Chapter 40 Quickly Transmigrate! Conquer the Handsome Demon King (46)
Looking around, the tall bookshelves extend into the dim depths, filled with densely packed ancient books, as if frozen in time, silently telling the long history.
Here is the library of the immortal cultivation sect.
How did we get here suddenly?
Why did the power of the "meteor" bring us here?
A series of questions swirled in my mind.
Liang Xu held my hand tightly, and said in a low voice with a hint of uneasiness: "It seems that the power of 'Meteor' is far more complicated than we imagined." I nodded, and my doubts deepened.
The door of the library was tightly closed. The heavy wooden door was carved with complex runes, emitting faint fluctuations of spiritual energy.
I took a deep breath, suppressed my anxiety, and was about to try to use my spiritual power to open the door, when suddenly, an old voice rang out behind us: "Who are you? How dare you break into the library!"
We turned around suddenly and saw an old man in a purple robe standing behind us. His hair and beard were all white, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and he exuded powerful spiritual pressure from his body. He was obviously a cultivator with profound cultivation.
The purple-robed old man looked at us fiercely, and finally stopped at Liang Xu. His tone was full of hostility: "As an immortal cultivator, you actually colluded with the devil. This is really an unforgivable crime!"
I was startled and explained quickly, "Senior, we did not mean to trespass, it's just..." Before I could finish my words, the old man in purple robe interrupted me, "Shut up! The library is a restricted area, and we won't allow evil people like you to get close! Today, I will execute you on the spot!" As he finished speaking, a light flashed in his hand, and a long sword emitting a cold light appeared and pointed directly at us.
Liang Xu and I looked at each other, and both saw solemnity in each other's eyes.
It seems that a fierce battle is inevitable.
The purple-robed old man's cultivation is far superior to ours, so it may not be easy for him to escape unscathed.
I secretly mobilized my spiritual power and prepared for the battle.
At this moment, I suddenly felt a strange spiritual power wave coming from deep inside the library. This wave...
It feels very familiar, but I can't remember where I've felt it before.
I subconsciously looked at Liang Xu, but found that he was also looking at me with the same confusion in his eyes.
"Wait," I said to stop the purple-robed old man who was about to take action, "I feel..."
"I feel..." I said in a low voice, my eyes fixed on the depths of the library, "there seems to be something calling me there."
Liang Xu understood what he meant, and a gleam of light flashed in his dark eyes.
He flipped his wrist, and a cloud of black mist appeared out of thin air, quickly spreading towards the purple-robed old man.
The old man was caught off guard and his vision was briefly obscured by the black mist.
Right now!
I seized the opportunity and pulled Liang Xu towards the depths of the library.
My special spiritual perception tells me that the strange fluctuation is deep down. The ancient book we have been searching for might be there!
"How can this be possible!" The purple-robed old man roared, and the black mist dissipated. He had seen through our intentions. The long sword in his hand shone brightly, and sharp sword energy attacked us like a torrential rain.
I pulled Liang Xu and moved between the narrow bookshelves, dodging the sword attacks.
Liang Xu continued to release magic power, forming a series of protective walls to resist the old man's attack.
In the library, sword energy was everywhere, the bookshelves were shaking, books were falling like snowflakes, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of torn paper.
"A mere trifle!" The purple-robed old man snorted coldly and swung the sword in his hand. An even more powerful sword energy rushed towards us.
I was filled with fear. The power of this sword energy was far beyond what I had experienced before. If I took it head-on, I would be in big trouble.
At the critical moment, Liang Xu pushed me away and endured the blow alone.
He groaned, and a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
"Liang Xu!" I exclaimed and supported his staggering body.
He smiled at me, but there was a hint of determination in his eyes: "Feng Ziang, I'm fine. Go and find the book!"
I looked at his determined eyes, feeling mixed emotions.
He knew that the book was the key to whether we could stop the demonization and also to our common future.
I took a deep breath, helped Liang Xu to a relatively safe place, then turned around resolutely and continued to run towards the depths of the library.
Behind him, there was the sound of Liang Xu and the purple-robed old man fighting fiercely, as well as the "clattering" sound of books constantly falling.
My heartbeat was getting faster and faster, and the strange fluctuations of spiritual power were getting stronger and stronger.
Just as I was about to reach the deepest part of the library, I suddenly stopped.
What I see before my eyes is no longer a tall bookshelf, but a smooth wall.
On the wall, there is a line of ancient words engraved: The Gate of Life and Death, one step to heaven, one step to hell.
I reached out and touched the cold wall, and suddenly a bad feeling came over me...
"Liang Xu..."
"Wait," I said to stop the purple-robed old man who was about to take action, "I feel..." I feel...
"My voice was low, but my eyes were fixed on the depths of the library," There seems to be something calling me there. "
Right now!
I seized the opportunity and pulled Liang Xu towards the depths of the library.
My special spiritual perception tells me that the strange spiritual power fluctuation is deep down. The ancient book we have been searching for may be there!
I reached out and touched the cold wall, and suddenly a bad feeling came over me.
Just then, I noticed an inconspicuous mechanism on one side of the wall that seemed to be able to activate something.
I quickly put my finger into the groove of the mechanism and turned it gently.
After a slight "click" sound, the wall slowly separated to the sides, revealing a secret passage.
"Found it!" I turned around excitedly and looked at Liang Xu, only to find that he had already dealt with the old man in purple robe and was walking towards me.
The old man in purple robe was trapped in place by an invisible force field and could not move.
"Hurry, go in!" Liang Xu said hurriedly, and we quickly walked through the passage and came to a hidden room.
In the middle of the room, an old book lay quietly on the stone table, emitting a faint light.
I walked forward and carefully picked up the book, with an indescribable joy welling up in my heart.
At this moment, a shrill alarm suddenly sounded outside the library, as if countless dangers were approaching us.
"Hurry up!" Liang Xu grabbed my hand and we quickly returned along the passage. The alarms behind us were getting louder and louder, like a death warrant from the god of death...
The alarm outside the library became increasingly shrill, making my eardrums buzz.
Liang Xu pulled me and we ran all the way, with the shouting and screaming behind us getting closer and closer.
Finally, the stone gate at the end of the passage appeared before our eyes.
Liang Xu split the stone door open with one palm, and a pungent fishy smell hit my face, almost suffocating me.
This... is the magic laboratory?
The scene before me gave me chills.
In the dim space, there was a strange green light flashing, and the air was filled with a nauseating smell, like rotting meat mixed with some kind of chemical.
