The Demon-Sealing Tower.
The ninth floor.
Moye was drawn into the tower by a suction force.
He rolled on the ground and landed quickly, drawing his demon sword to prepare for battle.
He looked around.
No trace of monsters was found.
Moye remained vigilant, holding the Demon Sword in one hand and placing the other on her treasure pouch, cautiously walking forward.
The air inside the tower was somewhat oppressive, filled with a strong demonic aura.
Mysterious and ancient runes were carved on the walls and the ground.
Every now and then, you can see fur and dried bloodstains scattered on the ground.
But,
Even after reaching the end of the ninth floor, Mo Xie did not see a single monster.
However, judging from the various auras, there must have been monsters living here for a long time.
"Strange...aren't they saying there are monsters on every floor?"
Mo Xie shook his head without thinking much of it and entered the tunnel to head to the next level.
The interior of the Demon-Sealing Tower is exceptionally spacious.
Mo Xie continued downwards.
It took a long time to get down to the third floor.
Moreover, he did not see a single monster during this time.
"Could it be that all the monsters have died out due to the passage of time?"
Mo Xie shook his head and chuckled, thinking that the possibility was almost zero.
After all, none of Qingwei's old men are old enough to be senile yet!
Just then,
He suddenly heard a burst of laughter.
Mo Xie looked up with a sharp gaze; the energy was coming from the second level!
"Someone... no, a demon!"
Holding the Demon Sword, Mo Xie slowly walked into the passage leading to the second level.
At the corner leading to the second floor, Mo Xie secretly observed.
Two weasel-like monsters, each wielding a spear, were seen guarding the entrance, chatting and laughing.
"How long do you think it will take for the king and his entourage to finish their feast?"
"I don't know. In the past, when the Demon Emperor celebrated his birthday, he would drink until he was drunk for three days and three nights!"
"Sigh, it's tough on us subordinates!"
"You should be grateful! It's only during the Demon Emperor's birthday celebrations that we can at least get some soup and broth!"
"It's all those old fogies from Mount Shu's fault for imprisoning us in this dilapidated tower! Back in the day, we brothers would have been regional commanders, not gatekeepers here!"
"Alas, even the Demon Generals can only serve tea and water at banquets, so what are we, mere commanders, compared to them?"
...
Mo Xie looked around and found that there were no other monsters nearby.
He nodded slightly and leaped out.
"Sword, slash!"
He threw the demon sword directly with his right hand.
"ah!"
The weasel monster let out a miserable scream and was nailed to the wall.
Meanwhile,
Mo Xie's left hand instantly gripped the neck of another demon, pinning it firmly against the wall.
Thump!
He first punched the monster, making it cry out in pain.
"Don't make a sound. I'll ask, you answer!" he whispered.
"Mmm..." The monster trembled and nodded hurriedly.
"Is it because of your Demon Emperor's birthday celebration that there are no demons on the first seven floors of the tower?"
"Yes."
"How strong is the Demon Emperor?"
"The Demon Emperor possesses unparalleled power, capable of moving mountains and filling seas!"
"If you were that strong, you wouldn't be locked up here!" Mo Xie sneered. "Then what about the Demon King's strength?"
"The Demon King is incredibly powerful, possessing an aura that can swallow mountains and rivers!"
"I think you're used to flattering people..." Mo Xie sneered, gradually increasing the pressure of her pinch.
"Ugh... In this tower, the Demon Emperor and the Demon King haven't made a move for over a thousand years. I... I don't know their strength..." the weasel demon said with difficulty.
Seeing that it didn't seem to be fake, Mo Xie asked again, "Do you have any treasures in your tower?"
In his opinion, Qingwei's decision to send him into the Demon-Locking Tower to find the so-called method of saving the world was probably some kind of magical artifact.
The weasel said blankly, "There's no treasure..."
"Alright..." Mo Xie exerted force and snapped him to death with a crack.
"No treasure?"
"Then where is this so-called method of saving the world?"
Mo Xie kicked the weasel's corpse to a secluded spot, curled his lip, and said, "These old guys just like to play mysterious games. They called me in without telling me what I was looking for!"
Little did he know that even Qingwei herself didn't know what kind of world-saving method was hidden in the Demon-Locking Tower; she had only allowed Moxie to enter by relying on the divination of the Qiankun Mirror.
Mo Xie shook his head, reached out and summoned back the Demon Sword, heading towards the bottom of the Demon Locking Tower.
"Let's take it one step at a time and see what happens. Opportunities are always in the unknown!"
...
Mo Xie relied on the 'Bewitching Powder' from her treasure pouch, which could conceal her scent.
They would either hide or fight, and if they couldn't avoid it, they would kill.
Finally, without disturbing the demons, they arrived at the entrance to the passage leading to the lowest level.
At the entrance, there were also two monsters guarding it.
However, these two monsters were quite powerful, and Mo Xie had to pay the price of minor injuries to subdue them.
"What treasures are inside the tower? If you can't tell me, you'll die!"
He held the demonic sword across the monster's head and said coldly.
This monster is probably the so-called demon general, and should know quite a bit.
"treasure?"
The wolf demon swallowed hard, deep in thought, and said, "If we're talking about the most precious thing in the entire tower, it's probably the Soul-Devouring Banner in the Demon Emperor's hands, isn't it?"
"Back then, the Demon Emperor used the Soul-Devouring Banner to devour the souls of millions of people in the mortal realm!"
"The Soul-Devouring Banner?" Mo Xie's eyes lit up. "This calamity was caused by ghosts. Perhaps the so-called method of saving the world really is this thing?"
