Chapter 1455 I'll come back to settle the score with you

So when the demons and the other three tribes were fighting, he could lead his men to find a breakthrough and leave the cage she had woven without looking back.

So he could let them risk their lives to intercept her and the eldest senior sister to buy him some time.

Therefore, he knew exactly what the demons were looking for, and had magic weapons ready to escape at any time.

He was not an accident or a coincidence, nor was he someone she could easily take down if she had arrived earlier.

However, he has always appeared timid, cowardly, and panic-stricken. Even when he has succeeded, he has never smiled a triumphant smile, let alone an arrogant sarcasm. He still looks terrified, as if everything is just luck.

It was because of this that Ye Linglong felt that she was just a little short of it, and that she only needed to come a little earlier. This was all her fault.

After realizing this, Ye Linglong escaped from the mental trap of self-blame, but there was a person in his mind who should not be underestimated.

This demon whose name she didn't even know was the only one she had ever seen who succeeded without showing off at all. It was very scary to hide his secrets.

"Junior sister?"

"Senior Sister, I failed to stop him, and he took the red gem from the magic sword away."

"The red gem on the magic sword?" Yu Honglan murmured, "So that's it, so that's it..."

"Master sister, what's going on?"

A sigh that did not belong to her came out of Yu Honglan. Yan Jingyi came out of Yu Honglan's body, became an independent adult, and landed beside the two of them skillfully.

"We have always believed that the demons wanted to take back this black demon heavy sword, because it is the only weapon left by the ancient gods and demons that still emits aura."

Yan Jingyi waved his hand lightly and drew a large circle: "And look at this arrangement, all the weapons here are surrounding this one, which is enough to show how powerful the owner of this weapon, that ancient demon, is.

We knew this was the demon's target, so we tried to pull it out and take it away, or destroy it, or seal it. We tried everything, but we couldn't do anything with it."

Yu Honglan sighed: "So even though you noticed that we were delayed just now, I didn't think we would fail, because this heavy sword can't be pulled out in a short time. If it wants to come out, it must have a mighty momentum, but just now it was so quiet inside without any movement."

"It turns out that the demons only wanted to take away the ruby ​​on the sword, and that ruby ​​is the most important thing about this sword." Yan Jingyi said, "Little Junior Sister, you don't have to blame yourself. Before the demons came, this ruby ​​had almost lost its color and looked gray and ordinary."

Ye Linglong was stunned. These words further confirmed her previous guess.

The demon who took the ruby ​​away, whose name she couldn't remember, was really extraordinary.

He did not realize at first that he had captured Leng Xinyu, otherwise he would not have allowed her to do so many things in the demon team, leading to the almost annihilation of the demon army.

But his keen intuition made him choose to follow as soon as he came in.

He followed the right path, hid safely, and when he finally attacked, he succeeded.

"So, what is the use of that gem? Why would the demons want to get it even at such a cost?" Ye Linglong asked.

Yan Jingyi and Yu Honglan shook their heads at the same time.

"We have been here for nearly a hundred years, but we still don't know much about this place. If the demons hadn't entered this place ten years ago, we would have left." Yu Honglan said, "I was so focused on you at the time. I had achieved success in my cultivation, and Jing Yi had fulfilled his wish, so I wanted to leave."

"But after the demons came, we couldn't leave. There weren't many of them at first, so we were able to deal with them. But later, they came in greater and greater numbers, and the people they sent became stronger and stronger. In order to protect this last palace, we even changed the layout of the palace. We did a lot of things."

Yan Jingyi sighed.

"I didn't expect that the demons would finally get what they wanted. It's really frustrating to see them fail at this point."

After he finished speaking, Yu Honglan patted his shoulder.

"What's there to be sad about? They took the gems, but have you ever counted how many people died here? For example, the Demon Lord had nine children, and three of them died here. Even the second princess of the Demon Clan, Leng Fangfei, died here with her strongest confidant. Isn't this a big loss?

If it were me, no matter how useful and precious this gem is, I would never let my people die here, because it may not be as useful as these living people.

Moreover, we stopped them once and defeated them all with fewer troops. If they dare to fight again next time, we will kill them again. It's just a loss of a gem, not a loss of this skill.

What can protect you is always your own strength.

Don't stay here and make my little sister's already sad face even more gloomy. I will settle the score with you later."

Yan Jingyi's eyes widened when he was confronted, but he opened his mouth and finally swallowed his words. This shows how intimidating the senior sister's words "I'll settle the score later" are.

The conversation between the two made Ye Linglong burst into laughter.

Yes, it is useless to blame themselves now that things have come to this. They should look forward.

The demons' determination to wage war will not change because of the presence or absence of this gem.

"It's good that you smiled. When I saw your expression when I came here just now, I was almost scared to death."

Yu Honglan touched Ye Linglong's head, then put his arm around her shoulders and embraced her.

"Come on, little sister, I'll take you on a tour here. You'll definitely be interested and will definitely be able to see more things."

The way the senior sister welcomed me to visit her home really made Ye Linglong laugh.

"OK."

"Look up."

Following Yu Honglan's finger, Ye Linglong looked up and discovered that there was a gap in the eaves above the position that the statue blocked from top to bottom.

Compared to the previous ones that were relatively intact, this last hall was the most dilapidated one that looked like it had been damaged in a war.

"If nothing unexpected happens, this palace belongs to the Gods, because the last palace houses a statue of God. But little Junior Sister, do you find it strange that the great war between Gods and Demons took place in this palace of the Gods?"

Yes, why?

Ye Linglong was startled and waited for Yu Honglan to continue.

She continued, "When two sides fight, no one would choose to fight in their own beautiful house, unless one side was attacked by the other side. But the Soul Breaking Mountain is not the center of the gods. Why would the gods build such a magnificent palace here?"

"Why?"
