount of time. What can be seen is that this used to be a man who was not strong or at least plump, but at the moment he was described as withered, and there was not much meat left on his body.

"You ...... Are you here to save me?" the man spoke, his voice tinged with weakness.

Nine and a half and Wei Xicheng were taken aback by this title. There are not many people on this continent who are qualified and brave enough to call themselves "I", and this person is ......

Jiuhan and Wei Xicheng glanced at each other, and they both saw some kind of fanaticism in each other's eyes.

The northernmost part of the mainland, the country of the imprisoned cow, and the national teacher's mansion.

In the deepest part of the courtyard, a three-story pavilion was built into it. The appearance of the pavilion is really carved beams and paintings, and it is beautiful. At this time, the national teacher Shaohong sat alone on the third floor of the pavilion, slowly breathing.

Suddenly, her brow furrowed, as if she had discovered something terrible. Then she quickly pinched her fingers, and then her brows stretched, and there was a hint of a smile on her face.

"Xiaobai Xiaoqing?" Shaohong said softly, but after a few breaths, a pair of boys and girls dressed in green and white appeared beside her. The boy was dressed in green and the girl was dressed in white, as if she was a good couple.

After thinking for a while, Shaohong said: "Xiaobai, you will go to the Stargazing Tower in a while, take a look at your senior sister's life, and then report back to me quickly; ”

"Yes, Master. The boy, known as Xiaoqing, spoke, and then quickly left. However, the girl known as Xiaobai hesitated for a moment, and then spoke: "Master, the man who claims to be the envoy of Yue Mangong, the prince of the country of the Fierce Beast, has been waiting for you at the post station for a few days, don't you really think about seeing him?"

Shaohong didn't speak, just resumed her posture of sitting cross-legged, and then gently closed her eyes and began to breathe. Seeing that his master had such an attitude, Xiao Bai didn't say anything but saluted slightly, and then said, "Master, the disciple will retire first." ”

Xiaobai turned around and was about to leave, but at this time, Shaohong's voice came from behind her, as if it was magical, and her body was fixed.

"Xiaobai, you remember one thing," Shaohong spoke, paused and then continued: "Some people are destined to have no fate in this life; some seeds have no need to bloom and bear fruit at all; and some things should not be started, understand?"

Xiaobai stood there, nodded as if he understood something, but then shook his head, but in the end he didn't say anything, bowed again and left.

Behind her, Shaohong just closed her eyes and smiled, not saying anything.
