"San Lang, are you really alright? Let me be disappointed." Xie Lian said.
"Don't come down." San Lang answers.
Xie Lian was surprised by that answer. What is going on? Is there something below?
His arm was still holding on tightly without the intention to let it go. Xie Lian intended to raise his hand and gently push himself away, but only because when he placed his hand on San Lang's chest, he suddenly remembered how he randomly touched all parts of San Lang's body, even he had tasted his adam apple. , and he quietly returned his hand. It has been hundreds of years since Xie Lian last cared to find out what that 'awkward' feeling meant, but now there was a voice in her head that told her that she had to remain silent and be polite.
At that moment, lamentations of anger and sadness roared from the other side of the hole, and a voice called out, "WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU ?!"
The words were spoken in Ban Yue's language, and heard that voice, the voice of General Ke Mo being dragged along with Xie Lian. Because he was dead, his fall would not kill him, only blowing up a human crater on the ground when he fell. But when he rose from the hole where he fell, he began to shout, "What happened? My brother, WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU ?!"
When he howled into the hole from the top of the previous wall, there were hundreds and thousands of voices answering his call, as if the hole was filled with ghosts that sounded angry and made threats. But now, besides Ke Mo's crying, Xie Lian could only hear the dead silence. There wasn't even a sound of breathing or heartbeat from San Lang next to it.
Correct. Even though Xie Lian was being held right in front of San Lang's chest, he could not detect the sound of his heartbeat or even his breathing!
Ke Mo roared, "WHO KILLED YOU? WHO KILLED YOU ALL !!!"
When A-Zhao first fell, there was still a terrible sound from the flesh being torn apart, but after San Lang jumped, no more noise was heard from inside the hole. Think who else might be able to do it?
Ke Mo himself must have realized this, and shouted at them, "People of the Central Plains, You will die! I will kill you!"
Even though he couldn't see, Xie Lian could still feel the danger approaching quickly, and he jerked his body, "San Lang, be careful!"
"Don't worry about him," said San Lang, still holding him tight. He made small steps and turned around.
In the darkness, Xie Lian's series of sounding tolling shards, so clear and intense, hissed here and there. Ke Mo hurried to hear to catch them but failed at the first attempt, and turned to attack again, but San Lang also easily stepped back and avoided him. Xie Lian's arm involuntarily rose to San Lang's chest again and held tightly on his shoulder, slowly also involuntarily grabbing his clothes.
But the arm that carries it still looks so stable, even with all the turns and jumps to the side, the grip is still sturdy and feels safe and comfortable. Only, Xie Lian could feel something cold and hard on that arm that often gave him puncture and touch reactions, and Xie Lian was a little confused.
In the endless darkness, sparkling lines in silver flashed everywhere, and the sharp sound of metal wounds accompanied by the angry roar of Ke Mo. It was clear that General Ban Yue was seriously injured now, but no matter how strong he was, he refused to admit his defeat, and once again rushed towards them. Xie Lian felt he could not continue to sit there anymore and called out, "Ruoye!"
The silk ribbon answered his call and darted out, there was a thud in the air, and Ke Mo seemed to have fallen because of being hit by Ruoye. Ke Mo shouted from the ground, "You! You two bastards! Two on one! That's not fair!"
'You will kill us, who cares whether it's two against one, or if it's fair or unjust? I will kill you first. ' Xie Lian thought.
San Lang on the other hand, only sneered, "Not even one on you won't win. You don't have to fight." The last line was for Xie Lian, and the words didn't have a tone of speech there.
"Good." Xie Lian answered, but also pleaded, "San Lang, why don't you let me down. I will stop you if it continues like this."
"You are not blocking me. Don't come down." said San Lang.
"Why can't I go down?" Xie Lian asked curiously. This person can't possibly enjoy fighting while carrying someone right?
San Lang's answer has only two words: "It's dirty here."
Xie Lian had never imagined that as an answer, with the same seriousness, and thought it was rather funny, but also made him feel a bit strange, felt hard to explain, only his heart felt warm. "You can't keep hugging me like this?"
"I can." San Lang replied.
Xie Lian was only joking, but San Lang's words did not sound to have a half-hearted imprint, and suddenly Xie Lian did not know what to say. As they spoke, Ke Mo never stopped attacking. San Lang's two hands firmly held him, but something else held Ke Mo, whipping him to defeat him. He shouted while slowly backing away, "That bitch told you two ..."
He hadn't finished his words before the big explosion could be heard, and the big man fell to the ground, unable to stand. Xie Lian hurriedly said, "San Lang, don't kill him! We still need to ask him if we want to get out of here."
San Lang paid attention to his words and stopped. "I don't actually plan to kill him, if I intend to kill him, he won't be able to survive until now."
Silence once again strikes the Sinner Hole.
After a while, Xie Lian asked, "San Lang, did you do all this?"
Even if nothing was seen in the dark, with the smell of blood so strong and the bloodthirsty atmosphere that covered the hole, plus the madness of Ke Mo who was angry, it was clear what was happening here. There was a moment of silence before Xie Lian when he heard San Lang's answer.
"Yes." He said.
That is the expected answer. Xie Lian sighed, "How do I say this."
Xie Lian chewed his words and adjusted his thoughts before speaking in a serious tone, "San Lang, next time you see a hole like this, don't just jump randomly. I can't even stop you. Really, I don't know what to do. Don't do it again like this again ok? "
San Lang didn't seem to expect a response like this and only issued an "eh?" When he spoke again, he sounded a little strange, "You don't want to ask anything else?"
"What else do you want me to ask?" Xie Lian said.
"... For example, am I actually a human?" San Lang replied.
Xie Lian rubbed her forehead, "Hmm ... I don't think that's necessary."
"Is that not?"
"Right? It doesn't matter whether you are human or not." Xie Lian said.
"Oh?"
Xie Lian crossed her arms and said, "Relations must depend on opportunity and whether we are on the same wave, not on social status. If I like you, you can be a beggar and I will still like you. If I don't like you, you can become emperor and I will still not like you. Shouldn't it be like that? This is just simple logic. So whether you are human or not is irrelevant. "
San Lang laughed loudly, "pfff ... Yes. You are absolutely right."
"Right?" Xie Lian said, laughing too. But the more he laughed, the more he felt something was strange, and suddenly he realized. He still let San Lang carry him, and what was scary was, he was used to being in this position without realizing it! Ah!
What kind of situation is this ?? Xie Lian cleared her throat softly and said, "Um, San Lang. We can talk about this later. What if you let me down first?"
San Lang seemed to be still laughing and said, "Wait a minute."
He took Xie Lian and walked for a while before gently letting him down. Touching the ground, Xie Lian could feel the hard and level ground. "San Lang Thank you!"
San Lang did not give a gesture in response, and after thanking him, Xie Lian looked to the sky.
Above them was a dark blue sky with a crescent moon hanging there, bright and beautiful. Just looking at the view from the square frame made it feel like a frog trapped in a well.
Xie Lian ordered Ruoye to try and reach the top, but not as expected, the silk ribbon stopped in the middle of the road as if crashing into an invisible wall, and Ruoye held it as if it could not rise any higher. "There is an array mounted around the Penitents' Hole," San Lang said.
"I know, but I still want to try." Xie Lian said, "I can't give up until I try, you know. I wonder how the others are still up there. Will the girl in black also sweep and attack them?"
He recounted how the girl hanging on the pole suddenly came alive and swept all Ban Yue soldiers into the hole to San Lang, and while talking he stepped on something on the ground, looked like an arm, and Xie Lian almost tripped. He immediately calmed down, but San Lang still reached out and helped to support him, chiding softly, "Be careful."
"I said under dirty," San Lang added indifferently.
Xie Lian now understood what 'dirty' meant, and said, "Don't worry. I just want to light a torch, see what is happening here and get out of there."
San Lang didn't say anything. At that moment, from a distance, Ke Mo's cold voice shouted angrily again, "You are doing a heinous act, thousands of dead souls from this kingdom will curse you. CONDEME YOU!"
Xie Lian turned towards Ke Mo and asked in Ban Yu's language, "General Ke Mo, who is that ... the person you are talking about?"
Ke Mo responded with hatred and spat, "Why ask? Of course that evil witch!"
"Is she a female cultivator who roams the streets of the city?"
Ke Mo spat again angrily at the ground, and Xie Lian took that as a yes. He kept asking, "Are you now an unfaithful person who was a supporter of Reverend Ban Yue?"
Ke Mo became even more angry when he heard this, and shouted, "I, MO, WILL NEVER AGAIN TO FUN IT! I WILL NEVER FORGIVE THAT PUNCH !!!" After that he started to say a series of curses, sounded so inflamed and hysterical, his words fast and unclear became difficult to understand, and Xie Lian was only able to stare at him blankly, unable to follow him. He looked at San Lang and calmly called out, "San Lang, San Lang."
San Lang translated, "He cursed. He said that the woman betrayed his country, opened the fortress gates and let soldiers in the middle of the city slaughter the city. He had the blood of his people spilling on his hands, and his brothers who he pushed into this hole were also his actions. . He will hang him dead a thousand times. Ten thousand times. "
Hearing this, Xie Lian suddenly thought there must be a mistake somewhere.
Previously he asked about 'female cultivators who roam the streets of the city', and what he meant was women in white to be exact. But now, Ke Mo constantly refers to Head Reverend Ban Yue as a 'bitch', and said that he pushed his brothers into the Sinner Hole. Previously when the girl in black swept the soldiers into the hole, Ke Mo also swore and said 'Don't be this whore again'. In the last part, 'to hang dead a thousand times' Xie Lian realized that they were not talking about the same person.
Xie Lian interrupted Ke Mo's curse and asked, "General, the Head Reverend Ban Yue you're talking about, is the girl in black hanging from a pole above the Sinner Hole?"
"WHO'S ANYMORE IF IT'S NOT HIM?" Shouted To Mo.
The small, thin body that looked like a little girl in black was the real Head Reverend Ban Yue! But if that's the case, then who is his female cultivator friend dressed in black, who was walking the streets of the city to kill them before?
The girl in black above clearly had immeasurable strength, and could easily sweep dozens of Ban Yue soldiers who had fallen from the wall into the hole, so why was she hung above the Sinner Hole?
