Chapter 288 Let Me Go
But before he could, a hunched figure leaped into the air and stopped him.
Hua Wuque looked at the person in front of him and trembled, almost falling to the ground.
He lowered his head subconsciously and tried to raise his head to look at the person in front of him, his lips trembling slightly.
"Ancestor... Ancestor... Why are you stopping me?"
He couldn't speak clearly, and he looked even more guilty under the gaze of his ancestor.
The ancestor raised the corners of his mouth and stared at Hua Wuque in front of him. He didn't say a word, just watched carefully, and then slowly spoke after a moment.
"It's already so late. What are you doing here? Could it be that you have forgotten the rules I set on the island before? No one can break in here casually."
The ancestor's sudden question made Hua Wuque even more guilty. He raised his eyes tremblingly and stared at the ancestor, trying to look calm and answer slowly.
"I... I just wanted to look around at night, and I accidentally wandered here. If I disturbed my ancestor, it would be my fault. I hope my ancestor won't argue with me!"
There was a pleading tone in his tone.
The ancestor shook his head and threw what he took out from behind his back directly in front of Hua Wuque.
It was the shadow's torso that had no trace of life left.
Not only that, but another skin and bones are left!
Hua Wuque's alarm bell rang loudly, and his surprised eyes were fixed on the man on the ground, his eyes full of shock.
"This...isn't this Shadow? How did he become like this? What did he go through?"
He tried hard to look like he really didn't know anything, but his heart seemed to be frozen with fear, gradually becoming numb.
It was the shadow that lured the ancestor away for him just now. He never expected that in just a few seconds, he had become a withered skeleton!
Hua Wuque clenched his palms tightly, trying his best to pretend that he didn't know anything.
Even so, he was exposed by the ancestor's words.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. As long as you tell me honestly, what did you see just now? I can think about it carefully and let you go!"
The ancestor was admiring his right hand as he spoke. A faint green flame bloomed in his palm. With a slight throw, the green flame suddenly transferred to the shadow's mummy.
With a "swish" sound, the flames rose up, and Jing Ke burned him into powder.
A faint green ring sparkled on his hand, which was particularly strange against the night sky.
Hua Wuque had never seen this before. His calves hanging in the air trembled and he almost fell to the ground. He simply took the last step to stand firm to avoid falling.
The ancestor also slowly landed on the ground following his movements, and suddenly put away the flames in his hands.
"I know he is covering for you. Tell me honestly what you saw just now, so that I can consider whether to spare your life!"
His voice was filled with endless chill, and when he heard it in Hua Wuque's ears, goosebumps appeared all over his body, and every hair on his body stood on end!
Hua Wuque's lips were trembling, and she tried to speak several times, but her words were choked.
He had a feeling that if he opened his mouth, he would definitely die this time!
His natural sensitivity to crises made him feel that he was afraid of death from all directions. Face to face with this feeling, he felt endless suffocation!
This is not as satisfying as a knife!
"Back...back to ancestor, I really didn't see anything. I just touched the wrong place when it was dark. If it really disturbs your retreat, you will punish me!"
You can't admit it if you bite it to death, otherwise you will only be the one who dies!
Hua Wuque clearly realized this fact!
The ancestor didn't hear the answer he wanted to hear, his expression changed instantly, and he turned ferocious.
His cloudy eyes locked on Hua Wuque, falling on his trembling shoulders, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Wu Que, I have always entrusted you with important tasks. I feel that you are the most trustworthy person on the entire island. You must not let me down. How can you tell lies so easily?"
These words echoed in Hua Wuque's ears with sadness. Hua Wuque tried hard to regain his sense and opened his mouth to explain.
"I don't dare to hide it from my ancestor. Everything I say is true. I have never done anything bad, and I don't dare to disobey my ancestor!"
Hua Wuque tried his best to look sincere.
The ancestor looked at him carefully. After a moment, a withered old hand suddenly pressed on his neck. The hand gradually tightened and lifted him up.
A strong sense of suffocation gradually spread from his neck to his whole body, and death was only one step away from him.
Hua Wuque tried his best to raise his hand and pat the ancestor's arm, and shouted hesitantly.
"Ancestor, Ancestor, I didn't do anything, I didn't do anything, and I didn't even see it. Let me go, let me go!"
His survival instinct made him wail helplessly.
Perhaps the voice touched the old man, a flash of white light slipped through his eyes, and his tightened hands slowly loosened.
Hua Wuque's whole body fell on the ground, crawling on the ground, raising his hands to massage his neck, and kept coughing!
The old man also staggered back several steps. A dark light flashed across his eyes, and he stood there and roared.
"You really don't know what you can do. You're still thinking about protecting him at this critical moment. We can't let him ruin our great cause!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the white light from before gradually emerged from his eyes, and he looked at Hua Wuque gently. The faint sense of familiarity made Hua Wuque stunned.
"No, he is the only one left. If you dare to touch him, I will never let you go!"
This series of words seemed to be talking to himself, but if you look deeper into it, it makes people shudder.
This action seemed to have two souls in the old man, they pulled each other and intertwined with each other!
As the words fell, the black light gradually swallowed his eyes.
"You are the one who makes the decision now, but I can't let you make the decision here!"
As the words fell, the old man's eyes were instantly stained with green, and his green eyes were tightly locked on Hua Wuque, who was lingering on the ground.
Hua Wuque could feel the coldness and ruthlessness of this gaze, and subconsciously stood up and took a few steps back, but even so, he could not get rid of it!
The old man pushed forward step by step, raised his right hand to do something, and an invisible force controlled his arm!
Hua Wuque looked into the old man's eyes at a glance, and saw that the two things seemed to be fighting, and hurriedly curled up and rushed to the periphery of the island.
The back figure who fled in panic soon disappeared in the night!
