Hell Emperor

Chapter 250 Ren Changhong-Portrait

"Commander, all the hundreds of households in Yinlong Township were slaughtered by the purple-eyed demon. Now I am the only one left alive... You must make the decision for us..."

"Commander Zhang Long, all the thousands of households in the drinking stream were spared and were brutally murdered. Even the cattle and sheep they grazed were all killed. The water in the mountain stream was completely dyed red. The man threatened that if you don't let go of those people, As a young dragon, she will kill more people until the Yellow Dragon Army is wiped out..."

"Qinglin Cliff was attacked, causing heavy casualties. A conservative estimate is that thousands of people died... Commander, what should we do?"

"Everyone in the Black Stone Forest was destroyed..."

The unfavorable news from his subordinates flooded Zhang Long like a tide. While he was upset, he couldn't help but sweat beads on his forehead.

In less than a day, nearly 10,000 casualties occurred in the area around Wanglong Peak. If this trend continues, I am afraid that within a week, all the Huanglong Army will be wiped out, and he will be the only one left alive, which can be said to exist in name only. .

"Damn it...they actually attacked those innocent people in an attempt to force me to submit..." The enemy's actions made Zhang Long heartbroken. He raised his head and shouted, "How could this happen... His Majesty said that when the real dragon comes again from the south, On that day, he will definitely save us from the sea of ​​misery. Now the real dragon is here, but what comes with the real dragon is not auspiciousness, but such a murderous calamity..."

Zhang Long's words made everyone around him feel solemn and speechless. Only a few sobs could be heard occasionally, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

"Could it be that Shenlong has abandoned us? This is impossible! The Great Sui Dynasty established the country with Shenlong, and Shenlong will definitely not abandon us. This must be Shenlong's test for us! Since the real dragon is unwilling to save us, then let Here comes our own true dragon!”

At the end of the sentence, Zhang Long's eyes darkened with a hint of determination. He looked at Meng Junyao who was imprisoned in the iron cage and ordered: "Take her to the Dragon Binding Lock!"

Hearing this, the surrounding soldiers were shocked and said in a trembling voice: "Commander, could it be that you are planning to..."

Zhang Long nodded with a heavy face: "The matter has come to this, and this is the only way to do it."

The surrounding soldiers carefully carried the iron cage away, their eyes showing deep fear, as if they were extremely afraid of something, but they did not dare to go against the wishes of Commander Zhang Long, so they had to execute it meticulously.

In the iron cage, Meng Junyao's dragon head trembled slightly. The nature of a real dragon to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages made her keenly aware of the crisis. She used her white dragon body to hit the iron cage fence, causing the iron cage to shake. , has not achieved any results, it is just a waste of effort.

"Ugh...who can come and save me..."

Silent fear welled up in her heart. Meng Junyao's dragon body curled up into a ball, and her figure could not stop trembling. Loneliness occupied her entire mind. There was also a glint in her dragon eyes, whimpering and longing for someone to save her.

Zhang Long stood there for a long time, with a bit of worry in his eyes. He didn't know whether this move was right or wrong. At this moment, another subordinate came quickly and reported:

"Commander Zhang Long, someone... or rather a ghost wants to see you."

"Ghost?" Zhang Long was stunned and quickly realized, "Could it be the souls of those who died in vain? Let them rest assured, I will definitely not let go of the purple-eyed monster, and will definitely help them avenge!"

"No...those two people are ghost missionaries from Hades." The subordinate replied.

"Hades..." Zhang Long couldn't help but change his face when he mentioned Hades. Even though he had ascended to the immortal throne, he was still full of fear of the netherworld where ghosts lived. "What are the ghosts doing here? Aren't they with us?" Are the Goguryeo people so close? Why are they looking for me?"

"They are not ordinary ghosts, they are..." His teeth trembled, and he said the extremely vicious name, "Shura!"

Hearing this, Zhang Long was shocked. Shura's status in the underworld was respected, which was not comparable to that of ordinary ghosts. Even the lowest-level Shura had a status far higher than his commander. He hurriedly said: "Go and invite Shura quickly." Come in!"

Under the leadership of his subordinates, the two Shura arrived as scheduled. One of them is wearing a white dress, showing a profound state of mind, while the other is wearing a black robe, showing no signs of appearance.

Although the two Shura didn't say a word, the evil ghost's face outlined on the mask still made the people around them shudder, and they felt that their aura instantly dropped to freezing point.

Zhang Long took a deep breath and took the initiative to speak: "I have heard about Shura for a long time, but when I saw him today, it is really extraordinary. I wonder why you two are looking for me?"

Ren Changhong reached into her arms and took out a scroll. She shook the scroll away, and saw a picture-perfect woman with picturesque features, peerless beauty, and as inhumane as a snow-capped mountain: "Have you ever Have you seen this person?”

Ye Jie took a quick glance and saw that the person in the portrait was none other than Shen Qingge.

Zhang Long nodded: "She came to my place not long ago. Why are you looking for her?"

"You have no right to interfere with Shura's actions." Ren Changhong said coldly, "However, since you are so cooperative, it doesn't hurt to tell you that this person has a grudge against me, and I am going to kill her!"

Zhang Long's eyes lit up. Behind Shura was the greatest force in the entire Hades. With Shura's help, whatever he did would be easy, and he quickly spoke:

"To be honest, this person's companions just had a fight with me. During their panic escape, I allowed me to capture one of them alive. Judging from the importance they attach to their companions, they will definitely come again."

Ye Jie took a deep breath, his heart sank, and he didn't know which of his companions was caught.

"Oh? Is there such a good thing?" Ren Changhong was overjoyed and raised the corners of his mouth. He didn't expect to find Shen Qingge's exact whereabouts so quickly. "Who did you catch? Can you let me see it?"

"Please come with me."

Zhang Long would not refuse and personally took the two Shura to the Dragon Binding Lock. On the way, he said sadly: "Your Excellency Shura, the group of people you are looking for can be said to be extremely evil. Their methods are cruel and they have done many evil things, including many innocent people. They all died in their hands. It must be because of this that they are hunted down by Shura. As long as we work together, we will definitely take down those thieves!"

Ye Jie became more and more confused as he listened, and couldn't help but say: "Wait a minute, is everything you said true?"

Zhang Long nodded vigorously: "Of course, this is what people in Wanglong Peak saw with their own eyes, so how can it be false? If you don't believe it, you can ask anyone around you."

"That's strange..."

Ye Jie pondered for a moment. In his memory, Shen Qingge and his other companions did not look like cruel and murderous people. Among them, Nan Linghe would feel distressed even if he trampled on flowers and plants. Why did Zhang Long say that he was so cruel and murderous? Has he become a murderer of innocent people?

After thinking about it, Ye Jie could only think of one possibility. The only person in his family who was decisive in killing and had a heart as strong as iron was his good apprentice Xia Wei. It must be Xia Wei who got into trouble again.

Thinking of this, Ye Jie couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead. He didn't know what Xia Wei and the others had experienced during his absence.

Ren Changhong glared at Ye Jie angrily: "I'm talking to him, but you don't have the right to interrupt. Just shut your mouth and listen honestly. Don't forget the only purpose of your coming here. , it turns into my ghost magic weapon, there is no need to talk about the ghost magic weapon!"

The corner of Ye Jie's mouth twitched: "Although I have never practiced the Nether Spirit Art, I also know that the Nether Spirit Art is definitely not what you said. If you can't connect your mind, the power of the Nether Spirit Magic Artifact will not be much stronger at all. You don’t even let me say anything, how can we be in touch with each other?”

Ren Changhong knew that he was in the wrong, so he did not refute. Instead, he snorted coldly: "Okay, let's just assume that what you said is right. What else do you have to say? Say it while I'm in a good mood."

Ye Jie touched his chin: "Speaking of which, what's going on with that portrait?"

"What do you mean?" Ren Changhong reached into his arms and took out the portrait.

In the portrait, Shen Qingge's beautiful face is vividly and lifelikely depicted. Even the cold temperament that repels people thousands of miles away is perfectly restored. The inadvertent brushstrokes reveal a bit of master's style, which makes People can't help but sigh, what a treasured painting that is completely made from nature.

Seeing Ye Jie staring thoughtfully at Shen Qingge's portrait without saying a word for a long time, Ren Changhong sneered:

"What? Could it be that your soul has been seduced by my disciple's appearance? Your eyes are straight. Looking at you, you have never seen anyone as beautiful as my disciple in your life. Women? How pitiful."

Seeing that Ren Changhong's words were thorny and aggressive, Ye Jie was not upset. If she had known, she would have met Shen Qingge long ago. Moreover, she had even seen her most vulnerable and helpless side. She didn't know what to do. Thoughts, he just said: "Master Shen Xian has a beautiful face, and he should be worthy of admiration."

Hearing the admiration in Ye Jie's words, Ren Changhong curled her lips. How could she, who was stronger by nature, be willing to be compared to the disciple who killed her:

"When I was in my prime, she was just a little girl who didn't know anything. In terms of appearance, she was far behind me, and she was only about seven or eight points above my level."

Ye Jie looked unbelieving, but unfortunately, Ren Changhong's face was completely covered by the Shura mask, making it impossible for him to distinguish the authenticity of this statement, but instead aroused his curiosity.

Sensing Ye Jie's curiosity, Ren Changhong raised the corners of his lips in a subtle arc, and deliberately teased: "Want to take a look?"

"It's my pleasure." Ye Jie replied.

She laughed loudly, raised a finger, and tapped the mask on her face with her fingertips, making a crisp sound of gold and iron: "Then you will be disappointed. Once the Shura mask is put on, unless His Highness Moro approves, Otherwise, it will never be taken off. Once you are a Shura, you will be a Shura forever. I am afraid you won’t be able to see it anymore. I advise you to give up on this idea. "

Ren Changhong's words made Ye Jie's heart sink. He subconsciously touched the Shura mask on his face, feeling as if he was falling into an abyss. It was more difficult to get rid of the control of Shura Mask than Ye Jie expected.

After a long silence, Ye Jie suddenly said: "Actually, what matters to me most is not the people in the painting, but the painting itself."

"Oh?" Ren Changhong raised his eyebrows.

"Although Shen Qingge in the painting has an alluring appearance and a beautiful temperament, her beauty is conveyed through the painting. Looking at the painting, one seems to see such a woman standing in front of oneself. Such a exquisite and delicate The painter's vivid and vivid depiction of Shen Qingge's celestial figure is stunning. I'm sure this must be the work of a master."

Ye Jie looked at the painting and nodded frequently, his words filled with eager appreciation. Being familiar with Shen Qingge, he naturally understood how vivid this painting was and that it must have been painted by a famous artist.

At this time, a chuckle suddenly came from next to Ye Jie's ears. The laughter was fleeting, but as sweet and moving as a clear spring, echoing endlessly in Ye Jie's ears.

The laughter only lasted for a short moment, and then it disappeared without a trace, leaving nothing out of the ordinary. Ye Jie couldn't help but wonder if he had heard it wrong.

Ye Jie suddenly remembered something, and a bit of surprise appeared on his face: "Logically speaking, if you want to portray Shen Qingge's temperament so vividly, you must have had contact with her. Could it be that this painting..."

Seeing that Ye Jie finally discovered the problem, Ren Changhong glanced at him, with a hint of teasing in his beautiful eyes: "Yes, this painting was painted by me. Only I, the master, can paint her Her temperament is perfectly described, after all, I have trained her since she was a child."

Ye Jie was surprised, looked at Ren Changhong carefully, and exclaimed: "I didn't expect that you have such high attainments in painting."

"Of course, I am the descendant of Xuannv." Ren Changhong hummed conceitedly, with a bit of pride in her words. In the past, she was also the unparalleled descendant of Xuannv. How could such a trivial matter be so difficult? She said, "As a descendant of Xuannv, I have to be proficient in all aspects of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Otherwise, wouldn't I be ridiculed by foreign officials if I take it out?"

As she said that, she looked at Ye Jie with a bit of disdain in her eyes: "Besides, if your hand can't even hold the brush steadily, how can you hold the sword? With your qualifications, I can't stand it with you. Even though you don’t understand, you’d better concentrate on being a ghost magic weapon.”

I don't know if it was Ye Jie's misunderstanding, but he always felt that Ren Changhong didn't seem so hostile to him anymore.

Not long ago, when Ren Changhong spoke to him, his words were thorny, and he wanted to make him worthless until he was disgraced.

Nowadays, although Ren Changhong still looks down on him and does not hide his dislike in his words, his attitude is always much gentler and he no longer has the attitude of wanting to kill someone.

Ren Changhong put away the scroll. Ye Jie's words of praise greatly benefited her, and her impression of Ye Jie improved a lot. It seemed that Shura Jie was not without merit. At least he still had some basic eyesight. Know the quality of painting.

"We're here, and right in front of us is the Dragon Binding Lock! The real dragon we captured was brought here."

After walking for a long time, Zhang Long took the two of them to a deep valley and spoke slowly.

"Real dragon? Could it be that the one who was captured was Meng Junyao?" Ye Jie trembled, and there was a bit of a bad premonition in his heart.

Before Ye Jie could react, a shrill scream came from his ears as the earth shook and the mountains shook!
