Chapter 169: The story of the spiral tower revealed

It was still the chaotic square. No one was dealing with the corpses on the ground. No one went up to check on Zhang Yu and Manager Wang who were lying motionless on the ground. Although the life and death of the two people is very important to everyone, no one dares to approach them without permission at this time for fear of causing misunderstanding.

At this time, three behemoths and four figures appeared in the square. The three behemoths were naturally the three huge bird-shaped monsters. Three of the four figures were wearing dark green robes. Although the cultivation of these three people was only in the late stage of tendon tempering, everyone looked at these three people with a hint of fear.

The dark green clothes also represented the identity and status of these three people. Only those in the Empire's Benxiao Pavilion were qualified to wear this suit of clothes. Seeing that these young people were only in their early twenties, it was really only that place that could cultivate such talents. Everyone thought the same thing.

In addition to these three people, there is also an old man wearing a green shirt. This old man is the tower guard named Hong. Everyone couldn't help but feel a little surprised when they saw this old man coming here. After all, it was difficult for them to connect the Elder's House, Zuo Feng, and the Spiral Tower. And if there wasn't something important, this old man surnamed Hong would be... Never dare to leave the spiral tower for even half a step.

Although everyone did not dare to speak too much, they all turned their gazes towards the red door without a doubt. Because Xing Yezui had just brought the ten elders inside. Although everyone had guessed what Xing Yezui said, they couldn't guess why the ten elders paid so much attention to the young man named Zuo Feng.

Time passed slowly while everyone was waiting anxiously. About half an hour later, they saw the two people walking out of the gate.

A group of people immediately stared at the two people with wide eyes, trying to get some clues from the subtle changes in their expressions. But after observing for a long time, to everyone's disappointment, the expressions of the two people were extremely calm, and there was no clue at all.

The tenth elder walked to the center of the square with a calm face, and said coldly: "Lian Yun, this is an internal matter of the Ye Lin Empire. You have no right, let alone the qualification to participate. Since your apprentice participated in the trial, his death is considered He deserves it no more than anyone else. If you continue to use this excuse, the Council of Elders will send you an invitation letter next time."

Lian Yun looked at the Tenth Elder with an ugly expression. The invitation from the Elders House was not a kind invitation. After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said to the person behind him: "What are you waiting for? Come with me. "

Seeing Lian Yun leave angrily, the ten elders didn't bother to pay attention anymore. At this time, the remaining people were also important figures within Dongjun, and the ten elders' expressions immediately turned cold. He slowly said: "Meng Zhen, I don't think you aspire to be the city lord. Since you are willing to follow Linlang, I will now accept your appointment as the commander of Dongjun City."

As soon as these words came out, the entire face of the short dwarf fell down. He originally wanted to say something, but the tenth elder didn't give him a chance to defend himself, and shouted the word "Get out" loudly.

Seeing that the tenth elder was really angry, Meng Zhen was unwilling to do so, but he also knew that this was not a good time to make a distinction, so he had no choice but to lead his men and leave in despair.

The tenth elder looked at the remaining people around him again. His eyes first paused on Lu Yun for a moment, and then glanced at An Xiong. Finally, his eyes stopped at Linlang, and then he fell into deep thought.

The most painful thing at this time was Linlang. Although the tenth elder had just said that he would be deprived of his position as county guard, he also understood that this was just the other party's angry words. An important position like the governor of a county cannot be taken away easily based on one person's words. It must be approved by more than half of the Council of Elders before it can be finalized.

But at this time, the tenth elder obviously knew something, and he was really dissatisfied with himself. Just when Linlang was feeling anxious and thinking secretly, the tenth elder's voice slowly sounded. He was not as angry as he imagined, but said extremely calmly: "Linlang, take your people and leave Yancheng temporarily, but in recent times, Don’t leave Dongjuncheng.”

The tenth elder's calm attitude only made Linlang feel even more unsure. If he was scolded like he just did, it would mean that his punishment would not be too severe. But now that he saw the tenth elder speaking so carefully, it made him feel a little afraid. Things might really develop in the direction he least wanted to see.

"Keep the medicine."

The tenth elder said this without any beginning or end, and Linlang looked embarrassed after hearing this. But when his eyes came into contact with the ten elders, he did not dare to say anything else. He quickly took out a crystal bottle from the crystal storage on his wrist and handed it to the ten elders respectfully.

"Go ahead."

The tenth elder uttered two words expressionlessly, and Linlang had no choice but to issue an order to have his men carry the injured huge Fire Cloud Eagle monster, and a group of people hurriedly left the commander's mansion.

Seeing that these people had left, the tenth elder continued to say to Anxiong: "Take your people back first. I will stay in Lu Yun's house for the time being. Come and see me in the evening. I have something to ask you. "

The tenth elder's words were still unhurried, but Anxiong felt something was wrong after listening to them. Under normal circumstances, when important figures like the Empire come to Yancheng, they usually choose to stay at the City Lord's Mansion. But now the tenth elder chose to live in Lu Yun's house, which made him feel an extremely inappropriate signal.

Anxiong nodded in despair and prepared to leave with his men.

"Wait, take this bottle of medicine away."

The voice of the Tenth Elder sounded again. An Xiong looked up at the Tenth Elder absentmindedly at first, and then suddenly remembered that his daughter was still poisoned. He rushed to the Tenth Elder with a look of surprise, excitedly grabbed the crystal bottle in his hand, and said excitedly: "Is this the antidote for the 'Soul-Transforming Liquid'?"

The Tenth Elder looked at the unconscious Anya with some regret, and said helplessly: "What Linlang said is true, he does not have the antidote for the 'Soul-Transforming Liquid'. Not only him, but also our Ye Lin Empire does not have such an antidote."

"What is in this bottle?"

Faced with this question, the Tenth Elder was surprisingly patient and said slowly: "The bottle contains the juice of the 'Soul-Missing Grass'."

"Is this poison?"

The Tenth Elder nodded and said: "That's right, it's poison. Linlang did not get the antidote when he got the 'Soul-Transforming Liquid'. , but later he found that the juice of the soul-bewitching grass could slightly dissolve some of the toxins. The juice of the soul-bewitching grass has no effect on warriors above the tendon-hardening stage. As long as it is taken before being poisoned, it will not be a big deal even if it is poisoned by the "Soul-Transforming Liquid". "

After a pause, he continued: "But if you use the juice of the soul-bewitching grass after being poisoned by the "Soul-Transforming Liquid", it can only have a temporary relief effect. With your daughter's level in the middle stage of the strong body, it will be inevitable that the poison will attack in about a year. Unless the big man of the Xuanwu Empire, I think he can only find a way to dissolve this strange poison. "

After the tenth elder said this, An Xiong finally understood something, and he also knew clearly why Linlang looked a little ugly at that time. This bottle of "soul-bewitching grass juice" was given to him. As long as he studied the medicine in this bottle a little, Linlang would never think of using this poison against him again. In this way, the tenth elder also helped him secretly once.

He bowed to the tenth elder, then respectfully took the crystal bottle, and left here with his men.

At this time, only Xing Yezui and his men were left here, and Lu Yun stayed. In addition, there were the three young warriors in green robes and the old man named Hong in green. Xing Yezui turned his head to look at the tenth elder and said, "Is it the elder who will speak, or should I?"

"Send your people out first and search this place thoroughly. Don't miss any corner."

Xing Yezui slapped his forehead and hurriedly ordered, "You have all heard what the tenth elder said. Don't miss any clues. Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground and turn this commander's mansion upside down, don't miss any clues."

There were only seven people behind Xing Yezui, but these seven people were elite talents, and just now from the tone of the tenth elder, these people seemed to be talking about something important. How could they be so ignorant and spread out quickly to the surroundings. In the entire square, except for the four people who came with the tenth elder, there were only three of them left. The tenth elder slowly nodded to Xing Yezui.

Xing Yezui received the signal, nodded and began to speak: "This Zuo Feng is really not simple. When he participated in the second trial of the spiral tower, he absorbed the things in the sixth floor."

Lu Yun shouted in shock: "What? How is this possible? That thing is not..."

Lu Yun spoke loudly subconsciously, and when he saw Xing Yezui waving his hands, he reacted and then lowered his voice and said: "The sixth floor has been closed for decades, and the trial was open to the public before that. I heard that no less than hundreds of talented young people have been to the sixth floor, but those people were almost directly drained of their bodies by that ghost thing and died, and even their bones and blood were not preserved at all. You said Zuo Feng absorbed that thing, how could this be?"

Xing Yezui said with some emotion: "This second trial of the spiral tower, because the situation is quite special, all the mechanisms on the top floor are closed. I didn't expect that this boy named Zuo Feng could actually find the secret door, and from the traces, he should have gone to the sixth floor of the spiral tower."
