But when Demon Lord Chonglou heard these words, his eyes suddenly opened.
The White Impermanence was so frightened that his legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground.
"Hmph, what does it matter to me what happens in the human world?"
"If Mount Shu can't protect the Demon-Suppressing Sword, it's because they're too weak."
"Moreover, the Demon-Suppressing Sword was not originally a property of Mount Shu. I took it simply to return it to its rightful owner."
"Lin Yan, I have lost today, but I will keep my promise to you."
"I will come to find you again in the future."
Demon Lord Chonglou snorted coldly and glanced at Bai Wuchang.
It then transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the nearby town, reviving all the wronged souls who had died around it.
Having done all this, he tore open space and returned directly to the Demon Realm.
"What a decisive guy."
"However, it can be considered that the promise has been fulfilled."
Lin Yan glanced in the direction where Demon Lord Chonglou had left, and sighed with a smile.
He didn't go to kill the Demon Lord Chonglou because he was afraid of causing trouble.
After all, if the dignified ruler of the Demon Realm were killed in the human world, who knows what kind of trouble it would cause.
"Junior brother, let's go back to Mount Shu first."
"Time is really running out."
Xu Changqing's injuries were not serious, and after Lin Yan's treatment, he was able to move around freely.
Immediately, he grabbed Lin Yan, wanting to get to Mount Shu as soon as possible.
Only in this way can the problem of the Demon-Locking Tower be solved quickly.
"The four of you, go to Chang'an and wait for me."
"I'll come to Chang'an to find the four of you after I've settled my business."
"Remember, you must not cause trouble with the Black and White Impermanence."
Lin Yan glanced at the four people and decided to send them to Chang'an City first.
Following me might cause some trouble.
If Shushan truly doesn't want him to leave, it would be easier for him to handle things alone.
"Yes, my lord."
Even though Hei Bai Wu Chang couldn't persuade Lin Yan, he nodded knowingly.
Lin Yan followed Xu Changqing, flying on his sword towards the direction of Mount Shu.
"I didn't realize he was still this kind of person."
"Such a noble cause, willing to suppress the Demon-Locking Tower for the sake of the people."
Tang Xuejian looked in the direction Lin Yan and Xu Changqing had left with some surprise and spoke up.
Her opinion of Lin Yan had changed somewhat.
He originally thought that Lin Yan was the kind of person who always did things as he pleased.
But unexpectedly, there was this unknown side to it.
"You still don't understand the Lord."
"The monsters in the Demon-Sealing Tower have escaped, but the master doesn't care at all."
"The one the lord truly cares about is none other than Xu Changqing."
"It is obvious that Xu Changqing and the Lord had a very good relationship when they were young."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have been willing to go and help."
When Bai Wuchang heard Tang Xuejian's evaluation, he couldn't help but sneer.
He and Hei Wuchang followed Lin Yan the longest.
Naturally, it was clear that Lin Yan no longer had much affection for Mount Shu.
"That's right, the master isn't looking for the Five Elemental Pearls for the sake of Mount Shu."
"Instead, I wanted to repay the kindness of the Shushan Sect Leader in raising me. I have already repaid that kindness."
"From now on, we will truly be strangers to Shushan."
Black Impermanence nodded, though both brothers were somewhat puzzled.
But I still admire Lin Yan's actions very much.
After all, there are very few people who can do what Lin Yan did.
"Tch, in the end he's still a selfish person."
"He could disregard so many lives in the world."
Tang Xuejian's face showed anger when she heard what the two brothers said.
But soon, upon seeing the fierce expressions of the Black and White Impermanence brothers, they immediately hid behind Longkui.
Even if it was Long Kui in blue at this moment, the Black and White Impermanence brothers dared not do anything to her.
After all, the thousand-year-old ghost power he cultivated was far more powerful than that of the two brothers.
. . . . . .
On the other side, Lin Yan, who had been traveling all day, followed Xu Changqing back to a familiar place.
Since he left, Mount Shu has not changed much.
However, the four elders of Mount Shu presented the Demon-Locking Tower from all four sides, opening up a barrier around it.
Even with the seals and barriers in place, Lin Yan could still sense a powerful demonic force constantly colliding inside the Demon Locking Tower.
The Demon-Sealing Tower has seven floors in total, and each floor, from the seventh floor to the first floor, has a very strong barrier.
Currently, Lin Yan can sense that most of the monsters should be gathered around the fifth floor.
It's likely that even if the four elders guarded this place day and night...
Without the Five Elemental Pearls, the Demon Locking Tower would be breached by the demons led by the Heavenly Demon Emperor within five days.
"Lin Yan?"
Elder Cang Gu opened his eyes and saw that it was Lin Yan who had returned; a strange expression appeared on his face.
The other three elders also opened their eyes upon hearing Elder Cang Gu's words.
"You traitor to Mount Shu, what are you doing back at Mount Shu?"
"Don't you think that because we are guarding the Demon-Locking Tower, no one in the Shu Mountain can take you down?"
Elder Youxuan looked at Lin Yan in front of him, and his expression became solemn.
Although Lin Yan was brought back by Xu Changqing, the four elders were much more stubborn than expected.
Naturally, they wouldn't let a traitor like Lin Yan from Shushan go easily.
"Elders, please calm down."
"These are the Five Elemental Pearls, which my third junior brother painstakingly retrieved."
"The purpose is to help Mount Shu stabilize the seal of the Demon Locking Tower."
Seeing that the four elders' expressions had turned somewhat unpleasant, Xu Changqing immediately stepped forward.
He took the Five Elemental Pearls out of his pocket, and the light they emitted made the four elders pause slightly.
They looked at Lin Yan with some surprise, not expecting that the Five Elemental Pearls would be found so quickly.
It had only been five days since Xu Changqing left Mount Shu.
The round trip will probably take about three days.
Chapter 162 The Demon-Sealing Tower, That's a Great Tonic
And now, they are being told that Lin Yan had taken back the Five Elemental Pearls ahead of time.
This inevitably made them feel strange.
"Where did Chang Yin go? Why didn't he come back with the two of you?"
Elder Heyang, seeing this scene before him, was also puzzled and asked a question.
Upon hearing Elder Yang's words, Xu Changqing's expression clearly changed slightly.
Just as he was about to answer truthfully, Lin Yan stepped forward.
"Chang Yin, I killed him."
