People are in the heavens, starting as Li Xingyun

Chapter 365: I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, I am the Drunken Swordsman! (Please give me a monthly ticket at the beginning of the month! Please recommend!)
"It's possible, but how do I know if you will turn against me?"

Shen Sui Xin smiled and glanced at Situ Zhong, then continued, "How about this, give me the Demon Locking Tower first as a deposit, and then I will return Dugu Yuyun's soul to you. This way, even if you regret it, at least I won't suffer any loss, right?"

Everyone was speechless after hearing this, and Situ Zhong shook his head and smiled bitterly, raised his hand and pointed at the blue-black pagoda that was a hundred feet high in the distance, and sighed and said:

"To be honest with you, Master Shen, although this Demon Locking Tower is in my Shushan Sect, strictly speaking, it is just a cage placed here by the heavens to imprison demons that cause chaos in the human world. We in Shushan usually keep a distance from it and have no actual control over it."

"What do you mean? Do you still want to default on your debt?"

Shen Sui Xin's voice turned cold, and he raised his hand to grab Dugu Yuyun's soul light ball, pretending to pinch it.

"No no no! Of course not!"

Seeing this, Situ Zhong and the Shushan disciples hurriedly tried to stop them. At the same time, Situ Zhong said at a very fast speed: "What we promised to the leader will naturally count. What I mean is that the Demon Locking Tower is a treasure from the heavens. We cannot take the initiative to send it out. We need Leader Shen to enter the tower personally and refine it. Only in this way can we take it out of Shushan."

"It sounds good, but I feel like it's like a trap..."

Shen Suixin looked at the Drunken Swordsman and the people from Shushan around him with a half-smile, and found that they were all avoiding his sight unconsciously. He snorted coldly, "Tell me the truth, you guys are not trying to trick me into entering the tower, and then use the arrangements inside to deal with me, right?"

"How is this possible? I, Situ Zhong, am also a well-known figure in the cultivation world. How could I go back on my word and use such despicable means?"

Situ Zhong spoke with some stammering, and he felt his face, which had turned red from years of alcoholism, feel slightly hot.

To be honest, he did not lie before. The Demon Locking Tower was indeed a magic weapon bestowed by the gods in heaven. Shushan could not completely control it, let alone take it out of Shushan to use it.

But if they were inside Shushan, they would have a way to mobilize some of its power and forcibly suppress and seal the creatures that entered the tower, no matter if they were immortals, demons, gods or monsters.

It is no exaggeration to say that, for thousands of years, except for the Supreme Lord of the Demon Realm, no one has been able to escape alive after breaking in by force.

Especially decades ago, there was a new King of Hell in this tower. He was a righteous god officially canonized by the heaven and possessed divinity.

His duty is to guard the "jailer" of the monsters in the Monster Suppression Tower. His strength is absolutely unquestionable, and most of the land gods are inferior to him.

At least Dugu Yuyun once said that if he were in the Demon Locking Tower, he would not be sure of defeating the opponent.

The elders behind him were all aware of these things.

Therefore, when Shen Sui Xin proposed to exchange the Demon Locking Tower for Dugu Yuyun, he did not show any anger or excitement. Instead, he secretly communicated with Situ Zhong and formulated this plan. He wanted to use a delaying tactic to lure the other party in, and suppress him with the help of the power of the Prison King, so that he would never be able to leave the tower like those demons.

To be honest, Situ Zhong rejected this plan at first, but he could not resist the repeated exhortations of several elders.

Things like "When dealing with evil spirits, there is no need to talk about morality", "The safety of the leader is important, now is not the time to hesitate", "Hesitation will lead to failure, decisiveness will lead to failure"...

Because it made so much sense, and Shen Sui Xin was holding Dugu Yuyun's soul and was eyeing him covetously, Situ Zhong had no choice but to agree.

Thinking of this, Situ Zhong gritted his teeth and said again: "In short, this is the case. If you want to lock the demon tower, you must first enter the tower to refine it. I will never lie about this.

Of course, if Master Shen is unwilling to take the risk, then I will change the condition. I just hope you don’t vent your anger on my senior brother.”

After saying that, he closed his eyes and looked like, "That's it, do whatever you want," like a scoundrel.

"Humph! What a poor way of provoking me. Do you really think I'm some brainless idiot?"

Turning his gaze towards the direction of the Demon Locking Tower, Shen Sui Xin sneered, "It's just a broken tower, and you still want to lock me up. This is ridiculous... Lead the way, today I will let you scum see what it means to be a demon when you are a foot taller than the righteous!"

"and many more!"

The hot-tempered elder suddenly said, "You can go in, but return the master's soul first!"

"Why, are you afraid that I won't be able to get out and will perish together with your leader?"

"more or less."

The elder, however, acted quite calm, thinking he had figured out Shen Suixin's character, and provoked him again with words: "The Demon Locking Tower is full of dangers. Even a land immortal would be in danger if he went in. If you are incompetent and die in the tower, then wouldn't our leader be in danger as well?"

"hehe!"

Shen Sui Xin smiled, raised his hand and weighed the ball of soul light in his hand twice, then, in the astonished eyes of Situ Zhong and others, he cut it in half with a knife.

But the strange thing was that Dugu Yuyun's soul did not fly away as imagined, but split into two from the original shadow. One of them was still the image of a gray-haired old man, but the other was a young man in white clothes, black hair, handsome and resolute appearance.

"Brother...it's cracked!"

Situ Zhong was stunned when he saw this. His gaze stayed on the gray-robed old man for a few seconds, and finally focused on the young man in white.

Of course he recognized that this was Dugu Yuyun's appearance when he was young... In fact, Dugu Yuyun himself was not very old, at most he was nearly fifty.

But for some unknown reason, after he returned from his experience in the mortal world more than ten years ago, he looked like an old man, as if he had experienced the vicissitudes of life and had become extremely old both physically and mentally.

In comparison, he was more familiar with the young man's appearance and always felt that this was how his senior brother should be.

"I'll give you half first. After I finish refining the Demon Locking Tower, I'll give you the other half in exchange for the remaining 20% ​​of resources."

After saying that, Shen Sui Xin threw the young version of Dugu Yuyun to Situ Zhong, and without waiting for everyone's reaction, he turned into a long golden rainbow and flew towards the flying boat where Xiaobai and the other two girls were in the distance. After using a method similar to the world in his sleeves to capture them, he quickly flew towards the Demon Locking Tower.

At the same time, Situ Zhong had already caught the ball of light that wrapped around half of Dugu Yuyun's soul. After confirming that it was not a fake, he looked at several elders in confusion and had a heated discussion using the method of voice transmission.

A moment later, three hundred Shushan disciples returned to the sect to wait for orders, while elders such as Situ Zhong flew on their swords and chased after the golden rainbow.

His toes landed lightly on the ground, and Shen Sui Xin looked up at the towering Demon-Suppressing Tower. It had a total of 8864 floors, each of which was engraved with a different pattern. Six chains as thick as fists hung down from the top of the tower, making it even more spectacular than he remembered.

"Ok?"

As if he had discovered something, Shen Sui Xin squinted his eyes and saw that although the patterns on each layer of the tower were shining brightly, there was a wisp of black air lurking in the air, emitting a breath that made him feel somewhat familiar.

"Weird?"

He was a little surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that there was nothing wrong. The disciples of Shushan have always had the habit of training in the mortal world and capturing monsters and locking them in the Monster Tower. Monsters are more evil than monsters, so they naturally became one of their hunting targets.

"No wonder those guys in the martial arts world couldn't find much weirdness even after digging deep into the ground. It turns out that they were all dug up by you guys in Shushan after such a long time." Thinking of this, Shen Sui Xin couldn't help but laugh.

At this time, Situ Zhong and others also hurried over, looking at Shen Sui Xin's back nervously, fearing that he would do something weird again.

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and open the door. Once I finish refining this tower, I will give you the remaining half of my soul. Then you can pay the balance of the remaining 20% ​​of the cultivation resources. From now on, we will not owe each other anything."

"Um, Master Shen..."

Situ Zhong looked at the ball of light in his hand, pondered for a moment, and said: "The Demon Locking Tower is really dangerous. No one has ever come out alive from it. If you are willing to return all of your soul now, I can make the decision and exchange 30% of the resources accumulated by Shushan over thousands of years."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of several Shushan elders behind him changed. They were about to say something, but were glared at by Situ Zhong. In the end, they chose to remain silent.

"Haha, thank you for your kindness, but it's too late."

Shen Sui Xin smiled when she heard this, then shook her head to refuse.

"What's too late?"

Situ Zhong was puzzled.

"What I mean is... I have my eyes on this tower. I will take it away today no matter what. It's useless for you to say anything."

After saying that, Shen Sui Xin waved his hand and said, "Stop talking nonsense and hurry up. If you keep wasting time, I will not keep my word and will directly destroy your leader's soul and run away. I guarantee that you will never find me in this life."

Obviously, the effect of this threat was outstanding. Situ Zhong, who originally wanted to persuade Shen Sui Xin further, immediately became so angry that he didn't want to talk anymore. He joined forces with several elders to send Shen Sui Xin to the Demon Locking Tower, and secretly wished that a certain stupid guy would run into the Prison King as soon as he entered, be pressed to the ground and rubbed hard, and then be locked in a small room to pick up soap for hundreds of years. Let's see if he dares to be arrogant again in the future.

As for what to do with the remaining half of my brother’s soul… I still have the other half. Although the injury would be serious enough to make it impossible for him to ascend to heaven in the future, at least he has saved his life. I’m sure my brother won’t blame me.

To get back to the point, there is no gate in the Demon Locking Tower. Instead, there is a special teleportation formation in front of the tower. Even in the Shushan Sect, only the elders and the sect leader know how to open it.

At this moment, all the elders cast spells together and quickly activated the formation.

On the huge formation diagram, mysterious runes lit up, emitting brilliant light, and then rotated and moved rapidly, as if carrying some indescribable law, twisting the void, and turning into a vortex of black and white chaos in the center.

Shen Sui Xin, who was waiting on the side, did not suspect anything and stepped forward. When he passed by Situ Zhong, he patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You are a good person. Since you have found your conscience just now, I will give you a poem. When you travel around in the world, you can shout it in front of people. I guarantee it will be very impressive."

"Uh, what is a poem number?"

Shen Sui Xin smiled and continued to walk towards the vortex of the formation, saying as he walked:
"I ride the sword on the wind to slay the demons between heaven and earth.

I am happy when I have wine, but I am also crazy without wine.

Drink all the rivers in one drink, swallow the sun and moon in another drink.

I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk... I am the Drunken Swordsman!"

"Ha ha ha ha----"

Amidst loud laughter, Shen Sui Xin's figure disappeared. Seeing this, several elders' eyes lit up and they immediately closed the teleportation array to prevent him from leaving the Demon Locking Tower.

Situ Zhong still stood there motionless, muttering to himself.

"I come riding on the wind with my sword, to slay demons between heaven and earth...I will never get drunk after drinking a thousand cups, will you be the Drunken Sword Immortal?"

"This poem is so damn suitable for me, it seems like it was tailor-made for me, but..."

As he said this, Situ Zhong couldn't help but look at the extinguished formation pattern and the towering Demon Locking Tower, and couldn't help but sigh: "What a pity, people with different beliefs can't work together. If you weren't an enemy of Shushan and hadn't tortured my senior brother like that, I really wanted to have a drink with you and make friends."

"But Drunken Swordsman... if it's just a nickname, it doesn't matter if I use it. This guy can't get out anyway. Who knows if he helped me get it!"

"Situ Zhong, what are you doing?"

Just as he was thinking about it, the elders of Shushan urged him, "Why don't you return to the sect quickly to stabilize the headmaster's injury? This is an injury to the soul, and there is no time to waste!"

"I'm coming!"

……

On the other side, inside the Demon Locking Tower.

The wind was howling and the air was filled with evil spirits.

This pagoda was built thousands of years ago and later repaired and renovated by the mighty beings in heaven. Countless corpses of demons were buried in it, which condensed a large amount of obsession and resentment, which eventually turned into countless evil spirits wandering in the pagoda, making it like a small underworld space.

buzzing-

Along with a buzzing and trembling sound, a vortex of black and white chaos emerged out of thin air at the highest level of the Demon Locking Tower.

After a moment, a figure stepped out. Who else could it be but Shen Sui Xin?

"What a gloomy atmosphere, such a strong sense of resentment."

Shen Sui Xin looked at the strange scene around him that looked like a scene from a horror movie. He raised his eyebrows and then released his spiritual power to investigate. After a moment, he was surprised to find that his spiritual power could not even get out of the Demon Locking Tower, as if it was blocked by time and space.

"It's a world of its own... Is the level of this broken tower so high?"

No matter which world it is, magical weapons that can form a world of their own are extremely rare, because only by possessing the laws of time and space can one barely achieve this. Even if this world is small and weak, it is enough to surprise many true immortals.

Because this means that as long as the strength and stability of the world can be strengthened, and various laws and rhymes can be continuously filled into it, the grade of this magic weapon can be continuously improved, and it can be used for a very long time.

"It's a bit of a waste to just use it to lock up monsters..."

As Shen Sui Xin said this, many plans for transforming the Demon Locking Tower emerged in his mind.

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew, and in this space, countless souls of monsters gathered madly like a group of sharks smelling blood. They were so dense that there seemed to be no end in sight, which was enough to make the people with trypophobia die on the spot.
