beauty and the beast

The Demon Emperor's answer was naturally impeccable, "Of course you can trust me." He looked at the blood-red Tongtian Tower and asked, "How to open this tower."

Zhang Lie heard Ling say, "Come with me."

Immediately, his gaze trembled, and Ling Zai strode towards the Tongtian Tower.The monsters on the opposite side still look respectful, but they are closer, or in other words, now that Ling controls his sight, he can see more clearly, so he can see the surprise on the faces of these monsters The countenance, he thought, perhaps the goblins thought their master had succeeded.

At this time, Zhang Lie really wanted to see the expressions of his father, Bai Yin, and Nan.He wants to reassure them, don't worry, he'll be fine, and he also wants to remind them to get ready because...

What Ling said was so ruthless, but Zhang Lie could also feel that he was merciless. He said that the demon emperor had not changed for thousands of years, but he had changed.But Zhang Lie felt that they hadn't changed.The Demon Emperor is still the unscrupulous Demon Emperor, and Ling is still the soft-hearted Ling.In this choice, even though Zhang Lie has only one choice, he is still not optimistic about the Demon Emperor.

Perhaps sensing Zhang Lie's thoughts, Ling suddenly stopped in his tracks and glanced back.Although it was already far away, Zhang Lie still saw the person over there, the father who was far away, Bai Yin.

It's just that he couldn't say anything.

Ling also only gave him this time to look, and then he strode towards the Tongtian Tower.

The tower actually looks very close, but it is far away.If Zhang Lie left, Zhang Lie believed that he might not be able to leave for a long time.But after Ling took control of Zhang Lie's body, it seemed that even his cultivation base had improved. Zhang Lie only felt the whistling wind in his ears, and they arrived under the tower not long after.

If you look at it from a distance, this tower just looks weird.Only when he got to the tower, Zhang Lie could feel the suffocating depression, and the faint smell of blood became pungent. Even, I don’t know if it was his illusion, under the whistling wind, Zhang Lie could even hear the whistling wind. The sound of crying—that was the sound made by these human monks thousands of years ago.

On the other hand, the Demon Emperor, facing this tower made up of human monk bones, did not change his expression. He stood by the side, just like usual, and just sighed, "Looking at it now, why bother?!"

Ling glanced at him, but didn't answer, but walked two steps forward to the side of the tower.His hand touched a part of the tower, Zhang Lie couldn't tell any difference from other places, he could only feel the eerie coolness from the palm of his hand into his body.

Then, he heard a crash, like the sound of a broken skeleton, and a small door opened under the tower.

He also said to Zhang Lie in his heart, "I still need to borrow your body, and I will wrong you for a while." Then he turned his head and looked at the stunned Yaohuang, "Let's go."

Zhang Lie also saw the demon emperor's expression, obviously stunned.I'm afraid he would never have imagined that this tower, which suppressed the monster race from invading the human world, could be opened so easily.Zhang Lie guessed that over the past ten thousand years, the Demon Emperor might have tried his best to destroy this tower.

Ling, on the other hand, seemed to be extremely understanding, and did not expose the meaning of the demon emperor's expression, but explained, "This is what I left back then. It was originally intended to add a seal to this tower when I was about to die. They don’t even know that it’s used now, but it’s still there as expected.”

Following his voice, the two entered the first floor of the tower.

The door was closed suddenly, and the tower was obviously dark for a while, and then the flames of the stars ignited, illuminating the entire floor.

Zhang Lie only glanced at it, and his whole body was shaken.From the outside, except for the blood-red appearance, the tower looks not out of line, but inside, there is no shelter. The body of the tower is made entirely of corpses, some of them bare their hands, some of them Feet, more faces are exposed, with resentment, pain, screams, and shouts on them, and each face left their last expression before death.

It's frightening to look at.

Zhang Lie shuddered, it was from the soul.

Ling didn't look at the Yaohuang, so Zhang Lie didn't know the expression of the Yaohuang. He only heard Ling Huan looking at the corpses, and said three words lightly, "Ten thousand years."

Zhang Lie felt that he had something to say, but Ling didn't say anything after all, but walked a few steps forward and said, "Come on."

The tower is empty. From Zhang Lie's point of view, there are no ladders and no place to borrow strength—if those corpses are not counted.He didn't know how the two of them did it, so he felt that his body was gradually flying upwards.

Probably explaining it to him, Zhang Lie heard Ling say, "This tower has [-] floors, and my skull is on the top floor."

Zhang Lie only heard the Demon Emperor say, "You have suffered."

Ling didn't answer, but Zhang Lie only felt a cramping pain in his chest. He knew that it was Ling's emotion. Even though he was so indifferent, he couldn't let go of the pain in his head.

They flew so fast that Zhang Lie could only take a quick glance at the surrounding environment, but he also noticed that the expressions of the dead monks became more indifferent the higher they went.If it is said that on the first floor, it is like hell, and they all look like they died in vain, but when they reach the top, most of their expressions are peaceful.

Zhang Lie heard Ling explain to him in his heart, "They died calmly for the sake of the human race, so they have no complaints or regrets."

Zhang Lie suddenly felt admiration.

No matter when, even if there is a distance of thousands of years, it is always worthy of respect to die calmly for the sake of the people of the country.

Probably it was to let him see clearly, or because the closer they were, the more affection they got, their speed gradually slowed down, and then Zhang Lie's sight suddenly changed, Ling raised his head, and Zhang Lie realized that they Already reached the top of the tower.

Huge, tumbling hatred emanated from Zhang Lie's chest, and even Zhang Lie, a bystander, couldn't bear that feeling of unwillingness and sadness.

He hastily raised his head following Ling's gaze, and his eyes focused on the middle part of the top of the tower. There was a skull inlaid there. Unlike other people with flesh and blood, he was just a skull, all alone. inlaid in the very center.

They finally stopped, and Zhang Lie heard Ling say, "That's me."

Zhang Lie had already guessed it, but when he heard this sentence, his heart began to ache.What Ling experienced back then, I am afraid that no one else can know except himself.But Zhang Lie can judge that under such a huge emotional tumbling, Ling's situation at that time.

It's just that Zhang Lie couldn't comfort him, the emotions that words could soothe were too simple.Of course, the Demon Emperor can't comfort him, he doesn't have that position.

Zhang Lie's gaze could only follow Ling to see the Demon Emperor staring at the bone in a daze, and then tears fell from his eyes.

For some reason, Zhang Lie suddenly thought of a sentence, at least for now, the tears of the Demon Emperor are sincere.

As if Ling was ready, he suddenly said to Zhang Lie in his heart, "I'm leaving, maybe you will hurt, but it's okay, I won't hurt your life. You just watch here quietly , Help me see how this man chooses."

How did Zhang Lie think that it would be so fast, and he wanted to say something immediately.But before he opened his mouth, he felt a stabbing pain in his chest, as if he was digging out his heart and lungs. Even though he was just a spectator now, he felt so uncomfortable that he wanted to roll over.

He also heard Ling say, "Now, let's get started. I hope what you say is true."

All of a sudden, the control of the body returned to Zhang Lie. He saw himself lying and floating in the air, but he couldn't make any movements.Then, visible to the naked eye, a big lump bulged on his chest, pulling it outwards, getting farther and farther away from him amid repeated pains.In the end, he felt his skin being ripped apart, and at the same time as the blood was rushing out, a blood-colored bead flew out from his chest, and after turning around, it landed in the hands of the Demon Emperor.

Zhang Lie was already able to move at this time, he didn't know what method Ling used to keep him from falling in the [-]-story tower, he clutched his chest, and slowly let himself back until he was stuck on the top of the tower. superior.

He clearly saw that the Demon Emperor looked at the dzi bead with fascination.

Zhang Lie only felt that his breathing slowed down, he had no idea what the Demon Emperor would do.Will he be an infatuated person who wants to spend the rest of his life with Ling?Or a liar who wants to overthrow the Tongtian Tower and release the demon clan?

He didn't dare to make any judgments, he could only see that a strange smile slowly bloomed on the face of the Demon Emperor, and his body was constantly rising until he could touch the skull that had been waiting for thousands of years with his own hands.

Zhang Lie felt as if he was suffocating, he begged, put it in, don't let Ling down!put it in!Ling Du is so miserable, he needs someone to really love him!

But the Yaohuang's hand holding the dzi bead didn't move. Instead, he raised his other hand and slowly touched the skull.It was just a skull, but he touched it so earnestly, as if he was stroking his lover's young and moist face, from the brow bone to the eyes to the nose to the mouth, rubbing it carefully, every stroke It is so infatuated, as if the person opposite is still alive, and he is speaking the most beautiful sweet words.

Then, Zhang Lie heard the soft voice, "I'm sorry."
