Chapter 208

“Ka cha…”

An invisible grinding sound echoed from the ground, followed by waves of Yin wind blowing upwards from below.

Everything in reality remained unchanged, but if Yin walking was opened, one could see that a floor tile inside the tower door was indented, revealing a black and dark staircase leading downwards.

The faceless person saw the situation and floated to this spot. He couldn’t believe what the ground was showing:

“I’ve been imprisoned here for so many years, and I never discovered there were stairs going down here.”

Li Zhuiyuan: “Do you want to go down together?”

The faceless person shook his head. His faceless face, at this moment, seemed to express many complex emotions, but ultimately, he only let out a sigh:

“All I want now is to ascend and become immortal.”

“Okay.”

Li Zhuiyuan turned his body and took a step forward. His left foot landed on the threshold of the tower door, and his right foot followed, stabilizing him.

The threshold was very high and very thick, and standing on it felt very stable.

At this moment, if a straight line upwards was drawn on the threshold, then half of the teenager’s body was outside the tower and half was inside.

“Drip drop… Drip drop… Drip drop…”

Black rainwater began to drip.

Everyone looked up. The “sky” above, which was originally like emerald blue, had turned black at some point. This black was becoming deeper and also descending further.

As it appeared, the black shadows within the surrounding emerald color began to fall into a frenzy one by one.

The singing and dancing girls on the white imperial road turned into life-taking ghosts, floating collectively towards the platform where the tall tower was located.

The corpses in the kneeling pits on both sides of the tall tower no longer maintained their original respectful kowtowing posture. They straightened their backs one by one and began to climb upwards.

The kneeling pits were very high, and the walls were smooth slopes, but the corpses behind stepped on the corpses in front, as if building a ladder of corpses.

Soon, some corpses climbed up howling.

Their faces were either iron-blue or deep black, and a thick resentment emanated from their entire bodies. Blood tears dripped from their eye sockets.

Lin Shuyou said doubtfully: “Why is the resentment on their bodies thicker than the kind we saw before?”

Tan Wenbin: “Don’t you see that they are all wearing silk brocade and satin? Those who are qualified to be buried in these kneeling pits may all be high-ranking officials and nobles who made sacrifices here many years ago.

They didn’t live their human lives of fine clothes and good food, but committed suicide here to wait for ascension to immortality. If they ultimately failed to ascend and felt deceived, their resentment would naturally be greater.

After all, how precious were their lives?”

Zhao Yi looked up at the black clouds above, and the seams of the life and death door were constantly wriggling.

He could feel that there seemed to be a strong will swimming inside.

The scholar, manipulated by Li Zhuiyuan, had already turned his body outwards and was looking up at the sky at this moment.

Zhao Yi’s gaze fell on Li Zhuiyuan, who was standing on the threshold, again, and he couldn’t help but say: “Damn!”

Then, he slapped his own mouth twice and said self-mockingly:

“I deserve it!”

Tan Wenbin asked with concern: “How do you feel? You’ve been a little off emotionally since earlier?”

Zhao Yi: “You are the principal wife who doesn’t understand the concubine’s pain.”

Tan Wenbin reached out and patted Zhao Yi’s shoulder: “Don’t say that. You are at least our external captain. You can’t treat a temporary worker as a cadre.”

“Cough cough…” Zhao Yi suddenly coughed. As he coughed, blood flowed from his mouth, and blood also flowed from his chest.

Tan Wenbin took out a bandage from his bag: “Let me re-bandage you.”

Zhao Yi pushed away Tan Wenbin’s hand: “No need. Bandaging doesn’t ventilate, and bleeding can stimulate the spirit for a short time.”

Tan Wenbin: “You’re doing this on purpose? Tsk, with your current body condition, you could be sent directly to a medical college to be a body teacher.”

Zhao Yi showed a bitter smile on his face, and then shouted: “Everyone, retreat and guard the tower door.”

Everyone came to the front of the tower door where Li Zhuiyuan was located.

More and more corpses had already climbed out of the kneeling pits and were staggering towards the tall tower.

Runsheng sniffed and shook his head slightly.

Previously, these things were all delicacies in his eyes, but now, these kinds of guys were no longer enough to whet his appetite.

Yin Meng took out the demon exorcism whip and held it in her hand.

Tan Wenbin asked: “Is the poison all used up?”

Yin Meng: “Yes, since coming here, the stock has always been insufficient, and there hasn’t been time to restock.”

Yin Meng’s methods of extracting toxins were varied, basically all from nature. Normally in Nantong, she could go into the fields and rivers by herself and get many raw materials, then lock herself in a room and extract them little by little. Getting the materials was simple, it just took effort.

This time, after coming to Lijiang, the battle frequency was high, the poison consumption was large, and time was also tight. The last bit was thrown to the fake Runsheng just now, and now there was absolutely no stock left.

Tan Wenbin: “I remember the food you make also has toxicity, right?”

Yin Meng really wanted to refute Tan Wenbin’s sentence, but couldn’t, so she only said: “But that toxicity is not strong enough, it’s not as effective as the toxin after extraction.”

“There’s no other way, just make do with what you have.” Tan Wenbin turned to shout at his other partners, “Everyone take out all the food, drinks, and various seasonings in your bags and hand them over to Mengmeng.”

Yin Meng: “This…”

Tan Wenbin squatted down, set up a small pot, and lit the alcohol stove: “You start cooking the rice first.”

Yin Meng nodded, also squatted down, opened a pack of compressed biscuits, threw them into the pot, mashed them with a small shovel, and then started adding vinegar.

Zhao Yi: “Everyone remember, next, we have to guard here and can’t let these guys rush the tower door.”

Everyone: “Understood!”

“Meow!”

Yu Miaomiao didn’t follow to the bottom of the tower. She was in the outer ring and was the first to come into contact with those corpses. She only saw Yu Miaomiao wave her claws a few times, and the corpses were instantly cut into segments one by one.

Alas, the number of these corpses was really too many.

Yu Miaomiao occasionally looked towards the corpses constantly climbing out of the kneeling pits, and occasionally glanced at the crowd at the bottom of the tower.

Zhao Yi waved to Yu Miaomiao and shouted enthusiastically: “Meow~~~”

Yu Miaomiao’s cat eyes glared up.

Zhao Yi said to the people beside him: “Later, if that cat can’t hold on and moves towards us, we can help her as much as possible while ensuring our own safety.”

He paused and added: “She cannot die.”

Although the big guys didn’t understand why, they all nodded.

Because Xiao Yuan-ge, who was standing on the threshold, had already closed his eyes at this moment.

Except for Runsheng, everyone else could Yin walk, so they could naturally feel that Xiao Yuan-ge had already opened Yin walking.

Runsheng didn’t Yin walk, but he sensed that Xiao Yuan was not here for the first time.

The number of corpses on the platform was still constantly increasing, and the dark clouds above were also getting thicker and thicker. The oppressive feeling was like a tide, hitting one wave after another.

…

Li Zhuiyuan opened Yin walking and stepped out, walking down the stairs.

The stairs were very deep, and it was also very cold inside.

Logically, there is no perception of hot or cold in the Yin walking state. The cold feeling in his eyes now meant that there was a certain suppressing prohibition in this place.

Finally, Li Zhuiyuan reached the bottom.

The layout here was very similar to the other levels above the tower, but everything here had been soaked in corpse qi for a long time, as if covered with a thick layer of black wax.

The first thing that entered Li Zhuiyuan’s line of sight was rows of stone carvings, including carriages, horses, soldiers, and palace maids, like a complete ceremonial guard team.

This kind of burial goods had been excavated in many large tombs and were not rare.

After passing through them, two rooms appeared on both sides of Li Zhuiyuan, filled with coffins.

In front of him, a purple chain hung down from above, all converging on a huge black stone seat in front.

A person sat on the stone seat. This person was large and fit the stone seat very well. He wore a black robe and emitted a majestic and noble aura.

It was him, the black-robed person who had once entered A Li’s dream.

The black-robed person slowly lifted his head. This time, his face was presented in front of Li Zhuiyuan.

This was a face with clear angles, and from lips to eyebrows, ruthlessness could be seen everywhere.

The faceless person originally looked like this.

In front of the stone seat was a stone table with a chessboard on it.

The chessboard showed obvious signs of use, and the chess pieces were almost transparent, obviously having been used for a long time and polished by corpse qi.

“Pa!”

A piece fell.

Li Zhuiyuan walked to the stone table. The game being played on it should be a game between himself and his opponent.

From the appearance of the chess game, White already had the advantage, and Black was heavily suppressed, but Black still contained many possibilities for counter-control and reversal. It could even be said that as long as this game continued normally, Black’s win was almost inevitable.

The piece that fell just now was Black.

This meant that Li Zhuiyuan was to play White.

Li Zhuiyuan stretched out his hand, picked up a chess piece, and placed it without hesitation.

The black-robed person opened his mouth and said: “You won’t win.”

Li Zhuiyuan: “It doesn’t matter. On the chessboard, I’m used to losing.”

The game he played most often with A Li was Go. A Li’s chess skills were profound, and Li Zhuiyuan had never deeply studied chess, so he simply couldn’t win.

Black-robed person: “The table is mine, the chessboard is mine, the chess pieces are also mine. What are you going to win with?”

Li Zhuiyuan: “Just turn it over.”

Black-robed person: “Really like him, even the tone of speech is similar. Even if you have no blood relation to the Liu family, you are more like someone surnamed Liu than those with the surname Liu.”

Li Zhuiyuan: “It just so happens that we both forced you into a similar situation.”

Black-robed person: “I said you won’t win.”

Li Zhuiyuan: “If you’re really that confident, why open the stairs down and call me here?”

“Mainly, I want to see you.”

“I’ve already seen you.”

“That’s not me, he’s just an obsession I cut off after coming here, without even a face.”

“But I feel that’s the real you.”

“Is it?”

“Now you even have a face, but when you look in the mirror, can you truly recognize who you are?”

The black-robed person continued to place pieces.

…

Outside the tower door, those corpses had already pressed over.

Runsheng held the Yellow River shovel in his hand. With one shovel down, he didn’t smash or throw them flying, but with the power of one person, he cleared out an open space for the entire team.

Lin Shuyou used the trident to deal with the small fry that leaked over from Runsheng’s side.

Zhao Yi was still arranging the defensive formation and had not made a move.

Tan Wenbin stood beside Zhao Yi and observed the situation.

Although they were in contact now, the pressure was not too great. Relying on Runsheng and Lin Shuyou, they were sufficient to build a defensive line.

Yin Meng was seriously cooking the rice.

…

Black-robed person: “Having entered a treasure mountain, how can you be willing to return empty-handed?”

Li Zhuiyuan: “Because I see it’s a trap, why would I continue to jump in?”

Black-robed person: “Do you really not believe in becoming immortal at all?”

Li Zhuiyuan: “Don’t believe. Don’t you believe either?”

“If I didn’t believe, why would I lock myself here?”

“You believe, but not the kind of becoming immortal that they think.”

“Look, you know everything.”

“Yes, I guessed it.”

“This is the reason why I invited you down.” The black-robed person lifted his hand and pointed towards the two side rooms, “Those are all my clansmen. I will bring them with me to become immortal.

Now, I also issue you an invitation. Are you willing to ascend with me?”

…

The singing and dancing girls turned into ghosts and floated over. Their songs were like cries, stirring the heartstrings, and their dance movements were weird, hiding among the corpses and rushing out from time to time.

Runsheng’s Qi Gate was constantly opening wider, blocking the corpses in front.

Under Zhao Yi’s instructions, Lin Shuyou began to divine, and the child descended again.

This time, the vertical pupil was no longer so sharp, and the momentum under the divination state was also very sluggish.

There was no pretense or performance involved, because the child could perceive that the teenager was “not here.”

He was truly tired.

This time, the teenager was truly ordered around like a dog from beginning to end.

But the more it came to this point, the more he needed to grit his teeth and push through.

Anyway, all the lost divine power could be compensated in the merits shared after this battle, and there would definitely be a surplus.

As for leaving a good impression in the teenager’s heart, that was even more priceless.

The child held the trident in both hands and walked three steps before striking. He constantly moved in and out beside Runsheng, continuously chopping and killing the illusionary ghosts of the dancers.

It wasn’t difficult, but the number was truly frighteningly large, and there were still reinforcements constantly joining from afar.

And… this overhead.

The child didn’t forget to look up with his vertical pupil and glance at the black dark clouds overhead during the fight.

“What strong corpse qi!”

Zhao Yi heard the child’s evaluation of the dark clouds overhead, and then looked at the scholar who was standing there and always looking up at the sky. Could the one surnamed Li who left block that one?

Let’s just do our own thing well.

Zhao Yi glanced at Yu Miaomiao, who was slaughtering in the corpse tide, again, and said:

“Tan Wenbin, it’s your turn.”

Tan Wenbin began to summon his godson. Two resentful infants floated out onto Tan Wenbin’s shoulders.

This time, when the two kids appeared, they didn’t face forward, but sat with their backs turned, one making a face at Zhao Yi, and the other raising a fist at Zhao Yi.

After doing this, the two kids then turned their bodies towards the front.

Before doing anything proper, they had to express their resentment first, this hateful three-eyed guy!

Their small hands moved, and they began to sing nursery rhymes.

The two resentful infants, who had eaten both merit and mural resentment with Tan Wenbin, had already grown plump and white. In addition, Tan Wenbin would also give them prenatal education.

The nursery rhymes they sang were truly eerie, not only making people shiver, but also making ghosts numb and timid.

The singing of those singing girls was immediately covered by the nursery rhymes.

Zhao Yi held a formation flag in his hand. He had to wait until the people in front couldn’t hold on before activating the formation to block them and buy some time for everyone to catch their breath.

Yin Meng was still seriously cooking the rice.

Zhao Yi lowered his head and glanced. He discovered that in the pot, green bubbles were already bubbling.

Even he, such a smart person, couldn’t understand how adding some seasonings from everyone’s backpacks could cook into this form.

…

Facing the black-robed person’s invitation to ascend, Li Zhuiyuan shook his head:

“I’m walking the river, I don’t have time to ascend with you.”

Black-robed person: “What’s the point of walking the river? Even if you finally become the Dragon King, what’s so great about it? It’s nothing more than suppressing one generation, and finally still being replaced by a new generation, still having birth, old age, sickness, and death?”

“It’s also quite good to be able to complete a life of birth, old age, sickness, and death.” Li Zhuiyuan pointed at the black-robed person’s hand. Within those five long black nails, a thick corpse qi was hidden, “I have no interest in living the way you do.”

The black-robed person had once entered A Li’s dream and invited the teenager to attend a banquet to witness his entire clan’s ascension.

He did indeed keep his promise.

But his ascension was different from the ascension that ordinary people understood.

Ordinary people, those people above, inside the tall tower, inside the emerald color, inside the kneeling pits…

In their eyes, ascending to immortality meant leaving their mortal bodies, jumping out of birth, old age, sickness, and death, and going to the heavenly palace, where they would have a more beautiful life, carefree, unrestrained, and indulged in pleasure.

What they pursued was a kind of mythical story.

While the black-robed person wanted to ascend, it wasn’t about leaving the human world, but creating a heavenly kingdom on earth that belonged to himself here. In this kingdom, he was an immortal.

The fortunes on the big bell were reserved for himself.

He would divide himself. The faceless person at the top of the tower inherited his obsession with traditional ascension to immortality, his obsession with the Liu family, and his obsession with winning and losing.

To put it plainly, the faceless person was just his public persona, used to maintain the operation of the rules and ensure that the fruit could mature stably. He was a conscientious gardener.

His own body was locked at the bottom of the tower, hidden in the deepest and closest place of the rules.

Yu Cangsheng, Xu Zhenzong, and Zhen Shaonan were the chess pieces he arranged behind the scenes.

In fact, their purpose was the same, all of them not aiming for the traditional ascension to immortality, but wanting to pick that offering fruit.

Therefore, Yu Cangsheng and the other three were doomed to fail.

Even if they finally reached the top of the tower and started scraping that big bell, not a single bit of the fortune on that big bell would fall to them, but would all be snatched by the black-robed person, who had the advantage of being closer to the water.

This great opportunity would ultimately all fall on the black-robed person and the clansmen buried here.

Before when he was at the top of the tower, if Li Zhuiyuan had been greedy or listened to the faceless person’s suggestion to touch the “offering” on that big bell, it would have been the same, purely for the black-robed person’s benefit.

It was precisely because Li Zhuiyuan did nothing at the top of the tower and was always dawdling that the black-robed person at the bottom of the tower couldn’t wait, and did not hesitate to intervene and change the pattern, allowing Xu Zhenzong and Zhen Shaonan to have their home field advantage amplified here.

Because he couldn’t wait, the rules here were being destroyed, like a big tree, decaying and dying. When the big tree fell, that mature fruit would also be crushed.

This place was built by the black-robed person’s ancestor. He relied on his descendant identity, hid here, and planned. He had already reached his limit by doing this, because even he had to be constrained by these rules.

The thick, hard purple chains on his body were the best proof.

His body was at the bottom of the tower, and the profound gate’s dead corpse qi from above soaked down and was all absorbed by him, turning him into a strong and terrifying zombie step by step.

He locked himself up, just afraid that he would lose control and riot someday, going against the rules.

Looking at the cracks on the chains and the scratches and pits on the surrounding walls, it was obvious that such things had happened many times in the past.

Li Zhuiyuan pointed to his upper half face and asked: “Did you guess that he would give you your ancestor’s face?”

Black-robed person: “He is not under my control, he is another me.

I gave him the skin of my ancestor’s face with the original intention of helping it stabilize the rules here. I didn’t expect that he would give you the remaining half of the ancestor’s face skin.

And you are not my clansman, yet you can still wear it and even summon helpers.”

The ancestor’s face skin was a rule stabilizer.

The black-robed person’s arrangement here, forcibly opening a basement, was an obvious destruction of the rules. He could only rely on this face skin to compensate and stabilize.

Of course, he knew that another him could do some things with this ancestor’s face skin, but he was indifferent.

The fact was indeed so. Even if the faceless person invited the old Taoist priest, he was ultimately defeated by the combined efforts of Yu Cangsheng and the other three. This was still under the premise that the black-robed person did not intervene to favor anyone.

The quality of those three chess pieces was indeed strong. Normally speaking, Yu Cangsheng and the other three could definitely succeed.

Who knew that first Yu Miaomiao would rebel and strike, and then Li Zhuiyuan would use the remaining half of the face skin to invite the scholar, defeating all three of them.

Black-robed person: “Although this place was built by my ancestor, I don’t believe it can succeed. And this kind of excessive behavior is also not allowed by the Heavenly Way and will inevitably descend endless variables to stop it.”

Li Zhuiyuan placed a piece and nodded: “You do think very thoroughly.”

Determining that he could not ascend successfully and would inevitably be destroyed by variables, the black-robed person simply sought a second option from the beginning.

Yu Cangsheng and the other three were different.

Including Li Zhuiyuan, who received the message about this incident from the very beginning, everyone thought the purpose of their trip was to stop the so-called ascension in this place.

This was actually a prediction of the Heavenly Way’s actions.

Waiting for the Heavenly Way to act, at the last key moment, to lead the cause and effect, interrupting the ascension.

Then this group of people, who had already ambushed here early, would open their mouths and receive the fruit.

This was allowing the Heavenly Way to help them.

Black-robed person: “I know you are walking the river, but this time, you can just muddle through and destroy the ascension ceremony above. In fact, you can see through it but don’t say it.

How about this, I can promise to divide you two percent.”

“Hehe.”

“Two percent is my limit. I’m not planning to bargain. You should be content.”

Li Zhuiyuan: “Originally, you invited me down to meet and play chess to offer me conditions?”

Black-robed person: “Otherwise what? You yourself didn’t take it, and you blocked Zhen Shaonan and the others from taking it, not just because you know that with me here, you can’t take it?”

Li Zhuiyuan: “After taking it, that bell will be destroyed, and the rules will completely collapse. I think the signs of madness are already appearing outside. Once it completely erupts, it will be a disaster.

I don’t want such a thing to happen, especially when I feel I seem to have the ability to stop it.”

The black-robed person slowly lifted his head and straightened his body slightly: “Are these your true feelings?”

“Yes.”

“You are a smart person. You shouldn’t do this kind of thankless thing. I have also walked the river, and I know how much merit one wave can have. It’s far, far less than two percent here.

As long as my goal is achieved, my entire clan will ascend successfully.

That is, the flowing Dragon King, the ironclad us.

This,

isn’t it enough to move your heart?”

The black-robed person’s “entire clan ascends” was to borrow the thick fortune on this tall tower to irrigate,

to build this place into another Fengdu,

to turn himself into another Yin Changsheng, another Fengdu Great Emperor!

This was his desire and his ambition.

Because there was a genuine example, it wasn’t wishful thinking.

Combined with the fact that this was one of the nine great secret realms, Fengdu was also a secret realm.

Li Zhuiyuan felt that

the black-robed person was truly possible to succeed.

In the eyes of secular people, wasn’t the Fengdu Great Emperor also a genuine immortal god?

The black-robed person kept gazing at Li Zhuiyuan’s state, seeing him deep in thought, thinking he was already moved, and then said:

“Not only will I give you two percent, I will also open a great door of convenience for you, allowing you to establish a dojo in my heavenly kingdom. At that time, both you and I can become immortal-like figures in the human world.”

“I said, I am walking the river.”

“It’s simple. After this wave passes, you can just light the lamp and admit defeat for the second time.”

…

Runsheng was already panting. Even the collective breathing of the Qi Gate could no longer stop his fatigue from intensifying.

White Crane child could only grip that real trident, with the technique law condensing the one he no longer had the power to maintain.

On Tan Wenbin’s shoulders, the two kids were still singing their nursery rhymes energetically, but Tan Wenbin’s body was already emitting cold qi, as if he had just climbed out of a freezer.

Zhao Yi felt it was almost time to activate the formation.

Not because the three people in front needed to rest quickly, but because the smell of the rice Yin Meng was cooking had already permeated the air. Even if he held his breath, this smell seemed to be able to drill into his body, making his heart ache.

“Yin Meng, you can sprinkle it!”

Yin Meng wiped the sweat from her forehead, stood up, and whipped out the leather whip. The leather whip wrapped around the pot and lifted it into the air in front. Then the leather whip retracted. When the pot fell from the air, she fiercely swung her arm again and hit the pot with the leather whip.

“Bang!”

The colorful paste exploded in the air, scattering a large area.

All the corpses stained with this paste stopped advancing, raised their hands high, and began to wail.

Yin Meng was right. Without advanced extraction, the power was not that great. Except for a few minority who were drenched more and whose surfaces began to melt, most of the others just expressed discomfort and did not melt.

But wrong in wrong out, melting the corpses into bloody water at this time was not a good thing either, because there were even more corpses following behind.

Instead, this method of making the corpses “painful and not wanting to live” prevented the first few rows of corpses from continuing to advance, which was equivalent to temporarily setting up a circle of corpse guardrails to block the follow-up.

Zhao Yi turned the formation flag in his hand. In this situation, there was no need to rush to activate the formation.

But just at this moment, Zhao Yi discovered that the black cloud in the air overhead had begun to descend.

And that scholar was still standing there without moving.

Yin Meng: “Who else has food in their bag?”

…

The black-robed person placed another piece, and the trend of Black’s comeback had already appeared. White’s situation quickly deteriorated.

Li Zhuiyuan placed a piece casually this time, looking somewhat self-defeating.

Black-robed person: “Thought it through?”

Li Zhuiyuan: “Yes.”

Black-robed person: “You are truly fortunate. My ancestor arranged this place, and I have painstakingly waited here for so many years, and you, just by chance, can get a share from me.

Human fate is indeed different, it cannot be envied.

However, after us, our fate will be in our own hands, and we will no longer be subject to…”

Li Zhuiyuan: “I disagree.”

The black-robed person’s gaze turned cold and sinister.

The purple chains on his body began to shake violently, and a surge of corpse qi emanated from his body, extending upwards along the chains.

Black-robed person: “I gave you an opportunity.”

Li Zhuiyuan: “Sorry, I don’t value it much.”

Not to mention being under Yin Changsheng, even if he was given the opportunity to become Yin Changsheng, Li Zhuiyuan had no interest.

Wei Zhengdao was always busy with suicide matters later, obviously because he made some mistakes in the early stage.

With the lesson of the previous vehicle, Li Zhuiyuan might not want to get involved in this kind of thing.

This kind of temptation, no matter how beautifully packaged, after tearing open the packaging paper, the inside was already decaying and full of maggots.

Black-robed person: “Then I will add another promise. When I succeed, the first thing I will do is to personally suppress all the evil spirits here, so that they will not go out and rampage and destroy.”

“You won’t be able to.

I admit you are very strong now, but both you and I know exactly how many corpses and how much resentment are suppressed here. Once it all erupts, you fundamentally cannot suppress them.”

Black-robed person: “You are really stubborn.”

The purple chains were almost intertwined, and the corpse qi followed his intention, starting to draw away upwards.

Li Zhuiyuan glanced at the chess game in front of him that was about to be lost and said: “You see, you no longer have any chess pieces in your hand, you can only make a move yourself.”

The teenager understood what the black-robed person was doing. The black-robed person would place his body here and draw out his corpse qi and consciousness to go outside and prepare to rush the tower.

He decided to formally dirty his hands and scrape the fortune from that big bell himself.

Before, he was unwilling to do so for another reason, which was that the part he divided out would not be able to inherit this share of opportunity. Only the part that remained in the tower could bear it, which would undoubtedly cause huge losses.

Black-robed person: “I will let you personally witness my ascension. When I become immortal, the first thing I will do is to refine you here as a sacrifice, so that you can forever witness the glory I create!”

Li Zhuiyuan stretched out his finger and pointed upwards, saying:

“Actually, the only difference between you and those people in the tower above is that they live on a high floor and you live in the basement.”

Black-robed person: “You are the same as the initial one from the Liu family, speaking very harshly and unpleasantly. However, you are not the him of that year, and I am not the initial me. This time, it should be my turn to pity your end!”

Li Zhuiyuan looked at the black-robed person in front of him, then looked up at the purple chains again. At this time, the sending of corpse qi and consciousness at this stage was already complete.

“You have already sent out three percent to the outside, and before you only promised to give me two percent. You have no prospects, and you even deceive children.”

…

Outside the tower.

The black cloud finally descended, and the thick corpse qi turned into a ghost face, falling into the sea of corpses below.

All the corpses it touched first began to twist, then their flesh was stripped off and gathered towards the central area.

“Ga zhi… Ga zhi… Ga zhi…”

Soon, a huge ball of flesh was revealed.

It was still wriggling quickly, gradually differentiating into the prototype of a head and four limbs, and sounds also followed, echoing around:

“This is my path to ascension. Anyone who dares to block my way will suffer the immortal punishment I descend!”

Tan Wenbin: “A big one is coming.”

Lin Shuyou: “Such strong corpse qi.”

In the distance, Yu Miaomiao seemed to have been severely frightened. She immediately tore through the corpses in front of her and involuntarily approached the tower door, but her movements were very slow. If that ball of flesh wasn’t targeting her, she would just stay put. If it came towards her, she would immediately speed up and run towards the group of people in front of the tower door.

Zhao Yi looked at that scholar again. The one surnamed Li left through Yin walking, and in this state, so far away, could he still manipulate this body?

At this time, the scholar finally moved. He took out the wordless book hanging at his waist.

This time, although still manipulated by Li Zhuiyuan, the teenager planned to use the scholar’s own ability, which was to awaken his muscle memory, after all, it would be a hard clash.

The scholar started to run, directly knocking away all the corpses blocking his way, then leaped up, and fell towards that ball of flesh again, rolling the wordless book in his hand into a bundle, and heavily striking it!

“Bang!”

The ball of flesh was heavily struck and flew out.

The scholar stood in the middle of the corpse tide, his voice like a big bell:

“Zi does not speak of strange force chaos gods!”
