Ancient Devouring Technique

Chapter 588 Sneak Attack
There were at least nearly a thousand people gathered outside the black pagoda, distributed around the pagoda, looking at it vigilantly. It was unknown what had happened to the pagoda's spirit, which had actually closed the pagoda, preventing outsiders from entering.

But just now, the pagoda returned to normal and opened the blockade formation.

In the distance, Yao Chi was rushing here, and following closely behind her were more than thirty outstanding male and female disciples of the Moluo Sect wearing black robes.

Soon, Yao Chi and other disciples had arrived near the black tower, and more and more warriors from the Moluo Sect also gathered, surrounding the black tower in three layers inside and outside, making it impossible to get in or out.

For a moment, the light of Yuanli outside the tower was everywhere, and the murderous aura was overwhelming, forming a net that covered the black tower tightly.

Yao Chi walked to the door of the black tower with a gloomy face, with a hint of worry in his eyes. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a commotion outside the crowd and someone shouted, "The Third Elder is here!"

The martial artists quickly stood aside with their hands down, expressions of respect on their faces.

But then an old man in green came in from outside the crowd, followed by nine middle-aged warriors with extraordinary demeanor and gold edges on their sleeves.

The old man in green had a simple face, a thin and tall figure, long arms and legs, and a layer of faint green light lingering all over his body. His aura was as thick as the abyss, and the half-meter space around him was slightly distorted.

"Yao Chi, what's going on? Why did the restriction on the fifth floor of the Demon-Suppressing Tower suddenly sound an alarm? Could it be that an outsider broke into the tower by force?" The old man in green spoke majestically, his expression intimidating without even being angry.

Yao Chi frowned slightly. The Moluo Sect was divided into two major factions, one was the Yao Family and the other was the Zang Family. The old man in green was none other than Zang Wuchen, one of the ancestors of the Zang Family. His cultivation had reached the Semi-Emperor Realm, infinitely close to the Martial Emperor Realm. He was the strongest person left behind by the Moluo Sect to suppress the sect this time.

The Demon-Suppressing Tower has been guarding here for hundreds of years. It is the first time that the fifth floor of the Demon-Suppressing Tower has been touched as it is today. And right now, there is a great war with the Sun and Moon Palace, and the sect is empty, so we have to be careful.

With Zang Wuchen here, Yao Chi suddenly felt shorter than before. She did not dare to neglect him and bowed to answer, "Third Elder, I am new here too. Not long ago, I asked Yao Qing and the other two to go to the tower to do some work. Perhaps they were curious and accidentally triggered the restriction on the fifth floor. You came at the right time. If it was really the work of those two bastards, I will definitely punish them severely and will not let them off lightly."

Not long ago, Yao Chi heard Bai Feng's shouting and thought that the other party was lying to her again. This kind of thing had happened before. She didn't believe that there were people from outside the sect who dared to break into the Demon Suppression Tower, and could break in silently!
The Demon-Suppressing Tower is the most precious treasure of the Moluo Sect!
Therefore, Yao Chi had only asked his younger brother to bring people over.

Zang Wuchen looked cold and nodded slightly without saying anything else.

As the elder guarding the sect this time, he must not allow any accidents to happen.

A round-faced warrior behind him stood up and said to Yao Chi, "Your Highness, the fifth floor of the Demon Suppression Tower is a forbidden area of ​​the sect. Although we don't know what is inside, no one is allowed to enter without the permission of the sect master. Although Yao Qing is your brother, you can't let them violate the clan rules. Call them out and follow the sect rules to give each of them thirty 'Heavenly Dragon Whips'."

"Zang Tianfeng! You!" Anger flashed across Yao Chi's face, and she hated Zang Tianfeng so much in her heart that her teeth were itching. This 'Tiangang Demon Dragon Whip' was an extremely cruel punishment in the sect. It was so painful when it was whipped on the body that it went deep into the soul. If Yao Qing and the others were to receive these thirty 'whips', they would be crippled even if they didn't die.

This Zang Tianfeng and the other eight middle-aged warriors are all law enforcers of the Zang family in the "Law Enforcement Hall" and they receive orders directly from Zang Wuchen.

These nine people are highly skilled in martial arts, all of them have cultivation above the Martial Emperor Realm. Relying on their status as law enforcers of the 'Law Enforcement Hall', they are used to being rampant in the sect, doing whatever they want and looking down on others. Except for respecting a few elders, they don't take anyone else seriously, including her, the Saint.

And Zang Tianfeng has a very talented daughter who has always been interested in her position as a saint. Strictly speaking, the status of a saint is not lower than that of an elder. She has many privileges, and her training resources are incomparable to those of other disciples and deacons.

Therefore, Zang Tianfeng and Yao Chi have always been at odds. Today, taking this opportunity, he will of course embarrass Yao Chi and trip her up.

How could Yao Chi let his brother be punished? He suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice, "Uncle Feng, Yao Qing and the other two are extremely talented. Although they accidentally entered the forbidden area because of curiosity, they are not guilty of death. If you use these thirty 'Heavenly Dragon Whips' to hit us, won't our sect lose two talented disciples in vain?"

After hearing what Yao Chi said, Zang Tianfeng chuckled and said, "What can a genius disciple do? Yao Chi, do you suspect that I, Zang Tianfeng, am unfair and abuse punishment? As a deacon of the Law Enforcement Hall, I am familiar with the sect rules. Those who trespass into the fifth-level important area should have their cultivation abolished. I only punished them with thirty "whips", which is already light. If they still have a breath left after these thirty whips, they can recover by feeding them a few pills and recuperating for a few months. The third elder is here today, so please ask him to judge and see if I handled it properly!"

After Zang Tianfeng said this, the eight deacons of the Law Enforcement Hall also echoed him.

Everyone turned their eyes to the Third Elder to see how he would express his opinion.

Zang Wuchen's eyes flashed with brilliance, and after a moment's silence, he said, "Yao Chi, please let Yao Qing and the others come out first. I will make a conclusion after I understand what happened."

"Yes!" Yao Chi bowed respectfully, turned around and shouted to the inside of the tower, "Yao Qing, you two little bastards, get out here!"

There was silence in the tower, without any response.

Yao Chi was stunned. She was very powerful and her voice was loud enough to be heard throughout the main peak. There was no way Yao Qing and the others could not have heard it. After thinking about it, she understood that the two must have known that they had caused a big disaster and were afraid of being punished by the sect rules, so they deliberately hid in the tower and dared not come out.

He couldn't help but feel secretly annoyed in his heart, and shouted again, "Yao Qing, the Third Elder is here, and I know that you have mistakenly entered the sect's important place. If you come out now, you can still survive. If you don't come out, when the sentencing comes, you will be charged with contempt of the elders. At that time, the crime will be aggravated and the two crimes will be punished together. You must think carefully!"

Her words were clearly an excuse for Yao Qing and the other two. Zang Tianfeng and the others couldn't help but curl their lips and look disapproving after hearing them. The strange thing was that there was still no movement in the tower, only deathly silence.

The Zang family ancestor frowned and said, "Something seems to be wrong... Tianfeng, go and take a look!"

Zang Tianfeng's face lit up with joy, and he responded, "Old Ancestor, those two little bastards are clearly too scared to come out, I'll go in and pull them out right now!"

Up to this point, no one still believed that an outsider could break into the Demon-Suppressing Tower.

Lightning flashed from Zang Tianfeng's body and he flew to the gate of the black tower. He stretched out his hand and pushed the gate open.

At the same time, he shouted, "Senior Qiling, I am a third-generation direct disciple of the sect. I am sorry for the offense!"

"Ah!? This is..." Zang Tianfeng had just pushed the door open a crack when his expression suddenly changed.

"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!" He only felt the flash of sword light before his eyes, and ten crystal shadow swords whistled and slashed in front of him.

This powerful Martial Emperor would never have thought that someone would launch a sneak attack on him. With the existence of the spirit of the Demon Suppression Tower, he had no sense of defense at all and was stunned for a moment. In this short moment of distraction, ten crystal sword lights easily tore open the lightning shield around him.

"Enemy attack!" Zang Tianfeng suddenly woke up and shouted, and was about to retreat, but it was too late. 'Puff puff puff...' Ten space swords broke his body into countless pieces like a meat grinder, and blood splattered everywhere.

Death! A Martial Emperor Level 6 expert was killed so easily!

Ye Xuan inside the tower waved his hand, and ten void swords gathered together to form a huge flying sword, which flew around him and circled.

He was quite satisfied with his sneak attack just now. The Void Sword was extremely sharp and was best at cutting. It could easily split the shield of a sixth-level Martial Emperor.

Behind Ye Xuan, two young men were kneeling and trembling.

They were Yao Qing and another disciple of the Yao family.

The two guys were only at the Martial King level. As soon as they entered the tower to investigate, they were controlled by the Demon Eye that controlled the spirit of the Demon Suppression Tower.

There was silence outside the tower. Everyone was shocked by the scene of Zang Tianfeng's body being shattered. Yao Chi's eyes were as fast as lightning. She had already seen the situation inside the tower clearly, and her face suddenly became filled with surprise.

"Not good! Hide quickly! Form a formation quickly!" Yao Chi's beautiful eyes suddenly widened, and without thinking, she pushed with both palms, and a black light shield instantly appeared in front of her.

At this moment, the whistling sound of swords rose up from the pitch-black tower gate. "Swish! Swish! Swish!" It was so dense that it was terrifying. Flying swords like long dragons flew out of the gate like a torrent, slashing at the disciples of the Demon Sect.

For a moment, there was chaos, ghosts crying, and wolves howling, and shrill screams rang out continuously.
