A silver-haired old man in a gray robe suddenly appeared and used incredible magical powers to save everyone at the critical moment. Everyone immediately bowed and saluted. It turned out that he was the ancestor of the Black Demon Clan!
However, the gray-robed old man turned a blind eye to these people. His old eyes stared blankly at the black flame demon sword in Zhong Zihao's hand, with a complex light of reverence and grief flashing in his eyes.
After a while, he asked cautiously: "How come Master Zhu's black flame demon sword is in your hand?"
Zhong Zihao was paused when he heard the words. He thought about various possibilities, including how to face the anger of the old man in gray robe, but he did not expect such a sentence to come.
In fact, he gave up all thoughts the first time he saw the other person. Because he could clearly feel that this person must be at the same level as Old Man Wuwei, Venerable Dongxu, and the Dragon Clan Ancestor.
.
In fact, he had already guessed that the Black Demon Clan, as one of the three major branches of the Demon Clan, would not have such an old immortal sitting in charge, but he still had a bit of luck in his heart.
Especially when he saw that Qin Zhining and Murong Wan were both injured, especially when the latter was beaten to the last breath by the elder with a mustache, he had already put aside all worries.
But at this moment, looking at the old man's expectant eyes, and even some pleading eyes, he still told the truth: "Back to my predecessors, the Black Flame Demon Sword was obtained from the Tongheng Battle Domain, and later found the weapon spirit in the Heavenly Vault Holy Realm.
, was able to return to the level of a peak artifact."
"oh!"
The old man in gray robe answered softly, with a complex expression on his face that seemed to be both disappointing and gratifying.
"Ancestor, this demon is from the human race. He killed the Sixth Elder, destroyed most of Amaterasu City, and..."
When the princess saw and heard the conversation between the old man and Zhong Zihao, she didn't know why, but it could be due to her hatred of the latter, so she immediately reported it.
"I know!" The old man interrupted her and said, "We will talk about these later."
That was obviously not what he cared about at the moment. He didn't care about the princess's reaction at all and said to Zhong Zihao: "Little guy, I have something to ask you alone!"
The princess and the other two elders were shocked, including Jun Mo and Jun Tianxiao. They really didn't understand what kind of medicine this ancestor was selling in his gourd. How could he have such an attitude towards the murderer who killed his clan members?
Zhong Zihao was also very surprised, but he could roughly guess something and replied: "The seniors don't dare to disobey the juniors when they tell them, but these two friends of mine..."
Because the gray-robed old man said that he would be asked alone, the implication was that no one was allowed to be present, so Murong Wan, who was still on his back, was no exception.
The old man in gray robe was slightly startled, and then his eyes fell on the princess, as if asking. Then he saw that the princess's lips were slightly open, probably reporting the situation to the former.
After a while, the old man in gray robe frowned slightly, but he still replied: "You can leave the girl on your back here first. I guarantee that she will be absolutely safe before you come out."
"Thank you, senior!"
Zhong Zihao was quite relieved about the promise made by the gray-robed old man, and he immediately bowed respectfully.
In fact, as long as this old guy is here, no matter how powerful he is, even if all his secrets are revealed, he will not be able to escape and ascend to heaven. As for the former, there is no need to use such despicable means to keep him.
In the face of absolute strength, any strategy pales in comparison.
So at this time, Zhong Zihao had no choice but to listen to the arrangement of the old man in gray robe.
He immediately put away the Black Flame Demon Sword, jumped down, and landed next to the high platform. Obviously, this high platform was also protected by someone, otherwise it would have been destroyed by the battle just now.
Zhong Zihao gently placed Murong Wan on the ground and said softly to her: "Wan'er, wait for me here first."
"Okay, don't worry, just go with your seniors!"
Murong Wan is extremely intelligent and considerate. Even if she is seriously injured, she will not allow herself to become a burden to the man in front of her.
Zhong Zihao gave her a grateful smile and asked the old man in gray robe again: "Senior, the girl on the stage is also a friend of this junior. She is currently seriously injured. This junior has elixirs that can quickly heal her physical injuries."
"Okay!" The gray-robed old man replied calmly.
He had already agreed to the first request and was not in a hurry.
When Zhong Zihao stepped onto the high platform, the old man presiding over the ceremony immediately stepped back, looking at him as if he had seen a ghost.
Zhong Zihao didn't care about this person. After walking a few steps, he saw Qin Zhining sealed in a defensive barrier.
He briefly tested the strength of this barrier and knew that it would not be easy to break even if he used the divine weapon with all his strength. It seemed that Ning'er's importance in the princess's heart was indeed not low.
"Happy princess!"
Zhong Zihao turned around and signaled the princess to take action to break the barrier. With a ready candidate present, of course he would ask for help, not to mention that if he forced the barrier to be broken, he would be worried about hurting Qin Zhining.
"snort!"
The princess snorted coldly and reluctantly came to the stage to untie the defensive barrier. Zhong Zihao took out the fountain of life and drank it for Qin Zhining without saying a word.
The rest are all extraordinary people with extensive knowledge. Just by looking at the extremely rich breath of life, they know that this is a rare healing medicine.
"After the ancestor has finished communicating with him, we must kill this kid. It seems that he has a lot of treasures."
This was undoubtedly what the princess and the two elders had in mind. The scene was chaotic when Zhong Zihao rescued Murong Wan, so they didn't pay much attention. They probably used the fountain of life to rescue the woman in white.
"Um?"
The healing effect of the Fountain of Life was so amazing that Qin Zhining slowly woke up on the spot, suddenly saw Zhong Zihao in front of her, and exclaimed: "What are you doing?"
"Ning'er, don't be angry. Your soul is seriously injured. When you get back, I will slowly find a way to recover for you." Zhong Zihao forced a smile and said softly.
"I don't need you to worry about my injury!" Qin Zhining gritted her teeth and replied coldly.
Zhong Zihao shook his head, exited the high platform, cast a reassuring look at Murong Wan, clasped his fists and said to the gray-robed old man: "Senior, this junior can go with you!"
The old man nodded and gently raised a hand. Without seeing how he acted, Zhong Zihao noticed that the surrounding space was chaotic. The next moment, he appeared in a closed secret room.
The secret room was not big, about ten feet in diameter. He guessed that this place might be located in the stone building, or in a space underground under the stone building.
Not far ahead, the old man was already sitting cross-legged on a futon. He stretched out his hand and pointed, and there was a futon a few feet away.
"Little guy, sit down!" the old man in gray robe said.
"Thank you, senior!" Zhong Zihao bowed without restraint and took a few steps forward to sit down.
The old man looked at Zhong Zihao with a faint smile: "Is that old bastard Wuwei sending you here?"
Zhong Zihao was stunned, didn't this old man care about the Black Flame Demon Sword very much? Why did he ask this question again?
