Following the pig demon all the way to the bottom of the tower, Ye Qingcheng discovered that there was a small wooden house built here, but he couldn't see it because he was blocked by the tower when he came out of the teleportation array just now. Next to the wooden house, there is a small shack that looks like a doghouse. It exudes a strong demonic aura and a smell that is often found in pigsties in the world. There is a very soft-looking down shack inside. And the little pig demon lay down directly back in the nest and fell asleep.
Then, with a burst of space fluctuations, before the door of the wooden house opened, a haggard figure appeared in front of him.
This did not surprise him at all. Even someone like Wang Tianba could use short flash to move from the center of the room to the outside of the house at such a short distance. Any immortal who had practiced short flash could do it. Therefore, Ye Qingcheng was not surprised.
What appeared in front of him was a thin old man with gray hair. If Ye Qingcheng hadn't been able to sense the powerful aura in him, he might have thought he was an ordinary old man who couldn't even walk in the mortal world.
However, even if the opponent hides his own aura, Ye Qingcheng has cultivated the talent type to seek Qi with his mind. As long as he exists in a place with vitality, he can see clearly the reality of the other party through the ubiquitous vitality. This old man is so real His pseudo-emperor level cultivation is not fake. Moreover, he also learned from the Golden Immortal that this old man was the top strong man even among the pseudo-emperors, so he was able to be arranged by the sect to guard this extremely important Tower of Babel.
But speaking of being a guard, Ye Qingcheng felt that this was a disguised form of exile. Although the Tower of Babel was important, even if there was an invasion by outsiders, they would not bother to come here at all. Not to mention that it was not an important facility, the tower was quite large. It is dangerous and has few resources, so it is impossible to become a target of hostile sectarian forces. Letting such a powerful pseudo-emperor guard the Babel Tower is really the same as being exiled. If it were another sect, sending an ordinary high-level Golden Immortal would be almost the same.
Moreover, based on his appearance, it is not difficult to infer that he must be quite old.
The lifespan of an ordinary pseudo-emperor can last for thousands of years, which is quite close to that of a powerful Heavenly Emperor. It can be seen that this old man is probably thousands of years old, and he is one who cannot break through for a long time. If he had been able to break through and become a Heavenly Emperor-level being earlier, his appearance would not be so old. Precisely because he has never been able to break through, as he grows older, even a pseudo-Emperor-level being will look older and older. .
When he looked at the old man there, Huan Chenyu Fen Nian in his sea of spiritual thoughts suddenly showed a somewhat surprised look.
"What, Brother Chenyu, do you know this person?" Bai Quan's question made Ye Qingcheng also curious. This old man should have been guarding the Babel Tower for a long time. He has never gone out in such an isolated place. People simply don’t know about the existence of such a person, so how can Huan Chenyu know about it?
"Well, originally I just felt a little familiar, but I wasn't sure. But after observing you so closely, I was able to confirm that this guy is the person in my impression."
"Oh? Then I'm really curious. How could you, who had been trapped on the top of Panlong Mountain before, know such a guy who has been guarding the Babel Tower?"
"It's a long story. In fact, this old guy didn't stay in the Tower of Babel forever... His name is Baili Jiaquan. He has a weird name and a weird personality. However, he has extremely high talents and qualifications. At that time, When I met him, he was already the elder of Shushan Sword Pavilion, and his status in the entire sect was quite high." At this point, his eyes flickered, and he seemed to be lost in memories.
"The first time I saw him was in the camp of the human-monster coalition. At that time, he was not so old. He looked completely middle-aged. I didn't expect that after a thousand years, he would have aged like this."
Human-male coalition? Bai Quan and Ye Qingcheng looked at each other, and they both remembered that this should refer to the name of the coalition when the Human Race Federation and the Monster Race Alliance united during the invasion of the Demon Tribulation Dao. At that time, Huan Chenyu ran away from the True Dragon Clan in anger. When he happened to encounter the invasion of the Demon Tribulation Path, he took out his anger on these demons and joined the human-monster alliance. After thinking about it, we roughly understood that the old man named Baili Jiaquan was guarding the Babel Tower regardless of whether he was responsible or not. When encountering such a major event as the invasion of the Demon Tribulation Dao, he could only act as an important combat force and rush to the front line. Naturally, Huan Chenyu was Got to know him at that time.
"So, how strong is he?" This is the question that Ye Qingcheng is more concerned about.
Because this old man who is a pseudo-emperor, no matter how much he makes things difficult for him, the only time he interacts with the other party is when he broke into the Babel Tower. After he goes to the inner gate, it should be impossible for him to have any intersection with the other party again, so There is no need to understand or please the other person. Therefore, his only interest in this person is the size of his magical powers. Judging from Huan Chenyu's appearance, this old man is probably, as the Jinxian in the attendance hall of Huangyuan said, among beings of the same level, he is enough to be called a powerful person. It's extremely strong.
"In terms of strength, let me give you an example. He was called a 'human massacre' by those demon lords back then. You can imagine that."
Being called a human massacre by the demon lord? Ye Qingcheng opened his mouth slightly. After spending so much time with Huan Chenyu, he still knew how powerful the Demon Clan's Venerables were. Among the Demon Clan, only Demon King-level beings with noble blood and super strength can be called Venerables. Just like the Heavenly Emperor with the title of Emperor in their human world, he is equivalent to the Golden Immortal with the title. Moreover, their strength can be said to be crushing when faced with beings of the same level as humans and monsters. The Golden Immortal and the Demon Emperor among the human-monster coalition could only use their best means or rely on numbers to face the demon lords at that time. Only by crushing can you barely win.
And this old ghost can be called a human slaughterer by such a group of demon lords. From this, we can imagine how strong he is.
"So, why is such a powerful character assigned to guard such an insignificant Tower of Babel in the secret realm of the two courtyards?"
"Then I don't know, but I can generally infer that although he did not belong to any faction when I met him, the intelligence I collected later on the top of Panlong Mountain showed that he was in Jiange When I was in the Presbyterian Church, I used to belong to the pro-Chu Aotian faction."
"I understand." Ye Qingcheng nodded, understanding what Huan Chenyu meant.
