Xiao Qianye stood with his sword in hand, his golden and silver eyes looking coldly at the two people who were suddenly thrown in. With him as the center, the power of the God of War was still fighting against the erosion from the Ten Palaces of Hell, and countless ghost hands were clawing at him crazily.

But he was afraid of this stronger divine power and never dared to get too close.

In the previous moment, Mu Xizhao burst out with terrifying power that made him tremble. He rolled up the old man who was almost swallowed directly, then looked at the direction, and landed directly in front of him.

After entering a certain range around Xiao Qianye, the ghost hands that had almost torn them into pieces also retracted in a sensible manner. Zhuang Mo came back to his senses and smiled awkwardly. The next moment, the white tip of the Li Kong Sword

Pointing at the two of them unceremoniously, Mu Xizhao instinctively held down the weapon, but Zhuang Mo immediately suppressed him. Facing the strange and familiar person in front of him, his expression was even more polite, and the batch leader lectured:

"Stop! Put your weapons away, and don't do anything wrong when you see the Master of the Military Pavilion!"

"The following offense?" Xiao Qianye's tone was slightly provocative, and he looked coldly at this shrewd and capable old man, his hands still not moving at all, "Speaking of the following offense, Mr. Zhuang seems to have a bad head."

Zhuang Mo patted the hem of his clothes, and then bowed to him. According to his position, the Military Pavilion Master who ranked as marshal was indeed much higher than him, the warden of the whole territory, but King Fu's Water Prison always belonged to His Majesty alone.

, it is originally a very special place, even if the other party is in the position of marshal, he will not get any special exception.

Normally when the two of them met, Xiao Qianye would still treat each other politely even if he was pretending, but in this situation, he immediately put away his false kindness and showed his murderous intent.

"What is this?" Xiao Qianye didn't want to talk nonsense with him at all. He moved his wrist slightly and used the seven-turn sword style to cut the skin against his cheek like a threat.

The moment the blood came out, the special spiritual power from the sword spirit entered his body, and the heart-wrenching pain caused cold sweat to break out on his forehead, but Zhuang Mo didn't squint, staring straight at him, not caring about his wounds at all.

, there was an extremely complicated look in the old man's eyes, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind. He quickly selected the most suitable words with so many years of experience, and then smiled brightly and breathed a long sigh of relief: "If I

Tell me the truth, can Master Junge let me go?"

Mu Xizhao broke into a cold sweat and looked at Zhuang Mo like a monster. He didn't dare to interrupt at all - this old man was too courageous, right? At this time, you still dare to negotiate terms with him?

Sure enough, the person opposite sneered and shook his head amused by such remarks. He raised the old man's chin with the sharp edge of his sword and asked: "Why do you think you are qualified to ask me to let you go?"

"If you say it, you will die, if you don't say it, you will die, so I would rather not say it." Zhuang Mo showed no fear and couldn't suppress the excitement in his voice, "I have tortured others all my life in this King Binding Water Prison where I never see the light of day. If in the end

You are destined to die here, which is not so bad, but you... every minute you delay here, the situation outside will become extremely dangerous. I will exchange the life of an old man for the life of His Highness the Crown Prince and your brother.

Life is a bargain..."

The two looked at each other in silence, Zhuang Mo smiled confidently, he couldn't understand the human heart very well. To survive in the imperial capital, observing people's emotions is a necessary skill.

From the moment he was thrown in by the Night King, he had already discovered that this so-called "Ten Palaces of Hell Formation" was not intended to kill this person. It could even be said that this formation could not kill Xiao Qianye at all.

The Night King's purpose is just to trap him.

Zhuang Mo's heart skipped a beat - had His Majesty already expected such a change? That's why he didn't trust heaven at all from the beginning!

"Huh... Okay." Xiao Qianye put away the sword spirit, but grabbed his collar and lifted it up with his backhand. He actually looked a little angry, but he had to calm down and asked,

"What have you worked so hard to create? What did the Ten Palaces of Hell do? Mr. Zhuang, you better not try to lie to me, otherwise I will break one of your fingers every time I find a false word."

Only then did Zhuang Mo's expression finally change. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of his seemingly gentle hand placed on the back of his hand, and then he pinched his index finger.

"Hurry up." Xiao Qianye urged threateningly. Zhuang Mo paused for a moment, his heart beating with fear. He did not dare to look at the other person's gold and silver eyes again and said, "The King of Hell of the Ten Palaces was originally a man who fought for the four brothers thirty years ago.

It was launched as a result of the realm separation plan, with the King Binding Water Prison in the Imperial Capital as the core, and connected to other prisons in the four realms, including Tianzhiya in Yudu, Zhanxi Mountain in Dongming, Bengyue Cliff in Jialuo, and

In Yangchuan's Sunken Sand Sea, when all the power is gathered in the center, the huge power generated can divide the four realms, allowing Tianyu City to break away from Feiyuan and become completely independent."

"But it still failed." Zhuang Mo sighed, as if he was very sorry, and completely ignored the disgust that instantly rose on the face of the person in front of him, and continued, "There is another more powerful force that stopped the four realms.

The separation forced the Ten Palaces of Hell Formation to terminate, and what you see now is just the ruins left behind from those days."

Xiao Qianye silently thought about what Xi Hui had just said. The Ten Palaces of Hell Formation was designed by King Chen Pengshan to destroy Fei Yuan. However, he encountered resistance from ancient species deeper in the foundation and was ultimately forced to give up.

There was an imperceptible sneer between Xiao Qianye's brows. Zhuang Mo did not lie to himself, but he probably had something more important that he had not disclosed.

"What else?" He secretly exerted force on his hand, and his bones made a soft "click" sound. The old man suddenly frowned, obviously knowing that this explanation did not satisfy him, so he had to continue: "Your Majesty has never given up on this.

Plan, in order to give the Ten Palaces of Hell Formation enough power to restart, he ordered the eighty-first floor to be renovated, changed the crematorium to spiritual fire, and asked the Star Sacrifice Palace to write on it the words "Strip off the living soul"

The curse, from then on, all prisoners must be sent there for processing before dying..."

"Before death?" Xiao Qianye's eyes flashed with surprise, and he suddenly realized these four unusual words. Zhuang Mo pursed his lips into a sharp straight line and sighed, "Deaths are not allowed in King Binding Water Prison.

Yes, hey, Your Majesty is really making things difficult for me. You have to give the prisoners enough punishment, but you can’t let them die. Thanks to Your Majesty, I have grown a lot over the years and learned a lot about how to keep people from dying.

What's the way to survive! Hehe... and those test subjects, in order to reduce death, I specially researched some things that can bring people back to life..."

The old man's eyes rolled, as if he was showing off something very remarkable. His eyes shone brightly and he grabbed Mu Xizhao's hand. He forgot his situation for a moment and said sternly: "Look at him! He also

This is one of the most successful test subjects I have had in so many years. He can even be perfectly integrated with the 'Stealing Soul'. It won't be long before Governor Gao will completely control him. Can you imagine, an eighty-year-old man?

The old man will be reborn soon, changing his body and becoming a young and strong young man! If Governor Gao succeeds, then..."

"He can't succeed." Xiao Qianye interrupted him impatiently. Zhuang Mo's interest instantly dropped from fanaticism to freezing point. He suddenly calmed down and found that Li Kongjian had inexplicably turned its direction and pointed at Mu Xizhao beside him.

Mu Xizhao looked at him warily, and through his eyes, Gao Chengchuan was also watching Xiao Qianye's every move.

Xiao Qianye shook his head and smiled helplessly: "I'm really not good at detoxifying. I can't do anything with your poison myself, but..."

Before he finished speaking, ten golden sword energy slashed down in front of his eyes. Mu Xizhao staggered and fell back. Xiao Qianye moved and grabbed him to prevent him from falling. After he regained his footing, Mu Xizhao pressed down painfully.

He closed his eyes, and warm liquid flowed down the corners of his eyes. He was startled, and his heart was shocked. His eyes were instantly dark, and he could no longer see anything!

"You're not blind." Before he could think about it, the sound of sword wind came to his ears. In an instant, his world fell into deathly silence. Xiao Qianye's voice sounded coldly in his ears, "Your sight and hearing have been blocked.

The sword energy just blocks my sight, grab me and don’t let go.”

Mu Xizhao lowered his head, but his survival instinct forced him to reach out his hand, his fingertips touched his skin, and then he suddenly took it back.

It's so cold... Why is this person's body as cold as ice?

"Master Zhuang, continue." Xiao Qianye did not notice the intense emotions surging in his heart under Mu Xizhao's calm appearance, and turned to ask Zhuang Mo, "We have to deal with waste products and we cannot let them die. Could it be that...

…”

"It's exactly what you think." Zhuang Mo waved his hand and said indifferently, with his usual ruthless tone, "Only when you are sent in alive can the living soul be stripped out, and then part of it will be used to test the medicine, and the other part will be there forever.

Being imprisoned in the Ten Palaces of Hell's Formation, His Majesty hopes that one day this power of resentment will allow the formation to operate again, realize the great separation of the four realms, and return to the homeland with Tianyu City!"

At this point, Zhuang Mo raised his arms high, revealing his crazy admiration: "Your Majesty moved his most important people to Tianyu City just to wait for that day to come! Why do you want to stop such a great thing?

dream?"

The murderous aura in Xiao Qianye's eyes flashed away. He tightened his grip on the Likong Sword and released it with a sneer: "In the past, the Heaven Realm used the Blood Tea Formation to massacre the entire Feiyuan territory. Now, Your Majesty uses the Ten Palaces of Hell to kill all living beings."

Millions, no wonder the two of them hit it off and joined forces, they really have the same chemistry."

"You don't want to return to your homeland?" Zhuang Mo was heartbroken by the cold water poured on him, and sneered, "Stop pretending, you are not a good person. You think that the millions of people who died here and you are nothing like Tianzheng Mansion.

Is it related? The Master of the Military Pavilion has forgotten it, right? The Military Pavilion has been a place where only the emperor's orders have been obeyed since ancient times. Wherever the iron hooves of the Military Pavilion step on, there is no difference between the guilty and the innocent. How can you still

Have you seen the captives you brought back? Not even once, right? Where have all those people gone? King Binding Water Prison is only such a big place, where have the people... gone?"

Zhuang Mo raised the corners of his mouth, as if he was feeling something, and said sarcastically: "Aren't you killing people without mercy for your own status? The number of people who have died under the military pavilion master is not necessarily less than mine."

"Indeed, what you said is absolutely correct." Xiao Qianye was unexpectedly calm. After all, he was a person who had long been accustomed to life in the imperial capital. Such deliberate provocation would not cause any disturbance to him at all. He bent slightly and let his

His eyes were the same as those of the lean old man, and there was a deep meaning in his eyes, "Since Mr. Zhuang knows me so well, you should know that for me, going back on my word is not a big deal. Killing one more person is just a raise of my hand.

That’s all.”

"You!" Zhuang Mo was stunned, and couldn't believe the smiling face he saw now - the corners of his mouth were raised with teasing, disdain, and even playfulness.

Did he miscalculate... At this moment, Zhuang Mo's heart skipped a beat, and he felt unprecedented nervousness and fear. Judging from his experience in meeting people for so many years, although Xiao Qianye, the master of the Military Pavilion, was not easy to get along with, he definitely did not talk nonsense or go back on his word.

man of!

However, the bright light of the Li Kong Sword obviously indicated that his guess was wrong. Xiao Qianye had no intention of keeping his promise. He cut it down with a sword-like gaze without any emotion!

"Antidote! You don't want the antidote anymore -" Zhuang Mo's pupils narrowed, and his instinct overridden his reason and shouted loudly. The Likong Sword stopped abruptly against his forehead, and the sharp blade had already cut his skin.

Zhuang Mo gasped for breath, caught his fleeting hesitation, and shouted loudly, "The antidote for stealing souls, you, if you let me live, I will tell you how to get rid of the soul stealing in him, it won't do you any harm, right?"

?After all, I am just a little warden..."

Xiao Qianye was slightly startled unexpectedly, and tilted his head to look at Mu Xizhao beside him - he had shown such hatred before, and even made himself think "this person must not be kept".

But at this moment, the blind and deaf Mu Xizhao gently pinched a corner of his clothes, really just pinching a little bit with the top of his fingers, so cautiously, like a helpless child.

Should he be saved? Xiao Qianye calmed down and asked himself this question that he should not hesitate to ask. Nameless irritability arose in his heart, and it was this familiar sense of disagreement, the conflict between the diametrically opposite personalities of Emperor Zhong and the ferocious beast.

Finally, let him involuntarily have a sense of disagreement!

"Where is the antidote?" The next moment, he lowered his head and rubbed his forehead, suddenly feeling a little tired.

Zhuang Mo breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Mu Xizhao secretly, and stuck out his tongue in disbelief - he never expected that the person who saved his life in the end would be a former medicine man!

"In the heart of Governor Gao." Zhuang Mo suddenly sneered, not caring whether saying these words would anger Gao Chengchuan, "The antidote for stealing souls is called soul fusion, and it needs to be implanted directly into the heart.

Now Governor Gao can already see and hear things through his eyes and ears. Recently, he can even transmit his own voice directly into his head. I'm afraid it won't be long before Ronghun and Governor Gao are completely integrated.

He... will become another Governor Gao."

"In my heart..." Xiao Qianye pursed her lips and said bluntly, "Will killing Gao Chengchuan just eliminate the problem?"

Zhuang Mo was shocked, he indeed meant this, but when Xiao Qianye said such words without any hesitation or fear, it was still far beyond his expectation.

"Master Zhuang..." Xiao Qianye sneered in a low voice, with a rare hint of malice in his eyes, "Sir, do you remember a test subject named 'Tian Shi'? Not long ago, he lost control and ran away from Binding Water because of the failure of the experiment."

Prison escape."

"Tian Shi?" Although Zhuang Mo didn't understand the meaning of his sudden question, the murderous intent that had gathered on the other side again made him dare not relax at all. He quickly thought about it seriously and said with sudden realization, "Oh, Tian Shi?"

Shi, you mean that child from the Lingyin tribe, subject No. 43, what happened to him?"
