The Eighth Elder began to chuckle.
"That's right, you guessed all of it correctly." The Eighth Elder surprisingly admitted to everything, "And what else?"
Seeing the Eighth Elder's confident appearance, as if he had already won, Su Luo's heart sank further and further into a bottomless icy pit. Actually, from the moment the Eighth Elder pulled off the cloth covering his face, Su Luo's heart had already been pounding wildly.
Under what circumstances would the Eighth Elder reveal his true colors and admit to everything?
The answer was crystal clear— He had already decided to kill her, and also believed that Su Luo would never be able to escape from his grasp!
Su Luo curled her lips in mockery: "Since when did you start to suspect it? When Lan Yinyan died?"
Su Luo knew that, regardless of whether she admitted it, the Eighth Elder already firmly believed she’d done it. Furthermore, he would rather kill her mistakenly, rather than entirely miss out on the chance to do so. So even if she didn't admit it, it wasn't going to end well.
The Eighth Elder slowly smiled: "I once obtained a rare and valuable book, which had a detailed record of the Fallen Red Lotus' Exotic Fire, describing it and its features. At first, I would not have noticed you, but who told you to go and kill my disciple?"
A chill ran through Su Luo's heart.
To think that it had actually been because of Lan Yingyan. The one time she showed off had now come back to cause her trouble.
"The Fallen Red Lotus has already fused with my blood, you won't be able to obtain it." Su Luo smiled faintly.
"No worries. The book has details on that too, it’s just a matter of peeling off your skin, pulling out your tendons, setting you on fire, and then refining you, but you need to have a breath of life left in you for it to work, so I'm here to ask for your opinion on this now." The Eighth Elder smiled in a way that seemed strange.
Su Luo took a deep breath, and sneered at the Eighth Elder: "Ask me for my suggestions on whether or not I want to be skinned, burned, and hammered into shape by you?"
"Right." The Eighth Elder nodded like it was a matter of course.
Su Luo sneered: "Don't tell me you're not scared that the City Lord will take revenge?"
Upon mentioning the City Lord, the Eighth Elder's hands paused for a slight moment, and he faintly knit his brows.
"You mean you didn’t know that I was personally allowed in by the City Lord?" Su Luo raised the diamond token in her hand, and smiled faintly, "If the City Lord finds out, he won't let you off."
The diamond token flashed with a dazzling light.
As the Eighth Elder, he'd naturally seen the diamond token before. The extremely powerful Fourth Elder had a token exactly like this one.
The Eighth Elder knew in an instant that this diamond token was real!
To think that the City Lord had really given a diamond token to her!
Once she reported him, the consequences would be too dreadful to think about.
"Looks like there is no option for you other than death!" With a wicked smile, the Eighth Elder extended his hands and savagely gripped Su Luo's neck!
The end of the teleportation's cooldown time was soon approaching.
Fifty seconds.
Forty seconds.
Thirty seconds.
The Eighth Elder strangled Su Luo, the whites of her eyes were showing and within moments her face swelled purple.
He forcibly lifted Su Luo up, causing her feet to leave the ground, so at this moment she was powerless, and all she could do was to glare at him!
Twenty seconds.
Ten seconds.
Su Luo felt like her neck was about to break!
Five seconds.
Three seconds.
Su Luo fixed her gaze on the Elder, and a taunting gleam flashed across her eyes, and then she smiled as her figure disappeared, leaving the Elder's hands grasping nothing but the air.
The Eighth Elder was stunned for a moment, before a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Space element mage? Teleportation? Hehe, at such a young age, she really is a good sapling, but what a pity, who told you to fuse with the Exotic Fire?"
