Closing his mind, Gu Ling Xue heard the sounds of blades brushing past his ears, and the air seemed to be filled with the smell of blood.

Gu Ling Xue immediately stood up and walked out, but was stopped by the black clothed man guarding the door.

"Master. If there's an invasion, you might as well stay in the room. " He bent down respectfully. There was no trace of warmth in his ice-cold voice. However, the hand he extended expressed his attitude.

Her subordinates were actually afraid that she would be in danger and stop her?

There was a trace of helplessness and also a trace of anger.

Gu Ling Xue's tone was much colder than her, her body did not even move as she forcibly stopped the black clothed man's hand in the air: "Get out of the way."

Without any room for discussion, Gu Ling Xue pushed the black clothed man away and quickly walked out.

She, Gu Ling Xue, had not yet had the chance to be protected by a group of servants.

Outside the Dark Tower's door, due to the unknown invading guests, the walls of the Dark Tower had already collapsed. The hidden guards had also started to fight with outsiders.

At this moment, a beautiful figure suddenly broke in.

The man's robe fluttered in the wind, and the man in black who was fighting with the guards collapsed. The hidden guards looked behind them in pleasant surprise, only to see a very familiar and respectful figure.

Gu Ling Xue stood proudly between the two teams. Dressed in a plain long robe, she seemed to be incompatible with the two sides' black battle camps, yet she felt that they were coincidentally compatible.

"Master."

Voices rose and fell one after another behind Gu Ling Xue, but endless words were hidden behind them.

None of them had expected that the person who would be able to save them in this critical moment would be the new master that they had always looked down upon.

Lifting his chin, Gu Ling Xue looked at the person leading the group of people outside the wall. Just as he was about to control his mind, he could clearly sense that the other party had craftily escaped.

Gu Ling Xue was immediately stunned.

This person's cultivation was actually so deep.

After more than ten days of cultivation and the abundant spirit energy of Dark Tower, Gu Ling Xue was fortunate enough to level up to the fourth stage. However, she didn't expect that in the first battle after she had levelled up, the other party would already be able to escape.

Just who were they?

Everyone watched with their own eyes, only to see that in the next second, Gu Ling Xue was wrapped up by the light that was being emitted from that power.

In an instant, the entire Dark Tower was filled with the shouts of the dark guards and the undisguised laughter of the black clothed men.

Immediately, a man in silver robes stood out from the group of black-clothed men. It was only at this moment that the dark guards noticed his existence.

"Heh, the master of the Dark Tower is only so-so."

The scornful mocking laughter passed through the wind and entered the ears of every shadow guard present. However, they did not dare to speak out in anger.

They had experienced the power of their master before, and if their master wasn't able to fight back, then even they wouldn't be able to.

Therefore, they couldn't be impatient at the moment. They had to stall for time and think of a countermeasure.

With this thought in mind, the dark guards who were originally ready to make a move were all suppressed by the other dark guards who had a clear understanding of the situation.

Everyone suppressed their anger and waited for the silver robed man's next move.

However, the light on Gu Ling Xue's body, who was attacked by the black clothed man earlier, started to flicker strangely.

"Kill them all!" Not willing to waste any more time with this group of trash, the silver-robed man decided to immediately silence them.

However, just as the word "kill" came out of his mouth …

Suddenly, an explosive sound rang out in the direction where the light had been. Everyone looked towards the source of the sound and found that a ball of light was rapidly moving towards the silver-robed man.

Before anyone could react, the silver-robed man was surrounded by the ball of light.

The next moment, the warm light burst out.

At the same time, Gu Ling Xue appeared unharmed right in front of the dark guard.

"Heh, it's nothing more than that."

The cold female voice, the familiar voice, once again echoed in the ears of the Dark Guard. Although it was full of mockery, the dark guards still felt their hearts warm up.

His master hadn't died.

The morale that had been dissipated suddenly rose.

"You should be thankful to me. You can taste the feeling of being attacked by yourself."

That's right, the power that surrounded the silver-gowned man earlier was the power that the silver-gowned man thought he had used to attack Gu Ling Xue.

He would return the favor with the other.

After the explosion, the light surrounding the silver-robed man gradually dispersed. The silver-robed man who had forcefully withstood this attack no longer had the elegant demeanor from before; instead, his entire body was in a sorry state.

Wiping away the dust from his body that was tainted by the war, Gu Ling Xue smiled at the man in front of him.

Gu Ling Xue suddenly felt grateful to the other party.

What he did not know was that after ten days of promotion, the summoning technique that Gu Ling Xue had cultivated was not solid, it levelled up too quickly, and besides training himself, Gu Ling Xue also relied on some special pills to help him level up.

However, after today's battle, his originally superficial strength had now become much more stable.

Gu Ling Xue was in a great mood as she walked towards the silver-gowned man with the lotus steps.

"Tell me, who sent you?" His index finger and thumb gripped his chin tightly, forcing him to look at them.

"Or, who are you?" With cold eyes, he stared straight at the man in front of him, but Gu Ling Xue did not see the fear in his eyes.

Interesting.

The silver gowned man had been standing in front of Gu Ling Xue the entire time, expressionless, but his face was in a sorry state because of his injuries.

After ruthlessly hitting off Gu Ling Xue's hand, the silver gowned man's eyes didn't have a single ripple.

"You are not worthy of knowing!"

A clear and cold voice came out from the man's mouth. It was extremely pleasant to the ears.

Due to the attack, a cloud of dust was sent flying in all directions.

Coincidentally, with Gu Ling Xue in the lead, everyone's line of sight was blurred.

Gu Ling Xue hurriedly ran forward a few steps, but realised that the man who was originally in front of him had already disappeared without a trace.

The dust gradually settled, and the originally black mass of men in black had completely disappeared.

"Dammit!"

Swiftly walking forward, he pulled out the dart and saw a strange pattern impressively drawn on the dart.

"Go and check what this pattern is." After passing the dart from before to An Ying, Gu Ling Xue's gaze shifted towards the place where the men had disappeared to.

Dark Tower, who had originally thought that he was extremely well hidden, had now been easily broken through.

Only now did he realise that all this time, the Dark Tower had been using this strange rock that was naturally formed at all times to protect this land.

Although it was easy to defend but hard to attack, it was still very easy if someone wanted to take down this place.

He pursed his lips and remembered that he would be leaving soon. If the Dark Tower were to be ambushed again at that time, they would likely not be as easy to deal with as they were today.

After thinking about it carefully, Gu Ling Xue ordered all the hidden guards to return to their positions, and walked out of Dark Tower alone.

If she remembered correctly, the had detailed records of the Dark Tower's topographic protective array formation.

Out of all of the array formations, the Heaven's Drying Formation was the most suitable for the Dark Tower's terrain.

Swiftly walking to the boundary a hundred meters away from the Dark Tower, Gu Ling Xue observed her surroundings before setting her target on a strange protruding rock.

That's it.

Every array needed an eye, but the eye of the Heavenly Array was very special. The protective items and the eye of the array were in completely different places.

So, even if they discovered the formation, if they didn't know the way to break it, no one would discover the special Formation Aperture.

It was precisely because he had this special advantage that he had such a strong offensive and defensive ability. Therefore, this formation was extremely suitable for Dark Tower.

Gu Ling Xue clasped her hands together, the tip of her fingers slowly suffused a faint blue light before slowly pouring it into the strange stone.

Very quickly, the blue light spread to its surroundings, and there was even a slight flame within it.

Finally, the blue light spread out for a hundred miles and easily enveloped the Dark Tower within it. Gu Ling Xue withdrew her hands in satisfaction, and the strange stone also disappeared after the formation was complete.

He glanced at the formation he had set up with satisfaction.

Although this was the first time using the array, but because of the difficulty of the array, adding on the nine fires that she had secretly added in.

Thus, it was likely that ordinary people would not be able to enter or break this formation.

Other than the people within the Dark Tower, anyone who tried to break into the array would instantly disappear.

Gu Ling Xue looked into the distance, and then, without hesitating anymore, she walked towards Gu Family.

His top priority right now was to attend Lin Family's wedding.

It was time to end her grudge with the Lin Family.

The moment Gu Ling Xue stepped into her own courtyard, she heard a rare angry rebuke from Gu Ling Shu.

"What are you guys doing!?" "You don't even know where the young mistress went?"

Gu Ling Xue's footsteps became gentle, one of the servants noticed that she had suddenly appeared and wanted to say something, but Gu Ling Xue quickly covered her mouth.

Gu Ling Xue signaled the servants not to talk too much and slowly walked towards Gu Ling Shu.

"Speak!" Are you all mute!? "

Gu Ling Shu had always shown gentleness in front of her, so Gu Ling Xue had always thought that he would not be too angry because of his temper, but looking at it now, Gu Ling Xue was surprised.

The originally gentle young man was now anxious because of her loss.

Only then did Gu Ling Shu realize that something was wrong with the servant. He turned around angrily, but the moment he saw Gu Ling Xue, his expression froze.

And at this moment, the previous irritable tone had become extremely rough, "Ling Ling Xue."
