The Shushan Sect’s Demon Locking Tower has a long history.
It is said that countless years ago, the land of Kyushu was under the rule of the demon clan.
Later, the human race bucked the trend and rose.
Under the leadership of several ancient aristocratic families and ancient immortal sects, after thousands of bloody battles, the rule of the demon clan was finally overthrown.
Countless strong men stained the sky with blood, and after paying an endless price, they killed the ancient demon god here.
In order to suppress the fate of the demon clan, the world's finest copper was gathered to build a demon locking tower at the place where the ancient demon god fell.
A group of the most lethal ancient sword cultivators were dispatched to guard this place.
After countless years of inheritance and development, the later Shushan School was formed.
So, to some extent.
From the first day of its establishment, the Shushan Sect has shouldered the important responsibility of prospering the human race and suppressing the destiny of the demon race.
But precisely because under the Demon Locking Tower, most of the fate of the demon clan in the world is suppressed, it has also become the place where the demonic energy of Kyushu originates.
As time goes by, the evil spirit in the tower increases day by day.
If there is no guidance, one day the seal will be completely broken.
Causing catastrophe and sweeping the world.
Therefore, for thousands of years, Shushan has been sending disciples all over the world to subjugate demons.
Capture the inexperienced little demons back to Shushan and throw them into the Demon Locking Tower to absorb the pure demon energy filled in the tower.
After he becomes a great demon, he will send his disciples to kill him.
In this way, the accumulated evil spirit in the tower can be relieved.
However, this approach treats the symptoms rather than the root cause and can only delay the situation.
About every thousand years or so, a powerful demon king will be born in the Demon Locking Tower, leading a group of demons to attack the seal.
Shushan experienced a turbulent disaster.
And each disaster is more severe in scale and severity.
Decades ago, in the Demon Locking Tower, a new demon king came into being.
More powerful than every demon king before.
Immediately after his birth, a demon clan sealing barrier was set up in the Demon Locking Tower.
Shushan experts above level 100 will no longer be able to enter it.
Shushan disciples below level 100 can even enter the Demon Locking Tower.
You can only carry out activities below the seventh floor and kill some low-level monsters.
There is absolutely nothing that can be done against those high-level demons at the level of demon kings.
You can only watch them, influenced by the extremely pure demon energy in the Demon Locking Tower, growing stronger day by day.
Fortunately, the leader of Shushan in this life was able to suppress it with his skill in nature and swordsmanship.
But in the last battle at Fengdu Mountain, because the sword master rushed thousands of miles to help, the demons in the Demon Locking Tower rioted, causing the seal to be damaged.
This makes the already tight and difficult situation even worse.
All the powerful men from Shushan were dispatched, almost using up all the wealth they had accumulated over the past millennium, but they were unable to repair the seal.
On the contrary, the attack of monsters in the tower is getting more violent day by day, and they may break out at any time.
Originally, Shushan was planning to request support from other immortal sects and the Heluo court.
However, he never expected that at this moment, Emperor Heluo suddenly died, and King Jiangnan rebelled.
The situation in the world instantly fell into turmoil.
Even many immortal sects were affected to some extent and were trapped in it, leaving no time for others to take care of it.
Shushan can only try to rely on its own strength to tide over the difficulties.
In recent days, almost all the senior officials of Shushan have been troubled by this matter. It can be said that they are exhausted.
After hearing what Elder Chuanjian said, Shen Qing immediately patted his chest and volunteered loudly:
"As Shushan's true disciple, it is my duty to face this calamity."
"Let me go into the Demon Locking Tower and kill those demon kings that the juniors can't deal with!"
Upon hearing this, Elder Chuanjian slapped his forehead on the spot, and his eyes instantly lit up.
He felt it very clearly when he helped Shen Qing change his job just now.
Within Shen Qing's body, dormant was a powerful force far beyond his level of cultivation.
At this time, hearing Shen Qing volunteering, his thoughts instantly opened up:
"That's right! Why didn't I think of that?"
"Uncle Junior, you are not at a high level, so you can enter the Demon Locking Tower."
"Besides, he is equipped with the Wuji Sword Body and has treasures such as the Seven-Star Longyuan beside him. It is no problem to deal with the ordinary demon king."
"Even if something unexpected happens in the tower, the gods will protect you and you can be resurrected."
"It can just help Shushan and alleviate the current urgent need."
The two hit it off immediately.
Elder Chuanjian immediately took Shen Qing to the Demon Locking Tower located on the top of Shushan Mountain.
The Demon Locking Tower is ninety-nine feet high, with nine floors and six eaves.
The overall shape is classical and solemn, and the entire body is made of hundred-refined bronze.
There are numerous complex inscriptions engraved on the surface of the tower.
There are also eighteen heavy chains as thick as wrists, connected from the top of the tower to the surrounding ground.
The inscriptions on the surface of the chain floated, and bright energy rays shone rhythmically along the grooves of the inscriptions.
The tower body and the chains are covered with yellow talismans described in Zhang Dan's book.
As the mountain wind blows incessantly, the power of the seal circulates and circulates, exuding bursts of mysterious aura.
There are also more than a dozen Shushan elders with advanced cultivation, each with a sharp sword with a cold light shining in front of them.
According to a certain special formation, they are scattered around the Demon Locking Tower to stimulate cultivation and maintain the operation of the sealing formation.
On the top of the Demon Locking Tower, a figure wearing a Taoist robe, with white beard and hair, and an immortal style sat cross-legged.
The whole body exudes the aura of returning to nature and following the natural path.
It is none other than the contemporary leader of Shushan, the Sword Master—Yin Ruoxu!
After Elder Chuanjian brought Shen Qing there, he immediately bowed to the Sword Master.
Reported the hope of sending Shen Qing into the Demon Locking Tower to kill the Demon King and alleviate the current situation.
The sword master opened his eyes after hearing this and glanced at Shen Qing faintly.
It seemed that in an instant, he understood all the secrets of Shen Qing. Lotus had a thorough look inside and outside.
He nodded and said to Shen Qing: "In that case, you can enter the tower and give it a try."
"The Demon Locking Tower is a good training opportunity for you."
"Thank you, uncle, for making it possible!"
Shen Qing respectfully bowed deeply to the Sword Master.
The next second, a crisp system ringtone came to my ears:
[Ding~, you accepted the mission: eliminate demons in the tower]
[Task content: Please go to the Demon Locking Tower to kill the high-level Demon King above level 90. After leaving the tower, you will receive generous rewards. The reward value is related to the number and grade of demon kings killed. 】
…
After Shen Qing accepted the mission, Elder Chuanjian immediately cast a spell.
He cast a green light spell and landed on the body of the Demon Locking Tower!
The tower suddenly trembled, and the tower door on the seventh floor slowly opened.
Behind the exposed door, there was an extremely deep darkness.
An extremely rich black demonic energy spurted out in an instant.
There were screams and shrill screams of demons in between.
"The tower door has been opened, please enter the tower quickly!" Elder Chuanjian's voice was urgent.
Before he finished speaking, Shen Qing had already raised his sword and flew into the opened tower door with a "whoosh" sound.
His eyes were filled with unconcealable excitement:
"Monsters, tremble!"
"Monster Locking Tower, your emperor has arrived!"
