CHAPTER XXIII

Walking through the monsters coming and going, Zhang Lie walked into the interior of the shrine. Two scythes stood guard at the entrance to the backyard, looking at the youkai with a wary expression.

Knowing that this kind of monster is very sensitive to the wind, taking advantage of its unpreparedness, Zhang Lie pinched two fingers and popped a wind ball to the ground, and in an instant, a thin whirlwind soared straight up. The two sickles almost instinctively turned their heads over, and Zhang Lie was already stepping towards the shadow in a beam pillar at the same time, and he passed over the two demons unconsciously.

A wooden cloister circles the small courtyard, with two Japanese-style rooms in the south, east, and west, and the paper doors painted with ukiyo-e are closed, making it seem very empty. At the same time as he walked into the corridor, Zhang Lie already felt the familiar demonic aura faintly emanating from the room and room.

Knowing his ability, Zhang Lie didn't dare to get too close. After thinking about it, he lightly jumped into the courtyard, and at the same time he landed and used a "shadow hiding" method, and the person quietly dived into the shadow of the courtyard stone as if it were melting.

Exposing his head and half of his shoulders, Zhang Lie cautiously looked left and right, to make sure that there were no other monsters, he raised his right hand and blew it into his palm, and then a gentle breeze had been sent by him to the Japanese room.

At the same time as the breeze took off his palm, Zhang Lie had already taken a deep breath and integrated part of his divine consciousness into it, drifting away with the wind. Although he could hear the situation in the room by doing so, the danger was also obvious. Once discovered by the other party, this part of the divine consciousness will immediately be directly attacked, which will be extremely harmful to Zhang Lie's mind.

The breeze arrived slowly, silently fluttering on the paper door and then dispersed. And with this moment, Zhang Lie's divine consciousness had been attached to the paper door, and the conversation inside immediately faintly entered his ears.

"You must have heard about what is happening in China these days, right?" At this time, I only heard Thorn Wound say.

"Of course, even the youkai here are talking." It was Jude who spoke.

"And how did you think of my suggestion?" Thorny tract.

There was silence for a moment before Jude said, "If you can form an alliance with Mr. Annihilation, it will naturally be very good..."

The speaker had no intention, but Zhang Lie was shocked into a cold sweat, he didn't expect that Thorn Wound would make this suggestion to Jude. If Jude and Demon were really together, it would never be good news for him. Although the current Annihilation of Meng is in the limelight, it is within his expectations, and he is sure that it will not be long before the major magic sects will intervene, and when the two sides quarrel, Annihilation will become his shield, so that he can calmly carry out his plan.

But if Jude is allowed to intervene, it will add unpredictable variables. Let's not talk about anything else, with the shrewdness of destroying Meng, once this "ally" is swallowed in turn, the consequences will never be seen by Zhang Lieken.

Thorn Wound wondered, "Is there any more questions?" ”

Jude said: "But this time I went to China because I had already made an appointment with the Fox Demon Clan, if I rashly made an agreement with Mr. Annihilation, I am afraid it will be difficult to explain to them..."

Snorted, Thorn Wound said proudly: "Fox Demon Clan? It's just a bunch of hidden waste, and sooner or later they will be in the pocket of our boss, so why should you worry. ”

Jude is naturally not a fool, how can he be confused by his words. Haha, he said sophisticatedly: "If this is the case, it is naturally the best, then I will definitely agree to your suggestion at that time." ”

After a moment of silence, Thorn Wound immediately laughed: "Very good, we will talk about this matter in the future, I believe that after arriving in China, you will not hesitate again..."

At that moment, there was an abrupt pause. Zhang Lie was shocked in his heart, and without thinking much about it, he immediately withdrew his senses, and his body dipped into the shadows, and the next moment he had emerged from the shadow of the pillars of the corridor behind him.

At the same time, with a sound of lightness, large hair-thin vines spread out from the cracks in the paper door, densely crawling all over the door, and extending into the courtyard.

The paper door slammed open, and Thorn appeared in the doorway, scanning the courtyard with a burning face full of vigilance. Jude's voice came from within, "What's wrong?" ”

After looking at it for a moment, Thorn shook his head: "No, it's just an illusion..."

It wasn't until the paper door closed again, hiding under the pillar, and Zhang Lie, who was desperately trying to hide his demonic aura, breathed a sigh of relief. Rising to his feet, he silently sneaked down the cloister towards the basement where Blatter was being held.

Although he only listened to a few words, Zhang Lie had noticed a lot of things. In addition to the possible alliance between Jude and Annihilation, the fox demon clan actually has people in contact with the Demon Banquet. This matter cannot be ignored, if the Demon Banquet and the Fox Demon Clan are really connected, it will be a huge obstacle to his plans in China.

Thinking about how to inform Miasma as soon as possible and let him find out about the matter, Zhang Lie had already entered the side hall.

Easily found the entrance, using Zoro to silently swallow the enchantment, Zhang Lie smoothly descended to the bottom. This is a rather old basement, with old brick walls on all sides, and the lights are blind, but with his natural night eye, Zhang Lie can see the coffin resting in the corner at a glance.

Maybe it's because he's confident in the secrecy of his hiding place, and there isn't a single guard here, so I'm so lucky tonight? Zhang Lie walked over cautiously.

Just as he was about to open the lid of the coffin, Zhang Lie suddenly heard a very strange sound. It was as if something was seeping water, and it was rushing and dense, and he immediately surprised him by what he saw.

I saw that from the wall on the left, crystal water droplets were seeping out of the cracks in the masonry little by little, slowly forming a puddle on the ground. As the water droplets increased, a cold aura familiar to Zhang Lie gradually enveloped the entire basement, and the slightest frost continued to invade the walls and floor.

"I knew I wasn't so lucky..."In an instant, Zhang Lie already knew who he had met.

When the last droplet falls into the ground, it bounces and splashes. In an instant, a column of water slowly rises from the center of the ripple, and as the water column continues to rise, its surface gradually condenses and takes shape.

Black hair, delicate skin like snow, a white kimono dotted with a blood-spattered plum, petite body, white cotton socks, sandals that are not stained with dust...

Just like the stunt shots in the movie, the beautiful Jing Yiyao slowly emerged from the stagnant water. When the last drop of water was also absorbed by her body, she closed her eyes and lowered her head, and slowly opened her eyes.

And at the same time as she appeared, the entire basement was covered with a layer of cold hoarfrost like an ice warehouse, and Jing Yiyao, whose skin was like snow, seemed to be completely integrated into this white, only the blood of the plum on the kimono was as dazzling.

Directly peeking through the disguise of Zhang Lie's possession, a trace of surprise flashed on her cold face: "Zhang Lie? ”

"It's such a coincidence, you won't be here to save Blatter, right?" Zhang Lie casually dusted off a little frost on his shoulder.

Zhan Yan smiled, Jing Yiyao at this moment is like all 13 or 4-year-old girls, her face is full of innocence and delicateness, if according to popular sayings, only one word is enough to describe it.

However, only Zhang Lie, who is familiar with her character, can see through the coldness in her beautiful eyes.

The next moment, almost unanimous, the two shot at the same time.

Two huge ice edges suddenly appeared in the air, piercing straight into the coffin in the corner; At the same time, a winged fluttering and flame-condensed Vermilion Bird also appeared at the top of the secret room, swooping towards Jing Yiyao with a scorching fierceness...
