C133 If the Shadow Appears

Not far behind them, there's a stone pillar that looks straight now. It was no different from the other pillars, but after Murong Ke pulled the bottom of the altar, the situation changed.

The pillar began to tilt slowly, and the surrounding floors made a path for it. Murong Ke knew that this must be the passageway to the pillar downstairs. As long as he could pass through this passageway, he should be able to get out.

He was the first to walk over and pat the pillar. Sure enough, it was hollow. A door gradually appeared on the pillar. This door was originally one with the pillar, but at this moment, it had already revealed a small gap. Murong Ke pulled the door over.

The inside of the door was pitch black, but what surprised him was that. . . Not long after the door opened, the interior of the pillar gradually lit up. The light seemed to shine from every layer. He looked around and found that the pillar was round and round. However, underneath the door was a staircase made of cast iron.

Everyone followed Murong Ke into the pillar. The pillar was very long, and it took them an hour to walk to the end. Although there was light at the bottom, it was not from the bottom. So the road here seemed to be dead.

However, Murong Ke was not discouraged. He knew that he was only one step away from getting out. He touched the surrounding walls with his bare hands, looking for a special place. The walls were still round and round, and even the places that were supposed to be stairs had become slippery.

After searching for a while, Murong Ke sighed. Someone sighed and said, "Only one more step. Is there really no other way? Could this be our destiny? "

At this moment, Zuo Xiping realized that there was something special under his feet. He squatted down and took a closer look. It turned out that there was a huge compass under his feet! This compass was enough to carry the weight of over a hundred people, and the words on it were very clear.

Zuo Xiping became excited all of a sudden. He kept climbing up and down on the ground, checking the secrets of the compass. Everyone thought he had gone crazy because he couldn't get out. Just as they were about to stop him, he laughed and said, "There's a way!"

Murong Ke went forward and asked, "Oh? Senior, have you found any clues?" Zuo Xiping nodded, but then he frowned again. "There is indeed a way. According to the divination under his feet, there were two ways to open the door. But I am sure that there is only one way that is correct "

" What about the other way? " Murong Ke asked.

Zuo Xiping looked serious. "There is another way, it should be a mechanism. Maybe after activating that mechanism, we will all die here. "

Murong Ke took a deep breath and said slowly, "Is there no way to find out the real method? This kind of bet is too risky. "

"That's right. The risk is too great. We only have half a chance to walk out. So, it depends on everyone. If you are willing, I will choose one. Life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are determined by the heavens. If you're unwilling, we'll give up on this path and go back to find a way out. " Zuo Xiping spoke word by word, but his palms were already sweating.

He knew that if the other party set this trap, they would definitely not leave any way out anywhere else. This place could be used to trap those who wanted to escape, and it could also be used to facilitate the escape of his own people. It was truly an ingenious design that was blessed by the heavens. If this place wasn't the exit, then they could really give up on looking for the exit.

Murong Ke didn't say anything else. This kind of decision wasn't something he could make alone. He still had a glimmer of hope for another exit, so if everyone decided to look for another exit, he would absolutely have no objections.

For a moment, everyone fell into an argument. Some people decided to stay, but there were still some who decided to go up, because the risk was too high. At this time, a person slowly walked out of the crowd.

Murong Cheng walked past the crowd and stood beside Zuo Xiping. He said coldly: "There is no other way. Besides this place, we can only wait for death. "

When everyone heard this, they all sucked in a breath of cold air. However, they all knew in their hearts that what he said was the truth.

"Then let's do it like this! Brother Zuo, I'll leave everything to you!" Wu Daozi looked at Zuo Xiping and gave him a firm and trusting look. Zuo Xiping then looked at the crowd. The voices of opposition in the crowd gradually quieted down. They knew that Murong Cheng's decision would not be wrong.

In the past, although Murong family was also a swordswoman, their reputation was one of the best in Gusu City. However, no one had been able to lead the heroes. Murong Ying had a heroic spirit, and his martial arts was not bad either. However, compared to the rising stars of the Gusu City, he was slightly inferior. Therefore, he could only accomplish one thing. He could not lead the outstanding martial artists together.

His eldest son, Murong Bai, could be considered the number one hero. Back then, his status in the Godly Knife Sect was almost on par with Dugu Kuang's. The two of them had been fighting for ten years because of this. In the entire martial arts world, Murong Bai's status was also very famous. He was powerful enough to shake the entire martial arts world. Unfortunately, he died young.

It was said that he died of depression after losing to Dugu Kuang. No one knew the details. Ever since then, the Murong family had been keeping a low profile and keeping a low profile. This was because there was no one in the Murong family who could shoulder the responsibility of the family.

After this incident, two figures that could shake the entire martial arts world appeared at the same time in the Murong family. One was the Great Desert King, Murong Cheng, and the other was the young Murong Ke.

If nothing unexpected happened, after these people left, the Dugu family would disappear from the Gusu City and be replaced by the Murong family. From now on, the Murong family would be the sole ruler of the Gusu City, and no one would be a match for them. Furthermore, their status in the martial world would become very popular overnight, which would allow the entire Gusu to gain a foothold in the Martial Forest Alliance.

Everyone was filled with hope for the future of the Gusu. Although the path was very difficult, it didn't matter. As long as there was a direction, the process was just a lubricant for success.

Zuo Xiping held his breath and pressed his left hand on the Kun hexagram. Then, he twisted the Kan hexagram on his right hand. The ground suddenly shook. Zuo Xiping knew that there was no turning back. He gritted his teeth and cursed. "F * ck me! Fight!"

No one had ever heard this old man scold someone. It turned out that even a serious person could scold someone. At this critical moment, some people from the Paradise Sect couldn't help but laugh. However, they were immediately stopped by the nervous gazes of the people around them.

Zuo Xiping was twisting the divination on the ground. As time passed, more and more changes appeared on the ground, but the pillar didn't change at all. Murong Ke took a deep breath and wanted to ask what was going on, but was stopped by Murong Cheng. "Let Mr. Zuo think about it alone. "

Zuo Xiping stopped what he was doing. He sat on the ground and stared at the pattern on the ground with a frown. Suddenly, he widened his eyes and looked at the Qian hexagram in front of him. His hands were shaking, as if this was the key to unlocking the secret.

Murong Ke and the others were sweating. Only Murong Cheng saw it very lightly. His expression did not change at all. After a long time, Zuo Xiping's finger finally touched the hexagram. His whole body seemed to have been electrocuted. He shivered all over. Everyone else also shivered.

Someone complained. Quick! If we don't press it down, we won't be killed by the mechanism, but we'll be scared to death by you!" Zuo Xiping was in a difficult position because he controlled the lives of more than a hundred men in the martial arts world. Not to mention that they were the high leaders of the big sects, even if they were ordinary people, it was enough for him to think for half a day.

If he died, then so be it! Anyway, there was no way back. Thinking of this, Zuo Xiping took a deep breath and injected all the strength in his body into his fingers, pressing down. He slowly opened his eyes. He was so excited that he almost cried. The mechanism was not activated. The door opened! This was the Gate of Life. They had finally been saved.

Most of them rushed out excitedly. Zuo Xiping knelt on the ground alone. He held his hands on the ground and shed tears of excitement. He was grateful for his judgment. He also heaved a sigh of relief for all the martial artists. Murong Ke walked forward and patted him on the shoulder. He said indifferently, "It's all in the past now, Senior Zuo. If I don't get out now, I'm afraid that this mechanism will be triggered. "

Although this was a joke, Zuo Xiping didn't treat it as a joke. He hurriedly got up and called for the people who hadn't gone out yet to quickly go out. It was very possible that this was a double mechanism, but it was not time yet.

If he had escaped, after opening the door for a while, the opponent would have chased him here and waited for the time to activate the mechanism. That wasn't impossible.

Everyone cheered and cheered. Someone shouted in shock: "Everyone, look! Who is this?"

Everyone rushed forward, and the person standing at the very front widened their eyes in shock. The people standing at the back continued to push forward. They saw Dugu Kuang sleeping soundly in front of the stone pillar. There was a person lying not far from him. This man was obviously dead, but his identity was very special. He was actually the wealthy Shen Dongyang, the Great Wealth Master of Shen Family!

Dugu Kuang had yet to awaken. From the blood stains on his body, it could be seen that he had suffered some serious injuries. Judging from the current situation, it was very likely that the two of them were having a duel here. Dugu Kuang had a slight advantage and killed Shen Dongyang!

Murong Ke squeezed through the crowd and walked to the front. He looked at Shen Dongyang who was lying on the side in shock. His heart was in turmoil. Wasn't this the Shen Villa Lord who had taken care of him a few days ago? Now, he was lying in front of him just like that. For a moment, Murong Ke could not accept it.

"What's going on with them? Could it be that Shen Villa Lord was killed by him?" Someone asked.

"Isn't it obvious?! Dugu Kuang was Dugu Xiu's father. How could he not know what Dugu Xiu had done? Now I think that Shen Villa Lord discovered his plot and stopped him here. Who would have thought that he would be killed by him! How pitiful! " The voices of the onlookers were getting louder and louder.

Dugu Kuang, who was still sound asleep, was woken up. Dugu Kuang narrowed his eyes and looked up at the crowd. He was too tired and needed to rest, so he did not stand up to greet those familiar people.

The people present were very dissatisfied with his attitude. Everyone was a figure in the pugilistic world. Although Dugu Kuang was a grandmaster and a martial arts master, they were not ordinary people. Many people began to become restless. A hostage asked, "Did you kill Shen Villa Lord?"

Dugu Kuang looked at Shen Dongyang who was lying on the side and nodded. "That's right. I killed him with my own hands!"

The man asked again. "Then why did you kill him? Did he stop you from doing something? " Dugu was stunned. He really didn't want to talk about how Shen Dongyang had become like before his death. This was simply an insult to the dead.

He sighed. "Killing people isn't a common thing for us. " The man nodded. "Yeah, it's common, but don't forget who you killed today! He's the richest man in Gusu City! "

Dugu nodded his head, "That's right, that's why I didn't plan to leave this place today. I know this is the territory of Shen family, so I will wait for the day when the Shen family arrives to judge me. As long as I don't die. . . Then, I'll have a way to solve this problem. " His last two sentences were very weak, as if he was talking to himself.

"The Shen family will definitely cut you into pieces. Hehe, but you don't have to worry. No matter what, your Dugu family's luck is over. You have to know what your precious daughter has done to us!" Wu Daozi threatened fiercely.

Dugu Kuang sighed. "It seems that all of you know about this? What I need to do now is to try my best to make up for the mistakes she has made. As long as she did something, I have the responsibility to bear the responsibility, because I am her biological father after all. "

When it came to emotional matters, Dugu Kuang's eyes seemed to sparkle with a hint of indifference. But in the blink of an eye, it disappeared. "Do you think we will believe your nonsense? I originally believed it, but from today onwards, I am going to break in. I finally understand that this matter is definitely not as simple as I imagined. This is very likely to involve a lot of people. One of the big shots. . . It must be you!"

Dugu Kuang wiped the sweat off his forehead. He didn't expect that these people would think of him as a traitor so quickly, but they didn't have the right to execute a traitor here. Usually, experts like them would visit Imperial Realm from time to time. Especially someone like Dugu Kuang, who was rarely seen in the entire Imperial Realm.

With Dugu Kuang's qualification, they could not sentence him here, but he had to be imprisoned by them. Dugu Kuang still wanted to explain, but he was interrupted and said, "Your daughter is really ruthless! She almost took the lives of over a hundred of us! This kind of joke is really hard to joke about. "

Dugu Kuang sighed. " I came here precisely because of this matter. What I want to do is to go in and save you all. The mistake my daughter committed must be resolved. If everyone still trusts me, I think I can definitely find a way to make her repent. "

Murong Cheng walked over at this time. "You are injured? What kind of weapon was it? Such a small wound should be a dagger, right? "

Dugu Kuang nodded. "To be honest, it was indeed a dagger made of pure steel. Don't ask who hurt me. This makes it very difficult for me. "

Murong Cheng didn't answer his question and continued asking. "Then I won't let you die today, but you have to remember, one day, I will definitely be the first to take off your head!"
