Chapter 68: Death and Betrayal

  For everyone in Tiandu Purgatory, the so-called cage means being in their own headquarters, where they can see the sun rise and the moon set, see the blue sky and white clouds, know the changes in the outside world, and feel the ups and downs, but they are trapped.

In this small space, I can only be helpless and furious, unable to do anything.

 No one can imagine that their headquarters will turn into a prison that traps them.

 In this prison they are free, they can choose their food, have all kinds of entertainment, and pay attention to the outside world.

 But we just can’t do without the headquarters.

 Their ambitions, their dreams, what they expect to do, what they want to change, what they want to get...

 I can only think about it.

 There is nothing they can do.

This kind of ridiculous thing, like a fantasy, just happened.

 The headquarters of Tiandu Purgatory became a prison.

Li Kuangtu, the leader of Tiandu Purgatory, was captured by Li Tianlan.

Tiandu Purgatory, which still has a super power base and seems to be elite and powerful, has lost its right to speak in the dark world in an incredible way.

 The people's hearts inside Tiandu Purgatory began to fluctuate, began to panic, and began to wander.

 Start before the decisive battle in the North Sea.

 Until now.

  More than two months.

Some people enter Tiandu Purgatory, but no one leaves it.

The atmosphere in the headquarters is becoming more and more weird, all kinds of quarrels and conflicts have begun to escalate, and the once proud cohesion has begun to gradually disintegrate. All this is because the headquarters has now become a building where only people are allowed in but not allowed out.

of prison.

What surrounded the Tiandu Purgatory headquarters was not the thousands of troops, nor the lock-in of various high-tech weapons, nor the forbearance under the general situation.

 It is a sword spirit.

 It’s just a sword energy.

 Comes from the sword energy of the young Donghuang.

For dozens of days, that sword energy has been surrounding the Tiandu Purgatory headquarters. It has never dissipated or weakened. It is sharp and light, blocking every master who wants to leave the Tiandu Purgatory headquarters.

  At present, the only invincible master in Tiandu Purgatory besides Li Kuangtu, Li Xiao, has stabilized his own realm, and has been trying to break this blockade these days.

  Po Xiao considers himself no match for Li Tianlan, but he always feels that he is not incapable of defeating the opponent's sword energy.

 But it turned out that he really couldn't play it.

 The first time he entered the sword energy field, Poxiao forced himself to take four steps and exited with serious injuries.

 Two months later, after he recovered from his serious injury, he faced the sword energy cage again, but he still only took four steps inside before he was seriously injured again.

That piece of sword energy has no tendency to weaken from the beginning to now. It is endless and endless. It is completely instantaneous to touch in the Burning Fire Realm. It can struggle for a while at the peak of the Thunder Realm. And Li Xiao, who is in the Invincible Realm, can only take four steps.

of room for movement.

 Hand Dawn is very sure. With his current strength, four steps is already the limit.

 The moment the fifth step falls, he will fall directly into the sword energy.

The climate at Tiandu Purgatory's headquarters is warm and the sun is shining brightly. Sword energy floats invisible around the perimeter of the headquarters, occasionally reflecting a colorful ray of light in the sunlight.

 But things are getting more and more depressing inside the Tiandu Purgatory headquarters.

It is a state of gradually losing hope and becoming numb and lifeless. Everyone's hearts seem to be falling continuously with a downward trend under the general trend.

 Standing quietly in front of the headquarters gate at dawn, looking at the same sunshine inside and outside the headquarters, his eyes were a little blank.

After Li Tianlan's sword energy sealed off the Tiandu Purgatory headquarters, this place became the place where Li Xiao stayed most often.

 The sword energy spread from this place to the entire headquarters, completely enveloping the headquarters like a cage.

After that, Li Tianlan never came to Tiandu Purgatory again, but the sword energy he left behind never dissipated.

What Li Xiao has been studying is this sword energy.

This sword, not to mention its power but its level, is undoubtedly the pinnacle of the current dark world. If he can study it thoroughly, his own realm can definitely reach the peak of invincibility, and the embarrassing situation of Tiandu Purgatory will be completely eliminated.

disappear.

 So he is here most of the time during the day and night, eating and sleeping.

 He was also here when he was recuperating from two serious injuries during two trials.

 More than two months.

The invisible sword energy that ordinary people cannot see has become clear in his eyes.

The sword energy is like a dragon, constantly rotating around the headquarters. The strands of sword energy continue to gather and overlap, but they never disappear, but form an extremely subtle cycle.

 You can see this sword energy at dawn.

 But it can only be seen.

 He gained nothing from this sword energy. All he could feel was the purity of this sword energy.

 Pure to the extreme, the sword's light has been restrained, and there is no sword intent at all.

 Perhaps there is.

But Li Xiao couldn't see it at all. What was before him was just a pure sword energy that he couldn't see through at all.

 Just watch the dawn in silence.

The clock is ticking.

day after day.

His mentality is still stable, but as time goes by, some changes inevitably occur in his heart, causing uncertainty and confusion about the future.

There was no news about Kuangtu Li after he was taken into the East Palace.

Dawn didn’t know what happened to Kuangtu Li, and the restlessness and agitation in the entire Tiandu Purgatory became more and more intense because of this news.

He didn’t know if Kuangtu Li could still get out of the East Palace, and he didn’t know if people like himself could get out of Tiandu Purgatory. He didn’t know when the pure sword energy in front of him would disappear.

 Perhaps it will disappear one day.

 But how long is that?

 One year? Two years? Or even longer?

If the overall situation of Middle-earth and the Dark World has been decided, what is the point of them going out?

 Can I really still go out?

When all the dust settles, perhaps this sword light will turn into a real life-threatening sword. Once this constantly circling sword energy shrinks inward, no one in the entire Tiandu Purgatory can currently stop it.

This is an all-round contraction from the ground to thousands of meters in the air. Everyone in the entire Tiandu Purgatory, all buildings, all flowers and plants, and even every particle of dust will be completely shattered under this sword energy, and there will be no more

There was not even the slightest trace of existence, and in the blink of an eye, everything was gone.

 Under this sword energy.

 Under such a prospect.

 Ling Xiao really didn’t know what to do. Confusion and powerlessness struck his heart over and over again, almost overwhelming his sanity.

 Slight footsteps sounded from behind.

 The confusion in Li Xiao's eyes quickly disappeared and he turned around slowly.

Li Ming, carrying a lunch box, slowly walked over.

 He was also holding a bottle of Wuliangye in his hand.

 “Would you like something to drink?”

Liming asked.

"never mind."

 Hand in the morning took the lunch box and shook his head: "I'm not in the mood."

 The lunch box contains steamed rice with plump grains and a fragrant aroma, six dishes, one cold dish, three meat and two vegetables.

  Dawn picked up the vegetables and ate silently: "This time the rice tastes different."

 “The special fragrant rice next door.”

 Ling Ming paused and laughed a little at himself: "It was sent from the Eastern Palace."

 The corner of Li Xiao's mouth twitched.

The country next door is of course the country next door. Its special fragrant rice is world-famous. The price is not expensive for Tiandu Purgatory, but it is several times that of ordinary rice. Even if Tiandu Purgatory is not short of money, it is not expensive.

As for those who are extravagant in this area and can do such things, it is estimated that the only one who already has too much money and no place to spend it is Donghuang Palace.

Although they are trapped here, their daily food is actually good. They cannot leave here, but they are allowed in. There will always be some people outside Tiandu Purgatory. Their existence is enough to ensure logistics. Li Tianlan doesn’t know whether it is unclear or not.

Thinking about it, on the third day after he left Tiandu Purgatory, a logistics convoy came to the East Palace. They were extremely well prepared with rice, flour, food and oil, and all kinds of daily necessities, including toothbrushes, toothpaste, rice shower gel and shampoo, and they were all of the best quality.

The brand, the current rice, was originally sent by Donghuang Palace.

 “What’s this called?”

 Hai Xiao smiled bitterly and shook his head.

 “Yes, what is this called?”

   Ming Ming murmured to herself.

 He has heard this from many people.

Li Tianlan sealed off Tiandu Purgatory, his attitude was clear but unclear.

At least until now, Li Tianlan may fight to the death with Li Kuangtu, but he really does not regard Tiandu Purgatory as an enemy. There are too many veterans who are loyal to the Li family here, and there are too many people who influence the relationship between Li Tianlan and Li Kuangtu.

The two generations of Li family heirs may be hostile to the elites in embarrassment, but the bond between the East Palace and Tiandu Purgatory is destined to be inextricable and chaotic.

Li Tianlan set up a prison for them, but he never killed anyone in Tiandu Purgatory. He couldn't kill anyone because they were not enemies. He trapped them because he didn't want them to become enemies of the Eastern Palace.

The batches of logistical items and food sent from the Eastern Palace all represent Li Tianlan’s thoughts.

How do the people in Purgatory feel when they eat the rice sent by the East Palace and receive the daily necessities sent to them by the East Palace?

One pound of top-notch fragrant rice can be exchanged for dozens of pounds of ordinary rice, toothpastes and toothbrushes imported from abroad, a large number of Zhongzhou's top cigarettes and wines, Zhonghua Suyan Moutai Wuliangye, dozens or hundreds of boxes were moved here, even the towels and bath towels are fucking Hermès

.

 What is this thing called?

 Is it ridicule? Is it showing off? Is it showing off one's strength?

 Neither of them.

Every veteran of the Li family knows that it is not the case. It is not to ridicule them for making a wrong choice, or to show off that the East Palace is so rich that it rivals the country. Everyone, including Li Mingxiao, knows it.

neither.

 This is the child's promise.

That child that many of them knew, that child that many of them watched grow up, that child who once lived with them in a shabby camp on the border of Central Continent without enough food, cigarettes, alcohol, and vegetables and meat, was miserable.

A child who is miserable but always wants to help the Li family rise again.

 He said he would let the people of Li family live the best life.

   is a member of the Li family.

There are people from the Li family in Tiandu Purgatory and the Eastern Palace.

These large quantities of almost ostentatious and extravagant materials entering the headquarters of Tiandu Purgatory were all Li Tianlan's promises back then.

 They are on Kuangtu Li’s side.

 Some of them can no longer be regarded as Li Tianlan’s elders or friends, nor can they be regarded as Li Tianlan’s enemies.

 But in Li Tianlan’s eyes, they are all members of the Li family.

It can't be said that he is indecisive or anything else. As long as he is a member of the Li family, in Li Tianlan's heart, he deserves to be forgiven.

 Dawn and dawn are silent.

 The two of them squatted at the gate of Tiandu Purgatory and finished the food in front of them in silence.

 Ling Ming packed up his things, sat on the ground without any image, and handed Li Ming a special grade Zhongzhou cigarette.

“Would you like to try a cigar? It’s the best in America. I tried it. It’s not bad, but I’m not used to it.”

Liming asked.

 Liao Xiao shook his head, lit the cigarette, and gave a bitter smile.

“Now we are in a bit of chaos internally.”

Ling Li said softly: "Hua Zhang has been very angry recently. He almost got into a fight with Tong Ming yesterday. When we were making dinner just now, I had a few words with him and we parted on bad terms."

When he spoke, his voice was calm, but there was a hint of melancholy in his eyes that could not be concealed.

In terms of blood relationship, Li Huazhang is Li Kuangtu's cousin. Li Tianlan has been called uncle since he was a child. He went to East Island to join Tiandu Purgatory about ten years ago. Compared with some veterans, Li Huazhang is

The few members of the Li family who survived after the collapse of the Li family were at the peak of the Thunder Realm and are now the backbone of Tiandu Purgatory.

It's just that the relationship between Li Huazhang and Li Kuangtu is not very good. He has always supported Li Tianlan before. Although he is here, his heart is still thinking about the East Palace. In recent times, Li Huazhang has become more and more angry, and he is furious.

It's so shameful that I even started fighting with someone some time ago.

“Hua Zhang is not the only one who is getting more and more angry, right?”

Dawn smiled.

 The corners of Li Ming's mouth moved, but he hesitated to speak, and finally remained silent.

 Of course Li Huazhang is not the only one.

 But a lot.

The friends who once fought side by side with them, laughed and cursed through life and death, could block knives for each other, and even die for each other, now have some sense of being different and not working together.

There are many people in Tiandu Purgatory who support Li Tianlan.

Diao Xiao Liming knows this, and Li Kuangtu also knows it, but there is no solution.

 The relationship between Tiandu Purgatory and the Eastern Imperial Palace is inherently complex, and it is impossible to explain it thoroughly.

These people are now staying in Tiandu Purgatory. Some want to fight to prevent the Li family from splitting, some want to win over more people for Li Tianlan, and some are in a dilemma and don't want Li Tianlan and Li Kuangtu to turn against each other. There are many reasons.

After Li Tianlan appeared in Tiandu Purgatory and sealed the place, these people were the calmest, even the happiest.

 But these people have also been the most angry during this period of time.

 It’s not just them.

Li Ming and Li Xiao could clearly feel that even some people who were close to them, or even stood in Li Kuangtu's camp, now have subtle changes in their attitude. They are gradually alienating them, and their attitudes towards them are becoming more and more negative.

indifferent.

reason?

 The reason is because of the outside world.

People here cannot leave, but news from the outside world can come in.

When the news came that Jiang Shangyu, Gu Xingyun, and Li Kuangtu were teaming up to besiege Li Tianlan, the entire Tiandu Purgatory headquarters was in an uproar. If it hadn't been suppressed by dawn, there might have been civil strife in Tiandu Purgatory that day.

Split.

Li Kuangtu.

 At that time, because of Li Kuangtu, the Li family declined completely.

That was Gu Xingyun's conspiracy and the Beihai Wang family's desperate counterattack. The winner was the king and the loser was the enemy. No one blamed him.

  古行云.

 It was he who became the Li family back then and became what he is now.

How many people in the Li family hate Gu Xingyun deeply?

 And now, Li Kuangtu and Gu Xingyun have joined forces to deal with Li Honghe’s chosen successor?

 How ridiculous is this?

 Where will this kind of alliance put the old people of the Li family?

 Where will such a joint effort put the hardships they, the elderly, have suffered over the years?

 Where will this kind of alliance put the hatred of the veterans who died in the past few years?

 Does this kind of alliance mean that after Tiandu Purgatory lifts the blockade, they will stand together with Gu Xingyun to deal with Li Tianlan?!

 Li Huazhang, who is usually gentle and calm, cursed on the spot, scolding Kuangtu Li, scolding Li Xiao, scolding them as lackeys standing next to Gu Xingyun.

This angered some people, but it made more people in Kuangtu Li’s camp unable to even raise their heads.

The internal conflict that was about to break out was suppressed by the power of the invincible realm at dawn.

 But since that day, at dawn, it can be clearly felt that the people's hearts in Tiandu Purgatory have become cold.

On that night, three Li family masters who had left the Li family camp earlier and had chosen to support Kuang Li for many years found Li Xiaoxiao and said straight to the point that they would join the East Palace after the Tiandu Purgatory was lifted from the blockade.

 This is not betrayal.

Li Kuangtu’s cooperation with Gu Xingyun was tantamount to him giving up the support of old people like Li.

 Since they gave up, it is natural for them to leave.

Li Tianlan still regards Tiandu Purgatory as part of the Li family.

 They also consider themselves to be members of the Li family.

 This position has been established many years ago.

 Now let the Li family's people stand with Gu Xingyun to deal with their own people.

 They cannot accept it and cannot do it.

This is betrayal.

 “Brother, I did indeed do something wrong.”

 Li Ming was silent for a long time before speaking in a low voice.

When the decisive battle of Beihai broke out, Tiandu Purgatory made a detailed battle plan. Their main goal at that time was to recapture the East Island.

 But no matter how that plan develops, it cannot involve joining forces with Gu Xingyun.

No one expected that Li Kuangtu would actually walk together with Gu Xingyun.

 He abandoned Li's obsession that he had held on to for many years. In a sense, this was a betrayal.

  Such betrayal also made him lose his support.

“Now we can’t see eldest brother, and no one knows what’s going on. I don’t believe that eldest brother doesn’t understand the disadvantages of joining forces with Gu Xingyun.”

Li Xiao said softly: "I can understand the mood of Hua Zhang and the others, but at least I have to give my eldest brother a chance to explain."

“Maybe it’s because of interests? Maybe it’s because of the prospects, or maybe it’s because the Eastern Palace puts too much pressure on my eldest brother.”

Li Ming said carefully: "Jiang Shangyu should be the key, otherwise with my brother's temperament, no matter what, it is impossible for Gu Xingyun to join forces with us, and Gu Xingyun will not be able to join forces with us. Jiang Shangyu is the key, Jiang Shangyu

..."

 Ling Ming shook her head suddenly, sat on the ground with a gloomy face, and said nothing.

“You have some thoughts on this matter, right?”

 Handbreak glanced at him and laughed: "Are you dissatisfied?"

"have."

 Ling Ming was silent for a while before nodding.

 “Hate?”

 Dawn continued to ask.

 Ling Ming nodded, then shook his head: "I hate Gu Xingyun."

 “Then what do you think of this matter?”

 Hook Xiao looked into Li Ming’s eyes and asked.

 Liming’s eyes were in a daze. He didn’t know how long it had been before he lit a cigarette, took a long drag, and said softly: “I will not join forces with Gu Xingyun, but I will support my elder brother.”

“This is a good sentence. It doesn’t let Mr. Li down, nor does it let down my own position. But, do you still have a chance to support him?”

The dull voice sounded very suddenly.

The sword energy surrounding Tiandu Purgatory fluctuated slightly for a moment, and then the entire sword energy that enveloped the sky was violently turbulent.

 Li Tianlan’s figure appeared directly in mid-air.

 He looked down at the dawn, his eyes calm and condescending.

 The entire Tiandu Purgatory was completely shocked in an instant.

 One after another, the masters in Tiandu Purgatory walked out of their rooms and quickly gathered towards the door.

 Everyone looked at Li Tianlan with extremely complicated eyes.

 The look at dawn and dawn is more complex.

 Especially at dawn.

 He couldn't help but think of his first meeting with Li Tianlan when they were in Dongdao.

At that time, if he had not taken action, would the current situation be different?

 But how could it be possible not to take action?

Li Xiao looked at him silently for a long time before saying hoarsely: "What did you do to His Highness?"

Li Tianlan glanced at him, then at the crowd gradually gathering in Tiandu Purgatory, and said calmly: "I'll kill him."

 At dawn, my body was shaken violently, and my color completely changed: "What did you say?!"

 “Kuantu Li is dead.”

Li Tianlan said lightly.
