Walking into the interior of the mountain, stepping on the ancient, hard stone stairs, no one knew how long they had walked, and no one knew how many levels they had climbed, but the old man who was leading the way finally stopped.
"Tower Lord, they are here." The old man bowed.
"Mmm, you may leave now." An old woman's voice came from inside.
The Tower Lord of the Spirit Treasure Tower was actually a woman, and from her voice, she wasn't young.
Inside the spacious stone chamber, the walls were covered in a dense brilliance. The ceiling was around thirty meters high with an irregular True Mysterious Spirit Stone with a diameter of one meter floating in the middle.
Such a large True Mysterious Spirit Stone was unheard of and never seen before.
The Spirit Stone emitted a faint white light, covering the entire stone chamber with a layer of silver gauze, reflecting the faint light.
Feng Feiyun took one step forward and the ground suddenly rippled with light. Using the Heavenly Phoenix Gaze, he could even see countless formation runes within these ripples.
If someone dared to force their way into this place, even a Heaven's Mandate cultivator would be suppressed to death by this boundless formation.
Feng Feiyun became even more cautious and hid the Evil Woman's Corpse Palace even more deeply inside his dantian.
"You are the son of the demon?"
The Tower Lord of the Spirit Treasure Tower was sitting right below the floating spirit stone with her back facing Feng Feiyun and Murong Ta.
She wore a luxurious golden silk dress that draped over the ground. She sat cross-legged on top of a jade platform as if she was studying an ancient book.
Although her voice was old, her long hair was still jet-black. It was combed neatly with an ebony cloud hairpin in it. If one only looked at her back, she was beautiful and moving, just like a twenty-year-old daughter of a celestial sect.
Even from a hundred meters away, Feng Feiyun could feel an extremely powerful divine intent sweeping through his body. This Tower Lord had the cultivation of a Giant King.
Just from the strength of her divine intent, Feng Feiyun was able to determine her cultivation.
An expert of this level wasn't someone he could contend against. Even if he wanted to escape, he wouldn't have the slightest chance.
On the other hand, Murong Ta, who was standing beside Feng Feiyun, did not react at all. He only curiously sized up the Pagoda Master sitting in the middle and whispered to Feng Feiyun, "Son of the Demon, is she talking about you?"
"Mhm!" Feng Feiyun slightly nodded in response to both Murong Ta and the Tower Lord.
The Tower Lord's hand that was flipping through the book slightly paused, then she asked again: "What is your purpose in coming to the pagoda?
Did the Evil Woman send you? "
Although the Spirit Treasure Tower Lord's words were still calm, the air suddenly became viscous. First, it became liquid, then solid. It was as if space itself was frozen, causing Feng Feiyun to feel as if he couldn't even breathe.
His body became heavier and heavier as if there was a mountain pressing down on his head.
The bones in Feng Feiyun's body were tightly bound. He knew that this was the opponent exerting pressure on him. If he said half a wrong word, then he would be crushed by this force.
"Reporting … Tower Lord, although I am the son of the Demon, this title was forced on me by others. Plus … I have nothing to do with the Evil Woman, and I almost died to her hands several times.
Because of this, I had to run for my life and hide at the pagoda. "Feng Feiyun spoke with difficulty without a single lie.
A character of the Tower Lord's level had a spiritual sense that was a thousand times stronger than an ordinary person. As long as someone dared to lie in front of her, she would be able to sense it.
This was the terrifying aspect of a Treasure Seeking Master. If one's spiritual sense was not as strong as hers, then it would be impossible to deceive her.
Although Feng Feiyun's soul was powerful, because of his cultivation, his spiritual sense was far inferior to the Tower Lord's.
"Nonsense. If you are not the Evil Woman's messenger, then why are you helping her revive?" The Tower Lord exerted more pressure. Just one sentence contained endless power.
The power contained within these words was enough to force a peak God Base cultivator to the ground.
Although the Tower Lord couldn't feel that Feng Feiyun was lying, she had a lot of information. It was enough to confirm that Feng Feiyun was the Evil Woman's dog, and the two of them had a special relationship.
Feng Feiyun's body trembled. He was already wounded, so after being attacked by this force, his already healed wounds worsened once again.
Even so, Feng Feiyun still gritted his teeth and stood straight. He essentially wouldn't yield under this pressure. This was too unreasonable.
Murong Ta noticed that Feng Feiyun's expression was strange and his body was trembling. He knew that Feng Feiyun didn't even have the strength to speak at this moment, so it was definitely the Tower Lord who secretly attacked him.
"Tower Lord, please be merciful and spare his life. I believe that he is absolutely not lying." Murong Ta quickly kneeled on the ground and begged the Tower Lord.
"Hmph!
Scram! "The Tower Lord waved her sleeve and directly blew Murong Ta away, causing him to slam into a stone wall.
Murong Ta had already used up too much blood energy, so his body had not fully recovered. After this blow from the Tower Lord, his spine was almost broken. His internal organs were in chaos as he spat out a mouthful of blood with a sweet taste in his throat.
His thin body was kneeling on one knee on the ground while using both hands to support his body. His entire body was trembling.
"The Evil Woman's methods are ruthless. Countless innocent people in the Grand Southern Prefecture have died in her hands. All of this was caused by Feng Feiyun. Who in this world doesn't know that you personally revived the Evil Woman, and you still dare to say that it has nothing to do with you?"
Even though the Tower Lord had lived for more than four hundred years, her nature was still the same as before. She continued: "Murong Ta, you are a natural born spiritualist, so I want to take you as my disciple. However, if you continue to speak for Feng Feiyun, then you will only be asking for trouble."
Feng Feiyun was under a great pressure and couldn't move. He only felt that this old woman in front of him was truly too much of a bastard. If he were to die in her hands today, then it would truly be too unjust.
"Murong Ta thanks Tower Lord for your kindness, but if you want me to not speak for Feng Feiyun, then I can't do it.
Even though I only resembled him for a few days, I believe that he is definitely a person who dares to take responsibility for his actions. He wouldn't lie to Tower Lord. "Murong Ta said while gasping for breath.
When he said the words "dares to take responsibility for his actions", his voice was a bit high, causing Feng Feiyun to have a strange feeling. He felt that there was something wrong with his tone.
Murong Ta dragged his injured body step by step towards Feng Feiyun's side, leaving behind a row of bloody footprints on the ground.
"Boom!"
He stubbornly knelt on the ground and stared at the Pagoda Master with an incomparably resolute gaze. He kowtowed respectfully once, knocking his forehead on the ground with a "dong" sound. Then, he kowtowed a second time, and another "dong" sound was heard …
His forehead was bleeding from all the kowtowing, but he was still kowtowing while saying: "I beg Tower Lord to give him a chance to explain!"
"Boom!"
"I beg Tower Lord to give him a chance to explain!"
"Boom!"
"I beg Tower Lord to give him a chance to explain!"
…
The Tower Lord became silent. Her finger gently pressed on the ancient book, but she couldn't turn the page no matter how hard she tried.
Even though she abhorred evil and had an unyielding character, she was still a person and a woman at that.
As long as she was a woman, she would inevitably have a weakness of being sentimental.
"Beauties are hard to come by in this world, but true friends are even harder to come by."
The Tower Lord gently sighed. This time, her voice was even older. It was as if she was thinking about her younger self. Wasn't she just as infatuated as this in the past?
Why was she so stubborn?
Alas, she didn't obtain anything in the end. Even so, it was enough. It was much better than never being infatuated and stubborn.
Murong Ta's stubbornness moved the Tower Lord!
How could Feng Feiyun not be moved? He owed Murong Ta another favor.
If it wasn't for Murong Ta's persistent begging, Feng Feiyun would have released the Evil Woman's Corpse Palace to fight to the death against the Tower Lord. Even if he had to die, he would make her pay the price. Of course, this was the last resort. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he wouldn't use it.
Feng Feiyun felt the pressure on his body disappear as he regained his mobility. He quickly helped Murong Ta up from the ground.
At this moment, Murong Ta finally fainted with a smile on his face and fell into Feng Feiyun's embrace.
"Speak!
Why did you sneak into the pagoda? "The Tower Lord mercilessly asked.
Feng Feiyun took out an iron order from his chest pocket. Zuo Qianshou gave it to him and said that he would definitely be able to enter the pagoda with this iron order.
At that time, Zuo Qianshou had already left for the capital, so this iron order was given to Third Boss and then given to Feng Feiyun.
Zuo Qianshou was a ninth rank Treasure Seeking Master with invincible formations. If he dared to say that as long as one had this iron order, they would be able to enter the Wanxiang Pagoda, then Zuo Qianshou must have been a great character at the pagoda. Maybe he had one or two powerful old friends at the pagoda.
A ninth rank Treasure Seeking Master was not just for show. There were less than ten of them in the entire Jin Dynasty. If Zuo Qianshou really was a member of the pagoda, then he must have a very high status at the pagoda. He might even be an old friend of this Tower Lord.
"To tell you the truth, I am here on my master's order to give something to the Tower Lord." Feng Feiyun wanted to pretend to be Zuo Qianshou's disciple.
