Excessive ferocity due to caution

The expressions of the trial participants present changed subtly when they heard Jiang Muming declare that he would protect Zhao Yi.

In the past, their actions against Zhao Yi were simply a matter of whether they had enough strength or not.

But now it's different.

If we want to take action against Zhao, we have to consider the Jiang family.

At present, although Zhao Yi is powerful, even ordinary low-level fierce beasts are no match for him, the capital city is different from other ordinary towns in the chaotic world. If a fierce beast is placed in the countryside, it will naturally be the only one in heaven and earth. But when it comes to the capital city, anyone who dares to cause trouble will be beaten to a pulp.

In order to befriend the Li family and for the reward, it is possible that a powerful and dangerous entity might attack Zhao Yi!

The entertainment company is currently facing internal financial difficulties, and if it really goes against the Li family, it will be hard to protect Zhao Zhou.

A lion cub that hasn't grown up can never become the lion king.

No matter how talented someone is, dying in the cradle will never pose a threat.

Outsiders were unaware that the Qin family had already become involved in the matter.

Because Qin Bai spent most of his time studying at universities and his father consciously protected him, very few people knew him.

Let alone outsiders, even the Qin family women stared at the handsome young man three or five times, guessing many possibilities, but still couldn't remember who this somewhat familiar face was.

"Could he be my husband from the future who traveled back in time to protect me?"

"Otherwise, why does it feel so familiar to me?"

At that moment, an outrageous idea popped into the woman's mind.

She immediately banished this absurd idea from her mind.

"Damn it, Qin Yao, you must have read too many female-oriented novels and ruined your brain..."

"But seriously, I can come up with such a brilliant reason; that's really something!"

Qin Yao gave herself a huge affirmation in her heart.

"By the way... why are you here, senior?"

She asked Jiang Muming.

The old man stroked his beard, slowly healing himself while explaining:

"This goes back many years... I can't remember the exact dates anymore, and I've been living here in a daze for who knows how long."

After discussing the dates with Jiang Muming, Jiang Muming was shocked to discover that he had actually been in the Torture Tower for sixty years!

"It's been so long already..."

Jiang Muming's gaze suddenly dimmed.

"It seems that Tao Tao has passed away."

The old man told everyone that he had risked entering the Abyss to seek some miraculous medicine to cure his granddaughter Tao Tao's illness.

Later, he discovered traces of the Skull Church in the depths of darkness. He explored all the way to the Tower of Punishment, only to find that a great terror was living inside!

He attempted to escape, but the difference in strength between them was too great, and his opponent easily defeated and imprisoned him.

The Tower of Punishment has always been wandering and uncertain in the Abyss, sometimes hiding in the void, sometimes sinking into the earth and the deep sea... Fortunately, it is very wary of the depths of the Abyss and has never gone deep into it.

Then this year, it just so happens that we stumbled upon the area of ​​the Infinite Trial, and coincidentally, a group of trial participants entered, and were able to fight against the sealed and weakened Son of God.

So he escaped through a series of coincidences.

"There are many traces left by the Church of Skull in the Tower of Torture."

"They desperately wanted to summon the Giant of Suffering from the Tower of Torture, but they failed."

"The constraints within the Abyss are terrifying; the more powerful a being is, the deeper the constraints they face!"

"The more you want to leave... the harder it is!"

As the old man spoke, he pointed to the headless corpse of the Son of God and said:

"For an existence of this caliber, leaving the Abyss... is virtually impossible."

Before being imprisoned in the Tower of Torture, he had spent some time wandering in the Infernal Realm.

According to Jiang Muming, there is more than one torture tower in the Avici Hell.

He saw at least seven or eight, but most of them were in terrible condition, having been attacked by an unknown entity, leaving only ruins and countless scattered broken instruments of torture.

There were no living creatures inside.

Upon hearing this, and considering the church's previous actions in the outside world, Zhao Yi suddenly understood... there is more than one Son of God.

Whether it's an evil god or hellish monks behind the Church of the Skull, there's always some enormous entity, or a group of entities, connecting with them and guiding them...

"Senior Jiang, do you know a way to leave the torture tower?"

When one of the trial participants asked Jiang Muming a question, he looked anxious and restless, unwilling to continue in this place.

Jiang Muming pondered for a moment, trying to recall his hazy memories of his time as a prisoner.

"To leave the Torture Tower, you need to go to the top."

"But the road to the top is difficult."

"It requires going through seven painful trials."

"Those who can endure this will be able to leave the torture tower."

Qin Bai asked curiously:

"What if they can't make it through?"

Jiang Muming glanced at Qin Bai, somewhat surprised.

He is too young.

It is rare to see such a young person enter the Abyss to participate in the trials.

"If we can't make it through, then we probably won't make it through."

Jiang Muming replied.

Everyone fell silent.

"That senior... what exactly are the sevenfold sufferings like?"

Jiang Muming didn't answer, he just waved his hand.

"Come with me."

He led everyone to the end of the plaza, where, at the very end of the Son of God's corpse, a staircase made of bones appeared.

The air was thick with endless resentment and the stench of decay.

The group climbed the steps upwards.

At the end, there was a pitch-black room.

There is a bone tablet outside.

"Only after enduring sevenfold suffering can one gain freedom..."

The dark, inky writing on it was a shock to everyone's eyes.

"To leave this place, do we really need to enter this room?"

Some people, faced with a pitch-black room, were already intimidated.

For some reason, looking at the pitch-black darkness, his legs felt weak.

Jiang Muming's tone was helpless:

"Even I'm not sure."

"After all, I have been imprisoned in this place for the past sixty years, but it seems that we have no other way to go but this one."

There is only one path inside the Torture Tower.

One is the entrance, but you can only enter and not exit.

There's another one, and that's here.

"There's no other way, we have to try."

Jiang Muming had recovered somewhat and was the first to enter the room.

As soon as he entered, his body was completely covered by darkness and dissolved like a bubble.

After being imprisoned here for sixty years, Jiang Muming finally regained his freedom and sanity.

He would rather die here than continue to be imprisoned.

Zhao Yi and Qin Bai exchanged a glance.

Without saying a word, he stepped into the dark room.

In Zhao Yi's system space, something moved unexpectedly.

Seeing Zhao Yi step in, Qin Bai, who was initially a bit timid, gritted his teeth and followed him in.

What's there to be afraid of!

When a person dies, the bird flies to the sky!

Three people went in, while the remaining trial participants looked at each other in bewilderment.

"I'm not going in."

One of the trial participants took the first step back.

"I'd rather stay here forever... Anyway, that terrible giant has been killed, and it's safe here."

"What sevenfold suffering...?"

"Who knows if it's true or false?"

"This might be a trap!"

The more he spoke, the more intense his tone became.

His face turned red and his neck thickened.

Some of the trial participants also chose to stay.

A total of four people.

The rest chose to enter the dark room.
