"Uquan!!"
Young Shen Qingzhu was trapped in the East Emperor Bell, his eyes were red. Although he didn't know what was happening outside, Wu Quan was alone in the backward time, and he was afraid that it would be wiped out in a few seconds, not to mention there were still people outside. A [Key to the Door]!
He tried his best to lift the Donghuang Bell, but the latter was as motionless as a mountain... He took a deep breath, and a flash of determination flashed in his eyes.
He touched under the broad cloak, and a coat of arms fell into his palm. With his current ordinary body, he directly used the "Ghost and God Guide" to forcefully awaken the Forbidden Ruins, and maybe it was possible to open the East Emperor Bell!
No matter what, he couldn't let the child face the [Key to the Door] alone!
Just when he was about to pierce the "Ghost Guide" into his body, the giant bronze bell that enveloped him buzzed, and then was forcibly lifted!
Light came from the outside world, causing Shen Qingzhu to squint subconsciously as he adapted to the darkness. A figure in black robes was standing calmly outside the Donghuang Bell, lifting the giant bell with one hand.
Shen Qingzhu's narrowed eyes could not clearly see the backlit eyes. The young man did not hesitate to pick up the straight knife beside him and rushed towards the black-robed figure!
The black-robed figure stood calmly on the spot, with no intention of evading.
The straight knife stopped in front of his neck.
"Who...are you?!" Shen Qingzhu roared.
"What do you think?" The black-robed figure glanced at the blade that was close at hand, "Put the knife down. An attack of this level cannot kill me."
Shen Qingzhu looked at those gray eyes and was silent for a long time before slowly uttering three words:
"An Qingyu?"
Under the black robe, the tired face did not deny, but he also did not answer directly.
His eyes were looking in a certain direction, and Shen Qingzhu frowned, as if he remembered something, and turned around to look, his eyes slightly shrinking.
Next to the Donghuang Bell, a pool of scarlet blood soaked the ground.
"Uquan!!"
Shen Qingzhu's body trembled, and he ran in that direction like crazy. His footsteps trampled on a few drops of blood, and he picked up the lifeless figure lying in the blood.
However, that figure had long since stopped breathing... On the young face, a pale smile hung at the corner of the mouth, as if relieved, as if satisfied.
"Wuquan..." Shen Qingzhu hugged the cold body, his pupils trembling constantly,
He looked along the bloody color and saw a simple sketch painted with blood in the corner of the East Emperor Bell. It was crooked... and immature, like a child's work.
It was a bloody umbrella.
Shen Qingzhu stayed in place like a sculpture.
The wide crimson cloak fluttered in the wind,
On the young man's face, the guilt and sadness seemed to be crushed into tears and buried in the wind.
"I shouldn't have brought him here..." Shen Qingzhu said hoarsely, "... I killed him."
"This is his own dream, and it is also his destination." A figure in black came slowly, "From the bad boy who no one cares about in the orphanage, to the hero of Great Xia who rang the Donghuang Bell... It's you It made him.”
"No, I didn't create him... He created me!" Shen Qingzhu's eyes showed pain, "Without him, after the fire... I, Shen Qingzhu, would no longer be in the world."
Hearing these words, An Qingyu narrowed his eyes slightly.
"So... you already knew?"
Shen Qingzhu remained silent.
He sat in the pool of blood like a statue for a long time, and then slowly and carefully put down the cold body. The crimson cloak was soaked in blood...
He turned around and stared at An Qingyu with his bloodshot eyes.
"You... better give me an explanation."
"Sorry, I can't." Under the black robe, An Qingyu closed his eyes, "Everything I do and say now will be heard by Him... Although some things have been exposed, there is something more important. Things are not done."
Shen Qingzhu paused for a moment.
"Then let me ask another question... Have you ever betrayed us?"
There was a ripple in An Qingyu's silent gray eyes. He was like a load-bearer standing in the dark and walking alone, with his head lowered and silent for a long time...
"No."
Hearing these words, the solemnity and haze in Shen Qingzhu's eyes suddenly dissipated...
He sighed and said with a wry smile,
"If Lin Qiye could hear this answer... he would be very happy."
An Qingyu raised his head, staring into the depths of the sky with his gray eyes, "The East Emperor Bell has rung... He will be back soon."
"By the way, where is the [Key to the Door]?"
"I borrowed the power of the Third Covenant to temporarily suppress him... but I can't hold on for long."
"The third covenant?" Shen Qingzhu frowned slightly, and then seemed to think of something, "'Returning from the past'? You are also a part of the 'Old past'... So, you have already reached this point??"
"[The Key of the Door] wants to use my body to descend into this time and space, and I am also assimilating his power... He can know everything, and so can I."
"In that case, why don't you just kill Him?"
"The [Key to the Door] is unkillable. He always stands on the long river of time. Even if you wipe out my body, he can immediately create a new 'me' in the past... But also, as long as I don't die, Part of His authority will always be with me, and there is no way to create another 'I' to replace the current 'I'...
In short, it's not that easy to kill [Key to the Door]... I can't do it alone. "
Listening to this very convoluted explanation, Shen Qingzhu seemed unable to understand it for a moment. He did not intend to ask more questions, but just nodded calmly,
"So, do you need my help?"
"… need."
"How to help?"
An Qingyu stared at the young Shen Qingzhu, slowly raised his palm, a cloud of gray mist floated behind him, and then, the huge Gate of Truth was outlined out of thin air!
An Qingyu in black robe stood in front of the door that towered over the sky, as if he was the master of everything, and an ancient sense of oppression radiated out!
There was a hint of complexity in his eyes,
"Do you believe me?"
"I believe it." Shen Qingzhu replied without hesitation.
"Okay." An Qingyu nodded slightly, "Now, I'm going to kill you."
Hearing this answer, Shen Qingzhu was stunned for a moment. Then, he seemed to remember something, and a gleam suddenly flashed in his eyes.
"Like, how you killed Cao Yuan?"
"Um."
Shen Qingzhu glanced at the Gate of Truth standing in the mist. After a moment, the corners of his mouth slightly raised... He opened his arms, and his broad crimson cloak gradually disappeared into the surging gray mist!
"Okay." Shen Qingzhu closed his eyes and replied calmly,
"My life is in your hands... Vice Captain."
