When the devil

[Two hours ago Yudu Xitingshan]

The wind was strong on the mountain, Gu Xuancheng pushed open the door of the dormitory, and the snow was blown into the room.

Candles lit along the screen flickered violently, flickering in the shadows of the backlight.

The pale sky and the shadow of falling snow mottled alternately, enveloping Yue Erzhen's figure in the light of nothingness.Looking in from the door, she was wearing a plain white thick fur robe, pinching the hairpin with her fingertips, poking into the scattered long hair little by little.

The copper reflects her face, her makeup is enchanting, and her red lips are like blood.

"Mother's queen." Gu Xuancheng didn't go over, he closed the door, but he didn't take off the snow-stained cloak, he seemed unwilling to stay here for a long time.

Yue Erzhen turned her head and showed a gentle smile: "Xuan'er, come here, come to me."

Gu Xuancheng continued as if he didn't hear it: "Father Emperor's Soul Suppression has ended, it's almost time, let son-in-law accompany mother to go down the mountain."

Yue Erzhen's smile stiffened for a moment, and the corners of her mouth slowly dropped.

Fruits were placed in a mess on the table in front of her, some were already moldy, some rolled down, were crushed by something, and the skin and flesh ooze on the floor.

Gu Xuancheng said: "For these few days, the queen mother has not shown up even once, and the court is full of suspicions. It is really not a solution."

"No." Yue Erzhen turned around, her eyes became extremely disappointed: "He won't die so easily."

She obviously wears pretty makeup, and her hair is disheveled.

Gu Xuancheng took a deep breath, and said softly in a semi-cold and semi-helpless tone: "Physician Xue said long ago that my father is sick and weak, and won't survive this winter."

"Mr. Xue, Mr. Xue—" Yue Erzhen smiled coquettishly, "He is so brave that he dared to betray me. Did he use some crooked ways to make Gu Xiao look dead, but it is possible Live again."

She doesn't look right, it's uncomfortable to watch.

"No." Gu Xuancheng dismissed her calmly: "Gu Xiao is a mortal body. He died and turned into ashes. Now even his soul has been suppressed. He will not come back to life, nor will he turn into a ghost to disturb your purity again. .”

"Will not!!!"

Yue Erzhen screamed suddenly, her slender, white fingers randomly grabbed the table, caught the burnt candlestick, and threw it towards Gu Xuancheng with bloodshot eyes.

The candlestick flew in the air, and was immediately shattered by a ray of light. On the other side of the screen, Yuan Chun was sitting cross-legged on the window rail, with a gloating smile on his face.

"Xuan'er, you actually brought her to Xiting Mountain?" Yue Erzhen pointed at Yuan Chun, "Did you forget that no one is allowed to come near this place except those who are allowed by Gu Xiao."

Yuan Chun snorted, as if frustrated: "Hey, empress, last time you asked me to go to Yaoyu to help you with errands, that's not the attitude."

After saying this, Yuan Chun knew that he was talking too much, Gu Xuancheng glanced at her quietly, his eyes were dull, like a pool of stagnant water.

This look is really scary, Yuan Chun's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately turned his head to the window to look at the scenery.

The silence continued eerily.

"Okay, Queen Mother, let's talk on the road if you have something to say." Gu Xuancheng walked forward, holding the steel fan in his right hand, and patted his right hand lightly: "You are now in charge of the power of Zhaoyang. The Great Ceremony is over, and when I ascend the throne, your nightmare is finally over."

Yue Erzhen looked up at him, was silent for a moment, then shook her head repeatedly and said, "I'm not going anywhere."

Gu Xuancheng was puzzled: "Why?"

"I don't believe it, it's impossible, Gu Xiao is not dead, I don't believe it."

Yue Erzhen stepped back abruptly, bumped into the table, and the fruit rolled to the ground. She seemed to be frightened, and babbled intermittently and stopped abruptly. Then she looked up and found that the clothes Gu Xuancheng was wearing were different from usual. He always dressed plainly, but today he was wearing court clothes in his cloak, and he was holding an iron sword used by soldiers in his hand.

"Queen, do you think he is really willing to play such boring games with you? This is Zhaoyang, and you will be from the East until your death."

Yue Erzhen's hands were trembling, her fingers were on the back of her hand, and her nails were stuck in the unhealed wound. She looked at Gu Xuancheng indifferently, and said word by word: "What are you?"

The magic circle on the wrist permeates light little by little.

But soon, the light went out.

Yue Erzhen only felt that her wrist was cold and empty. She lowered her head to look, and saw a black shadow crawling on her arm. The hand part was gone, and the flesh and blood were clean, leaving a bare cut surface.

"I was raised by you...my son." Gu Xuancheng smiled bitterly.

"Your Highness, what happened just now, I seem to feel the aura of a demon." Yuan Chun didn't see what happened, she frowned seriously and whispered.

Gu Xuancheng looked at Yue Erzhen's pale face, and said sympathetically, "That's the monster-recruiting array prepared by my mother for many years, and it was engraved on her hand. It's a pity that she hasn't been able to—"

"Ah ah ah ah...!"

The next moment, Yue Erzhen's arm was also swallowed by the shadow, she screamed and covered her arm, her eyes were bloodshot and tears welled up.

Now Yuan Chun could see clearly, and his small face turned pale instantly.

Gu Xuancheng had already walked to her side, without words or touch, he looked at her condescendingly, with some emptiness in his eyes.

After a long silence, Gu Xuancheng raised the sword in his hand——

With a "snap", the sharp sword cut through the scalp, and the blood soaked through the hair and sprayed on the bronze mirror.

Yuan Chun was startled, shuddered, turned over on the window rail, and jumped out.

Yue Erzhen's pupils dilated, her body slammed forward, she let out a scream from her throat, and turned her head in horror, but all she could see was the blade of the sword was stained with blood, slashing at her again.

The door latch fell, and the bedroom fell into silence.

The blood spread, the strange light, twisting constantly.

The black smoke condensed into thin blue beads, fell on the ground, and rolled down to Gu Xuancheng's feet.

He watched silently, and then, a strange black water diffused from the ground, popping up with a gurgling, stretching out countless small white hands, scrambling to grab the bead, crushing it, crushing it, and doing it again Swallowed cleanly into the black shadows.

……

【Yudu South Gate】

"Crack-"

"Kakaka-"

Countless corpses were piled up to form huge black waves, which came madly with piercing and silent roars, and the earth trembled amidst the dense squeezing sounds, as if the world had been reduced to purgatory.

"Why are there so many?"

Wei Ling couldn't believe it.

…The corpses crawled out one after another, as if the ground made them a hotbed, swelling the ground into uneven potholes one after another, struggling, tearing, and advancing one after another.

"Xia Zhou, can you feel these things—"

Wei Ling turned her head when she was talking, but she saw Xia Zhou's expression was slightly concentrated, and he just looked to the south in a daze, ignoring the filth that came indiscriminately.

"Xia Zhou?"

Wei Ling sensed something was wrong, and immediately approached him, Xia Zhou was speechless, the luster in his eyes flickered and then dimmed, as if ferocity had arisen for no reason, his pupils narrowed like a beast.

"...A Ling, don't come here."

He only left these words, took two steps back, and suddenly his figure turned into a black cloud of smoke, rushing towards the city at an extremely fast speed.

It was useless for Wei Ling to call him, almost instantly, he guessed that there must be something wrong with Xia Zhou's demon nature, but at the moment Xia Zhou's contract is not on him, except for feeling Xia Zhou's aura fluctuations by relying on immortal methods, other Nowhere to be found.

There is only one answer—something happened to Yue Erzhen.

The place Xia Zhou looked at was Xiting Mountain in the south.

Wei Ling wanted to stop him, but Xia Zhou's speed was too fast, the black smoke scattered and disappeared in the air, and he couldn't even find his way to leave.

Countless corpses formed waves, and the soldiers who resisted in front were like sand and stones swallowed by the huge tide of the sea. They were swallowed up in the blink of an eye, and desperate wailing came and went, like a nightmare, like the brutal scene of the Battle of the East.

"Xianzun!" Xue Qingqing called him: "It's the gate of hell, someone has awakened... the gate of hell!"

Wei Ling was startled, he thought that Xue Qingqing came here casually, but when he looked closely, he saw that the ground where the corpses were located had already been filled with filth and mud, dead white figures crawled out from inside, howling and struggling Then, countless small hands densely gathered together, like the moonlight reflected on the black lake.

Unprecedented fear ran through his thoughts, Wei Ling looked into the distance, but couldn't see the edge.

Hellgate has grown to this extent.

Gu Xuancheng——

Gu Xuancheng! !

Wei Ling quickly pulled out the Wangchuan Sword from his waist, and swiped it towards his palm. The blood stained in an instant turned into a light curse, wrapping around the entire body of the sword. He threw the sword into the air, put his hands together, and slowly Slowly open a barrier.

The wound just now was deep, and the blood soaked his wrist, staining his sleeves red.

Just look at the Wangchuan sword churning and thrusting into the ground, a circle of white light spread out in a huge arc along the city gate, and the mud hit it, like boiling water rushing, shaking the light lines on the barrier to shine.

Wei Ling frowned, turned around to chase Xia Zhou, but saw Xue Qingqing standing in front of him.

Xue Qingqing said: "Now is not the time."

Wei Ling looked at her quietly.

Xue Qingqing said again: "He is already crazy, if I disturb him now, I'm afraid the consequences will be disastrous..."

Who is he.

What exactly is Xue Qingqing talking about?

Xue Qingqing was trying hard to control her emotions, and she seemed to be hiding something, but it was inconvenient for her to speak clearly at this moment.

Wei Ling looked at her quietly, without any hesitation in her heart.Finding Xia Zhou was the only thing he had to do now.

"My barrier can last at least one hour." He raised his hand, Wang Chuanjian pulled out of the barrier, and returned it to his hand: "Mortal people are no match for the gate of hell, you retreat to the north, and the matter of evil spirits is handed over to Tai Li hospital."

Xue Qingqing hurried forward, hesitating to speak, but Wei Ling had no time to delay, his figure was like the setting sun in the daytime, he stepped up into the air in a slack, and headed towards Xiting Mountain.

The surrounding soldiers came up and looked at Xue Qingqing anxiously.

"Chasing." Xue Qingqing gave a low voice, the softness in his eyes disappeared, leaving only indifference.

【Yutu Xiting Mountain】

Outside the palace, heavy snow turned the world into a piece of pure white.

That's why those messy piles of corpses and blood look so dazzling.

Yu Wanfeng stood under the steps, his smile was warm.

"Unfortunately, she didn't understand until she died. From the beginning to the end, she locked herself in it herself."

As if he was born with it, the breath of death shrouded around Yu Wanfeng, and every word he said carried a rising chill.

"Your Highness, I really admire you."

When they passed each other, Yu Wanfeng lowered his gaze, and his voice became a little unnaturally gentle.

Gu Xuancheng slowed down and stopped beside Yu Wanfeng: "Have you found Gu Yuan?"

The corner of Yu Wanfeng's mouth raised slightly: "Young King is always in the palace, so there is no need to look for it."

Hearing these words, Gu Xuancheng blinked his dull eyes, as if he had found a spot of light in an instant, but it was just tossed around, and soon sank into the pitch-black swamp.

"He's very worried about you." Yu Wanfeng laughed: "If Your Highness feels uncomfortable, why not go see him."

"No hurry." Gu Xuancheng turned his gaze coldly: "There is still a guest."

When he finished speaking, black mist suddenly dispersed around him, and with the strange breath, the mist began to gather again, and soon, the black mist turned into a night-like robe and fluttered in the wind.Xia Zhou was quiet in the heavy snow, his fine eyes were emotionless, as if a pure and clear chill was enveloping him.

Gu Xuancheng, who was standing opposite him, seemed to have expected his appearance long ago, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

"I thought that only my master could make you so anxious." Gu Xuancheng said, "Why, you also have feelings for my mother?"

Looking at the corpses all over the ground in the snow, Xia Zhou asked, "Did you kill her?"

"Yes." Gu Xuancheng stretched out his hand, holding some black smoky powder in his hand, just waved it lightly in the wind and snow, and it disappeared without a trace.

Xia Zhou said: "Just to take away the panacea of ​​Canglin?"

"Yeah, who told me to be quite afraid of you." Gu Xuancheng smiled, and slowly couldn't move forward: "Nowadays, you are the only monster in the city who can't be controlled, and can restrain the gate of hell."

Xia Zhou's body felt a little cold, and his chest felt tight.

Yu has a demon sealing formation.At first Xia Zhou was fearless relying on his high demon power, but now that Yue Erzhen died, his demon power was interrupted, and the influence of the demon sealing formation was immediately manifested.

It was he who underestimated the enemy.

Yue Erzhen was so miserable that even her own flesh and blood couldn't contain it.

Or, the person in front of me...is no longer the Gu Xuancheng who is related to Yue Erzhen by blood.

Xia Zhou trusted his sense of smell. He had noticed the strange smell on Gu Xuancheng's body long ago. He met him once on the way back to Yudu. How can I put it... at least at that time he could barely be considered a person.

The gates of hell have already swallowed him completely.

Gu Xuancheng stared at Xia Zhou for a moment, and said, "Actually, we get along quite well."

Xia Zhou remained silent.

Gu Xuancheng added: "You and I both feed on curses and are tabooed by the world."

In the severe cold of the wind and snow, Xia Zhou's figure was somewhat blurred, like a cloud of smoke blown away by the wind, or like the endless coldness in the lake at night.

Gu Xuancheng clenched the steel fan in his hand, killing intent arose in his eyes: "You and I both have the same desire for Wei Xianzun..."

The black smoke billowed up, and in the blink of an eye Xia Zhou had already arrived in front of Gu Xuancheng.

The blood-red demonic light bloomed in the sky, and the world was reduced to darkness. The wind and snow seemed to have stagnated, turning into sharp blades in the strange demonic aura, floating in the sky and earth, surrounding the figures of the two.

"梼杌, what are you afraid of? Do you think you can forget something you have tasted? Hahahahahahahahaha."

Gu Xuancheng's face was reflected in Xia Zhou's blood-red eyes.

Yu Wanfeng next to him secretly felt something was wrong, and quickly backed away.Instead, black shadows squirmed from under Gu Xuancheng's feet, like dark clouds obliterating the sun, and the entire Xiting Mountain turned into pitch black in an instant.

The cold wind seems to have stopped, only the heavy snow is constantly falling.
