67: Chapter 67 God-level Item: [Ten Paths of Reincarnation Hell Tower]!

Under the shade of a tree, Old Taoist Xu Que was sleeping soundly; he had been pricked by poison needles seven or eight times and would need at least a few more hours of deep sleep before waking up.

At this moment, the Formation Plate inside the Treasure Bag kept spinning, indicating that someone had broken into the Formation and was attempting to crack it.

With Old Taoist Xu Que's abilities, had he not been unconscious, the various Formations he had set up during the day would have been enough to trap the Woman in Red Dress and the man in the black trench coat to death.

Unfortunately... he was unconscious!

Without the master of the Formation to change its patterns, its power was greatly diminished, making it easy for the opponents to find the pattern, crack it, and escape.

At this very moment.

Chu Xiao was hiding in the shadows, coldly watching the man in the black trench coat and the Woman in Red Dress trapped within the Formation.

He didn't recognize that Woman in Red Dress!

But that man in the black trench coat... he knew him all too well. Who else could it be but Chu Chen, the elder brother he had called "Big Brother" for decades!

It really was him!

...Chu Chen!

He really came, and his target was the small house in the backyard!

How utterly ridiculous. The orphan the old man had raised for thirty years like his own son was actually a white-eyed wolf who would kill his father and master!

[Host, please ravage them to your heart's content!]

The System's voice flashed by.

Chu Xiao's expression was as dark as water as he said coldly, "System, even if you didn't issue the quest, I would still torture him to death! However, just killing them is too easy on them! It's a pity I don't have any Soul Refining items! Otherwise, I would make sure their Souls could never find peace!"

As his voice fell.

[Ding!]

[Detected extreme emotional fluctuations from the host!]

[Special Targeted Golden Finger Prize Pool opened!]

[Opening Cost: 5000 pleasure points!]

[Would you like to open it immediately to draw a Soul Refining type Golden Finger?]

The System's voice flashed by.

Chu Xiao couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, between laughter and tears, "System, you really are a sly one! It's just 5000 pleasure points! Open it for me!"

[Ding!]

[Consumed 5000 pleasure points!]

[Targeted Golden Finger Prize Pool drawing...]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the following three options. Please choose one to extract. Only one can be chosen from this targeted prize pool, and once chosen, the other two Golden Finger items will disappear!]

[①. [Soul Refining Banner]: This Golden Finger comes from a revenge-themed Xuanhuan novel. This banner can house Souls below the Immortal King level. The housed Souls will suffer for generations, never escaping their predicament.]

[③. [ten-path reincarnation world-extinguishing hell tower]: This Golden Finger comes from a super revenge-themed mythological novel. This tower can house all Souls and contains ninety-nine levels of Hell. Any Soul taken into it will fall into the ten-path Reincarnation, experiencing all ninety-nine types of Hellish torture and feeling eternal pain...!]

[Once selected, the item will be materialized!]

[Host, which Golden Finger item would you like to choose?]

The System's voice flashed by.

Chu Xiao glanced over and asked with a hint of excitement, "Is the third one a bit over the top? World-Extinguishing Hell Tower! It sounds incredibly badass!"

[Ding!]

[[ten-path reincarnation world-extinguishing hell tower]: Created by an ancient god in the Universe. Even Divine-Grade terrifying creatures would tremble before it!]

[Price: 1,000,000 pleasure points!]

[Host, do you wish to choose it?]

The System's voice flashed by.

What was there to hesitate about!

Chu Xiao immediately said, "This is the one. Store it for now! I'll materialize it later!"

[Ding!]

[Congratulations on choosing the [ten-path reincarnation world-extinguishing hell tower]. The item has been stored in the System space and can be extracted at any time!]

Ten-odd minutes later.

Under Chu Xiao's cold gaze.

As expected, the Woman in Red Dress led Chu Chen out of the layers of trapping Formations and arrived in front of the backyard cottage.

"The person who set this Formation is truly formidable. Even I took this long to completely break it! It's a stroke of luck that the person isn't here! Otherwise, once he activated the Formation, we would have both been caught like rats in a trap!"

The Woman in Red Dress spoke with lingering fear, then turned her gaze toward the backyard cottage.

She saw that the cottage door was actually wide open.

Her face changed slightly as she blurted out, "What's going on? Could someone have beaten us to it?"

"Impossible! The Secret Art of Longevity is a secret passed down only within my Chu family. No one knows it except for my master and me! Even his grandson doesn't know the secrets within! Otherwise, the major Schools of the world would have long since moved to seize it!"

Chu Chen was only stunned for a moment before dismissing the idea. Without thinking much, he stepped toward the cottage.

Just then, a voice he was extremely familiar with called out to him.

"Big Brother, it's so late. Why did you come without even giving me a heads-up?"

This voice was devoid of joy or sorrow, yet it seemed to carry a long-suppressed rage.

Chu Chen followed the sound and saw a figure hidden behind an old locust tree not far away. Due to the dim light, he couldn't see clearly.

However, he recognized that voice!

Chu Xiao slowly walked out from the darkness, a faint smile on his cold face, while Killing Intent and anger were hidden in his eyes.

"Little brother!" Chu Chen was somewhat surprised, then smiled and stepped forward, intending to pat Chu Xiao on the shoulder, as if he were still that same big brother from years ago.
