Under the ice abyss, a well-maintained prison stands quietly.
Outside the prison gate, there was an old man with white hair sitting.
If it weren't for that vague breath, this old man would be no different from a frozen corpse.
After a long time, the old man opened his eyes, and his two ice-crystal-like eyes glowed with azure blue.
"Old thief Zhuge, everything is really developing as you said..."
"It's just that you don't seem to have calculated the power of the mysterious world."
"Although the events coincide with each other and the start of the battle is consistent, the number of taboo-level secrets... completely exceeds the number you mentioned."
"Why……"
After muttering to himself, the old man closed his eyes again.
It’s January again, and the aurora is filling the sky with brilliant lights.
Over the Bingyuan Prison, a white jade stone door slowly emerged.
Not long after, figures one after another walked out from behind the White Jade Gate. The world didn't recognize them, but each of them possessed taboo-level power.
These people are gatekeepers.
No. 01, the keeper of the tricky gate.
The white jade stone gate hanging under the aurora is the gateway to the No. 01 Trick Gate.
——Tianmenguan.
There is a familiar face in the crowd.
He gathered the black water around him, fell into the ice abyss, and came to the old man.
"On this trip, we killed twenty-three forbidden secrets and sacrificed seven gatekeepers."
The old man opened his eyes, looked at the person in front of him, and said after a while: "Zhou Yong, has the power of the black plague been completely controlled by you?"
Zhou Yong grinned and said: "Not only the black plague, I also devoured other taboos... Now for me, it is no big problem to block ten taboos by myself."
"It's really a blessing in disguise. It's a blessing." The old man nodded, seeming to be very satisfied with this matter.
"Captain Yan's side..." Zhou Yong hesitated to speak.
The old man smiled and said: "He went to Sushen Pass. Jiang Che is not here. Satan has awakened. Someone needs to handle this matter."
"Well..." Zhou Yong responded.
"What? You won't ask about Jiang Che's situation this time?" the old man asked.
Zhou Yong touched the bridge of his nose and said, "Ask? Didn't you tell me nothing I want to know?"
"Maybe... I can tell you something now." The old man smiled.
Zhou Yong: "..."
The old man's expression froze and he said displeasedly: "What's that look in your eyes? You don't want to hear that, do you?"
"No, no, just tell me, I'm listening." Zhou Yong put away his contemptuous eyes.
"Jiang Che is trying to control the Sword of Annihilation. If it goes well, the era of mystery may really come to an end..."
"End the Age of Secrets?" Zhou Yong looked shocked, but quickly added: "He can do it."
The old man laughed, and then continued: "The current restlessness in the mysterious world is also because of this incident. The mysterious will is threatened, so it wants to defeat our world before Jiang Che succeeds..."
"If you say that, I feel relieved." Zhou Yong grinned.
The old man shook his head and said: "Maybe I didn't explain it clearly enough. The Zhuge clan leaders of all generations used heavenly magic to predict the occurrence of this battle, but in the end no one could see the outcome of the battle."
"We cannot see the result even at the cost of our lives. In this case, there is a high probability that we will lose."
"No, it won't." Zhou Yong's answer was affirmative.
"Why?" the old man asked.
Zhou Yong: "There is no reason."
After being silent for a while, the old man let out a long sigh.
He took a deep look at Zhou Yong and said, "Do you understand your current situation?"
"Clearly, I am no longer a human being, but a mystery."
"If the mysterious world is annihilated, all the products of the mysterious world may also be annihilated."
