The most melodramatic rebirth in history

Chapter 163 Entering the Wolf's Den
"Open the door quickly! I am here to lock the Ghost Tower in repentance according to the sect leader's orders. If you continue to do this, it will be disobeying the sect leader's orders and showing no respect for him!"

A voice filled with grief and indignation echoed through the thick, dark gate into the first level of the Ghost Locking Tower, causing the two old men inside, who were about to continue drinking, to raise their eyebrows, exchange a glance, and put down their wine cups.

However, even after suffering such humiliation and waiting for so long, Li Tian did not dare to leave. After all, the punishment of "facing the wall in repentance" in the Ghost Locking Tower was personally decided by the Jade Purity Sect Master.

After suffering a terrible fate at the hands of Feng Tianjue, even if someone offered him nine lives, he wouldn't dare to disobey again.

Similarly, since Li Tian had already said so much, Ling Weiyun's clone and Protector Ou naturally had to let him in. Otherwise, Li Tian could easily go to Feng Tianjue and accuse them of deliberately preventing him from receiving punishment.

At that time, that guy will definitely return, strutting around with the imperial edict...

If the two of them continue to play dumb because they can't stand being insulted, wouldn't that really provoke Feng Tianjue to send them an "invitation" to sit in the Jade Purity Hall...?

Let's talk about life, let's talk about ideals...!
Please knock on the door using the correct posture!

"Please use the correct posture when you speak to me!"

Thinking of this, the two old men, who were looking at each other, nodded in tacit agreement and spoke, their tone playful.

Let them through? Sure! But we can't let that guy outside the door get away with it so easily.

"Damn it—! Those two old bastards are absolutely despicable!"

Hearing two lazy, mocking voices coming from inside, Li Tian stood outside the door gritting his teeth, unable to calm down for a long time. He even wanted to curse inwardly, but he was under someone else's roof and had no choice but to bow his head.

"Guardian Elder, Protector Ou, your disciple Li Tian has something to ask..."

The scarred youth's eyes flickered, and finally, gritting his teeth, he feigned a gesture, loudly clasping his hands in a fist and bowing before the dark door. Perhaps, he had truly answered the question correctly...

With a click, the dark door opened again, and two aged, emotionless voices came from inside: "Come in!"

"Hmph! What are you pretending for?" Li Tian slowly got up, dusted himself off, and muttered disdainfully in a voice he thought the other person couldn't hear, "In the end, you still opened it for me!"

Judging from his dawdling and nonchalant manner, he still seemed quite impatient with the two's behavior, little did he know that he had just angered someone.

"Ah—!" The scarred youth cried out in surprise as he was lifted into the air and forcibly pulled from outside the door to the withered old man inside the Ghost Locking Tower by a withered old hand.

"Snapped--!"

Immediately afterwards, Ling Weiyun's clone coldly withdrew his other hand and, without hesitation, delivered a crisp and loud slap to Li Tian's face.

"Bastard—!" A faint current of energy swirled around his body as Li Tian roared furiously, his voice filled with hysterical madness and rage.

Li Tian, ​​a tenth-level advanced ghost spirit master, was always high and mighty among the inner and outer sects and core disciples. Even most of the elders in the sect treated him with great respect. When had he ever suffered such humiliation?

"You dare hit me...!" Before I could finish the word, as if in response to his words, a second loud slap landed on his face. Instantly, Li Tian felt a burning pain on his face.

"Slap—!" Like a bucket of cold water being poured over him, the slap completely sobered the enraged scarred youth, making him vaguely realize that he couldn't afford to be confrontational with the old man before him. Otherwise, he would be the one to suffer!

"Impossible, this is impossible...!" After Li Tian calmed down a bit, he was shocked to find that his tenth-level cultivation, which he was so proud of, seemed to have lost its power!

No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free. His body seemed to be firmly fixed in place by something, or more accurately, it was strangely stuck to the withered old man's hand...!
With a thud, the withered old man breathed a sigh of relief, then seemed to lose interest. He casually tossed the scarred man to the ground, his contemptuous attitude as if he were throwing away a large piece of trash.

"Speak! You have something to ask me to see you about. What is it?"

Ling Weiyun's clone glanced at Li Tian, ​​whose face bore a red handprint, then turned and sat back down at the table, his expression calm and composed.

They seemed oblivious to the strange expression on the other person's face, and to the murderous glint in their eyes.

Asking questions knowingly!

This was clearly a prelude to "preparing to make things difficult," which made the old man in the green robe twitch at the corner of his mouth. He didn't think the other party was being unreasonable.

Who told Li Tian to bring this on himself?

"Just my taste!" Not only that, but the old man opposite him was able to quickly recover and drink fine wine after getting angry and hitting someone. Oulaiya really liked this kind of genuine character!

"Old Ling, what skill!" After the old man sitting opposite him picked up his wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp, Protector Ou immediately came to his senses, replaced his wine cup with a wine bowl, raised it up, and cast an admiring glance at him.

These heartless words sank Li Tian's heart, who had just caught his breath and whose cultivation was gradually recovering.

"Gulp...!"

His Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed, and the scarred youth swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue, abandoning his plan to ask the green-robed elder for help.

It's better to rely on yourself than on others!
Li Tian carefully and slowly infiltrated towards the exit, glancing back every now and then. He saw the two old people at the table drinking heartily, and they were even tilting their heads back and chugging their drinks. His eyes lit up with joy, and he quickly turned around and sped up his movements...

A hint of resentment rose in my heart. When I get back, I will immediately tell my martial uncle and let him avenge me. You two will be crying!

With a creak, just as someone, full of boundless imagination and hope, climbed to within three meters of the door, the gate at the bottom of the Ghost Locking Tower slowly closed.

Immediately afterwards, darkness enveloped the room, rapidly shifting the environment from light to darkness, reducing visibility to an unprecedented low...

Even though Li Tian stretched out his arm and tried to hold on with all his heart, he could only watch helplessly as the door slipped through his fingers, and silently endure the endless darkness enveloping his body...

"No, no, no...!" Seeing his hope shattered, the scarred man's eyes were filled with utter despair. These words were almost a scream from his heart, a terrified scream that he could not accept.

"Where are you going...?"

Two sinister voices sounded from behind him. Looking at the approaching shadow on the ground, the scarred youth trembled. This was truly like walking into a wolf's den!
If you could choose...

Li Tian dares to swear to God.
He will never come to the Ghost Tower again!
P.S.: Suddenly realized that piracy is true love! No matter how badly it flops, I'll support it as always. I'm inexplicably touched…! If you were here, I'd bow to you… Σ(????)?
