Chapter 123 Trial Tower
Ye Tanji returned with his men, and Steward Feng reported: "The Bronze Gate has been under attack. Although the heads of the nine great families have been working together to inject spiritual power, most of the defensive runes you reinforced have been destroyed."
"Alright, I understand. You take Xi'er's family and friends, along with these hundred purple demons, into the Trial Tower. Make sure they break through as soon as possible." Ye Tanji pointed to the Yu Shan family and the hundred purple demons he had brought.
"Yes, I will take them there immediately," said Steward Feng.
His heart was in turmoil.
Miss Bai Xi's friends and family were allowed to enter the Trial Tower, which was due to the Palace Master's favoritism towards her, but the fact that these Purple Demons were allowed to enter was truly unexpected.
Steward Feng remembered that the Palace Master once said, "Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts."
The Fine Demon Clan of the Dust Continent has always lived in barren lands. Limited by the Heavenly Dao of the Lower Realm, their highest achievement in life is only Purple Demon, which is equivalent to the peak of the Heavenly Realm. They can't cause any great trouble at all.
But now, the Palace Master is actually going to let these purple demons enter the Trial Tower, which means that they will break through to a higher realm.
As for what this realm was, Steward Feng didn't know either, after all, they were from a different race.
However, with a formidable enemy at hand, even if it's an alien race, as long as we can fight together against a powerful foe, it's worth risking our strength to improve.
Ye Tanji watched Xi'er's departing figure, his eyes filled with heartache. The hardships in the Trial Tower would be difficult for even a strong-willed man to endure, let alone a delicate young lady like her.
He had only recently reunited with Xi'er, so even though he knew he should help her improve her strength, he couldn't bear to let her suffer.
But with a major battle imminent, it will be too late if we don't improve our strength now.
Ye Tanjiu allowed Xi'er's friends and family to enter the Trial Tower, though he had his own selfish motives.
Those around her will undoubtedly fight to the death to protect her on the battlefield; their increased combat strength will provide her with greater security.
He was indeed a powerful fighter, but he couldn't protect her every moment.
He had even considered forcibly breaking through the void and teleporting her to another universe, disregarding her wishes.
But the result of doing so would be that he would completely lose her coordinates, and in the vast sky, he would never be able to find any trace of her again.
Once she awakens her past life memories in the future, she will surely suffer the pain he has endured for the past 30,000 years.
This kind of protection is definitely not what she wants.
If that's the case, why not live and die together with her, just like 30,000 years ago?
After making his decision, Ye Tanji reinforced the runes on the bronze door once more, wanting to buy as much time as possible so that Xi'er and her friends and family could break through.

As soon as everyone stepped into the trial tower, they sensed the rich spiritual energy emanating from it.
The purple demons were incredibly excited. They had been born on the Dust Continent, where spiritual energy was scarce, and had never experienced such abundant spiritual power before.
Even those like Yu Shan, who came from the Misty Heaven Realm, found it utterly unbelievable.
It turns out that there really are such places in this world, where spiritual energy rushes into the body even without actively absorbing it.
However, the Trial Tower is not a place where one can quietly absorb spiritual energy. Before everyone could recover from this huge surprise, they felt a blur before their eyes.
Then, everyone was separated and teleported to different places.
Xiao Bai felt his hands suddenly go empty at the same time; the feather fan he was holding in his left hand and Xi'er he was holding in his right hand had both disappeared.
Before entering the Trial Tower, he had no idea what he was about to face.
He instinctively took the hands of the family members he wanted to protect most, but he only had two hands, so he took the hands of his wife and daughter.
As for his bratty son, Achen, he's already an adult. He doesn't need his father to hold his hand at all. Instead, as a man, he holds the hand of his partner, Nie Xiaoxiao.
Before Xiao Bai could even worry about his wife and children being in danger, a menacing monster pounced on him.
Its powerful aura, accompanied by a heart-stopping roar, would probably scare the faint of heart.
Xiao Bai had already been through countless battles on Green Algae Star. His fighting instincts made him roll to the side and dodge the monster's sharp claws.
At the same time, he waved his hand and unleashed dozens of ice spikes.
The seemingly random ice spikes actually correspond to the Four Symbols Trapping Dragon Formation.
This is a move he created in his spare time during his ten years on the Dust Continent.
Due to the suppression of the Heavenly Dao of the Dust Continent, the cultivation levels of this group were all suppressed to the peak of the Heavenly Realm, and they could no longer break through.
He felt he had to find a way to improve his attack techniques, which is why he combined simple ice spikes into a powerful array.
With the enhancement of the formation, the originally simple ice spike attack became at least five times more powerful.
This is also the fundamental reason why formation masters can overcome stronger opponents with weaker ones.
