135: Chapter 135 Yun Qiyao's Shock

The so-called Devil's Den was actually a massive fissure, as if it led to the nether Hell, with thick Devilish Qi gushing out endlessly, and a large number of demonic creatures constantly crawling out from underground.

Such a scene was enough to make one's scalp tingle!

Yun Qiyao descended rapidly, and on the way, quite a few demonic creatures lunged at her, only to be ruthlessly slain by her.

Yun Qiyao descended for a full ten thousand zhang before finally reaching the bottom of the Devil's Den.

"This is—"

Yun Qiyao's pupils constricted slightly, and she was somewhat surprised!

Deep within the earth stood a towering, mountain-like ancient tower, pitch black as ink, surrounded by nine massive pillars inscribed with dense runes, with chains connecting the pillars to the ancient tower.

However, most of the nine pillars had collapsed, and a massive gap had appeared in the middle of the ancient tower, from which thick, terrifying Devilish Qi gushed out endlessly; those demonic creatures were all rushing out from there!

"Demon Suppressing Tower!"

"Whose Magic Treasure is this? To think it suppressed so many demonic creatures..."

Even though Yun Qiyao was knowledgeable and experienced, her heart stirred with no small ripples at this moment.

This demonic tide threatening the Great Wu Dynasty actually originated from an ancient Demon Suppressing Tower that had been buried for who knows how many years!

Yun Qiyao steadied her emotions, held a precious sword, cast a breath-concealing Divine Ability, and like a ghost, silently rushed into the gap of the Demon Suppressing Tower.

Inside the pitch-black and vast Demon Suppressing Tower, there were unexpectedly one after another strange, beehive-like nests, from which various hideous and terrifying demonic creatures crawled out.

But at the very top of the Demon Suppressing Tower, a golden stone tablet floated, its entire body inscribed with endless runes, radiating a sacred and majestic light that no demonic creature dared to approach!

"Demon Suppressing Stone Tablet!"

"And..."

Yun Qiyao's gaze looked towards a corner of the Demon Suppressing Tower, where a long-decayed skeleton lay, with a dim ring worn on its finger bone.

"That's right, this is the Opportunity I deduced!"

Yun Qiyao whispered to herself, and she couldn't help but reveal a trace of joy on her face.

"To be able to calculate even this, you are quite impressive."

Just at this moment, a cold, eerie voice rang out abruptly!

Yun Qiyao's body stiffened violently, and she felt her heartbeat stop for an instant!

She turned her head abruptly and saw that Ji Taichang had appeared behind her at some unknown time, his face wearing a somewhat mocking expression, staring straight at her.

"Greetings, Senior Ji."

Yun Qiyao was worthy of being a powerful expert; she quickly steadied her emotions, showing no expression on her face, and bowed to Ji Taichang neither servile nor overbearing.

"The Opportunity here is fated with me. Senior Ji, as a Senior expert, these Opportunities are of little use to you, so I ask that you do not make things difficult for this Junior."

Yun Qiyao kept her posture very low, not wanting to come into conflict with Ji Taichang.

In Lin Fan's Sea of Consciousness, Lin Fan's Soul saw this scene from the perspective of an onlooker, and his face instantly twisted!

"The Opportunity here was clearly discovered by us; why do we need to negotiate with him!"

"Revered Master, didn't you say you could deal with anyone below the Soul Transformation Stage? It would be better to take this chance and kill him!"

Lin Fan's Soul roared, filled with Killing Intent and hatred.

But Yun Qiyao did not answer him, only looking at Ji Taichang.

Ji Taichang's mouth curled slightly upward: "What is yours or mine? Everything I see is naturally mine!"

Yun Qiyao's expression sank: "Senior Ji, you are a Senior expert; isn't it improper to bully a Junior like this?"

The smile on Ji Taichang's lips gradually became hideous.

"What are you mumbling about? Go tell my great Magic Treasure!"

Clang!!

Ji Taichang suddenly drew the azure kite sword, slashing out a sharp and terrifying Sword Qi, hacking directly at Yun Qiyao's head!

Yun Qiyao immediately raised the precious sword in her hand, accompanied by mysterious, flickering rosy light, and clashed swords with Ji Taichang, emitting a deafening explosion!

Two completely different Sword Qis collided with a roar, like a thunderclap from the Nine Heavens, and sheets of Sword Qi burst out in all directions, causing the entire Demon Suppressing Tower to shake, with fine cracks appearing on the walls.

The result of this sword clash was that Yun Qiyao was shaken back five or six steps, let out a muffled groan, and her face turned somewhat pale.

"Oh?" Ji Taichang raised an eyebrow, revealing a trace of surprise.

"With mere Golden Core Stage First Layer cultivation, you can actually block a casual sword strike from me?"

"And your gaze is completely different from before... That's it! You are not Lin Fan!"

"You are his ring old grandpa!!"

Ji Taichang exposed the truth in one word!

Upon hearing this, Yun Qiyao's heart was violently shaken!

Especially the term "ring old grandpa", which caused stormy waves to rise in her heart!

"How could he know that my Soul is hidden in the ring??"

"And how could his strength be so strong..."

Yun Qiyao's heart sank to the bottom, and she immediately made the most correct decision!

"My power is nearly exhausted; I cannot fight him to the death... Escape!!"

Yun Qiyao decisively abandoned the Opportunity here, her figure flashing as she prepared to rush out of the Demon Suppressing Tower!

"Die!!"

Ji Taichang naturally would not let her run; he no longer held back and immediately slashed out with a full-powered sword strike!

The azure kite sword bloomed with an extreme and terrifying Sword Qi, as if it could split heaven and earth, sharp and boundless!

Yun Qiyao turned around and held her precious sword horizontally in front of her to block.

Accompanied by a deafening "bang" echoing, Yun Qiyao was slashed away by Ji Taichang on the spot, slamming heavily against the wall of the Demon Suppressing Tower, violently spitting out a large mouthful of blood, with no telling how many of her bones were broken.

"Cough, cough... This kind of power, he really is of the Soul Transformation Stage!!"

Yun Qiyao coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood, her gaze towards Ji Taichang filled with a look of horror!

One must know, not long ago on the island, when Ji Taichang and Lin Fan entered an Immortal Cave for experts with age restrictions together, it proved that Ji Taichang was also a Prodigy of the younger generation, under thirty years old!

A Soul Transformation Stage expert under thirty... how terrifying!

Looking at the entire Eastern Desolate Region, throughout history, one could not find many!

Just as Yun Qiyao wanted to escape, Ji Taichang had already slashed out another sword, the Sword Qi reaching the sky, the Killing Intent chilling, even more terrifying in power than the previous sword!

In the crisis, Yun Qiyao's eyes were full of determination, and not hesitating to burn her Soul, she desperately cast a spatial Divine Ability!

Just as Ji Taichang's sword was about to strike her, Lin Fan's body radiated strands of spatial fluctuations, instantly disappearing from the spot, forcibly teleported tens of thousands of miles away!

"Ran away?"

Ji Taichang frowned, his powerful Divine Sense constantly spreading, but he could not sense any of Lin Fan's aura.

"Forget it, his ring old grandpa is already in a heavily crippled state and surely cannot act many more times; next time we meet, I will kill him!"

"After I leave the Devil's Den, I will immediately take a trip to Medicine King Valley."

"Nangong Qingya still owes me a debt of saving her life, and I want to see if Lin Fan will abandon his mother!"

Ji Taichang's mouth curled into a cold sneer, and he already had a plan in his heart.
