Chapter 83: 79: The Poisonous Elder, Why Did the Tower Master Rebel?_2

Under the guidance of Miss Bai, they quickly reached the seventh floor.

Before entering the seventh floor, Su Heng saw Miss Bai briefly stop, swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

It was obvious...

Even as an elder, she had some fear of the next several floors.

So much so that her aura became considerably more stern.

"Heeheehee, is there a newcomer?" The structure of the seventh floor was not much different from the sixth, just a bit smaller in area.

They had just turned into a long corridor from the massive stone steps.

On the left side of the corridor,

From a rust-covered cell, came a hoarse, playful laughter.

Su Heng stopped in his tracks and saw a skeletal arm stretching out from inside the cell.

Taking a step forward to look further inside,

There was an old man in a green robe with messy hair in the cell.

His skin was covered with festering sores; it seemed as if only a layer of skin was draped over his bones. Almost all his teeth had fallen out of his mouth, and when he laughed, green saliva dripped steadily from the corners of his mouth, hissing as it hit the floor.

"Elder Bai, hehehe..." The old man in green bent down, sticking his head out, trying to get a look under Miss Bai's robe.

Miss Bai frowned and stepped back.

Su Heng furrowed his brows and forcefully crushed the old man's arm underfoot, causing the old man to scream in pain immediately.

"Who is this guy?" Su Heng felt he was quite disgusting.

"He's the Toxic Elder from the Sky Demon Alliance, skilled in corpse refining," Miss Bai said cautiously, just within those few words.

The Toxic Elder's arm that was just crushed had already healed to its original state.

He clearly was not a demon, and it was unknown how he had achieved this.

"Such a powerful fleshly body," the Toxic Elder said with a demented smile, looking at Su Heng, "If it could be used to make corpses, it would surely be very formidable."

Su Heng furrowed his brows, and Miss Bai continued to speak.

"He once killed a female elder from the Demon Suppression Bureau and made her into a corpse maiden, throwing her into a brothel," Miss Bai said, "Few dare to provoke the Demon Suppression Bureau like this, and the Tower Master personally took action, wiped out a Demon Cave, and captured him, incarcerating him here."

"Why not just kill such a disgusting thing?" Su Heng wondered aloud.

"For two reasons,"

Miss Bai explained, "On one hand, although captured, he has crafted a great number of corpses still circulating outside. Much can be learned from interrogating him, which helps in tackling them. On the other hand, even among the Sky Demon Alliance, there are few so utterly vicious. Granting him a swift death would be too lenient."

"Corpse refining..."

Su Heng thought back to the day he went to Baihua County.

On Canglong Mountain, he encountered those living corpses, which, although not much for Su Heng,

Posed a considerable challenge for the ordinary disciples and officials of the Demon Suppression Bureau with their impervious-to-weapons bodies and immense strength.

Identifying their weaknesses would make dealing with them much easier.

Leaving the Toxic Elder's cell behind, they continued forward, and soon a huge, over two-meter-tall fat man appeared in front of Su Heng.

The fat man had a catfish-like big mouth with thick lips fringed by several flesh-like tentacles.

His belly was swollen high, and his skin was purple-black in color.

Upon seeing Su Heng, the fat man kept giggling stupidly, looking rather naive.

"Too much fat on his body, eating him would be greasy," Su Heng thought regretfully.

"His name is Moke, and he was originally a fisherman near the riverbank. But after falling into the river one time, something filthy must have affected him, causing his body to suddenly swell,"

Seeing Su Heng's serious expression, Miss Bai warned, "Don't be deceived by his naive appearance; he is actually quite dangerous. When Elder Zhao Zongwu personally led the team to capture him, an official still got swallowed alive by him."

Moving forward, the next cell contained a figure wrapped entirely in bandages, with only a sharp, large mouth visible.

"What is this?" Su Heng asked.

"A demon servant created by a Demon King of the Sky Demon Alliance. Though merely a servant, its strength is no less formidable than the elders of the Demon Suppression Bureau," Miss Bai said with some trepidation.

"Demon Kings of the Sky Demon Alliance," Su Heng asked, "what level of existence is that?"

"Baihua County has seven great Demon Suppression families; correspondingly, the Sky Demon Alliance has seven Demon Kings," Miss Bai explained, "These great demons are all of Fierce Level four and above, possessing incredible talents and divine skills. The strongest among them is even not weaker than the Tower Master."

Su Heng nodded, committing this to memory, and continued forward.

After a few steps, he stopped again, spotting a familiar figure in the cell, and immediately raised his eyebrows in surprise.

In a cell made of luminous stones, a beautiful young girl was imprisoned.



Dressed in red, her long hair disheveled.

Chains wrapped around her fair wrists, faintly showing some red marks.

She buried her head in her thighs, curling up into a ball, silent, isolating herself from the messy world around her.

This beautiful girl was none other than Li Hongxiu from the upper floors.

On that day, Li Daoxuan had rescued Li Hongxiu from Su Heng's hands and transferred her into the Demon Suppression Tower.

Li Hongxiu heard some noise outside.

She lifted her head and saw Su Heng's face with a smile.

Her pupils suddenly constricted, and her emaciated shoulders trembled visibly.

She took two deep breaths, turned around, faced the corner, and showed her slender back to Su Heng as if she didn't see him and remained motionless.

Seeing this scene,

Miss Bai was obviously surprised.

"This girl is a rare fierce ghost, I didn't expect her to be so scared of you," Miss Bai tilted her head, "Did you know each other before?"

"Sort of," Su Heng thought for a moment and gave a vague answer.

Miss Bai didn't ask further.

They continued forward, and a huge staircase appeared in the darkness.

Going up would take them to the eighth level, where some of the imprisoned demons were not weaker than the Family Heads.

Miss Bai held up a candle, ready to climb the stairs. But just then, the flame violently flickered, and a strong vibration came from beneath their feet.

The Demon Suppression Tower shook twice.

Cracks appeared on the walls, and with a snapping sound, dust and stones fell from the ceiling, making noise.

Miss Bai was startled at first, her expression unusually serious.

"This is bad."

"What's going on?" Su Heng asked as all the demons on the seventh floor became frenzied before his eyes.

"It's the fluctuation of the earth's veins weakening the seals," Miss Bai said, "If a demon escapes from the cage, the consequences are unimaginable."

"Do you have the Token on you?" Miss Bai asked urgently.

"Yes," Su Heng said.

"That's good," Miss Bai breathed a sigh of relief, "First use the Token to strengthen the seal, then we'll figure out a solution."

While they were talking, there was a crisp snap.

The isolation grille made of luminous stone cracked and broke bit by bit, and the enormous fellow called Momo burst out of the cell.

"Freedom!"

The fat man shouted loudly, his voice echoing.

Seemingly stimulated by the scene before them, the other demons also started to violently hit the bars.

The situation quickly became extremely chaotic and critical.

"I'll hold him off, you quickly use the Token to control the formation," Miss Bai held up her sword, its sharp blade aimed at Momo, and urged.

Su Heng fiddled with the Token for a while, then injected his strength into it.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

A series of explosive noises followed.

As Miss Bai watched in shock, Su Heng opened all the isolation bars on the entire seventh level.

"Finally escaped from this hell."

"Freedom!"

"Li Daoxuan, I will make sure you die a horrible death!"

Demonic Qi churned, forming a dark tide, and in an instant, the entire seventh level erupted in a frenzy of demons, the chaotic noise and will shaking Miss Bai's body.



She silently turned around.

Her sword, initially aimed at the demon, now pointed at Su Heng.

"Why does the Tower Master rebel?" Even in such a situation, Miss Bai's serious expression didn't seem threatening.
