Judge Bei said with a half-smile, "Shi Bucong, your attitude determines everything. I have to remind you that you'd better not fight to the death. You have a peach blossom poison in your body. If you die, Nan Gongling will surely die too."
Monk Shi suddenly straightened his back, looked straight at Judge Bei and said, "I can't tell you any great truths. What I want to tell you is that there are some things you will never understand!"
"Oh no, the monk is going to fight!" I stood up from the top of the city wall, "Monk, stop it!"
Ye Jin and I jumped down from the top of the city wall, but we were still a step too late. The monk Shi, who had lost control, didn't hear my shouts at all. As I fell down from the city wall, I saw the monk pull out three steel needles from his body and pierce his chest at the same time. With the blood-stained steel needles hanging on his body, he pushed Nangong Ling back and said, "Go quickly!"
"Brother Shi—" Nangong Ling screamed and was pushed a few steps away by the monk, and fell to the ground. The monk himself waved a copper stick and rushed towards the masters of Hell Gate.
“Kill him!” Judge Bei shouted angrily, and more than a dozen top masters drew their swords and rushed in at the same time.
"Stop!" Ye Jin and I rushed in roaring.
"Stop!" The voice of the Seventh Shui Lan suddenly exploded above the heads of the Hell Gate masters like thunder, and the Hell Gate warlocks who were originally swinging their swords forward stopped at the same time.
Seventh Shuilan appeared in front of us, raising his hand and slapping Judge Bei in the face. Judge Bei staggered after being hit by Seventh Shuilan, and finally stopped.
The Seventh Shuilan didn't even look at him, turned around, walked past the Hell Gate Warlocks one by one, and gave each of them a loud slap. The masters of the Hell Gate didn't even dare to look at the Seventh Shuilan, and all stood aside with their heads down.
The seventh Shuilan roared, "You clearly knew that I was in the ghost area, but you still wanted to bombard it. Aren't you very brave? Whose idea was this?"
"This is... that is..." Judge Bei's lips trembled and he couldn't utter a complete sentence.
The seventh Shui Lan said coldly: "All of you, get out of here and wait for your punishment."
At this time, Ye Jin and I had already rushed to Shi Heshang's side and helped him sit down. When Shi Heshang saw me, he smiled and said, "It's great that you are out..."
Monk Shi fell to the ground before he could finish his words, and the three steel needles on his chest burst into blood...
"Brother Shi, wake up, wake up..." Nangong Ling threw herself on Monk Shi and burst into tears, "Brother Shi, wake up! I won't force you anymore, I won't force you anymore, wake up..."
"Get lost!" Ye Jin raised his hand and slapped Nangong Ling away, "Don't touch the monk, get away from me!"
I could feel the monk's vitality was fading away quickly. The secret method he had found from somewhere to suppress the peach blossom poison was not reliable. Not only did it fail to suppress the peach blossom poison, but it also put himself in a deadly situation.
I felt extremely regretful. If I had stood up earlier and stopped the monk from making a choice, at least he would not have been seriously injured and dying.
The seventh Shuilan walked over to me and squatted down. He raised his hand to seal the monk's acupuncture points, pulled out the steel needles one by one, and pointed back at one of the Hell Gate Warlocks: "Come here."
The other party shuddered: "Ghost King! I..."
Judge Bei said tremblingly: "Ghost King, he is a brother of Hell Gate after all. You are not going to sacrifice your brother for an outsider and use the secret method of prolonging life, right?"
The seventh Shuilan said in a slightly cold voice: "He is the commander of the artillery formation. If he doesn't want to take the responsibility of preparing to bombard the Ghost King, then you should do it. Also, if it weren't for Shi Bucong delaying time, your shells would have landed on my head long ago. He has the merit of saving me from danger. In exchange for a few years of your life span, who has any objection?"
Judge Bei gritted his teeth and stepped aside. He obviously saw that Seventh Shuilan was going to make an example of him and did not dare to offend Seventh Shuilan.
The seventh Shuilan pointed at the warlock again and said coldly: "You, come here!"
The other party slowly walked over: "Please show mercy, Ghost King..."
"Kneel down!" Seventh Shuilan forced the other person to kneel on the ground without any explanation. "You guys protect me! No one is allowed to disturb me, and no one is allowed to peek."
The Hell Gate's subordinates immediately formed a human wall to block all three of them behind. Seventh Shuilan set up a formation behind the human wall. Ye Jin and I couldn't see what was going on inside, so we were anxious and running around.
Nangong Ling burst into tears at the side. Ye Jin said irritably, "You're crying, you still have the nerve to cry? If it weren't for you, would the monk be in such a state?"
"Old Ye, stop talking!" I waved my hands and said, "We are all wrong in this matter. If anything happens to the monk, I will fight to the death with the Hell Gate!"
Judge Bei looked over coldly and said, "What qualifications do you have to fight to the death with Hell's Gate?"
When I looked towards Judge Bei with my hand on the hilt, Seventh Shuilan suddenly said in a cold voice: "If your head can calm the anger of Jiuchong Pavilion, I will send you your head immediately."
“Ghost King…” Judge Bei was so frightened that he turned pale and took several steps back.
The seventh Shui Lan said coldly: "From now on, the people of Hell Gate are not allowed to be enemies with Wu Zhao, otherwise, they will be severely punished."
The Seventh Shui Lan turned to me and said, "Wu Zhao, from now on, the Blood Demon Eye in your hand is my token. If you see the Blood Demon Eye in person, you can kill it if it is below the Ghost King of Hell Gate."
Seventh Shui Lan's words made me feel puzzled. She suddenly gave me such a great favor that I almost felt like I was in a dream.
I quickly responded: "How is the monk?"
"He's fine."
When I looked in the direction of the seventh water-blue finger, although Monk Shi had not yet woken up, his face had become rosy, his breathing was even, and his injuries had stabilized.
The seventh Shui Lan turned around and said, "Move all the artillery to the top of the city wall."
I exclaimed, "What are you going to do?"
"Come with me." Seventh Shuilan led me to the top of the city wall. "The ghost realm is now exposed to the sun. If you don't want people to disturb Xue Ling'er, you have to help her set up the illusion array again. When the illusion array is set up again, you may not even be able to enter. Are you willing to leave the ghost realm?"
I nodded and said, "It's just a secret burial. What's there to be reluctant about? Go ahead!"
The seventh Shuilan pointed to the distance and said, "Zhan Wuxiang is a scholar with profound attainments in Feng Shui. Half of the ghost realm illusion array comes from the Heavenly Dao Jade and half from Feng Shui. Now that the jade is destroyed, the only thing we can do is Feng Shui. In a while, I will have people use artillery to blow up the two stone walls over there, and the illusion array will be activated again. However, the ghost realm will also become a dead array that can be exited but not entered. What do you think?"
I nodded and said, "Let's do it!"
As the seventh Shui Lan waved his hand, thousands of cannons from the Hell Gate roared. The mountain wall in the distance collapsed in the smoke and fire, and the ghost city disappeared from our sight again.
Xiao Baitang took my hand and gently leaned on my shoulder: "Finally, no one disturbs them."
Seventh Shuilan looked at the disappearing ghostland and said: "The most boring people in the world are probably those who are infatuated. Not only do they cause trouble for themselves, but they also bring endless trouble to others."
Ye Jin said with a smile: "Then why would you help a lovesick person?"
"Because I'm extremely bored!" The seventh Shui Lan's answer left Ye Jin speechless.
I looked at the Seventh Shuilan and said, "You gave me the Blood Demon Eye because you were bored?"
The seventh Shui Lan said in a voice that only the few of us could hear: "Some things are not yet the right time to tell you. Your mission now is to stay alive. If you don't end up like Zhan Qing in the future, it won't be too late for me to tell you later."
I wanted to ask something else, but Qi Qi Shui Lan had already turned and walked away: "Xiao Tang can't go back to Hell Gate. If she goes back now, she will die. Her stunning sword eyes are a calamity rather than a blessing for her, so let her stay with you! If you don't want to take her in, send her away, the farther the better. See you later!"
Seventh, Shuilan left without any hesitation, but I had a headache. Xiao Baitang beside me was like a little girl who was afraid of being abandoned. She grabbed the corner of my clothes tightly and said, "Brother Wu Zhao, can you take me in?"
I couldn't help but sigh: "Stay!"
According to calculations outside, the trajectory of my destiny in entering the Jade Disk of Heaven was just a few minutes, but for me it was three real lives, each life lasting several years, and Xiao Baitang and I have been together for more than sixty years in these three lives.
The past life is gone, and we meet again in this life. If you don't know your past life, it's fine. But when you see all your past lives, who can remain indifferent
But why should this life be so similar to the previous one
Just when I was wondering what to do, Dou Ma and Lu Xiaoying had already rushed up to the castle with a large number of Nine-Layered Pavilion masters. Dou Ma looked exhausted, while Lu Xiaoying was covered in blood, looking like he had just been through a tough battle.
I instinctively asked, "Xiaoying, are you okay?"
Lu Xiaoying, who had been smiling, saw Xiao Baitang pulling me, and his face suddenly darkened: "I'm fine."
I was confused by Lu Xiaoying, but Dou Ma said, "Xiaoying sent us a message and found out that Hell Gate secretly mobilized a large number of experts to besiege the castle, so we rushed all the way here. Who would have thought that after we came up, they all withdrew. What happened on your side?"
I roughly told her what happened, and Dou Ma couldn't help but sigh, "I really shouldn't have agreed to let them come up early. The monk said he would come up to wait for you, so I asked him to bring Xiaoying and Lingling here first. After Xiaoying figured out that you were in danger, she asked us for help, but ended up being ambushed by the Hell Gate. If she hadn't risked her life to fight her way out, we would be here now..."
I looked at Lu Xiaoying in shock, only to find that she had her hands behind her back, and her exposed arms were still trembling slightly. Was she overusing her Heaven-Defying Hand again
"Xiaoying, what's wrong with your hand?" I wanted to see Lu Xiaoying's palm, but she dodged to the side and said, "It's okay. My hand is fine."
