Bai Lingyun looked at Sikong Lie in front of him with a complicated expression. He was silent for a moment and came to his side.
He took out a white porcelain bottle from his storage bag, took out an elixir and gave it to Sikong Lie to drink.
His face was still old, but the aura on Sikong Lie's body was calmer than before.
Bai Lingyun took out two more bottles of wine, opened them and handed one to Sikong Lie.
After taking the elixir, Sikong Lie regained some strength and took it.
Bai Lingyun raised the bottle and touched it, then drank by himself.
Seeing this, Sikong Lie took a sip himself and let out a heavy breath.
"When did you arrive?"
"yesterday."
Bai Lingyun arrived as early as yesterday.
There was a lot of movement before the temple was closed.
Bai Lingyun, who was hiding in the dark, immediately cheered up.
Years of tacit understanding allowed him to recognize at a glance that the black fog man was Sikong Lie.
Of course, we also saw the scene later where Sikong Lie was beaten violently by Emperor Lie.
Bai Lingyun didn't hesitate at all. Even when he saw Sikong Lie was about to be beaten to death by Emperor Lie, he continued to hide and never thought of taking action.
Just as Fu Xuemin said before Bai Lingyun came.
Sikong Lie, the second team, cannot be identified by the strange side of the demon.
Once it is discovered that it is humans who have captured the core of the temple, those strange monsters may put aside their grudges and turn around to deal with humans first.
Sikong Lie concealed his identity. If Bai Lingyun took action, it would be equivalent to self-exploding his identity.
More importantly, even if Bai Lingyun is added.
They cannot be the opponents of Lie Huang!
"It's quite early."
Sikong Lie murmured that he had roughly guessed Bai Lingyun's situation.
In his opinion, there was no problem with Bai Lingyun's decision.
Even if he was really beaten to death by Lie Huang on the spot, Bai Lingyun couldn't take action.
"Second Master and the others, have they all left safely?"
"Don't worry, I came to find you after watching them go back."
Bai Lingyun spoke calmly.
Yesterday, he secretly escorted Sikong Deshou and the others through the strange realm, and then came back to look for Sikong Lie.
Sikong Deshou nodded and looked up at the red moon in the sky.
"Luo Tang...how is the situation over there?"
"You arranged for the Bone Clan to take him away, and I didn't pay much attention."
Bai Lingyun trusted Sikong Lie. When he saw Luo Tang leaving with the Will-o'-the-Wisp Skeleton and the others, he knew that these were Sikong Lie's arrangements and simply stopped paying attention.
"Leaving them aside, how are you doing now? How long can you live?"
Bai Lingyun asked Sikong Lie.
Sikong Lie raised his head and thought.
"One year, you'll have better luck...two years."
Hearing this, Bai Lingyun stopped just as he took the wine bottle to his mouth. After two seconds, he took a sip.
"It's really embarrassing...a lifespan of more than a hundred years was wasted in less than two minutes."
"This is the price...the price of arrogance."
Sikong Lie's tone was calm.
Bai Lingyun nodded, remembering Ying Zheng's sword.
"Who is that senior of the Dragon Clan? Why didn't I know that you really knew the Dragon Clan?"
The dragon scales on Sikong Lie were obtained in a secret realm.
Bai Lingyun knew his details very well.
"To be honest, I don't know either."
For the first time, a look of confusion appeared on Sikong Lie's face.
"At that time, I just wanted to buy some time to keep them away from the temple."
"I have prepared myself for death, and the space distortion rules have been set. Once my heart stops beating."
"The space will directly crush my body and suck it into the turbulent flow of space."
"By destroying the corpse and destroying all traces, Emperor Lie will not be able to know my true identity."
"It's just that...the senior dragon clan member who appeared at the end put all the rest of my plans on hold."
Bai Lingyun had some guesses about all the things Sikong Lie had prepared.
But he said that he didn't know the identity of the senior dragon clan, which made Bai Lingyun frown slightly.
"You don't know either, so why did he save you?"
"Or does he just want to kill Lie Huang?"
That sword looked like it was intended to kill.
In the end, although Emperor Lie didn't die for some unknown reason, he was at least seriously injured.
With this level of attack, Bai Lingyun would definitely not believe it if there was no relationship between the two.
The two of them sat in the dilapidated valley, thinking for a long time and destined to have no clue.
I simply didn’t think about it again.
"Forget it, where is the core of the temple? The Emperor is staring at you and attacking, so the core of the temple is always in your hands, right?"
Sikong Xing nodded.
"However, there have been some minor problems."
Sikong Lie took out the core of the temple and handed it to Bai Lingyun.
Bai Lingyun took it and checked it, and immediately frowned.
"Where's the energy? Why is it empty? Has it been absorbed by you? It shouldn't be!"
"How could you absorb and digest the energy in such a short period of time?"
Bai Lingyun was puzzled.
Sikong Lie spoke.
"It's not me, it's Luo Tang."
"Lotang!?"
"That's right. Although I don't know why, there was no problem with the core of the temple when I gave it to him. Later, when I asked him to restore some spiritual power to me, I found that the energy inside was gone."
What happened at Yue Luo Mountain came to Sikong Lie's mind.
"The Night Emperor's secret treasure was also missing at the beginning. I guess the situation this time will be similar to that time."
"However, I remember that Luo Tang was in a coma for a month."
"I wonder why you didn't faint this time?"
After Bai Lingyun heard what happened, he looked at the extremely embarrassed Sikong Lie in front of him with a more complicated expression.
"It was a hard walk, but I almost...no, my life was on the line and I didn't catch anything."
Sikong Lie remained silent.
Just like Bai Lingyun said.
The purpose of coming out this time is the core of the temple.
Borrow the energy from the core of the temple to give mankind a true emperor!
Without an emperor, we will always be the weak side in the face of the strangeness of the abyss!
But as things stand now, the plan failed.
Although I got the core of the temple.
But the energy was absorbed by Luo Tang.
It is impossible for Luo Tang to directly reach the Imperial Realm with this energy.
The human reverse thrust plan needs to be postponed again.
"It's almost time to rest. Let's go and return to the president."
Bai Lingyun raised his head and drank the last sip of wine, put the bottle back into his storage bag and stood up.
He extended his hand to Sikong Lie.
Sikong Lie didn't show any pretense this time. He stretched out his hand and let Bai Lingyun pull him up.
Soon, Bai Lingyun took Sikong Lie and flew towards the human abyss base.
"How can I tell you if you haven't thought about it when you go back to life?"
"Just tell the truth."
…
"Luo Tang is back!"
At the Ocean Abyss Base, Li Yangbiao stood on the dark city wall, looking at Luo Tang approaching at great speed in the distance with an excited expression.
Lei Ziping and others also leaned forward, waved and shouted to Luo Tang.
Looking at the dark city wall in front of him, Luo Tang quickly saw the people waving above and smiled and waved back.
"Everyone is waiting here. I guess Wang Zhenshou notified them in advance."
Just as Luo Tang thought.
When Luo Tang arrived at the tenth defense zone on the front line, Wang Zhenshou sent a message to the base.
At that time, Li Yangbiao and the others were waiting here.
Soon, Luo Tang returned to the city and had not yet entered the city.
Li Yangbiao and others had already rushed out.
"Are you okay? Luo Tang!"
Li Yangbiao quickly surrounded Luo Tang and checked Luo Tang's physical condition.
Luo Tang smiled and shook his head.
"It's okay, what can happen to me?"
"Hello principal, hello Mr. Sikong."
While they were talking, Wei Feiguang and Sikong Deshou had already walked out of the city.
"It's okay."
Wei Feiguang was relieved to see Luo Tang return safely.
Five minutes later.
The conference room of Oceanwide Abyss Base.
Luo Tang and everyone who participated in the temple trip gathered here.
There was a look of heavy doubt on everyone's faces.
"What do you mean, the Black Mist people are dragons?"
"Or is it the dragon clan that has a good relationship with us?"
Wei Feiguang felt like he heard wrongly and asked again.
In the time just now, Luo Tang had already explained everything that happened in the temple and what happened later.
Of course, there was no mention of the temple's core energy being absorbed by him.
Otherwise, he, who was only a fourth-level spiritual master at the time, could have absorbed all the majestic energy in the core of the temple and nothing would have happened.
Who would believe it?
"Yes, I have been with him for a long time, and he couldn't help but not take action against me. He also tried to save me many times, and finally left with the Bone Clan. It was he who asked the Bone Clan to take me away."
"The reason why I'm not allowed to join you is probably to avoid suspicion."
On the way back.
Luo Tang kept simulating and thinking about what happened in the temple this time.
If the Black Mist people just want to let him go, they can just throw him to Wei Feiguang and others.
So why wasn't this done?
After Luo Tang thought carefully, he found that it was probably to avoid suspicion.
The situation at that time.
If the Black Mist man threw him directly to Wei Feiguang and the others, and he was still unharmed, it would inevitably arouse the strange suspicion of those monsters.
Is there any connection between him and humans?
But when the situation happened, they caught him and used him to threaten Wei Feiguang and the others. It was obvious that he would not deal with humans.
In this way, no one will doubt their relationship.
"Speaking of which, it seems that during the siege earlier, the Blood Vengeful Ghost King and others were seriously injured. We are not as strong as them, but we basically suffered no injuries."
"It's indeed a bit unreasonable."
Wei Feiguang thought of their siege on the Black Mist people.
I thought before that maybe they were lucky enough to escape the Black Mist Man's attack.
Looking back now, it seems that there was something wrong here!
"Dragon clan..."
Sikong Deshou frowned and thought.
Everyone was like this, and the conference room suddenly fell into silence.
After a while.
"To be honest, apart from our ocean-wide Blood Dragon Pond, I have never encountered anything related to the Dragon Clan."
"It's better to report this matter truthfully and see what the president and others think."
Wei Feiguang had never heard of any relationship between humans and dragons. As the president, Fu Xuemin might know something about it.
Sikong Deshou nodded and agreed with Wei Feiguang's statement.
Wei Feiguang immediately called on his colleagues to write a report and prepare to submit it together.
"As for you guys... forget about the report, hand in the task, and take a good rest."
"But remember, you can't be so reckless next time, with five fifth-level people and two fourth-level people running towards the King's territory."
"I was lucky this time and happened to meet the opening of the temple. I won't be so lucky next time!"
Wei Feiguang rolled his eyes at Luo Tang and others.
Luo Tang and others repeatedly claimed that it was.
Say things you won’t do again next time.
What I didn't notice was that when Sikong Xing said these words, there was worry and sadness in his eyes.
