Cultivating immortality relies on spatial abilities; defying fate to become the protagonist.

Chapter 269

Gu Shihan waved her hand and sent Xingbai to the white side. With the presence of the bead, Xingbai disappeared into the white mist in a flash.

Gu Shihan and his companions launched an operation against the mysterious black mist inside the small tower without hesitation.

However, as they moved, they were surprised to find that the path inside was as intricate and complex as a maze!
The group of people who were walking side by side just moments ago were suddenly lost in the endless forks in the road and lost contact with each other.

Although a sense of anxiety inevitably arose in everyone's hearts, they were all seasoned veterans with rich experience, and they quickly calmed down.

Gu Shihan made a decisive move, ordering Yu Tong beside her to unleash her fire power to clear a path. With a soft shout, Yu Tong waved her hands, and raging flames erupted, like a ferocious fire dragon charging forward, burning a path through the air.

Gu Shihan herself used her guiding light spiritual power to sweep across the rear, purifying the wandering black mist one by one.

The other teammates were equally determined, working closely with their respective contracted beasts. Some used their immense strength to launch powerful attacks directly at the densest part of the black mist; others skillfully used magic to unleash bursts of lightning, blasting the black mist to shreds.

In an instant, flames soared into the sky inside the tower, and all sorts of shrill screams rose and fell, never ceasing.

With everyone working together, the purification work proceeded smoothly. Gradually, the thick black fog that had filled the tower began to dissipate, and visibility became clearer.

But just then, a commotion suddenly broke out outside the tower.

Everyone's hearts sank, realizing something was wrong. It turned out that the demons had noticed the unusual commotion at the small tower, and a large number of demon soldiers were rushing towards them menacingly.

Gu Shihan and the others knew that the current situation was extremely critical. If the demons discovered that they were purifying the crucial bead here, all their previous efforts would be in vain.

They were scattered in various corners of the tower at this moment, and it would be no easy task for them to gather together immediately.

Time is of the essence; every minute and second lost could lead to catastrophic consequences...

Just at this critical moment, Xingbai's clear and firm voice suddenly rang in the depths of Gu Shihan's mind: "Hanhan, I'm about to achieve great success! I'll send you away from this tower now. You must do everything you can to hold off those despicable demons. I will come to support you as quickly as possible with the purified beads!"

Upon hearing Xingbai's words, Gu Shihan responded without hesitation, "Okay! We will definitely hold out to the end!"

Xingbai used the newly inherited Great Teleportation Technique to safely send Gu Shihan and the others out of the small, exquisite, yet mysterious pagoda from a specific direction.

In an instant, nine people and Yu Tong's nine beasts descended from the sky, crashing straight to the ground with a fierce momentum.

This sudden turn of events threw the previously prepared demon soldiers into a state of panic, leaving them looking at each other in bewilderment.

Gu Shihan and the others were not about to let this golden opportunity slip by. They showed no mercy, unleashing a dazzling array of spells like fireworks, their multicolored lights intertwining to create a beautiful yet deadly spectacle.

The array plates they had on hand were thrown out one after another, flashing with strange light in the air and releasing powerful energy fluctuations.

For a moment, the attacking demon soldiers were completely disoriented and bewildered. The teamwork among them was flawless, with everyone thinking in unison. Some were responsible for drawing the demon soldiers' attention, while others seized the opportunity to launch a fatal attack, and still others cleverly set up formations to restrict the enemy's movements.

Thus, thanks to their excellent teamwork, they slowed down the demon soldiers' approach to the small tower and temporarily withstood the enemy's fierce attack.

However, the demons were not to be trifled with. At first, caught off guard by the relentless attacks from Gu Shihan and her group, the demon soldiers did indeed appear somewhat disheveled.

But as time went on, these battle-hardened demons gradually came to their senses, began to calmly analyze the situation, and adjusted their strategies and tactics.

Gradually, they adopted a step-by-step, steady approach to advance, gradually shrinking the space for Gu Shihan's side to maneuver.

As the situation grew increasingly critical and the defensive line could collapse at any moment, beads of sweat appeared on everyone's foreheads, and they secretly groaned in despair.

At this critical moment, a familiar figure suddenly appeared before everyone as if descended from the heavens—it was Xing Bai! He held the bead that emitted a pure light, and his whole being seemed to be bathed in a layer of holy radiance.

The bead released a powerful light that repelled the demon soldiers.

"Hanhan, this is the little tower. Take good care of it. I'll go into the space first and prepare enough things for you. This thing entering the space will definitely trigger a space upgrade. The space will close after that. By the way, during the space upgrade, Yutong will have to stay with you. I won't be able to help you anymore, so please be careful."

"Okay, I understand! Xingbai, congratulations!" Gu Shihan said with a smile.

Gu Shihan reached out and took the small, exquisite five-colored jade piece. The moment his fingertips touched the jade, a warm sensation came from his palm, as if this small jade stone contained endless energy.

Although the demon soldiers have been temporarily repelled, they are still watching the situation from a distance.

Xingbai transformed into a dazzling streak of light, swiftly disappearing into the mysterious space like a shooting star, vanishing without a trace.

People gathered around, their eyes filled with curiosity and anticipation as they stared intently at the small jade piece in Gu Shihan's hand.

Gu Shihan took a deep breath, slowly mobilized a trace of spiritual power within her body, and carefully injected it into the small tower.

In an instant, the small jade piece seemed to be stimulated by some magical power, and its interior suddenly began to expand rapidly, becoming enormous in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, a powerful repulsive force erupted from within the small jade block, like an invisible vortex, pushing the menacing demon soldiers far away, while a light mist separated the two sides.

"Shi Han, what happened?" Duan Siqi and the others were surprised to find that the space here had undergone earth-shattering changes.

"This is the small tower activating its protective mechanism. We are safe for now. Everyone, quickly replenish your immortal spiritual power," Gu Shihan instructed.
