The sound of footsteps echoed in the tunnel. The dark tunnel in front of them continued to extend forward. At the same time, they could feel that they were slowly sinking, as if they were going deep underground. The tunnel was very quiet. All the chaos and noise of the outside world was isolated outside. It was hard to believe that at this moment, outside of this tunnel, Mount Celestial Dragon, including the entire Immortal City, was immersed in a gloomy and mournful light of the blood moon. It was like the end of the world.
Just like that, Xue Ying and Old Ma suddenly walked towards an unknown underground place, as if they had nothing to do with it.
"Why me?" Old Ma's question rang out again. Xue Ying still did not stop, nor did she answer. It was as if she did not hear him at all.
Old Ma followed this woman for a while. Seeing that she was still acting as if nothing had happened, he could not bear it anymore. He quickly ran in front of Xue Ying and reached out to stop her. He stared at Xue Ying and said, "Hallmaster, can you explain to me clearly? Otherwise, I won't be able to leave with you. "
His action could be said to be quite rude and bold. For so many years, Xue Ying had ruled over Fuyunji. She was a revered woman in Zhenxianmeng. Other than those old Demigod True Monarchs, almost no one dared to speak to her with such an attitude.
Xue Ying herself seemed to be a little surprised by Old Ma's attitude. However, she was more surprised than angry. Perhaps she knew what was going on. She just stared at the old horse with a strange look in her eyes.
Old Ma felt a little guilty under her gaze. He subconsciously withdrew his hand that was blocking in front of her and laughed dryly.
He still wanted to explain to Xue Ying, but Xue Ying had already said, "Do you want to live or die?"
"Of course I want to live!" Old Ma answered without hesitation. However, this answer clearly did not satisfy him. He looked at Xue Ying and said in a low voice, "Hallmaster, I don't know what you want to do now, but I do know that what you're doing now is not funny. You abandoned your brothers who are fighting outside and hid here. Even if we are lucky enough to survive, if Lord True Monarch investigates, how are we going to explain all this to him …"
"Perfected Immortal?" Xue Ying suddenly interrupted Old Ma's words. She looked at Old Ma with a complicated gaze and a strange expression. There was a hint of pain in her eyes as she said softly, "How much longer do you want to deceive yourself? When has Lord Perfected Monarch ever cared about us? "
Her originally pale face suddenly flushed red, as if she was excited. Instead, it added a bit of worldly beauty to her originally cold temperament. She pointed at the passage behind her and said to Old Ma, "Since the beginning of this battle, no, since the beginning of this battle, how long has it been since you last saw our Lord Zhenjun? Do you know what he's doing right now? At such a critical juncture, when people were bleeding and risking their lives for him, why was he not here? Where is he? "
This series of questions suddenly smashed into Old Ma's face, making Old Ma a little confused for a moment.
After a while, Old Ma came to his senses. His expression changed in shock, and he looked at Xue Ying as if he was looking at someone he didn't know.
"Are you crazy?" Old Ma murmured.
"Crazy what?" Xue Ying took a deep breath and said, "I've just had enough. I don't want to be that kind of cloth that will be thrown away after using it. I want to walk a different path that I've thought of."
The muscles on Old Ma's face fiercely twisted, as if he had heard the most inconceivable words. He looked at Xue Ying, and after a long while, said in shock, "You … want to rebel?"
Xue Ying sneered, then shook her head and said, "No, I'm not rebelling against him. I've followed True Monarch Tian Lan for dozens of years. No one in the world knows this person's temperament and methods better than me. If I want to rebel against him, I definitely won't be able to defeat him. But even if I want to find a backer, who can I find? "
Old Ma thought for a moment, then asked tentatively, "The other few Demigod True Monarchs on the mountain right now?"
"Just a bunch of old trash." Xue Ying snorted disdainfully. It seemed that after throwing away her disguise, she actually looked down on the other Demigod True Monarchs in the Immortal Alliance.
"If those people want to fight with True Monarch Tian Lan, even if they join forces, I don't think they can win."
Old Ma was speechless. The moment she opened her mouth, she directly looked down on the other Demigod True Monarchs. There was really no one in the world who could be her backer.
Xue Ying said again, "The situation has developed to this point. I can basically be sure that our Lord True Monarch doesn't plan to care about our lives anymore."
Old Ma was shocked and said, "How can this be? This is Fuyunji, it's his life's work … "
"Bullshit!" Xue Ying seemed to suddenly become irritable, or perhaps she was provoked by something. She completely threw away her reserved and polite appearance and cursed in an unusually rude manner.
Old Ma was frightened by her. Today, Xue Ying's behavior was completely different from usual. It was as if she had suddenly become a different person, which gave Old Ma a strange feeling.
He was thinking nervously in his heart, and at the same time, he sized up this charming woman in front of him again. When his gaze swept across Xue Ying's face, that woman's face, which originally did not have any abnormalities, suddenly caused his gaze to freeze for a moment.
He stared at Xue Ying and found that in Xue Ying's eyes, there were two blood-red shadow marks that were slowly appearing and continuously expanding. It seemed that half of her eyes had already turned blood-red, and the other half looked like it was about to be devoured very soon.
However, Xue Ying did not seem to feel much about this. She only said bitterly, "We treat him as a god, but he treats us as grass. When we can be used, he uses us, and when we can't, he throws us away. I have risked my life for him and worked like an ox or horse for dozens of years, but today, he actually doesn't even want to see me. I … What have I been doing all these years for? "
At the end of her words, her voice had already gradually become mournful and bitter. Her words reverberated in this tunnel, echoing like the cries of ghosts.
Old Ma took a deep breath. His palms trembled slightly, but he quickly clenched his fists and firmly restrained himself. He looked at Xue Ying, and his expression became gentle, in stark contrast to Xue Ying's increasingly agitated expression. He even took a step forward and revealed a small smile, saying, "What you said is very true, it is indeed so."
Xue Ying panted, and her expression eased slightly as she looked at Old Ma.
Old Ma took another step forward and said softly, "But I still want to ask one more question."
Xue Ying grunted and said, "Go ahead and ask …"
Before she could finish the word "ask", her voice suddenly became hoarse. Her face suddenly paled, and she lowered her head to look.
She did not know when a sharp blade had appeared in one of Old Ma's hands, and he directly stabbed it into her lower abdomen.
