96: Chapter 96 Mu Chen's Tragic Condition, Reward: Saint-Rank Pill!

Looking at the mysterious smile on his father's face, Zhou Yuxuan felt a faint sense of unease in his heart, but he could not explain the reason.

In the original plot, the origins of this father of his were incomparably mysterious, and all of his various actions were extremely bizarre.

Originally, he had thought that even if such a father were a villain, he would be the greatest villain of all.

However, in the end, he still died at the hands of multiple Luck protagonists joining forces, his body destroyed and his Dao dissipated.

Perhaps it was precisely because these Luck protagonists joined forces that, under their powerful Luck, they were able to suppress and kill this father of his.

"Alright, Yuxuan, you need not worry too much; just act properly. Our Zhou Family is currently unable to contend with that Empress."

After glancing at the secret letter in his hand, Zhou Yuantian said indifferently to his son.

Immediately after, he waved his hand, signaling Zhou Yuxuan to leave.

After leaving his father's place, Zhou Yuxuan did not stay in the Zhou Family, but instead headed straight for the Demon Suppressing Tower.

He remembered that he had personally orchestrated the imprisonment of that Sword Saint, Zhao Chungang, in the Demon Suppressing Tower.

This Sword Saint did not actually have a very deep relationship with that Butcher, Prince of Northern Liang. He only owed the other party some favors, which was why he agreed to Prince of Northern Liang's request to escort Xu Feng to the Great Shang Imperial City.

Now that Xu Feng's entire family was dead, his relationship with Prince of Northern Liang was naturally considered non-existent.

This Sword Saint was obsessed with the Dao of the sword and had always wanted to enter the Saint Realm through the Dao of the sword. He happened to have a Saint-Grade Sword Cultivation Technique in his possession that could help him, and he could use this to recruit Zhao Chungang as his henchman.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yuxuan's figure soon appeared outside the Demon Suppressing Tower.

At this moment, beneath a high mountain in the easternmost part of the Great Shang Imperial City, there stood a gloomy nine-story tower.

From within this high tower, shrill screams could be heard from time to time.

Occasionally, a powerful aura would erupt, causing those with weak cultivation nearby to have their Qi and blood churn and vomit blood.

As soon as Zhou Yuxuan's figure appeared, it attracted the attention of many Demon-Suppressing Envoy Yang Tian.

"Young Master Zhou, this is the Demon Suppressing Tower ahead. I wonder what business you have here?"

A general of the Demon Suppressing Tower appeared before Zhou Yuxuan, blocking his path and speaking respectfully.

"General Zhao, I have come to see Zhao Chungang," Zhou Yuxuan said indifferently.

The general before him could be considered a first-class expert in this Demon Suppressing Tower, possessing the strength of the Dharma Manifestation Realm.

Upon hearing Zhou Yuxuan's request, he did not make things difficult for him.

"So you came for that Sword Saint. Young Master Zhou, rest assured. Since he offended you, we have been using various tortures on him these past few days. I believe he won't be able to hold on much longer."

Hearing this, Zhou Yuxuan frowned slightly and said, "Torture? Take me to see him!"

Zhou Yuxuan was actually a bit afraid at this moment, afraid that the Sword Saint would damage his Foundation. If the Demon-Suppressing Envoy Yang Tian had tortured him to the point of damaging his Foundation, then there would be no need for him to recruit Zhao Chungang into his ranks.

After all, it was only because he saw that this Sword Saint could reach the Saint Realm that he felt a desire to cherish talent.

After the arrival of the future brilliant great era, only powerful figures in the Saint Realm would barely be able to hold their own.

"Yes! Young Master Zhou, follow me."

At this moment, General Zhao saw the change in Zhou Yuxuan's expression and felt a hint of unease in his heart.

Back then, seeing that the Sword Saint had offended the Young Master of the Zhou Family, he had ordered various tortures to be inflicted upon Zhao Chungang in order to curry favor with the Zhou Family.

He never expected that this Young Master of the Zhou Family would care so much about the Sword Saint.

Now he only prayed that the Sword Saint was still alive.

Walking into the first floor of the Demon Suppressing Tower, the people here saw Zhou Yuxuan and one after another reached out, emitting sounds of pleading.

"Young Master Zhou, I am Huang Defa of the Huang Family. We once drank and enjoyed ourselves together. Can you take me out? I am willing to offer all of the Huang Family's assets to the Zhou Family!"

"Young Master Zhou, I know of a Secret Realm that contains an Opportunity to become a Saint. If you take me out of this hellhole, I am willing to tell you the location of that Secret Realm, guaranteeing that the Zhou Family will gain another Saint."

Zhou Yuxuan silently walked past these people who were begging him to take them out, and only stopped when he reached a certain cell.

"Young Master Zhou, is this... your friend?" General Zhao looked at Zhou Yuxuan, who was staring at the youth in the cell, and asked in confusion.

If the youth imprisoned inside was a friend of this Young Master of the Zhou Family, he would definitely release him without a second word.

And just as he was taking out the key, Zhou Yuxuan said coldly, "Wait!"

"The person imprisoned inside is not my friend; however, he has offended me before."

Zhou Yuxuan said, looking at General Zhao with a half-smile.

Immediately, General Zhao understood and revealed a sinister smile.

"So it's a blind lowlife who dared to offend you, Young Master. Young Master Zhou, please rest assured. I will definitely let him taste the 'delicacies' of my Demon Suppressing Tower!"

General Zhao's words immediately woke the youth who was sleeping soundly in the cell.

The moment he opened his eyes and saw Zhou Yuxuan, he immediately showed an angry expression: "Zhou Yuxuan, what do you want to do!"

The youth in the cell was none other than Mu Chen.

Although he had the protection of Grand Preceptor Yue Changhong, Grand Preceptor Yue Changhong rarely appeared before the public, often staying behind the scenes, and had offended many people.

Therefore, Grand Preceptor Yue Changhong's words did not actually have much effect.

And after Mu Chen was imprisoned in the Demon Suppressing Tower, his treatment was not very good, which caused Mu Chen to harbor much resentment in his heart.

Now seeing the culprit who caused him to end up in this state right before his eyes, looking polished and radiant, made him even more furious.

"Audacious madman, you have already entered the Demon Suppressing Tower, yet you still dare to be so arrogant!"

"Is the name of the Young Lord something that a greenhorn like you can call out!"

Scolded by General Zhao, Mu Chen's face turned cold. His gaze was incomparably icy, looking at General Zhao as if he were looking at a dead person.

The prisoners in the surrounding cells heard the commotion and walked out from the shadows one after another, looking at Mu Chen with expressions of watching a good show.

[Ding! Host has successfully changed the plot, causing Mu Chen to make a fool of himself in front of everyone, his state of mind has plummeted, obtained Saint-Grade Medicinal Pill, Saint Yuan Pill!]

(Saint Yuan Pill: Saint-Grade Medicinal Pill. After consumption, it can restore all one's injuries, repair a damaged Foundation, and increase the probability of a Breakthrough to the Saint Realm.)

Looking at the suddenly obtained reward, Zhou Yuxuan was overjoyed. This reward was no different from pulling a 'Golden Legend' when drawing cards.

Taking advantage of his good mood, Zhou Yuxuan turned and left. When leaving, he did not forget to tell General Zhao to serve Mu Chen some 'delicacies'.

Before long, as several burly men walked into Mu Chen's cell, a short while later, shrill screams filled the entire Demon Suppressing Tower.
