Chapter 48 Variables
Haw!
The sky was slightly white and cloudless.

Under the light red glow, a crow with black feathers and red eyes spread its wings and swooped down.

The wings blocked the sunlight to form a shadow, and flew over the thick city walls and towers, through the gray and white houses and pavilions that rose one after another, and finally landed on a stone pillar in a huge square, lowering its head to comb its feathers.

In the middle of the square is a dark red nine-story tower, which is hundreds of meters high. The walls are engraved with patterns of ferocious beasts, and there are thirty-six thick bronze chains around it.

At this time, the sky gradually brightened.

But there is always a lingering dark cloud surrounding the tower.

Whenever I got close, I couldn't help feeling cold, as if I was being stared at by countless evil spirits, and my back went cold.

In a low bungalow under the tower, a thin old man slowly opened his eyes.

The old man was no more than 1.6 meters tall, and was wearing a loose-fitting black robe similar to a Taoist robe, with two golden dragons embroidered on the forearms of his sleeves.

His waist was hunched and his body was as thin as a piece of dry firewood.

No matter how powerful he had been in the past, time had left indelible marks on him.

But the old man's eyes were completely different from his old body. They were not only bright, but also emitted golden light like two small suns, deeply sunken in his eye sockets. Thin veins of the same light golden color spread outwards, ferocious and terrifying, giving people a feeling of majesty without anger.

In the darkness next to the old man, there was another burly and strong middle-aged man.

This man was over two meters one meter tall, with explosive muscles beneath his white coarse cloth shorts. His exposed arms were covered with crisscrossing scars. It was hard to imagine how many brutal battles he had gone through.

"What a bunch of bastards!"

The middle-aged man's face was filled with rage, and he cursed, "This group of jackals and tigers are so greedy and bullying. This Demon Suppression Tower was built by our ancestors who sacrificed their lives and shed their blood. How can we let them get their hands on it!"

Among these two people.

The old man in black clothes and golden eyes is none other than the current commander of the Demon Suppression Division, Li Daoxuan, also known as the Golden-Eyed Ape King.

The middle-aged man next to him who was in a bad temper and cursing loudly was Li Daoxuan's eldest disciple and another deputy commander of the Demon Suppression Division, named Wang Xinlong.

The reason why Wang Xinlong was angry.

Because the Demon Suppression Tower was attacked not long ago, and the deputy commander Xu Tong who was in charge of guarding the place was seriously injured. They had to select a new person from the remaining elders to take over Xu Tong's job.

Among these elders, the one with the strongest strength and the most intense competition is Hong Wendao.

Hong Wendao’s strength is not weak, and he is more than capable of guarding the Demon-Suppressing Tower.

But the key question is.

Hong Wendao: This person was born in the Hong family, which is the oldest and most powerful family among the demon-suppressing families.

As the commander-in-chief of the Demon Suppression Division, Li Daoxuan naturally did not want the Demon Suppression Tower to be involved by people from aristocratic families.

But it just happened that...

Firstly, they have no better choice, and secondly, this matter is in line with the procedure.

Therefore, even though Li Daoxuan had more than a hundred years of experience, he still found this matter quite difficult to handle. He could not find a way out of the situation and felt caught between a rock and a hard place.

What made him even more worried was that behind this incident, he also saw the shadow of demons and aristocratic families joining forces.

"Crash!"

Just when Li Daoxuan was silent, frowning and thinking.

The sound of flapping wings broke the frozen atmosphere in the room.

A crow with pure black feathers flew over the window, flew in, and finally landed on Li Daoxuan's arm, which was like a dead branch.

"A letter from your junior sister."

Li Daoxuan untied the bamboo tube tied to the bird's legs.

Just by the smell of the sealing wax, he could tell the origin of the secret letter. "Xiao Li's letter, this is good news, it seems that she has finished dealing with her affairs." Wang Xinlong forced a smile on his ferocious face.

In recent years, the aristocratic families wanted to gradually influence high-level decision-making by controlling the disciples of the Demon Suppression Bureau.

A large number of disciples from aristocratic families entered the Demon Suppression Division.

Wang Xinlong was unhappy, but there was nothing he could do. After all, the Demon Suppression Division had gradually lost its ability to overturn the table.

Moreover, the behavior of these noble families is also within the rules.

In such an environment.

The emergence of a gifted freak like Su Li severely dampened the morale of the disciples from the aristocratic families.

In addition, Su Liren is beautiful, has high emotional intelligence, and speaks nicely.

Naturally, seniors like Wang Xinlong like him very much.

"What does the letter say?" Wang Xinlong asked, and even reached out to grab it from Li Daoxuan.

"Get out of here." Li Daoxuan smiled and pushed him away, "You're such a disrespectful guy."

The two men were vastly different in size, but their powers were polar opposites.

Li Daoxuan pinched Wang Xinlong's right wrist with his chicken claw-like fingers, easily pinning his two-meter-tall body to the side, making it impossible for him to move.

puff!
With a snap of his fingers, the wax seal was unsealed.

Looking at the lines of beautiful handwriting on the letter, the smile on Li Daoxuan's face disappeared and his expression gradually became more solemn.

"What happened?" Wang Xinlong's heart skipped a beat. "Did Junior Sister encounter any accident?"

"You will know after you read it yourself." Li Daoxuan was silent for a moment, and handed the letter to Wang Xinlong. The latter quickly reached out to take it, frowning and repeatedly exclaiming.

"Is this true?" Wang Xinlong couldn't believe it.

"It's probably true." Li Daoxuan said after a moment of silence, "The Yin body Tai Sui did escape from the Demon Suppression Tower, and the relevant description above is not wrong."

"Hiss..." Wang Xinlong widened his eyes and took a breath.

"If the above content is true, then the dead end game we are facing now may be solved!" Wang Xinlong said excitedly.

"Well, what you said makes sense." Li Daoxuan said dimly, "But we can't be too happy too soon. After all, we still have to see it with our own eyes to know the truth."

"but……"

He looked up and the sun was shining.

The old man's weathered face also showed a little more smile, "Finally, there are some variables. In this stagnant water of Baihua County, there are variables, which is great."

……

"The mountain in front of us is called Canglong Mountain. Legend has it that it was formed from the body of a dragon that created the world in ancient times. There is a spring on the mountain that never dries up. It is called Longyan Spring. Drinking it can improve your eyesight. You can clearly see the texture on the leaves even at night."

Su Li jumped onto a big rock on the side of the road and pointed at the mountain in front of him that was shrouded in the red light of twilight and spoke.

Su Heng looked up.

This mountain is indeed as Su Li described.

It looks like a giant winged dragon lying dormant, with a very majestic aura.

"Once we cross Canglong Mountain and continue walking forward, we will reach Baihua County." Xiaoqing added in a low voice.
