Chapter 990 Is it over?

Xuan Mu tapped his folding fan against his palm. "The key to the mirror world might lie in that black tower."

The rain outside the window was getting heavier, and the raindrops hit the window paper, making hideous shapes of ghost faces.

Wen Xingyan suddenly pointed his sword at the beam and said, "Look!"

I saw that the beams were covered with blue crystals, opening and closing like clam shells.

Shen Fuzhou got goose bumps all over his body: “What on earth is this!?”

"Shut up!" Xuan Mu gritted his teeth.

The moment Xie Shiyuan's silver needle shot out of the air and pierced into the crack of the crystal stone, the entire inn suddenly shook violently.

"Let's go!" Luo Li threw out a talisman from her sleeve, which created a crack in the wall.

Just as everyone jumped out of the teahouse, the teahouse behind them collapsed like building blocks.

When they landed on the street, they realized that everything around them had changed.

The deserted city had completely changed its appearance in the rainstorm—the houses on both sides of the street were all distorted into mirrors, and in each mirror there was a headless figure frantically slapping the mirror.

Shen Fuzhou covered his ears, his voice trembling: “Someone is crying!”

The crying sound seemed to come from underground, mixed with the sound of rain and vibrating in everyone's soul.

Luo Li pursed her lips and quickly took out a few pills and handed them to them, "Take it!"

After doing all this, he wiped his eyes with his fingers, and the moment his golden eyes emerged, he saw the truth: under the bluestone slabs of the entire street, there were densely packed blue crystals embedded in the white bones.

She instantly raised her hand and summoned Seventeen and Little Six, "Seventeen, Little Six, pay attention to your surroundings!"

"good!"

"Follow me closely." She tapped her toes and ran quickly on the suspended mirror fragments.

Xuan Mu's folding fan drew a green trajectory in the air, guiding everyone.

The Priest's Temple was closer than they thought. In just a quarter of an hour, they arrived at the Priest's Temple, which looked extremely luxurious, in the center of the Desolate City.

In the center of the priest's temple, a tall black tower stands.

The nine-story tower is made entirely of mirrors, and an extinguished candle lamp is suspended on the top of the tower.

Luo Li suddenly stopped where she was, her eyes filled with horror: Why does this thing look so much like the Tower of Gods!

Just as Xie Shiyuan was about to step onto the stairs, Luo Li suddenly grabbed her and said, "Wait!"

I saw that the steps were covered with transparent silk threads, each of which was connected to the crystal on the tower.

Wen Xingyan lightly raised the tip of his sword, and smelly blood splashed out from the broken silk thread.

Suddenly, the tower gate opened silently. Xiaoyi stood inside, holding a lantern, with dozens of mirrored tentacles extending from under her skirt. "Brother," she said, "the sisters arrived so quickly."

Her head suddenly split in two, revealing a wriggling cluster of blue crystals inside. "The High Priest has been waiting for you for a long time."

An ice sword condensed in Luo Li's hand, but the tip of the sword pierced through Xiaoyi's body—the girl was actually an illusion made up of countless mirror fragments.

The real attack came from above: thousands of crystal threads hung down from the eaves of the tower, covering everyone like a spider web!

"Burn the sky!" The chaotic soul fire shot up into the sky, and the silk net cried like a baby in the fire.

Taking advantage of this gap, six people rushed into the tower, and the heavy door slammed shut behind them.

The space inside the tower is much larger than the exterior, and the circular walls are covered with human-shaped mirror frames.

Each frame contained a face with a painful expression, and a blue crystal was embedded between the eyebrows.

“These are all…” Shen Fuzhou’s voice trembled.

"The vengeful spirit that failed to be purified." Xuan Mu's folding fan turned into a sword and pointed at the central altar.

The high priest they had seen during the day was suspended in a magic circle formed by seven pillars made of five-colored divine gold.

But at this moment, crystal tentacles stretched out from under her dress, frantically sucking the black air overflowing from the mirror frame.

The high priest slowly turned around, a mirrored surface constantly flowing beneath his body. "Trespassers, become nutrients for purification."

The entire tower's frame suddenly exploded simultaneously, and countless blue crystals turned into a rainstorm and shot towards everyone.

Everyone put up a barrier, but it was still scratched by a few crystals and left bloody marks.

The blood-stained crystal actually penetrated into the flesh and began to devour spiritual energy!

"Stand back!" Luo Li formed seals with her hands, and nine golden lotuses bloomed from the void.

The black and red flames gushing out from the lotus heart melted the crystal into liquid, but it re-condensed when it fell to the ground.

The high priest's laughter came from all directions: "It's useless. The crystals in the mirror world all contain the laws of heaven..."

The voice stopped abruptly.

Luo Li held Xuan Yue, and without knowing when, she had already pressed against her back. The long sword pierced into the mirrored body without mercy: "I found you."

Xuan Mu took the opportunity to throw out the Soul Locking Chain, but the moment he tied up the High Priest, his expression suddenly changed: "No! This is-"

"Just a container." A hoarse voice came from the top of the tower.

The extinguished soul-guiding lamp suddenly lit up with a pale green flame, illuminating a hunched figure sitting in the flame.

She was an old woman with festering wounds all over her body, holding a clay pot containing eighteen blue stones that they used to pay the bill.

As he shook the pottery jar, the mirror surface of the entire city began to crack.

"It's been hundreds of thousands of years..." The old woman's gray eyes turned and finally locked onto Luo Li. "Finally, I've waited for a living person who can withstand the power of the laws of heaven."

She grinned, "Then you will become the new center of this purification formation!"

Luo Li frowned fiercely, and Xuan Mu and the others cursed loudly: "You're dreaming!"

The old woman at the top of the tower suddenly grew in size, and bright blue crystals appeared under her festering skin.

"Be careful!" Xuan Mu pushed Luo Li away, but was hit in the chest by the crystal core.

A strange blue light immediately spread along his spiritual veins, and he groaned and knelt on one knee.

The high priest's tentacles took the opportunity to entangle everyone, and the crystal core began to frantically extract spiritual power.

Luo Li was struggling to make hand gestures while restrained, but saw Xie Shiyuan suddenly take out a jade flute. She bit her tongue and sprayed blood on the jade flute.

"Clear sound breaks the barrier!" The sound of the flute turned into a tangible blade, temporarily cutting off the suction of the crystal core.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Luo Li jumped up and stabbed the old woman in the throat with his sword!

"clang!"

The tip of the sword was blocked by an invisible barrier three inches away from the throat.

The old woman raised the soul-guiding lamp with a sinister smile: "It's useless, unless..."

Her expression suddenly froze.

Shen Fuzhou climbed onto the altar at some point, holding the Heaven-Swallowing Mirror that had already developed a crack!

He roared, and the Heaven-Swallowing Mirror instantly transformed into a long sword shining with golden light.

The moment the long sword pierced the crystal in the old woman's heart, the entire black tower began to collapse.

The high priest let out a howl that was not like a human voice, and his body was torn into pieces in the blue light.

Luo Li took the opportunity to break free from the restraints and flew over to catch the five falling crystal cores.

"Walk!"

She pressed a Xuanjun Pill against Xuan Mu's heart, and black and red flames formed a protective shield.

Everyone flew and landed directly outside the priest's hall.

"So..." Xie Shiyuan asked breathlessly, "What exactly is that high priest?"

Luo Li wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth: "I don't know, but

Xuan Mu suddenly coughed violently and spat out a bloody crystal fragment.

Luo Li hurriedly treated his injuries. Fortunately, Xuan Mu's injuries were not serious and he would be fine after two days of rest.

Just as everyone was looking at each other and smiling, no one noticed that not far away - a piece of mirror fragment was quietly standing up, reflecting Xiaoyi's back as she jumped away.
