Chapter 1454: Almost, Just Almost
They were like sharp blades of death reaping lives, killing everyone they saw.
In the moment when sword light and blood light merged, 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 could not kill as fast as Yu Honglan, but these demons were distributed evenly, and 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.
No!
They were deceived!
If these demons really wanted to rush in to find what they needed, they should all attack our side.
As long as she can't control so many people, someone will be able to escape her interception and rush in to complete their mission.
But no, they were evenly distributed around her and the eldest senior sister. It was obvious that she and the eldest senior sister were the ones who were intercepted!
Being trapped in a mechanism is fake, and having no time to escape after breaking out is also fake. The real thing is protecting the people who have already entered!
After discovering this clue, Ye Linglong gave up entangled with these demons and ran directly into the depths of the hall.
When they realized she was trying to run, the demons that were entangled with her suddenly increased in number.
"Senior Sister, stop them!"
Although Yu Honglan didn't notice it at the first time, she understood as soon as her junior sister spoke.
So she quickly rushed to Ye Linglong's side 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 a wide open space, and the senior sister's office is located outside there.
Running 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, has collapsed.
It fell on its back, and its body, which should have been smooth and intact, was covered with marks of various weapons. Even one of its arms was broken and fell somewhere unknown.
What shocked Ye Linglong the most was that behind the place where the statue collapsed, a large and shallow pit appeared on the ground that had been shattered into almost powder sand.
The head of the statue is just above the center of the pit and does not completely fall to the ground.
Under the statue and on top of the broken pit, there were numerous weapons, including swords, knives, spears, halberds and various other weapons.
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 cut off, 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 uneasy and uncomfortable feeling that made people feel uneasy at first 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 and frightened face, 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 drilled 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.
That tiny bit of regret and remorse was growing wildly in her heart.
She could have clearly stopped her. They had clearly spent so much time and paid such a huge price. They were even on the verge of wiping 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 just a little short at the very end?
Is this really God’s will?
No matter how hard you try, you can't defeat the demons?
When this thought came to her mind 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...
"Junior sister!"
Ye Linglong's thoughts were interrupted by the voice of her senior sister 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?"
When Yu Honglan rushed over, he didn't ask her whether she succeeded in intercepting the attack or what happened. Instead, he asked her what happened.
"Junior sister?"
Yu Honglan squatted down and placed her 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 emotional 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 away the red gem was none other than the demon who had 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 regretful space that trapped Leng Shihai together. He got Ye Linglong's permission to stay by his side with the words "Bringing the Ninth Princess in means betraying 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 her to find the secret room that Leng Shihai could not open without the key.
She just thought she was going with the flow, she didn't even ask the man's name.
But now I think about it, this is totally wrong.
He knew too much. Even though he was guarding outside, he knew all the information here.
He was special from the beginning.
