476: Hunt
A torrent-like power poured out fiercely. Although it didn't land on the two of them, it stirred up a thousand waves in their hearts.
Even separated by this small tower, they could still sense that terrifying power. It must have been a Golden Core True Person attacking.
No one expected to encounter an attack from a Golden Core True Person at this moment.
The two of them exchanged glances, both seeing extremely complex emotions in the other's eyes.
They both felt that the other person was the target.
In the vast sky and earth, only a gilded small tower stood, radiating brilliant spiritual light.
Although it had suffered a heavy blow, its exterior remained completely unharmed, and the light that had been suppressed before also recovered its former appearance.
Since that terrifying strike just now, there had been no more sound from the outside world, and everything had returned to silence.
"Damn it!"
Under a large tree somewhere on the ground, a man with a gloomy face showed a frustrated expression, then turned and merged with the surrounding scenery, disappearing from sight.
Inside the small tower, seeing that no other attacks were falling, the two of them also breathed a sigh of relief.
"How were you able to react so quickly just now?"
Wang Yuwei, who was cultivating the Supreme Forgetfulness Sutra, gradually calmed her state of mind and recovered from the shock just now.
She stared at him with her beautiful eyes, a look of curiosity on her face.
Compared to caring about why this small tower could withstand the attack of that Golden Core True Person, she was more concerned about how the other person was able to react so quickly just now.
If he hadn't reacted so promptly, she would definitely not have been able to safely dodge the attack of that Golden Core True Person.
Once hit, even if she was at the Foundation Establishment Stage, she would definitely suffer severe injuries.
At that time, she would truly have a body full of techniques but be unable to use them.
But the other person was only at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, how could he react faster than her? It was completely as if he had known in advance.
Zhou Luo took a deep breath, and the light blue magic power circulated within his body, gradually recovering.
His expression was calm, and he said indifferently, "I'm used to it."
Ever since he came to the world of Cultivation, he had been living on thin ice.
Even after achieving the Foundation Establishment Realm, even after having many trump cards.
But he had never let down his guard.
Because he knew that arrogance would only bring disaster.
So as long as he went out, he would definitely be very vigilant about the changes around him, always guarding against potential unknown dangers.
This principle of conduct had been deeply imprinted in his bones, becoming an indelible habit.
When he faced Zhu Zhifeng's Array Formation sneak attack back then, it was thanks to this habit that he keenly noticed that something was wrong with the canyon ahead.
Otherwise, once he fell into the other party's trap.
Even if he was a Second-Order Formation Master, he would not have been able to defeat the three of them so easily.
It was the same now.
After a great battle in the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range, basically no Cultivators dared to stay here, and there was also an Immortal Sect Disciple at the Foundation Establishment Stage accompanying them.
If it were an ordinary person, they probably wouldn't have thought that someone would ambush them, and naturally wouldn't have any reaction.
But Zhou Luo was different.
Even before coming to the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range, even when traveling in the secular world with Wang Yuwei, he had always maintained caution, constantly being vigilant of his surroundings.
It was precisely this vigilance that saved his life now.
Wang Yuwei's beautiful eyes flickered slightly. As she listened to the other person say this in such a calm tone, for some reason, her originally calm state of mind stirred up a trace of unusual emotion again.
She suddenly felt that the other person, who seemed carefree and at ease, lived a much more tiring life than she had imagined.
For a moment, she actually felt a little heartache for the other person.
"Who do you think this killer is targeting?" Zhou Luo said in a deep voice.
After the other party's attack, there was no further movement. According to this style of action, the only thing he could think of was someone from the Killer Tower.
But when the Killer Tower traded with him at that time, they had explicitly stated that they would not send anyone to assassinate him.
Unless the other party's target was Wang Yuwei.
Wang Yuwei was also thinking. After a long time, she finally said, "To be able to hire a Golden Core True Person for an assassination, it seems they are coming for me."
When she said this, she did not show any unusual emotions because of the matter. Instead, she was calm and composed, undisturbed.
This was the wonderful effect of the Supreme Forgetfulness Sutra, which could quickly help Cultivators stabilize their minds and prevent them from being troubled by external matters.
These words reminded Zhou Luo of the letter that the Killer Tower had gone to great lengths to have him deliver back then.
He asked aloud, "What exactly is your relationship with the Killer Tower?"
Back then, Wang Yuwei had specifically told him not to ask too many questions, lest he be drawn into a bigger storm.
But now she had been attacked by the Killer Tower, and he also planned to Dual Cultivate with her.
Therefore, before that, he had to clarify this matter.
If the matter involved was really too big.
Then he could only give up Dual Cultivating with the other party, lest he bring trouble upon himself.
"Zhou Luo, do you really want to know about this matter?"
Wang Yuwei looked at him, a serious expression on her face.
Zhou Luo also understood the importance of the matter, but even so, he still had to know the reason, so he nodded: "You should tell me."
"Okay, I'll tell you." Wang Yuwei no longer chose to hide it.
Because she knew that the other person was implicated by her, and she would definitely have to go through a love tribulation with the other person later. If she hid it from him, it would easily put him in danger.
For the following Time, the two of them began their conversation inside this dark and lightless tower.
The content of the conversation was naturally the relationship between Wang Yuwei and the Killer Tower.
It turned out that many "Nian" ago, when Wang Yuwei was out experiencing trials, she had briefly joined the Killer Tower and become a kill one.
That's right, at that time, she had just stepped into the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.
In order to temper herself and improve her combat power, she entered the Killer Tower through some means.
At that time, she was already cultivating the Supreme Forgetfulness Sutra, so she wasn't very resistant to the act of killing, or rather, she didn't care.
It was precisely because of this that she became famous in the Killer Tower, with countless Cultivators dying by her hand, and even Immortal Sect Disciples.
However, she was only there for experience after all, so after getting tired of this kind of life, she chose to leave.
However, the Killer Tower saw her potential and didn't want to let her leave.
Wang Yuwei insisted on leaving, and finally found an opportunity to return to the Sect, and basically never left the mountain again.
Originally, she thought the Killer Tower had given up.
It wasn't until the last time, with the letter delivered by Zhou Luo, that she realized the matter was far from over.
The content of the letter was very simple.
It asked her to return to the Killer Tower and go kill a person.
Regarding this matter, Wang Yuwei naturally refused.
Unexpectedly, the Killer Tower did not let the matter drop because of her refusal this time. Instead, they even sent such a terrifying kill one to try and kill her.
After hearing this, Zhou Luo stared at her and suddenly asked, "Is there anything else you're hiding from me?"
