Chapter 279: What exactly happened at number 279?
Red Sun eventually met his end, obliterated. Only a pitch-black sword was left in his place.
Gu Yang retrieved the sword, which was converted directly into points.
[15 points have been gained, with a current balance of 619 points.]
The grand Unleaking Realm was surprisingly impoverished, not even owning a single extraordinary divine weapon.
In contrast, in the Water Moon Cave, cultivators of the Nascent Soul would each at least have a Magic Treasure, and generally several Spirit Tools as well.
Compared to these, killing those in the Great Zhou’s Unleaking Realm proved to have the lowest cost efficiency, challenging to kill and being penniless.
After Gu Yang processed the spoils of war, he turned to look at Ling Ling and noticed that her current situation was a bit grim.
After she threw out the green sphere, the Magic Array in the middle started emitting black mists, gradually corroding the green light.
She was continuously pouring her True Essence into the sphere, barely managing to hold on.
At this moment, her True Essence was being consumed drastically, and she began to sweat from her forehead, struggling to keep up.
Suddenly, the black mist around them exploded, gobbling up the bundle of green light, and morphed into a venomous snake, dashing towards Ling Ling.
Her face paled, attempting to dodge, but her severe consumption of True Essence made her one step too late.
The bundle of black mist was about to hit her.
Swish!
A figure appeared and slashed the black mist in half.
Ling Ling felt a hand clutching her waist, and she found herself being held in someone’s arms.
“Let’s go.”
Gu Yang’s voice sounded in her ear, and she was taken into the black mist. A blaze of red fire around her instantly incinerated any approaching black mist.
She quickly cried out, “Sky Pearl!”
Gu Yang responded immediately, cutting a path through the black mist and revealing the pearl ensnared by it.
He reached out and grabbed the green pearl.
Whoosh!
The two activated the array and were teleported away.
Before leaving, a furious voice echoed faintly from inside the Demon Suppression Tower, “You dare——”
“How did they disappear?”
In the outside world, Pei Qianlan’s face changed when Gu Yang and Ling Ling’s aura disappeared. She anxiously asked.
Wu Er subtly furrowed his eyebrows and said, “They entered the Demon Suppression Tower. There’s no need to worry. The young lad Gu once got trapped in it before and escaped quickly.”
Although he said this, he was not very certain inside.
Red Sun wasn’t foolish; he used the Demon Suppression Tower to confine Gu Yang last time and wasn’t successful. He must have strong confidence in bringing it out again this time.
“Kid, what on earth are you up to? Don’t capsize your boat in a gutter!”
Wu Er’s abundant battle experience told him that Gu Yang deliberately got caught by Red Sun and brought into the Demon Suppression Tower.
With the situation earlier, Gu Yang could have employed many ways to escape with Ling Ling.
The two anxiously waited at their original spot.
This wait lasted for quarter of an hour.
The Demon Suppression Tower was still quietly floating in the sky.
Surrounding it, all the mortals of Red Venerate Religious Sect were waiting for the return of their leader’s victory.
In their view, once Gu Yang was imprisoned in the Demon Suppression Tower, he was as good as butchered meat on a chopping board.
Their leader was at Unleaking level, and he could control the treasure. How difficult could it be to kill a mortal cultivator?
Suddenly the Demon Suppression Tower shook, a band of green light lit up, and thick black smoke began to rise from the top.
Neither Red Venerate’s followers nor Wu Er knew why such a bizarre event was happening to the Demon Suppression Tower.
After a moment, a giant black vortex appeared in the sky.
Seeing this, all the followers of Red Venerate prostrated on the ground. Many faces showed a fanatical look.
This was their god!
They sensed the presence of their god.
“Not good!”
Upon the appearance of that aura, Wu Er’s expression changed drastically. He grabbed Pei Qianlan’s arm, “Run!”
“But…”
“If you stay here, you will just hinder Gu.”
Wu Er anxiously said this without considering her feelings, given the urgency of the situation.
Feeling a tremor in her heart, Pei Qianlan realized he was right and stopped hesitating, following him to flee.
“Where is this?”
