Hearing this, the young city lord stood with his hands behind his hands, frowned slightly, and said: "Yes, I know very well that those people have ancient auras on their bodies, and they must have ancient treasures."
"Since you come from ancient times, prove it to me! When you do what you promised me, I will naturally give you your freedom."
The monster burst out laughing and said, "Young City Lord, you still have such a powerful city, so I won't argue with a junior like you."
"Wait until late at night, you stay in this secret room, I will let you get some strength, and you must help me seize all the spiritual power of the sword spirit!"
"There are some deals between the two of us. When I regain my freedom, I will definitely let you get what you want."
The young city lord didn't hesitate at all, and then said: "Okay, it's a deal!"
Many years ago, although the young city lord had worshiped some masters and learned some skills, he had never learned any spells. He picked up such a box accidentally and took it to the secret room at the request of the other party.
At first, the young city lord did not dare to let his father know about this, but it was the arrival of this monster that caused the old city lord to encounter unexpected events and made all the people stay at home as much as possible.
The young city lord felt guilty and was about to destroy the monster, but the monster said that his father still had a breath. As long as the young city lord could wait for the ancient treasure to be brought, the monster could bring the old city lord back to life.
The young city lord didn't dare to completely believe the monster's words, but he also didn't dare to destroy the monster directly, so he could only wait and see what happened.
Over the past year, the young city lord has placed the box in this secret room, but he has never entered the secret room door. It seems that he has completely forgotten about the monster.
It wasn't until the appearance of Lin Fan and his entourage that the Young City Lord believed what the monster said and was willing to give the monster a chance, hoping that his father would come back and everything here would return to normal.
Who would have thought that this is just a one-sided statement by a monster. If you lose it, you have lost it. How can you change your destiny and change your original regrets?
late at night.
There was something indescribably strange about this mansion. Lin Fan and his party walked out of the house, but did not listen to the young city lord's words and stayed in the house. They all came to this place, and naturally they wanted to find out some truth.
The sword spirit frowned deeply, feeling the familiar aura more and more, and said: "It's unmistakable, this is the aura of the ancient ferocious beast, it's in that direction!"
The direction mentioned by the sword spirit is the direction of the secret room.
Hearing this, Shui Ruoqing was slightly startled and said: "Sword Spirit, are you really not mistaken? We haven't felt any evil spirit since we came to this place."
"If the ancient beast is really here, no matter how hard it is hidden, it is impossible for us people to not notice it. Are you too nervous?"
Sword Spirit snorted coldly and said, "You'd better believe what I say. I have fought with this beast before, and it all happened tens of thousands of years ago."
"At the beginning, I watched the demon disappear into ashes. I didn't know what kind of power the demon used to hide most of its demonic aura."
"If I weren't very familiar with this, I'm afraid I would have been deceived too!"
Sword Spirit felt more and more that this place was not simple. Recalling what happened during the day, he even felt that the young city lord must have a certain connection with this monster.
Lin Fan said calmly: "It is the power of the eternal chessboard!
"What?" Everyone gasped.
Even if those great masters in the demon world have the ability to know how to use chess pieces, at most they can only use part of the power of the chess pieces to achieve their own goals. This is considered very powerful.
Few people in the Three Realms have truly seen the power of the Eternal Chessboard. If this demon knows how to use the power of the eternal chessboard, its strength must not be underestimated.
Sword Spirits were increasingly unsure of what was going on, and they knew nothing about it, let alone what kind of traps were waiting for them.
Thinking of this, Sword Spirit cupped his hands and said: "Master, why don't you let me go and inquire about it first. When I bring you the news, we can discuss it further."
Lin Fan looked at the sword spirit and said in a deep voice: "Are you sure you can come back safely?"
"Me?" Sword Spirit lowered his head and remained silent, not knowing how to answer.
From Lin Fan's point of view, if Sword Spirit was really confident, he would not have said these words, let alone made such a decision.
In the past, if sword spirits were sure to defeat demons and knew that these people would not be in danger, why bother?
It can be seen that Sword Spirit was prepared for the worst, so he could only use such words to reassure Lin Fan and others. However, Lin Fan was in front of Sword Spirit, so he could naturally see through all of this.
Yue Lingxiao said hurriedly: "Sword Spirit, you must not do anything stupid at this time. If you are not sure, then how powerful is this monster?"
"Lin Fan, this is not the time to vent your anger. How about we leave? Didn't the waiter say that? The people here just can't go out. They have always been in peace. I guess the demon must have other plans."
"We will not have any impact on the people here if we leave this place. If we stay for a long time, we may not be able to leave safely."
Yue Lingxiao had been with Lin Fan for a while, and she still understood Lin Fan's personality. If it were in the past, Yue Lingxiao would never have said such words of persuasion. This was a complete evasion.
The situation was tense now, and at a critical moment, Yue Lingxiao did not dare to be careless, so she could only make this decision.
If Lin Fan really blamed him, then he would admit it.
Lin Fan then said: "This matter is getting more and more interesting. No matter what kind of opponent you face, you must not lose with momentum, otherwise you will lose half the battle."
"Sword Spirit, you don't have to belittle yourself. This monster could have become your defeat tens of thousands of years ago. This is just his remaining spiritual power, so there is nothing to fear."
"If this demon really had the power to stir things up, he wouldn't be languishing in this place until now. Let's go and meet your old friend for a while!"
After saying this, Lin Fan didn't hesitate at all and headed towards the direction where the demonic energy was emanating, which was the secret room.
The sword spirit was slightly startled, looking at Lin Fan's firm back, and followed him without saying a word.
Shui Ruoqing and Yue Lingxiao did not hesitate at all and followed Lin Fan.
From the moment they planned to follow Lin Fan, it meant they would never leave. No matter life or death, they will face it together.
Outside the secret room.
The young city lord has been waiting here for a long time. He has always been dubious about the demon's words. He wants to test the opponent's ability before deciding whether to take the final step.
Since he was young, the city lord has been gifted with extraordinary talents and has been favored by many experts. Only then did he have the experience of apprenticeship and learning.
Although he is just an ordinary person, he has read a lot of books from experts and knows many things that others do not know.
His master didn't know magic, but he was also a strange person. He also gave him a treasure, so that he could always restrain the power of demons.
Such a treasure is his opportunity and his destiny. Whether it can be completely resolved depends on the outcome of tonight's incident.
