The truth was that the evil cultivator Gu Zhu was killed by Baili Chengfeng with just one finger, but Jiang Deng turned black into white and said that it was a sneak attack.
If Gu Zhu heard this, he would definitely cry out in injustice.
Although the lies Jiang Deng made up were outrageous, everyone believed them and immediately became indignant.
"Damn it! These demon cultivators are so cunning!"
"Night Envoy, you've worked hard."
"Master Jiang Feng, thank you for your hard work. Let me carry the Night Envoy on my back!"
…
Baili Chengfeng was shocked by everyone's enthusiasm.
Although he couldn't walk for the time being, he didn't want to be carried by others, so he wrapped his arms around Jiang Deng's neck and buried his head in Jiang Deng's shoulder.
Everyone continued to persuade him, "Night Envoy, there are differences between men and women. How can you insist on riding on Master Jiang Feng's back and not get off?"
"Yes!" Qin Guang also said, "Night Envoy, my back is wide, so it's more comfortable for me to carry people. Let me do this tough job!"
…
However, no matter how everyone tried to persuade him, Baili Chengfeng remained unmoved and had no intention of getting off Jiang Deng.
Seeing this, a look of understanding flashed in Ying Ling's eyes.
He understood!
Ye Shangshi was not actually injured, he just wanted to take the opportunity to get close to Jiang Deng. Unexpectedly, Jiang Deng, who was always smart, was also caught.
It turns out that being a bootlicker is also very promising!
Thinking of this, Ying Ling cleared his throat and said, "Don't bother Night Envoy anymore. Let him have a good rest. There's still another level of the Soul Locking Tower."
After hearing this, everyone calmed down and prepared to go to the fourth floor of the Soul Locking Tower.
When Jiang Zhiling walked to Jiang Deng's side, she couldn't stand the fact that someone was clinging to Jiang Deng's back for no reason, so she cast a look of disdain at Baili Chengfeng, "You're already such a grown-up, and you still need my sister to carry you."
Humph! Sister has never carried her on her back before! She's not happy.
Baili Chengfeng: "..."
Although he was despised by Jiang Deng's sister, he still didn't want to get off Jiang Deng's back, so he pretended not to understand.
"Ye, don't just stay up there and keep silent. I know you can hear me! If you have the guts to let my sister carry you, why don't you plant it down? Come down!"
Seeing that Jiang Zhiling was so angry that she couldn't help but want to drag Baili Chengfeng down, Jiang Deng quickly comforted her, "Zhiling, be good. Sister will carry you another day."
Jiang Zhiling flatly refused: "No, I want to carry my sister on my back!"
“…Uh, that’s fine.”
"Hehe, then it's a deal!" Jiang Zhiling immediately became happy.
Jiang Deng: “…”
Oh, my sister and my beauty are both too clingy, what should I do? I have to say, it's a sweet trouble.
After Gu Zhu died, the black air in the third level of space had completely dissipated, revealing the steps leading to the fourth level.
Only a small number of the originally crazy minions were left. They all huddled in the corner, shivering, and didn't dare to provoke anyone again.
So, they did not kill them all, but bypassed the demon and went to the fourth floor of the Soul Locking Tower.
Soon, they entered the fourth floor of the Soul Locking Tower.
This floor is extremely different from the other three floors. It's not that it's particularly dangerous, but... there's no one here, you can see the end at a glance, and it doesn't look dangerous at all.
Looking around, the ground was covered with a variety of spiritual weapons. Although most of them were damaged in battle and very few were intact, their grades were not low, at least they were all top-grade yellow grade.
Although there were no heavenly grade spiritual weapons, the sudden appearance of so many spiritual weapons was simply astonishing.
"Why is there no one here?"
Everyone searched around but didn't find any figure, which made them feel surprised.
Could it be that the demon guarding this level is already dead? But there can't be even a corpse left...
Jiang Deng frowned slightly, feeling a little strange.
Didn’t Gu Zhu say that the previous Demon Lord Dan Qing was on the fourth floor? Where is he?
Not having seen Demon Lord Danqing himself, Jiang Deng had no choice but to suppress his regret and said, "Forget about that. Since there's no danger, that's the best. The most urgent thing is to find the item that the guardian of the secret realm wants to pass through."
"But what are the clearance items?" everyone asked with a frown.
Jiang Deng said with certainty, "It must be the most special one. You will be absolutely sure when you find it."
Everyone: "...it's the same as if you didn't say anything."
With no other options, everyone had to rummage through the pile of junk on the ground, searching for the item needed to pass the level. They also did not forget to pick out any spiritual weapons they liked so that they could take them away after completing the task.
Since Jiang Deng was still carrying Baili Chengfeng on his back, he couldn't do it himself, so he had to supervise everyone from the side to make sure they didn't slack off.
A quarter of an hour later.
"Sister, do you think this is it?"
Jiang Zhiling held up what she had found. It was a palm-sized crystal core, pure white with sharp edges. It flashed with starlight in the darkness, and it was very beautiful.
It is not a spiritual weapon, nor is it a treasure from heaven and earth.
The material is extremely special, as if it was condensed by some kind of force.
"What is this?"
Everyone gathered around and asked curiously.
The knowledgeable Baili Chengfeng said, "This is a soul crystal. It is formed after the death of a venerable cultivator, from their consciousness and memories. It is the essence of the entire soul, hence the name soul crystal."
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up. "Since this item is so special, it must be the clearance item the Secret Realm Guardian mentioned!"
"Then once we get this clearance item, can we leave?"
As soon as Shi Zihang finished speaking, the voice of the guardian of the secret realm sounded from above.
"Congratulations on obtaining the clearance item and completing the Soul Locking Tower mission. Everyone present can choose one item to take away."
Before anyone else reacted, Jiang Deng raised his hand and said, "Can I take the golem on the third floor?"
She felt that the golem was more useful than the mirror Yao Lanxin gave her. It would be great if she could take it away, then she would have an extra powerful spiritual weapon.
The Secret Realm Keeper's tone was filled with a hint of teasing, "Can your storage bag hold it?"
Jiang Deng: “…”
Sorry to bother you.
The golem was so huge that not only could it not fit in her storage bag, but even her mustard seed space couldn't hold it. It seemed she could only temporarily store it in the Soul Locking Tower...
After Jiang Deng put away the regret in his heart, the others had also picked out the items they liked. The next moment, a huge teleportation array appeared under their feet.
On the teleportation array, the runes flickered, shining like stars.
Jiang Deng was so busy memorizing the runes that he forgot to put Baili Chengfeng down at the moment he was teleported away, and the two of them disappeared at the same time.
"well……"
A soft sigh was heard.
The next moment, a woman appeared out of thin air in the space on the fourth floor of the Soul Locking Tower.
The woman was wearing a bamboo green robe. She looked to be about thirty years old, with a stern and majestic face, and had the aura of a superior who was intimidating without even getting angry.
She is Danqing, the guardian of the Eight Gates Secret Realm.
