The heart demon's calm and unwavering expression finally couldn't be maintained any longer, and it was all disintegrated and scattered with a light touch.

Her voice trembled, on the verge of collapse: "Zhitao, please stop treating me like this, I will become more and more greedy."

Xia Zhitao recognized that expression, her heart tightened, she grabbed her wrist involuntarily, and said in panic, "What do you want to do?"

"You don't know, that woman set up a formation, but I am the one supporting the illusion." The demon whispered, "It's all my fault, I can't trap you anymore."

The five tightly packed fingers were suddenly released, and the animal head mask slipped from the fingertips, and fell rapidly downward, falling into the lonely darkness under the cliff.

"...I won't get in the way anymore."

She raised her hand to touch the little tin flower, her fingertips passed over the layers of petals, a small arc suddenly raised between her eyebrows and eyes, and she smiled gently.

Restraining and restraining, it was like a brilliant firework blooming from the night sky. After the enthusiasm and joy reached the extreme, it was burned into pale ashes, and it was difficult to get angry.

"Give me a little time, I will send you out of here and take you out of this illusion."

.

"Well……"

The consciousness gradually became clear, and the first thing she felt was a severe headache.

Qin Zhi tried to open her eyes, but her eyes were pitch black and she couldn't see anything. She subconsciously wanted to stand up, but found that she couldn't move.

The wrist was firmly fixed by the rope, and a finger-wide black silk was covering the face, blocking all sight.

In the drowsiness, it seemed that someone reached out and gently touched his face.

The man's movements were extremely gentle, his cold fingertips stroked the brows, the corners of the eyes, the bridge of the nose, and the sides of the lips, inch by inch, unwilling to let go of every corner.

Qin Zhi turned his head abruptly.

Seeing her resistance, the man seemed to have stopped for a while, and slowly withdrew his hand without continuing to touch it.

Qin Zhi closed his eyes, his mind was still chaotic, his memory was fuzzy, and he could only vaguely capture some fragmentary pictures.

I was discussing matters with Zheng Luoyi, when thick black mist suddenly spread in the room, there was a soft "click", and the cold blade smoothly cut the door bolt, someone walked in and smiled at me— —

Qin Zhi gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "Qin Shu?!"

The person in front of him smiled softly and said softly, "Sister, I thought you wouldn't want to call me by my name."

Qin Zhi struggled hard, trying to mobilize his spiritual power, but his body was so empty that he couldn't feel the flow of spiritual power.

... What, what's going on? !

Qin Shu's voice rang in his ears, very soft and slow, biting a tender favor: "Sister, do you want to leave?"

She chuckled lightly and said, "I ordered the leader to remove your spiritual roots. Now my sister is just an ordinary mortal who can be trapped with a hemp rope."

Qin Zhi suddenly felt powerless, raised his head, and through the blindfolded black silk, his voice was slightly tired: "What exactly do you want?"

"What exactly do I want?" Qin Shu caressed her neck and said casually, "It all depends on whether my sister cooperates."

Qin Zhi was blindfolded and couldn't see the other party's expression, so he could only figure out a trace of the situation from the other party's pretendingly flat voice.

...Qin Shu probably didn't know about that incident back then.

Killing formations is a big taboo in Baihetang, and the young hall master's involvement in killing formations is even more a major matter related to the inheritance of the clan and the face of the clan.Therefore, they covered up the original appearance of the matter, found another reason, and expelled themselves from the house in the name of "stealing".

And Qin Shu was just a child with no memory at that time, and he was the candidate for the next young hall master, so he was naturally kept in the dark.

Qin Zhi thought for a while, and said calmly: "I will not deny that incident when I was a child. It is indeed because I was jealous that I was afraid that you would threaten the status of the young hall master, so I stole the formation map privately."

"I have owed you all these years." Qin Zhi sighed, "But since I was expelled from the house, I should..."

Who knows, after hearing this sentence, Qin Shu's expression became a little colder: "Sister, don't you still understand?"

Qin Zhi couldn't help being stunned, and what Qin Shu said next made her face pale in an instant: "What I have always cared about is not the formation diagram at all."

"If my sister likes it, just say something, even if it's hundreds or thousands of copies, I'm willing to do whatever you want."

Qin Shu stretched his arms around Qin Zhi's neck, hugged her tightly in his arms, pressed against the other's pale ears, and sighed, "Just don't leave me."

... what, what is she talking about?

Qin Zhi was stunned, his eardrums buzzed, and only the words the other party said remained in his mind, his complexion became paler and lost any color.

The blindfolded black silk was carefully removed, and Qin Zhigang regained his sight when he saw a pale smiling face that was five points similar to his own.

"elder sister."

The man called softly, like a spell.

The black silk wraps around the neck in circles, tightly fitting the skin and flesh, trapping the drum pulse like a chain, which makes people feel panic.

Qin Shu grabbed the corner of Hei Ling and said softly, "However, my sister can't help herself, and she really doesn't want to abandon me in her heart, right?"

"Qin Shu, it doesn't have to be like this," Qin Zhi said with difficulty, "I can ask Zheng Luoyi to talk to Yashan..."

"Sister, you still haven't changed at all."

Qin Shu stretched out his hand to touch Qin Zhi's eyebrows, and gently stroked the red corners of his eyes with his fingertips. His light-colored eyes traced his face in detail, and his voice was full of laziness.

She said: "Our good father, and this damn Zongtang, used this trivial matter to drive you out of the house. What kind of young hall master must be upright and aboveboard, without any stain—"

"It's all just excuses." Qin Shu smiled, "They deserve to die."

Even if they are half-brothers, Qin Zhi and Qin Shu, they have the same surname, and they are relatives with the same blood in their bodies.

Qin Zhi committed the crime impulsively back then, just wanting to protect his younger sister, how could he have thought that this would happen.

Qin Shu looked at the other party's astonished expression, but his voice didn't fluctuate too much: "I know, but Baihetang is better to die in the hands of his own clan than to be destroyed, isn't it?"

She sat down beside Qin Zhi, stretched out her hand to flick the wick of the candle, and said softly: "Even if I don't do it, Baihetang will be finished, it's just a matter of time."

Qin Zhi remained silent, and Qin Shu didn't care. He just waited for the sky to gradually light up in the illusion, and a few light beams of light burst out from the border.

The candlelight on the table was flickering non-stop, and with a soft "chi" sound, it still extinguished itself.

"What's going on?" Qin Shu rushed to the window sill and opened it suddenly.

The sky in the distance no longer extends, and countless black gaps spread out, layering and spreading like spider webs.

The progress was slow at first, but the closer it got to the top of Qiling, the faster the rate of collapse became.

The azure sky was split by the darkness, and it was separated and scattered without sound, and the boundary began to gradually collapse, and the fragments fell one after another, disappearing into the void.

"It's her again." Qin Shu's voice was cold. "It's really a fate. I can escape from death every time. Now I can shake that demon, but I take it lightly."

Seeing the illusion gradually collapsed, Qin Shu's expression did not change much. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the black silk, forcing Qin Zhi to look at him, his eyebrows and eyes frowned: "Don't worry, this matter is not over yet."

"Once the collapse of the illusion is revealed, someone will come to take over and erase the existence of Baihetang. And Zhang Kuang is already an abandoned child, I just need to hand her over to that person."

With a careless voice, she put away the pen, ink and rice paper on the table, gently rubbed the corner of Qin Zhi's eyes with her fingertips, and said with a smile:

"Sister, let's go."

.

The darkness overwhelmed the sky, swallowing the entire illusion in the blink of an eye, and the pupils of the eyes seemed to be filled with fog, and all the sight was behind.

As if stepping over the boundary of the cliff, the whole person suddenly fell into space, the sound of the wind blew past his ears, layers of cold fog passed through his eyebrows and eyes, and then his breathing stopped suddenly, and his body hit the rough ground.

"Cough, cough cough—"

Xia Zhitao opened his eyes suddenly, his chest was congested for a while, and he coughed intermittently several times before he recovered.

The scene in front of him was strange yet familiar, the water in the deep ink pool was calm, white mist filled the surface of the pool, curled with wet and cold water vapor, pouring into the pulse along the sleeves, sending chills down the spine.

She looked around, not far away was Jin Li who was lying with her eyes closed, and a little far away at the edge of the pool, there was Zheng Luo Yi who had just woken up with a dazed expression.

Are they out of the illusion? !

Xia Zhitao was both surprised and delighted, she quickly stumbled to her feet, stretched out her hand to push Jinli: "Jinli, Jinli!!"

She shook it for a long time before Jin Li woke up slowly, opened her eyes to see the deserted Wuxiangtan cave, and wailed: "Where is my little cart, where is the money I have worked so hard to get? Gone??"

Xia Zhitao: "..."

Jin Li struggled to get up, hugged Xia Zhitao's arm and began to cry: "It's too much, woo woo woo, my feelings have been deceived."

Seeing that she was full of energy, her voice was loud and loud, she seemed to be all right, and it made me worry for nothing.

Xia Zhitao said indifferently: "Go on crying, I'm leaving first."

Jin Li sniffed, shed her tears, and quickly followed Xia Zhitao's footsteps.The two met Zheng Luo Yi, and the other party hurriedly confirmed that the two girls were safe, and then he was relieved.

"It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. You follow me back and bring the two senior brothers," Zheng Luo Yi said concentratingly, "You must leave the White Crane Hall as soon as possible and report back to Yashan."

Jinli said "Oh", but Xia Zhitao was a little uneasy, and said cautiously: "Master, I have some things that I can't let go of, and I may have to part ways with you—we will meet again later, is that okay?"

"You want to go back and find Zhang Kuang?"

Zheng Luo Yi frowned: "Master knows your heart palpitations, but the leader should be fine, it's better for you to follow me."

Xia Zhitao was stunned by the words, she clasped her five fingers guiltily, and whispered: "But..."

She wanted to give a reason, but after thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Kuangren, a powerful man close to the stage of transforming into a god, and the leader of the Demon Cult sitting on the peaks of Qiling Mountains, seemed to have no chance for a Golden Core cultivator to worry about.

Xia Zhitao was a little speechless, Jin Li patted her on the shoulder, pretended to cough twice, and thundered when she opened her mouth.

I just heard her expressive voice, and she said: "Master, the younger sister and the leader are in perfect harmony, and the husband and wife are deeply affectionate. If you insist on breaking them up, won't you become a cruel person who beats the couple?"

Zheng Luoyi: "..."

Xia Zhitao: "...If you use idioms indiscriminately again, be careful that I will kick you directly into Wuxiang Pond."

Jin Liyu said earnestly: "Junior Sister, I also fell asleep in the literature lecture, you have to praise me for being able to say such literary words."

She squeezed her eyes at the little red fish beside her, and the little red fish leisurely swam to Xia Zhitao's side and spit out a string of bubbles.

"Xiaohong borrowed from you, you go to the leader," Jin Li yelled while pushing Zheng Luoyi away, "We will meet in front of the main hall of Baihe after that!"

Zheng Luo Yi couldn't resist them, rubbed the brows, and stuffed Xia Zhitao with a life-saving charm, only to be dragged away by Jin Li.

Xia Zhitao followed Little Red Fish to the opposite position of the two, followed the path they came to, and returned to the secret room.

The stacked bibliography moved slightly, and the scary Zhang Lan mask on the table disappeared. Xia Zhitao felt a small switch in the corner, and with a strong push, the stone door opened with a bang.

Unexpectedly, before she walked out of the stone gate, a puff of pungent smoke rushed towards her face, wrapped in the smell of scorching flames, causing her to stagger back a step.

"The water is gone, the water is gone—!"

Messy sounds poured into the auricles, footsteps came in an intricate manner, accompanied by screams, roars, and shouts, countless voices densely filled the corridor, hitting the heart like a heavy hammer.

"Where is the master of the young hall, have you found it?"

"What's going on, the outer formation is completely out of control?!"

Xia Zhitao poked out half of her head, and many white crane guards ran past her, all of them looked panic-stricken, and rushed towards Danzhushi in a hurry.

She accidentally bumped into some of them, but the situation seemed even more terrifying. The guards clearly recognized her as a person from Yashan, but they didn't care, took a glance and left in a hurry.

——What happened to Baihetang?

Xia Zhitao was a little uneasy, but Xiaohongyu was calm, and led her in the opposite direction of the guards, walked down the long corridor quickly, and came to the Hall of Sound and Rain.

Compared with the hustle and bustle of people before, the Shengyutang seemed extraordinarily quiet.

The noise was isolated from the outside, and the high hall was cold and quiet, with countless wind duo hanging high above the dome, with sharp edges hanging down like blades.

Xia Zhitao still wondered why Little Red Fish brought her here, but when she opened the door and went in, she saw a familiar figure that made her teeth itch with hatred.

A white dress like water spread out, looking pale and slumped on the dark bamboo and wood.

Qin Shu knelt on the high platform, holding a blood-stained white feather lantern in his arms, with a dull expression, and whispered something in a helpless voice.

Although she knew that there were many entanglements between the sisters of the Qin family and she couldn't help herself, Xia Zhitao really couldn't feel sympathy for this person who kept Zhang Kuang in an illusion and tried to kill him many times.

"...you came out."

Qin Shu looked at Xia Zhitao, his dilated pupils seemed to finally have focus, "However, even if the illusion collapses, you will still die here."

Xia Zhitao noticed that her black hair was disheveled, her body was covered with bloodstains, and her arms were grimly wounded, but she was holding on to the white feather lantern tightly, unwilling to let go no matter what.

"The real fire of Jiumei ignited the white mist of the maze, and the Zongtang's formation was completely out of control. Without the guiding soul lamp, everyone in the White Crane Hall would burn to death here one by one."

Qin Shu laughed wantonly, and his voice was hoarse: "I know that man is holding back, but I didn't expect him to be so ruthless."

"In other words, you are just a pawn," Xia Zhitao said coldly, "Who is the person who instructed you?"

Qin Shu hugged the lantern, caressing the edge with five fingers affectionately, and said casually: "It's the end of the road anyway, why should I tell you?"

"...So, you don't know either."

Xia Zhitao smiled, and said: "From the beginning to the end, he was only played with in the palm of his hand. After the plan was revealed, he was rejected and abandoned. It's really sad."

Agitated by the words, Qin Shu's pale face blushed a little, but soon he sat down slumped and said, "This is the end of the matter, what else can I say."

"For example, can you tell me where Zhang Kuang is?"

Xia Zhitao walked up to her, pressed his five fingers tightly on Jiyan's scabbard, and asked word by word: "Where is she trapped by you?"

Seeing Qin Shu's silence, Xia Zhitao lowered his head and glanced at the white feather lantern being held in his arms. With a clear understanding, he took out a slightly old file with yellowed edges from his arms.

She handed it to Qin Shu: "Remember this?"

Qin Shu suddenly opened his eyes wide, unbelievable, and tremblingly said: "This...how are you...wrong, why did Qin Zhi keep it..."

What Xia Zhitao took out was naturally the dossier she had found from Qin Zhi's study before, and it was also the killing map that caused her to be expelled from Baihetang a long time ago.

"This formation map was made by you back then. Although it was later stolen by Master privately, but as an outsider, I don't understand the layout, arrangement and combination of the formation, but the young master—"

Xia Zhitao said softly, "You know it in your heart."

Qin Shu took the file tremblingly, stroked the yellowed rice paper with five fingers, his eyes were bloodshot, his lips became paler, but he was bitten forcibly.

Beads of blood dripped from the wound on the arm and hit the faded black ink, like a cluster of plum blossoms on the branches.

Xia Zhitao said: "Young hall master, as a disciple of Yashan, I shouldn't speculate on the mind of the master, but I think that no matter what Qin Zhi thinks and hopes, it will not be what you are now."

Speaking harshly, Qin Shu kept saving the formation map, arched his body, and said in a hoarse voice: "...it shouldn't be...it shouldn't be like this, my sister shouldn't die, I never thought of killing her. "

When she was young, she hated the rules and regulations of the Zongtang, yearning to be unrestrained, but now when she suddenly looked back, she found that she had gone for so long, so far, and could not turn back.

Xia Zhitao sighed silently in his heart, and his voice slowed down a bit: "If you don't want the junior and disciples that Master cares about to be buried here together, then tell me where Zhang Kuang is?"

Qin Shu didn't say anything, but looked at the blueprint in his hand silently. The dark red blood spread layer by layer, and the color was lightened a little by colorless tears.

The fire intensified, and there was no room for hesitation. Xia Zhitao saw that the other party was silent, and turned around to leave, but just as he ran to the gate, a weak voice came from behind:

"……wrong."

Xia Zhitao turned around in astonishment, and saw Qin Shu hanging his head, as if he had opened some mechanism, the stone wall in the high hall rumbled, and a narrow passage was opened.

Although he was uneasy, but there was no time to hesitate, Xia Zhitao nodded slightly, and rushed into the secret passage, while the little red fish wobbled after her.

Outside the Hall of Sound and Rain, the flames burst into the cold hall with great momentum, and all the dark bamboo and wood were engulfed in the thick smoke.

"Sister, I..."

Qin Shu made a sound in a trance, and the hot flames licked her knuckles. She could no longer hold the lantern tightly in her arms, and with a tremor, the white feather lantern fell to the ground with a clang and fell into the flames.

The raging fire engulfed the bamboo and wood, leading a huge family to an irreversible end.

"I don't want to, sister, I'm sorry."

Qin Shu couldn't hold back her emotions anymore, she reached out her hand to pick up the powder, but she couldn't grasp anything, and it leaked from her fingers like snowflakes.

"I hate you, I blame you, I annoy you, but I never thought of harming you."

Tears fell into the flames, and evaporated without a trace in an instant, her long eyelashes were scorched into pitch-black embers, and she was sobbing uncontrollably.

"He promised me that he would lure you away from Zhihe Peak. I didn't know that Nan Ke Yao would get out of control. I thought you would be fine, sister, I..."

It is said that when a person is about to die, one can see one's own life in a flash, but where she can see, there are only clear fire and embers scattered all over the ground.

The pale powder spread all over the ground, gently covering up some scalding temperature and scorching fire, but it was unable to stop the fire from spreading.

.

The secret passage was too lengthy, and because of various reasons she couldn't control the sword, Xia Zhitao rushed in in a hurry.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the deep road finally came to an end, and a biting cold air spread from the end, blowing towards his face, making Xia Zhitao shiver uncontrollably.

An extremely large and complex formation came into view, with countless overlapping circles overlapping each other, and the walls were covered with strange spells, occupying the entire underground space.

——Qin Shu hid the entire killing array under the White Crane Hall.

Although Xia Zhitao knew little about formations, the huge formation in front of him had a cold aura similar to that of Nan Ke Yao, which made people feel a little creepy.

Due to the collapse of the illusion, the formation has already lost its effect, but the subtlety of the layout and design can still be seen.

In the center of the formation, lay a person.

The man was dressed in thin black clothes, and his pillow was on the cold gravel. His long black hair hung down his shoulders and scattered on the ground.

She curled up, her arms were brought together in front of her, and Fang Wumoshi cuffed her wrists tightly, binding her pale muscles and bones, and imprisoning her blue pulse.

The little red fish flicked its tail fin, Xia Zhitao avoided the chaotic lines and various layout spells, knelt down beside her, and reached out to hug her.

"Crazy, crazy?" Xia Zhitao called out softly, wrapping her arms around Zhang Kuang's neck.

The other party fell unconscious in his arms, his long hair spreading like a dark cloud, cascading down his arms, filled with a cool scent of hibiscus flowers.

"It's okay, it's okay," Xia Zhitao hugged her, clearly knowing that the other party couldn't hear her, but still comforted her softly, "...I'll take you out."

Zhang Kuang's breath was soft, his heartbeat was weak, bandages were messily wrapped around his neck and arms, faintly bleeding sporadic blood.

Xia Zhitao has never been so thankful that she did not follow Zheng Luoyi, but stubbornly wanted to come to her.

So, she did find it.

Zhang Kuang was hugged in her arms, nestling on her shoulders like a cat, his long and thin eyelashes were tightly closed, casting sparse shadows on his pale cheeks.

It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, but in this life-and-death situation, Xia Zhitao hugged the leader, and suddenly began to struggle with a century-old problem:

When Zhang Kuang was unconscious, would she drag him and carry him, or would she simply hug the princess?

What if someone wakes up halfway?
