Chapter 79: Old Man Tiandu, why did the Tower Master rebel?
Chapter 79: Old Man Tiandu, why did the Tower Master rebel?
Although this girl is petite, she looks young.
But to be able to become an elder of the Demon Suppression Division, one must be a strong man at the demon fetus level.
She was basically in her thirties or forties, much older than Su Heng, but her serious yet timid temperament made it difficult to ignore that.
"Yes, I'm Su Heng."
Su Heng took two steps back so that she could finally see Su Heng's face and entire body clearly.
"What's your name?" Su Heng asked.
"My name is Bai Wangchuan. They all call me Miss Bai. You can also call me that." Bai Wangchuan held the sword, looked up, and said seriously.
"Okay, Miss Bai, I'll remember it." Su Heng nodded.
Then the other two people in the martial arts arena heard the noise and finally slowly came out of their own world and reacted.
"Zhao Zongwu." The strong old man with white hair and slanted brows spoke sparingly with words.
He came in front of Su Heng and stretched out a hand.
The Great Zhou Dynasty also had the etiquette of shaking hands, but among warriors, the meaning of this etiquette gradually changed.
You can make a rough judgement of the opponent's strength by the grip strength.
Sometimes it even has a provocative tone.
I remembered what Li Daoxuan had said before, and the old man in front of me looked like a very old-fashioned and serious person.
Su Heng didn't care.
He also extended a hand and the two held hands.
Zhao Zongwu exerted force with his five fingers, and blue veins bulged under the loose skin on the back of his hand.
A look of surprise gradually appeared on his face. He felt that what he was holding was like steel or even harder, and it could not be shaken at all.
"You are very strong." Zhao Zongwu pulled his hand back and spoke calmly.
"I... my name is Li Xunhao." The last person had fair skin and a slightly plump figure. He looked like an ordinary rich young man.
However, the purple robe he was wearing seemed to have not been washed for a long time. It had obvious greasy and dirty stains and also gave off an unpleasant smell.
When he started talking, the scene was particularly terrifying.
His tongue disappeared, replaced by a giant centipede that swayed back and forth.
There are densely packed white insect eggs growing under the centipede, which are enough to drive people with trypophobia crazy at just one look.
"Are there only three of you elders in the Demon-Suppressing Tower?" Su Heng wrote down their names and then asked.
"There are two more elders, but they are out on business." Li Xunhao said with a smile.
Because there is no tongue.
His voice was a little strange, with a peculiar hissing sound.
"Li Dusi should have introduced the situation inside the Demon Suppression Tower to you. You have already seen the lower four floors, so you'd better take a look at the upper four floors as well." Li Xunhao said, "The Demon Suppression Tower has been restless recently, so we need to prepare in advance."
"Yeah." Su Heng nodded.
"Hey, you two. Who will take the tower master up there to take a look?" Li Xunhao looked at the other two and spoke lazily.
"Why don't you go by yourself." Miss Bai frowned.
"I just created a nest of poisonous insects. I have to take good care of them. I'm sorry I can't spare the time."
He said he was sorry though.
But that kind of relaxed and lazy tone did not reflect the sincerity it should have.
"I haven't finished my training today." Zhao Zongwu said, then turned and walked towards the corner of the martial arts field.
He took a stance and continued to temper his body.
Miss Bai and Li Xunhao looked at each other, and Miss Bai sighed helplessly.
"Why do such tasks always fall on me?" Miss Bai raised her head and said to Su Heng, "Let me take you to the upper floors to have a look."
"The seal of the Demon Suppression Tower is weakening. As the earth veins fluctuate, some demons may escape. Don't be careless." She explained seriously.
"I understand." Su Heng said.
Several people dispersed, and Li Xunhao continued to go to the corner to cultivate his own poisonous insects.
Miss Bai turned around and walked towards the huge staircase in the shadows, followed closely by Su Heng. When he stepped into the entrance of the staircase, he suddenly felt the change in the atmosphere. The surrounding environment was gloomy, and an inexplicable chill pressed against his skin.
"really……"
Su Heng thought to himself, "The upper part of the Demon Suppression Tower is completely different from the lower part."
Miss Bai took out a white candle from somewhere, lit it, and the flame dispelled the darkness around her that seemed to be real.
The cold and gloomy atmosphere also dissipated a lot.
She turned around and saw Su Heng standing at the entrance of the stairs, as if nothing had happened, with a hint of surprise flashing across his chubby face.
"What a strong body! You don't feel uncomfortable in this environment." Miss Bai sighed in a low voice, "What a monster."
The sixth floor of the Demon-Suppressing Tower.
Some real demons have begun to appear here, but their numbers are small.
Some of them gave me the same feeling as water ghosts. According to the classification given by the Demon Suppression Department, they should be forbidden demons.
The Demon-Suppressing Tower is roughly a cone shape that is wide at the bottom and narrow at the top.
The lower floors are spacious and contain a large number of evil spirits and servants, but the threat they pose is limited.
It is mainly used to conduct targeted research, find methods to defeat the enemy, save records of abnormal phenomena around Baihua County, etc.
And on the upper floors.
Although the number of imprisoned monsters has obviously decreased a lot.
But these things are the precious property of the Demon Suppression Department. Every real demon means a smooth road to mass-produce demon-shaped warriors.
Under the guidance of Miss Bai, they soon arrived at the seventh floor.
Before entering the seventh floor, Su Heng saw Miss Bai stop briefly and swallow her saliva.
obviously……
Even as an elder, he was still quite afraid of the environment on the next few levels.
As a result, Miss Bai's whole temperament became much more serious.
"Hehehe, are there new people here?" The structure of the seventh floor is almost the same as that of the sixth floor, except that the area is smaller.
Just turned into a long corridor from the huge stone steps.
On the left side of the corridor.
From the rusty cell came the sound of hoarse laughter.
Su Heng stopped and saw a skinny arm extending out from the cell.
And take a step forward and look inside again.
Inside the cell was an old man with messy hair and wearing a green robe.
His skin was covered with ulcerated sores, as if there was only a layer of skin covering his bones. His teeth were almost completely gone, and when he smiled, green saliva dripped from the corners of his mouth, making a hissing sound when it hit the floor.
"Elder Bai, hehehe..." The old man in green robe leaned down and stuck his head out, wanting to see the scenery under the white girl's robe.
Miss Bai frowned and took a step back.
Su Heng frowned, raised his leg and stomped on the old man's outstretched arm, crushing it to pieces. The old man immediately opened his mouth and let out a scream.
"Who is this guy?" Su Heng thought he was really disgusting.
"Old Man Tiandu of the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance is good at refining corpses." Miss Bai looked at him with some caution. In just two short sentences, Old Man Tiandu's arm that had just been crushed had actually recovered as before.
He is obviously not a demon, and no one knows how he did it.
"What a strong body." Tiandu Old Man looked at Su Heng with a silly smile, "If it can be made into a refined corpse, it will definitely be very powerful."
Su Heng frowned, and Miss Bai's voice continued to be heard.
"He once killed a female elder of the Demon Suppression Division, refined her into a corpse concubine, and threw her into a brothel." Miss Bai said, "Few people dare to provoke the Demon Suppression Division like this. Li Dusi personally took action, razed a demon cave, captured him, and imprisoned him here."
"Why don't you just kill this disgusting creature?" Su Heng asked in confusion.
“Two reasons.”
Miss Bai explained, "On the one hand, although he was arrested, the large number of refined corpses he made are still circulating. We can torture him to get a lot of information and target him. On the other hand, even in the Heavenly Demon Alliance, there are few such vicious people. Giving him a quick death is a bit too easy for him."
"Refining corpse..."
Su Heng thought about the day when he went to Baihua County.
The zombies encountered on Canglong Mountain were nothing to Su Heng.
But for ordinary disciples and deacons of the Demon Suppression Bureau, the refined corpses have bodies that are invulnerable to swords and guns and have infinite strength.
It is indeed a very difficult existence to deal with.
If you can find the weakness and target it, it will be much easier.
Leaving the cell of old man Tiandu and continuing forward, soon a huge fat man over two meters tall appeared in front of Su Heng.
The fat man had a big mouth like a catfish, with several fleshy tentacles growing beside his thick lips.
His belly was bulging and his skin was purple-black.
After seeing Su Heng, the fat man kept grinning foolishly, and actually looked a bit honest.
"There's too much fat on my body. I'll feel sick of it if I eat it." Su Heng thought with some regret.
"His name is Mo Catfish, and he was originally a fisherman near Guanjiang River. But one time he fell into the river, and I don't know what dirty stuff he came into contact with, and his body began to swell up."
Seeing Su Heng's serious expression, Miss Bai reminded him, "Don't be fooled by his honest appearance, he is actually quite dangerous. Elder Zhao Zongwu personally led a team to capture him, but he still managed to eat one of his deacons alive."
Continuing forward, in the cell next to him was a human figure wrapped in bandages, with only a sharp big mouth exposed.
"What is this?" Su Heng asked.
"He is a demon servant created by a demon king in the Heavenly Demon Alliance. Although he is just a demon servant, his strength is no weaker than that of the elders of the Demon Suppression Division." Miss Bai said with some fear.
"The Demon King of the Heavenly Demon Alliance." Su Heng asked, "What level of existence is that?"
"There are seven great demon-suppressing families in Baihua County, and the Heavenly Demon Alliance also has seven corresponding demon kings." Miss Bai explained, "These great demons are all demons above the fourth level of viciousness, and have incredible talents and magical powers. The most powerful demon king among them is even as powerful as Li Dusi."
Su Heng nodded, took note, and continued forward.
After walking a few steps, he stopped again and found a familiar figure in the prison. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
A beautiful girl is imprisoned in a cell built of Yao Shi.
She was wearing a red dress and had long loose hair.
There were chains wrapped around her fair wrists, leaving faint red marks.
He buried his head in his thighs, curled up into a ball, without saying a word, isolating himself from the messy world around him.
This beautiful girl is none other than Li Hongxiu from the Red Mansion.
On that day, Li Daoxuan rescued Li Hongxiu from Su Heng and imprisoned her in the Demon Suppression Tower.
Li Hongxiu heard the noise outside.
Looking up, I saw Su Heng's smiling face.
His pupils suddenly contracted and his thin shoulders trembled visibly.
She took two deep breaths, turned around, faced the corner, and turned her slender back towards Su Heng. She simply pretended not to see him and did not move.
Saw this scene.
Miss Bai was obviously a little surprised.
"This girl is a rare evil spirit. I didn't expect she would be so afraid of you." Miss Bai tilted her head. "Have you two known each other before?"
"I guess we know each other." Su Heng thought about it and gave an ambiguous answer.
Miss Bai didn't ask any more questions.
Continuing forward, a huge staircase appeared in the darkness.
Further up is the eighth floor, where some of the demons imprisoned are even stronger than the heads of aristocratic families.
Miss Bai held the candle in her hand and was about to climb the stairs. But at this moment, the flame shook violently and a violent vibration came from under her feet.
The Demon-Suppressing Tower trembled twice.
Cracks appeared on the wall, cracking sounds were heard, and dust and stones fell from the ceiling above, making noises.
Miss Bai was startled at first, and her expression became unusually serious.
"Oops."
"What happened?" Su Heng asked. All the demons on the seventh floor in front of him went berserk.
"It's the fluctuations in the earth veins that weakened the seal." Miss Bai said, "If a demon escapes from the cage, the consequences will be disastrous."
"Do you have the token?" Miss Bai asked anxiously.
"Yes." Su Heng said.
"That's good." Miss Bai breathed a sigh of relief. "First, use the token to reinforce the seal, and then we can find a way to solve the problem."
While the two were talking, there was a crisp sound.
Cracks appeared on the isolation fence made of shining stone and broke into pieces. The huge fat man named Mo Catfish ran out of the prison.
"Free!"
The fat man shouted loudly, and his voice echoed.
As if stimulated by the scene before them, the other demons also slammed the railings hard.
The situation suddenly became extremely chaotic and critical.
"I'll help you stop him, and you quickly use the token to control the formation." Miss Bai raised the sword in her hand, pointed the sharp blade at the catfish, and urged.
Su Heng fiddled with the token for a while, then injected strength into it.
Bang bang bang!
There were continuous explosions.
Under Miss Bai's shocked gaze, all the isolation fences on the entire seventh floor were opened by Su Heng.
"I finally crawled out of this hell."
"free!"
"Li Daoxuan, I will make sure you die a miserable death!"
The demonic energy rolled into a dark wave, and in an instant the entire seventh floor was filled with demons dancing wildly. The chaotic and noisy will made Miss Bai's body tremble.
She turned around silently.
The long sword that was originally aimed at the demon was now directed at Su Heng.
"Why is the Tower Master plotting a rebellion?" Even in this situation, Miss Bai's serious expression did not pose any threat.
