The demon emperor doesn't want to be a white lotus

Chapter 44

Wu Bian and Lin Yan did not stay in Senqiu because of their sensitive identities, and led the troops back to Lianshan City after the crisis in Yuqi Mountain was resolved.

On the way, they received a message from You Miao.

After learning that the blood fiend formation turned out to be a plot by the Lord God of the Heaven Realm, both of them were very surprised, and at the same time accelerated their journey, wanting to return to Lianshan City as soon as possible.

Things were too different from what they thought. If all these incidents were provoked by the Lord God, then Lian Shancheng undoubtedly provoked people who should not be provoked.

Hurrying back, the two of them went straight to the dungeon as soon as they stepped into the City Lord's Mansion.

The prisoner in the dungeon was Shen Lue, the city lord of Shugeng City. Before they led the troops to Senqiu to support them, they had already persuaded Wu Lianshan to cooperate with them, set a trap, and locked him up during the dinner.

As for the soldiers and horses in Shugeng City, they are still restrained outside the city for various reasons.

Originally, they were planning to wait until the matter of Zhulong was resolved, and then slowly deal with those barrels that could be detonated at any time, but they didn't expect that there would be a bigger crisis behind it.

Right now, Shen Lue is a hot potato, he can't be killed or let go.

The dungeon of the City Lord's Mansion was heavily guarded, and after passing through layers of guards, the two finally came to the cell where Shen Lue was being held.

Facing the wall, Shen Lue didn't even turn his head. Just by hearing the footsteps, he knew who was coming, "Young City Master, General Lin, could it be that Shen's deadline has come, and you two are ready to see him off?"

Wu Bianrou: "City Lord Shen is just joking, you are in your prime, what is the limit? I even acted like this in the mountain city, but I just wanted to find a way out, so I had no choice but to temporarily ask City Lord Shen to stay here for a period of time, and wait for everything to happen. Now that the dust has settled, I will apologize and send you back to Shugeng City respectfully."

"There's no need to make an apology." Shen Lue was still wearing a white robe. Even though he was trapped in prison, he didn't receive any harsh treatment. Even the dungeon he lived in was clean and tidy. Except that he couldn't walk freely, he didn't look embarrassed at all.

He stood up leisurely, straightened his robes slowly, turned to look at Wu Bian and Lin Yan outside the cell, "However, the young city lord said that Shen agrees very much. Everyone just wants to find a way out. This is human. It's common sense, and others can't blame it."

Lin Yan did not hide his attitude at all, and sneered: "Since City Lord Shen has such awareness, why bother to use half of the people in Shugeng City as bargaining chips and send them to blood sacrifice for nothing?"

However, Shen Lue didn't seem to understand the meaning of Lin Yan's words, "General Lin's words are wrong. It is human nature to survive, but not everyone takes life so important."

"If you want to die yourself, can you drag innocent people to die together? Even if you are the lord of the city, you don't have this right!"

Lin Yan hated this kind of self-righteous person the most in his life, and even more hated someone who didn't take human life seriously.

"Lin Yan!" Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Wu Yanrou hurriedly stopped Lin Yan, not allowing him to continue talking, and finally calmed him down, when he heard a deep laughter coming from the cell.

The laughter was indescribable, it seemed to be disdain for Lin Yan's innocent words, and it seemed to be relieved by some things, Wu Bianrou's heart was agitated.

Shen Lue took two steps, getting closer to the two of them, "Don't you two understand? The current situation is no longer a battle between the three clans, but a choice between life and death. Everyone has a different position, Perhaps you are willing to endure the attack of monsters once every thousand years, linger in the sealing period that is exchanged for a few lives, recover your vitality, and then face the next disaster, but I am not willing."

As he said, the fingernail of his right hand lightly scratched his left wrist, and a strong smell of blood came out. The blood flowed down his fingertips to the ground, and it slowly converged into a thin stream, which flowed along the ground at an unknown time. The grooves that come out flow slowly.

"What are you doing?!" Wu Bianrou was shocked, and hurriedly ordered someone to open the cell door.

Shen Lue didn't want to be interrupted. He backed away slowly until his back touched the wall, and invisible fluctuations of spiritual power emanated from him. This final blow, like a sacrificial sacrifice, did not hurt anyone. It just prevents others from approaching.

Wu Bianrou watched helplessly as the ground under Shen Lue's feet was stained red with blood, but could not move forward. She looked at Shen Lue with complicated eyes, "Why are you doing this?"

Shen Lue's face paled visibly, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he smiled, "Naturally, he completed the task that he hadn't completed before." As soon as he finished speaking, blood shot up into the sky outside the dungeon.

Lin Yan's expression changed suddenly: "It's the Blood Fiend Formation!" After saying that, he ran out of the dungeon.

Before Wu Yanrou left, he took another look at Shen Lue. His white clothes were already stained with blood, and he looked particularly embarrassed.

"There are not only three eyes in the Blood Fiend Formation. Even without half of the people in Lianshan City, I, Shugeng City, can devote all my strength to complete this pioneering feat alone."

When Shen Lue spoke, the gloom in his eyes was replaced by madness, and Wu Yanrou felt chills all over his body, knowing that he had turned the whole Shugeng into a blood sacrifice, and after a long silence, he squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Crazy!" .”

Stepping out of the dungeon, Wu Bianrou could still hear Shen Lue's laughter. She turned around and felt that her sympathy just now was bullshit.

She ordered all the guards under the dungeon to withdraw, "Seal the door."

Here she will never set foot again.

After leaving the dungeon, I saw countless streaks of blood rising from the ground outside the city, converging into a dark red cloud over Lianshan City.

Wu Bianrou immediately understood that these were probably the soldiers from Shugeng City outside the city, maybe Shen Lue had given them an order before they came, and they would sacrifice blood together when they saw some signal.

And from Shen Lue's point of view, they didn't think there was anything wrong with the blood sacrifice. Instead, they felt that it was an unprecedented event, and their sacrifice was also for the safety of future generations.

Whether this kind of thinking is right or wrong, Wu Bianrou doesn't want to comment, because as far as what Shen Lue said, except for extremes, others can't criticize anything at all. In the end, it's everyone's choice.

She protected Wulian Mountain and climbed the city wall. The people of Lianshan City were all frightened by the scene in front of them. At this time, someone needed to come out to comfort them.

Lin Yan was also guarding on one side, but his eyes were facing the outside of the city, and his hands were involuntarily clenched.

The corpses of countless Shu Gengcheng soldiers were stacked together, densely packed the open space outside the city, looking shocking and desolate.

The range of the blood-colored cloud has been expanding, and even the people in the mountain city have not recovered from the movement just now, and they saw a strong noise erupting from the ancient land of Senqiu in the northwest.

In the Zongyu Clan's land, Xing Ji followed the clues to find the stone room under the Demon Emperor's Palace, but only found Bai Li's body that had been frozen through.Just as he stepped forward to check carefully, a figure flashed past, and the door of the stone room suddenly closed. At the same time, blood burst from under Bai Li, breaking through the confinement of the stone room and soaring into the sky.

The second formation eye of the Yaozu is in the Zongyu clan's territory, and the person responsible for activating it is Hong Yi, but the master of Zongyu obviously does not intend to die by himself, but chooses to sacrifice his friend.

The figure just now was obviously Hong Yi, Xing Ji pulled out the Jinzhao knife that he carried with him, and swung it with all his strength, the stone door shattered.

After chasing out of the stone chamber, he stopped Hong Yi who was about to escape outside the Demon Emperor's Palace.

"It's understandable for the human race and the god race to pay such a high price to complete the blood fiend formation, but I don't understand why you do this?"

The formation was aimed at all the monster clans in Senqiu, and Hong Yi had no reason to destroy his own clan land, and also wiped out all the clan members of Zong Yu's line by the way.

Hong Yi looked at Xing Ji with vigilant eyes. On the one hand, he was guarding against Xing Ji's sudden attack, and on the other hand, he was looking for openings and wanted to escape, "You won't understand."

Xing Jin stood with a knife in his hand, listening to the screams around him, he was not affected at all, "I really don't understand that a person like you is nothing more than greedy for life and fear of death, and in exchange for his own life, he even betrayed you. own people."

"Do you think I'm willing?!" Hong Yi seemed to be a completely different person, and his eyes turned red when he was poked in the pain, "It's that bastard in the upper heavens who backtracked, obviously as long as I agreed to cooperate with the outside world, Zong Yu would be let go." One line, let us become the only monster clan in the world. But as soon as something happened to the Xiaohu clan, he began to put pressure on me, threatening me with the betrayal of the monster clan, so that I could continue to help. No one knows when the eyes of the array will be buried in the Zongyu Clan's land!"

It's just that it's useless to regret it now. Since he chose to unite with the Protoss, he has already tied himself to a thief ship. He may have his own little calculation at the beginning, but it is just a chess piece in the hands of others.

And the fact is different from Xing Ji's conjecture, Bai Li was not killed by Hong Yi, Xing Ji came in not long after he entered the stone room.

It can only be said that the one in the upper heaven was too ruthless, almost squeezing out all the value of the chess pieces in his hand.

Seeing Xing Ji stunned, Hong Yi couldn't wait any longer, "The gods ignited another formation eye, and the blood demon formation will take shape. At that time, the entire Senqiu will be trapped in it, and all living things will be eroded and refined by the evil spirit of the dead." Even if you are a protoss, you will not be spared! I advise you, take advantage of the opportunity to leave now, run away quickly!"

What he said was sincere, or maybe he wanted to find a chance to escape by himself, and he always told Xing Ji the seriousness of the situation first, which made people afraid and gave way.

Holding the knife, Xing Ji wanted to kill Hongyi several times, but seeing the miserable situation of the Zongyu people, he felt that for him, being alive might be the greatest torment.

Survival is an instinct, but when the threat to life is lifted, looking back on the past, this kind of betrayal and the pain of being betrayed will be a hurdle in his heart that he will never get over.

"You go." Xing Ji put away the knife and said to Hong Yi.

Hong Yi was taken aback for a moment, seeing that Xing Ji didn't look like he was joking, then he turned his head to look at the Bloody Demon Emperor's Palace, stood quietly for a long while, then walked out of Senqiu with a flash.

Xing Ji didn't stay in the Zongyu clan's land, and the monster clan who were sacrificed by the blood couldn't be saved at all. They seemed to have a fuse buried in their bodies, and they all exploded once they were ignited.

At the foot of Yuqi Mountain, after discovering this sudden change, several demon emperors present started to evacuate the clansmen.

When Xing Ji arrived, You Miao was about to hand over the Xuan Snake lineage to Qing Tan's leadership, and took a shortcut to leave Senqiu.

Seeing people coming back, he showed his true emotions that he had never shown in front of others, hugged Xing Ji with a tired face, and hid all his complaints in his lover's chest, "There are still some women and children in the clan land, I have to Go back and save them."

During this period of time, too many things happened one after another. He was really tired, but for the sake of his clansmen, he had to cheer up and persevere.

Xing Ji hugged him back, feeling distressed, "I'll be with you."
