The knife was already placed on his neck, but the speed of this man's appearance was still far faster than Xia Shang thought.
However, the other party had no intention of taking action immediately. He just gently put the knife on Xia Shang's shoulder, seemingly nonchalantly.
But Xia Shang believed that with the opponent's strength, if Xia Shang made any unscrupulous move, the opponent would be able to chop off Xia Shang's head in an instant.
Glancing at the dim light on his neck, Xia Shang showed a little sweat on his forehead, but his voice seemed calm.
"Who are you? Are you Ling Si or is he Ling Si?"
"Have you finally discovered this problem?" The person behind him sneered.
"Since you don't plan to kill me immediately, why don't you tell the truth at this time and be more or less honest?"
"How could someone like Lingsi become the leader of the mission? He is just a simple tool. His Excellency Donghuang will not give him such an important task. I am Lingsi, ranked number one in Haige in the world.
Samurai Ling Si is nothing in front of me."
"Zero one..." Xia Shang frowned. Just hearing this number was shocking enough, "No wonder... no wonder I feel that your strength has improved a lot this time you came to Dahua. It turns out that you are just two people."
"It's too late to know this now... I'm curious, why did Master Xia come to this place at this time?"
"Whatever you do is what I do for." Xia Shang responded calmly and looked at the blade again, "And I also know that you have no intention of killing me now because you have been looking here for a long time and have not found you.
Something you want.”
The person behind was silent for a while, and his voice became deeper: "Since you know my thoughts, you should also know the reason why I don't kill you. You should know better than me about the legend of the Book of Heaven, and in this palace, you will know better than me.
I know better. I heard that the general outline of the Book of Heaven is in this tower. But there are too many ancient books here, which one is the right one?"
"Since we are all looking for the general outline of the Heavenly Book, there is no need to be so tense now..."
After Xia Shang finished speaking, he gently pinched Ling Yi's blade with his hand, and then gently took it away from him.
Ling Yi stared at Xia Shang, watching his movements, but did not stop him. It was not until Xia Shang completely left his shoulder that Ling Si slowly stopped.
Returned the knife.
Ling Yi said nothing and stared at Xia Shang silently for a while. Seeing that Xia Shang had not moved for a long time, he pushed Xia Shang: "Do you know what you should do?"
"According to my observation, there are bookshelves all around the wall of this black tower, and all the bookshelves are full of books. You don't want me to search for books one by one, right? Even if I have a whole day
, I can’t find it out either.”
"You have been here for a while and have read a lot of books. You should have discovered something?"
Xia Shang looked back at the dark figure: "You are really smart. I entered so carefully, but you still discovered me."
"Say it quickly!" Zero One was a little impatient.
Xia Shang smiled, picked up a book, and flipped through it: "They are all old books from the previous dynasty, and they are all insignificant things. Although they have some value, they are obviously not precious."
"Then why are they concentrated in this black tower?"
"You ask me, who should I ask?"
Zero Yi raised his eyebrows and immediately made a move to draw the knife.
"Don't be nervous, I know what you are thinking. Do you think that since I am Chinese and have a special status in the capital, I can enter and leave the palace at will, so I will know the palace very well, right?"
Zero One paused slightly and stopped moving his hands.
Xia Shang took another look at him: "If things were really as easy as you think, the general outline of the Heavenly Book would have been made public to the world long ago. No one in the world knows where the general outline of the Heavenly Book is, but the possibility is higher here.
So you have to be patient. Even if you really find the outline of the Heavenly Book here, you won't be able to take it away so easily. Although we are in peace now, if you really find the outline of the Heavenly Book, do you think I will still be here to follow you?
Are you gossiping?"
"Hmph..." Ling Yi snorted coldly, "Looking at your tone, is it possible that you still have the ability to compete with me?"
Xia Shang did not refute, leaving a sneer.
Zero Yi frowned and stopped talking.
After another half a minute, Xia Shang sighed: "These are all insignificant books. If the general outline of the Heavenly Book is here, there is a very small chance that it will be mixed in. I wonder if you feel the difference here?"
"You mean the cyclone on the black tower?"
"It seems that you also
I noticed it. Such an obvious vision is obviously accompanied by something unusual. According to my judgment, only the General Outline of the Heavenly Book can cause such a phenomenon. If you want to find the General Outline of the Heavenly Book, you must first confirm the point where the cyclone was formed just now.
Where, you don’t understand such a simple truth?”
After listening to what Xia Shang said, Ling Yi felt that it made sense. He gradually backed away, pondering over the direction of the cyclone he had just seen outside.
The cyclone just appeared at the top of the tower, which corresponds to the center of the black tower.
But the light inside the black tower is dim. Except for a few subtle light sources, walking inside is a thick black fog, and it is impossible to determine where the center is.
Xia Shang looked at Ling Yi, wondering what this man was going to do.
While Xia Shang was guessing, a fire suddenly lit up not far away.
Zero One's knuckles were actually on fire, and the little bits of fire were extremely conspicuous in the dark black tower.
Although the fire is small, it is enough to illuminate a small black tower.
As the surrounding scenery appeared, everything around him confirmed Xia Shang's thoughts.
The black tower is surrounded by bookshelves and there is nothing on the ground. It is really an empty shell.
Xia Shang scanned around and before he could see the entire interior of the black tower, his eyes stopped on Ling Yi.
Zero One pulled out his knife and took a defensive posture...
Xia Shang frowned slightly, Zero One's back was facing him, and the other party seemed to have seen something.
Being able to make Ling Yi assume such a posture, one can imagine the result, which is exactly what Xia Shang imagined.
Thinking of that person, Xia Shang became nervous uncontrollably and moved his steps to carefully adjust his position.
The firelight loomed, and the interior of the black tower was finally revealed. In the center of the black tower, where the top of the tower pointed, there was a very monotonous and abrupt chair. It was too far away to see the shape of the chair, but there was a
The thin figure stood there motionless.
Seeing this figure, Xia Shang's heart skipped a beat, as if he could feel a familiar aura coming towards him.
Almost instantly, Xia Shang determined the identity of this man. He was the almost possessed emperor.
Before Xia Shang could recover, Ling Si in front had already drawn his sword, and his figure disappeared without a trace in an instant.
