In the valley, the atmosphere was extremely depressing.
Everyone's eyes fell on the old man in gray robe, his breathing was rapid and his eyes were full of solemnity.
Ye Chen was hit by an arrow and was not dead. He was only slightly injured. The strength of the old man in gray robe far exceeded everyone's expectations. Even if he lost four powerful men of the holy way, he could kill them all by himself.
Five people, it just takes a little time.
"You guys leave the valley first, I'll break up the rear." At this moment, Yan Xiu's eyes darkened and he uttered an inaudible voice, which made everyone's hearts tremble. Yan Xiu wanted to resist the gray-robed old man alone in exchange for the four of them.
get away?
"Let me help you, Su Qingxue and Ye Yao, you two protect Ye Chen." Nie Feng stepped forward, looked into Yan Xiu's eyes, and both smiled faintly, their bodies flickering, blocking the way.
In front of Ye Chen and the other three, the aura from his body spread out without reservation.
Ye Chen is now in a weak state and cannot fight. With the strength of four people, it is almost impossible to break out of the siege. With five people dying here, it is better for two people to cut off the rear and hold on forcefully.
Time allowed Ye Chen and the others to escape.
This method is very helpless, and it is very likely that two people will be sacrificed, but it is better than five people dying here.
"Is there really no other way?" There was a glint in Su Qingxue's eyes. The five of them had reunited not long ago, and now they were about to be separated, and they might be separated forever. It was too cruel, and she couldn't accept it.
Ye Chen and Ye Yao also had troubled expressions on their faces. No one expected that they would be intercepted and killed by such a powerful person as soon as they stepped into the valley.
Turning his eyes, he saw that the old man in gray robe had already walked in front of everyone. There was a bloody hole in the palm of his right hand, and blood was dripping down, dyeing the ground blood red. He lowered his head and said nothing, making the whole person
The space was frozen, like the calm before the storm.
Plop!
A muffled sound sounded, like a thunderous explosion, which made the five people's hearts tremble. However, when they saw the scene that happened next, everyone's eyes fell into a dull state at this moment, their heads went blank, and they were stunned.
He was frozen in place, unable to move.
In the field of vision, the old man in gray robe took a step forward. Without warning, he suddenly knelt down, bowed his back slightly, and almost put his head on the ground. At the same time, he said loudly in a very respectful voice: "Old man.
I am a slave to the blood of Qin, and I am going to see the king and ask for your forgiveness!"
Plop! Plop!
Two more muffled sounds were heard, and two men in black standing not far away also knelt down on one knee, with their heads pressed against the ground.
Such a change was so sudden that it caught everyone off guard.
A moment ago, they thought it was impossible to escape this disaster, and Yan Xiu and Nie Feng were even prepared to sacrifice themselves so that Ye Chen and the others could leave safely. How heroic and helpless.
But at this moment, the old man in gray robe, together with the two men in black, all knelt down and shouted the word "King". There was no anger in them, let alone murderous intention. Only the courtiers faced the respect of the king.
Even in awe.
"How could I forget this!"
Xuanyuan Xiu's voice sounded, with a hint of sudden realization, and he said to Ye Chen: "Ye Chen, although this is not the Heavenly Blood Holy Palace, it must be an independent space specially arranged by the Heavenly Blood Saint King. This gray
The old man in the robe is so familiar with this valley, he is probably the guardian of this valley!"
Xuanyuan Xiu's words were like a flash of spiritual light, making Ye Chen suddenly enlightened.
"The Holy King of Heavenly Blood is a strong man from the Saint Clan, so the people he sends must also be from the Saint Clan. In other words, this old man in gray robe is from the Saint Clan!" Ye Chen was shocked. No wonder the old man in gray robe would do what he did.
With such a move, it turned out that he recognized Ye Chen's identity!
After thinking about everything clearly, Ye Chen couldn't help but have a wry smile on his face. Just now, as soon as they entered the valley, they were intercepted and killed by the old man in gray robe. Everyone's minds were tense and they didn't think of this crucial point at all.
Even old monsters like Xuanyuan Xiu had forgotten about it. He suddenly remembered it after hearing the words of the old man in gray robe.
"Yao'er, help me up." Ye Chen said softly. With Ye Yao's help, he stood up unsteadily, moved his steps lightly, and walked forward with some difficulty.
Seeing this, Nie Feng and others became nervous and were about to speak out, but Ye Chen waved his hand and gave them a reassuring look.
Walking in front of the gray-robed old man, Ye Chen could feel the gray-robed old man's body trembling. This was not because of anger, let alone murderous intent, but because of awe. He didn't even dare to raise his head and pressed close to him.
Touch the ground.
"Get up." Ye Chen said lightly, causing the gray-robed old man's body to tremble even more. He lowered his head and said, "This old slave deserves to die. He failed to realize the king's identity and allowed the king to suffer such serious injuries. If the king didn't
For punishment, the old slave general will not be able to kneel down."
Hearing this, Ye Chen felt a little helpless, raised his eyebrows, and said: "Since you call me the king, then you are the minister. The king's orders, the ministers have to obey, if I ask you to get up, you should
Get up, otherwise you will be disobedient."
The gray-robed old man's heart trembled. He did not dare to disobey anymore and stood up abruptly. However, he still bowed and lowered his eyes, not daring to look directly into Ye Chen's eyes.
"The Saint Clan has a strong status, and the principle of respect and inferiority has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. What's more, you are the king of the Saint Clan, carrying the inheritance fire of the Saint Clan, and the status of this old man in gray robe is not high. Seeing you,
Naturally, you will be so respectful, so you don’t have to feel helpless." Xuanyuan Xiu reminded Ye Chen.
Ye Chen understood in his heart, regained his composure, and asked the gray-robed old man: "How did you discover my identity?"
From the moment he stepped into the valley to now, Ye Chen has not used the ancient totem, nor has he used the elemental formation on the ancient totem. Logically speaking, it is impossible for the gray-robed old man to discover his identity, which makes Ye Chen very confused.
"The king doesn't know something. The skill practiced by this old slave is quite strange. It can identify one's identity from the blood. The arrow shot by the king just now contains your blood, so the old slave can naturally identify you." The old man in gray robe.
Ye Chen was slightly surprised by his explanation. There was such a strange technique in the world that could identify one's identity from blood.
But after thinking about it, Ye Chen felt relieved.
The saints come from the Qianlong World, and the techniques they practice must be unusual and cannot be judged by common sense. What's more, if the old man in gray robe hadn't happened to practice such a wonderful technique, perhaps the five of them would really have died here.
.
"Are they also members of the Saint Clan?" Ye Chen pointed at the two men in black, feeling a little embarrassed. Just now, the five of them took action and killed four men in black. Although he was the king of the Saint Clan, he made
This kind of thing seems a little bad.
"Them?" The gray-robed old man was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "The king has misunderstood. These two people are not of the same race, they are just blood slaves refined by the old master."
"Blood slave?" Ye Chen frowned slightly.
The old man in gray robe nodded and continued to explain: "Yes, these two people were strong men of the God Clan in life. After being killed by the old master, he used secret methods to carve blood marks on their bodies, thus making them mindless.
Blood slaves, strictly speaking, they are no longer living beings, but a kind of dead creature. Not only them, except for the four guardians, everything in the entire space, whether it is a spiritual beast or a holy beast, is
