"I miscalculated."
Lu Chen felt helpless, but he had already been mentally prepared for this outcome.
Although the Palace Master of the Heavenly Demon Palace cannot be treated as a mere tool, she has lived for far too long and knows many secrets.
Moreover, once I have complete control of the Demon Suppression Tower in the future, I might be able to subdue her.
Let's just leave her here for now.
Lu Chen's consciousness returned to his body, and he looked at the door of the secret room in front of him. The door was tightly closed and could not be opened.
"Yan Ruyu, tell me how to open this secret chamber? Since you're trapped in the Demon Suppression Tower and can't get out anyway, this Heavenly Demon Secret Realm is useless to you."
"Hmph! You can't get out? Haha! You'll all be trapped here to die! You want me to tell you how to get out? Don't even think about it! Unless you let me leave the Demon-Suppressing Tower."
Yan Ruyu, on the contrary, put forward a condition.
But Lu Chen didn't care at all and said directly, "I don't believe that this dilapidated secret chamber can trap me. All demon beasts, get out and break down this secret chamber."
At Lu Chen's command, all the demonic beasts in the Demon Suppression Tower immediately set out.
This scene startled Yan Ruyu.
"No, no, no! I'll tell you! There's no need to destroy this secret room."
Yan Ruyu felt helpless. Although the Trial Tower of the Heavenly Demon Palace was very sturdy, it was, after all, only a place to select entry-level disciples.
Lu Chen and his group were the weakest, but with so many demonic beasts around him, especially the divine beast Hong Luan, they could easily cause great damage.
"You can open the door to this secret chamber by drawing the dragon blood you've absorbed along the patterns on the door."
Lu Chen did as Yan Ruyu instructed, and sure enough, the door to the secret chamber shook and then slowly opened.
Lu Chen returned to the third-floor main hall.
Meanwhile, the doors to the other three secret chambers remained tightly shut.
"Can the three of them still get out?"
Lu Chen frowned slightly. He could accept the Demon King and Elder Shi, but what about Situ Jing, the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect? Could she also die in this secret chamber? Lu Chen felt it was a pity.
It should be noted that Situ Jing is extremely talented and is likely a rare genius.
Well, of course, it's mainly because she's pretty.
"That demon king and that old man have already been refined into blood slaves by me. As for that little girl, sigh, I originally wanted to possess her."
Speaking of this, Yan Ruyu was filled with regret. If she hadn't been too greedy back then, and hadn't chosen the wrong target because of Lu Chen's powerful divine body, she wouldn't have ended up like this.
But it's no use saying all this now.
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen immediately laughed and said, "Let her out."
Yan Ruyu suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "I can release her, but can you send her to the Demon Suppression Tower so I can possess her body?"
"You're dreaming! Jingjing is way cuter than you."
Lu Chen looked at him with disdain.
"Then let her die in the secret room."
Yan Ruyu was very unhappy.
"Fine, don't tell me then. Hongluan, smash this temple for me."
Lu Chen would tear the house apart at the slightest disagreement.
"don't want."
Having no other choice, Yan Ruyu had to tell Lu Chen how to open the secret room from the outside.
Lu Chen opened the secret chamber where Situ Jing was in seclusion, and his eyes widened immediately upon seeing it.
Situ Jing's clothes were neatly folded and placed by the pool, while she herself was mainly in the spirit pool, with only her head showing, meditating with her eyes closed.
The spiritual energy around her surged, and through the clear, transparent liquid, Lu Chen was truly treated to a feast for the eyes.
Suddenly, Situ Jing opened her eyes.
"ah."
Upon seeing Lu Chen's blank stare, Situ Jing instinctively cried out in surprise and immediately grabbed her clothes from the poolside and put them on.
But at the crucial moment, she forgot that she actually had a magical battle suit, which could cover her entire body with a thought.
But at this crucial moment, Situ Jing hadn't thought of this at all.
How did you get in?
Situ Jing's face was full of anger.
Lu Chen shrugged and said helplessly, "How can I save you if I don't come in? Come out! This Heavenly Demon Strategy is fake; no matter how much you cultivate it, it's useless."
"Fake?"
Situ Jing looked shocked, but then frowned and said, "That's not right! Cultivating in this spirit pool is indeed useful; my cultivation level has improved very quickly!"
"Really? This spiritual liquid is quite extraordinary!"
Lu Chen walked over and took a look. To his surprise, it wasn't dragon blood inside. He asked inwardly, "Yan Ruyu, what's in here? Stop negotiating! If you say another word, I'll tear down your entire Heavenly Demon Palace!"
"Hmph! This is the Jade Snow Spirit Spring that I carefully prepared!" Yan Ruyu gritted her teeth.
"Azure Snow Spirit Spring?"
Lu Chen had never even heard of it, but that didn't matter, as long as it was a good product.
He walked straight over and collected all the spiritual spring water in the pool, then said to Situ Jing, "It's mine now! Consider it payment for saving you!"
"you……"
Situ Jing stared wide-eyed, but there was nothing she could do.
Then, Lu Chen walked out of the secret room and opened the other two secret rooms.
Sure enough, just as Yan Ruyu had said, there was something strange about these two secret rooms. Upon entering, Lu Chen immediately saw Elder Shi standing blankly to one side.
Elder Shi remained motionless, but his eyes had turned blood red, making him appear like a walking corpse, just like the resurrected demonic corpses he had encountered before.
"Is this what blood slaves are?"
Lu Chen was secretly alarmed. Fortunately, he had the Demon Suppression Tower, otherwise he would either have been possessed or turned into a blood slave.
