Chapter 464 Enter The Tower

In a dilapidated wooden house in Bitter Alley of Heng Imperial City.

Yuan Xiucheng, who was dressed in a crow-green robe, sat at the wooden table. He stretched out one hand and tapped on the wooden table with his slender fingers, making an extremely rhythmic sound. On the other hand, he held a cup of tea in his hand and drank it leisurely.

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed as he looked at the wooden table.

Black figures suddenly appeared around the wooden table like ghosts.

Those figures were wrapped in dense darkness, unable to see clearly. Even the figures themselves were slightly shaking. Suddenly, it was as if what was present here was not a real physical body, but projections from unknown distances.

Yuan Xiucheng, who was sitting on the seat, narrowed his eyes and looked at the figures. He counted them carefully, and there were a total of eight of them.

The Ten Halls of Dark Asura Palace, apart from that special existence who had always been outside of them, were all present at this moment.

"Everyone, you descended on this humble abode, but this humble abode is filled with glory!" Yuan Xiucheng stood up at that moment and said with an earnest smile.

However, the eight figures ignored his intentions and began to do so.

The wooden house was completely silent, which made Yuan Xiucheng, who was smiling, somewhat embarrassed.

However, he quickly recovered from this state. He smiled embarrassedly and sat back down, saying, "Since everyone has arrived, then let's begin."

As he spoke, Yuan Xiucheng suddenly clapped his hands. A ray of light suddenly lit up the wooden wall behind him, and several light shadows were projected onto it at that moment.

At that time, the black shadows all focused their gazes on one of the light shadows. Those were the elites they had found to send into the Demon Suppressing Tower, and they were also killing moves to seize the Demon Monarch's blood essence.

As for who among them was able to successfully accomplish this, it would naturally bring them countless benefits.

Thinking of this, the eyes of these high-ranking people who controlled the lifeline of a state or even a country lit up as they eagerly stared at the people belonging to their own sect.

Naturally, Yuan Xiucheng was no exception. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Xu Han who was projecting time, his long and narrow eyes flickering with light.

…

After a flash of light, Xu Han discovered that the scenery in front of him had changed. He had already arrived at a dark place.

This place was a gray patch, and the air was filled with dust that could not be seen in the sun. Beneath his feet was a patch of yellow sand, while the surroundings were filled with huge stones scattered all over the ground. Some of them carried even lines that were clearly cut by sharp weapons. From time to time, beast-like and non-beast-like howls could be heard from afar, as if they were mourning or roaring angrily.

Was this the Demon Suppressing Pagoda?

Xu Han thought to himself in his heart. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised. The Demon Suppressing Pagoda looked like it was only ten zhang in size. The people who entered the Demon Suppressing Pagoda, including those who had joined the swordsman, numbered three to four hundred. However, there was no one around him at this moment. There was not the slightest trace of the Tower in his place. Instead, it was more like a barren desert.

Xu Han had a new understanding of the so-called Demon Suppressing Tower in his heart.

However, he couldn't imagine how powerful a great power could create such a world, and he couldn't imagine how powerful a Demon Monarch that needed to be suppressed with such a thing was.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but touch his right arm and thought to himself, Perhaps his understanding of his right arm was too shallow.

However, this was clearly not a good time to delve deeper into this matter.

As he thought about this, he took a step forward. After all, this was still the first level. According to Nangong Jing, the higher the level, the purer the demonic power would be. With everyone's demonic power limited, it was obvious that going to the higher level to capture demonic power was the most profitable method.

I don't know where Brother Yan and Ziyu have landed, but these two have always been alert. As long as they don't clash with those people, they should be fine. They should be able to obtain their own satisfactory demonic power and leave the Demon Suppressing Tower.

According to Nangong Jing, the entrance to each floor was at the center of the upper floor. Normally, the Illusory Demons were the most concentrated there. Xu Han had never seen an Illusory Demon before, but he could tell that the biggest problem that troubled cultivators was how to get through the center of the Illusory Demon Dense Area to the next floor.

However, after Xu Han activated the sword intent in his body to travel for a hundred breaths of time, all of his worries were suppressed.

It was because he discovered something more confusing than his previous worries that he had lost his way.

There was no sun in this world, and the entire world was shrouded in a misty aura. He had no way to discern the direction, nor did he know where he was, nor how to get to the so-called central region, which had become the biggest problem that troubled Xu Han.

Although there is no time limit for you to stay in the Demon Suppressing Tower, as long as you are not detected by the array formation in the tower and the demonic energy you absorb exceeds your limit, theoretically speaking, you can stay here forever.

But in fact, The tower was desolate, there is nothing to eat, The dry rations Xu Han brought with him could only last for a few days. Although his physical strength and cultivation wouldn't cause much harm to his life even if he didn't eat anything for a month, his long hunger would inevitably affect his combat strength and bring about some immeasurable variables to his future plans. Furthermore, since he had arrived at the Demon Suppressing Tower, Xu Han naturally intended to obtain some Origin Demon Energy. His goal must be the pure Origin Demon Energy possessed by the upper level Illusory Demons, and these were destined to be the targets that many cultivators were competing for.

One had to know that as the level of the Illusory Demon's cultivation increased, the Origin Demon Energy contained within its body became even more powerful, but the amount of it decreased exponentially. For example, the number of low-level Illusory Demons on the first floor was probably in the hundreds of thousands, while the number of Demon Monarch Essence Blood Demon Spirits on the top floor was only five fingers. Therefore, if they were to waste too much time on the ground floor, the Illusory Demons would probably have been slaughtered by these cultivators by the time Xu Han arrived.

But even if he understood these principles, Xu Han still didn't have a good solution.

He could only pinpoint a direction and run at full speed, trying to find a margin, or perhaps he was lucky enough to find traces of this place heading towards the center. After all, those Illusory Demons were all created by the Demon Monarch's demonic power, and the demonic power fluctuations in the central region were bound to be much stronger than those in ordinary places.

However, Xu Han continued to run with all his might for about half an hour, yet he still found nothing. Not even half an Illusory Demon had been encountered. On the first floor of the Demon Suppressing Tower, the existence of an Illusory Demon should be extremely common. After such a long time, there was still not a single Illusory Demon. The only explanation was that Xu Han had unfortunately not been thrown to the edge of the Demon Suppressing Tower.

Xu Han couldn't help but feel a little depressed when he thought of this. He shook his head with a bitter smile, but he didn't have much self-pity. Instead, he used all of his strength to activate the sword intent in his body and rush forward at full speed.

But at this moment, two figures suddenly appeared in front of him.

It was a man and a woman. After Xu Han saw their appearances clearly, he couldn't help but have a strange expression on his face.

"Why her?" He murmured.
