After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 298 Tower

The infant vine snakes went from being aggressive and tireless to being listless in just a moment.

The disciples who were fighting with them were surprised to find that these troublesome snakes had lost all their strength and fallen to the ground, without even the movement of twisting their bodies.

"Ugh, it's turned into those vines again!"

"It looks even shriveled than a rattan cane."

"It seems they're dead beyond dead, so at least they won't reproduce indefinitely."

Some people breathed a sigh of relief.

The reproduction he was referring to wasn't real reproduction, but rather that the severed snakes would regenerate into complete new snakes, in greater numbers than before.

Only a very powerful fire could burn them to ashes, but... they didn't have that kind of fire.

The fire is less intense when using ordinary fire, and these snakeskins, though made of some unknown material, seem to have some fire-resistant properties.

Only when all the snakes stopped moving and the towering tree turned from lush green to withered yellow in just a few moments did they believe that they had finally gotten rid of them.

As for the "fruits" on the tree, with the death of the "heart," they could no longer survive and had dried up on the tree, no longer showing their original pink and tender appearance.

Everyone was exhausted, and as soon as the battle was over, many people sat down on the spot.

I was so tired that I didn't even notice the snake corpses all over the ground, and I just sat down.

"Thank you all for your hard work. These snake skins are excellent materials for making magic robes. Please divide them up; it's a bonus."

Chen Lan said with a smile.

The disciples then became interested and, no longer caring about their disdain, happily divided up all the snake skins on the ground, finally feeling that the battle had not been in vain.

Someone asked Chen Lan curiously about the snakes and trees, and Chen Lan then explained the details about the Infant Vine Snake.

"Wow, so that's how it is. No wonder those snakes kept alive no matter how we killed them."

"The Peak Master is truly amazing! He is so knowledgeable and talented that he can even know such obscure things like the back of his hand!"

"Fortunately, the Peak Master is here. Otherwise, even if we fought them for a long time, it would be difficult to win. Once our spiritual energy is exhausted and our pills are used up, we will surely be defeated due to exhaustion."

"Yes, thankfully the Peak Master arrived in time."

Chen Lan blushed slightly. "I don't really know anything about it. I was just lucky. I overheard some senior colleague mentioning it..."

"Peak Master Chen is far too modest!"

They were getting close to their meeting point for the evening, so Chen Lan led everyone along. A short while later, they arrived at the forest with red leaves.

"Why are there still people who haven't arrived?" Chen Lan frowned.

The biggest obstacle on this road was the Infant Vine Serpent. Even though Chen Lan and the others were delayed for so long, they still arrived at the meeting point before dark.

But after waiting for a while, seven people still hadn't arrived.

This made Chen Lan uneasy, fearing that they had encountered some danger.

However, they did not see any yellow smoke anywhere else along the way, which means that no disciples went to ask for help.

“Ming Chong’s team has four people, and Zheng Xue’s team has three. They must be the ones who didn’t come,” a disciple said. “I saw them on the way. They seemed fine then. I don’t know why they missed their journey…”

Chen Lan knew that something must have happened to them.

If nothing had gone wrong, they wouldn't have been so late in arriving without encountering the Infant Vine Serpent.

As darkness fell, if they couldn't return to their unit by now, the night would be even more difficult for them.

Those seven were greedy and are now trapped in the Tower of Recall.

[I don't know whether to praise their good luck or bad luck, they even managed to trigger this hidden thing.] [But it's good, rescuing those seven people and then subduing the Returning Tower will allow us to bring them to the Immortal Sect!]

Mo Jiuwei swung her little feet, thinking to herself.

The Tower of Return?
Chen Lan's heart skipped a beat, and she thought of the tower on the map.

The junior sister once mentioned that this tower appears and disappears intermittently, its appearance and disappearance depending on fate, and in general, it appears very rarely. Even she herself cannot reliably summon it.

It was precisely because of its instability that Chen Lan did not include the tower in his plan, nor did he think it would be a coincidence that a disciple would trigger it.

Now it seems... the good ones don't come true, but the bad ones do!

"Let's go find them."

Chen Lan looked at everyone and said.

Actually, so many people don't need to go, but it takes time for her to find people to travel back and forth, and she's still not comfortable leaving everyone here.

Since that's the case, we might as well take it with us; it just means we'll have to walk a bit further.

The disciples had no objections and were all willing to go together.

When a disciple suddenly encountered an accident, they became uneasy, realizing that there were still dangers in this secret realm, and dared not stay there alone.

Subtly, everyone began to trust Chen Lan more and more, and this reliance had led them to ignore their cultivation.

It's not just because Chen Lan knows a lot, but also because of her calm and composed nature, which inexplicably makes people feel at ease and secure.

Because of the route map and the help of her junior sister, Chen Lan already knew where the person was before she even started looking for them. So, while it seemed like she was searching, she was actually heading straight for the Tower of Return.

only……

Upon reaching the vicinity, Chen Lan found nothing.

The tower has disappeared again!
"Peak Master, what are you looking for?"

"Do you think Ming Chong and the others are nearby?"

The disciples asked in confusion.

Even though there was nothing unusual here, Chen Lan frowned and searched around as if there were some clues.

“It is indeed here,” Lei Dahai said. “I can smell someone lingering here, but I don’t know why I can’t see anyone.”

Chen Lan looked at Lei Dahai, somewhat surprised.

How could he sense it?

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Lei Dahai has so many treasures on him, and maybe he made his discovery by using those treasures.

That's good too. With Lei Dahai around, Chen Lan can offer a more reasonable explanation.

“I feel the same way.” She lied through her teeth. “Let’s split up and search, but don’t stray out of sight. Just search nearby.”

"Yes!"

Lei Dahai jogged towards Chen Lan. "Peak Master, I suspect something has trapped someone, and that thing has the ability to hide its tracks! I have a magic weapon that can make things visible, should we give it a try?"

You have so many amazing tricks up your sleeve.

Is this the power of Wan Guan Zhenren's only son?
"Okay." Chen Lan nodded.

She had no way to deal with that tower and could only try her luck, but with disciples inside, she dared not waste any time.

If there were a way to make the tower visible, that would be ideal.

With Chen Lan's words, Lei Dahai unleashed his secret weapon.
