After hearing this, Tie Yi's heart sank. When the snow water dissipated, he also vaguely felt a trace of demon energy. Now Su Chen's words confirmed his previous guess.
This matter is no small matter, the castle owner and the deacon hall must be notified.
Every disciple in Ironwood Castle is registered, and as a family sect, almost all of their disciples were born and raised in Ironwood Castle. It is a good thing that a person suddenly got involved with the demons, and now he died for no reason. .
Tie Yi frowned and said to Su Chen in a deep voice: "Junior Brother Su, if this matter is publicized, it may cause panic among the disciples in the castle, so please keep quiet for now, and make a decision after reporting to the castle master and the elders of the deacon hall."
Su Chen naturally understood these things. A sect was infiltrated by demons, and disciples died. If ordinary disciples knew about it, they would be panic-stricken.
Tie Yi said again: "I'm going to report to the Master of Ming Castle, and you go to inform the elders of the deacon hall that we can move faster by splitting up."
He nodded and said: "I understand, Senior Brother Tie, hurry up." While speaking, he gave Tie Yi a firm look, indicating that there is absolutely no problem on his side.
After Tie Yi got his affirmative answer, he patted him on the shoulder, then resolutely turned around with his sword and headed for the castle owner's residence.
Before he had time to think about it, Su Chen called out the Xuanming Sword and flew up, turned into a stream of light and swept towards the deacon's hall.
Not long after, Su Chen came to the deacon hall, and saw a few elders sitting in the deacon hall in twos and threes to deal with matters. Since Su Chen stayed in the refining room almost all the time after he came to Ironwood Fort, so these elders he I don't know him, I only have a relationship with the elder I met on the first day when I first came to Ironwood Castle.
At this time, he also ignored those vain rituals, and bowed his hands to the elder who had met once and said: "The disciple and the master of the young castle discovered the existence of demonic energy in the trial square, and one of the disciples has already been killed. Disciples go to the trial square!"
"What?!"
The deacons and elders present were all shocked, and several elders stood up abruptly, their eyes like copper bells.
"What did you just say!" The elder who asked the question seemed to be a little deaf, and in such an urgent situation, he had to repeat it again.
Su Chen was about to say it again, when the elder who had met once yelled at the elder who asked the question: "Oh, elder! I heard it clearly, there is a demonic energy!"
Then he stretched out his slightly trembling palm, pointing at Su Chen tremblingly, his voice was full of air, "Hurry up and lead the way!"
Almost all the elders in the deacon's hall followed behind, leaving only two or three people on duty. The elder who was called the elder shouted: "Elder Yan, I will go too!"
It turned out that the elder's surname was Yan, and Su Chen silently remembered it in his heart.
Elder Yan and Su Chen walked back and forth with their swords. When Su Chen was galloping ahead, he heard Elder Yan's question from behind: "How many disciples died?"
Su Chen turned around and replied, "Only one person."
Later, Elder Lu Yan stopped asking questions, as if the news that only one person died made him feel relieved. After all, only one death can at least show that it is not a large-scale invasion of the demons, and the loss is likely to be controlled within what Ironwood Fortress can bear. within range.
When they arrived at the trial square, Tie Yi was already standing there with the castle master.
"Castle Master." Su Chen bowed his hands to the Iron Castle Master.
The Lord of Iron Castle nodded and asked, "Did you notice any abnormality when you noticed the magic energy?"
"Before this disciple turned into blood, there was a flash of red light in his eyes, but the red light was fleeting, so fast that Senior Brother Tie didn't have time to notice, and when the red light appeared, the aura of this disciple changed, It was consistent with the aura of the magic weapon that flew out when I crossed the tribulation, and after that the blood water also turned into a wisp of devilish aura and dissipated."
Su Chen explained all the doubts he found, but after he finished speaking, the iron castle master and all the deacons and elders were all silent.
After a while, the iron castle master asked, "What does Elder Yan think of this matter?"
Elder Yan smiled wryly, "How do I feel? How do I feel that you don't know? This scene is so similar to that year."
What kind of riddles are they playing? Su Chen felt that there was something unspeakable about this iron-wood castle, so he gave Tie Yi a wink—what's going on? What's the scene?
Tie Yi himself was at a loss, so he could only give Su Chen a look he didn't know.
Then he asked: "Father, Elder Yan, what are you talking about?"
The iron castle master sighed, shook his head and said: "It's time for you to know these things." He looked at Elder Yan, and Elder Yan turned his head to look at the sky. He had no choice but to say it himself.
"Before you were born, Yi'er, Tiemu Fort was once invaded by demon energy. It was that time that Tiemu Fort lost Elder Qing of the Deacon Hall. The phenomenon before his death was exactly the same as what Su Yuanzhou described. He turned into a puddle of blood and died again. Turn into demon energy and disappear in the world."
The iron castle master said here, his voice was a little choked, he paused, took a deep breath and continued: "Before he died, his performance was no different from ordinary people, and no one knew when the demonic energy parasitized on him , until one day he suddenly attacked me, and I didn't have any defenses against him. At that time, I was seriously injured. If it was just that, it would be fine. It was revealed to the demons! We didn't know these things until later when the demons wanted to occupy Ironwood Castle."
For a moment, all the people present lowered their heads. Everyone knew how badly the entire Ironwood Fort was damaged during the demon attack a hundred years ago. It was only a little bit close to the Ironwood Fort disappearing from this world.
Before that, everyone thought that Ironwood Fort's tragic victory in that struggle was due to the fact that the demons were too powerful, and Ironwood Fort stayed in the position of the Seven Great Sects for too long so that the nerves became lax. One's strength should be an overwhelming battle against the demons at the next moment of the demons' attack, not just a miserable victory.
Until now, they didn't know that there was a demon inside the Ironwood Castle.
Tie Yi looked at the Lord of Iron Castle, his eyes were full of pain, and he said from between his teeth, "Elder Qing!"
Knowing a son is like a father, the Lord of Iron Castle naturally knew what Tie Yi wanted to ask, he shook his head and denied Tie Yi's unspoken thoughts.
"Elder Qing did not betray the sect. He was inadvertently invaded by demonic energy during a mission. After returning without abnormality, no one thought that he had been invaded by demonic energy. After a long time, demonic energy It infiltrated into his spiritual consciousness, and when he told the sect secrets to the demons, he didn't even realize that he was controlled, and it wasn't until he was exposed that he disappeared in full view."
