Chapter 1930 - 1926: Ten Thousand Poisons Block the Path
"Fellow Sun, there’s no need for this, I do not mean to blame Your Excellency. Without this Kun Scale, we wouldn’t have been able to find the correct path into the East Sea Abyss." Shen Luo said calmly while communicating with Nie Caizhu and helping up Granny Sun.
"Thank you for your generosity, Friend Shen. Oh, your cultivation level..." Granny Sun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and upon closely inspecting Shen Luo and the group, she immediately noticed the change in Shen Luo’s cultivation with a look of astonishment.
After advancing to the Taiyi Realm, each promotion within it is extremely difficult, taking as much time as advancing a major realm previously. Yet, Shen Luo, who was just in the early-stage Taiyi, has inexplicably advanced to the Taiyi Late Stage in such a short period!
"I just had some chance encounters. What brings the three of you to the Demon-suppressing Tower; could it be you are also here for the treasure at the top of the tower?" Shen Luo diverted the topic and asked.
"Rest assured, Brother Shen, we are not here for any treasure within the Demon-suppressing Tower, but to rescue someone who is on the Fifth Layer of the tower." Seeing Shen Luo had advanced to the Taiyi Late Stage made Granny Sun even more wary, fearing any misunderstandings, she hastily explained.
"Locked in the Fifth Layer..." Shen Luo thought to himself.
According to what the Tear Demon said earlier, several formidable demons are imprisoned on the Fifth Layer of the Demon-suppressing Tower; could it be that the person Granny Sun and others want to rescue is one of them?
"I see, we also need to go to the Fifth Layer of the Demon-suppressing Tower. Since we have met by chance, why not travel together? It’d be good to have mutual support if we encounter danger." Shen Luo did not press Granny Sun on whom she wanted to rescue but instead suggested a partnership.
"Our Daughter Village is weak in strength, if we could get help from Friend Shen, it would be more than we could ever wish for." Granny Sun agreed without any hesitation.
The group exchanged pleasantries for a while and soon continued on their journey.
In the dark space of the Fifth Layer, the light curtain displaying the images of Shen Luo and the others still shone, and Granny Sun and the others also appeared on the light curtain.
"Hehe, it seems your followers are quite loyal to you, daring to risk entering here to rescue you." The voice that had summoned the light curtain sounded again, but it had changed from before, now carrying the sound of metal and stone clashing, gradually becoming ear-piercing.
