They were like sharp blades of death reaping lives, killing anyone they saw.

During the time when sword light and blood light intersected, the demons who had just broken through the formation and had not yet had time to rush in fell one after another.

Ye Linglong's cultivation was not as good as Yu Honglan's, and she was not as fast in killing as Yu Honglan, but these demons were distributed evenly. When someone died on Yu Honglan's side, someone would run from her side to Yu Honglan's side.

After discovering this, an idea immediately flashed through Ye Linglong's mind.

wrong!

They were deceived!

If these demons really wanted to rush in to find what they needed, they should all surround us.

As long as she can't control so many people, someone will escape her interception and rush in to complete their mission.

But no, they were evenly distributed around her and the senior sister. It was obvious that she and the senior sister were the ones who were intercepted!

Being trapped in a trap is fake, and having no time to escape after breaking it is also fake. The real thing is to cover the people who have already entered!

After discovering this clue, Ye Linglong gave up fighting with these demons and ran directly into the depths of the hall.

When they realized that she was trying to run, the demons that were harassing her suddenly increased in number.

"Big sister, stop them!"

Although Yu Honglan didn't notice it at the first time, she understood it as soon as her junior sister spoke.

So she quickly rushed to Ye Linglong and single-handedly intercepted the demons who wanted to stop her junior sister.

Despite Yu Honglan's obstruction, Ye Linglong took some time to break through the obstruction and rushed into the innermost part of the hall.

Ye Linglong who rushed in was shocked by the scene inside.

In front of this hall is an open space, and the eldest sister's mechanism is set up outside.

Running inside along the tall jade pillars on both sides, you can see a tall and majestic statue.

However, this statue, which was supposed to stand and overlook the world, collapsed.

It fell on its back to the ground. Its body, which should have been smooth and intact, was covered with marks of various weapons. Even one of its arms was broken and no one knew where it fell.

What shocked Ye Linglong the most was that behind the place where the statue collapsed, a large shallow pit appeared on the ground that had been shattered into almost powder sand.

The head of the statue was just above the center of the pit and did not completely fall to the ground.

And under the statue, on top of the broken pit, there were numerous weapons stuck in it, including swords, knives, spears, halberds and various other kinds.

In the very center of these weapons, surrounded by all the weapons, there was a black heavy sword, huge and heavy.

Unlike other weapons whose light had faded and whose aura had ceased, this black heavy sword was surrounded by black demonic energy!

At this moment, a demon was standing in front of the magic sword!

When Ye Linglong arrived, the demon took off the blood-red gem inlaid on the heavy sword that was surrounded by a faint demonic aura.

That ruby ​​seemed to be the eye of the heavy sword. After it was taken off, the unpleasant feeling that made people feel uneasy and suffocated at a glance disappeared, and along with it, the evil spirit lingering on the heavy sword also disappeared.

The man who took off the ruby ​​heard the sound and turned around quickly, and saw Ye Linglong who was chasing him.

His eyes widened in panic, and before Ye Linglong could make a move, he quickly hid behind the heavy sword.

With a pale face and great fear, he took out an unknown magic weapon from the ring. In the short time when Ye Linglong rushed in front of him, the magic weapon took effect and opened up a passage. He lowered his head and crawled in.

After entering the passage, he turned around and looked at Ye Linglong, his eyes still full of panic.

The moment Ye Linglong arrived, the passage was closed instantly, and he disappeared in front of Ye Linglong with the gem and escaped.

At that moment, Ye Linglong stretched out his hand to grab the void, but caught nothing.

The regret and remorse that was just a little bit short of hers was growing wildly in her heart.

She could have clearly stopped them. They had clearly spent so much time and paid such a huge price. They were even about to wipe out hundreds of demons. They even killed Leng Fangfei and Leng Shihai. How come they failed in the end?

It's all her fault! If she had realized earlier that someone had escaped from her formation, or even realized earlier that the demons outside were just trying to stop them with their lives, then everything would have been different!

I have passed the most difficult levels and killed the strongest people, so how come I am only just a little bit short at the end?

Is it really God's will?

No matter how hard we try, we can't defeat the demons?

When this thought came up and quickly eroded Ye Linglong's consciousness, she fell into immense regret and self-blame.

She squatted down, holding her head with both hands, and kept recalling the scene just now. If it was faster, faster...

"Little junior sister!"

Ye Linglong's thoughts were interrupted by the voice of the senior sister coming from behind. She turned around and looked at Yu Honglan who was rushing towards her with slightly red eyes.

"Junior sister, what's wrong with you? Are you affected by the aura here?"

The first thing Yu Honglan did when he rushed over was not to ask her whether she had succeeded in intercepting the enemy or what had happened. Instead, he asked her what was wrong.

"Little junior sister?"

Yu Honglan squatted down and placed his warm palm on Ye Linglong's forehead.

"Don't be afraid, Senior Sister is here."

Seeing the extremely gentle senior sister coming out of the killing state, Ye Linglong's heart softened and she opened her arms and hugged her.

Falling into the warm embrace, Ye Linglong, who had just fallen into self-blame, gradually calmed down.

Because at that moment, she suddenly realized that this was not a coincidence, nor was it an accidental mistake.

The demon who took the red gem was none other than the one who killed two people to establish his authority when she entered the palace, and then stood up to show her the way and provide her with information.

He has been following me since then.

Later, they entered the space of regret that trapped Leng Shihai together. He got Ye Linglong's permission to stay by his side with the words "Bringing the Ninth Princess in is a betrayal of the Fourth Prince. Staying with him will mean death. I can only stay with the Ninth Princess and guide her."

It was he who led him to find the secret room that Leng Shihai could not open without the key.

She just thought she was going with the flow at the time, and she didn't even ask the man's name.

But now that I think about it, this is totally wrong.

He knew too much. Although he was guarding outside, he knew all the information here.

He was special from the beginning.
