Mr. Yi's face looked a little strange: "Human figure? You haven't encountered the 'disaster' that the great elder said, have you?"

"..."

Song Ci stopped talking.

He was sitting alone in front of the heart-washing pool. At the beginning of this dream, he thought that these disasters came from himself, but now it seems that this is not the case.

Once a disaster occurs in an extraordinary person, there is no room for recovery.

Judging from the situation just now, if you encounter the "black shadow", there will definitely be a battle.

But in the end, the disaster happened, and it disappeared without anything happening.

"It looks like the 'disaster' contained in the heart-washing pool."

He recalled what the great elder had said before, but there was one thing he still couldn't figure out. If there was a disaster locking him in the water of the Heart Washing Pool, why did it suddenly dissipate?

Once this disaster is locked, will it disappear on its own?

"Why do I feel like this 'disaster' is controlled by humans?"

Song Ci narrowed his eyes.

He remembered Gu Shen's reminder that the temple has been looking for the [Immortal] in the past few years. In this heart-washing pool trial, the great elder is likely to take action against him.

So... the disaster just now was probably controlled by the great elder?

Thinking of this, Song Ci began to look for traces of the great elder.

I looked around to no avail.

He found a holy judge and got straight to the point: "I want to see the great elder of the temple."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Song, the great elder has already left."

The Holy Judge's reply was very cold. Because Song Ci soaked in the Heart Washing Pool before, the Holy Judges here didn't want to talk to him. Now that the trial is over, no one even wants to take the initiative to take him to receive the Dream of Fire.

.

But Song Ci doesn’t care about the “dream of fire” either.

He came to participate in the Fire Trial in Xizhou just to see what tricks the temple was playing.

"He left. Shouldn't he be the one presiding over such a major ceremony as the Heart-Cleaning Pond Trial? Do you, the Great Elder, have any basic morals? Why can't you find someone at the critical moment?"

Song Ci frowned and asked, "When did he leave?"

"..."

Naturally, there was no response to this inquiry.

The Holy Judge just stared at Song Ci coldly.

News of the second elder's death has spread within the temple...

Many people are immersed in grief, but this news has not yet been made public.

Everyone knows it.

The first elder and the second elder have a very good relationship. They have known each other for most of their lives. They have gone through so many years of ups and downs, and they have fought against Pluto and the Red Emperor in the north together.

Now Elder Yuanyang is dead.

How could the great elder continue to preside over the heart-cleansing trial?

Song Ci looked at the angry look the Holy Judge cast on him and was confused. Finally, an elder came in person and took him away to receive the Dream of Fire. This trial was finally over.

…

…

The wind stopped.

The silent world has become noisy.

The deep alleys of the secret prison are rarely visited on weekdays.

Nowadays, there are many more figures.

The extremely lively "Sacred Parade" was still being held in Guangming City. Those believers still didn't know what was going on. Some thoughtful people discovered that several blocks around it were blocked, and a large number of [Heavy Armored Attendants] appeared. As for the general public,

The deep alley leading to the entrance to the secret prison is now even more surrounded by water.

The elders who had a place in the temple all came here.

They stood silently in the Holy Light Barrier, looking at the dark entrance to the secret cell, waiting for the final conclusion.

And outside the crowd, in the darkness where light cannot shine.

There was a weak residual wind, sweeping the fallen leaves and spinning them on the ground.

Gu Nanfeng watched this scene silently.

He looked back with a complicated expression and looked at the palm resting on his shoulder.

Behind him, there was deeper darkness.

There was actually a figure standing there.

When Gu Nanfeng reached out, the man standing further back in the darkness also stretched out his hand and pressed his shoulder steadily and forcefully.

"If you choose to force your way into the secret prison, you may have a chance to successfully see Meng Xizhou... but you will never be able to take him out."

In the dark shadows, an evil ghost's face slowly emerged.

The evil ghost's face was very ferocious, but his tone was extremely gentle: "Look how many people have been welcomed into the secret prison in these few minutes?"

There was a slight pause.

The evil ghost smiled and said: "Yao Jin has been waiting for you. As long as you take one step forward... you will be beyond redemption."

"..."

Gu Nanfeng could only remain silent.

Because what the evil ghost said was right.

"I thought you saw his intention." The evil ghost continued.

"I know he's waiting for me."

Gu Nanfeng said softly: "But I still want to give it a try... I can take hostages."

"You want to kidnap Su Ye and Yao Jin? It's useless. You can't leave the secret prison even if you hold them hostage."

The evil ghost shook his head and said: "Because they themselves are shadows. Even if they stand under the light, they still cannot change this fact. The meaning of the existence of shadows is to be able to contribute to the light one day."

Gu Nanfeng looked back at the dark and profound evil ghost mask.

"You...why do you want to help me?"

He asked seriously, word by word: "Who are you?"
