Lan Ruoqing said as she walked back to the console, turned off the entire machine, and opened the humanoid box so that Lan Zhu could walk out of it.
"Ruo Qing, you are destined to fail, give up! Follow me back to the royal city to apologize to Lord Demon King Fox! You have misunderstood Lord Xue Ye!" Prince Yuli still couldn't let go of his friendship with Lan Ruoqing. , and wanted to make one final struggle, trying to change her mind.
"No matter what the outcome is, this is my choice, and I have long been prepared to take any risks for my choice! There is no mutual agreement, Yuli, our friendship may end at this moment. Goodbye ,my old friend!"
Lan Ruoqing glanced back at Wanghou Yuli again, but in her eyes, he could no longer find any nostalgia, and could only smile bitterly as she watched her and Lan Zhu leave. He knew that no matter what he said, it would be meaningless. She and Lan Zhu had already made up their minds. It would be better to find a way to destroy this barrier after they left, so that they could return to the royal city to inform Demon King Fox and others.
But this barrier was much stronger than he thought. In order to destroy it, he made various attempts, but still couldn't break it. He didn't know how many days he had been in this basement, but he never gave up the idea of getting out of this place.
Before, the method he thought of was mainly to rely on his own demon power to destroy this barrier. After this method failed, he began to study whether the totem painted on the ground with a special spell could be removed, but unfortunately he failed again. Next, he finally thought that he might be able to use his own power to create another barrier within this barrier, and let this barrier collide with the one created by Mrs. Lan, and then cancel each other out.
After a loud noise, the cage that trapped him finally disappeared. He walked out of the basement. The whole company was lifeless. The lights that were on in the corridor before were all extinguished. He lit the demon fire and walked along the stairs to the first floor, where he felt the breath of other people.
Although the aura was not strong, he still found that the source of the aura was a room similar to a laboratory. In addition to many strange instruments in that room, there was also a round glass box that Wanghou Yuli had never seen before. Lan Zhu was lying in that glass box. He has always known that Lan Zhu has the ability to escape from the soul and parasitize spirits, so he may have entered that state now.
He guessed that they had captured the little boy, so he retreated from the room and left the building. When he returned to the demon world from the human world, he first thought of going to Chenji Palace to meet the Demon King Fox Ouyang Xiaoleng, but he happened to be away. After explaining to Ouyang Yong what kind of machines he had seen in the world and the true ambitions of Qingyun and Mrs. Lan and his son, he was told that Ouyang Xiaoleng was setting a trap in the world waiting to capture the parasitic spirit, and this parasitic spirit was probably Lan. The lady’s son Lanzhu.
"That's indeed him!" he told Ouyang Yong with great certainty.
"Oh, Blue Bamboo Fruit really has the ability to parasitize spirits?" Ouyang Yong asked after hearing this.
"Yes, he has shown superb soul separation and parasitic spirit abilities since he was very young. Later, he may have been developed by Qingyun. I know where his body is hidden."
"Wang Yue is looking for his true identity in the world!"
"Let me, a sin-stricken person, help him."
Prince Yu Li took the initiative to assist Wang Yue in going to the company where Mrs. Lan and her son lived, and handed Lan Zhu's true body to Ouyang Xiaoleng. He also promised that after the mission was completed, he would return to Chenji Palace to wait for due treatment, and he did so.
For many years, he has regarded Lan Ruoqing and her son as his relatives in this world. For them, he did not hesitate to violate his responsibilities as a prince of the demon world, made a deal with Qingyun, and built a secret passage in his mansion. It is this The secret passage eventually played an important role in Qingyun's plan to attack the royal city.
He became their accomplice. Over the long years, he could only breathe a little while watching Lan Zhu grow up and his body become stronger and stronger. How many times he woke up from nightmares, what lingered in his mind were the streets stained red with blood, and the souls of the dead.
They never seemed to leave, they were always there, asking him what he had done. Perhaps, only one death would be enough to free him. He was ashamed of his family and the honor bestowed upon his family by the Demon King Fox.
Thinking of this, he transformed into a long dagger and was about to pierce it into the left atrium, but was stopped by a figure who suddenly broke into the room.
The man knocked the dagger in his hand to the ground and asked, "Yu Li, what are you doing?!"
When he saw it, it was Lan Ruoqing who prevented him from committing suicide. With tears in her eyes, she begged: "Yu Li, I beg you to save Lan Zhu!"
"It's you?! How did you enter Chenji Palace?!" Prince Yuli was not focused on what she just said.
"Isn't there a secret passage in the palace? Lan Zhu and I used it to rescue you before."
"Oh? Where is the secret passage?" Wanghou Yuli asked immediately. That day, Mrs. Lan and her son were afraid that he would struggle to be rescued due to objections, so they directly knocked him out of Chenji Palace, so they were afraid of the secret passage. The Tao thing has no impression at all.
"Don't worry about it for now. They captured Lan Zhu in a design. They are really despicable. You are the only one who can save him." Mrs. Lan did not answer him.
"I caught him with my own hands. He made a mistake and deserves to be punished, and so do you. Even I have become a sinner." Prince Yuli shook his head and said.
"Why are you so stubborn?! Why can't you listen to me this time?! When Master Qingyun becomes the master of the three realms, it will not benefit you if you stand on the opposite side of him." Mrs. Lan's The choking stopped completely and my mood became excited.
"I'm afraid I can't wait for that day, so I don't need you to worry about me!"
"This is the last time I beg you. There will be no future." After Mrs. Lan finished speaking, she threw up her sleeves and left.
Prince Yuli followed her quietly. He wanted to see where the secret passage she mentioned was hidden in Chenji Palace. Chenji Palace has always been heavily guarded. It was really unimaginable for him that this secret passage could be built without anyone noticing and hidden for so many years.
Mrs. Lan moved very quickly and ducked into a courtyard. There was a small pond in the courtyard, and she plunged into the water. The snake's tail appeared, and with a few light twists it swam to the bottom of the pond. There was a small door that could be opened on the wall at the end of one side of the pond, and this door was the entrance to the secret passage.
Mrs. Lan's figure disappeared through the small door, and Prince Yuli also returned to the shore. His water quality was much worse than Mrs. Lan's. He had to hold his breath and hide his breath from her, so that he could Feeling tired for a while. He temporarily gave up his previous idea of escaping everything, and decided to tell Ouyang Xiaoleng and the others about this secret passage.
He knew that a big mistake had been made and that no matter what he did, he could not make up for it, but he also knew that Mrs. Lan and her son would continue to assist Qingyun in doing evil. Once their plan is realized, no one knows how many innocent people will die. Maybe he doesn't have the power to stop them, but at least he will do what he can.
Lan Zhu was brought back to Chenji Palace. Along the way, he imagined that his mother or Master Qingyun would suddenly appear and rescue him. Unfortunately, in order to escort him, Ouyang Hongye actually arranged for an elite unit of the royal army to wait at the end of the two long corridors. When he saw this formation, he knew that he could not escape.
Zhengu Forest Underground City.
Inside the cross-shaped building, Mrs. Lan was in a hurry. After her request for help from Prince Yuli failed, she rushed back to the underground city to see Qingyun. She did not dare to delay for a moment, but was stopped by the ghost slave guarding outside Qingyun's house.
"I must see Lord Qingyun right away!" She pushed the ghost slave away and said.
"Lord Qingyun is resting now." The ghost slave regained his footing, still blocking her way.
"I have something very important!" Mrs. Lan stared at the ghost slave, thinking that it was so courageous and that it was really a dog fighting against others.
"No matter what it is, you have to wait! What will happen if you disturb the rest of the adult inside? You should know it without me telling you."
Mrs. Lan couldn't bear it any longer. She raised her hand and knocked the ghost slave unconscious, then opened the door and walked into Qingyun's house. As expected, Qingyun was resting. The curtain beside the bed in the innermost part of the room was lowered, making it difficult for people to see clearly what was going on inside the curtain.
"My Lord!" She knelt down outside the curtain and said, "Please save my son Lanzhu, you have always loved him very much."
"Alas!" After waiting for a long time, a heavy sigh came from behind the curtain, and Qingyun responded coldly, "I have said before that since we have caught the little boy, he should be honest He stayed here, but he refused to listen, which resulted in the current result! Now, you want me to save him?! He has most likely given this place away, ruining our long-term plan."
"You know Lan Zhu was just careless... Besides, he is also worried that if the system developed by the boy's parents has a backup in the human world, it will compete with our system in the future." Mrs. Lan immediately explained.
"Careless?! Worried?! Pride is his biggest enemy! He has asked me for credit many times for catching that little boy for me, but no one has ever dared to be so bold to him. And now, I only have to abandon the pawn. The car is guaranteed." Qingyun's voice sounded completely awake.
"What do you mean?" Mrs. Lan clearly understood what her cold-blooded master meant, but she couldn't help but ask.
"Before he leads the Demon King Fox Boy to this place, instead of rescuing him, there is an easier way to shut him up, isn't it? This is also so that our plan can proceed as originally planned."
