Chapter 22: The Phantom in the Tower



"Don't worry, Miss Achu, we will get rid of the monster right away." Chang Fei held the sword with full confidence.

The enemy in this level must be the evil spirit that bewitches people and breaks up other people's marriages.

Ah Chu stood up and bowed to them, "Ah Chu would like to thank you young heroes first."

She had a dignified and elegant posture, and was wearing silk and satin. She came from a wealthy family and it was obvious that she was very well-educated.

Song Yuanyuan and others did not have too many doubts and followed her to see Yuanlang.

A Chu led the way, walking through the bustling streets and coming to a quiet home. They stopped in front of an exquisite courtyard with lights on. A few people heard a maid walking past the door and whispered, "The young lady will cook in person today. Go and call the young master over."

Ah Chu looked gloomy after hearing this.

Chang Fei gestured with his hand: "What should we do now? Go in directly?"

"Let's take a look first." Xu Shen said, "Confirm it's a demon before taking action."

Ah Chu said timidly: "This young man... don't you believe me?"

Xu Shen was stunned by the question. After all, he was a young man, and his experience was lovable. He immediately bowed and said seriously, "I have no such intention. Miss Chu, please don't think too much about it."

"Yes, we are just afraid of accidental injuries." Song Yuanyuan nodded in agreement.

Ah Chu lowered his head and whispered, "That demon is very beautiful and can bewitch people. Its methods are sophisticated and frightening. A Taoist priest came to exorcise the demon two days ago and pasted many talismans in front of the door, but Yuan Lang angrily drove him away. The woman cried in Yuan Lang's arms, which was very pitiful."

She smiled bitterly and said, "No one believes that she is the enchantress."

These words made everyone sigh again.

Song Yuanyuan said: "Don't be afraid, Miss Ah Chu, we will definitely expose the demon's true form this time!"

A few people took advantage of the guard's inattention and climbed over the wall into the mansion.

During this time, Lingluo asked, "What happened to the Taoist priest later?"

Ah Chu said: "Yuan Lang protected him and refused to let him go, so the Taoist gave up and left."

They came to the open-air courtyard and saw a slender woman in green placing dishes and chopsticks, chatting and laughing with the maid beside her.

"Madam." Yuanlang came in from outside the courtyard and shouted. The woman in green turned around, smiling timidly, with spring in her eyes. She was indeed a beauty.

"It's not so beautiful that it can bewitch people." Chang Fei muttered quietly while hiding in the bushes.

"What should we do now?" Song Yuanyuan asked, "Should we just go ahead?"

Ling Luo smiled and said, "Just go ahead. Isn't this floor for your performance? What's there to be afraid of a demon that specializes in bewitching mortals to breathe in the air? Go ahead and show her her true form first."

Song Yuanyuan held the sword, full of energy: "I'm going!"

He jumped out of the bushes with a sword in hand and shouted, "Demon! Look at the sword!"

The woman in green and Yuanlang were both startled, and the maid even screamed. When Song Yuanyuan drew her sword and stabbed, she saw white mist passing by.

The five people were sent back to the Dharma Gate.

Song Yuanyuan's eyes widened: "Why!?"

"What went wrong?" Chang Fei was also confused. "Is it the same as before, where we have to expose the person's true form before we can start fighting?"

"Come again!" Song Yuanyuan was not convinced and pushed open the door again.

It was the familiar city river again. This time, no one could stop him and Achu jumped into the river with a splash.

Xu Shen said: "I just saved him."

Chang Fei pushed Song Yuanyuan down with his backhand. Song Yuanyuan: “Fuck—”

After rescuing Ah Chu, in order to pass the time, Chang Fei said: "I know! We all know! Miss Ah Chu, you have a childhood sweetheart who has been bewitched by a demon. We will go and help you rescue him now!"

Ah Chu was stunned by what they said and obediently led the way.

We arrived at Yuanlang's house again.

Song Yuanyuan looked at the two people sitting at the stone table in the courtyard and said in confusion, "How can I make her reveal her true form?"

"Let's go and have a chat first." Chang Fei rushed out of the bushes and said, "Yuan Lang! Do you know that the woman you married is actually a demon from the mountains, who specializes in cultivating and absorbing men's essence! It's a perverse way!"

The woman in green was frightened by the sudden appearance of this person. Yuan Lang stood up from his seat and said angrily: "Where did this crazy kid come from? How dare you talk nonsense here! Don't slander my wife!"

Song Yuanyuan also stepped forward and said, "Calm down first, don't get excited. Let me try the spiritual technique to make her reveal her true form."

"How dare you!" Yuan Lang shouted angrily, "Get out of here!"

Then a white mist passed by.

Song Yuanyuan looked at Famen in amazement.

Chang Fei grabbed her hair: "Why?"

Ling Luo walked past him and said leisurely, "It seems that this is the only thing you can say since you entered the 100th floor."

"Did you find anything?" Xu Shen asked her.

"Don't be fooled by preconceived notions." Lingluo said, "Think carefully about why every time you identify someone as a demon, you are driven back to the gate by the Heaven-Swallowing Tower."

Chang Fei thought about it, and finally opened his eyes wide and asked: "Why?!"

Xu Shen: “…”

You really can only say why.

"She's not a demon." Yue Liangze finally couldn't help it and wanted to finish it quickly, so he said, "Achu is."

These words shocked everyone. Song Yuanyuan had just opened her magic door, and when she heard it, she turned around in shock.

With a splash, Achu jumped into the city river again.

"Achu is the demon?! How did you find out?" Chang Fei asked in disbelief, "She doesn't look like a demon at all!"

"Yuanlang's wife doesn't look like a demon at all. How do you know she is one? It's because of what Ah Chu said. But does that mean she is necessarily right?" Ling Luo asked back.

Xu Shen asked: "Should we save people first or explain things clearly before taking action?"

"Save him! Save him first! It's your turn this time!" Song Yuanyuan turned her head and glared at Chang Fei.

Chang Fei stretched out his hand to stop him: "Don't kick! I'll jump by myself!"

When Chang Fei went down to rescue the person, Song Yuanyuan asked Yue Liangze: "Little father, how did you know this?"

"She said that a Taoist priest had pasted many talismans to drive away demons at the door the day before, and the power of the talismans was still there, but she was reluctant to go in through the main door." Yue Liangze said, "When she went to the Yuan family for the second time, she asked Chang Fei if she could get rid of the power of the talismans left at the door."

Song Yuanyuan clapped her hands and said, "Chang Fei, you idiot! You didn't even think of this!"

Ling Luo glanced over and said, "Then you said it was okay, so you helped people get rid of the power."

Song Yuanyuan: “…”

When they saw the remaining power of the talisman on the door, they all chose to believe that what Achu said was true, but Lingluo and Yue Liangze began to doubt Achu at that moment.

"When I asked her why she believed that the other party was a demon, Ah Chu said that it was because the other party showed its true form in front of her, and proudly declared that it had seduced Yuan Lang. So later, I just need to let Ah Chu make the other party show its true form."

After listening to Yue Liangze, Song Yuanyuan suddenly realized and clapped her hands again, thinking that this method was feasible.

Xu Shen also said: "If Ah Chu is lying, then it will be time for her to reveal her true colors."

There was a splash on the river surface, and Chang Fei rescued Achu who had fallen into the water.

She led the way to the Yuan family again.

When they passed the main gate, Ah Chu said again: "Young man, can you remove the spell on this door? I'm afraid that the demon will be injured and will absorb Yuan Lang's energy, making his already weak body even more unbearable."

Song Yuanyuan said seriously: "Absolutely not. If the power of these spells is preserved, it may be able to help us."

"Okay." Ah Chu bit her lower lip and looked at him pitifully.

Song Yuanyuan roared in her heart, the beauty trap is no longer effective!

The few of them came to the open-air courtyard again and saw the woman in green who was placing dishes and chopsticks on the table and Yuanlang who had just entered.

"Miss Ah Chu, when you see the demon later, please go up to it and talk to it, and try to irritate it so that it will reveal its true form." Ling Luo said to her with a smile, "Don't worry, we will protect you. When the demon reveals its true form, we will capture it immediately."

"Me, me?" Ah Chu was stunned, and tears immediately filled his eyes, "But I'm afraid... I'm so afraid of her!"

"What are you afraid of? We have so many people to protect you." Lingluo stretched out her hand and handed Yingxi to her. "This is a top-grade weapon. Leave it to you to protect yourself."

"No, no! I dare not!" Achu retreated repeatedly.

"You've already lied to us all the way, what else are you afraid of?" Chang Fei said angrily, "I almost believed you!"

"What do you mean, young man? I have not lied to you at all!" A Chu shook his head.

Xu Shen threw a talisman to her, but Ah Chu dodged it with a dodge, "Young man!"

"Still pretending!" Song Yuanyuan raised her sword to block her retreat. At this moment, Achu was surrounded by black air. He raised his head again, his eyes were scary and empty, with black ink flowing out of them.

Ah Chu flew towards the woman in green in the courtyard and said sharply, "Kill her for me! I am the one Yuan Lang loves the most!"

Song Yuanyuan and Chang Fei flew over with swords in hand to intercept them.

This time Lingluo didn't take any action, just watched them fight.

She held Yue Liangze's hand and never let go, but she felt the temperature of his palm was getting colder and colder.

Ling Luo tilted her head to look at him, "What's wrong with you?"

Yue Liangze just said, "I'm hungry."

Ling Luo: "How hungry must you be to have such cold hands?"

Yue Liangze lowered his eyes: "I'm very hungry."

Ling Luo: “…”

She unfolded the Sakura in her hand, injected spiritual power into it and flew it out, hitting Achu's vital point. Ah Chu let out a scream, and black light burst out from his body. He turned into a pool of black ink and fell into the blank scroll on the ground.

Chang Fei put away his sword and stopped, scratching his head and said, "So it's a painted monster."

Song Yuanyuan turned around and looked at Lingluo: "Didn't you say that I should take this level?"

Ling Luo laughed and said, "If your little dad doesn't go out to eat, he's going to starve to death!"

Yue Liangze listened with an indifferent expression.

Xu Shen put away the flying talisman and said, "Let's go out. It should be late outside."

"Come on, come on. I'm afraid the evening dining hall is closed. Senior brother, do you mind if we eat together?" Chang Fei came close to Yue Liangze. "I can help you. I'm good at chopping wood and making fire!"

"My little dad will definitely not mind me eating with him," Song Yuanyuan said.

Yue Liangze doesn’t mind who he eats with, he only minds eating if the food is not cooked by himself.

The group had just come out of the Heaven-Swallowing Tower and were still discussing what to eat in the evening when they saw Li Feng arriving. Hall Master Fan was sitting on his carpet, with two people from the Discipline Hall beside him.

Song Yuanyuan immediately put away her playful smile and said solemnly, "Master."

The others also followed suit and saluted: "Greetings, Master Fan."

Hall Master Fan only looked at one of them and said in a deep voice: "Lingluo, come with me to the Discipline Hall."

What's the meaning?

Why did Lingluo go to the Discipline Hall?

Song Yuanyuan and the others all had a lot of questions in their heads.

Lingluo was stunned at first, then she understood.

She made different choices in her life and had interactions with Song Yuanyuan and others, and she almost forgot that the time had come.

Ling Luo didn't say much, nor did she resist. She just followed Master Fan away silently.

After they flew away on their swords, Song Yuanyuan patted her chest and said, "Did Lingluo do something wrong again?"

Chang Fei opened the jade listening box and looked at it, wondering, "I didn't find any big news."

"Senior Brother?" Xu Shen was a little confused when he saw Yue Liangze walking down.

Yue Liangze said: "I will go back to the outer gate first."

Chang Fei: "But Lingluo she——"

"I'll go cook, and when she's done she can come over and start eating right away." Yue Liangze said.

Song Yuanyuan also said: "That's right, you guys go help my little father first, I'll go to the Discipline Hall to take a look, maybe she was just taken there to be reprimanded, it's nothing serious."

Hearing him say that, Chang Fei couldn't help but put away the jade earphones and walked out with Yue Liangze, nodding and saying, "That's right, and Lingluo has the protection of the three masters, so don't be afraid."
