Jiang Li complimented her out of habit. The neatly dressed Shenshan Qiuhua formed a contrasting beauty with her petite figure, which gave him a somewhat novel feeling.

Although the little girl's face was still flushed, she was no longer shy and dodged in the face of Jiang Li's compliments.

The two of them flew into the air together and headed towards the location of the Demon-Suppressing Tower.

At the Five Elements Peak of Mount Shu, all the disciples and elders from top to bottom were flying swords, and the difference between their two legs and the decorations was not too big.

In addition, the terrain of these five mountains is too steep, and there are vertical cliffs in many places, which are not suitable for walking at all. You may have a height difference of hundreds of meters when visiting the next door. Therefore, there were no stairs designed here from the beginning.

This Demon-Suppressing Tower is not on top of the Five Peaks, but is located in a deep valley surrounded by the Five Peaks.

This place is suppressed by the combined formation of the Five Elements Sword Peaks. Once trapped inside, even the most ferocious demon will have no chance of escaping.

And even if the demons inside really escaped by some means, they would have to consider whether they could withstand the siege of the Shushan Five Elements Formation.

The two flew down from the top of Shuixing Peak. After passing through the clouds and fog, the air below became increasingly damp and dark.

When he fell to the ground, there was a strong evil spirit that made his scalp numb.

If a mortal were here, he would bleed to death on the spot if he didn't use it for a second. It was no less than the internal environment of the former Yin burial coffin.

Hey, there are plants growing here.

In such an environment filled with strong evil energy, it would be normal for no grass to grow, but there is a lot of grass growing here.

Jiang Li bent down and picked up a few flowers and plants on the ground. But as soon as these plants left the ground, they withered and died before he could observe them carefully.

This phenomenon is interesting, he has never seen it before.

He casually threw away the dry grass in his hand. Who would have thought that in the Five Elements Peak of Shu Mountain, which looked like a fairyland, there was such a dangerous place hidden.

However, this does not mean that there is rottenness or corruption.

Instead, he used his own mountain gate to suppress countless monsters and monsters, and silently guarded the peace of Dachong Mountain. This made him worthy of his status as the leader of the righteous Shushan.

Jiang Li was sighing silently when he suddenly thought of himself.

I, Jiang, have also been silently fighting against the terrible evil forces without being known to the world.

What is this spiritual root division and underwater cemetery?

Not long ago, he destroyed a sect of demonic cultivators that might make a comeback, and just now, he took in the corpse of an Asura that might cause trouble to Dazhongshan at any time.

Come to think of it, he has made so many contributions to the Dachongshan cultivation world, but he never said a word →_→. It turns out that I, Jiang Li, am also a great person who has transcended vulgar interests.

The two walked towards a white stone platform in the center of the valley.

In fact, in this valley, the only thing above the ground is this stone platform that is only about two meters high. There is no building that can be called a "tower".

Shenshan Qiuhua blinked and looked secretly at Jiang Li, preparing for him to ask questions.

Although Jiang Li had already learned some information about the Demon Suppression Tower through the memories of the sword cultivator's clone, after seeing the other party's expression, he deliberately opened his mouth and asked for advice from the little princess of the Shenshan family.

It turns out that this Demon-Suppressing Tower was not built upwards, but dug downwards, relying on the five peaks' earth veins. Its depth is unknown, and it is extremely solid.

After all, it is the place where the most vicious demons are imprisoned. It is absolutely impossible to trap them with normal buildings or magic weapons.

However, the cage cleverly built with the power of the earth veins is different. If you want to destroy the tower, you cannot do it unless you have the ability to interrupt the Shushan earth veins.

Jiang Li couldn't help but admire this. He wondered when his formation skills would reach the level where he could draw on the power of heaven and earth.

A huge spiritual formation was carefully carved on the stone platform. From his current perspective, he could see that this formation was a composite formation composed of at least seven different types of formations stacked on top of each other.

The level of sophistication and complexity is simply appalling.

And on the stone platform, there were densely packed talismans of various colors.

There are not many types of these talisman papers, and they are basically used to ward off evil spirits and break bad luck.

It can be seen that Shushan takes good care of this place every year to prevent too much evil energy from gathering in the tower.

But even so, there were too many monsters in the tower.

Walking into the stone platform, in the center, there was already a group of cultivators waiting there. Jiang Li also saw Chang Wanzhou standing next to Wei Wangxuan. In addition to him, there were eight other disciples from Shushan waiting.

Apparently they were also planning to enter the Demon-Suppressing Tower today.

The Demon-Suppressing Tower is of great importance, and every time it is opened, the elders of the five peaks must be present at the same time, and a peak master must preside over it personally.

The host today is naturally Wei Wangxuan and no one else.

Everyone waited quietly as the sun in the sky gradually rose higher until it was overhead.

Since the Five Elements Peaks of Mount Shu are all towering into the clouds, the sun can only be seen at noon during the day, which is also the only time when the Demon-Suppressing Tower can be opened.

The midday sun was blocked by layers of clouds in the mountains and was no longer as strong when it fell down, but it also brought the yang energy in the valley to its peak of the day.

The midday sun gradually illuminated the entire stone platform.

In the center of the stone platform, a five-element array plate embedded in it automatically lit up.

Jiang Li, a formation master, even felt a little dizzy when he saw the light. This meant that his current spiritual attributes were not enough to support him in understanding this formation.

Wei Wangxuan took out a token and took the lead in emitting a ray of light.

Afterwards, the other five peak elders successively released spiritual light in the order of the five elements.

After the five elements were all rotated and generated, the stone platform under his feet began to shake slightly. Amid the sound of stones rubbing against each other, the five elements array in the middle position slowly opened.

Just as a gap was opened, evil spirit that was ten times more intense than the surrounding environment gushed out.

Among the ten disciples, the weaker ones took two steps back in shock, and one even sat down on the ground. It can be seen that this evil spirit is really terrifying.

Among the disciples present, only a few who had awakened their sword hearts were able to remain calm.

"Remember! After you go down, don't touch anything you shouldn't touch! Monsters are cunning, don't communicate with them! And don't sympathize with them or trust them!"

"Remember to keep your mind steady and do what you can! If you are unable to continue after burning the incense stele, return immediately. Remember, you must not go below the third floor!"

"Wanzhou, you go in first."

After opening the tower entrance, Elder Wei repeatedly reminded everyone of the precautions and asked everyone to keep them in mind.

After all, there are countless vicious demons imprisoned in this Demon-Suppressing Tower. Even if they are all locked up tightly, we must still act with caution. If anything goes wrong, there will be big trouble.

Elder Wei asked Chang Wanzhou to take the lead. Chang Wanzhou showed no fear. He took two steps forward, took a look at the cave entrance that was still spewing murderous energy, and then jumped down.

With someone taking the lead, the disciples behind him became more courageous.

Ten Shushan disciples jumped into the tower one after another, but Elder Wei left Jiang Li as the last one.

After Shen Shanqiu painted, Jiang Liben wanted to follow closely, but was stopped by Elder Wei, who then handed a pentagonal token into his hand.

"You are just as restless as your master. This is the token to open the doors to the back floors of the Demon Suppression Tower."

"You are not my Shushan disciple, so I can't say much. But you still have to do what you can and don't try to be brave. Do you understand?"

Jiang Li touched the token and was pleasantly surprised. His master was truly trustworthy.

Jiang Li had previously learned about the general situation of the Demon Suppressing Tower and knew that under normal circumstances, Qi Refining disciples were not allowed to go below the third floor of the Demon Suppressing Tower.

The evil spirits there were too strong to be resisted by Qi Refining disciples. But Jiang Li naturally could not be satisfied with this.

At first he went to ask Elder Mu for help, but the other party refused Jiang Li's request for safety reasons.

Since Jiang Li was a disciple of Sutra Valley, Shushan naturally had to consider the issue of responsibility in case something went wrong and would not agree to his request.

This is the same reason why doctors must obtain family members' signatures before performing major surgery.

So Jiang Li had no choice but to send a communication spirit stone back to Sutra Valley and ask Elder He to communicate with Master Wei Feng.

Unexpectedly, it actually succeeded.

Perhaps in addition to Elder He's face, his performance in the Sword Cave of Questioning the Heart last time also made the peak master recognize his strength.

He was specially allowed to enter the tower last, so that he could be given some special treatment and not make other disciples feel unbalanced. This was very thoughtful.

After bowing and expressing his thanks, Jiang Li put away the iron plate and jumped down.

After Jiang Li went in, the five elders immediately reversed the five elements, and the array plate closed tightly with the sound of friction.

King Xuan of Wei waved his hand, and a golden pagoda shadow immediately appeared on the stone platform.

It can be seen that in the first floor of the Demon-Suppressing Tower, there are ten spots of light slowly flashing, and another spot of light is falling into the first floor from the passage.

"Master Wei Feng, no matter how strong Jiang Li is, he is only a Qi training disciple. Is it really possible for him to go down to the fourth level?"

An elder couldn't help but feel curious that Master Wei Feng would actually give the pass tokens for the later levels to a Qi Refining Stage disciple.

They are Shushan disciples who have a heart for swords, but only a handful of them can descend to the third floor of the Demon Suppression Tower every year.

The fourth level, or even more? Is it really possible? "This Jiang Li's swordsmanship is extraordinary, and he also has dragon blood in his body. We can't guess based on the average disciple."

Jiang Li was falling freely in the vertical passage. The violent airflow backflow made his clothes flutter.

A weaker Qigong practitioner, under the impact of this evil energy, would have his crotch wet at best, or faint on the spot at worst. For those who are timid and weak, it is possible that they would be killed directly.

But for Jiang Li, he felt almost nothing.

A few seconds later, Jiang Li's feet slammed to the ground with a bang, stirring up a cloud of dust around him.

He didn't even bother to cushion a fall from such a high height.

However, what surprised him was that the stone slab under his feet was not damaged at all and the material was extremely hard.

Not far away, ten Shushan disciples were still waiting there. Except for Chang Wanzhou and Shenshan Qiuhua, the faces of the others were somewhat pale.

Two of them even took off the flying swords on their backs and leaned them on the ground. They looked like they were having trouble breathing and were struggling.

In this Demon-Suppressing Tower, disciples do not need to fight with monsters.

In fact, the monsters at the Qi Refining Stage are not qualified to be locked up in the Demon Suppression Tower. The worst monster here is equivalent to a cultivator above the Foundation Establishment Stage.

But even so, it is still not an easy task to move around in this Demon-Suppressing Tower.

Seeing Jiang Li coming, Chang Wanzhou made a gesture, indicating that everyone should set off.

Everyone nodded and walked along the passage towards the tower monument on the first floor.

Tap~ Tap~ The footsteps of eleven people seemed particularly clear in the first layer of silence.

After turning two corners, they entered the cell area on the first floor.

The external noise obviously broke this layer of tranquility.

Pairs of glowing eyes lit up from the darkness in the cage, staring closely at the eleven people, with fierce and bloodthirsty light flashing in them.

He was breathing heavily, and a lot of foul-smelling air was coming out of his mouth and nose.

Bang! A wild boar demon suddenly rushed out from the darkness of the cage, and its huge body slammed into the metal fence.

The fence did not move at all, and the runes engraved on it were still glowing, burning the opponent's pig skin and causing thick smoke, and streams of lard flowed down the railings.

But the wild boar with red eyes seemed to be completely unaware. It rubbed its fangs against the fence and let out a smelly roar at the people.

A Shushan disciple was so frightened that he stepped back repeatedly and actually bumped into the prison door on the other side.

And from the shadows, a bare tail suddenly stretched out, instantly wrapped around the disciple's neck, and pulled in with all its strength.

The disciple was strangled so hard that his eyes rolled back and his cervical vertebrae creaked, as if they would break at any time.

Snap! A hand grabbed the tail.

Jiang Li stepped forward in time and grabbed the tail that was attacking him.

With a strong tug, the monster still hiding in the shadows was unable to resist the huge force and was pulled out directly, hitting the rune iron rod.

It was a skinny monkey demon with sparse hair and covered with scars, but its ferocious nature was still the same.

Although the monsters that have reached this level, like the foundation-building monks, no longer need to eat to sustain their lives, their desire for blood has not changed.

Whenever a living person passes by, they will bite him/her at all costs.

After the Shushan disciples escaped, Jiang Li did not let it go easily. He exerted force again and tore the opponent's tail off. The monkey demon fell to the ground with a wail and retreated back into the shadows in embarrassment.

This monkey demon was very weak. Even a sneak attack could not directly kill a weak Shushan disciple, let alone wrestle with Jiang Li.

After all, the Demon-Suppressing Tower is not a nursing home. If you stay here for a long time, your spiritual energy will be slowly drained away by the formation and you will become weaker and weaker.

"Brother Chen, are you okay?"

Chang Wanzhou put away the golden sword a step too late and hurried forward to help the disciple up.

"Ahem, I'm fine. I'm fine."

Although the disciple was timid, he was actually quite tough. After coughing up some blood from his throat, he did not rush to heal his wounds, but instead stood up and thanked Jiang Li first.

"Junior Brother Jiang Li, thank you for your help. Please accept my greeting."

"It's okay, it's just a small favor. We are all fellow disciples and brothers, we should help each other, you don't deserve this."

This incident made everyone more vigilant.

Chang Wanzhou repeatedly reminded everyone to be careful before heading deeper into the cave again.

As we went deeper, the strong smell of wild beasts became more pungent.

Jiang Li also gradually discovered that the cells were also arranged according to a formation, which was even more confusing than a maze. Without special instructions, it would be hard to say whether one could return by the same route, let alone find the target.

Chang Wanzhou, who was walking in the front, led the way with a token. Jiang Li looked at the token in his hand and saw a ray of light indicating the direction.

After all, the first level of the Demon Suppression Tower only held demons in the Foundation Establishment Stage. As long as you were a little brave, it wouldn't be difficult at all.

They soon reached their destination, where the first tower monument was located.

A stone block, more than two people tall and with a slightly strange shape, was emitting spiritual light. Several chains were wrapped around it, tightly connecting the tower monument to the formation of the first level of the Demon-Suppressing Tower.

There is no doubt that this tower monument is the core of the formation.

There is a cushion placed in front of the tower monument, which is where the opportunity in the tower lies.

After all, it is a benefit for our own disciples. Although there are difficulties, as long as you are careful, there is no danger at all.

"Junior Brother Jiang, please go first."

"You are a guest, and you just helped save Junior Brother Chen, so please don't refuse."

Chang Wanzhou took out three incense sticks, lit them and inserted them into the incense burner in front of the cushion, but he did not sit down himself. Instead, he gave the seats to Jiang Li first.

The Shushan disciples were all looking at him, even the disciples with frighteningly pale faces had firm expressions and were full of humility.

"Well, okay, I won't be polite then."

Jiang Li nodded and stopped refusing. He stepped forward first and sat cross-legged on the cushion.

As the incense stick burned, a strange energy was drawn out from the stone tablet. An iron chain in front of it began to glow from the end of the stone tablet, and spread along the chain to the remaining cushion of Jiang Li.

The next moment, Jiang Li felt a force different from spiritual energy surging into his body.
