After walking for a while, the space became wider and wider. Another arched door appeared in front of him, and a tall frame was placed in the middle. A large number of silk threads hung down from the ceiling, and there were many small claws on them. From afar, they looked like the claws of a bat, and all four of them were present. Although the claw didn't move, it still looked very frightening. Nangong Xue felt her stomach churn. She pulled Li Yijie's sleeve to cover her eyes. Li Yijie also felt disgusted. He frowned and said, "What kind of trap is this time?"
An Yesun said, "It's a test of accuracy. Otherwise, no matter how high your martial arts are, or how nimble your opponent is, if you can't hit him, it'll be useless. "Li Yijie thought that since his martial arts were so high, how could he always miss? Looking at the situation, he thought that he should use the 'rain of flowers filling the sky' technique to block the secret projectiles. He didn't want to let An Yesun take all the limelight. He said, "This time it's my turn." He held his sword horizontally in front of him and slowly pulled it out. He wanted to make sure that when the sword was unsheathed, the light of the sword would leak out.
An Yesun pressed the hilt of his sword and said, "You haven't undergone any special training, you won't be able to do it the first time. If one of those secret projectiles escapes, it'll be considered a failure. " Li Yijie's face turned sullen as he asked, "So what if I lost?" Anye Yun coldly said, "Those who challenge the Cult Leader have tasted defeat. According to the law, they should be put to death." Li Yijie's face turned sullen as he asked, "So what if I lost?" Li Yijie's heart tightened. Nangong Xue tried to persuade him, "Shixiong, let's forget about it this time. If you want to challenge him again in the future, won't you have a chance?"
Li Yijie's original intention was to gain face in front of his subordinates. He wanted Nangong Xue to have a whole new level of respect for him. Since she wasn't in the mood, there was no point in persisting. She sighed and said, "Fine, An Yesun, I didn't want to owe you a favor. But now I'll have to trouble you again. I'll repay you in the future."
An Yesun said, "No need." He walked forward without looking back. As soon as he stepped into a shadowy area, the crouching claws seemed to have been injected with life, as if they had come alive. Accompanied by a strange cry that sounded like an owl crying at night, they pounced on him from all directions. An Yesun was as calm as ever. His body spun rapidly and he waved his folding fan continuously. In the eyes of the bystanders, all they could see was a ball of light and shadow. Whenever the concealed weapons touched the edge of the light screen, their widely opened sharp claws would immediately shrink and turn into pieces of withered leaves that fell to the ground silently.
An Yesun spun his body and attacked repeatedly without stopping. Unexpectedly, his movements did not show the slightest sign of stopping. Instead, it was as if there was no end to his attacks. Throughout history, if the two sides were evenly matched, as time went on, they would gradually fall into a disadvantageous position due to lack of physical strength. It was unknown what kind of trick he used, or if the Devil Cult had this kind of evil technique.
Li Yijie watched with rapt attention. Based on this kind of speed, this kind of cold sword aura, even when his martial art skill was at its peak, he would not be able to match it. He had no choice but to admit it. Nangong Xue praised, "Very powerful." Li Yijie snorted. Immediately, he felt that he was too petty. His martial art skill was not as good as An Yesun's, or perhaps he did not put in as much effort as An Yesun's. This was a matter of fact. If he did not admit it, he would be narrow-minded. Just as he was about to explain, Nangong Xue's body gently leaned on his shoulder. Her hands wrapped around one of his arms. She raised her head to look at the side of his face and said, "Shixiong … What are you going to do about Jiang Liechen?"
Li Yijie saw the two of them suddenly forming an intimate posture. Even a real married couple would not dare to be so bold in front of others. He felt that something was wrong. But he thought that she was really scared. She had endured this kind of pressure alone for a long time. It was hard for her to control herself, so he did not have the heart to push her away. As for the other people, those who were able to come here were all famous martial artists with some level of attainment. Their interest in martial arts was far greater than peeking at young lovers being intimate. They were completely focused on An Yesun's display and did not have the leisure to pay attention to the two of them.
At the same time, although Li Yijie's feelings for Nangong Xue had not risen to the level of love, he was not completely without feelings. He felt very comfortable being hugged by her. As he gently stroked her long hair, he used this time to think. He said, "Don't worry. I've decided to be a good person until the end and give them a chance to fight. I'll watch from the side. If anything strange happens, I'll immediately intervene. We can't let this Demon Palace become the burial ground of our martial arts world's righteous sects. "Nangong Xue softly said," Mm, I believe in you. "
An Yesun's movements were indeed fast. Without much delay, he completely destroyed the claws and concealed weapons. With a wave of his fan, he pierced through the two claws that were gathered together and crushed them into powder. The powder scattered in the air. This was the end of the entire set of moves. Immediately after, the arched door rose and the path was clearly visible.
Everyone hurriedly went forward to welcome him. Li Yijie understood in his heart that if it weren't for him dealing with these two mechanisms, with his and everyone else's abilities, it would have been impossible for them to pass through. Not to mention that they didn't know the special rules, even if they had explained it thoroughly and then invited him to go on stage, their skills would still be insufficient.
However, although he was very open-minded when he was an open-minded person, he was also able to hold grudges for a long time. In the end, he was unable to let go of his prejudices against An Yesun and was unwilling to praise him. Nangong Xue went over to thank him on his behalf. She smiled and said, "It's all thanks to you! You've really done us a great favor! "
An Yesun said, "No need to thank me. I only let you guys bask in the glory because I wanted to break into the secret room as soon as possible. If it was because of the spirit of loyalty, I wouldn't have cared. " Li Yijie thought deeply and said, "Didn't you say that only the successor of the next Hierarch could enter these mechanisms to train? Your movements look very practiced. Could it be that you were one of the candidates at that time? "
An Yesun sneered and said, "I hope so. But with the number one favorite of the Hierarch there, what else could I get? That Devil Jiang probably wanted to show off to me, so he secretly brought me to the secret passage. He wanted me to see how difficult the task he was about to do was, and how only he could do it, so that he could deepen the difference between us. He also explained the rules and how to break through them in detail to me. He was even more comprehensive than when he taught his disciples. He also demonstrated it to me many times. I quickly understood and followed him here to practice. At that time, our progress was about the same, which was quite rare. But all in all, I've been practicing these things in secret. "
Nangong Xue said, "You're already this good after practicing secretly. If the Hierarch had really put in the effort to cultivate you, you definitely wouldn't be any worse than Jiang Liechen …" But when she thought about how he had used the techniques taught by the other party to break through their defenses, she couldn't help but feel that he was biting the hand that fed him, but she couldn't persuade him otherwise.
Along the way, they were silent and didn't talk to each other anymore. When they turned another corner, they saw a relatively open depression in front of them. A tall door stood there, attracting everyone's attention. The door was made of obsidian and looked very dignified. In the middle of the door was a carving of a divine dragon about to take flight. It was dazzling with golden light and slightly protruding. Several steps were laid at the bottom, made of dark green crystals. It seemed that the person's status was several levels higher. Sounds of admiration came from behind. Obviously, Li Yijie wasn't the only one who had guessed what this place was.
An Yesun said, "Behind this door is the Hierarch's secret room." Right now his expression was bleak. His initial fervent vigor had faded by more than half. Perhaps when he was facing his enemy, his state of mind was actually indifferent.
Li Yijie thought about the person who had once been his brother, but was also the person who had annihilated Shen Shiyun's entire family. Now that he had struck a vicious blow against the upright sects, the top figure in the Wulin world, who was also the most terrifying devil, was only separated by this door. His heart was in turmoil. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Let me talk to him first. I want to ask him, he has caused so many calamities in Jianghu, destroying so many families and nearly killing my Shifu. Does he feel the slightest bit of remorse?"
An Yesun laughed coldly and said, "So what if he feels remorse? Are you going to spare him?" Li Yijie had asked himself this question many times in his heart. Every time he thought about his Shifu and Shen Shiyun's enmity and rejected it completely. This time was no exception. He said, "Absolutely not. But I want to settle the score for him before he dies. I want to see how many sins he has committed. "
An Yesun said, "That is superfluous. His single sin is enough to cover the sins of all the evil people in the world. "He sighed and said," Very well, you can go in first. I will give him time to leave his last words. But you must also pay attention to the time limit. Don't drag it out past the Zi hour. Otherwise, it won't be good. "Li Yijie said," Of course I know. Besides, this devil and I don't have many old memories to reminisce about. "An Yesun said," That would be the best. "He took several steps back and disappeared into the huge shadow cast by the corridor pillar.
Li Yijie took several deep breaths, almost sucking all the air out of his body. Only then did he take Nangong Xue's hand and stepped onto the flight of stairs. As he stood in front of the door, he turned around to look at the crowd of heroes who had come with him. Everybody's face was full of anxiety. They were gesticulating to the door, hinting him to open it as soon as possible. But although these people were gesticulating, nobody was willing to step forward to open the door for him. They wanted him to bear all the danger.
Li Yijie deeply felt the coldness of human nature. He shook his head and placed his hands on the door. Immediately he felt a burst of bone-chilling cold seeping into his body. His thumb, which was touching the dragon's body, felt a bit warm. Li Yijie was slightly astonished. He also placed his palm on the dragon's body and felt the same warmth. He shook his head to clear his mind and pushed the door forward.
The door was quite heavy. Inch by inch it opened slowly. Through the crack in the door, everybody could see that the secret room was extremely spacious. There was a kind of austere air coming out of it. Other than that, because the door was slanted, they couldn't see anything else.
As soon as Li Yijie pushed the door open, he immediately leaned against the wall to prevent any secret projectiles from shooting out. He waited for a long time, but nothing happened. The door was indeed unlatched. There was no mechanism. He thought that the first few rounds of tests were enough. Of course, this was only his personal guess. The truth was still unknown.
Li Yijie didn't see anything strange about the secret room. He waved behind him and said, "Let's go!" He was the first to step inside. Nangong Xue was scared at first, but as long as she could stick close to her sweetheart, no matter how scared she was, it didn't matter. From now on, she only needed to pay attention to the explosives. She believed that if An Yesun wanted to set them off, his first move would be unusual. She would be able to see some clues and stop him in time.
Everybody followed in a single file and arrived at the center of the secret room. There were no gold or jade decorations here. All around were dark green cave walls. On the left, there was a tall shelf separated by layers. Each layer was filled with bottles and jars. Presumably, most of them were poisons. On the right, there was a short shelf on the ground. There were many weapons on it. Although they couldn't name most of them, they could tell from their appearance that they were all peerless divine weapons. He didn't know how much effort the Sacrifice Shadow Sect had spent to gather this set of treasures from all over the place.
There was a circle of candlesticks around the secret room. It was arranged like a mourning hall. The flame was a bit strange. It wasn't the usual golden flame. Instead, it was slightly blue. It was cold and eerie.
Surrounded by the circle of candlesticks was a chair. It was made of expensive soft jade. It was slightly dark. Everybody could only see the back of the chair. It seemed like someone was sitting on the throne. Although they couldn't see his face clearly, judging from his clothes, his position was several times higher than the previous disciples. The only one who had the right to sit here was definitely the Sect Leader.
A Diancang Sect disciple stepped out of the line and shouted, "Hey! Are you the Devil Jiang Liechen? "
The man on the chair didn't answer immediately. He let out a few broken chuckles, like a cold wind blowing through a hole. It sounded very strange.
The disciple was impatient. He was about to ask again when the person said coldly, "You already know the answer. Other than me, who else in the world is qualified to sit on this seat? You little brat, watch your words. You should call me the Lord of the Seven Evil Spirits. " There was no emotion in his voice, and his tone was flat. For some reason, there was a kind of awe-inspiring aura that could freeze everything into ice. Some timid disciples couldn't help but take a few steps back and hide behind their senior.
