Chapter 560 Rest in Peace

This mysterious black-robed man was the leader of the sixth-level Jindan demon cultivator who escaped after a battle with Song Qingming and others in the canyon the day before.

When the four of them entered the Tongtian Tower that day, they happened to be near the teleportation array that Song Qingming and others took. After being teleported here, they soon found Song Qingming and others who were searching for spiritual objects below the canyon.

These demon cultivators thought they had a powerful array and could hunt Song Qingming and others after setting traps, but they still underestimated their strength, and they didn't expect that there was a third-level array master like Song Qingming among them, so they failed.

The young man called Master by the black-robed man, the aura he exuded was obviously at the Nascent Soul stage. This person was a Nascent Soul old demon who had been dominating the Fuyun Mountains for a thousand years, the Black Wind Patriarch.

After hearing the explanation of the black-robed man, the Black Wind Ancestor glanced at him with a pair of cold eyes, and asked with an unhappy face: "When I contacted you just now, Lao Liu and Yulong had no reaction. I'm afraid their physical bodies should have been destroyed.

At this time, whether it is the human race or the demon race, basically all the famous masters have come up. What kind of powerful people did you guys meet to make you fight so miserably?"

"What do you mean even the physical body of the sixth junior brother has been destroyed?" Hearing that the Black Wind Ancestor said that two companions did not escape, the black-robed man's face did not change much, but he was still slightly surprised.

Another Jindan sixth-level demon cultivator who was surrounded and killed by Song Qingming and others was not much weaker than him. After knowing this news, the black-robed man felt a little scared at this moment. Obviously, they underestimated the strength of Song Qingming and others at the beginning.

"The other side... There is no one who is particularly powerful among them. They just have more people than me. Later, they broke the Xuanyin formation we set up, which made us fail."

"Hmph! You four acted together, but you were beaten like this by a group of casual cultivators. You are really a bunch of trash!"

Hearing the angry rebuke of the Black Wind Patriarch, the black-robed man could only stand aside with his head down and embarrassed, not daring to say anything more!

Seeing the black-robed man being scolded, another disciple who had been standing behind the Black Wind Patriarch laughed and said, "Master! Do you want me and the eldest brother to go down and see if we can find these people?"

"Forget it! I came in this time with the Tongtian Order on purpose. How can I waste time here? Don't worry about this matter first, follow me!"

"Oh! Master, Junior Brother Cao hasn't arrived yet. Should we wait for him?" The black-robed man heard that the Black Wind Patriarch was about to set off now, and asked again with some confusion on his face.

After glancing at the other party, Black Wind Ancestor shook his head and said, "It's been so long since he arrived. This kind of trash is useless up there. Forget about him. If it weren't for you being of some use, I would have reached the fourth floor by now!"

Seeing that Black Wind Ancestor had made a decision, the man in black robes immediately nodded respectfully and followed him.

Outside another valley filled with red smoke on the third floor, Huo Feng and Long Feng were standing above the valley, observing the situation inside the valley through the red mist in front of them.

"Your Highness, this fog is quite strange. I just walked in to try it out. This fog can actually corrode my body protection qi. I'm afraid it will be a bit dangerous."

Huo Feng nodded with a smile on his face and said, "This place has such a strong protection ban. It seems that no one has successfully entered it. That guy hasn't come up yet. Anyway, we have nothing to do now, so let's go in and take a look!"

"I don't know when that guy will come up. Otherwise, I will go down to find him and bring him here directly, so as not to delay your highness's important matters!"

"No need, most of the Nascent Soul cultivators who entered the tower should still be on the third floor. I just want to avoid them, so I'm not in a hurry. Let's wait here for a few days before we go up."

After Huo Feng finished speaking, he landed directly on the ground, cast a red shield, and walked directly into the red fog in front.

Because they had just come in, most of the cultivators were still concentrated on the first and second floors. It was still easy to run into other cultivators in the tower. After Song Qingming and his companions had been on the second floor for a few days, they ran into several groups of cultivators who were looking for treasures in the tower.

Those who could reach the second floor so quickly were basically Jindan cultivators with some strength. After running into each other, as long as they found someone they were not particularly familiar with, they would observe each other from a distance and then quickly leave.

Except for the group of demon cultivators they met on the first day, after encountering a wave of crises, Song Qingming and his companions did not encounter any major dangers in the following days, but their luck was also not so good. They went to several places where there might be spiritual objects, but they were either beaten to it by others or there were only some spiritual objects below level 2, and they did not find anything good.

On this day, according to the map in Zhao Menglian's hand, several people came to a hill full of low trees again, wanting to find a place recorded on the map where spiritual objects might be found.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, is the place you are talking about that location?"

After hearing Zhang Tieyang's shout, everyone looked in the direction he pointed and immediately found more than a dozen tall stone pillars not far from the foot of the mountain!

After seeing the stone pillars, Zhao Menglian's face lit up, and she nodded slightly and said, "Yes! It should be there."

Everyone smiled immediately after hearing this, and turned into a series of escape lights and ran straight down the mountain.

Just approaching the stone pillars, Song Qingming saw a figure lying under a stone pillar. When everyone approached, they found that it was a monk wrapped in a blue robe, who had been dead for many years and turned into bones.

After seeing the body, Zhao Menglian sighed slightly and said, "There is still a strong spiritual light attached to the bones. It seems that this person was also a Jindan monk with a high level of cultivation. I don't know why he died here?"

"Alas! It's a pity that the storage bag on this person has been taken away by someone first, leaving us nothing." Jin Ziyuan stepped forward to check the body, shook his head and turned back.

Seeing the disappointment on Jin Ziyuan's face, Qingluo Zhenren couldn't help but laugh and said, "Haha! Fellow Daoist Jin is too optimistic. This person must have fallen here thousands of years ago. During this period, the Tongtian Tower has been opened at least two or three times. How could we be the only ones who have come here?"

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, even Jindan cultivators can fall here. I'm afraid it's not that easy to get in. Does the map in your hand explain what kind of forbidden protection there is?"

Compared to the skeleton, Yun Xinhe was more concerned about what kind of danger was hidden behind the stone pillar.

Hearing the other party's question, Zhao Menglian shook her head and said, "The sect's notes don't record much about this place. It just marked this place. No one has really broken in yet."

"In that case, there should be a lot of good things here. If it's like the previous places, it's easy to break in. Most of them are often visited by people. If you want to find good things here, you have to go to places that ordinary people can't enter."

"Fellow Daoist Jin is right. This person died here. In fact, it's not necessarily killed by the restrictions inside. There is also a great possibility that he died here after being attacked by others after coming out. We don't need to be too nervous!"

Just when a few people were discussing how to get in, Song Qingming, who was idle, looked at the skeleton under the stone pillar and felt a little bit sorry, so he summoned Jinfeng to command him to dig a pit directly in the open space next to him, trying to bury the other party.

Just as Jin Feng picked up the skeleton, Song Qingming suddenly felt a white ball the size of a walnut fall from the skeleton's empty mouth.

After Jin Feng carefully caught the ball, he took a quick look at it, and quickly put it away. Then he put the skeleton into the newly dug pit with a normal look.

"Haha! Fellow Daoist Song is really a kind-hearted person. We are ashamed!" After seeing Jin Feng bury the skeleton and walk back, the True Man Qing Luo on the side praised him with a smile.

Hearing this, Song Qingming immediately waved his hand modestly and said, "Fellow Daoist Qingluo, you are joking. I just saw this man die here and no one collected his body. I just couldn't bear it, so I just did it!"

Zhao Menglian also nodded and said, "People like us who practice cultivation will inevitably die one day. I just hope that we can meet a kind person in the future and bury our bodies in the earth, so that we won't be exposed in the wilderness for thousands of years like this Taoist fellow!"

"Fellow Daoists, we didn't come here to sigh about these things. Let's go in first, otherwise someone will come to find us later."

Hearing Jin Ziyuan's urging, Song Qingming and the others laughed and roared, put away the golden wind and followed everyone to the position between the two stone pillars.

Just after passing through the two outer stone pillars and entering the group of tall stone pillars, this originally calm and silent place suddenly began to blow a gust of wind, and then a group of black clouds quickly gathered in the sky, covering the entire area.

After sensing the changes in the surroundings, everyone hurriedly released a magic shield. Zhao Menglian and Yun Zhonghe, who were walking in front, waved their hands and summoned a defensive magic weapon to surround themselves.

Just as they were ready, a very terrifying thunder suddenly sounded from the two stone pillars and rushed straight into the high-altitude black clouds. Not long after, more than a dozen lightning bolts that looked powerful fell from the sky and attacked everyone directly from the sky.

Seeing this, everyone immediately activated the magic shield on their bodies with all their strength, and each of them took on several lightning bolts.

"Hehe! This lightning looks scary, but it doesn't seem to be that powerful!"

Before Jin Ziyuan could be happy for a moment, several thunders sounded from the surrounding stone pillars and flew into the black clouds above everyone's heads. After a moment, hundreds of lightnings fell from the sky again.
