Kara...
This is a deserted courtyard with scattered gravel, and the crumbling walls are not connected together. However, the gray stone tower inside is intact, but it is also full of traces of ancient damage.
Chu Liang and his party stepped into the courtyard cautiously, their faces full of vigilance.
In the Valley of Thousand Towers, such a simple and unpretentious tower is quite abnormal. Every time the previous pavilion approached, there would be an illusion of dead souls evolving, but here it was just quiet and dilapidated.
"Is it because there were no living souls here when the Shenxu fell? So even if it fell to the ground, there were no dead souls here." Lord Qinglong guessed.
"It's possible." Caiyi nodded.
The three big guys walked in front, and Chu Liang silently followed behind, looking around.
This tower really does not look like a residence. It has eight floors and eight corners, and there are rusted and blocked copper bells hanging on the eaves. Looking inside through the door frame, there is no decoration. It is just an empty stone wall with some square holes dug out on the four walls. There are some fragments of overturned pots in the potholes.
"It looks like a Buddhist sacrificial tower, with powerful bones or relics placed inside." Qinglong added.
All four people entered the tower, and there were no emergencies. It seemed that there was indeed no problem and they walked forward boldly. At the end of the corridor is another door, go through it and you can go out. But when a few people walked out of the back door, the scene in front of them was a bit horrifying.
The place is densely packed with corpses.
Judging from the decomposition of these corpses, it seems that they have not reached the level of ancient times. Some of the clothes have not been corroded, and most of the bones still retain a dull golden luster. They appear to be wearing all kinds of clothes, men and women, and the only similarity is that these people are all powerful at least in the seventh realm.
A yard of powerful corpses!
Dozens of seventh-level great masters, it took who knows how many years for so many of them to have fallen in the world of immortality, but they are all piled up here today. But several people were not surprised. Thinking of the previous legends about Qianlou Valley, the identities of these people were easy to come out.
"This should be the team that united the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths back then." Chu Liang looked over one by one, and now his faces could not be seen. He could still vaguely identify which immortal sect these people belonged to from their clothes and magical weapons. "Nearly all the troops here are Overturned."
"Sure enough, even if you force your way through the illusions in front of you, you may not be able to survive so many strong people. Since all the teams back then died here, it only means that the enemies here will be even more terrifying." Caiyi put up a twelve-point alert , a demonic aura began to appear around him.
Everything here is real. She can no longer break the situation as easily as before.
You can see the exit gate far ahead, with a distance of only a few hundred feet in between. However, there are bones everywhere within this distance, but people dare not set foot easily.
Chu Liang unfolded his spiritual consciousness and muttered: "But there is no trace of the enemy, and we don't know where they came from. Why don't we... let's collect the bones of our seniors first."
He leaned down and wanted to put these bones into the storage jade slips.
This move is naturally out of respect for the predecessors of the human race, and we cannot just watch people expose their bodies here. Of course, these are all powerful immortals who started in the seventh realm, and together they must be a small treasure. The bones must be returned to the immortal sects for burial. It is normal for there to be some missing items, right?
"My master often teaches me that practitioners should have kind thoughts and help others to be laid to rest... It is a pleasure to help others and to be laid to rest in peace..." Chu Liang muttered and was about to put away a skeleton at hand.
Suddenly I noticed something was wrong.
There was a round and convex object bulging under the skeleton. It did not move at first, but when Chu Liang touched it, it suddenly slid upward to the position of the skeleton's heavenly spirit.
It looks like a black ball the size of a pebble?
Before he could see clearly what this thing was, the skeleton's eyes lit up, and their eyes glowed with black-gold light!
"Be careful!" Taoist Yan shouted flatly.
Chu Liang had already understood the Indivisible Way, and at the moment when the sudden change occurred, he had already moved ten feet away. And the skeleton had already stood up, releasing a sinister aura from its entire body. Every bone makes a weird creaking sound as it moves.
"Leave me alone." Venerable Qinglong stepped forward calmly, blocking the way between Chu Liang and the skeleton. He flew up and hit the skeleton's chest with a flying palm.
Bang——
There was a loud tremor.
Not to mention a skeleton that has been decayed for hundreds of years, even if this seventh-level great master is standing here unscathed, there is no way he can withstand the attack of Lord Qinglong.
But the strange thing is that when this palm hit the skeleton's chest, except for a shock sound, it only slid back a foot.
The offensive ability of Lord Qinglong is not strong, which is compared to the strong men at the peak of the Eighth Realm. Even the beings with shallower cultivation in the Eighth Realm cannot take over so easily.
Where did this skeleton get its power?
"There's something wrong with that bead." Caiyi suddenly said: "It looks like a Buddhist relic that contains spirituality, but it is full of demonic energy..."
"It doesn't matter whether you are a Buddha or a demon, don't even think about running wild here!" Venerable Qinglong felt that he had lost face just now, and was a little angry. He turned his hands and twisted his wrists, and in an instant he turned into a dragon's claw, and yanked it out with a vicious claw!
boom--
This blow was extremely fierce and fierce, and it landed on the ground. In an instant, the corpse was blown away and scattered, turning into broken bones on the ground.
"Huh..." Venerable Qinglong breathed a sigh of relief and sneered: "A little evil devil dares to cause trouble?"
Before he finished speaking, there were sounds like grinding teeth, and all the corpses present shone with their heavenly spirits and stood up on the spot, swaying like zombies. Including the one he knocked away, they also reunited under the black light, and once again condensed into a skeleton with complete limbs.
In the blink of an eye, the four of them were surrounded.
Facing the large number of strange demonic bodies in front of him, Chu Liang blinked and looked at the old Qinglong beside him, "Venerable Qinglong, are they still waiting for you to come?"
His attitude is very obvious. Since he chooses to chew on his old age, he will carry it out to the end.
Venerable Qinglong was silent for a moment, and then said: "If you can help, please help appropriately."
…
Boom boom boom boom!
The war broke out instantly without any delay.
When the corpse just woke up, it was still a little sluggish and not very bright, but now all these corpses have revived and have turned into beings with overwhelming demonic energy, and their strength and speed have been greatly improved.
Taoist Yan raised the ancient sword of Xiaoyun, Caiyi threw out the nine-tailed demonic body, and Master Qinglong roared with his dragon claws. At the same time, he opened his bow from left to right, repelling the surrounding demonic bodies.
No matter how powerful the enemy is, it will be difficult to get within ten feet.
However, these demonic bodies seemed to be invulnerable to beating and killing. They would reorganize themselves after being broken up. In this moment, several people broke them into pieces countless times, but they still charged forward again. And their siege power is also extremely strong, and even a few people cannot ignore it.
Chu Liang swept the formation from behind and helped from time to time, but the times were less and it seemed that he was a bit fishy. Of course, even if he tried his best, he would definitely not be able to compare with the three big guys.
After repeating this for a while, Master Qinglong suddenly raised the dragon's tail and swept away the large group of demonic bodies, and then said loudly: "Something's wrong! I know what's going on."
He pointed to the tower behind him and said: "This must be a relic tower used by ancient Buddhism to suppress evil spirits. Inside are the relics condensed by the cultivation of powerful monks after their death. This is used to form an array to suppress evil spirits. These nine days The practitioners of the tenth place must have taken away the relics here without knowing why after entering!"
"In this way, the ancient evil demon loses its suppression and its power is released. Kill all these people here!"
After all, Venerable Qinglong is older and has extensive knowledge, and his guesses are accurate.
When it was in the upper realm, it was a stupa used by a temple to suppress monsters. Its power was still there after it fell to the lower realm. But when the team from nine days and ten places arrived, those people saw that the relics on the wall were spiritually rich and still had the appearance of a treasure after such a long time, so they immediately rushed to pick them off.
But before they could leave, they were killed here, and only a few people risked their lives to escape.
"If you say so, then what is suppressed here is not an ancient evil demon, but a heavenly demon that fell from the upper world!" Taoist Yan frowned, "Do you want me to summon the Shenzhou?"
"No need for now." Caiyi raised her hand and said, "The demon has left, we just need to rush out. Summoning the artifact into Thousand Towers Valley will make too much noise, and it may cause unnecessary trouble."
After saying that, she suddenly turned around and her entire demon body manifested, becoming a nine-tailed demon fox dozens of feet tall!
Just now we didn't know the situation, and several people didn't use their full strength. Now that the situation of several people is clear, let's let go! The demonic body swept across, even though he was least good at hand-to-hand combat, he was still extremely powerful.
Seeing this, Venerable Qinglong also turned around, with the dragon body lying across it. To deal with these mindless melee demonic bodies, the huge original form was the best way to use it.
There was a crushing rumble, and large pieces of the demonic body were shattered. But the demon relic shined again and wanted to reshape it.
Taoist Yan immediately took action and slashed out with a mighty sword!
laugh--
This sword chopped open three demonic relics, and in an instant the light faded and they fell to the ground.
The three powerful men used two melee attacks and one long-range follow-up attack. After a while, they completely wiped out all the demonic bodies in the room.
This is also due to the fact that they are all top experts in the eighth realm. Anyone who is weaker cannot defeat these demonic bodies so easily.
call--
When the dust settled, Taoist Yan Jianxin looked around, and then said: "There should be no danger here."
"There is no danger anymore, but..." Chu Liang looked at the broken bones and powder in front of him with heartache, "The corpses of the seniors have also been destroyed."
As for the storage artifacts, they are nowhere to be found.
Unless he patiently searches here for a whole day, he might be able to find the lost items from the cracks in the universe.
"We can't worry about so much at this time." Lord Qinglong returned to his human form and said, "Let's go. These are just minions. There must be dangers ahead."
"That demon is still here?" Chu Liang asked solemnly.
"It's very possible." Venerable Qinglong nodded and said: "If he has left, the demonic energy here will gradually weaken, and these soaked relics and demonic bodies cannot be so strong. If I am not wrong, he still put I use this place as my nest and only leave it occasionally.”
"I want to see how powerful this demon from the upper realm is." Taoist Yan took the lead and strode out of the courtyard.
She naturally knows that the monster needs to be sealed and suppressed in the upper world, so it is naturally extremely powerful, but with the Shushan Divine Boat in hand, her confidence is also well-founded.
Unless they were in the ninth realm, she would have the confidence to fight anyone.
"Be careful." Caiyi reminded, "It seems that this demon is very good at turning people into demons. We must remember not to scatter, otherwise we may become his puppets."
Chu Liang said: "We are almost at the center of Thousand Towers Valley ahead. This place is vast, so we may not be so unlucky to encounter it."
…
"How about we split up and leave, I can't stand it anymore."
A gust of wind blew by, and Taoist Cangqiu and Taoist Cangyun were both lying under a strange tree in the mist, looking extremely miserable.
Taoist Cangqiu's arm was broken and fell limply. The left half of his body collapsed. There was a bloody hole in his abdomen as big as a fist. Through it, he could see the roots of the tree behind him. His clothes were stained with blood, and half of his head was sunk in.
The appearance of Taoist Cangyun's face is slightly better, but his lower body is almost gone, his legs have completely disappeared, and he doesn't know what to support his body on the ground, standing upright.
It looks good from the front, but from the back, you can see that his back is filled with bronze arrows, and the light shines brightly.
Both of them are at the eighth level. If they are injured normally, their bodies can be reunited in just one breath. But the person who caused their injuries was equally terrifying, so there were waves of spiritual power preventing the wounds from being repaired and depriving them of their lives.
If the injury cannot be healed in time, even the life span of the eighth realm, which is as big as a river, cannot withstand such a trickle loss.
This is also the reason why Taoist Cangqiu wants to give up.
The reason why they fell into this situation was precisely because Cangyun was superstitious about Caiyi's method of passing the test, and tried to break the situation in the same way in Tianwuzong.
As a result, they were chased by a group of tough men from Tianwuzong who wanted to take away their bodies, and they were chased for several miles. Fortunately, the souls of those macho men could not leave the Tianwu Sect, so they managed to escape.
"You have forgotten that you insisted on taking back the secret treasure of the Immortal Tower at the beginning." Cangyun Taoist said weakly: "Now you are giving up."
"At first, I believed your lies. I really thought we could follow them and reap the benefits." Taoist Cang Qiu glared at Cangyun, "What's the result?"
"Why are you staring at me?" Taoist Cangyun raised his eyebrows, "Can you blame me? It's obviously the same way. The vixen can get through, but we can't? Isn't this being targeted?!"
"I don't care if you are targeted or not, I want to leave here anyway." Taoist Cangqiu yelled.
"Okay, okay!" Taoist Cangyun said angrily: "It's impossible for me to break in like this, so just leave!"
"Leave?" A strange snicker suddenly came from behind, "Why are you leaving? Isn't it good to stay here?"
"Huh?" They both turned around in horror.
Although the illusions and dead souls here are powerful, they cannot leave the area where they died, and they still belong to the category of earth-bound spirits.
But their area is considered a no-no-no zone on the Qianlou Valley map, so no dead souls should come!
When were there dead souls who could leave at will, or did Chu Liang and the others discover the two of them?
No matter which possibility it is, it is very scary for them now!
When they turned around, they saw a terrifying shadow, the surging demonic energy was like the sea, accompanied by deep laughter.
"Enter my devil mother's arms and taste the sorrow of the world."
"White bone relics, skeleton walker."
"Not as good as a mortal body, come with me, come with me..."
good evening.
Yesterday I was too tired and went to bed too late. I woke up very late today. I felt like I hadn’t recovered all day, so I coded a bit with difficulty.
I'm still too weak to go out easily, and it takes me a long time to recover from being tired for a few days.
