Chapter 216 Emperor x Cultist 37
After the Snow Demon finished speaking, he slowly exerted force on the hand that was pinching the Duke's neck until there was a slight sound of human bones breaking.
The Duke's head drooped weakly, his struggle stopped instantly, and his life force gradually disappeared as if it had been devoured and deprived.
After a long time, the snow demon let out a long sigh, as if he was satisfied.
At this moment, the Duke's body had completely shriveled up, like skin covering bones, with his gorgeous clothes hanging loosely on it.
The snow demon let go of his hand, and the old man, who was only a skeleton left, lay on the ground no different from a pile of garbage.
"Father...Father!" West cried bitterly beside the Duke's body.
Her sharp and piercing wail echoed through the sky, and the snow demon held her head down.
"My dear, don't you understand? No one in this world truly loves you."
The Snow Demon whispered seductively, "You have to rely on yourself. You have to become stronger and make everyone who bullied you pay the price..."
He held West's face and looked at her quietly for a while.
Then he pulled her up roughly, without any patience, staring at You Yinte with gloomy eyes.
"When the seal is completely broken, that will be your death."
The snow demon's malicious whispers echoed in the sky, and he disappeared in a dark snowstorm.
West was also taken away, leaving only two people in this large open space.
Qian Zhou squeezed You Yinte's hand, "...Are you okay?"
"Why are you worried about me?" You Yinte said casually, "I'm fine. He's gone, so he's gone."
"Like a mouse, never daring to face off."
Qian Zhou asked doubtfully, "So that was also a fake body?"
"Yeah." You Yinte nodded, "The real body is suppressed under the church, and the magic circle extends within a radius of ten miles."
Since there is a magic circle, there must be a way to maintain it.
Pus had said before that Youint could repair the seal, so why did he allow the snow demon to eat away the seal bit by bit?
What are your concerns?
Things happened too suddenly, and the snow demon had already taken West away.
Qianzhou subconsciously followed You Yinte, completely forgetting that he wanted to go back to find Honglian.
You Yinte walked for a distance and came to the clean snow.
Qianzhou's ankles sank into the snow, and he came to his senses. "It's clearly spring, why do I feel it's getting colder day by day..."
Not only has it been snowing every night recently, but the weather has changed so much that even Qianzhou feels a little chilly.
His ankles were red, and he lowered his head and kicked away the snow around him bit by bit.
You Yinte looked at him and said, "Do you know why I can't completely repair the seal?"
Qian Zhou shook his head and asked, "Why?"
"The power of this magic circle is far beyond everyone's imagination. It's not that simple."
You Yinte did a quick calculation and said, "It's been more than nine hundred years."
Qian Zhou was shocked. How could it take so long?!
This large magic circle is nearly a thousand years old. How much energy did You Yinte have to spend to set up this magic circle?
You Yinte saw what Qian Zhou was thinking and said, "I didn't set up the magic circle. I was only responsible for the last part."
"Who is that?" Qian Zhou asked.
Apart from You Yinte, Qian Zhou couldn't think of anyone else who could accomplish this feat.
You Yinte leaned down, reached out and touched Qianzhou's head, then pressed his shoulders and made him look up at the sky.
The dark clouds have dispersed and you can see clusters of stars in the sky.
You Yinte said softly: "It's a man named Jiuwei."
He was slightly lost in thought, "A black cat named Ninetails."
"Does he have nine tails?" Qian Zhou asked.
You Yinte pondered for a moment and laughed, "Yes."
Qianzhou felt that there was a special barrier around You Yinte, which made people feel at ease even in such a critical period.
The two of them stood in the middle of the snow, and Qianzhou's footprints had already circled several times.
You Yinte stood in the center of the footprint circle, "What are you doing? Marking the territory?"
Qianzhou stopped and stood in front of You Yinte.
"Do you have something to say to me?"
He stepped on his own footprints, and on both sides there were like little barriers that surrounded Youint.
Qianzhou held up a finger and said, "You said you would give me three chances to ask for help, and now I'm going to use one."
"What do you want me to help you with?" You Yinte asked.
Qianzhou stretched out a finger and shook it, pursing his lips, feeling embarrassed.
So he turned around and faced You Yinte.
"Please, please... tell me the truth."
Qianzhou was very serious, "Who is the Snow Demon? Who is the Nine-Tailed Fox? Why are you suddenly so nice to me? What exactly are you hiding from me?"
"Why did you fight with Honglian that day? Why did you insist on the Holy Fire Core? Why—"
You Yinte pinched Qian Zhou's mouth and said, "Stop."
He said cunningly, "You can only ask one person for help at a time."
Qian Zhou curled his lips, lowered his eyes to look at You Yinte's slender fingers, and asked vaguely:
"How about two?"
Those light blue eyes like gems looked at You Yinte brightly, as if acting coquettishly.
No one can withstand this kind of gaze, let alone You Yinte.
"Can't."
Honglian came over on the snow and pulled Qianzhou behind him, "Knowing this will do you no good."
His hostility towards You Yinte has not dissipated yet. That matter was too dangerous. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a life-or-death situation.
"Youint, I've warned you."
Honglian pinched Qianzhou's wrist, and the veins on his arm slowly emerged, and he was already suppressing his anger.
He said coldly: "There is no way I would agree to that."
There was no change in You Yinte's expression, but Qian Zhou could sense the intense sparks between him and Hong Lian.
Seeing that the two were about to fight, Qianzhou stepped forward to stop them.
But as soon as he took a step, it was as if he had stepped into the void, and the surroundings suddenly became silent.
Qianzhou was pulled into a gray, still space. The surroundings were square and there was no sound of falling snow or blowing wind.
You Yinte slowly walked out of the space crack and covered his hands with his sleeves.
"Qianzhou, time is still here."
Qianzhou looked down at his wrist, the warmth from Honglian's palm still lingering on the surface of his skin.
As if in an invisible place, Honglian was pulling him.
"I want to tell you something. It's a long story and I will probably talk for a long time..." You Yinte stretched out his hand to Qianzhou.
"come over."
"......Yeah." Qianzhou walked over and placed his hand in Youyinte's palm.
Qianzhou lowered his eyes, unable to help but think of Honglian's resolute attitude.
No words were spoken the whole time.
He is not a cat in a greenhouse, Qianzhou wants to know the whole truth.
You Yinte patted his head and said, "Honglian is a stubborn person. Don't think about him anymore."
The next second, changes occurred around the space.
The emerald green forest stretches to the end of the sight, and the fish in the stream wag their tails happily.
There are large fields below, new sprouts are breaking through the soil, and the wind is gentle.
Qianzhou hadn't seen such a colorful world for a long time, and he stood there in a daze for a moment.
"This is the original appearance of this land. Even Honglian thought that the kingdom was always shrouded in eternal winter."
"He wanted to kill the snow demon simply because it would harm his people."
"He himself doesn't know that as long as the Snow Demon disappears, all of this will end."
"Everyone will see real spring."
You Inte looked at the vibrant land.
"...Honglian's way of defeating the Snow Demon is to sacrifice himself."
