As Xiao Yefeng looked around, he realized that Wu Kui had vanished, and there was no trace of the Spirit Platform. Most importantly, the Black Gold Spirit Banner, which Xiao Yefeng had never taken out from the Tricolor Jade Ring, had also disappeared. In that moment, there was no news of Zitong or Wu Kui.
"Could it be that Wu Kui was really deceiving me? Otherwise, why would he risk his life to save me multiple times in the passage? But what is this jade slip?" With a flick of his wrist, the jade slip obtained from the passage appeared in Xiao Yefeng's hand. At that instant, a red light enveloped him, and suddenly, the jade slip that had been impossible to open with spiritual power activated.
Demon Suppression Tower! The three large characters appeared on the jade slip, followed by rows of pictographic writing that Xiao Yefeng could barely understand but could still grasp the general meaning.
This was actually a task-oriented relic, and the mission involved the Demon Suppression Tower before him. The jade slip recorded that this place was where a certain sect suppressed demons. Whoever obtained the jade slip was required to help this sect eliminate the demons here. If successful, there would be rewards. However, there were only two outcomes: either successfully suppressing the demons within the tower or failing to do so, allowing the demons to escape from the Demon Tower!
Xiao Yefeng found this absurd. According to the incomplete information he had gathered, it was clear that the demons being suppressed here were beyond what any sect could handle. If Xiao Yefeng's guess was correct, this relic should have been left behind by those immortal beings who could easily slay otherworldly beasts on Earth. How could Earthlings possibly resolve such issues?
Although Xiao Yefeng wanted to curse, he realized there was no choice now. To leave, he either had to successfully suppress the demons or let them escape; there was no third option. At this moment, he felt something strange in his heart. While he sensed that something was wrong, he couldn't pinpoint what it was. However, he was certain that something targeting Earth seemed imminent.
Just as Xiao Yefeng put away the jade slip and stepped into the Demon Tower, beams of golden and blue light surged from two other directions, indicating that two more jade slips had also been activated!
Compared to Xiao Yefeng, who carefully read all the information, these two groups were much simpler. They quickly stowed their jade slips and hurried toward the Demon Tower. After all, when they woke up, they were already tens of thousands of meters away from it. If it weren't for prior information provided by an organization, they wouldn't have sensed the presence of the Demon Tower at all.
This highlighted the disparity among the three parties: Xiao Yefeng had three treasures protecting him from Spirit attacks, allowing him to awaken right next to the Demon Suppression Tower. In contrast, those two groups were struck by Spirit energy and thus awakened later and farther away. Consequently, those who entered the Demon Tower first gained a significant advantage.
At the moment Xiao Yefeng entered, a flash of light enveloped the entire Demon Tower. A red glow appeared at its peak as red gemstones shone brightly among blue and gold ones.
Simultaneously, both of the other jade slips flashed with light. Abe Luoyu paused for a moment before urging everyone to move forward quickly since they still hadn't seen what the Demon Suppression Tower looked like; they could only see a red beam shooting upward.
In contrast, the last group consisted of only four individuals. The leader wore a cloak with a headscarf and face mask that concealed him completely. The other three were similarly covered: one was a Bald Giant; another had a frail figure with a sinister demeanor; and the last wore a loose outer garment that seemed to be lined with armor, giving him a robust appearance despite his face being obscured by a thick black veil beneath his wide-brimmed hat.
"Hey! Who is that from the Red Channel? So fast! Could it be those people from Wa Country?" The person wearing a mask glanced curiously at the jade slip in his hand.
"It should be those from Wa Country. They are quite confident about retrieving the Demon Tower Master! Plus, they have information regarding the Demon Tower inheritance!" The last person, wearing a straw hat, replied. If it weren't for the unusual aura, others would surely think he was the Perfect World Master, as his stature, presence, and voice were strikingly similar.
"Whoever it is, no one can obstruct our mission today. The demon cores within the Demon Tower belong to us from Perfect World!" The other two exchanged glances before speaking. However, it was clear that they held great respect for the masked leader, and their words were laced with flattery.
The Masked Man glanced at the two beside him and said, "Alright, no need to pledge loyalty. If we fail this mission, even the four of us won't escape punishment." He then turned and walked towards the nearby Demon Tower.
The three followed closely behind, but the man with a cold expression looked at the Masked Man with resentment. The bald man shook his head after glancing at him, seemingly having made up his mind, before catching up with the leader's pace.
Meanwhile, inside the Demon Tower, Xiao Yefeng chose the entrance to the east. Upon entering, he found himself in a lush forest. A corner of the Bagua Mirror, representing the Genius Position, flickered with light, instantly granting Xiao Yefeng an insight. Feeling the power associated with the Genius Position, Xiao Yefeng looked around in confusion. It was a joke that before entering, this Demon Tower was only ten zhang wide and had just one side of an Apricot Yellow Flag.
Now that he had entered, not only had the area changed drastically, but even the Apricot Yellow Flag had vanished. If there were no issues here regarding the environment, Xiao Yefeng himself wouldn't believe it. However, what puzzled him was the issue with the Bagua Mirror. If this place's environment was real, then everything else must be an illusion; this lush forest wouldn't provide power for the Genius Position. Yet at this moment, it was clear that the Bagua Mirror had absorbed energy from this place. Did that mean it truly existed?
Withdrawing his Yin-Yang Sword, he held it protectively against his chest while carrying its sheath on his back. This was currently Xiao Yefeng's strongest form of protection. It was no joke; the talismans on this sheath exceeded his imagination. Any attack approaching him would struggle to breach even just its defensive capabilities. Of course, carrying the sheath served two purposes: safety and freeing up his left hand to perform talisman seals.
Following the shade of trees forward, Xiao Yefeng walked at least four or five li but remained within the forest. Moreover, none of the scenery repeated itself, proving that he had not retraced his steps.
During this time, the four-person team from Perfect World entered the Demon Tower first and infused it with golden light of inspiration. Feeling stimulated by both colors of inspiration, An Bei Luo Yu finally led everyone into the tower and infused it with a final blue glow. As all three colors illuminated the gem atop the tower, a brilliant flash enveloped it before settling in place as the tower began to rise continuously until it reached its spatial limits.
A sound emerged from atop the Demon Tower, neither dragon nor tiger but resembling a beast or birds' call. It echoed throughout this space and even beyond Earth itself, triggering a series of reverberating sound waves that caused communications across nations to collapse instantly.
This beastly roar revived many hidden existences. In what was known as humanity's forbidden zone atop the world's highest peak, a block of ice cracked open as a delicate white hand emerged. After calculating with her fingers, she sighed deeply: "What is meant to come has finally arrived! Whether Earth exists or perishes—whether it is freedom or imprisonment—depends solely on this generation's efforts by the Guardian! Wind, brother, all I can do to help you is this!"
“Old Bai! Time's up, your mission is over. Return within three days, otherwise, you will bear the consequences!” A voice devoid of emotion echoed from the space behind the hand.
“Understood! I will return on time!” The man's voice fell, and feeling the force behind him dissipate, he snapped his fingers. A beam of Inspiration shot into the distance, and the man's voice came again: “Take care of yourself! If there’s a chance, I will come to hand over the mission!”
As his hand vanished, the peak returned to its usual state without anything appearing. Along with this roar, countless figures emerged from their bases. These individuals did not speak; there was only silence. The shackles around their necks suddenly unlocked, and the cages that had confined them crumbled like tofu under their claws. Outside the cages were dozens of people bound hand and foot.
These individuals burst out of their cages like madmen, rushing towards those who had just been freed. Claws and fangs tore into flesh, instantly turning this place into a hell on earth. Most crucially, above these bases was a transparent glass cage containing over twenty men, women, and children who were witnessing everything in terror and horror. Following this, the bloodthirsty figures charged towards the now-open passage to the outside world. A small gap appeared at the top of the exit, seemingly intentionally left open for these people to escape; however, at that moment, these ordinary individuals were too frightened to realize it.
Yet similar issues arose worldwide; various countries faced this problem. Naturally, Xiao Yefeng was unaware of this because he was currently surrounded by a group of creatures resembling a mix between cats and tigers, with a hint of lizard-like features beneath a giant tree.
Before Xiao Yefeng stood a structure that should not exist here: a semi-circular light gate. Clearly, this was the way out. However, with a beastly roar, these wild creatures appeared from nowhere and blocked Xiao Yefeng's path, leaving him less than a hundred meters from the light gate.
The claws of these beasts were as tough as V-Alloy. Fortunately, the Yin-Yang Sword was no toy; as the blade flashed towards him, it pierced into the throat of one beast that had ambushed him, blood spraying forth instantly. However, the death of this creature did not instill fear in its companions; instead, it ignited their primal instincts. In an instant, Xiao Yefeng found himself facing attacks from over ten such beasts. The reason for “over ten” was that his body could only withstand attacks from those directly in front or beside him; any other beasts attempting to attack were blocked by their own kind.
If it weren't for the Mountain Guardian brought by the Geng Character Technique providing protection, Xiao Yefeng would have been unable to withstand this initial wave of explosive attacks. It was hard to imagine that just these bizarre beasts could shred apart Xiao Yefeng’s protective Inspiration; they were far stronger than tigers or lions on Earth.
