The vague sound of the piano passed through the screen carved with landscapes, flowers and birds, and passed from the living room to the study.

The room was elegantly furnished, and the cats and butterflies on the jade smoke Gu were vividly displayed. A large amount of soot was accumulated inside, like a gray-white hill. Amidst the smoke, the elder of the Illusory Demon Clan held the phone tightly and gradually narrowed his eyes.

Since last night, there have been constant phone calls, mostly with bad news. He has not slept a wink for half the night.

"...The owner of the family secretly hid a lot of account books that should be destroyed, and all the old accounts from decades ago were dug out! After getting the account books, the Demon Slayer Bureau checked the company overnight, and every check was accurate."

This time the situation was more difficult than they expected. The Demon Slayer General Administration was involved in the investigation, and the academy was also pursuing it. Yuan Mu delegated power to the ghost boy, which gave him an honest reason to deal with the Elders Academy.

The impact from the outside world was not as good as the internal turmoil. As the head of the family, Hua Hengjing did not stand with them in this incident. It would be better to say that the whole thing was planned by him.

He attracted the college and the Demon Slayer Bureau, and reached a cooperation with Yu Huai. If they had known about today's situation, they would never have let him sit in that position in the first place.

The subordinate on the other end of the phone said anxiously: "For some reason, all the auction items that were originally intended to be sent away were intercepted by the owner of the house. He even found a witness of ‌ Wan. The Demon Slayer General Administration immediately issued an arrest warrant. Others

The elders are all thinking about what to do, look at now——"

"I know." The elder hung up the phone coldly.

Flower, scale, scene.

He recited the name word by word in his mind, his wrinkled eyes showing a fierce and ferocious light. He was silent for a while and then dialed another number.

"Hurry up and destroy the evidence against me. I can't be sentenced directly!"

"Help me contact the Black Tower Prison and take care of everything..."

"No, don't worry about the family master," the great elder's voice was so soft that it was almost eerie, "He will pay the price soon."

After answering the phone, he walked out of the study.

The vinyl record player makes an inaudible muffled sound when it is running. Perhaps it is due to the aging of the stylus, and the music coming out has a slightly hoarse dullness. The sound of the piano comes from here.

He moved the needle and changed the song.

The wish-making function made Hua Hengjing obedient, and the Council of Elders spent a lot of effort to do this. Hua Hengjing's mental power is very powerful. In order to achieve his goal, at least tens of thousands of people need to be prepared for blood sacrifices. The flesh and blood of an exorcist can withstand

There are dozens of ordinary people, and they are trying their best to mark the demon slayers these days.

The great elder counted the sacrifices that had been prepared and brewed a pot of old Pu'er for himself in an orderly manner. As the steam spread, the elegant fragrance of tea lingered on the tip of his nose.

Although the Black Tower took good care of him, it was still a prison after all, and he wouldn't be able to drink such good tea for a while. Just as he was feeling regretful, a voice came from the side.

"A cup of tea seems a little shabby as a meal for the first time." The visitor walked from the side of the great elder to the front, and slowly sat down on the grand master's chair, as naturally as if this was his home.

The elder was stunned for a moment, then calmly poured the tea into the tea cup in front of Yu Huai.

"Mr. Yu's arrival is unlucky, so I can only serve him with such shabby tea."

The old man added the tea without a tremor. The tea was steady and level with the cup. If it were a little more, it would overflow.

Treat guests with tea, and bully others with wine.

Yu Huai glanced at the cup of expulsion order in front of him with no interest, then turned to meet the elder's eyes: "I am very confident that I can get out of the black tower alive."

The music of the piano flows in the room, which is a melodious nocturne, and the old-school vinyl record player perfectly complements this aged piece of music.

The great elder said nothing.

For a demon clan, his age is considered very high. Even though his physical body is inevitably showing its age, his eyes are still as sharp as an eagle.

"If you can turn the Black Tower into a place to temporarily escape the limelight, there are indeed many opportunities in the Elders' House."

"It seems that someone leaked the news," the elder said calmly, "there are indeed many small mistakes in the temporary arrangement."

"In addition to these, I also got a route into the black tower, and the end point happens to be ‌'s cell." Yu Huai finished speaking, and a strange look finally appeared on the elder's face, "Calling ‌'s cell may not be accurate.

‌The bedroom prepared for myself is as big as the double cell next door. ‌Planning to go on vacation?”

"...What do you want to do?"

"I would like to ask ‌'s opinion. Do you prefer to move around freely, in the sea, or in your own room late at night? No matter which way you choose, I will be the one who kills ‌ in the end."

As if he couldn't see the ugly expression on the elder's face, Yu Huai turned around and brought the tea to the host, pouring the tea into the elder's empty tea cup. He didn't deliberately fill the cup, but just added some tea to it at will.

.

When he put down the tea poison, he made a gesture of invitation, but his words were commanding: "Choose."

The great elder stared at the cup of tea as if looking at a poisonous snake and scorpion, and the muscles at the corners of his mouth trembled involuntarily.

He hadn't tasted the feeling of being controlled by others in many years. His chest heaved with anger and his breathing became violent unknowingly. The tea cup in front of him was knocked to the ground with a bang.

The elder ignored the drops of water splashing on his back and raised his red eyes to look at Yu Huai.

Even if he didn't want to admit it, he was always afraid of the ghost clan's ability deep in his heart. In his rage, he was still afraid of the eyes in front of him.

so similar.

These eyes are so similar to Xuan Tan's.

That superior succubus easily ruined most of his life-long efforts to peacefully coexist with humans. The biggest impact was on their big families who relied on gray industries. The peaceful coexistence regulations directly classified this area into a restricted area.

The Phantom Demon Clan is getting worse and worse, but other families that comply with the regulations are quietly rising up. The small families that were originally lagging behind have begun to surpass them. The guys who used to beg for mercy dare to point out: Peaceful coexistence with humans is the future.

Trend! Old antiques like ‌ who don’t know how to adapt will be abandoned by the times sooner or later!

He looked down upon those monsters who happily blended into humans overnight, and hated Xuan Tan who advocated peace. But even when he hated her the most, he was afraid of confronting her head-on.

Being killed by the ghost clan means that there is no way to enter the reincarnation in the future. Only when the ghost clan dies, can the people and demons killed by it be reincarnated. The Great Elder does not

He was afraid of death, and what he was afraid of was the long torture that would follow.

The piano melody became intense and high-spirited. He took a deep breath and squeezed out the words from his throat in a hoarse voice: "I know what ‌ really wants. Five years is enough for them to clear away the traces of ‌‌

There must be very few things that can be found... If you kill me, the clues will be completely cut off."

Under the determined gaze of the great elder, Yu Huai leaned back and said a name leisurely.

Then the second one, the first one... Every time a name was announced, the great elder's face became uglier. When the seventh name fell, Yu Huai looked at the great elder: "These seven elders have all participated in

After that incident and seeing what happened to me, they rushed to tell me the news."

"No, no one knows more than me! Only I have direct contact with 'Qiluo', and the other elders follow my instructions. If you want to learn from me,

Once we get the clue..." The great elder paused for a moment and looked at Yu Huai, "You must ensure my safety."

This kid was stronger than he thought, which led him to accidentally overlook the most important point.

Being able to hang out with him at this time is better than going out to see his impending ugly appearance. The great elder said decisively: "I give you the rights and property.

‌But‌‌I’m in the Black Tower, and I swear I’ll never leave it for the rest of my life.”

Yu Huai remained unmoved, and there was no warmth in his voice: "I'm not interested in the old man's coffin at all. Why don't I call this big house full of my relatives? I'll call them all over.

Kill them one by one in front of ‌, and ‌ can say as much as he wants."

The sound of the piano suddenly stopped——

A smooth and beautiful rest.

"Absurd!" The great elder slapped his palm on the table. The tea set broke into pieces, and the fragrant tea flowed all over the table. His eyes were about to burst, the corners of his eyes twitched, and he could no longer maintain the responsibility of the elders of a large family.

Decent, "They are innocent...!"

"Have you considered that all ghosts are innocent when you participated in the massacre in ‌‌?" Yu Huai asked strangely, "Why should ‌ ask me to spare ‌'s family?"

The Great Elder's expression kept changing. After a while, he seemed to have lost the strength to resist and buried his face slumped.

"...It's all over. I don't know how many people were involved in that incident. The Phantom Monster is just one of them. If he can kill me, how can he kill the monsters who were involved?" Mother

You may not want to see ‌ become like this. ‌Now you have ‌ ability and ‌ status, ‌ but ‌ have lived a ‌ good life, ‌ why don’t you let it go?!” He didn’t know what to say later.

He raised his head and his expression became terrifying and ferocious.

"Don't worry, no one will be missed." Yu Huai said nonchalantly, "It's very fair."

The great elder looked at him incomprehensibly, and finally discovered the difference between him and himself.

He doesn't care about rules at all. As long as he decides to take revenge, he will do whatever it takes. Such a terrible persistence makes people feel uncomfortable from the bottom of their hearts. They did something wrong indeed, and they should not have left him a chance to survive in the first place.

‌; At that time, everyone thought he was a kid who had just grown up. Even if he was Xuantan's child, it would be impossible for him to see the light of day again after entering the boneyard...

Facing the dejected elder, Yu Huai spoke like a reward: "I can give you a chance. I still need to pay for it with my life, but I won't kill you myself. I won't move."

‌’s family.”

Even though he knew that his conditions came with a high price, the great elder could not help but have a glimmer of hope. He asked in a hoarse voice: "What do you want?"

"Tell me the complete truth you know. In addition, there is one more thing..." He whispered a few words.

The great elder couldn't believe what he heard, and his expression changed from surprise to anger, and finally to helpless hatred.

He lost his mind and said: "‌This lunatic..."

Xu ‌nian slept all day.

Excessive use of his powers not only made his muscles all over his body sore, but also exhausted his physical strength. His vigilance also dropped a lot. He lazily opened his eyes when he noticed someone approaching in his sleep.

He was still very tired and his thinking was not very flexible. A vague outline appeared in front of his eyes. When he realized that the man was looking directly at him, Xu ‌nian suddenly woke up.

Yu Huai stared at him quietly.

His gaze was substantial, inch by inch, from his soft neck to his fair cheeks, his eyes unconsciously showing desire and greed.
To be continued...
