Located deep in the harem, this torture chamber was only used as a cold palace during the time of the emperor, and at this time a vine called acacia vine was densely wrapped, and there was only one way to enter and exit.

The vines of this acacia vine are a parasitic plant that can be described as greedy.

This vine parasitizes all plants that can be parasitized, and when all the surrounding plants are drained of nutrients and die, the vines begin to parasitize each other.

As a result of parasitism, only one of the thickest vines remains, and when it loses its parasitic host, it will not take root in the soil and eventually die.

So the end result of this vine growth is to destroy all the parasitic plants around it, and then finally destroy itself... Unless someone deliberately provides it with parasitic trees.

This cold palace is obviously deliberately provided with a parasitic host for this kind of vine, so the picture is like the place where lonely souls and wild ghosts gather depicted in many storybooks, dead trees and vines are entangled together, and dozens of living vines are vibrant, and the purple-red skin seems to drip blood.

When the queen stepped into this cold palace, these vines seemed to come to life, trembling like joy.

The vines pierced the dormitory in the cold palace, the top of which was covered with dead vines and living vines, and the bottom was covered with dead leaves.

Unlike ordinary trees, which turn yellow with withered leaves, the leaves of this vine are dark red even when they are dry, which seems to indicate the bloody and cruel growth process.

Shen Xuan stood on top of the dark red dead leaves, his head lowered, listening to the familiar footsteps, but his face did not change at all, only his eyes were dyed dark red, exuding a certain demonic and fanatical luster.

"I don't fully believe what you said about the process of Gu Huai's death. ”

The queen's voice rang out, "Because I know Gu Huai, if he doesn't have the ability to defeat Zhan Maha, it is absolutely impossible for him to venture into the Ancestral Mountain." ”

The queen stayed at the door of this dormitory, her beautiful eyes looked at Shen Xuan with her head bowed without any personal emotion, waiting for his answer.

Her appearance seems to be more and more perfect, but it is precisely because she is more perfect that she is not like a person in the world at this moment, but like a god and Buddha.

Shen Xuan was rarely silent in front of her for a moment.

Then he said slowly: "What you said is indeed good, I do have something to hide, and I also made a move on Gu Huai." ”

"Why?"

The empress glanced at him and said, "You should understand what Gu Huai means to me and to the entire Great Qin Dynasty. ”

Her voice was calm and devoid of any emotion, not even much of a surprise.

However, even though this was what Shen Xuan expected, there was still some chill oozing from his body.

He didn't control his body's reactions, causing his body to tremble slightly with real fear.

"Because I'm selfish. ”

He took a deep breath, still hanging his head, and said, "I want to live, I want to return to Changling." ”

The queen looked up silently.

She saw that her eyelashes fluttered slightly.

Then she looked at the owner of the big floating prison with his head bowed and had lost an arm, and asked very simply: "Gu Huai is dead, why are you alive, why do you dare to go back to Changling?"

Shen Xuan was silent for another moment, then raised his head, met her gaze, and said, "In my opinion, Gu Huai is dead, and I may become more important in Changling... It's still my selfishness. You know, I don't want to spend my life in that dark prison. ”

The queen looked at him calmly and said, "More important, what do you want?"

Shen Xuan lowered his head and said, "Punishment order." ”

The Queen's beautiful eyelashes jumped again, even more rapidly.

Her perfect countenance was even slightly whiter, with a real anger and chill.

The Punishment Order, this is an official position that has never been in the Great Qin Dynasty, it is just that person's idea.

And after Yuanwu ascended the throne and she officially became the queen, not to mention that no one dared to mention it in front of her, in the entire Changling, no one in the court dared to mention that person, and dared to mention the idea that it was closely related to that person.

Shen Xuan didn't look up, but just took a deep breath and said, "I brought back the Continuation Heaven Divine Technique." ”

The queen fell silent.

As soon as she was silent, the air in the entire hall became even colder, and all the air was forced away by a ghostly cold air from the extremely high starry sky.

Shin Hyun held his breath.

He knew she was weighing and thinking, and all he could do was wait for the final life and death.

"Is that liquor boy really dead?" the queen was silent for a moment, but looked at him and asked this question.

Shen Xuan nodded with difficulty and said, "The Wu clan country can also prove it." ”

The queen looked at him and said, "But you still have to prove yourself... Even if you bring back the Continuation of Heaven Divine Formula, this is only a condition you use in exchange, and I still can't fully trust you. ”

Shen Xuan looked up at her and said seriously: "I understand, so as long as I can prove it, I won't resent you." ”

The queen nodded, satisfied.

Shen Xuan bowed, and then a pure natal aura appeared on his hand, and a dark red dead leaf floated up from the ground and landed in his hand, but it gradually glowed with a luster like red jade, becoming as heavy as jade, and the leaf surface began to be covered with many words and lines carved with his heart.

In the depths of the Queen's indifferent eyes, there was a fanatical color that could not be described in words.

This is the Continuation of Heaven Divine Recipe that everyone wanted to observe, but in the end they didn't get, and now, it's finally in her hands.

When the leaf, which had finally turned completely red into jade, fell into her hand, and she felt the breath rippling with the mysterious lines in it, her body trembled slightly, and she could be sure that this tome could not be fake.

She didn't say anything more and turned to leave.

"Lord Shen, I'm offended. ”

A yellow-robed cultivator walked out from among the vines and smiled at Shen Xuan.

He opened the box he had with him and opened it in front of Shen Xuan unscrupulously.

Then, almost roughly, he pierced a bottle of liquid medicine through a hollow steel needle directly into a vein on Shen Xuan's neck.

Shen Xuan let out a rapid muffled snort, and his feet slammed into the ground like hammers.

"Lord Shen, you taught me these methods. ”

"In the same way, I am here thanks to you. ”

"Lord Shen, you are still lucky compared to me, as long as you can survive it, as long as the words you spit out are the same as what you said to the queen mother before, there is still a great future waiting for you outside, so don't hold a grudge against me, my lord. ”

Seeing that Shen Xuan's face was distorted in pain, the yellow-robed cultivator laughed, and his facial features were almost distorted with laughter, full of cruelty and pleasure.

In the next moment, he didn't care about Shen Xuan's feelings at all, and a powerful natal aura also emanated from his body, and those huge vines hanging above suddenly surged like giant pythons, falling down, binding Shen Xuan tightly and hanging up.

More than a dozen steel needles continued to pierce into the depths of Shen Xuan's body, and the different medicinal powers that poured into them made Shen Xuan's body twist and even begin to tear.

This yellow-robed cultivator didn't even have any extra movements, just because of his violent writhing, Shen Xuan's flesh and blood were already blurred, and he could no longer see his human form.

This is the most secret place to extract confessions.

There are too many amazing secrets here, so the yellow-robed cultivator who was arranged here can only be trapped here for the rest of his life, and he will never be able to get out of this cold palace alive.

He is Shin Xuan's subordinate.

However, since he lives here, he can't get out of this cold palace, and he will never be able to contact the outside world again, so he naturally doesn't need to take care of Shen Xuan anymore.

But what he didn't expect was that Shen Xuan really didn't have any hatred for him at this time.

Because for many years in the past, Shen Xuan has been waiting for such an opportunity, an opportunity to prove himself like this.

He spent a lot of time practicing... Make yourself able to withstand such torture and say what you want to say.

At this time, although he was suffering from unimaginable pain, his mind always maintained a trace of clarity, and no one would see that there was even a trace of a sneering smile on his bloody face at this time.

"What exactly do you want?"

The queen's voice still seemed to be echoing in this cold palace.

"Your Majesty... I've been working for you for so long, haven't you ever thought about it, or never thought about it, that I don't deserve to think about what I want?"

"Why do some people know what I want?"

"That's the difference between you and others. ”

"Now, you're going to use this means to make me prove... What proves is that in your eyes, I am always just a dispensable dog, no different from those yellow-robed people. ”

Shen Xuan smiled sarcastically.
