C608 Tower Master
C608 Tower Master
In the center of the room, on top of an altar that was only the size of a round table, there was a crystal with a faint glow. It looked like the tip of a tall tower.
The floor of the room was still covered in bone dust. At a glance, it was extremely shocking.
At this moment, three people stood silently in the room. They were Chiao, Fatty Lu, and Elder Luo. The arrogance on Chiao's face had disappeared, and Fatty Gao's laughing face had become serious. Only Liu Tie's expression remained unchanged.
"Elder Luo, is this the tenth floor of the Divine Tower?"
Along the way, although they were used to it, when they truly entered the tenth floor, both Chiao and Fatty Lu were still scared out of their wits. They never thought that the Divine Tower would have such a situation.
In fact, they had already faintly guessed that the gigantic pillar of light with a diameter of a hundred meters went straight through the tenth floor of the Divine Tower. Each floor had an altar, a bone sea, and mysterious runes.
"Elder Luo, didn't you say that you want to meet the Tower Lord of the Divine Tower?"
Seeing that Elder Luo did not answer him, Chiao asked in an unhappy tone, with a questioning tone.
"Please be patient, Young Master Qi."
Elder Luo did not pay any attention to it. He suddenly stretched out his hands and drew some obscure marks in the air. Finally, a strange mark was formed and with a sou sound, he inserted it into the crystal cone.
"Howl!"
"Howl!"
"Howl!"
"Howl!"
Accompanied by an extremely tragic baleful aura that seemed as if it would shatter the surrounding space, the room didn't move in the slightest, and only innumerable talismans were blasted away from the walls and flew wildly in all directions.
The sudden change caused Chiao's and Fatty Gao's pupils to constrict. They felt their scalps go numb and a layer of dense granules appeared on the surface of their skin. Their faces changed.
"Don't act rashly!"
Elder Luo's voice sounded. The two who wanted to retreat immediately stopped and looked up with serious expressions.
The four originally dark corners of the hall suddenly began to glow with a blazing white mist. Countless tadpole-like white inscriptions began to circle in the void, as eye-catching as fireflies in the night.
This time, both Chiao and Fatty saw it clearly. Their expressions were the same, both of them showing a look of disbelief.
In the four corners of the room, there was a cross shaped pillar of light. Each pillar was tied up by a person. Their upper bodies were exposed, and their hair fell to the ground like a blanket, covering up their original appearance.
Crash! *
Eight thick black iron chains connected the cross pillar behind them and wrapped around their bodies. Although they looked as thin as firewood, every time they struggled, the chains would emit a loud metallic sound.
"Howl!"
"Howl!"
"..."
Another four tragic howls were deafening. Although the room did not move at all, Chiao and Fatty Gao were forced to retreat and did not chase after them. They were all looking at the scene in shock.
Buzz buzz buzz buzz!
Four continuous buzzing sounds could be heard. The tadpole runes hovering above their heads were rotating rapidly as if they were alive. All of them landed on the light pillar behind them. At this moment, the four of them raised their heads and looked over.
These were simply four sinister faces with bell-like eyes that emitted a green light. They were filled with bloodlust and ruthlessness, and their devil-like faces were actually engraved with milky-white runes that resembled snakes and dragons. At a glance, it was truly terrifying.
Seeing the three of them, the four of them fiercely struggled against the iron chain and continuously roared. Waves after waves of extremely dense and bitter killing intent spread out like a gale with the four of them as the center.
This was not a massacre, nor was it a bloodbath. However, it was real, and it caused one's soul to tremble. Wherever the infernal energy passed, the ground would be covered in bone dust and many bones would shatter.
Finally, four streams of terrifying infernal energy gathered in the center. The crystal on the altar began to shine brightly, and in an instant, these four streams of infernal energy were sucked into the altar.
Seeing this scene, Chiao and Fatty couldn't help but take a few steps back, while their eyes flickered with uncertainty.
"Luo, Elder Luo, they are …"
"Divine Tower Tower Lord!"
Both of them were speechless. This was simply too unexpected.
"The four of you, I know that you have already regained your consciousness, why pretend again!" Elder Luo had his hands behind his back, his gaze swept past the four and said, "After so many years, have the four of you still not thought it through clearly?"
Hearing this, the chain suddenly moved and disappeared. The violent gazes of the four people gradually regained their clarity, but their gazes were still as sharp as knives as they quickly swept across the three people's bodies.
"Xiao Yunlong didn't come!"
A ferocious old man in the east corner suddenly asked. As he spoke, his voice was like a metallic clang. He stared at Elder Luo and suddenly let out a sinister laugh.
"Amazing, even Xiao Yunlong's puppy has reached such a level, hahahahaha!"
"Xiao Yunlong, oh Xiao Yunlong, are we not even qualified for you to take action now? "Haha." The other scrawny old man seemed to mock himself as he let out an angry laugh.
"Xiao Yunlong is getting more and more arrogant. He actually only sent three puppies over on such an important day, hahaha."
"Xiao Yunlong is really good at scheming, haha, really good at scheming. He trapped the four of us here for twenty years without coming out, messing up our wits and serving him for twenty years. Haha, good, we are truly worthy of being the Federation's number one expert."
The four fierce old men said something incomprehensible one after the other. There were many self-deprecating words contained within them, but most of them were filled with resentment towards Xiao Yunlong.
Chiao was puzzled. He did not know who the four of them were. Master only asked him to come with Elder Luo. As for the rest, he did not mention a single word.
At the beginning, he had thought that the Tower Lord was just a single person and should be an expert under his master, but now that he saw it with his own eyes, he realized that it was completely different. He could not help but feel suspicious when he saw how they called Xiao Yunlong and even insulted Elder Luo without a single trace of anger on their faces.
Fatty was the same. Although he wasn't as good as Chiao thought, even a fool could see that. They might be familiar people to Master, but they were definitely not friendly people.
Elder Luo seemed to know their identities, but he did not open his mouth to explain.
"Four sirs, I will not speak any more useless words. Right now, I only have one question. Do the four of you want to leave?"
"Go out? "Hahaha, what other tricks is Xiao Yunlong trying to pull this time?"
"Do you want to squeeze out the last bit of our value?"
"Four of you!"
Elder Luo suddenly raised his voice as his gaze swept past them and said, "When we came, the lord had already told us. If we were to finish this, we will definitely think of a way to let the four of you leave this place of suffering."
"Oh? "Tell me, let me see what kind of trick is Xiao Yunlong playing."
He pointed to Chiao and Fatty Gao beside him and said, "They are the direct disciples of the lord. I hope that the four of you can help them with their mutation. If you succeed, I will make sure to keep you in the sea of suffering."
Hearing the buff from the mutation, no matter how Chiao maintained his calm, he could not hide the excitement in his heart. Although he did not know who the four of them were, he knew that there were nine balls of energy here and they could be merged with Mutant Energy Mass.
Did Master ask me to come here to fuse mutated energy? In this way, once successful, wouldn't one's strength increase by another level?
The more he thought about it, the more excited Chiao became. He was very clear about the terror of the mutated energy, and his own Flying Knife potential was probably at the peak of perfection.
"They are Xiao Yunlong's disciples?"
The four elders' eyes continuously swept across Chiao and Fatty Gao with a sharp gaze. Chiao stabilized his mind and once again revealed a proud expression as he looked fearlessly at the four of them.
On the other hand, the fatty was different. He took a step forward, and although he didn't speak, he slightly bowed towards the four people.
"That's right!"
"Haha, as expected, two pieces of good material. To have such strength at such a young age. It seems like Xiao Yunlong has always had such unique eyes, but …"
After saying that, the old man on the east side suddenly said darkly, "Did Xiao Yunlong tell you to kill the four of us after helping them?"
Elder Luo's expression slightly changed. He immediately denied and said, "Nothing like that!"
"Brat, you're too inexperienced. When grandpa was dominating the world, you weren't even born yet. Scram, go back and tell Xiao Yunlong. If you want grandpa's life, personally come and take it!"
"The four of you, do you really not want to go out?" Elder Luo's voice became low and deep.
"Tsk tsk …"
"Haha …"
The four of them let out creepy laughter. Suddenly, the old man at the east shouted, "Haha, the days of life and death are finally over."
"It won't be that easy to free myself." Elder Luo shouted, "Do you really think that you four are not here …"
As he said that, he suddenly stopped. Elder Luo's eyes narrowed as he looked towards a certain direction in the void.
Ripples suddenly rose in the air above the hall. Soon after, a thick ball of Black Fog quickly formed and instantly formed a black, human-shaped shadow that was somewhat blurry and ethereal.
His appearance could not be seen clearly, but his voice was old and hollow.
"You two, have you finally recovered your wits?"
The four ferocious old men from east, west, south, and west all raised their heads at the same time. Their eyes were all glowing as they firmly locked onto the figure. Their eyes were filled with complicated emotions: excitement, self-mockery, regret, and killing intent.
"Twenty years, a full twenty years. So the one that we have been wanting to kill is actually you, Punishment Lord. We are guilty, and deserve to die a thousand times for it!"
"Punishment Lord, is that you …"
"Xiao Yunlong, I've cursed you for all my life, messing up my will, enticing my mind, making us commit heinous crimes."
"I hate, I hate, dying is not enough, dying is not enough!"
The voices of the four elders trembled, and their scrawny limbs fiercely struggled with the iron chains behind them. They roared hoarsely, wanting to pounce on Qing Ying to see his appearance.
Punishment Lord?
Fatty Gao and Chiao were startled when they heard this name. They immediately slightly bent their bodies and looked at it with alert. Elder Luo, on the other hand, quietly stood there with no surprise on his face.
At this moment, the black illusory image quietly floated in place as two complicated gazes silently watched from within the Black Fog, swept past the four people. Although they did not say anything, the slightly trembling Black Fog betrayed his current mood.
"Punishment Lord, we should die a thousand times for our crimes. Back then, we overheard Xiao Yunlong's slanderous words and caused a disaster today. We should die a thousand times for our crimes!"
"Punishment Lord, back then Xiao Yunlong said that you were trapped in this Confined Space and only the four of us combined can save you. We, we …"
"I hate it, I hate it!"
Hiss ~ ~ Hiss ~ Howl ~ ~ Hiss ~ ~ The space was vast. Without exception, the iron chain kept clattering non-stop. At this time, the cross shaped light pillar behind them suddenly lit up and with a wow, they all spat out large mouthfuls of blood.
The shadow still stood there quietly, and finally, the Black Fog moved, revealing a pale white face. His eyes stared at them blankly, his mouth opened and closed slightly, but he was unable to say a single word.
At this moment, a sneer sounded.
"Hehe, so it's you, Lei Punishment Lord. The lord was right, you actually managed to persevere until now, using only a sliver of residual consciousness to create a remnant spirit body in a short twenty years. You are truly worthy of this old man's admiration."
Lei Ming didn't even look at him. His gaze continued to pass by the four elders. His eyes trembled, but he remained silent for a long time.
"Hehe, to be hunted by your most trusted subordinate back then, it should taste pretty good right. To be weakened by the Four Symbols Sundering everyday, you must still be able to persevere until now …"
Elder Luo's voice was interrupted by a charming chuckle.
"I've always been curious about the identity of the four Tower Masters. Elder Luo, I wonder if you can fulfill my little wish today?"
With her enchanting figure, charming face, long black silk skirt, and military boots, the Lady Boss slowly walked over from the ninth floor's entrance. Her eyes were focused on the four old men tied to the crisscrossing light pillars, and a faint trace of doubt flashed across her eyes.
"Lady Boss, are you here to join in the fun as well?"
Elder Luo didn't seem to be surprised at the Lady Boss's arrival, but his voice became more indifferent.
The Lady Boss shrugged her shoulders and slowly stopped walking. "I like to be lively the most, and my curiosity is especially high. I especially like to hear some secrets. The four of you … Lord Tower Master, you should be able to satisfy my little curiosity, right? "
"Hahaha!"
The old man on the east laughed sinisterly, his copper bell-like eyes shedding blood as he shouted, "Why not? Back then, we listened to Xiao Yunlong's slanderous words, but we didn't want to be used by him for twenty years. Moreover, we didn't expect that the person we had been chasing after all this time was the person we had always wanted to save."
"Dammit, we deserve to die a thousand times for our crimes!" "Haha …"
