Chapter 1685: Chapter 175: Time-Space Soul-locking Tower (Part 2)
Of course, if the other party had harbored murderous intent earlier, then now, Lei Yan King would surely have killed the two, leaving no potential future trouble.
If others respect me a foot, I will return the respect by ten feet.
This is the principle of Lei Yan King’s Emotion Dao in dealing with the world, which is completely different from the method used by those with evil intentions.
In this situation, Lei Yan King left this message and immediately turned into a streak of light, flying swiftly in another direction.
After Lei Yan King left, the two young men in gray robes couldn’t help but exchange a bitter smile.
"Mr. Xiao, this time it’s my foolishness that almost got us both into trouble."
"Brother Wang, what are you saying? Not to mention that this incident was partly my idea as well, even if it wasn’t, it doesn’t really concern you, brother."
"Actually, this incident serves as a warning for us."
"Yes, I didn’t expect that young people today could grow to such an extent."
"It seems we can’t rely on our age anymore, or we might not even know how we end up dead in the future."
"Indeed, since that’s the case, this time, we should just leave. After all, in the confrontation, we have already been completely defeated. If others have given us face, how could we not accept it?"
"I also have the same thought. However, if we don’t obtain this Secret Realm this time, after the Nine Origin Reincarnation, we might all face difficulties."
"The Nine Origin Reincarnation can’t change much; it shouldn’t affect us on the True God Plane."
"Who knows, but having some foundation is better than having none, isn’t it?"
"Difficult, it really is too difficult."
...
After a long conversation, the two gray-robed young men no longer harbored any intentions towards this piece of Heaven and Earth. Instead, they exchanged a bitter smile and transformed into light, flying into the river of purple mist and thunder in the Void.
"Whoosh, whoosh—"
The two figures thus blended into the river, evidently choosing to leave directly.
As these figures departed, on the other side, a white-robed young man and a woman in a purple veil skirt encountered each other.
Facing an ancient black pagoda with a unique tower-shaped mark, the two of them confronted each other.
"Mu Qingyan, this pagoda was discovered by me, Gles, first. You wouldn’t want to go against my Ancient Elf Clan, would you?"
"So what if I do?"
The woman in the purple veil, Mu Qingyan, said coldly.
"You—Mu Qingyan, I have always respected you as the Extraordinary Woman of the Ten Thousand Realms. Now, you are so reckless; it is truly disappointing!"
"Giving you the pagoda is the only way to not disappoint you? How laughable! Not to mention this pagoda has the bloodline mark of my Netherworld Clan, even if it didn’t, I was the one who found it first; you merely arrived here slightly faster than me!"
Mu Qingyan sneered continuously, without the slightest intention of yielding.
"In that case, let’s see the truth with our skills!"
"If you want to fight, just say so!"
"Hmph!"
...
Gles grew angry, his pale yellow robe suddenly began to flutter, and his light yellow hair instantly danced. In front of him, a gigantic golden bow and arrow abruptly appeared.
The moment the bow and arrow appeared, it was gripped in his hand, then his figure moved, turning into countless shadows, each holding a bow and arrow, all aimed at Mu Qingyan.
At this moment, Mu Qingyan’s entire body emitted a vast number of pitch-black energy particles, which began to shatter and transform into swaths of black clouds.
While Mu Qingyan appeared to still be Mu Qingyan, she had already become like black smoke, impossible to lock onto.
But even so, Gles’s arrows still shot out directly.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—"
The terrifying sound of breaking through the sky, accompanied by extremely fierce strength, as if it could pierce through this section of the Void.
This power, erupting with such strength, nearly locked onto Mu Qingyan directly. Even as Mu Qingyan transformed into pitch-black particles, it seemed she couldn’t escape this deadly threat.
However, the endless black particles flickered in the world, and during the flickering, strands of dark killing intent incessantly assaulted Gles’s body.
In just a moment, Gles’ face turned a bit pale. Clearly, Gles was also attacked by the invisible force.
Because this kind of attack has no form, it can’t be blocked and can only be endured.
Luckily, the attack wasn’t a fatal blow, otherwise Gles would have been defeated instantly.
However, Gles was also incredibly fast, continuously dodging as the bow and arrow’s murderous intent exploded one after another, shattering black particles with arrows to the extreme.
This realm seemed to be in an explosion, constantly rumbling with terrifying power, shattering the void, and turning into formidable ripples that spread out in all directions.
It was at this moment that Lei Yan King flew in.
He immediately caught sight of the unique pagoda.
At that moment, Lei Yan King’s gaze was fixed.
The pagoda, at first glance by Lei Yan King, felt unfathomable, yet so familiar that Lei Yan King recognized its origin instantly.
Despite not knowing how the pagoda appeared, a name suddenly formed in his mind, a name he couldn’t deny.
"Time-Space Soul-locking Tower!"
Lei Yan King didn’t hide his thoughts, and even called out the name in an instant.
At that moment, the battle between Gles and Mu Qingyan also came to a sudden halt.
Their battle could still end in victory or defeat.
But with Lei Yan King’s arrival, the two couldn’t continue fighting, as it would directly allow Lei Yan King to profit from the situation.
In this scenario, neither were foolish, so they unanimously agreed to stop the battle.
"Halt!"
"Stop!"
Gles and Mu Qingyan almost simultaneously commanded.
Yet Lei Yan King did not heed their words at all.
Even though spotting Gles and Mu Qingyan stirred a familiar sensation in his heart, Lei Yan King seemed to be familiar with many things now—this familiarity made him gradually accustomed to such feelings, no longer paying them any attention.
"This pagoda, named ’Time-Space Soul-locking Tower’, is very important to me, Lei Yan King. Your faces, to me, feel very familiar and friendly, so please don’t make things difficult for me."
"I don’t wish to kill either of you."
"So, if you understand, kindly leave on your own."
As Lei Yan King spoke, he moved, appearing at the pagoda’s location, and directly executed the Emperor Qi Dragon Swallowing Sky Divine Skill, sweeping towards the pagoda.
"Boom--"
The void suddenly trembled. In the blink of an eye, Lei Yan King was about to seize the pagoda.
But at this instant, Lei Yan King sensed an extremely dangerous feeling.
His figure instinctively dodged.
At this time, a terrifying arrow had already directly pierced through—the arrow directly shattered the void where the pagoda stood, causing it to nearly collapse.
Simultaneously, a dreadful black particle appeared instantly, exploding and shattering the already collapsing void, creating a black hole.
The terrifying force caused Lei Yan King to instantly break into a cold sweat.
The combat power of the two was clearly very strong. Although their ability seemed inferior to Lei Yan King, their realms reached around Sword Venerate Eight Heavens, and with their extraordinary talents and astonishing combat power, they nearly managed to instantly kill Lei Yan King.
This moment made Lei Yan King no longer careless, as he steadied himself and stared intensely at Gles and Mu Qingyan’s faces.
Gles was extremely handsome, with fair skin that would cause even women to feel jealousy, and his natural temperament gave no rise to malice.
Seeing this person, there was an inexplicable sense of deterrence deep in Lei Yan King’s heart, almost a natural enmity.
Contrarily, regarding the veiled, indistinct face of the purple-clothed woman, Mu Qingyan, Lei Yan King’s heart generated an exceptionally unique familiarity, a familiar spiritual throbbing sensation, mysterious, as if entirely drawn towards her.
Yet, Lei Yan King was acutely aware that he wasn’t attracted to any woman, which suggested that this special feeling had other reasons.
Lei Yan King didn’t know why, nor did he wish to ponder it, because these two evidently formed an alliance and stood against him.
