The hand stretched out from the whirlpool was extremely pale. To be precise, it was not a human hand, but a hand-shaped mechanism carved from white jade.
The wrist is inlaid with a circle of gold wire.
It clamped Li Nanke's neck like a lock.
But this machine hand did not drag Li Nanke into the whirlpool. Instead, it seemed to prevent him from being sucked in, causing Li Nanke to continue to float on the magma in a strange floating posture.
At this time, the boiling and rolling magma gradually stabilized, and wisps of red mist floated out of the cracked gaps.
These red mist seemed to have life forms. At first, they did not dare to approach Li Nanke, but timidly surrounded the man.
After several touches and tests, Hongwu had the courage to cling to Li Nanke's body.
The eldest princess of Shitai was extremely anxious.
Because in her sight, Li Nanke was completely frozen into ice, motionless.
Bai Ruyue tried to enter the magma to save her, but as soon as she got close to the magma, the piercing coldness scraped her skin like a knife, and the pain almost made her faint.
At this time, there is a brown mirror above the cave door.
If you don't look carefully, it's difficult to spot its existence.
There were two people standing on the other side of the mirror.
One is a man in black wearing a ghost mask who came to arrest Li Nanke.
And the other one was an old man wearing rich clothes.
The old man looked in his fifties, with silver hair, and his eyes shone with wisdom. He was sharp and meticulous, and seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.
He looked through the mirror at Li Nanke, who was surrounded by red mist in the magma pool, and said with burning eyes: "I didn't expect it to actually work."
"Li Nanke is not an ordinary person."
The ghost-faced man said calmly, "When I first saw him, I knew that this person was extraordinary. Because he had the aura of Red Rain on his body.
Later, I kept observing him secretly and found that he could enter the world of Red Rain on his own. How many such people are there in this world? "
The old man in colorful clothes lamented, "Some things in the world are so unfair. Some people are unable to enter the world of Red Rain despite all their efforts. But some people can enter easily despite any restrictions."
He turned to stare at the ghost-faced man, "Actually, you could have brought him here earlier."
"I don't want to get involved in any of your Sky Sect's affairs."
"But now-"
"I don't want to now!" The ghost-faced man said in a cold voice, "I just want to fulfill someone's instructions."
"Including killing Wan Wuya?" asked the old man in colorful clothes.
The ghost-faced man said nothing.
The old man in rich clothes sighed: "I understand that you want to protect those two girls, but you shouldn't take action at this time. And you shouldn't create the illusion that He Xinyue is the murderer.
Now the sect is in a fierce commotion because of Wan Wuya's death, and I can't even try to appease him.
In the eyes of outsiders, including the eldest girl of the He family, they all thought that I, Nangong Ge, had killed Wan Wuya, and everyone looked at me as if they were looking at a murderer.
Haha, once the balance is broken, no one can take advantage. "
That's right, the old man in gorgeous clothes who spoke was none other than Nangong Ge, one of the deputy leaders of Tianqiong Sect!
Since the death of He Nantian, the leader of the Tianqiong Sect, his two brothers Wan Wuya and Nangong Ge have temporarily taken over the power and become the two deputy leaders.
They were supposed to be brothers, but ended up becoming enemies due to different ideas.
Nangong Ge is a representative of the new sect and believes that Tianqiong Sect should rely on the imperial court and refuses He Panjun to take over her father's position and become the new leader.
Wan Wuya is a member of the "Bao He Sect" and believes that He Panjun should take over as the leader of his father.
However, on the surface Wan Wuya belongs to He Panjun's camp, but the real purpose is just to use the two sisters to achieve his goal of sole control.
Now that Wan Wuya is dead, the Tianqiong Sect is left with only Nangong Ge as its deputy leader.
However, there are too many old members of Wanwuya and it is difficult to appease them. As a result, the Tianqiong Sect is now becoming more and more chaotic, and no one is convinced by anyone. Especially when sister He Panjun ran away, it was even more chaotic.
The ghost-faced man heard this and sneered, "You don't have to trick me deliberately. I didn't kill Wan Wuya."
"Is it really He Xinyue?"
Nangong Ge frowned.
Seeing the ghost-faced man staring at him with a mocking look, Nangong Ge waved his hands and smiled bitterly, "Why do you even look at me like this?"
"You know who killed him, there's no need to pretend to be someone else."
The ghost-faced man said calmly.
"I..." Nangong Ge wanted to defend, but when he saw the ghost-faced man turning around and looking in the mirror, he refused to pay attention to him, so he waved his hand helplessly, "That's all, I'm too lazy to explain to you."
The situation in the mirror changed at this moment.
The red mist that originally clung to Li Nanke turned black. At first glance, it looked like the ash residue left after burning charcoal.
But if you look closely, you will find that these black debris have turned into tiny flying insects crawling on Li Nanke's body, seeming to be transporting his own energy into the man's body.
Soon, the calm magma pool boiled and bubbled again.
The black vortex also began to rotate rapidly.
A strange energy appeared in the huge cave, and the outer layers of the rock walls fell off one after another, revealing blood-red tadpole runes.
The runes emit white light and connect with adjacent runes to form a fan shape.
Card!
The machine hand holding Li Nanke's neck suddenly released.
Li Nanke was instantly sucked into the whirlpool.
"Li Nanke!"
On the stone platform, Bai Ruyue shouted urgently.
In desperation, the woman suddenly thought of something, turned around and lay down in the coffin, imitating the man and pressing the raised button next to her.
Immediately, the delicate body was bounced up and fell into the whirlpool in an arc.
"Is this woman desperate for her life?"
The two people behind the mirror were startled by the eldest princess's actions, and it was too late to stop them.
Just when he thought the woman would be frozen, the machine hand in the vortex suddenly stretched out again and grew larger. It clamped the woman's waist and dragged Li Nanke into the abyss of the whirlpool.
Nangong Ge and the Ghost-faced Man were stunned.
"how come?"
Nangong Ge looked surprised, "Li Nanke recognized his master, so he was able to enter. Why can the Princess Zhen also enter?"
The ghost-faced man looked at the magma pool that had returned to its original state and said calmly: "It is said that the eldest princess was paralyzed in bed and unable to move, but later miraculously recovered. Now it seems that she was indeed treated by the red rain."
"So she has been parasitized by Hong Yu?" Nangong Ge lowered his voice.
The ghost-faced man shook his head, "I don't know, maybe the answer is down there."
Nangong Ge sighed: "I don't know if Li Nanke can find the things left by the original leader. If he can't find it, everything we do will be meaningless.
At that time, Tianqiong Sect will have no way out except to surrender to the imperial court. "
"Above the sky, red rain is the sky."
The ghost-faced man's deep eyes were filled with complicated emotions, and he said slowly, "Since Master He said that he saw the truth behind Hong Yu, then I believe him."
Nangong Ge looked at the other party, "Actually, you didn't believe him, otherwise you wouldn't have left. What you believed in was her -"
"Nangong Ge, do your own thing!"
The ghost-faced man's eyes suddenly turned cold.
Nangong Ge smiled and said in a calm tone, "You deliberately drove those two girls from the He family out, are you planning to die with the Tianqiong Sect?"
The ghost-faced man didn't respond and turned to leave.
