Ye Xiu and Jiang Baixuan were startled and hurriedly asked, "What happened?"
Tang Luor looked at Zhao Wentong with interest and said, "You're quite clever, so why don't you explain it?"
Zhao Wentong proudly spoke up, "Since that Thunder Wave can break the formation, doesn't that mean all the formations below are instantly dispelled?"
Hearing this from Zhao Wentong, Ye Xiu suddenly realized, "If the formation is destroyed, then the things sealed by the formation will..."
At that moment, everyone had already stepped out of the Ghost Arts Sect's barrier.
Looking at the dim sky over Ming Zhong University, shadows occasionally flitted by, with many ethereal and elusive figures passing through. At this moment, Ming Zhong University resembled a graveyard, and those ghostly figures were its inhabitants.
With the seal broken, demons that had been trapped for decades, centuries, or even thousands of years surged forth, crazily dancing in the air for that fleeting moment of liberation and future freedom.
The scene felt like a chaotic dance of demons.
Suddenly, Zhao Wentong shouted, "It's over!"
Everyone turned to look at Zhao Wentong. "Is there anything worse than this situation? What's there to be so alarmed about?"
Zhao Wentong weakly uttered two words: "Ghost Tower!"
Since they had left the Abandoned Laboratory, they had referred to that building as the Ghost Tower.
"Ghost Tower?"
At this point, those who hadn't explored the Ghost Tower looked puzzled.
Ye Xiu stepped forward to summarize their experience in the Ghost Tower.
After listening, Jiang Baixuan let out a sigh of relief.
The Ghost Tower was located within Ming Zhong University, and there was a sect within Ming Zhong University!
Although the Ghost Arts Sect wasn't a top-tier sect, it wasn't completely useless either. How could they not know about the demons on their own territory?
"Rest assured, everyone. The Ghost Tower has no seals in place, so the commotion caused by Qian Fatty won't affect the Ghost Tower," Jiang Baixuan explained.
Ye Xiu and Zhao Wentong were puzzled. Why weren’t the Demons coming out if there was no seal?
Suddenly, Ye Xiu recalled that Chang Hao and Lin Baihui had mentioned that their resentment had not been resolved, which prevented them from leaving their realm. Could it be that all the Demons in the Ghost Tower were filled with resentment?
Ye Xiu voiced his confusion.
Jiang Baixuan replied, "Not necessarily. If that were the case, then the Demons in the world wouldn’t be such a hassle. There’s no connection between resentment and the boundaries of realms. Even so, why don’t those completely mindless Demons on the second floor come out to harm people?"
"You know about those mindless Demons on the second floor?" Zhao Wentong exclaimed in surprise, then calmed down, realizing that the Ghost Tower was indeed near their Ghost Arts Sect.
Now it was Jiang Baixuan's turn to be surprised. "What? You two went up to the second floor later? You actually know?"
Ye Xiu explained, "No, we heard it from Chang Hao and the others. By the way, since there’s a Ghost Tower near your Ghost Arts Sect, why haven’t you dealt with it?"
Jiang Baixuan sighed, "We want to! But at that time, the elders led a large group of Elite Disciples to clear it out, only to be attacked by the crazed Demons at the entrance of the second floor. Although our Ghost Arts Sect didn’t suffer any casualties, just looking at that dark mass of Demons made it clear that charging in would mean death or injury. According to what you heard from Chang Hao, the Demons in the Ghost Tower get stronger with each floor; we couldn’t even reach the second floor, let alone clear out this Ghost Tower."
Zhao Wentong chuckled, "So you guys from the Ghost Arts Sect just gave up?"
"What else could we do? Go there to die? Besides, those Demons from the Ghost Tower haven’t come out to harm anyone. So we decided to keep our distance from them," Jiang Baixuan shot a glance at Zhao Wentong.
Ye Xiu pondered Jiang Baixuan’s words about how each floor was stronger than the last and suddenly recalled that terrifying presence at the very top of the Ghost Tower.
Could it be that this presence was what kept all the Demons inside the Ghost Tower from stepping out?
Ye Xiu shared his thoughts with Jiang Baixuan, who was also taken aback upon learning about such a presence at the top of the Ghost Tower.
"It must be like that; otherwise, there would be no reason for the Demons on the second floor not to come out and wreak havoc on humanity!" Zhao Wentong concluded.
Just as Zhao Wentong finished speaking, a wailing sound echoed through the air.
Suddenly, a shadow swooped down from above, extending its pitch-black claws straight for Zhao Wentong's head.
However, Ye Xiu reacted first. Instinctively activating Azure Cloud Formula, he pushed Zhao Wentong aside.
The Demon missed its target and glared at Ye Xiu with its red eyes. Yet it seemed to sense Ye Xiu's spiritual power and quickly abandoned him in favor of attacking Tang Luor, who appeared defenseless.
At this moment, Ye Xiu clearly sensed the strength of the Demon.
The Demon was at the Fierce Ghost level.
Tang Luor, on the other hand, had already reached the lower tier of the Spirit Jade Realm.
Even a single Fierce Ghost would not intimidate Tang Luor, and with Tang Luor's current cultivation, facing a malevolent spirit would not put them at a disadvantage.
Among those present, Ye Xiu had the highest cultivation level, but even he could not match Tang Luor. This was because Tang Luor possessed the true inheritance of the Tang family and had far richer combat experience than Ye Xiu.
Thus, among everyone present, Tang Luor was the strongest.
Ye Xiu covered his eyes and couldn't help but feel sympathy for the Fierce Ghost. Why did it have to pick a fight with the strongest person?
Sigh.
He watched as the Fierce Ghost lunged at Tang Luor. Tang Luor remained completely still, and just as the Fierce Ghost was about to strike, Tang Luor swiftly drew a Soft Sword from behind and slashed down. In an instant, the Fierce Ghost transformed into black mist and vanished…
"Ah…" Jiang Baixuan sighed deeply.
"What’s wrong?" Ye Xiu asked.
"If all our subordinates were as capable as Tang Luor, I wouldn't worry at all. But right now, there are hordes of ghosts, and ordinary people have no means of self-defense. It's only natural for me to be concerned…" Jiang Baixuan replied.
"This disaster was also caused by us; why don't we help clear out the Demons for various sects?" Ye Xiu suggested.
He had this idea after seeing the tragic scene on their way back to Starlit City, but at that time, they had no choice but to act quickly.
"Sounds good! This will also serve as training to gain experience," Zhao Wentong said cheerfully.
"What are you so happy about? You have no spiritual power," Ye Xiu retorted.
"…" Zhao Wentong looked quite disappointed.
Seeing Zhao Wentong's expression, Jiang Baixuan said, "You can still catch ghosts without spiritual power; let me train you."
"Really?" Zhao Wentong asked, half in doubt.
"Absolutely! Don't forget about the various talismans!" Jiang Baixuan explained.
"That's great!"
At that moment, a disciple from the Ghost Arts Sect ran out and said to Jiang Baixuan, "Senior Brother, they have awakened."
"Junior Brother, can you confirm? They really woke up?" Jiang Baixuan inquired.
With the immense energy contained within Qian Jinyu, how could they possibly wake up after such a short time of unconsciousness, especially with Xie Bei's severe injuries?
"It's true, they are all awake!"
"That's wonderful! Let's hurry back!" Jiang Baixuan said to everyone.
