Mo Wenjie and Huang Ling'er, Jiang Yu rou, Xiao Ya wen, Ding Yan, Tuobaying Yingying, Qin Xiaodie, and Cao Chunling were meditating and regulating their breath when a group of people in black robes suddenly surrounded them!
Mo Wenjie slowly opened his eyes, his eyes revealing a trace of coldness, "Who are you people? How dare you disturb our cultivation."
A man in black robe walked out, and emitted a chilling laugh, "Humph, today is your deadline. We have been keeping an eye on you several cultivators for quite some time." The women also stood up one by one, assuming a combat posture.
Huang Ling'er shouted fiercely and attacked first, sending a surge of spiritual energy towards the group of black-robed figures, but it was easily blocked. Jiang Yu rou formed hand seals with both hands, muttering incantations as she did so, causing the temperature around her to plummet instantly. Ice spikes were shot towards the black-robed men. However, the strength of the black-robed men exceeded expectations; they combined their powers to unleash an eerie formation, and a powerful suction force surged towards everyone.
Just in this critical moment, Mo Wenjie's body emitted golden light, and he roared loudly, his power exploding as it pushed back the black-robed figures. "Unite and attack together, break their formation!" Mo Wenjie shouted. So everyone worked together, pouring their spiritual energy into a single force to break through the black-robed men's formation directly. The black-robed men were shocked and began to scatter in all directions. Mo Wenjie and the others pursued them quickly, driving away the intruders in no time.
Mo Wenjie looked at the crowd, feeling very happy in his heart. He didn't expect that their strength had already reached the level of handling things on their own. It seems that there is no danger in the fourth realm anymore, and no one can hurt them. In this way, he can be at ease. If there is any secret realm or fairy palace in the fourth realm, he can go on an adventure alone this time. Let them practice outside and I will be at ease too!
Jiang Yu rou watched Mo Wenjie with a smile on his face, silent. Then she said, "What are you thinking about nearby? Why not just say it out loud? Let's all share in the happiness, don't keep it to yourself alone. It's better to be happy with others than by oneself!"
Mo Wenjie scratched his head and smiled, "I was thinking that our strength has increased significantly now, and there is little danger to us in the fourth realm. If we encounter any secret realms or fairy palaces in the future, I can safely explore them without worrying about your safety like before."
Jiang Yu rou glared at him, "It turns out that you have this intention. You want to leave us behind and enjoy your freedom alone."
Mo Wenjie hurriedly waved his hands to explain, "How could I dare? I just didn't want you all to take any risks."
At this moment, Huang Ling'er came over, her eyes shining brightly, "Brother Mo, since we are going to explore secret realms and fairy palaces together, where should we go to practice?"
Mo Wenjie thought for a while and said, "I've heard that there is an ancient spirit tower in the extreme north of the fourth realm. It is said that there are countless treasures and powerful martial arts manuals hidden inside. However, it's full of dangers, so we need to prepare ourselves well."
Upon hearing this, the women's eyes lit up, and they cheered together to go there. Mo Wenjie helplessly smiled, "Alright then, let's go back to our residence first to organize our gear, replenish some elixirs and magical artifacts, and then head towards the spirit tower." The crowd cheered and ran towards their residence with excitement and anticipation, leaving a trail of laughter and joy echoing in the air.
After returning to the residence, everyone immediately started to work. Mo Wenjie carefully counted various elixirs, while the women chose suitable magical artifacts. At this moment, Mo Wenjie noticed that the box containing top-grade healing elixirs was empty. He was shocked, as this kind of elixir is very precious and cannot disappear without a reason.
After a thorough search, Mo Wenjie discovered some strange footprints in the corner. They appeared to belong to a small demonic beast. Mo Wenjie realized that someone had broken into their residence. He told this to the women, and their expressions became serious.
Just then, a small fox with its whole body on fire appeared at the door, its mouth carrying a healing elixir. Mo Wenjie was about to move, but the little fox suddenly spoke in human words: "Big Brother Mo, don't be angry. I really stole the food out of hunger. I know the secret of the spirit tower and can guide you there."
Mo Wenjie and the women looked at each other, thinking that the little fox might be useful. Mo Wenjie said, "Alright, if what you said is true, then I will forgive you for what happened earlier." The little fox happily shook its tail. After everyone had prepared themselves, they followed the little fox towards the spirit tower, filled with both uncertainty and expectation.
Walking along, the little fox led the group to a misty forest. The little fox stopped and said, "We will reach the spirit tower after going through this forest, but there are many illusionary arrays and traps inside."
Mo Wenjie cautiously led the way, with the women following closely behind. Suddenly, many vines surged out from all around, wrapping around the group. Mo Wenjie slashed at the vines with his sword, but they kept on multiplying.
Jiang Yu rou used fire magic to temporarily repel the vines. The group quickened their pace but accidentally stepped into a phantom array. The scene in front of them changed, and the women saw Mo Wenjie severely wounded. They couldn't help but exclaim in shock. However, Huang Ling'er remained calm. She took out a stone to break through obstacles and smashed it onto the ground, breaking the phantom array. Finally, they emerged from the forest, with the magnificent spirit tower standing before them.
The little fox said, "There is a guardian beast at the entrance of the spirit tower, and it's very powerful." Mo Wenjie led the women to approach carefully. They saw a massive qilin lying at the entrance.
Mo Wenjie took a deep breath and walked forward steadily with a calm demeanor. He came to the qilin's front, bowed deeply with both hands, and performed a standard bow gesture, speaking with an earnest and firm tone, "Respected qilin lord, we dare to approach this place today to explore it without any evil intentions. We just heard that there are precious treasures and mysterious secret books hidden here, which inspired us to come and see for ourselves."
The qilin was enormous, with its entire body covered in scales that shimmered with multicolored light, resembling a magnificent battle robe. Its eyes shone with an aura of strength and wisdom, as if it could see through everything. At this moment, it was looking down at the unexpected guests before it from high above, with time passing slowly and tension building up in the air.
However, just as everyone's hearts were filled with unease, something unexpected happened. The qilin shifted slightly to the side, as if deliberately making way for them! This sudden move caused a great deal of surprise among them; they exchanged looks of astonishment, their eyes filled with an expression of disbelief.
After the brief surprise, everyone quickly regained their composure and eagerly entered the spirit tower through the path made by the qilin. The moment they stepped through the doorway, a brilliant golden light enveloped them, temporarily blinding them. Once they adjusted to the intensity of the light, they looked around and were stunned by what they saw — inside the spirit tower, everything was bathed in gold and splendor. Countless treasures and secret books were neatly arranged on shelves around them, exuding enticing scents. These treasures were adorned with dazzling gemstones or embellished with exquisite rune patterns. The secret books covered a wide variety of topics, including numerous incredible martial arts techniques and spells.
Faced with such a multitude of priceless treasures, the group was filled with excitement and tension. They knew that their upcoming journey of exploration would certainly be fraught with difficulties and dangers, but they also firmly believed that with unity and cooperation, they were bound to reap something. Thus, a thrilling and heart-stopping adventure officially commenced……
Tuo Bai Yingying saw a pearl floating in the air and she urgently jumped up to grab it. Just as her hand was about to touch the pearl, suddenly, a beam of golden light blocked in front of her, and from the beam, numerous magical symbols shot out and directly hit the pearl!
Mo Wenjie was terrified upon seeing this and shouted, "Yingying, retreat quickly, it's dangerous! This pillar has something fishy."
However, it was too late. Tuo Bai Yingying had already been surrounded by the runes. She couldn't break free. Everyone saw this and were shocked. What kind of origin did this pearl have? It was so powerful, which was too incredible!
Mo Wenjie was heartbroken and worried. Without hesitation, he channeled all his spirit force to charge at the rune circle. The women also followed, trying to use their own spirit force to strike the runes, but they remained motionless.
Just as everyone was anxious, Huang Ling'er suddenly remembered a similar description of the runes in an ancient book, which might be an ancient sealing technique. She shouted out the method to break the seal, which required finding objects of the five elements to place in the five directions around the runes. The group hurriedly searched within the spirit tower, and fortunately, they quickly found everything they needed. After placing them according to the method, the runes gradually dimmed.
Tuo Bai Yingying fell to the ground, and Mo Wenjie quickly rushed over to help her up. Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the spirit tower suddenly shook violently, accompanied by a deep growl. It turned out that they had triggered the tower's defense mechanism by touching the pearl. They needed to leave here as soon as possible.
Mo Wenjie led the group, relying on his memory to dash towards the exit. There were still many traps and traps along the way that were triggered, but they supported each other, and finally, they successfully escaped from the spirit tower. Standing outside the tower, everyone looked back at the still trembling tower with a lingering sense of fear. Mo Wenjie sighed that although this trip was thrilling, they also obtained many treasures and gained valuable experience. Thankfully, they managed to avoid danger this time. Everyone nodded in agreement.
While the group was immersed in their relief after surviving the danger, the sky suddenly darkened. A mass of black clouds gathered quickly, with lightning and thunder crackling within. Mo Wenjie alertly looked up and saw a massive flying boat emerging from the clouds. A beam of light descended from the boat, and a man dressed in luxurious robes stepped out.
"Mo Wenjie, hand over a portion of the treasures you have obtained. Otherwise, today will be your doom," the man spoke arrogantly.
Mo Wenjie clenched his fists, "Why should we hand over the treasures we obtained after facing death?"
The man laughed coldly, "This is my territory. The treasures from the spirit tower should be a part of mine."
The women stood behind Mo Wenjie without fear. Jiang Yu Rou secretly said to Mo Wenjie, "Jiege, let's fight with him."
Mo Wenjie nodded and he discreetly kept some of the treasures they had obtained, pretending to hand over all of them. The man took them over and examined them, but found the quantity to be short. He flew into a rage. Just as he was about to strike, Mo Wenjie suddenly summoned a transportation talisman and disappeared with the women in an instant. The man was furious and could only watch their disappearing direction in anger. Mo Wenjie transported the group to a safe valley using the talisman, and they burst into laughter at each other. This adventure added another legendary experience to their collection.
