Yazi, Suanni, and Baxia approached slowly. Mrs. Guoguo sneered, and stretched out a hand from the bottom of her sleeve to stop the three monsters. With a casual swing, the iron chains on the ground flew up automatically, bound Hongjun, and dragged him upright, who was unconscious, leaning against his back. The wall of the cave hit it.
Hong Jun groaned in pain, slowly slid down and sat down, with his head down, his consciousness was blurred, and his eyes were full of double images.
"There is one more." Mrs. Guo Guo said softly, "The Exorcist Division wiped out the entire army. Until now, you still have the hope that your companions will come to rescue you?"
Li Jinglong's uniform of a military officer has been torn, and his shoulders and back are covered with scars bitten by sharp teeth. The purple-black blood soaked the military robe, and when he raised his eyes again, the pupils almost burst into flames.
"Let's talk about the terms!" Li Jinglong said in a deep voice.
"Conditions? Wake up." Mrs. Guo Guo laughed instead, and said, "Do you know why I didn't attack you until today?"
Li Jinglong didn't answer, but looked anxiously at Hong Jun behind Mrs. Guo Guo. Hong Jun slowly raised his head, feeling extremely weak all over his body, as if he was falling apart.
"Because you don't pose any threat to me at all." Mrs. Guo Guo whispered, "Li Jinglong, as a mortal, if you don't meddle in your own business, you might be able to die in peace."
"You... are... the demon... the demon king?" Hong Jun said intermittently.
Mrs. Guo Guo turned around, looked at Hong Jun, and said casually: "Yes."
"Fox demons... are all your subordinates." Hong Jun said painfully.
"Speaking of this." Mrs. Guo Guo turned and walked towards the sea of blood, and whispered, "When you burned my people to death, were you ready to die today?"
"Yes." Hong Jun knelt in the corner, raised his head, looked at Mrs. Guo Guo, and said in a low voice, "Do you want to know why? Come here, and I'll tell you."
Mrs. Guo Guo's expression changed instantly, she frowned deeply, stared at Hong Jun, and walked slowly towards him.
"I ordered them to be killed." Li Jinglong said suddenly, "It has nothing to do with Hong Jun!"
After finishing speaking, Li Jinglong saw that Hong Jun wanted to release all his spiritual power to sneak attack Mrs. Guo Guo, but this would not work, so he slowly shook his head at him, trying to dissuade him.
"Why did you do this?" Hong Jun frowned and said, "Be your demon king well, isn't it good? Why kill people?"
When Mrs. Guo Guo heard this, she laughed and said in a low voice, "Why are you so naive?"
When Hong Jun looked at Mrs. Guo Guo, there was a trace of pity in his eyes.
"You like Chang'an, and I like it too." Hong Jun said with sore eyes, "But if you don't do this, you won't be able to live?"
There was a look of surprise in Mrs. Guo Guo's eyes. There are so many people in the world, but only Hong Jun would ask such a question.
"Then you have to ask Di Renjie." At this moment, her expression was full of viciousness, "He was the one who attacked the demon clan first and drove them all to death!"
"A fox is the most human-like monster." Hong Jun said in a low voice, "You have endured the torment of being a monster, but you have also tasted all the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys of humans."
"That's right." Mrs. Guo Guo said almost indifferently, "I now find that everything is caused by this illusory relationship. If it wasn't for Jin Yun falling in love with that kid, he was reluctant to throw away the body and wanted to hide it under the bed. He will be buried in peace, and he will not suffer such an end."
Hearing that Li Jinglong was shocked!
The cat that escaped from Mrs. Qin's mansion, hid in Jinyun's room, and found the mummy under the bed...
"You have been to Pingkangli! You have seen Jin Yun!" Li Jinglong's voice trembled slightly, "The cat must have seen your fox face before leading us there!"
Mrs. Guo Guo sighed: "I didn't expect that after arguing with Jin Yun for a long time, it turned out to be a cat. What else do you want to know before you die? Ask, I will let you ask enough, anyway, today You're all going to die."
Li Jinglong raised his head, looked at Mrs. Guo Guo, and said, "What's in the blood pool?"
Mrs. Guo Guo said softly: "That's the blood, I collected it, the blood essence of all people. The fox clan devoured their souls, and then they have the power to transform into humans; and the blood essence sucked will be fed here, Injected into the blood pool. After the imperial examination, I have been thinking about how to attract you here... "
"...After all, this is the most useful thing I have. My other child—" she turned to look at the blood pool, said, "If you want to fill this blood pool, you need blood. And you will never let it go Any clues…”
"That's a teleportation circle using blood as the medium." Hong Jun panted, and looked at the blood pool in the center of the cave. The huge blood pool was constantly churning, and the teleportation circle above the blood pool shimmered.
"That's right." Mrs. Guo Guo spit out two words softly, "You smart people always feel that you can find out my whereabouts and my arrangements by following the vines, but why are you stepping into a trap step by step? Otherwise, you think Would Yazi be so stupid as to drop a scale in the place where the blood was drawn?"
Hongjun: "..."
"Cleverness is misunderstood by cleverness." Mrs. Guo Guo smiled again, "But this blood pool is not easy to see. It was refined with the power of the fox clan and the blood of mortals. I spent a lot of money to refine it. It took ten years of hard work to raise it to where it is today, and every drop of blood in the process gave it the power to become a human." Mrs. Guo Guo said lightly with a smile on the corner of her mouth.
"But why did it become me?" Hong Jun still can't believe it, the moment he saw himself in the pool of blood.
"It's thanks to Li Changshi's sword." Mrs. Guo Guo smiled, "He delivered it to the door yesterday, do you like it?"
Hong Jun suddenly remembered that when he met Li Jinglong in the Exorcism Department, he fought hard with Li Jinglong and his finger was scratched.
"Now, just add the blood of the last mortal..." Mrs. Guo Guo said softly, "Everything will be done, but unfortunately you can't see it anymore."
"Who do you want it to be?" Li Jinglong felt a chill behind his back.
"Impossible!" Hong Jun raised his voice, "You can't touch the Son of Heaven, he has Ziwei Xing's body protection!"
"Yes." Mrs. Guo Guo said, "but I can put him under house arrest and replace him with an identical emperor, who would find out? Except my stupid mortal sister, right?"
Li Jinglong couldn't help panting.
"Are you finished with the question?" Mrs. Guo Guo said softly, "If you don't have anything to say, I will start."
Li Jinglong's thoughts turned and he was about to delay time, but Mrs. Guo Guo said: "Delay is useless, Li Changshi, this is a void world created by me with magic, even if you escape from the cage, without my access spell , and will never be able to leave this pool of blood."
After finishing speaking, she walked towards Hong Jun slowly, and Li Jinglong gasped.
"What do you want to do?" Hong Jun trembled.
"Pull your tendons and peel your skin." Mrs. Guo Guo said politely, "I'll put you to death in front of Li Changshi. First cut your scalp and slowly peel off your beautiful face. Let your blood dry, eat your soul in the end, become you, Ling Chi your boss, your colleagues, how about this?"
Hongjun: "..."
Li Jinglong: "..."
For a moment, only a few people were panting in the cave, Mrs. Guo Guo raised her hand, causing Hong Jun's body to rise up. He ordered: "I haven't seen your magic weapon yet, let me see, your throwing knife seems to be very powerful. Baxia, bring his magic weapon here."
Baxia turned into a human being, offering Hongjun's magic weapon with both hands.
"Do you want to use this flying knife, or..." Mrs. Guo Guo glanced unintentionally, and when she caught a glimpse of the jasper peacock feathers, she couldn't hide her expression.
"You..." When Mrs. Guo Guo looked at Hongjun again, she showed an expression of disbelief, and said in a trembling voice, "Where did this magic weapon come from? You are... no, you shouldn't, you are from Yaojin Palace?!"
Hong Jun stared at Mrs. Guo Guo without blinking his eyes.
"You just need to touch me." Hong Jun whispered, "My father will burn you to ashes!"
Mrs. Guo Guo suddenly burst into exaggerated and stern laughter.
"Hahaha—do you think my old lady will be afraid of him?!" Madam Guoguo sneered, "I'm defeated, I have to send your bones to the Taihang Mountains to see what he will do?"
Mrs. Guo Guo picked up a flying knife and stared at Hong Jun indifferently.
"Stop!" Li Jinglong said, "Mrs. Guo Guo!"
"What else can I say?" Mrs. Guo Guo sighed, closed her eyes, and said, "None of you can escape, Li Jinglong, you can't convince a mother to forgive the murderer who killed her child."
"I did it all." Li Jinglong said, "Since you have a relationship with Hongjun's father, let him smell Lihun pollen, forget about all this, and send him away, wouldn't it be better?"
Mrs. Guo Guo turned her head and stared at Li Jinglong.
Li Jinglong: "Although I don't know what your past is, it's better to resolve an enemy than to end it. Wouldn't it be better if you beat me up and let him go, and have one less enemy?"
Mrs. Guo Guo said word by word: "Li Jinglong, do you know what his biological father did? If you knew, you wouldn't say that again."
Li Jinglong: "..."
"His father killed my sister." Mrs. Guo Guo said in a deep voice, "Today it is all in my hands."
Hongjun: "!!!"
Mrs. Guo Guo picked up the flying knife, and Hong Jun tried his best to turn his head. He just wanted to summon the flying knife back with his last strength, and nailed it into Mrs. Guo Guo's throat. However, the whole body's mana has been sucked dry, and even this little strength can't be controlled.
And at this moment, a ring on Mrs. Guo's hand suddenly lit up. She stopped, hesitated for a moment, and first slashed Hong Jun's arm with a flying knife, pulling out a blood gushing mouth.
Hong Jun yelled in pain.
Madam Guoguo said to the three monsters: "Go down and find the Tucharian people. Yazi and Suanni have taken care of them. Don't let them die. I'll be right back."
The three monsters nodded, and the ring on Mrs. Guo Guo's hand shone brightly, then she raised her middle finger and drew a spell quickly in the air. The spell flashed, and with a "buzz", she disappeared out of thin air.
Li Jinglong watched Mrs. Guo Guo's movements, but couldn't help trembling due to collapse. When Hong Jun raised his eyes, the two looked at each other. Yazi walked towards him and put his knee on Hongjun's stomach. Hong Jun coughed violently, his whole body convulsed in pain, and fell to the ground dragging the iron chain.
"What do you want to eat?" Yazi lifted Hongjun by his hair, pulled him from the ground, and said, "Is it okay to swallow a knife?"
Hong Jun couldn't help panting, but another man in black named Suan Ni said, "Don't kill him."
"The people of Tocharian belong to me." Yazi replied, letting go of Hongjun.
His abdomen still had a scorched black wound blasted out by the fireball, and he staggered to the edge of the pool of blood, dipped in, and let out a muffled groan.
"I'm leaving." The man in black named Ba Xia said, and then took a little blood from the blood pool, turned into a black flame with a "swish", shot into the magic circle on the top of the cave, and disappeared.
Li Jinglong looked at Baxia, and when Suan Ni noticed Li Jinglong, Li Jinglong immediately looked away, but Suan Ni still noticed it and walked towards him.
"Don't hit him!" Hong Jun lay on his side on the ground, and said with difficulty, "He is a mortal!"
Suan Ni sneered, and opened the cage door. Li Jinglong was about to attack Suan Ni, but Suan Ni spewed out black air, entangled Li Jinglong, no need to do anything, just dragged him and hit the wall hard. Li Jinglong hit the cave wall and fainted immediately. Hong Jun yelled, and Li Jinglong fell down, and fell hard beside him.
Suan Ni laughed and said, "Trash."
Hong Jun opened his eyes wide, and seeing Li Jinglong's bruised nose and swollen face, blood slowly dripping from his nostrils onto the ground, he couldn't help but tremble.
Suan Ni didn't even bother to throw Li Jinglong back into the cage, turned around and left, reached the high place of this huge cave, turned to the stone pillar and went away without knowing what to do.
Hong Jun stretched out his hand, wanting to feel Li Jinglong's pulse, but Li Jinglong, who was unconscious on the ground, turned his hand back, gently held his fingers, opened his eyes, and said "shh" with his lips.
Only then did Hong Jun feel relieved. The distance between him and Li Jinglong was less than a foot. They were both lying on the ground on their sides, looking into each other's eyes. There was silence around them, except for the sound of the sea of blood bubbling.
In Hong Jun's eyes, Li Jinglong stared at him motionless, as if time had frozen, but it was still passing, because he saw Li Jinglong's eyes turned red and his throat moved slightly, apparently struggling to hold back his sobs. His tears dripped slowly along the bridge of his nose, mixing with the blood.
His lips moved slightly, and the mouth shape was—
-sorry.
Hong Jun tried his best to give him a smile, and seeing Li Jinglong so sad, his injuries had become insignificant.
After a long time, Hong Jun said to Li Jinglong, "We are still alive."
Li Jinglong nodded, looking at Yazi who was submerged in the blood pool, and Suan Ni who was walking up to a high place. Now that he doesn't know Artest's whereabouts, he must first find a way to save himself.
"What can I do?" Li Jinglong said in a very low voice.
Hong Jun asked in a low voice: "What about them?"
The two looked at Qiu Yongsi and Mo Zhigen in the corner. In fact, since Hong Jun arrived here, the other two remained silent, as if unconscious.
Li Jinglong said in a very low voice: "The fox demons have exhausted their spells, and they all fainted."
Hong Jun suddenly remembered that Li Jinglong was a mortal, so Mrs. Guo Guo didn't start the technique of absorbing cultivation on him.
"Can you get the flying knife?" Hong Jun whispered, "Ambush them?"
Li Jinglong raised his right hand, motioning for Hongjun to look.
His fingers were broken, and he folded backwards in a horrifying gesture.
When Hong Jun saw it, he felt a terrible pain, but Li Jinglong shook his head and said, "It's not hurting anymore, don't be afraid, first bandage the wound on your arm."
Hong Jun whispered: "Wait a little longer, maybe I can regain my strength and summon the flying knife back, there is still hope."
"How long will it take?" Li Jinglong asked, "Mrs. Guo Guo will be back soon."
Hong Jun has never encountered such a situation where his whole body is exhausted. After waiting for a long time, his spell cultivation has not recovered, and his whole body is limp. He is afraid that he will not be able to use spells in the future.
Probably not... Hong Jun comforted himself in his heart. When Chong Ming taught him to use the magic weapon, he said that spiritual energy was spontaneously born from the meridians, and it was endless and endless. As long as you spend time practicing, it will never disappear.
"I don't know." Hong Jun said anxiously.
Li Jinglong signaled Hong Jun to be safe and not to be impatient, and gently held Hong Jun's hand with his right hand with two fingers broken, and said, "A favor... I'll leave it to you."
Hong Jun couldn't bear to look at his broken finger, but Li Jinglong signaled not to be afraid.
Hong Jun hesitated for a moment, and had no choice but to grab Li Jinglong's slender middle index finger, and forcefully pulled it back with a clear sound.
Li Jinglong almost fainted in an instant. He covered his right hand with his left palm, curled up his body slightly, and gasped for breath.
"Does it still hurt?" Hong Jun asked anxiously.
Li Jinglong tried his best to move his fingers, and said in a low voice: "The broken part is at the knuckles. I can barely move it, but I can't use my strength."
His breath calmed down a little, and he asked again: "Hong Jun, I remember you said that there is a heart lamp in my body? Is that so? Do you remember?"
