Trials of the Abyss

Chapter 43: Probe

Views:

Isolated island.

Under the dim sky, Shangguan Qin kept waving her arms and gesturing, with despair gradually appearing on her face.

She seemed to have been drained of her energy and spirit, and her posture and eyes revealed only strong negative emotions.

At this time.

One after another, dim and faint "spirits" quietly emerged around Wulan Lake and drifted silently towards the island in the center of the lake.

If the Tianling Pagoda was still flying over the island, the "Spiritual Evil" would become its target the moment it entered the island in the middle of the lake.

Within a certain range, no "spiritual evil" can withstand the terrifying magnetic field released by the Tianling Tower targeting the soul.

As long as the Tianling Tower can still move, it can hunt and kill the "spiritual evil spirits" on the island, so when it was roaring before, none of the "spiritual evil spirits" hiding in the dark dared to show up.

It was not until Pang Jian entered the island in the middle of the lake and the island began to sink inexplicably and fall strangely that the "spiritual demons" took action.

Soon, those "evil spirits" scattered around the island, deliberately avoiding the Tianling Pagoda in the center of the low mountain.

"From Shangguan Qin's point of view, it would be easy for the guys down there to take care of the two of us."

Luo Hongyan pouted slightly, twisting a bright red flower in her hand, breaking off the petals one by one, and said: "Shangguan Qin is just like this flower. There is no vitality in her eyes, and the vitality in her body is very weak."

"I guess there is a fellow like Ouyang Duanhai who has suffered from the phoenix marrow's heart-eating, and he is right under the pit right now."

She dropped the dead branch without petals, stepped on the petals on the ground, pulled Pang Jian back, and said, "We will retreat as she wishes, and don't alarm the guys in the pit yet."

Pang Jian was finally pulled back by her.

Naturally, he did not notice that when he left the top of the hill, a "spiritual evil spirit" had already appeared in the flowers near Shangguan Qin.

"call out!"

As Pang Jian turned around, he saw a practitioner loyal to He Rong walking towards the white Tianling Pagoda.

When he was still a dozen steps away from the Tianling Pagoda, the man suddenly fell to the ground with a plop and was never able to stand up again.

A cluster of extremely faint shadows flew out from the top of his head and instantly disappeared into a window on the highest floor of the White Tower.

Su Yuntian and He Rong had been watching the man nervously. When they saw him suddenly fall to the ground, his soul was suddenly pulled away and his expression became extremely ugly.

Only then did they believe that what Luo Hongyan said was true. This white tower from the Yinling Temple was indeed extremely strange.

Luo Hongyan sneered: "I warned you not to get close to the White Pagoda."

He Rong, who was already dissatisfied with her, listened to her ridicule and said in a deep voice: "We know nothing about the Tianling Pagoda. If we don't give it a try, how can we know whether what you said is true or not?"

"That's right. If you don't suffer a little, you won't learn your lesson."

Luo Hongyan raised a sneer at the corner of her mouth and said indifferently: "Anyway, the dead are not my people. Since you guys want to try, why not send a few more people to try again."

She kept glancing at the servants who were loyal to the two families with malicious eyes.

Those people she saw were subconsciously avoiding her gaze because one of their companions had just died, and they did not dare to look at He Rong and Su Yuntian.

They were afraid that He Rong and Su Yuntian would use them to continue testing the Tianling Tower.

"Ning girl, we don't know the wonders of the Tianling Pagoda, how do you know?"

Su Yuntian couldn't help but question.

"In the upper realm, someone from the Galaxy Alliance took a liking to me and told me the secrets of the Heavenly Spirit Pagoda."

Luo Hongyan lied casually. Looking at the seemingly holy snow-white Tianling Tower, she also felt the rich "Xuan Yin power".

After hesitating for a moment, she suddenly said to Pang Jian: "There should be an array of spiritual stones at the bottom of the Tianling Tower to be responsible for the aerial operation of the Tianling Tower."

She raised her head and headed towards the top floor of the White Tower. She looked at the four open windows and said:

"On the top floor, there is another array. I don't know what spiritual materials it is made of, but I do know that due to the existence of that array, the Heavenly Spirit Tower can absorb the souls of nearby creatures."

"I don't know what the guy in the pit is doing right now. He probably hasn't noticed that the Tianling Tower has fallen."

"Before he comes out, we'd better destroy the array that poses the greatest threat to all of us. Because we have no way of knowing whether that guy can control the Heavenly Spirit Tower and ascend to heaven again after leaving the pit."

She spoke her mind.

Pang Jian nodded and said, "Well, Shangguan Qin didn't dare to say anything because she didn't want to alarm him."

"Shangguan Qin?"

"She's on the island too?"

Su Yuntian and He Rong asked hurriedly, and walked towards the highest point of the mountain while talking. They wanted to verify it personally.

Luo Hongyan said leisurely: "She waved her hand earlier, signaling us to quickly flee this island. Next to her is a pit pierced by phoenix bones. Someone must have obtained a drop of phoenix marrow from it and turned into a Heavenly Phoenix Guard."

"That man is definitely much more powerful than Ouyang Duanhai. Shangguan Qin thinks we'll just die if we go there."

He Rong and Su Yuntian heard it, but still went to the top of the hill and watched from there.

They also saw Shangguan Qin.

Next to the pit deep under the island, Shangguan Qin anxiously gestured to them to leave quickly.

Luo Hongyan's eyes flickered, and she said hesitantly: "Pang Jian, I can't get close to the Tianling Tower. Anyone else who gets close will die."

"But I don't know why. I feel that only you can get close to the Heavenly Spirit Tower without dying. If you can break the array that can suck souls with the spear in your hand after getting close to it, it will stop functioning."

She looked over expectantly.

Pang Jian was speechless, pointing at himself and asked, "Me?"

Luo Hongyan nodded seriously and said temptingly: "There should be a lot of spiritual stones on the bottom floor of the white tower. And the spiritual materials that form a strange soul formation on the top floor should also be quite precious."

Pang Jian shook his head: "I'm not going."

Luo Hongyan was secretly annoyed and glanced at his chest. She really wanted to say that with that magical bronze plate and the fact that he had refined another drop of phoenix marrow, he would be able to keep his soul from leaving his body.

But once she said this, her identity might be exposed, so she had to hold it in.

After a while.

"Forget it, I'll try it myself."

Seeing that she couldn't convince him, Luo Hongyan sighed helplessly and suddenly headed towards the white tower.

As soon as she walked towards the white tower, Pang Jian felt that the cold and gloomy "Xuanyin power" emanating from the white tower suddenly became much stronger.

The land of nothingness.

The enchanting blood shadow revealed by Luo Hongyan suddenly emitted a striking red light, which immediately alarmed the real Ning Yao.

“Wow!”

The beautiful figure in the red dress hidden in Ning Yao's mind was obviously being sucked by the Tianling Tower, twisting and swaying in Ning Yao's mind.

At the same time, Ning Yao clearly felt that the power that had been imprisoning her was also distorted.

The restrictions that Luo Hongyan had placed on her were actually being pulled by the Tianling Tower, and there were signs that they were about to be loosened.

Ning Yao, who longed for freedom, became excited immediately.

"Heh, if I was sucked away by the Heavenly Spirit Tower, do you think you can still survive?"

Luo Hongyan sneered and said softly, "Before I landed on the island, I didn't know that the White Tower would fall. I dared to go to the island because I felt that as long as I didn't enter the White Tower, I could stabilize my soul in your body."

"If I were sucked into the Heavenly Spirit Tower, wouldn't your fragile soul be torn to pieces in the blink of an eye?"

As soon as these words came out, the excited Ning Yaoru was poured with a bucket of cold water and suddenly calmed down.

In front of the White Pagoda.

Luo Hongyan suddenly turned around, two lines of blood flowing from her nostrils, as if she was trying her best to resist the pull of Bai Ta's soul.

Fear and despair suddenly appeared in her eyes. She stretched out her hand to Pang Jian, like a drowning person trying to grab the last straw, and screamed in horror: "Pang Jian, save me! Pull me back quickly, pull me away from Tianling Tower!"

She seemed to be infected by a terrifying evil force. She had no ability to evacuate the "Tianling Tower" by herself and could only wail in despair, longing for Pang Jian's help.

Su Yuntian, He Rong, and everyone else were shocked by this scene and felt horrified.

At this moment, she had already passed the corpse of the He family servant and was only ten steps away from the White Pagoda!

"Stay away from the Tianling Tower!"

Not only did He Rong have no intention of rescuing them, he also ordered all his loyal subordinates to stay away from the evil Tianling Tower.

"father!"

Su Meng screamed.

Su Yuntian had a gloomy face, shook his head calmly, and shouted: "You and I are at the same level as her. We are only at the Tongmai level. Since she can't hold on, we will die if we go over there. Don't do anything stupid!"

Seeing Su Meng's expression of reluctance, Su Yuntian, fearing that she would do something reckless under impulse, grabbed her arm.

Su Meng was controlled and looked at Luo Hongyan eagerly, feeling powerless.

"You are looking for death yourself, why do you have to drag me along?"

At this moment, Pang Jian cursed with a dark face and took a step closer to Luo Hongyan.

After one step, comes the second step, and then the third step.

Pang Jian didn't feel any discomfort!

The next moment, Su Meng felt his eyes blur and saw Pang Jian had arrived in front of Luo Hongyan.

This time he did not avoid suspicion. He grabbed Luo Hongyan's slender waist, held her in the air and quickly retreated.

"Pang... little brother!"

Under her father's control, Su Meng twisted her body and shouted excitedly, her round apple-like face flushed with excitement.

He Rong, Su Yuntian, and the servants of the two families all stared at the two men with wide eyes.

Pang Jian’s soul did not leave his body and was not sucked away by the soul formation in the white tower.

Luo Hongyan, who was held in his elbow and looked up at him awkwardly, had a strange light in her beautiful eyes.

In the real Ning Yao's mind, Luo Hongyan, dressed in a red dress, let out a smug giggle.

This laughter was full of joy and happiness, but only the real Ning Yao could hear it.

“Swish!”

Pang Jian returned in an instant, helped her steady and put her on the ground. His angular face was filled with coldness and impatience. He said coldly, "Next time you want to die, don't call me to save you."

Luo Hongyan's face was pale, as if she was very frightened, and there was blood under her pretty nose.

She wiped it casually, and her star-like bright eyes fixed on Pang Jian's face. She stared at him deeply but said nothing.

She ignored Su Yuntian, He Rong, and the two Qi Refining realm servants, as if they were all a group of dead people.

After a while, seeing that Pang Jian was uncomfortable with her gaze, Luo Hongyan said softly: "Aren't you alive and well? You see, my intuition is right, you are not affected by the Tianling Tower at all."

Pang Jian remained silent. From beginning to end he did not feel any discomfort, nor did he feel as if his soul was being pulled by evil forces.
