Saint Seiya: This Gemini is a bit of a trap.

"I suspect it's Wei Yueyan, but this is just my guess. I need to verify it with someone else."

"Who?"

"Tong Hu!"

……

Lushan.

On the Five Old Men Peak.

Jia Long brought Chunli back and faced Tong Hu again, telling him everything that had happened at the All-Stars Gathering. Finally, he brought up Wei Yueyan's unusual behavior.

"Galon, news of the Moroboshi Society has already reached Lushan. You did a great job this time. I was worried that the four kids from Biyou Palace would discover your identity."

Tong Hu approved of Jia Long's actions, nodding slightly before speaking to Jia Long about Wei Yueyan:

"The Cloud Shuttle Weaver's Thread is indeed a unique fighting technique of the Wei Yueyan lineage. I faced it at the Gathering of Stars more than 200 years ago. However, this kind of manipulated thread is condensed from the natural power within the Immortal Robe, and it is definitely not as tough as you say, and it can't even block one of your attacks..."

"So, your guess is correct. She is more likely using Star Puppet Threads. Speaking of which, the biggest characteristic of Star Puppet Threads is their toughness and difficulty to break. My old comrade Albafica suffered a great loss with Star Puppet Threads back then. Even with his Black Rose, he could not break this kind of magic thread!"

"Moreover, as far as I know, Minos of Tiangui Star, one of the three giants of the underworld, has escaped from the Demon Suppression Tower. This demon is best at cultivating puppet warriors. He is very likely to be connected with Wei Yueyan of this generation. After all, more than 200 years ago, he had an ambiguous relationship with the successor of Wei Yueyan's lineage."

Seeing Tong Hu's calm and collected demeanor, Jia Long couldn't help but interject, "Senior Tong Hu, aren't you worried about the Underworld Army's infiltration of the Dao Domain?"

"What are you worried about? Which generation of Hades' army hasn't infiltrated the Dao Domain? It's just like how you Geminis like to usurp power; it's perfectly normal."

Tong Hu scoffed dismissively:

"Besides, with the Jade Void Palace here, there's no use in me worrying. Those Taoist priests have already treated the Demon Suppression Tower as their private property. They will absolutely not allow outsiders to get close to the Demon Suppression Tower. This is also why I have been able to monitor the Demon Star from afar in Lushan for more than 200 years."

"If it weren't for the ancient agreement, and the fact that they weren't capable of facing the evil spirits inside the Demon Suppression Tower alone, even the Twenty-Eight Constellations of Biyou Palace wouldn't have been allowed to enter the tower."

"Therefore, rather than worrying about the infiltration of the Underworld Army, I am more worried about these Taoist priests of the Jade Void Palace causing trouble again. If they mess things up and allow the evil gods of the Nine Li Clan to escape, that would be a major event that endangers the entire Dao Domain and even the whole world!"

"The Jiuli tribe?"

Jia Long asked in surprise, "Besides the Underworld Army, there's actually a fourth force lurking in the Dao Domain?"

"Yes, the situation in the Dao Domain is much more complicated than you imagine."

Tong Hu nodded and said, "The Jiuli clan are descendants of the god Pangu, also known as the Jiuli God Clan. The original purpose of building this Demon Suppression Tower was to suppress the descendants of the god Pangu."

"The Jiuli tribe is the closest generation of gods to the present day. Compared with their ancient ancestors, their bloodline is extremely diluted. They can't even be called gods; they can only be considered followers of gods."

"Therefore, they desperately desire to revive the nine progenitors of the Jiuli tribe, namely the legendary Jiuli gods, the eight wild gods of wind, rain, thunder, lightning, demon, monster, and goblin, as well as their leader... Chi You!"

Chapter 221 Chaos! The Gates of Hell Open

chaos!

This was Jia Long's biggest feeling after coming down from Wulao Peak.

In the battle for the Demon Suppression Tower, he originally thought that apart from Yu Xu and Bi You, the Underworld Army was the only lurking third party.

Now, another Jiuli tribe has suddenly appeared.

The Jiuli tribe is the last divine tribe in Daoist legends, that is, the descendants of Pangu and the clan of Chiyou, the god of war.

According to legend, the God of War Chi You was born in the tribe of Emperor Yan Li Jiang. His real name was Li Tan. He had eight sworn evil gods under his command and eighty-one warriors, which is why they were collectively known as the Jiuli tribe.

The Jiuli tribe was very famous. They once invaded the territory of Emperor Yan and fought the famous Battle of Zhuolu with Emperor Huang. Later, they were defeated by Emperor Huang, who was supported by Yu Xu Bi You, and were eventually sealed in the Demon Suppression Tower.

Only a few remnants escaped punishment.

The current Jiuli tribe are descendants of those defeated soldiers. According to Tong Hu, they still possess considerable strength. If they were to truly welcome back Chi You and the other Jiuli gods, it would undoubtedly bring immense harm to the Dao Domain and even the world.

After all, the most terrifying thing in this world is a mindless fanatic.

The Jiuli tribe is known for producing fanatics.

In short, the situation in the Dao Domain is a mess. On the surface, there is the conflict between Yu Xu and Bi You, while in the shadows, the Nine Li of the Underworld are lurking. Who knows how many disputes a small Demon Suppression Tower will cause.

"It seems that this trip to the Demon Suppression Tower is destined to be anything but peaceful. The only way to break this deadlock is to act decisively and decisively!"

……

When Jia Long returned to Moon Fox Manor, the Jade Rabbit and Chang'e were still diligently practicing the teleportation technique.

However, progress has been minimal.

Instant teleportation, whether it's Mu's or Jia Long's, is essentially the application of spatial telekinesis.

Unfortunately, neither the Jade Rabbit nor Chang'e are fighters who excel in spatial telekinesis.

Jade Rabbit is characterized by her amazing explosive power in her feet. Her slender feet are more agile than other people's hands. It is said that she can even play the piano with her toes. As a result, almost all of her combat skills are concentrated in her feet.

Chang'e's distinctive feature lies in her waist. Her slender waist, as delicate as a willow in the wind, possesses a suppleness rarely seen in the world, which makes her fighting skills always look as beautiful as the dance of the fairy in the moon palace.

Although the two women have distinct characteristics, they are completely unrelated to space. It is simply impossible for them to master teleportation in a single day.

Even so, the two women continued to cultivate diligently, even when they were drenched in sweat.

They didn't want to disappoint Jia Long's good intentions.

Although they didn't say it aloud, they were grateful to Jia Long for teaching them his skills. After all, in the Dao Domain where secret techniques were treasured, there were very few pure and good people like Jia Long.

They just felt somewhat guilty towards Jia Long, because even though Jia Long selflessly taught them, they hadn't been able to grasp the basics of teleportation all day.

"Rabbit, Chang'e, haven't you learned it yet?"

"sorry."

"It's okay, I knew you guys wouldn't be able to learn it."

"?!"

"This teleportation technique can only be performed using spatial telekinesis. Without spatial telekinesis, it would be a miracle if you could master it."

"Then why did you make us cultivate?"

"I just wanted you two to get a feel for it beforehand, so I could store some of my spatial energy in your fairy robes when I get back, and you could use it in case of emergency. Who would have thought that you two would actually want to master it and practice it like idiots for a whole day? My god, how can there be two silly girls like you in the world?"

"Jia Long!!"

……

Kunlun.

In the Dao Domain, Kunlun is undoubtedly the number one mountain, towering and majestic with undulating peaks, like a fierce dragon coiling in the heart of the Dao Domain, stretching for countless miles.

Kunlun is not the name of a single mountain, but a collective term for many mountains. The legendary Demon-Suppressing Tower is located within the most mysterious Kunxu in the Kunlun region.

"Kunxu was the battlefield of the three races of humans, demons and gods in ancient times. Countless battles have taken place here. Because so many people died in battle, Kunxu, which is haunted by ghosts all year round, is also known as the Valley of Death."

"Death Valley is the gateway to hell, and the gate to hell is located in this Demon-Suppressing Tower..."

With the Jade Rabbit's introduction, Jia Long and his two companions arrived outside the Demon Suppression Tower.

The so-called Demon-Suppressing Tower of the Gates of Hell is just a tower-like building, a few dozen meters high, resembling an altar. It doesn't look particularly remarkable, but at this moment, the tower is shimmering with light, and there are dozens of immortal warriors standing there.

"Why are so many people here? Are they preparing for war?"

Jia Long glanced around and was surprised to find that the Twenty-Eight Constellations had all arrived and were confronting another group of immortal warriors under the leadership of the Four Sages of Biyou.

“Kang Jinlong, Xin Yuehu, Fang Ritu, the three of you are late for such an important day.”

"The main problem is that the fog is too thick here, and our guide got lost."

"Fang Ri Tu?"

"Who else could it be?"

As they spoke, Jia Long and his two companions arrived beside the Four Saints of Biyou. At this time, Wei Yueyan, Mao Riji, Kui Mulang, and others who had been selected had already arrived.

Following everyone's gaze, Jia Long looked across to the opposite side. Opposite the Twenty-Eight Constellations was a group of immortal warriors wearing Taoist cloaks. Their numbers were about the same as Biyou's side, but they all stood solemnly and uniformly, looking much more imposing than Biyou's side.

Needless to say, these people are the Jade Void Warriors.

Unlike the beast-shaped immortal robes worn by the Biyou warriors, the immortal robes worn by these Yuxu warriors are mostly in the form of various magical treasures, including seals, ancient mirrors, and all sorts of artifacts and divine weapons, which are dazzling and very characteristic of the human race's skill in using external objects.

and.

As a sect, the Jade Void warriors are more organized than the loosely organized Biyou faction. Just by looking at their positions and the color of their cloaks, you can tell their approximate strength and status.

Those standing at the back, wearing black cloaks, are likely ordinary fighters; those in the middle wearing white cloaks are elite fighters; and those standing at the front, wearing gold cloaks, are presumably the famous Twelve Golden Immortals.

The three old warriors leading the way, dressed only in ordinary Taoist robes, were naturally the Jade Void Three Pure Ones, renowned throughout the Dao Domain.

The social classes are clearly defined and can be identified at a glance.

Just as Jia Long was sizing up the Jade Void warriors, the Azure Dragon beside him spoke loudly:

"Taoist Master Taiqing, our people are all here. Can we open the Demon-Suppressing Tower now?"

"Amitabha Buddha, please wait a moment, Fellow Daoist Azure Dragon, this old Daoist will now open the gates of Hell..."

As the smiling voice spoke, an old Taoist priest, the leader of the Three Pure Ones of Jade Void, stepped forward. He was probably in his seventies, with a thin face and a gentle demeanor, looking every bit the enlightened master, giving people a kind feeling at first glance.

"You young people, don't be fooled by his appearance. Taiqing, that old guy, has been focused on internal strife for decades. He's a professional at scheming. If you encounter him in the Demon Suppression Tower, stay as far away as possible!"

Just as Qinglong couldn't help but remind Jia Long and the others.

The old Taoist priest Taiqing had already reached the ancient tower-shaped altar...

"Fellow Daoists, be careful! This old Daoist is about to open the gates of hell!"

Chapter 222 Demon Star! The World Inside the Demon Suppression Tower (Part 1)

Upon hearing Taiqing's words, both the warriors of Yuxu and Biyou abandoned their eye contact and turned to look at the ancient tower-shaped altar.

"Battle Skill: Tai Chi Diagram!"

As Taiqing ascended the altar, he waved his sleeve, and a massive Yin-Yang diagram floated out. This pattern, formed from the power of the microcosm, looked like a magnificent scroll painting. As the Yin and Yang energies rotated, it gradually transformed into a vortex capable of devouring everything.

"An interdimensional vortex?"

Seeing this, Jia Long was stunned. Although the old Taoist's fighting technique was powerful, the effect it produced was similar to his other-dimensional vortex.

"This is the entrance to the Demon Suppression Tower?"

Jia Long stared intently with doubt, and saw that this other-dimensional vortex was slowly rotating from the outside in. Its core was extremely deep and dark, like a black hole, as if it could devour everything and go straight to the underworld.

"It seems that although the principles of combat techniques are similar, the location of his Tai Chi diagram is not in the spacetime turbulence, but in a special space..."
