The surrounding area had already been flattened.
After a long while, Chen Yuan and the others, who had escaped the danger zone, cautiously returned, only to see a nine-story small tower standing on the ground, about the height of a person.
"Where is Senior Wushuang?" Jiang Shang asked in confusion.
Xiang Yang approached the nine-story pagoda, circling around it with a strange tone, "The aura from this pagoda is stronger than that of a treasure. It should be a supre treasure. Given Brother Wushuang's current strength, I'm afraid things don't look good for him!" "What are you talking about? Aren't you all friends of Senior Wushuang? Why aren't you rescuing him right away?" Chen Yuan stood anxiously on the side.
"Rescue?" Xiang Yang sighed, "What do you expect to use for a rescue?"
His strength wasn't even on par with Jian Wushuang's. Although his thought power was strong, without the divine arts from burning secret thods, he could at best rival so late- stage Golden Core cultivators.
And what lay before them was a supre treasure.
A treasure that even an immortal like Yinxian could use, and no one in this world could fully activate it.
The divine arts that the Nine Dust Immortal used likely only involved one of the levels within the nine-story pagoda.
Moreover, its full power hadn't been unleashed. If all the power of the first level were controlled, it would be enough to destroy this world.
"But what do we do now!" Chen Yuan was worried and helpless.
At this mont, the Left Guardian Tong Shan, who had been protecting him, said, "With such a significant incident, I suggest Young Master Chen return to Tai'an City with first. I believe His Majesty will send soone to investigate the aftermath, as this situation has already exceeded our limits. Continuing further will likely yield no results!"
After this battle, Tong Shan was also sowhat terrified. If he hadn't run fast enough just now, he would have been sucked into the Nine Prison Tower and instantly torn apart. "Leaving already?"
A voice suddenly rang out from behind, and everyone couldn't help but turn their heads to look.
It was the alluring Saintess of the Centipede Tribe.
This ti, all the powerful mbers of the Centipede Tribe, including the giant centipede controlled by the Saintess, had perished, leaving only her alive.
But she was also injured at this mont.
Tong Shan looked down on her and sneered, "You're just a minor Golden Core cultivator. Do you think you can stop ?"
Although he had suffered significant injuries, dealing with an injured Golden Core cultivator was still a piece of cake.
However, in his mind, if he could avoid fighting, he would. Who knew if there were any hidden tricks left, and if he were to fall here, it would be a huge loss.
"I may be just a minor Golden Core cultivator, but I still have this!" The Centipede Saintess shook a cloth bag in her hand, with the Centipede Totem marked on it.
As she spoke, she squeezed the bag and slowly approached, her tone filled with nace, "You may be able to kill a Golden Core cultivator now, but can you escape from a Nascent Soul Centipede?"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Your life-bound centipede has already self-destructed! The Saintess of the Centipede Tribe can only cultivate one life-bound centipede. The rest can't compare to the life-bound centipede. You must be bluffing!" Tong Shan's face changed dramatically as he backed away.
"Even if it's not as powerful as a life-bound centipede, as long as it has the strength of a late- stage Golden Core, we can still keep you here!"
At this mont, Yang Xiao also stepped forward.
Everyone else had died.
Among those remaining, apart from the Left Guardian Tong Shan, the targets were almost the sa, and Chen Yuan wasn't important.
So, as long as they killed the Left Guardian Tong Shan, they could still take Chen Yuan to Mangshan County City.
"Yang Xiao, I am the Left Guardian of the Zhanxian Guard. I am taking Chen Yuan back to Tai'an City. Do you dare defy orders?" Tong Shan no longer had the courage to rely on his strength and could only try to suppress Yang Xiao with his official position.
Yang Xiao, however, remained indifferent. He casually took out the Zhanxian Guard's token from his waist and threw it directly to Tong Shan, saying nonchalantly, "Then I'll quit right now. As a commoner, I'll kill you, this court lackey!"
"You're rebelling? Aren't you afraid of causing trouble for Wei Jiuxian?" Tong Shan was now utterly panicked.
Apart from Chen Yuan, there were two other formidable figures on the scene. If these people joined forces to attack him, he would be dood.
He definitely didn't want to die here.
After finally climbing to the rank of a pseudo-Infant stage cultivator and becoming a superpower, it had been his lifelong dream. For this dream, he was willing to give up
everything.
Loyalty, righteousness, and reason-all could be abandoned.
The only thing he cherished was his own life.
Sensing the situation had turned against him, he imdiately began to soften his stance.
"Yang Xiao, no matter what, we are still fellow disciples. Do we really need to reach this point? Let's take a step back-I can pretend nothing happened!"
"You sure know how to back down quickly, but it's too late!" Xiang Yang drew his sword and made his move.
The saintess of the Qianzu tribe also untied her bag, and a blood-red centipede flew out. This wasn't a Tianzu Centipede; it was a mutated blood centipede far more powerful than the Tianzu Centipede, already possessing combat power at the Infant stage.
Even if Tong Shan were at his peak, he wouldn't stand a chance against it. However, with his current injuries and being surrounded by so many people, escape was impossible.
Faced with Xiang Yang's bizarre swordsmanship, Tong Shan made a single mistake, and his legs were instantly severed.
"Ah!"
Tong Shan fell to the ground, completely losing his combat abilities. He gritted his teeth to
endure the pain of his severed legs, his eyes filled with hatred.
"Yang Xiao, you have a grudge against him, so I'll leave him to you!"
Xiang Yang sheathed his sword and stepped aside, not delivering the final blow.
In his mind, this was an opportunity to strengthen his relationship with Yang Xiao.
Before Jian Wushuang went into battle, he had sent a ssage to Xiang Yang. If the Nine Prison Tower beca ownerless, Xiang Yang should take the tower and leave, waiting for Jian Wushuang to erge from it before making further plans. He was also instructed to take the black puppet among the three puppets.
Moreover, he was told to win over Yang Xiao.
This man knew so things about the Jiang Kingdom, so he must be brought along. He couldn't be allowed to leave, nor could he be offended.
"Forget it!" Yang Xiao closed his eyes slightly and shook his head. "He's already crippled; there's no need for more killing."
He still couldn't bring himself to deliver the killing blow, feeling that Tong Shan was just doing his duty. Besides, he hadn't actually attacked him yet, though he had the intention. Actions should be judged, not intentions.
Xiang Yang secretly shook his head. "Naive. Trying to reform a Dao-seeker? Unless you turn into an elixir for him to consu!"
He had lived through hundreds of eras and understood human nature far better than these
mortals.
Those who pursued strength, also known as Dao-seekers, often resorted to any ans necessary. Although they could distinguish right from wrong, they would abandon all
principles to beco stronger.
This was the ruthlessness of Dao-seekers.
Calling them demons wasn't inaccurate, but they wouldn't look twice at useless mortals and
wouldn't bully the weak without reason.
However, if the weak held treasures they needed, they would kill them without hesitation to
seize those treasures.
Dao-seeking was simple-only for the sake of becoming stronger!
Although Xiang Yang secretly disdained Yang Xiao's attitude, he didn't argue with him,
hoping to win him over.
Leaving behind the crippled Guardian Tong Shan, Xiang Yang carried the Nine Prison Tower on his back and led the group away from the place.
