Slowly, the Red Mist Woman turned her head to look at Du Yu, holding him before her eyes.
"Heh~" The Red Mist Woman let out a soft laugh. To everyone’s surprise, she leaned in slightly, her lips gently pressing against Du Yu’s forehead.
What is this? A killing blow to the heart?
"Hehe~ hehe~ hahaha!" The woman’s laughter was haughty and increasingly wanton, casually tossing Du Yu to the ground, allowing a group of Red-robed People to swarm over.
At the instant Du Yu was disarmed, at the window of the fourth floor of the Shadow Gu Tower, the Demon Soldier Linked Beads were "spat" out once again.
One by one, Red-robed People escorted struggling, crying Black-robed People out of the corpse-filled small village.
Du Yu and Lin Shiwei finally converged, held at the rear of the line by Red-robed People, their hands bound, stumbling forward.
The two exchanged a glance, their expressions both very somber.
The Shadow Gu Tower opened its heart once again.
About its experiences after its master’s death, about allowing Du Yu to empathize, about its tragedy, its helplessness, and its aiding the enemy, deeds written in blood...
At the rear of the procession, the Red Mist Woman sent out a pillar of fire from her hand, burning the corpses beneath her feet.
She moved with the procession, throwing Hollow Fire Cannons at the surrounding houses.
"Boom..." The sound of walls shattering and houses collapsing came one after another, raging flames quickly ignited, illuminating the small village under the night sky.
In this scene of horrific slaughter, in this fiery ruin of a village.
Du Yu and the others followed the procession, walking out of the village entrance, stepping over the broken stone bridge.
When passing the wordless stone tablet by the bridge, Du Yu’s vision blurred, and the scene shifted again!
Shadow Gu Tower·Fifth Floor!
In the mountain woods under the moonlit night, the team escorting prisoners stumbled forward.
The scent of grass and earth filled their nostrils, but the pitiful sobbing of Black-robed People echoed in their ears.
Lin Shiwei drooped her eyelids, feeling somewhat downcast.
She knew she had reached the fifth floor, but there was little joy in her heart because she knew that she was about to be thrown into the Bottomless Pit.
Suddenly, Yang Qingqing’s voice drifted into her ears, unusually gentle: "Your Demon Pets are already with me. After some simple treatment, they are fine."
"Mm~" Xiaoyan’s soft moan, followed by the coquettish voices of the Rose Double Spirit.
Evidently, Yang Qingqing had intentionally had the Demon Pets do this, to reassure the two Demon Tamers carrying out their mission.
Along with the sounds of the Demon Pets, Du Yu faintly sensed Xiaoyan’s guilt through the Spirit Contract.
It seemed she was blaming herself for failing to protect her master.
"Don’t be , Xiaoyan, it’s I who dragged you down." Du Yu felt a bit of bitterness in his heart, conveying a message, "The difficulty here is too high. We are all powerless."
Yang Qingqing: "I will give them further treatment. You two, pull yourselves together, don’t give up, and lift your spirits!"
"Okay." As the escorting team approached the edge of the deep pit step by step, Du Yu slightly raised his head.
Under the moonlit night, on the hillock not far away, he saw two familiar figures.
It was his past selves.
The young man and woman lying on the hillock, peering out, watching the Black-robed People being pushed into the Bottomless Pit.
And behind the young man and woman was a woman dressed in a black woolen coat, holding up a black rain umbrella.
Du Yu silently lowered his head, finally being pushed to the edge of the deep pit.
So, you were standing behind us all along, quietly watching everything.
