Chapter 1162: [864] Eliminate Black Nightmare (First Release, Seeking Monthly Votes)

Tang Lu’s expression changed slightly.

Not caring about the surprise of those around, he quickly issued an order: “We have just received news that people from the tomb-raiding Wei Family have appeared within Liyue Mountain… It can be concluded that they have found the Inheritance Land of the Nine Ice Ascendant. Yu Long, you and Fish Tail rush over immediately. I have already notified the Eternal Night higher-ups nearby. We must seize the inheritance of the Nine Ice Ascendant.”

“Understood, Fish Tail and I are already on our way. But should we contact Zhou Shenghao? We were originally going to ask his teacher to come out of retirement early.”

Yu Long’s voice in the communication channel was urgent.

Tang Lu said in a deep voice: “There’s no time. I’ve received news that an explosion has occurred in Liyue Mountain, and the explosion site is the entrance to the Inheritance Land. Hurry over, and if there is an issue with the ruins, do not rush in recklessly. Guard the entrance. I’m seeking assistance from a Cloud Sky Level predecessor.”

“Understood.”

After the communication ended.

Tang Lu quickly began taking actions.

However, the fact that the Nine Ice Ascendant’s inheritance was discovered right under his watch also made him somewhat angry.

Suddenly, his expression changed again.

“Even the Swordsman Luo Hai has appeared? Damn it, how did they manage to do that! Quick, contact the Cloud Sky Level predecessor! This guy is a Cloud Sky Level Sword Master!”

…

“Kill them!”

In front of the Stone Building, Wei Donglai had a ferocious smile on his face.

As soon as his voice fell.

But it was the woman in the black dress who took action first. The Red Ling Ribbon in her hand flew out instantly, turning into a red glow.

The two guards who rushed from behind Wei Donglai were instantly strangled by the red glow.

This scene not only changed the complexion of the Wei Family guards but also scared Wei Donglai witless.

He staggered a step.

And turned to flee.

However, the red glow easily entwined his legs and directly hoisted him over.

“Release our young master!”

Those guards were indeed loyal to the core.

But it was in vain.

The woman in the black dress was “merciful” to Pei Jinye, but that didn’t mean she would be merciful to these people.

The red glow split into several strands in mid-air.

Without delay, it eradicated these people.

“You woman are truly ruthless.” A burly man’s voice came from the entrance nearby.

His presence was fierce and aggressive.

Upon seeing this, Pei Jinye stepped back, letting the woman in the black dress stand in front of him.

This action also caused the woman in the black dress to turn back and glare at him annoyance.

Pei Jinye spread his hands, showing an innocent expression.

The woman in the black dress couldn’t be bothered with him, and tossed Wei Donglai over: “Watch him.”

After speaking, she turned her cold gaze towards the burly man who was approaching, the man confidently dragging a Silver Great Sword.

“Following you guys all the way has indeed saved me some trouble, but it’s a pity that the beast in Blood Dragon Pool didn’t drain your energy, which is quite regrettable.”

The woman in the black dress immediately narrowed her eyes, silent.

Her heart sank.

She had actually failed to notice his tracking.

The burly man was not at all flustered. With a wave of his hand, he laughed heartily and said: “Woman, you are strong. Be my woman, and I’ll guarantee you wealth and honor.”

“Seeking death!”

The woman in the black dress seemed to have been provoked, and she immediately maneuvered the Red Ling Ribbon to strike and kill.

“Good, good, good, woman, you really suit my taste.”

The burly man let out a hearty laugh.

With a flip of his hand,

the silver giant sword immediately burst into brilliant sword light, radiant to the extreme.

A thunderous boom exploded under his feet.

With a ferocity embodying the utmost evil, he viciously chopped at the lady in the black dress’s head.

“Bang” went the sound.

The light from the red ling ribbon immediately weakened several notches.

Yet, the expression of the lady in the black dress remained largely unchanged as she charged forward again.

Both appeared to be of Cloud Sky Level, suppressing their power to the peak of Cave Heaven Level. When they clashed, it was earth-shatteringly intense.

Not wanting to be collateral damage, Pei Jinye continued to move back, taking Wei Donglai with him.

Wei Donglai, terrified to the point of snot and tears just now, regained his senses and looked at Pei Jinye earnestly: “Senior, spare my life, I beg you.”

Pei Jinye glanced at him, averted his gaze, and responded indifferently: “I’m in no position to help myself. As you can see, I was also captured.”

Wei Donglai was taken aback.

His expression was laughably perplexed.

He looked at Pei Jinye in astonishment, then at the two figures entangled behind him, his face ashen, he fell to the ground completely drained of strength.

Pei Jinye paid him no attention, his eyes surveying the ancient building not far away.

In secret, he began to dispel the Black Nightmare on his right arm with Karmic Fire…

And it actually seemed to work.

With this, Pei Jinye felt slightly relieved.

About two or three minutes later,

two-thirds of the Black Nightmare on his right arm had been eliminated.

But then he suddenly heard Wei Donglai whisper: “Brother, do you fancy escaping together?”

Pei Jinye looked over emotionlessly.

This kid’s so weak, and yet he dares to say such a thing. Is he really not afraid of death?

He didn’t believe that the mad woman couldn’t hear him.

Yet the burly man was not a character to be taken lightly either, as the two had been evenly matched in their battle for so long.

Seeing Pei Jinye not responding, Wei Donglai grew a bit anxious. Troubled by the red silk threads on his body, he dared not make any rash moves, so he could only lower his voice and say: “Brother, I’m not going to lie to you, it was my idea to come here. But being weak, I had to seek help from my Third Uncle, who is a powerful individual at the Eternal Star Peak Level.”

A flicker of interest flashed in Pei Jinye’s eyes, but he remained silent.

Wei Donglai hastily added: “I swear I’m not deceiving you, brother. I came here of my own will, but because my strength is too weak, I had to ask for the assistance of my Third Uncle.”

A smirk tugged at the corner of Pei Jinye’s mouth.

What gave this kid such confidence?

He, being of Eternal Star Level, couldn’t help but feel inferior.

Wei Donglai’s expression began to show some frustration, but he still spoke firmly: “This stone building is the True Ice Tower. I know how to activate it. But my Power of the Stars is too weak to start it. I hope you, brother, can lend a hand.”

Pei Jinye squinted.

This kid seemed to know quite a bit.

Lowering his voice, he took the opportunity to ask: “This stone building… do you really know how to activate it?”

“Of course, I wouldn’t deceive you in a life-or-death situation,” Wei Donglai said cautiously, glancing back at the two figures fighting in the distance.

Then he assuredly continued: “Once the formation of the True Ice Tower is activated, it’ll certainly cause destruction to this place… The Nine Ice Ascendant left behind 108 Array Methods. So far, we have only managed to break through a dozen or so, which is like trying to douse a burning cart with a cup of water. If the formation is activated, the rest of the Array Methods will operate simultaneously, and by then… not to mention Cave Heaven Level, even those at Cloud Sky Level will have no place to be buried…

But if you help me, I can use the Array’s Eye to protect you from harm. Then we can take the opportunity to leave. What do you say?”

Pei Jinye’s face seemed moved by the offer, but he still shook his head and said: “You were trying to kill me just now. If I help you, wouldn’t it be a trivial matter for you to turn on me in the end?”

Wei Donglai quickly replied: “I can make an oath, a venomous oath. You and I have no previous grievances; in fact, both of us are here because of that woman… I acknowledge your innocence, so I will definitely not strike against you. I swear it, a truly venomous oath!”

Pei Jinye pondered: “First, tell me about the True Ice Tower… How much do you understand?”
