Mortal: Fengling Linggen, married Chen Qiaoqian

Several years ago, the founder of the Poison Saint Sect left behind a mysterious will, in which he vaguely mentioned that there were amazing treasures hidden in this majestic Demon-Suppressing Tower.

However, it has never been stated what the treasure is, which makes people quite curious.

Despite this, the four elders of the Poison Saint Sect paid special attention to this matter, and they chose to come here to investigate as soon as possible.

As they gradually went deeper into the first few floors of the Demon-Suppressing Tower, they slowly discovered that other practitioners had already gotten there first.

Originally, they thought that a place like the Demon-Suppressing Tower, which was full of danger, might not attract much attention.

However, they never expected that there was a powerful cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage who had been waiting for them here.

If it weren't for the fact that Ye's Seventh Uncle and the others acted as if they were besieged by many evil spirits, I believe Hua Tianqi would have turned around and left without hesitation.

Faced with a powerful cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, plus two cultivators in the early Nascent Soul stage, the four of them found it difficult to cope.

"I'm not sure. Perhaps they, like us, are just guessing from bits and pieces."

Hua Tianqi's face was solemn, his lips moved slightly as he replied.

His eyes were fixed on the three strange men, not daring to relax at all.

"It seems that Fellow Daoist Hua has no intention of backing down."

When the big-headed monster said this, there was a fierce light in his eyes.

Then he suddenly opened his mouth, and a silver light instantly disappeared into the air.

In the next second, a dazzling silver light suddenly burst out from somewhere in the corner of the hall, accompanied by a low roar.

Then, a gray and white blurry ghost appeared, and a thumb-sized gray round bead was ejected from its mouth, resisting the attack of a silver flying fork.

And because he was constantly forced back, he let out a shrill scream.

After taking a quick glance at the big-headed monster wrapped in Yin Qi and the other two Nascent Soul cultivators, and then looking at the exit on the other side of the hall, Hua Tianqi suddenly showed a firm expression on his face, and shouted in a low voice:
"Let's go!"

Then, he pulled his palm inward, and a small green flag suddenly appeared in his palm.

After shaking it gently, a ball of emerald green light burst out instantly, surrounding the four of them, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a flashing green meteor, rushing towards the entrance to the next level.

"Hua Tianqi, you are so brave!"

Seeing this scene, the big-headed monster shouted angrily, and then countless thumb-sized yellow sword beams burst out from around his body, instantly penetrating the dark cloud cave surrounding them, as if he was about to break free from his restraints.

However, Hua Tianqi did not stay here for a moment. A green light flashed by, and they had already flown away dozens of feet, quickly blending into the exit on the other side and disappearing from sight.

When the big-headed monster was trying hard to dispel the evil spirit around him, the originally empty entrance suddenly glowed with light, and then a thick, crystal clear wall appeared out of thin air, like an indestructible city wall.

The thickness of this crystal wall is immeasurable. It seals the entrance tightly without leaving any gaps.

The weirdo didn't have time to think, he swung his arm, and a sword beam several feet long cut through the air and hit the crystal wall heavily. However, a colorful glow flashed by, and the sword beam disappeared like a stone sinking into the sea.

"It's the Xumi Five Elements Wall!"

When the weirdo saw this scene, he was stunned at first, then he looked at the crystal wall carefully and shouted in surprise.

"Yes, it is this treasure! This is the treasure of Xumi Sect. How could it fall into the hands of the Poison Saint Sect?"

The old man from the Ye family also said solemnly: "It is said that Xumi Sect and Poison Saint Sect have a close relationship. Could it be that they borrowed it in some way?"

"This is really a tricky situation. It seems that the bottom floor of this tower is very likely to hide the legendary magic treasure."

The weirdo stared at the crystal wall, his expression becoming increasingly ugly: "Otherwise, why would the people from the Poison Saint Sect take such a risk?"

As soon as the weirdo finished speaking, he turned his gaze to the ghost that was tightly entangled by the silver flying fork, his eyes full of coldness.

On the other side of the crystal wall, Hua Tianqi and the other three elders of the Poison Saint Sect had already shown up. However, when Hua Tianqi just breathed a sigh of relief, one of the elders couldn't help but complain.

"Brother Hua, you are taking too much risk. Although the Xumi Five Elements Wall can temporarily hold off the enemy, we have offended them. What should we do in the future?"

"Humph, do you still expect us to get along with the Ye family? Moreover, since even the founder of our sect is obsessed with this treasure, do you think it will be an ordinary thing?"

Hua Tianqi glanced at this slightly nervous fellow disciple and replied seriously:

"It's most likely the legendary magical treasure. For this, what does it matter if I take some risks?"

"A magical treasure that can reach the sky? If it is really as you said, this kind of heaven-defying thing is undoubtedly worth our joint risk to try!"

Another respected elder of the Poison Saint Sect showed deep worry and doubt on his grayish-yellow face:

"However, the problem we face is that Ye Yuesheng and others are guarding outside. Even if we are lucky enough to find the treasure, how can we escape successfully?"

"Haha, my fellow disciples may have mistaken me for being reckless. In fact, before I set foot here, I had wisely kept our sect's unique poison dragon ball close to me."

Hua Tianqi answered very confidently:
"After obtaining the treasure, I only need to give up my short-term closed-door training life and swallow this pearl, and I will be able to deal with the masters in the late Nascent Soul stage for a period of time."

"It turns out that Senior Brother has a perfect plan. In this case, we naturally don't have to worry."

After hearing this, the other three elders finally relaxed a little.

Despite the desire for treasure, life safety is always the primary consideration.

"The only regret is that Junior Brother Yuan is not here. If he could fight alongside me, perhaps we could compete with the late-stage cultivators, and we wouldn't have to take such a strong drug as the Poison Dragon Pearl."

Hua Tianqi suddenly mentioned the big man named Yuan, and a trace of regret appeared in his eyes.

"That's true. But didn't Senior Brother Hua leave a message? Maybe Senior Brother Yuan is on his way to support us now."

An elder from the Poison Saint Sect smiled and consoled.

"We also need to stay alert at all times. The ghosts on the seventh floor are already so troublesome. Who knows what kind of horrors there are on the eighth and ninth floors? We must not lose our lives because of this."

Hua Tianqi reminded with a serious face: "But this True Demon Tower is indeed worthy of its name. If it weren't for the ancestors of the Ye family who cleaned up the first few floors, we would have to pay a huge price if we broke into this place by ourselves."

The other three expressed their agreement.

Then, Yuan Xingren turned around and walked into a downward sloping passage behind him. According to their previous experience, they only needed to walk a few dozen feet along this road to reach the next level smoothly.

However, this time, they only walked forward a dozen feet before the view in front of them suddenly opened up and a small square stone chamber came into view.

Apart from two small teleportation arrays, one black and one white, the other walls in the stone chamber were empty, as if they had been looted.

"what on earth is it?"

Hua Tianqi was extremely surprised and frowned.

The other three elders also looked at each other in confusion.

Hua Tianqi walked quickly into the stone chamber, put his hands behind his back, and looked around.

He circled around the two small magic circles twice, and finally turned to an old man with thick eyebrows and said in a calm tone:

"Junior Brother Miao, you have studied ancient formations in depth. Can you determine whether these two formations are short-range teleportation formations?"

"Understood!"

The old man with thick eyebrows responded immediately, walked to one of the magic circles and observed it carefully. The other two elders also came forward with curiosity.

"It is indeed a short-range teleportation array, and it is a very short one. I estimate that the teleportation distance should not exceed a hundred miles."

After a moment, the old man with thick eyebrows raised his head and said affirmatively.

"Without a doubt, it is the teleportation array leading to the eighth floor. I didn't expect that I would need the help of a teleportation array to reach the eighth floor. This is really surprising! Teleportation arrays are bidirectional, right?"

Hua Tianqi looked thoughtful as he asked gently and patiently.

"Yes, short-distance teleportation arrays are usually designed to be bidirectional. But why are there two teleportation arrays here? Does it mean that there are two spaces on the eighth floor?"

The old man with thick eyebrows looked confused and couldn't help stroking his chin and pondering.

"The details are still unclear. However, we might as well go and explore it ourselves, maybe we can solve all the mysteries!"

Hua Tianqi pointed to the pure white teleportation array, took a step without hesitation, and walked towards it firmly.

As the first spell gently struck the teleportation array, a dazzling white light instantly bloomed, and all the people from the Poison Saint Sect disappeared silently in this dazzling light.

However, in the next moment, Hua Tianqi and others experienced a dizzying experience and miraculously appeared in a mysterious world like a fairyland.

Above your head is the azure sky and white clouds, and all around are various magical flowers and herbs in full bloom. With every gentle breath, the rich spiritual energy fills your nose, making you feel relaxed and happy.

However, what shocked everyone in the Poison Saint Sect was that not far in front of them stood a small, magnificent palace, which sat firmly on an enormous magic array.

There are many altars surrounding it, and on each altar stands a huge stone man holding a giant golden blade, silently guarding the palace.

……

At the same time, Yan Yun stood alone on the white jade square he had left.

The stone steps leading to Kunwu Temple were long and winding. Even though Yan Yun tried his best and expended a large amount of thunder and lightning power, it still took him a while before he finally turned into an arc of lightning, flashed across the stone steps, and came to an empty stone forest.

The stone forest in front of him was not too big. Yan Yun stepped forward and after a few flashes, he appeared at the edge of the other end.

However, a bluestone road sloping upward appeared in front of us.

It can be seen that this road is paved with huge bluestones.

What is striking is that stone statues of various shapes, as well as spears, axes and other magical weapons are scattered on the road, making it look messy.

Yan Yun frowned slightly, but suddenly, he seemed to feel something strange, so he raised his head and looked towards the end of the slope.

He saw that about a hundred feet away from him, there was a platform-like place. There was a faint flash of light there, and explosions could be heard from time to time, as if someone was fighting a fierce battle there.

"Could it be that Demon Qian and the others have already started fighting?"

Yan Yun's heart moved, and he quickly restrained his breath. After a few flickers, his figure became blurred, and finally disappeared without a trace.

With Yan Yun's deliberate concealment, he quietly stepped onto an open space that was several times wider than the previous White Jade Square.

In a huge white light curtain, five white figures, one yellow figure, and two green figures were engaged in a fierce battle.

The five white figures were obviously the five demon incarnations of the old demon Qian. They kept spewing gray gas from their mouths, and their faces were hideous and their fangs were bared.

The green figure was a middle-aged monk with a huge bone ring wrapped around his body, which was flashing yellow light.

Every time the gray gas hit it, the yellow light would flicker slightly and then return to normal.

The middle-aged monk also held a red and yellow flying sword in his hands, and tried his best to resist the attack of the Five Demons.

The other two green figures were two bronze lions more than ten feet tall. They followed closely behind the Five Demons and the middle-aged monk, pouncing and biting them madly at lightning speed.

Whenever it opens its mouth, it will emit green beams of light the size of a bowl, which appear to be extremely powerful.

This layer of white light curtain also looks quite strange. Silver arcs often flash on the surface. As long as someone approaches the edge, thunder will immediately be heard on the light curtain, followed by dense arcs pouring down like raindrops.

Although the Five Demons and the middle-aged monk protected by the mysterious bone ring could easily deal with these electric arcs, neither of them was willing to withstand such an attack.

Therefore, the battle in the light curtain became more and more intense.

Yan Yun could tell at a glance that the middle-aged cultivator, who was only in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, would have been driven to death by the Five Demons and drained of his blood if he had not relied on the strange bone ring to protect himself.

As for the two giant bronze lions, although they looked extremely ferocious, they were ultimately just puppets without anyone controlling them. The middle-aged cultivator and the old demon Qian simply had no time to take care of them.

Otherwise, it would be easy for them to defeat any one of them.

After pondering for a moment, Yan Yun glanced around.

This layer of light curtain almost covered the entire platform, and there were flashes of light on both sides of the platform. Obviously, there were other more powerful restrictions that prevented people from passing through.

However, when he looked up, he found a huge mountain gate vaguely visible behind the light curtain, which seemed to be the entrance to Kunwu Temple. (End of this chapter)
