In the deep mountains located not far from Zhang's house, the Zhang family set up a dungeon here, starting from the entrance of the dungeon, the walls were carved with runes, extending to the depths of the dungeon, all of which were arranged just to restrain the Dao creatures that the Zhang family wanted to imprison inside-demon spirits.

When the Zhang family was at its peak, this dungeon was almost full of powerful high-level demon spirits, but now, this huge dungeon is so empty, and in its depths, there is the only demon spirit here, the Tiandao Mountain Demon Master Lingli.

Thirteen chains were used to bind Shi Lingli, Shi Lingli had no place to move all over her body, twelve chains locked all over her body, and the thirteenth pierced her lower abdomen, and the barb at the end of the chain pierced her back.

The blood stained with her clothes had already coagulated, and she couldn't see a trace of resentment on Shi Lingli's face when she was in such a miserable state, she just closed her eyes quietly, as if she was asleep.

"Where is the surname Renshui?" Zhang Yanyun, who was standing in front of Shi Lingli, asked again, this question, I don't know how many times I asked Shi Lingli in the month I was imprisoned, today is the last time, because tomorrow is the day of the blood sacrifice.

Zhang Yanyun held a jade pendant in his hand, that was the jade pendant that Sanshui had worn since he was a child, Zhang Yanyun would not admit his mistake, that jade pendant Sanshui had never let it leave his body, but now it appeared on Shi Lingli's body. One thing Zhang Yanyun knows very well is that she has a great relationship with Sanshui, otherwise Sanshui would not have put the jade pendant to her.

But just like the beginning, Shi Lingli didn't respond to anything. At first, Zhang Yanyun would still feel angry, but now it seems that he has become accustomed to keeping silent about her, and he did not get angry, and led the elders out of the cell where Shi Lingli was held

"The head of the house doesn't have to worry about it. Since it has been determined that this demon has a great relationship with the person who has removed the surname, then he will definitely be present at the blood sacrifice tomorrow. I have already arranged all the demon slayers to participate in the blood sacrifice, and with our strength, we are enough to capture that kid. The Great Elder proposed, and the Seventh Elder looked at him with imperceptible contempt in his eyes.

"Very well, after all these years, it is time for him to understand the fate of turning his back on the family and going against us at every turn. The three elders chimed in.

"Will he really come back?" asked Zhang Hai on the side, he was a little unsure.

"If he didn't want to endure the pain of the year one more time, he would have been there. If he hadn't come, it would have saved us a lot of effort. When Zhang Yanyun said this, he glanced back at Shi Lingli behind him, and at that moment, her figure seemed to coincide with the previous demon spirit, Zhang Yanyun quickly looked away, not wanting to be disturbed.

......

On Tiandao Mountain, Zhong Lao, the sect leader of Qingcheng Sect who was invited by Tiandao Sect to rest here, took a slow walk on the mountain road, the remnant snow of the cold winter has not completely dissipated, and under the snow layer is the flowers and plants that have withered in the old season, and after this snow melts, it should be early spring.

"My good student, don't let this Heavenly Dao Mountain become a second Snow City. Zhong Lao looked at the valley and sighed softly.

Tomorrow's blood sacrifice, the Zhang family specially invited Zhong Lao to watch, in fact, what the Zhang family wants to do, anyone can think clearly, it is nothing more than to give the Qingcheng Sect and the Lie family a dismount.

Sanshui was once a disciple of the Qingcheng Sect and a student of Zhong Lao, but at this time, he invited his teacher to watch the blood sacrifice that Sanshui least wanted to happen, and it was already clear what it meant.

Although there is still a connection with Sanshui, Qingcheng Sect has nothing to do with Sanshui on the surface, so Zhong Lao must be invited to express his attitude on behalf of Qingcheng Sect.

......

After the Seventh Elder came back from the dungeon of the Zhang family, it was already evening, and at this time, he specially came to Zhang Haotian's room with the dinner to be delivered to Zhang Haotian's room.

"Hello Seventh Elder. The two guards standing in front of Zhang Haotian's room hurriedly greeted him as soon as they saw the Seventh Elder.

"Hard work for you two, you go and rest first, there are some things above that I want to explain to Zhang Haotian, and when I leave, you can come back to guard." ”

"Yes. ”

After the two guards left, there were only two people left, the Seventh Elder and Zhang Haotian. The Seventh Elder pushed the door in, Zhang Haotian had just heard the sound of talking outside the door, and was sitting at the table, looking at the door that was pushed open.

Zhang Haotian was quite confused, for him, the Seventh Elder was very unfamiliar, except for the occasional greeting, there was no communication between the two.

"Haotian, this is today's dinner. The Seventh Elder said that he wanted to put the food in his hand on the round table in front of Zhang Haotian, but he didn't expect that it had already been occupied by the Four Spirits Chess Board.

"Seventh Elder, this ......" An elder deigned to personally deliver food to him who was under house arrest, which made Zhang Haotian very uneasy, no matter how he thought about it, this should not be the treatment that a junior like him deserves.

Zhang Haotian packed up the Four Spirit Chess in a panic, threw the chess back on the bed, and made room for the Seven Elders to put food.

The Seventh Elder smiled kindly and put the food on the table, not looking at Zhang Haotian with as disgust as the rest of the family.

"Don't be so flustered. The Seventh Elder sat in front of Zhang Haotian, "I'm not just here to bring you food. There are some things I want to tell you. ”

"Grandpa, what does he want to ask me?" As soon as he heard the conversation outside the door, Zhang Haotian thought that the family had sent someone over to ask him again.

"These days, the family doesn't have much time to worry about your business, so I came here to tell you something privately. ”

"What?" Zhang Haotian couldn't believe it, he remembered that there should be no intersection between him and the Seventh Elder.

"Do you hate Ah Shui now?" the Seventh Elder suddenly asked, and Zhang Haotian was not prepared at all.

"Old ......" Zhang Haotian almost subconsciously wanted to say the word teacher, but the twisted pain that suddenly rose in his chest restrained him, and the people sent by Zhang Yanyun to ask him would not ask him this kind of question, at this moment, he confided in the Seventh Elder for some reason, probably someone could listen to it.

"I don't understand...... Why did he want me to be his student, why did he treat me so well. Obviously he killed my mother, but he was so good to me and did so many things for me, I don't know if I should hate him. ”

"Ah Shui, he shouldn't be such a child, I know that very well. But on the day the Wang family was destroyed, I don't know what happened to Ah Shui, so I should ask him in person and hear the truth about everything that day from his mouth. The Seventh Elder proposed Zhang Haotian.

The words of the Seventh Elder surprised Zhang Haotian, and Zhang Haotian also wanted to go over and ask him, but he didn't have the courage to do so, but the Seventh Elder suddenly told him this, Zhang Haotian suddenly wanted to see him, and then ask about everything.

In the eyes of the Seventh Elder, Zhang Haotian was still so hesitant, and he said slowly: "Tomorrow is the day of the Demon Spirit Master's Spirit Glass Blood Sacrifice that the family will capture in the Heavenly Dao Sect. ”

This is the first time Zhang Haotian has heard the news, although Shi Lingli has not taught him, but she often comes to Zifeng's house to eat with them, they are still very familiar with each other, Teacher Lingli is really a demon spirit, when he saw the snow word hidden, Zhang Haotian guessed more or less.

"Sanshui will definitely come over tomorrow to save her, and the blood sacrifice of the family, you will definitely be brought to the altar, if you have the chance, you can ask him. The Seventh Elder got up and prepared to leave, he couldn't say too much, if his relationship with Sanshui was exposed, the family's punishment could be imagined.

Zhang Haotian suddenly got up and called out to the Seventh Elder who was about to leave: "Seventh Elder, wait. Why are you telling me this? You and the teacher ......."

"Well, it should be pretty much the same as you think. ”

"The Seventh Elder also thinks that the demon spirit is kind, is the family wrong?"

The Seventh Elder didn't expect Zhang Haotian to ask such a question, he was stunned for a moment, slowly turned his head to look at Zhang Haotian, looked at his eyes and smiled unconsciously, and shook his head gently: "I don't dare to betray the family's creed." ”

"Then why ......"
