Mortal Mirror

He only knew one thing: although this place was mysterious, the Divine Dragon Palace was no ordinary power. They would find this place sooner or later. What's more, he suspected that there might be a pair of eyes in the darkness, watching them.

That was the Knife Borrower. Since he gave this information, perhaps they wanted to play the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

Therefore, Li Ergou dared not touch anything here casually.

If he brought trouble upon himself, he wouldn't even know how he died. After all, his cultivation was limited. Any big shot from the Divine Dragon Palace could easily crush him to death.

So, was there a perfect solution?

After thinking for a while, he suddenly thought of a method, though he didn't know if it would work.

He took out the bronze mirror to see if he could copy the ice coffin and the Sinful Dragon.

He put away the nine copied ice coffins and returned the rest to their original positions. In this way, he could obtain the Sinful Dragon without damaging the scene, and no one would suspect him.

He originally wanted to leave, but he suddenly discovered a strange thing. Besides the nine ice coffins, there was also a painting in this secret room.

An old man was sitting on a small boat, with wind and snow swirling around him. He was actually fishing in the snow.

The signature on the painting was 'Deposed Crown Prince'.

In that case, this painting should have been painted by him. Such a secret room wouldn't casually have a painting, so there must be something fishy about this.

Li Ergou narrowed his eyes and suddenly saw the old fisherman blink.

Alive!

Li Ergou suddenly reached out his big hand and grabbed at the painting. The fisherman inside actually swung his fishing rod at Li Ergou.

Li Ergou snorted coldly and increased the strength in his hand, directly pinching the old fisherman tightly.

He said coldly, "Who exactly are you?"

A look of horror appeared in the fisherman's eyes, but he didn't speak. Li Ergou had no choice but to use the Soul Searching Technique. After a while, the old fisherman's eyes rolled back and he lay on the fishing boat, life or death unknown.

Li Ergou narrowed his eyes, his eyes full of shock.

He obtained a part of the old fisherman's memory. This person was actually a living puppet. From his memory, he knew that a mysterious person had met with the Deposed Crown Prince a year before he was killed a thousand years ago.

That person claimed to be the Knife Borrower. He said that he could save the Crown Prince's life, but the Deposed Crown Prince needed to pay a price to exchange for his life.

What was it? It was the souls of nine Sinful Dragons, as well as the unparalleled divine art left by the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Nine Dragons Heaven Devouring Art, as exchange conditions.

To save his life, the Deposed Crown Prince naturally agreed without any hesitation. At this moment, he was already seriously injured and his cultivation was abolished. Otherwise, with the Deposed Crown Prince's character, he would have already killed his way out.

Therefore, he did not hesitate.

So, the day before the Deposed Crown Prince was killed, the Knife Borrower used the Heaven Stealing Sun Changing Technique to replace the Crown Prince's real body. The real Crown Prince carried all the treasures and escaped to heaven.

But before that, he deliberately left a mark for the living puppet in the painting, with the purpose of telling his old subordinates that he was still alive, but after a thousand years, they needed to find him to help him see the light of day again.

In addition, he also had a thousand-year agreement with the Knife Borrower, which was that after he was resurrected, he would pay the reward according to the agreement.

The nine Sinful Dragons in this ice coffin were one of them.

After reviewing the memory, Li Ergou searched the living puppet again and found a short sword engraved with dragon patterns shining with purple light, and a jade pendant.

On the jade pendant, it was actually written the three big characters 'Ten Thousand Graves Abyss'. Seeing these words, Li Ergou couldn't help but shrink his pupils and exclaimed in his heart. Could it be that the real body of the Deposed Crown Prince was hidden in the Ten Thousand Graves Abyss?

That's right, isn't it said that the most dangerous place is the safest place?

Li Ergou didn't want to participate in this matter, but wasn't the Deposed Crown Prince's wealth very rich, especially the Nine Dragons Heaven Devouring Art, which looked like it was extraordinary. If he got it...

He couldn't imagine that scene.

Forget it, this Crown Prince's plan is very deep, so don't think too much for the time being, but how should this painting be handled? Should it be left here, or should it disappear?

He hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to leave the painting here. Anyway, the fisherman's memory had already been extracted by him, and now it was a shell without a soul. Leaving it here could still confuse everyone's sight.

Then, he copied the short sword and the jade pendant again and put them back in place.

But in the end, he still took back the jade pendant engraved with the three characters 'Ten Thousand Graves Abyss', perhaps to increase the difficulty for those people, so that he could have more time to take a look at the secrets inside first.

After finishing all this, he did not hesitate and hurried back out.

Coming outside, he took out the blood jade. Suddenly, there was a noisy sound outside, as if someone was approaching. Li Ergou quickly cast a spell on the corpses in those houses, then jumped outside and made it look like he had just fought.

"Who!" It was Zhao Xiong's voice.

"Lord, it's me?" Li Ergou quickly said.

Zhao Xiong walked over with five or six people, glanced at Li Ergou and the surrounding situation, and quickly asked, "What's going on? Did you find anything?"

Li Ergou quickly said, "Lord, I found a ghost here. What's strange is that this ghost was actually carrying a ghost infant. In the fierce battle just now, I killed two people.

That's when I heard your voice."

Zhao Xiong said, "What, there's such a thing? This is the Crown Prince's residence, and a ghost actually appeared. It's simply too inappropriate.

Did you find anything else?"

Li Ergou quickly shook his head and said, "No, I just dealt with them. You see, the ashes on the ground haven't disappeared yet, but I feel that this house is strange, and I haven't searched it yet."

Zhao Xiong took a deep look at Li Ergou, as if trying to see something on him, but Li Ergou was too well disguised. His big face was neither red nor white, and there was no sign of lying at all. Li Ergou had experienced many years of detective life, and disguising his emotions was simply a piece of cake.

Although Zhao Xiong suspected Li Ergou's words, unfortunately there was no evidence. Helpless, he could only nod and say, "Let's go, everyone go inside and search."

Li Ergou then asked, "Lord, did you find anything? Why did you all gather together? Did something happen?"

Hearing this, Zhao Xiong's face turned black. Liu Bingyi immediately ran to Li Ergou's side and whispered, "We encountered a group of mysterious people and fought with them. Lord Niu Er was injured. Those people were very powerful, but I don't know why, they ran away after a few blows.

We suffered a loss here, so Lord Zhao Xiong is naturally unhappy."

Li Ergou nodded slightly, but was thinking in his heart, could it be that those people were the Knife Borrowers? After all, the Deposed Crown Prince still owed them something, and those guys were very extraordinary.

Zhao Xiong said, "Okay, don't think nonsense. Everyone go into the house and search. Oh, why are there so many dried corpses hanging here?"
