Chapter 1256 The Bottom of the Tower
Ning Ruan was also sucked in.
Even hiding inside the Crimson Lotus Immortal Artifact, they couldn't escape that terrifying suction force.
Along with her fairy robes, she was also swept into the vortex...
The Spirit Suppression Pagoda project continues.
Whether Ning Ruan was sucked in or not, no one knows.
However, the number of Flame Spider Clan cultivators had already decreased by more than half in an instant.
Even the most patient Chi Jiang could endure it, but at this moment she could no longer hold back.
He did not speak in public.
Instead, his voice was filled with anger as he transmitted his thoughts: "Fellow Daoist, please stop. Don't forget the purpose of your trip. Your task is to help us take down the Crocodile Clan as soon as possible."
"If important matters are delayed because of Ning Ruan, you won't be able to explain it to your clan, will you?"
"Kill Ning Ruan and obtain the immortal artifact, and naturally there will be nothing you can't explain." The figure in the gray mist sneered, seemingly unconcerned.
Just as Chi Jiang was about to speak again...
In mid-air, the Spirit Suppressing Tower, which emitted a dark red light, suddenly trembled slightly.
The terrifying vortex at the bottom of the tower began to shrink gradually and eventually disappeared completely.
Without the vortex, there is no suction.
The Flame Spider Clan cultivators, who had been swept into the air, fell like dumplings being dropped into a pot, only managing to regain their footing just before plunging into the abyss.
The shrunken Spirit-Suppressing Pagoda fell into the hands of the gray-clad figure.
Seeing this, Chi Jiang was still angry, but she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It would be good if they could stop.
What he feared most was that the other party, relying on having a celestial artifact, would be stubborn and act recklessly.
Then he really had no way to stop it.
Even though they were both at the same cultivation level, he even felt that if it really came down to a life-or-death struggle, without the other party using a celestial artifact, it was still uncertain who would be stronger.
But because of the other party's immortal artifact and status, he was naturally inferior.
"Now that you have stopped, when will you release my clan's cultivators?"
Chi Jiang softened her tone.
The figure in the gray haze did not respond immediately.
He hovered in mid-air, his gaze fixed on the Spirit Suppressing Pagoda in his hand, as if sensing something.
After a moment, he slowly withdrew his gaze, his tone indifferent: "When it's time to let go, I will naturally let go."
Chi Jiang: "..."
"If you don't release them, what about the Crocodile Clan? Are you suggesting a temporary truce?"
A figure in the gray haze: "Then let's call a truce."
"However, a truce in one area will not affect the outcome."
"Besides..." He glanced indifferently at the remnants of the Crocodile Clan army opposite him, "they don't have many men left either. Do you think you can't win if you continue fighting now?"
Chi Jiang: "..." Is this a question of whether or not we can win?
They clearly had the upper hand; all they needed to do was press their advantage and easily trap the enemy.
But now that most of their elite troops are gone, even if they win, many of their people will die.
"Fellow Daoist, you've captured Ning Ruan?"
Chi Jiang looked up at the small tower in the other person's hand and changed the subject.
The figure in the gray haze showed no intention of answering, only coldly saying, "Whether you call a truce is up to you. I will release the person, and the rest is none of your business."
After saying that, he ignored Chi Jiang and with a flicker, turned into a streak of gray light and disappeared into the horizon.
Walk cleanly.
Completely ignoring Chi Jiang's ashen face.
……
The Spirit Suppression Pagoda has three levels.
The first two levels are used for cultivation.
Only the lowest level is used to suppress all living beings with spiritual energy.
Even a wisp of a soul cannot escape the Spirit Suppression Tower's lock.
At this moment, the base of the tower, which should have been silent, was crowded with Flame Spider Clan cultivators.
There were also a few crocodile-clan cultivators mixed in.
"This is where?"
"Oh no, the spiritual energy within me... the spiritual energy is decreasing!"
"What's going on? Mine is decreasing too!"
"No, it's not a reduction, it's that something here is forcibly draining our spiritual energy!"
Panic and despair spread like a plague.
The cries for help echoed in the space at the bottom of the tower.
Even now, the Flame Spider Clan cultivators couldn't understand why that senior, who seemed to be one of their own, would attack them.
"Let's all go together and fight them! We're all going to die anyway, so let's kill as many as we can!"
Just then, another female voice came from somewhere.
Immediately afterward, another group of crocodile cultivators echoed her words and joined her in attacking the Flame Spider cultivators who were clearly still in shock.
In an instant, the already chaotic situation at the bottom of the tower was ignited.
"The fellow Daoist of the Hundred Flowers Clan is right, kill! Since we're all going to die anyway, we might as well take a few down with us!"
"Fight them!"
"To avenge our fallen kin!"
The crocodile cultivators roared and pounced on the fire spider cultivators beside them like mad tigers.
Even though his spiritual power was rapidly waning, his fighting strength, fueled by a determination to die, was even more formidable than usual.
Caught off guard, the Flame Spider Clan cultivators were caught completely off guard.
In an instant, within the space at the bottom of the tower, spiritual light flashed wildly, and the sounds of clashing weapons, screams, and roars filled the air.
"Damn it, let's wipe out this damned crocodile clan first!"
A Golden Core cultivator from the Flame Spider Clan roared in anger.
But as soon as he finished speaking, a sharp blade flashed from the side, instantly severing one of his legs.
The one who made the move was a female cultivator from the Crocodile Clan, covered in blood.
Her eyes were icy cold, and the long sword in her hand dripped with blood, making her look like a demon who had walked out of hell.
"Come on, let's see who dies first!"
She gave a low shout, grabbed her knife, and flew over.
"..."
When the figure shrouded in gray once again cast its divine sense into the tower, this was the scene it witnessed.
"..."
"A bunch of trash!"
He finally couldn't help but mutter a curse.
With a flash, he re-entered the tower.
Of course, he didn't go to the bottom of the tower.
It is the first floor inside the tower.
From here, you can clearly see the entire scene at the bottom of the tower.
He didn't care about the battle between the Flame Spider Clan and the Crocodile Clan.
He was solely focused on finding Ning Ruan's existence.
"I know you're here, Ning Ruan. Do you think you can hide?"
"Even your celestial artifact is affected now, isn't it?"
"It won't be long before you lose all your spiritual power and your cultivation is ruined. Even your immortal artifact won't be able to save you."
Ning Ruan was still nowhere to be seen at the bottom of the tower.
But he firmly believed that the Spirit-Suppressing Pagoda would not fail.
Especially the Spirit-Suppressing Tower, which he controlled with his essence and blood.
Ningruan must still be there.
Even if her magical artifact has some hiding place, it will never escape the Spirit Suppression Tower's lock.
The gray-clad figure lost patience, especially upon seeing the chaotic scene below, and unconsciously frowned.
Considering the three troublesome Void Cave cultivators from the Flame Spider Clan outside, he decided to release the group of useless creatures below first.
The acceptance is indiscriminate and all items are accepted.
However, releasing it can be more precise.
He was no longer afraid that Ning Ruan would take advantage of the chaos and escape.
Once inside the Spirit Suppression Tower, there is absolutely no possibility of escape without his permission.
