Chapter 157: Chapter 157: The Fox Race Girl in the Demon Suppression Tower (Weekend Extra)

Lu Changsheng used the Within Reach, Ends of the Earth Talisman to instantly teleport to the Demon Suppression Tower beneath the Immortal Ruins.

There were two forbidden areas in these ruins, one was the Star Tower, and the other was the Demon Suppression Tower.

Within the Star Tower lay the legacy of the ruins’ master, an adventure for Shen Xiaoyao, the Son of Fortune. Lu Changsheng had no intention to interfere but instead headed to the second forbidden area, the Demon Suppression Tower.

With the aid of a noble, Shen Xiaoyao would Turn Misfortune into Fortune even without Lu Changsheng by his side.

Lu Changsheng, accompanied by his other three disciples, explored the Demon Suppression Tower.

The Demon Suppression Tower stood a hundred zhang tall, its exterior bound by iron chains, and its body plastered with countless talismans, at least tens of thousands in number, each of a grade no less than the eighth.

“Is there also a barrier?”

Lu Changsheng discovered that there was a Five Thunder Barrier surrounding the Demon Suppression Tower, which cultivators below the Dao Palace Realm could not enter.

No wonder the highest-level native cultivators in the Immortal Ruins, who were only at the Nascent Soul Realm, could never get close to the Demon Suppression Tower.

“There must be tens of thousands of talismans on the tower body. I cannot begin to imagine the power of the Demon Suppression Tower in the distant past. But the power of these talismans has been exhausted over the countless years. Otherwise, even I, at the Void Refinement Realm, would not be able to come in.”

Using his Void Refinement Realm strength, Lu Changsheng forcefully broke the barrier and entered the Demon Suppression Tower with his three disciples.

Inside the Demon Suppression Tower were the white bones of demonic beasts everywhere.

“It seems that the demonic beasts inside the Demon Suppression Tower have died of old age.”

Lu Changsheng had thought that inside the tower there might actually be some ferocious Great Demons, but upon entering, he saw that the power of the Demon Suppression Tower was nearly exhausted and not a single demonic beast had been spared. Where could the ferocious Great Demons be?

Mo Huazhi said, “Perhaps a long, long time ago, there were indeed countless Unequaled Great Demons imprisoned here. Otherwise, the master of the ruins wouldn’t have specifically constructed a Demon Suppression Tower and suppressed the group of demons with tens of thousands of talismans. But as time flies, no Great Demon could live until this day. Moreover, many mechanisms inside the tower have also become ineffective.”

“Hmm.”

Lu Changsheng saw many mechanisms inside the tower like iron chains and Demon-Suppressing Columns, which were as good as non-existent without the power provided by the Demon Suppression Tower.

There were twelve levels in the Demon Suppression Tower, and Lu Changsheng’s group made their way to the twelfth floor.

Demonic Qi?

Just when Lu Changsheng thought they would leave empty-handed, he sensed a faint demonic qi on the twelfth level of the Demon Suppression Tower.

Lu Changsheng’s scalp tingled.

If all the other demonic beasts in the Demon Suppression Tower had died of old age, was there actually a Great Demon still alive?

How terrifying would that Great Demon be?

“You all step back.”

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and instructed his less cultivated disciples to stay behind him.

Since they had come this far, it would be a regret if Lu Changsheng did not see for himself what was inside the Demon Suppression Tower.

Lu Changsheng drew out the Blazing Extermination Sword, invoked the Mysterious Yellow Tower, and held a Within Reach, Ends of the Earth Talisman in his hand, ready to flee at a moment’s notice.

“This demonic qi doesn’t seem very strong. I can handle it.”

In the depths of the twelfth level of the Demon Suppression Tower, a young girl with waist-length black hair and breathtaking beauty was in deep slumber. She looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, her breathing calm, and most peculiarly, her white fox tail moved from time to time.

Time seemed to have frozen.

Was this the incredibly ferocious ancient demonic beast mentioned by the local cultivators?

No matter how Lu Changsheng looked at it, she did not seem to be a ferocious Great Demon, and her aura was only at the level of the Qi Transformation Realm of the human race.

“Could she be a descendant of the Fox Race? Moreover, her ability to transform at the Qi Transformation Realm suggests she might possess extremely high talent.”

According to the records of Mount Shu, the Demonic loose cultivators could transform into human form after attaining a level of cultivation. The earlier they could transform, the higher their talent was said to be.

Normally, the Nascent Soul Realm demons could initially transform, while only at the Void Refinement Realm could they fully transform.

And yet, the young girl of the Fox Race in front of him had managed to transform at the Foundation Establishment Realm, leaving only a singular fox tail behind.

Surrounding the fox tribe girl was an ancient sealing array, affixed with numerous ancient talismans of a level even Lu Changsheng did not recognize. There were densely packed at least a few hundred of them, and their grade might have surpassed that of the ninth-grade talismans.

However, with the passage of time, the magic within the talismans had been completely exhausted.

Yet what piqued Lu Changsheng’s curiosity was why, in their lifetime, did the owner of the Immortal Ruins use several hundred talismans exceeding ninth-grade to seal a fox tribe girl whose cultivation was only at the Qi Transformation Realm?

Wasn’t that a bit too extravagant?

With the cultivation of the Immortal Ruins’ owner, they could have erased this fox tribe girl with the flick of a finger.

[Ding, the system has searched and found a suitable disciple candidate… One has been found.]

[Ding, the disciple candidate found by the system is the fox tribe girl before you.]

Hmm?

While Lu Changsheng was contemplating whether to release this demon race girl, the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator unexpectedly responded first.

The Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator seemed indifferent to the disciple’s race, whether it be human, Huang Tribe, or Demon Race, as long as the candidate’s aptitude met the system’s requirements, they could be taken in as a disciple.

The information of the demon race girl appeared within Lu Changsheng’s sea of consciousness.

[Name: Ji Xuan]

[Race: Demon Race]

[Talent: Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, Demon God Physique, Five Elements Spirit Root, Forever Young, Unequaled Grace]

[Cultivation: Qi Transformation Realm, fifth layer]

[Dao Bone: 15 years]

“Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox! Demon God Physique!”

For the first time, Lu Changsheng saw a person, no, more accurately, a fox demon, who actually possessed two special physiques!

Though Lu Changsheng could not be certain of the grade of the demon race girl’s Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox and Demon God Physique, the mere names of these special physiques suggested that they were extraordinary.

What Lu Changsheng found most peculiar was the age of the fox tribe girl, who was only 15 years old.

Other formidable Great Demons with higher cultivations within the Demon Suppression Tower had turned to bones over the countless ages, yet the fox tribe girl remained forever at the age of 15.

“Could it be that the formation which sealed this girl was not meant to suppress her, but to protect her?”

Lu Changsheng contemplated from a different perspective and suddenly realized the truth.

If it weren’t for the Demon Suppression Tower’s twelfth-layer formation sealing her, she might have perished long ago like the other demonic beasts trapped inside the Demon Suppression Tower.

“Fortunately, the magic power of the Demon Suppression Tower is almost depleted; I can break this seal and take the girl with me.”

Lu Changsheng did not mind taking in a demon race disciple.

The owner of the Immortal Ruins had gone to the trouble of setting up elaborate formations to protect this girl, so there must have been a reason.

“Break.”

Lu Changsheng activated the Taiqing Wuji Technique to break the formation sealing the fox tribe girl.

“Who are you…”

The fox tribe girl was startled awake, her eyes bleary as she rubbed them. Her eyelashes fluttered, and upon seeing a handsome man entering the formation, she could not help but feel timid, her fox tail bristling.

“Do not be afraid, I am not a bad person. The magic power of the Demon Suppression Tower is about to be exhausted, and if you continue to remain here, you will turn to bones like the other demons.”

Lu Changsheng was thinking about how to dispel the fox girl’s wariness and to earnestly take her under his wing.

This was a supreme genius with double special physiques, after all.

Chances were, the Demon Lord of Huang State might not even have talents comparable to this sealed fox tribe girl inside the Demon Suppression Tower.

The fox tribe girl blinked her bright eyes and remained on guard, “But, why should I believe you?”
