"Hmph."

Guan Liyuan froze for a moment, then looked back... and found that Jingtian and Xuejian were just looking at him in confusion, as if they hadn't heard anything at all.

Guan Liyuan: ???

Are you dissatisfied with Jingtian's clinging to you and causing him to neglect his cultivation?

But you should "hmph" Jingtian about this, right? Why was it only me who heard it?

I think you are making things difficult for me, Guan Liyuan!

Do you want to threaten me?

Is the Demon Lord so great? My fate is in my own hands, not in the hands of God!

I, Guan Liyuan, have done things all my life, so why should I explain to anyone...

Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, don't bully the poor young!

We are born free, who dares to be high above us?

If I die in battle, don't bury my bones...

"Jingtian, you have neglected your cultivation recently, you solve it... Now I'm helping you get the sword, and you'll have to do it yourself later. Every time I help you... I'll take a commission of 10,000 taels!" Guan Liyuan said seriously.

That’s right, Guan Liyuan doesn’t care about whether he is a demon lord or not. Even if Chonglou appears in front of him, Guan Liyuan dares to point his nose and tell him that no matter you are red-haired, yellow-haired or green-haired, I, Guan Liyuan, am not afraid of you!

But...

as Jingtian’s friend, Guan Liyuan believes that he has the responsibility to urge him to practice, so at this time he still chooses to let him do it himself. He will not deliberately let Jingtian neglect his practice just to vent his anger. After all, Guan Liyuan is a principled person.

Jingtian: ??? ?

Boss Jing naturally doesn’t buy into this kind of forced buying and selling, but what Guan Liyuan said is not unreasonable - this is to take his demon-suppressing sword!

"I didn't say I must have that sword..." Jingtian whispered.

"Well? Then shall we go out now? Tell the five elders of Shushan that although the Demon-Suppressing Sword is needed to restrain the Evil Sword Immortal, you are a coward and you are leaving without even entering the eighth floor? When you open a pawnshop in the future, I will definitely give you a plaque with the word 'coward' on it! No... When the Evil Sword Immortal wreaks havoc in the mortal world, you will not have the opportunity to open a pawnshop. Then just hide in Green Rose Mountain!" Guan Liyuan said earnestly.

Jingtian understood Guan Liyuan's good intentions from his persuasion (xie) (po), and after bargaining down to five thousand taels, he began to fight with the big bat...

Guan Liyuan's judgment was very accurate. In terms of realm, Jingtian was only at the perfect Gangfeng realm, while the big bat had survived a thunder tribulation, but... the big bat was corroded by the demon-transforming water and had little demonic energy left. It was almost fighting with only a half-crippled body, while Jingtian was far better than the ordinary perfect Gangfeng realm. In the end, it was a "fight" situation, not a one-sided one!

Jingtian used his body skills to dodge the big bat's attacks. If he resisted head-on, Jingtian might not be able to bear it. However, it was Jingtian who kept injuring the other party.

In particular, the devouring effect of the "magic sword" gradually took effect. Jingtian became more and more energetic, but the big bat became weaker and weaker under the dual effects of the magic sword's injury and the breath of the demon water...

After a meal, Jingtian finally inserted the magic sword into the big bat's head. At the same time, his own spirit became more and more full, completing a wave of monster-killing upgrades!

Immediately, the group came to the eighth floor...

As Red Dragon Kui said, starting from the eighth floor, the structure of the Locking Demon Tower became anti-human!

The entire eighth floor is a big circle with small circles, layer by layer, dizzying, even Guan Liyuan's white eyes can't see through the killing monster stone.

Although the content is very low, it is still infected with the blood of the double-digit Chaos Realm Holy Beasts of the past, and the number of beasts below the Holy Beasts is countless...

Even if there is nothing,

it's a good thing that Zi Xuan pretends to release the Gu worm and then starts to lead the way, otherwise Guan Liyuan and others don't know how long it will take to go around. Along the way,

Jingtian is still responsible for the battle. Only when he can't hold on, Guan Liyuan will intervene with a five thousand taels appearance fee-every time Guan Liyuan takes action, Boss Jing's heart hurts more than being licked by a bear monster! After

entering the eighth floor, the breath of the demon water has decreased compared to the overall level of the ninth floor, but it is higher than the level at the entrance and exit.

And in the eighth floor, there are also "strongholds" with a faint breath of demon water, which often gather a large number of demons...

"Is Shushan deliberately letting these demons kill each other?" Xuejian said with disdain.

"To be precise, it's not Shushan, but the God Realm." Guan Liyuan said.

That's right, these strongholds can accommodate a limited number of demons, and once the limit is exceeded, the concentration of demon water will increase!

Naturally, small groups were formed in the tower, fighting and competing with each other, making the situation of the demon clan, which was already eroded by the demon water, even more difficult.

Although they didn't know Li Shushan, they thought that staying would only lead to death, but it was better to die later than early!

Therefore, in the Demon Locking Tower, a number of demon clan strongholds were formed...

Even if Zi Xuan led the way, they could try to bypass them, but there were still some that could not be avoided.

Some scattered demon clans were fine, because they were restricted by the demon water and their strength was not good, and they could not release their spiritual consciousness, which made the "sneak attack" that could not be achieved outside very easy to do in the Demon Locking Tower, and those demon clan strongholds... Boss Jing had already written four IOUs of five thousand taels!

What's more "insidious" is that it seems that the exit of each floor is the place where the demon water is the thinnest in this floor, which is the most comfortable place for the demon clan, but it can only accommodate one demon clan!

Naturally, it is the most powerful demon clan in a layer.

On the eighth floor, there is a rat demon. It is supposed to be weaker than a big bat, but its movements are very agile.

Guan Liyuan suspected that the reason why it was able to occupy this place was because the spiritual awareness of other big demons was limited here, and they would be assassinated by it sooner or later!

However, Jingtian's spiritual awareness was not limited, so it was easier to fight against this rat demon than against a bat. Although it was also a hard fight, there was no fifth IOU...

Entering the seventh floor, Zixuan wanted to lead the way normally, but suddenly said while walking: "No! The maze here is a two-way ritual, and the two yin and yang just transformed!"

"Huh? What is the two-way transformation?" Guan Liyuan asked in confusion.

"It means that there are two different sets of paths, entangled together, and they will transform into each other over time...'Just now' it was transformed from the Yin style to the 'Yang style', and my Gu worm also got lost." Zixuan said and glanced at Guan Liyuan.

Therefore, Guan Liyuan understood this sentence by himself as "the road has become different from the last time", but the time of change may not be "just now" - the last time Zixuan came to the Locking Demon Tower was a year ago!

"Then we can only... turn left? Mark slowly?" Guan Liyuan asked.

Half of the maze was walked along the wall... For example, every time there was a fork in the road that allowed you to turn left, you would turn left. When you encountered a dead end, you would also walk out along the left wall. You would always have to walk out, and at most you would just go around a little.

"No, we can first find the connection point between the Yin style and the Yang style." Zixuan said.

After walking around the seventh floor for a long time, every time there was a fork in the road, Zixuan would often mutter something and explain something, which seemed to be related to the hexagram. In short, Guan Liyuan and the other two were all confused and felt that it was powerful - it was right to bring Zixuan with them, otherwise they didn't know how long it would take!

"Huh? There is someone in front... No, it's a monster... The smell of the monster water here is very strong." Xuejian pointed to the intersection of the four roads in front and said.

"This monster... doesn't seem to have the smell of blood." Jingtian said.

A monster with a body of water blue and a female human form stood there, turning a deaf ear to the arrival of Guan Liyuan and others, as if she had been standing there for a long, long time, just waiting for the person she cared about...
