"Those imprisoned in the Soul Locking Tower are all the evil cultivators, demon cultivators, and devil cultivators killed by Venerable Wei Yan. Their bodies were annihilated, leaving only their souls imprisoned within the tower."
"The Soul Locking Tower has four floors, and they are extremely dangerous. All of you have the same mission: kill the four tower masters guarding the gates and obtain their soul crystals. You will complete the mission, and then you can choose any item left behind by the tower master to take away."
After the words were spoken, the voice of the Secret Realm Guardian disappeared.
Jiang Deng frowned slightly.
The Secret Realm Keeper said that they were all on the same quest. Apparently, there wasn't just her on this level, there should be many others...
Then maybe I can meet Jiang Zhiling?
Thinking of this, Jiang Deng's eyes lit up, and he quickly looked down, and saw that the rune on his wrist was slightly glowing.
There really are fellow students nearby!
Having used Ye Guchen's identity enough, Jiang Deng took off his concealment cloak while no one was around and restored his original identity.
After doing this, she breathed a sigh of relief and quickly looked around, trying to find someone she knew.
Looking around, you can see a huge tower sitting in the wasteland. The tower is a bit old and it seems that it has been exposed to wind and sun for many years.
There are a few small black dots in front of the tower. They must be people waiting for the Soul Locking Tower to open and go in to complete the quest...
Jiang Deng curled the corners of his lips slightly, and quickly flew towards the Soul Locking Tower on his sword!
At the same time, many people stood in front of the Soul Locking Tower.
Among them are men and women, but they are all disciples of the Taichu Sword Sect.
Xia Chenqing, Xiao Yan, Jiang Zhi, Shi Zihang, Leng Baige, Qin Guang, and... Jiang Zhiling.
Jiang Zhiling looked around, trying to find the sister she was thinking about.
Apart from the first level, she never encountered Sister. She didn't know if Sister had been injured, hungry, or...
A figure appeared at the end of the sight.
Jiang Zhiling's eyes lit up and she quickly opened her eyes to look. The man was dressed in white and had the style of a nobleman.
The light in her eyes disappeared, and Jiang Zhiling immediately became distraught. It was not her elder sister, but the guy named Ying Ling from the Paradise Palace.
Ying Ling saw Xia Chenqing in the crowd at first sight, and the corners of his lips curled up, "Oh, I actually ran into Senior Brother Xia Chenqing, what a coincidence."
Xia Chenqing smiled back, "It must be a coincidence."
Ying Ling's face fell, "Why, Xia Chenqing, are you unhappy to see me?"
Xia Chenqing nodded, "Yeah, not happy."
Ying Ling: “…”
Xia Chenqing, as always, didn't give him any face.
Considering that he was the only one from the Paradise Palace present, it would be disadvantageous for him to fight with so many disciples from the Taichu Sword Sect, so he had no choice but to swallow his anger.
Unexpectedly, Xia Chenqing didn't intend to let Ying Ling go like this. Instead, he asked, "Brother Ying, why are you silent?"
"Xia Chenqing, don't look for trouble! My patience has its limits!"
Ying Ling also got angry, and it seemed that the two were about to fight.
A white light flashed across the sky, and the next moment, Baili Chengfeng came flying in the air.
Seeing the arrival of the Night Envoy, Xia Chenqing and Ying Ling immediately shut up and pretended to be on good terms with each other.
Baili Chengfeng ignored them and kept looking into the distance with Jiang Zhiling, as if waiting for someone to appear.
Shi Zihang, who was lively in nature, glanced around boredly. There were already enough people around, so why wasn't the door of the Soul Locking Tower open yet?
"Isn't everyone here yet?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of sword light appeared.
A hurried female voice came from the sword, "I'm coming!"
Jiang Deng arrived late.
When he saw Jiang Deng again, a hint of joy flashed through Baili Chengfeng's heart.
Xiao Yan secretly clenched his fists and swore in his heart that there were many dangers in the Soul Locking Tower, and he would definitely take the opportunity to get Jiang Deng's blood!
Leng Baige frowned unhappily. Why did he run into Jiang Deng at this level? What bad luck!
"Sister!"
Jiang Zhiling was different from the others. She didn't think too much and greeted him directly and enthusiastically, "Zhiling, I've finally waited for you!"
Jiang Deng patted Jiang Zhiling's head and praised her, "You actually passed several levels by yourself, that's amazing!"
Jiang Zhiling chuckled, "I'm just a little luckier."
Leng Baige, holding his sword, said sarcastically, "What good luck? If Jiang Zhi hadn't helped you, you would have been eliminated and left the secret realm long ago!"
Hearing this, Jiang Deng glanced at Leng Baige, and his aura suddenly became stern. "What we sisters are saying is none of your business!"
Feeling the pressure of a Jindan realm cultivator from Jiang Deng, Leng Baige couldn't help but shudder.
Core Formation Realm!
Jiang Deng actually entered the Jindan realm so quickly?
You know, he hasn't reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment yet!
Are you kidding me? Who is the one with the natural spiritual root?
Considering that even if several of him were added together, they would not be a match for Jiang Deng, Leng Baige quickly looked away and pretended nothing had happened.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Deng's gaze fell on Jiang Zhi, looking at him scrutinizingly.
Jiang Zhi smiled back, "These are what I should do."
Jiang Deng nodded, "Thank you."
For some reason, although Jiang Zhi had never done anything bad to them, she instinctively disliked this person, let alone had any good feelings towards him.
Fortunately, Jiang Zhiling was not enthusiastic about this person, and she was her sister who was not obsessed with love.
"cough!"
Xia Chenqing coughed lightly, breaking the strange atmosphere around them, and asked Jiang Deng, "Master Jiang, everyone is here. What do you think?"
Jiang Deng didn't react when he heard this, but Ying Ling was the first to express his displeasure. "Why let a Jindan cultivator be the leader? Shouldn't the leader be chosen from among the three of us Yuanying cultivators?"
Xia Chenqing smiled back, "It's because we have so many people in the Taichu Sword Sect."
Baili Chengfeng also spoke up in time, "I don't object to Jiang Deng being the leader."
Jiang Deng raised his eyebrows and said, "See? Are you okay? Don't waste everyone's precious time!"
Ying Ling: “…”
So you just want to bully him because he's alone?
"Let's go in."
Jiang Deng walked towards the Soul Locking Tower, placed his hands on the door, and exerted a little force.
Creak——
The old stone door was pushed open.
The light from outside was projected in, illuminating the old facilities inside.
The stone slabs are broken and tattered, weeds are growing in the cracks, and green vines are crawling all over the walls. This place looks like a country forgotten by time.
Everyone walked in at the same time.
Bang!
There was a loud noise behind him, and the stone door suddenly closed, and darkness enveloped the world again!
"Who closed the door!" Ying Ling said angrily.
"No, no one closed the door..."
Qin Guang, the last one to enter the tower, said with fear in his voice, "The door closed by itself after we all came in!"
