17 I just laugh at your inability to distinguish right from wrong

Seeing that Yuan Yi was determined to leave, Ji Chen stopped arguing.

Anyway, he didn't want to force Yuan Yi, it was Yuan Yi who didn't want to leave.

Kui Mu had to respect Yuan Yi's decision.

Ji Chen and Yuan Yi planned to go to Gui Tong together to confess their guilt.

But they didn't know where to find him.

Although Yuan Yi was carrying a sound transmission jade that could communicate with Gui Tong, no matter how he spoke to the jade, there was no response.

In the end, Yuan Yi could only take the initiative to contact the left protector.

"Your Majesty is in the closed stone chamber."

The left protector only gave such a brief reminder, and there was no further talk.

After listening, Ji Chen asked Yuan Yi curiously, "How come this left protector is more mysterious than the Demon Lord? I have never seen him show up."

"He is not in the city." Yuan Yi put away the sound transmission jade and turned to walk towards the closed stone chamber.

Ji Chen followed Yuan Yi closely, "How can he know everything about the city when he is not in the city?"

"This is his ability. He is much more powerful than me. And he is not a personal protector. He is specially responsible for the Lord's affairs. So he does not care about the security of the city. These things are usually taken care of by me."

"Then you are the personal protector?" "

Yes, I have been following the Lord. I am responsible for all matters in the city, big or small, and surrounding intelligence."

Ji Chen understood now.

The left and right protectors have clear division of labor.

One is responsible for the outside, and the other is responsible for the inside.

*

Outside the stone chamber, there are three demon cultivators guarding the entrance.

This entrance is not where Ji Chen came out. Although the interior is full of stone chambers, there are many entrances and exits.

After entering, he found that the terrain inside was quite complicated.

Ji Chen was a little lost, so he had to follow Yuan Yi, walked through a winding corridor, and finally stopped in front of a stone door.

Pushing the door and entering, the space inside should be the largest stone chamber Ji Chen has ever seen.

It is more than ten feet high, and eighty-one stone pillars support the entire huge stone roof. At the end of the stone chamber, there are high stone steps.

Ji Chen walked in and felt as small as an ant.

Looking up at those stone roofs, it felt like a night sky without stars.

Fortunately, there are skylights around, and the faint morning light that comes through illuminates the entire dark stone chamber.

His eyes followed the stone steps up, and at the top of the stone steps, there was a wide stone chair.

Gui Tong was sitting on the stone chair, with one hand supporting his forehead, with a wanton posture and a cold expression, looking down at the two people coming in.

Ji Chen and Yuan Yi walked forward and stopped under the stone steps.

Yuan Yi was the first to kneel down on both knees in front of Gui Tong, lowering his head, not daring to look at him, nor dare to speak.

But Gui Tong ignored Yuan Yi.

His eyes only fell on Ji Chen who was standing aside, without saying a word, but a faint sneer slowly rose at the corner of his mouth.

Ji Chen was a little sensitive to this smile.

Because there was obviously a blade hidden in that smile.

"Kneel down."

Gui Tong finally spoke, his voice full of suppressed coldness and sinisterness.

He was giving orders to Ji Chen.

Ji Chen knew what Gui Tong meant, because his attitude was in sharp contrast to Yuan Yi's.

Those in power often care most about the right to crush the world.

But Ji Chen still stood upright, not only did he not kneel or bow, but he also lowered his head and replied with a faint chuckle.

"Heh."

Yuan Yi was frightened by Ji Chen's move, and hurriedly raised his head to remind him in a low voice: "Kneel down, you're going to die!"

I don't know if he was worried about Ji Chen, or if he was afraid that Ji Chen would make his master angry.

Ji Chen remained indifferent.

Master kneels to his disciple?

What kind of custom is this.

Ji Chen is afraid of death, but it doesn't mean he can't die.

He even raised his head and dared to look Ghost Eye in the eye.

The two looked into each other's eyes, and all their eyes were drowned by the dark tide in the stone chamber.

Until Ghost Eye's fingertips suddenly turned into a thin blood-red whip, which was lashed down from the sky and landed on Ji Chen's cheek.

Snap -

a blood mark appeared on the fair and tender skin.

Ji Chen only felt a pain on his cheek, and then he was hit on the side by a huge force.

He raised his right hand and touched the new wound on his face, and his fingertips were stained with blood.

But not much.

There were only a few broken skins on his face.

Other than that, he had no injuries.

Ji Chen was not angry, because he had beaten Ghost Eye many times before, and this beating was also a return to him.

But he was puzzled. With Gui Tong's current strength, if he had used a little bit of spiritual power, he would not just break his skin.

With this mortal body, his meridians would be broken and his bones would be shattered.

Not only Ji Chen noticed this, but Yuan Yi, who was kneeling beside him, also noticed it.

Yuan Yi looked at Ji Chen, who was almost unscathed, in surprise, opened his mouth, and spoke after a long while: "... He is not dead?"

He said "not dead", not "nothing happened".

It seems that Yuan Yi subconsciously thought that Ji Chen was dead.

After being beaten, Ji Chen laughed even more recklessly: "Hahaha..."

Gui Tong narrowed his eyes and asked him coldly: "What's so funny?"

Ji Chen stopped laughing: "I'm just laughing at your inability to distinguish right from wrong."

Gui Tong didn't answer, and there was no emotion on his face.

Ji Chen continued: "A loyal subordinate who has followed you for a long time, you just killed him because of your personal emotions. Do you know whether he has colluded with the immortal way?"

"You will only make others think you are cruel and tyrannical if you act like this."

Yuan Yi looked at Ji Chen in astonishment.

After a long time, a teasing voice came from the upper level.

"Yes, I am cruel and tyrannical, so what? It's all my fault that my scumbag master didn't teach me well, or even didn't want to teach me at all!"

Gui Tong stood up and walked down the steps, his expression still cold, "Why not, put yourself in his shoes."

"If that's the case... a loyal disciple who has been with you for a long time, you just threw him away because of your personal emotions. Do you know whether he wants to fall into the devil or not?"

"Then I am cruel and tyrannical, but you are not!"

Ji Chen didn't expect that he would actually turn the tables on him!

Also, from what he said... how come he already knows that I am his master?
