Chapter 132 The Bloodbath at the White Tower Ends, 8 Previews
Above the ruins of the White Pagoda.
The dark blue beam of light went completely dark.
The will behind the door that had almost suffocated the entire north side of Longyuan City seemed to have been severed at its root.
The remaining eerie blue light drifted down from mid-air, landing on the broken white tower's outer wall, only to be quickly extinguished by a wisp of dark golden energy.
Night fell once more over Longyuan City.
But no one dared to speak around the White Pagoda.
Because they all knew that what happened tonight could not be ignored.
Qin Yue, the former director of the resource center, has died.
The outer layer of the White Pagoda was destroyed.
The sealed well at the bottom of the White Pagoda collapsed.
The Qin family patriarch, Qin Xuanxiao, is dead.
A mid-stage Marquis Realm expert collapsed in the ruins of the White Pagoda.
The figure in black robes and a blood-red face still stood before the crack.
There was no explanation.
There was no rebuttal.
They didn't run away.
He just stood there.
But this very stance made everyone around the White Pagoda afraid to take a single step forward.
The generals of the Zhenxing Army remained silent.
The people in the Enforcement Hall remained silent.
The remaining elders and deacons of the Resource Institute were even more pale-faced.
As they looked at the blood-red shadow, at Qin Yue's corpse, and at Qin Xuanxiao's corpse, they suddenly realized something.
The rules of Dragon Abyss City were shattered tonight.
It is not overturned by some grand theory.
Instead, it was shattered by punch after punch.
The White Pagoda was retested.
Blood-faced warriors stormed into the White Tower.
Qin Yue explained the procedure.
Bloodface killed Qin Yue.
Qin Xuanxiao spoke of order.
Bloodface beheaded Qin Xuanxiao.
So Easy.
So bloody.
It is also so chilling.
……
Temporary council chamber of the elders.
The white pagoda ruins projected on the screen were eerily quiet.
The elders who had just been debating whether they should stand by and watch Qin Xuanxiao suppress the Blood-Faced Ancient Cultivator now had grim expressions.
No one mentioned "uncontrollable factors" anymore.
No one said anymore that "suppressing the Blood-Faced Ancient Cultivator is beneficial to Longyuan City".
Because Qin Xuanxiao is already dead.
They originally thought that the Qin family patriarch's intervention would be enough to suppress the bloody calamity at the White Tower.
As a result, Qin Xuanxiao died right before their eyes.
An elder's voice was hoarse:
"Now... what should we do?"
No one answered.
deal with?
What should I do?
Who should be sent to handle this?
Should we invite another mid-stage Marquis?
Or should we send all the powerful members of the Elder Council to surround and kill Bloodface?
The problem is that Bloodface just killed Qin Xuanxiao, who was burning with true intent.
More importantly, Zhenxing Hou has already vaguely pointed out that the blood-red face above the White Pagoda is likely not the real body.
If that's the case, then they're not facing a madman.
Instead, it is a monster that can enable the clone to reach the mid-stage of the Marquis title.
Marquis Zhenxing stood on one side of the council hall, his cold gaze sweeping over the crowd.
"Starting now."
"The sealed remnants at the bottom of the White Pagoda have been taken over by the Zhenxing Army."
"The Resource Institute, the Research Institute, and the Qin family are all forbidden from approaching."
An elder's expression changed slightly.
"My lord, the White Tower is, after all, part of the Star Gate Research Institute system..."
Marquis Zhenxing interrupted directly:
"Before tonight, did any of you voluntarily disclose what was sealed at the bottom of the White Tower?"
The council chamber fell silent instantly.
Marquis Zhenxing's voice grew even colder.
"The Clean Door Project".
"Old ring array".
"Fragment of a king-level gate bone."
"The White Tower uses dreams to guide a child in an attempt to restart a forbidden program from twenty years ago."
"Now you're telling me the White Pagoda should continue to be controlled by the original system?"
The elder turned pale and dared not say another word.
Marquis Zhenxing continued:
"All of Lin Xiaoya's retesting procedures have been terminated."
"Without my personal permission, no one may contact her again under the pretext of being a Cleanser, the safety of the Main Star Gate, or the observation of the White Tower."
"Who dares to reach out again?"
As he said this, he looked at Qin Yue's corpse on the projection.
"The consequences are already there."
No one in the council chamber objected.
This time, even they dared not refute it.
It wasn't because of a single sentence from Zhenxinghou.
It was because the Blood-Faced Ancient Cultivator was still standing in the ruins of the White Pagoda.
Everyone knows that if anyone touches Lin Xiaoya again, that bloody face will reappear.
The next one to die may not just be Qin Yue.
……
The Qin family headquarters.
Inside the Blackwood Hall.
The atmosphere was as oppressive as a sealed coffin.
Qin Qingcang sat in the main seat, his face ashen.
Before him lay a shattered fragment of a crimson gold soul lamp.
That was Qin Xuanxiao's soul lamp.
The Qin family's world has truly collapsed.
When Qin Zhao died, the Qin family was furious.
The Qin family was shaken when Qin Yue died.
When Qin Wujiu died, the Qin family was terrified.
But after Qin Xuanxiao's death, the Qin family was left bewildered.
Nobody knew what to do next.
revenge?
What should we report?
Of the three elders, one died and two were seriously injured.
The ancestor has passed away.
The strongest pillar of the Qin family was broken in front of the entire Dragon Abyss City by the Blood-Faced Ancient Cultivator.
Qin Qingcang looked up at the clansmen kneeling in the hall.
Everyone had their heads down.
Gone was the arrogance of the Qin family in the past, and gone was the haughtiness behind the Resource Institute.
All that remains is fear.
After a long while, Qin Qingcang finally spoke in a hoarse voice:
"From today onwards."
"No one from the Qin family is allowed to approach Lin Yuan and his sister again."
Inside the main hall, someone suddenly looked up.
"Master..."
Qin Qingcang looked over with a cold gaze.
"Do you want to die?"
The man's face turned pale, and he immediately lowered his head.
Qin Qingcang closed his eyes.
This is not about giving up hatred.
Rather, the Qin family no longer has the qualifications to take further action.
Bloodface slashes Qin Xuanxiao.
After this night, all forces in Longyuan City will reassess the Qin family.
The Qin family, once ruled by a marquis-level ancestor, no longer exists.
The Qin family now is nothing more than a giant beast with its fangs cut off.
still alive.
But it had already started bleeding.
The other families in the city would certainly not let this opportunity slip by.
……
Ning family.
Ning Wushuang stood on the high building, still gazing in the direction of the White Pagoda.
The elders of the Ning family beside her remained silent for a long time.
After a long silence, an elder finally spoke in a low voice:
"The Qin family is finished."
Ning Wushuang did not deny it.
The Qin family may not be wiped out immediately.
However, after losing Qin Xuanxiao, the Qin family's top-level deterrent completely collapsed.
The three elders were unable to maintain their original positions.
What's more, now there's one dead and two injured.
Another elder said in a deep voice:
"Lin Yuan and his sister, don't mess with them in the future."
Ning Wushuang suddenly said:
"Not later."
Several elders looked at her.
Ning Wushuang whispered:
"We shouldn't have provoked them in the first place."
Lin Yuan's calm face reappeared in her mind.
Qi and Blood Realm, Level 1.
Old school uniform.
Quiet and reserved.
But standing beside this seemingly unremarkable young man was a blood-faced ancient cultivator capable of slaying Qin Xuanxiao.
No.
Perhaps it's not just "standing next to you".
Ning Wushuang stared into the depths of the crack in the white pagoda, her gaze growing increasingly complex.
She had a vague feeling that the truth was more terrifying than she had imagined.
……
Chu family.
A middle-aged man in military uniform looked at the White Tower battle record with a furrowed brow.
"The Blood-Faced Ancient Cultivator..."
"Can't find its origin?"
The subordinate whispered:
"Cannot be found."
"There is no record of this person in the Seventh Security Zone."
"In the wilderness battlefield, Bloodface first made a high-profile appearance when he killed the Earth-Splitting Rock Dragon, who was at the early stage of the Commander Realm."
The middle-aged man's eyes were heavy as he watched the three stages of the blood shadow manifest on the screen.
"Continue the investigation."
"Check Zhenxing's old files."
"Examine ancient calligraphic works to repair incomplete scrolls."
"Check all records related to Blood Face, Red Lotus, and Dark Gold Qi and Blood."
The subordinate hesitated:
"What about Lin Yuan and his sister...?"
The middle-aged man remained silent for a moment.
"Don't touch it."
"Only check the outer perimeter."
"Remember, it's an investigation, not a test."
"The fate of the Qin family is clear enough."
……
White House.
The senior executives of the Bai Family Chamber of Commerce also stayed up all night.
Bai Yingxue sat to the side, quietly listening to the elders in her family discussing the matter.
Some say that Blood-Faced Ancient Cultivator is too crazy.
Some say the Qin family brought this upon themselves.
Some say that Lin Yuan and his sister will become an unavoidable force for all factions in Longyuan City in the future.
The Bai family patriarch ultimately uttered only one sentence:
"Send a set of restoration resources to the Starry Courtyard."
Everyone was taken aback.
Bai Yingxue also raised her head.
The Bai family patriarch said calmly:
"Unsigned".
"And don't get close."
"It will only be sent to the university's external affairs office."
"Remember, we're not trying to please."
"It's just an expression of goodwill."
Bai Yingxue was silent for a moment, then suddenly said:
"Father, isn't this being too cautious?"
The head of the Bai family glanced at her.
"The Qin family is not careful."
"So Qin Xuanxiao died."
Bai Yingxue immediately fell silent.
……
The Black Tower of the Celestial Patrol Bureau.
Gu Changye sat on the top floor, a black notebook spread out on the table in front of him.
He wrote very slowly.
Every word seemed to be setting the date for tonight's bloody catastrophe.
The bloodbath at the White Pagoda has ended.
Qin Yue died.
The outer layer of the White Pagoda was destroyed.
Qin Xuanxiao died.
The Qin family's foundation has been severed.
Lin Xiaoya obtained the Lock Seal of the Cleansing Gate Master.
The sect leader's first wisp of will appeared to have been swallowed up.
He paused for a long time after writing this.
He then continued writing:
Blood-faced Slash, mid-stage of the Marquis title.
But the Blood Face is most likely just a clone.
The true core: Lin Yuan.
Hazard level: Not assessable.
He closed his notebook, leaned back in his chair, and chuckled softly.
There was excitement in the laughter, but also an overwhelming sense of awe.
"Unassessable".
"These four words actually appeared on a freshman one day."
He looked up and gazed in the direction of the Starry Courtyard.
"Lin Yuan".
"How much longer can you keep hiding?"
……
Starry Courtyard.
The night was very quiet.
It was as quiet as if the bloody massacre at the White Pagoda had never happened.
Lin Xiaoya was sleeping soundly.
The red lotus fire pattern on her forehead had disappeared.
The white lock pattern next to it was also quietly hidden deep within the skin.
One protector and one lock.
They coexist.
Lin Yuan stood by the window.
The old school uniforms have been replaced.
His expression remained calm.
It was as if the person who had just swallowed the sect leader's first wisp of will and watched the blood shadow kill Qin Xuanxiao was not him.
Inside the body, the Extreme Dao Star Furnace slowly rotated.
After the initial formation of the Ultimate Star Body, his physical body was completely different.
The star-shaped markings within the skeleton are connected.
Dark gold starlight floated in the blood.
Each breath felt like inhaling and exhaling a heavy galaxy.
The system panel appeared silently.
[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 730000]
[Next qualitative leap: 800000]
[Reward Preview: Ultimate Star Soul]
[Ultimate Star Soul: A Complete Qualitative Change in Divine Soul, Willpower, and Dream Resistance]
[The Ultimate Star Soul can further enhance the independent bearing capacity of the Ultimate Blood Shadow]
[The Ultimate Star Soul can initially pinpoint the source of the will behind the door.]
Lin Yuan's eyes flickered slightly.
Extreme Star Soul.
This reward comes at just the right time.
Seven hundred thousand times of mastering the ultimate star body gave him the foundation to absorb and refine the energy of higher-level sects.
The eight hundred thousand Extreme Star Souls clearly correspond to the Sect Master's will, dream erosion, and prying from behind the gate.
In other words.
Wait until he reaches 800,000 times.
The next time the sect leader casts his will upon him, he might not just passively absorb it.
Instead, it can reverse the flow and pinpoint the source behind the door.
Lin Yuan looked up at the Dragon Abyss Main Star Gate in the sky.
The dark blue crack did not completely disappear.
It's just a bit darker than before.
The annihilation of the sect leader's first wisp of will does not mean the crisis is over.
Quite the opposite.
That only made the sect leader truly remember Long Yuan.
I remembered Lin Xiaoya.
I also remembered him.
Lin Yuan said in a low voice:
"Eight hundred thousand."
"We're still short 70,000."
He was not anxious.
There was no worry.
He simply calmly decided where his next meal would be.
The Qin family is no longer enough.
The white pagoda was almost completely eaten.
The remaining one should be the main star gate.
And the sect leader himself.
……
Deep within ten thousand gates.
Countless black doors floated silently in the void.
Behind each door, whispers, cries, screams, and the sound of bones cracking echoed and lingered.
But at that moment, all the sounds behind the doors fell silent.
Because deep within the myriad gates, that enormous, dark blue eye slowly opened.
It's not a projection.
It is not a wisp of will.
Rather, it was the gaze that truly belonged to the sect leader himself.
The first vestige of will was extinguished.
This incident was not a major blow to the sect leader.
But it was a provocation.
Very few living beings in reality can devour even a wisp of its will.
Even fewer people would dare to ask it to "bring enough next time the original body comes" after swallowing it.
Beneath the myriad gates, countless disciples prostrated themselves on the ground.
No one dared to raise their head.
The sect leader's voice slowly rang out:
"The Gate Swallower".
"Those who are pure in their ways."
"They're all in Longyuan."
In the void, a pale blue anchor point slowly lit up.
That was the first anchor of the Dragon Abyss Main Star Gate.
Although Lin Xiaoya locked a portion of the dream passage, the main star gate tide still exists.
The remnants of the old gate to the White Pagoda still exist.
The aura of the Seventh Gate's remains still lingers.
The road is not blocked.
It's just gotten harder.
The sect leader was not angry.
At least not on the surface.
It simply gazed quietly at the dark blue anchor point.
After a long while, the deep voice rang out again:
"Next time."
"Open the main door."
"I'll come myself."
Deep within ten thousand gates.
All the disciples bowed their heads at the same time.
"Welcome, Sect Leader."
The giant, deep blue eye slowly closed.
But the anchor point leading to Dragon Abyss was brighter than before.
Like a dark blue star hanging on the lifeline of Longyuan City.
