"Alas...never mind. If you still want to live, then come with me..."

The man's words were faint and vague, as if coming from far away, and they didn't sound very clear. After hearing such a voice, the child raised his head in confusion.

He couldn't understand the other party's slightly flowery words, but he understood one sentence.

If you want to live, go with him.

then……

The child stood up tremblingly and followed the other person step by step.

Xu Zhengguan also shook his head slightly, took off his mink coat, and silently put it on him.

A moment later, he suddenly heard several voices behind him.

"Why did the master save such a little brat? Didn't he order us to kill this kid's entire family?"

"Hey, what do you know? Master, this is called kindness, and the disaster will not affect your family."

"I think the master probably thinks this family has extraordinary abilities. I heard that this kid's ancestors were members of the Imperial Guard, and it seems that they were demoted due to some incident. But the same abilities seem to appear every few generations. I guess the master wants to train this kid as a chess piece?"

The sound spread quickly and dissipated quickly.

At this point, the man could no longer bear it. He stood up angrily from the snow, clenched his fists, and looked around coldly.

"Do you think I don't know what the master did?"

"Five years after the master saved me, I've been killing people for him. Why did the master save me? Why did my family fall apart in the first place? Do you think I don't know?"

"But so what? It's common for two families to clash and fight! Besides, in that old family, as a bastard, do you think I'm living a decent life?!"

"The master is using me, but he also recreated me! In my old family, they kept me alive just to make me their pawn! They even killed my biological mother to prevent me from becoming a future troublemaker! Do you think I would have any feelings for such a family?!"

"But in college, Master broke my chains and saved my life... I've already sworn an oath to dedicate my life to Master! Master is my father, Master is my mother! Do you think I'll lose my mind just like that?!"

"ridiculous!"

"If this is all you have, I advise you to surrender quickly and leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, I will definitely take your head off!"

The man snorted coldly, his words filled with suppressed anger.

Maybe it was because he heard the man’s determination, but soon, the feeling of ice and snow around him disappeared in an instant, and the familiar scene appeared in front of him again.

The man clenched his fists and then let out a breath.

A familiar warmth surged into his body and he subconsciously turned his head.

Even as he fell into the illusion, the house was still enveloped by his perception.

"There are no signs of being moved, and the frostbite on my body is gone..."

The man was silent for a few moments, then suddenly opened his cloak again.

In the illusion, he threw the flying knife twice.

The first time, he threw one, but didn't get it back. The second time, he threw four, but got them all back.

That is to say...

"One missing?"

The man hesitated for a few seconds, but with his sharp eyes, he suddenly discovered that there were still some bloodstains on the four throwing knives he had retrieved.

But... before every trip, he would repeatedly check the sharpness of the blade?

How is this going?

The man was taken aback.

Then he turned his head.

Not far from him, several servants fell down.

Among them, there is a child.

"Master?!"

The man was stunned, somewhat incredulous.

The way it fell was exactly the same as the one he saw in the snow, and he kicked it and sent it flying!

"this?!"

The man suddenly became flustered.

He rushed forward and tried to save the other person.

But a weak voice was heard from the side.

"Xu'er..."

"master?!"

The man was stunned and turned his head subconsciously.

Not far away, an old figure covered his neck and looked at this side with grief.

He looked at the child who was no longer breathing, then turned his head and looked at the man.

"Are you... coming here to avenge what happened last year?"

"No... no... sir!"

The man was stunned. He subconsciously stepped forward and tried to save the other person.

At this moment, he didn't care whether this was an illusion or not.

If it is true, then even if he fails in the illusion ten thousand times, he cannot make up for it!

But the other party struggled out his last bit of strength, distanced himself from the man, and looked at the front in silence.

"..."

"master……"

The man trembled a little.

Because he noticed that the wound that the other party had been suppressing was the wound caused by his flying knife!

"Back when I was competing with your family for power, you were the first to attack me, and I retaliated... Yes, I didn't hold back, letting His Majesty exterminate your entire family. But I still tried to protect your children because I knew you were innocent... Later, I even sent people to stop your other enemies from taking advantage of your misfortune, and gave you a sum of money to let you leave in peace..."

Xu Guanzheng's words became more and more breathless, but he still looked at the man in front of him with disappointment.

"That day, during the heavy snow, I felt sorry for you and rescued you... Ask yourself, in these past ten years, when have I ever forced you to do anything you didn't want to do? In these past ten years, how has my Xu family treated you? How have I treated you?!"

"If you want to kill me to avenge my father, I have no regrets, but why did you kill my youngest son?!"

"Why!"

Xu Zhengguan growled, but he no longer had the strength to resist. He just fell to the ground powerlessly, spitting blood foam and looking at the man.

"you say……"

"Why is that..."

He whispered, his pupils... gradually dilating...

At this moment, the man was completely stunned...

……

In reality.

"Forehead……"

The young man was trembling all over and his breathing became increasingly difficult.

After a few seconds, he fell silent, then knelt on the ground, covering his face and bursting into tears...

"this?"

The old Taoist priest was stunned, obviously a little surprised.

But Maria was silent for a few moments.

"What's wrong, General?"

Because there were no outsiders here, the old Taoist priest also started to respectfully address Maria.

He didn't understand what Maria had done.

But Maria shook her head.

"A foolishly loyal person."

"That……"

"let's go."

Maria didn't say much and took the old Taoist priest into the room.

At the door, the man remained silent, as if he was completely oblivious to what was happening here.

The old Taoist priest was silent for a few moments, shook his head slightly, and left with Maria.

……

After entering the room, the two men found the passage leading to the underground without much effort.

Without saying a word, two people rushed in quickly.

But as they moved forward, both of them felt something was wrong.

"We've descended at least twenty meters... This distance is more than enough for a secret gathering, but there's still no bottom in sight?"

"Perhaps... this is not the place for their conversation?"

The old Taoist priest murmured, his eyes thoughtful.

But Maria just reached out and touched the soil around her.

The soil is not new. It seems that this road has been opened up for a long time. However, the further down you go, the fresher the soil becomes.

This made the two people begin to doubt the purpose of these people opening this road.

At this moment, Maria narrowed her eyes silently.

"age……"

"Ok?"

The old Taoist priest turned his head in confusion.

Maria continued speaking.

"They're looking for a year-old body."

"This……"

The old Taoist priest tilted his head, his face looking extremely puzzled.

But it was at this moment that Maria spoke slowly and firmly.

"In the final analysis, the Shanhai Association and this group calling themselves 'Godan' are acting because they share a common goal."

"So what exactly is it that can make them act together?"

"The answer is... everything they want to do is related to the behemoth."

"Considering the environment here, if nothing unexpected happens, these people's purpose..."

Maria paused.

But at this moment, she suddenly felt a strange air flow.

This made her frown.

And it was at this time.

The passage... gradually widened...
