Chapter 114 Blood Shadow Enters the White Tower, Qin Yue Dies
Outside the White Pagoda.
Eighteen layers of silver-white light curtains unfold one by one.
On each layer of light screen, countless star gate array patterns appeared.
That's the outer protective array of the White Pagoda.
Even ordinary grandmasters cannot break through the first level by force.
Even a powerful cultivator at the Town General Realm who forces his way in will be countered by the formation.
But at this moment.
A black-robed, blood-red figure stood before the tower.
The blood-red mask was slightly raised.
On the forehead of the mask, the red lotus fire pattern slowly lit up.
Inside the White Pagoda, the piercing alarm blared wildly.
"warn!"
"High-risk blood and qi reaction detected at Baita!"
"Outer protective array activated!"
"All researchers are to evacuate to the safe zone immediately!"
Chaos reigned inside the tower.
The researchers in white coats, their faces pale, retreated, clutching their recording tablets and energy instruments.
They were used to standing behind the White Tower rules.
I'm used to using words like "safety," "retesting," "observation," and "adaptation" to define others.
But now, when that black-robed, blood-faced figure truly stood before the White Tower, they realized for the first time.
Some people don't understand procedures.
Qin Yue stood in the center of the outer hall, his face grim.
He stared intently at the blood-red figure on the light screen.
"He really dared to come."
A researcher's voice trembled:
"Elder Qin, the old ring array has just suffered a backlash, and the outer array may not be able to hold out for long."
Qin Yue suddenly turned his head.
"Even if you can't hold on, you have to!"
"This is the White Pagoda!"
"This is the core area of the Stargate Research Institute!"
"If he dares to force his way in, he will be openly challenging the order of Longyuan City!"
The voice just fell.
Outside the White Pagoda.
The blood shadow moved.
He did not build up his momentum.
It's just taking one step forward.
Then, he raised his fist.
boom--!
The first punch landed on the silvery-white light screen.
The entire outer layer of the white pagoda suddenly trembled.
The first layer of protective light curtain shattered like thin ice.
Followed by.
The second layer.
The third layer.
Fourth floor.
The silvery-white light curtain crumbled layer by layer.
It was crushed from the center inward by an extremely heavy force of qi and blood.
Like eighteen panes of glass, struck by the same dark gold star.
Boom boom boom boom boom—!
The eighteen-layered protective array couldn't even hold for ten breaths.
The moment the final layer of light curtain shattered, a crack appeared in the dome of the entire outer hall of the white tower.
Grayish-white pebbles fell in a soft rustling sound.
All the researchers in the hall turned pale.
Qin Yue's pupils suddenly contracted.
"How is that possible..."
This is the outer layer of defense for the White Pagoda.
Even if a powerful figure of the rank of Marquis were to come, it shouldn't be so easy.
But that black-robed, blood-red figure had already stepped into the White Tower.
step.
Two steps.
Three steps.
With each step he took, the floor of the hall sank an inch.
The researchers in white coats kept backing away.
Some people's legs gave way and they collapsed to the ground.
Someone tried to activate the backup formation, but the moment their finger touched the formation platform, the entire platform was crushed by an invisible pressure.
Blood Shadow's gaze did not fall on the ordinary researchers.
Instead, he looked at Qin Yue.
Qin Yue's face was grim as he forced himself to remain calm.
He was, after all, an elder of the resource institute.
Even though he was terrified inside, he didn't back down.
"The Blood-Faced Ancient Cultivator!"
"Do you know where this place is?"
"This is the White Pagoda!"
"Lin Xiaoya's actions involve the safety of the Main Star Gate, the retesting of those in the Cleansing Gate, and the safety of the entire Dragon Abyss City!"
"If you dare to make a move here, you will be making an enemy of Dragon Abyss City!"
Blood Shadow stopped in his tracks.
The eyes behind the blood-red mask were cold and unwavering.
Seeing him stop, Qin Yue felt as if he had grasped at the last lifeline, and his voice became even louder:
"You can protect Lin Yuan and his sister."
"But Longyuan City is not in the Seventh Safe Zone!"
"Here you'll find the Council of Elders, the Zhenxing Army, the Resource Institute, and the White Tower!"
"This is not a place where an ancient body cultivator like you can run wild!"
"Since Lin Xiaoya has received feedback from those who practice purification, she must undergo a retest!"
"This is for—"
Blood Shadow suddenly spoke.
His voice was low and hoarse.
She said she wouldn't go.
Qin Yue paused.
Blood Shadow looked at him.
"Didn't you hear me?"
The hall was deathly silent.
Qin Yue's face was grim.
"She's just a child; she doesn't understand the risks she's taking!"
"We are protecting her!"
Blood Shadow took a step forward.
boom.
The floor of the hall suddenly sank.
Qin Yue's expression changed drastically, and he subconsciously activated his true energy to form armor.
Silvery-white true energy condensed into a layer of armor on his body.
The aura of a late-stage Town General suddenly erupted.
But in front of Blood Shadow, this little bit of aura is laughably weak.
next moment.
Blood Shadow had already appeared in front of Qin Yue.
Qin Yue was so close that he didn't have time to retreat.
The dark gold palm was raised.
Hold his head down.
Qin Yue's pupils suddenly contracted.
"You dare—"
Click.
The sound was very soft.
Qin Yue's true qi armor, along with his protective jade talisman, the elder's mark from the resource institute, and the temporary protective privileges of the White Tower, all shattered at this moment.
His voice abruptly stopped.
He froze on the spot.
Blood Shadow's five fingers slowly tightened.
His voice remained calm:
"I said that."
"Reach out again."
"I will come to find you myself."
next moment.
The dark gold energy was pressed inward.
Qin Yue's body jolted violently.
All life was forcibly crushed at this moment.
Elder of the Resource Center.
Qin Yue.
dead.
Inside the hall, all the researchers in white coats seemed to have had their souls ripped out.
No one dared to move.
They watched helplessly as Qin Yue fell.
Watching the usually aloof and superior elder of the resource institute being wiped out like a crushed pebble.
Blood Shadow loosened his grip.
Qin Yue fell to the ground
Then, Blood Shadow looked up and gazed into the depths of the hall.
There.
The core chamber where the old ring array is located is still shimmering with a ghostly blue light.
Several researchers involved in guiding Lin Xiaoya's dream were pale as they tried to shut down the array.
Blood Shadow strode forward.
An older researcher stepped back in alarm.
"It's none of our business!"
"It was Elder Qin who gave the order!"
"We're just following the procedure!"
The bloodshed didn't stop.
"program?"
He entered the core room.
A silvery-white observation ring floated on the platform.
The surface is covered with cracks.
But the dark blue patterns inside are still slowly flowing, like an eye that has not yet fully closed.
Blood Shadow raised his hand.
A punch landed.
boom!
The platform collapsed.
The silver-white observation ring shattered instantly.
All the circular patterns extinguished simultaneously.
On the outer wall of the White Pagoda, the old gray-white ring patterns gradually darkened.
Several researchers in white coats turned around in alarm.
But it was too late.
Behind the blood shadow, dark gold blood energy swept across.
Everyone who had just participated in activating the old ring array was frozen in place.
next interest.
All life force was extinguished.
Blood Shadow is not here to judge.
They're not here to investigate.
He's just here to erase everyone who has ever touched Lin Xiaoya's dream.
The core interior.
The instrument exploded.
The platform collapsed.
Fragments of the old ring were scattered all over the ground.
All the recording light screens in the White Pagoda retest area turned completely black.
Blood Shadow stood in the center of the shattered array, his black robes draped gently.
The crimson lotus flame pattern on the forehead of the mask shone as brightly as a drop of blood about to burn out.
……
Outside the White Pagoda.
The entire Longyuan Academy was alarmed.
Throughout the university campus, countless gazes turned to the north.
"Something's happened to the White Pagoda!"
"The protective barrier has been breached!"
"It's Senior Blood!"
"He actually made it into the White Tower!"
New student area.
Song Li stood by the window, her face pale.
"He...he breached the White Pagoda?"
Ji Qinghe was also looking into the distance.
She did not speak.
But his eyes were filled with shock.
White Pagoda.
That's the White Pagoda.
Even the scions of the four great families at Longyuan Academy dare not easily provoke the White Tower.
But the senior disciple who had been killed in the bloodshed was gone.
It even penetrated the outer protective array.
Song Li murmured:
"Is he crazy?"
Ji Qinghe whispered:
"No."
"The White Pagoda moved Lin Xiaoya."
So he went.
Song Li was stunned.
She suddenly remembered the little girl who always carried an old schoolbag and timidly followed Lin Yuan.
For that girl.
Senior Bloodface dared to directly storm the White Tower.
This kind of protectiveness is so domineering it's terrifying.
It also gives people a strange sense of peace.
Another place.
Ning Wushuang stood atop the high building, her white battle suit billowing in the night wind.
She looked toward the White Pagoda, her expression grave.
"Qin Yue this time..."
"I really touched something I shouldn't have."
Behind her, a disciple of the Ning family's Enforcement Hall spoke in a strained voice:
"Miss, the Blood-Faced Ancient Cultivator stormed into the White Tower; this is already a grave crime."
Ning Wushuang said coldly:
"A serious crime?"
"When the White Pagoda remotely guided a child's dream, why didn't anyone call it a grave sin?"
The disciple remained silent.
Ning Wushuang watched as the array of light on the outer layer of the white pagoda continued to crack.
For the first time, I felt that the so-called rules of Longyuan City might only be effective for the weak.
When someone is so powerful that they don't want to listen to the rules.
Even the rules themselves can tremble.
……
The Black Tower of the Celestial Patrol Bureau.
Gu Changye stood on the top floor, looking towards the White Pagoda in the distance.
A black notebook floated in front of him.
He did not write anything.
I just watched quietly.
A subordinate behind him spoke in a trembling voice:
"My lord, the Blood-Faced Ancient Cultivator has forcibly broken into the White Tower."
"Elder Qin Yue... has lost vital signs."
Gu Changye nodded.
"He's dead."
"Sir, should we intervene?"
Gu Changye glanced at him.
"Intervene in what?"
"Stop the bloody face?"
The subordinates dared not speak.
Gu Changye looked at the white pagoda again.
"When the White Pagoda remotely evokes dreams, it should have considered the consequences."
"Some people follow the rules."
"Some people have principles."
Qin Yue thought he was standing within the rules.
"Unfortunately, he crossed Lin Yuan's bottom line."
The subordinate whispered:
"But the outer layer of the White Pagoda has already been destroyed. Will the elders just stand by and do nothing?"
Gu Changye smiled.
"Of course not."
"So the really interesting part is just beginning."
He finally wrote a line in his notebook.
Qin Yue died.
The Blood-Faced Ancient Cultivator has officially become an uncontrollable factor in Dragon Abyss City.
A brief pause.
He added:
Hopefully, that madman will tone it down.
……
The Council of Elders.
The temporary meeting room suddenly lit up.
One after another, projections of elders appeared.
Some people were furious:
"The Blood-Faced Ancient Cultivator is far too presumptuous!"
"He actually dared to kill Qin Yue!"
"They even destroyed the outer layer of the White Pagoda!"
Another person said in a deep voice:
Why would the White Tower activate the old ring array in the middle of the night?
"Who approved it?"
A brief silence.
Then an elder said in a cold voice:
"Now is not the time to investigate the White Tower procedure."
"The Blood-Faced Ancient Cultivator has already started killing people."
"Qin Yue is, after all, the elder of the resource institute."
"If this is left unchecked, what will become of Longyuan City's prestige?"
The projection of Zhenxinghou sat to one side.
He remained silent throughout.
I was just looking in the direction of the White Pagoda.
Blood-faced Ancient Cultivator's Qi and Blood are extremely strong.
The residual fluctuations of the old ring array of the White Pagoda are also very obvious.
But deeper still, the aura of an old door, sealed for a long time, is slowly awakening.
Marquis Zhenxing frowned slightly.
"Under the White Pagoda..."
"What else is being hidden?"
……
Inside the White Pagoda.
Blood Shadow has already left the core room.
The entire retest area collapsed.
All personnel involved in the old ring array perished.
A large number of researchers in white coats huddled at a distance, not daring to approach even a step closer.
Blood Shadow did not hunt down everyone.
He only killed the person who did it.
But this did not make others feel fortunate.
Instead, they became even more terrified.
Blood Shadow walked to the center of the outer layer of the White Tower.
That's where the retesting station is located.
It was once used to test trainees with special physical conditions.
Today, a few spare observation rings remain on the retesting platform.
Blood Shadow raised his hand.
Dark gold energy and blood flowed down.
boom!
The entire retesting platform collapsed directly inward.
The observation ring was completely shattered.
A huge crack appeared on the outer surface of the White Pagoda.
The cracks spread downwards.
suddenly.
The entire white pagoda suddenly trembled.
Deep within, something has been disturbed.
Beneath the crack.
A wisp of pale blue light slowly appeared.
at the same time.
A faint girl's voice came from deep underground.
It's like a dream from a very, very distant place.
"Don't……"
"Don't open that door down there..."
Blood Shadow lowered his head.
The eyes behind the mask flickered slightly.
The outer layer of the White Pagoda collapsed.
The old seal at the bottom.
The first crack appeared.
