Chapter 172: If I Call You, Will You Dare to Answer?
The Li Family of Central Continent is a well-known family in tool creation and is very likely to be Zhou Tong’s own family.
But strangely, in his previous life, when Zhou Tong went to Central Continent, the Li Family had long since ceased to exist, just like the Celestial Master Clan, destroyed for unknown reasons.
Zhou Tong stared intently at the two people, originally thinking they had come to find him, but it proved he was overthinking it.
The two individuals stood aimlessly in the crowd, making no strange moves.
“Boom…”
The spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth surged, and the seal at the entrance of the secret realm dimmed, causing everyone’s hearts to leap into their throats.
“Everyone be careful, the seal is about to break!”
Someone shouted, and immediately, a cracking sound was heard as the light shattered completely, an endless suction force bursting forth from the entrance, locking onto the people nearby!
“Ah ah ah…”
Many people were caught off guard, flailing as they were swept in.
Shangguan Wugou entered alongside the Supreme Clarity Sect members, while Zhou Tong and the other held hands, emanating a gentle glow as they stepped in steadily.
Moments later, the entrance sealed, and everything returned to calm.
…
“Spell Six… Xuan Guang!”
In the pitch-black space, Zhou Tong formed a talisman, casting a ray of light.
“Senior Sister!”
He shouted, having locked onto Zhang Chuqiao’s position.
“I’m here!”
Senior Sister stepped forward, landing steadily beside him, wrapping her arm around his.
Only now did the two start to examine this world.
“It seems like a cave dwelling; I can still hear the sound of dripping water.”
Zhang Chuqiao listened carefully and spoke softly.
“It’s not that simple.”
Zhou Tong roughly released his spiritual power, probing up and down, getting a general sense of the area.
“This is a folded space with upper, middle, and lower regions. We are currently at the uppermost level, and our ultimate goal lies at the lowest level!”
“Clearing levels? That sounds quite interesting,” Senior Sister’s expression was extremely calm.
“Don’t be careless!”
Just as his words fell, a killing intent surged from all directions.
“Who dares to be unruly?” Zhou Tong roared!
Endless light surged forth, completely illuminating the darkness.
The void was filled with strange creatures, some the size of a palm, and others several dozen feet long; serpentine like dragons and snakes, tiger-like and bear-like, in all shapes and forms!
“These guys are at least at the Transcendent Realm, the strongest have even crossed the Transcendent Divide!”
Zhang Chuqiao exclaimed in surprise, carefully counting, there were easily over a thousand strange creatures.
If it weren’t for the two of them arriving here, this area would be a dead end for anyone else.
“Hiss… ha…”
As they spoke, those strange creatures moved, lunging to bite at the two, attempting to devour them.
“Life-Balance Dominion!”
Zhou Tong launched a wide-range kill technique, but when a hand sign came down, these creatures surprisingly remained unaffected.
Impossible?
Zhou Tong rarely showed a look of surprise.
“Tai Yi, extinguish!”
Senior Sister crushed dozens of strange species with a single blow, turning them into golden light points that fell onto her arm.
“How strange, these creatures lack both life and death energy; they seem like beings created by the laws of this world.”
Zhang Chuqiao, being of the Yin-Yang Body, immediately sensed something amiss.
“Since they can be exterminated, it’s much simpler.”
Zhou Tong took a deep breath, “Watch me crush them with my spiritual power in one go!”
“Spirit Seal 90, Black Coffin!”
Darkness capable of distorting space suddenly descended, then exploded, destroying everything around!
Those creatures were instantly annihilated, also transforming into light points, like stars scattered on Zhou Tong’s arm.
After probing, Zhou Tong breathed a sigh of relief.
These light points were harmless; instead, they harbored complex law circuits, resembling some kind of special currency.
“You two have been secretly observing for quite a while, are you not going to show yourselves now?”
Suddenly, Zhou Tong’s gaze turned sharp as he looked to his left.
His spiritual power had long mastered everything around; no one could conceal themselves before him.
“I didn’t expect to run into two formidable figures as soon as I entered.”
Two figures strode out, members of the Li Family from Central Continent.
“State your names.”
Zhou Tong’s face was cold.
“I am Li Gui, and this is Li Chang!”
The man with a gourd at his waist lifted his head proudly, looking quite arrogant.
“You wouldn’t understand even if we told you; we are the stewards of the Li Family, with significant backgrounds!”
“And so?”
Zhou Tong squinted and asked.
So you must hand over the spiritual light coins on you, and after we achieve our goal, we might give you a bit of a reward.
“Spiritual light coins!”
Zhou Tong looked at the light points on his arm and smiled knowingly.
He was even more certain of his previous guess that the more of these light points collected, the greater the authority in this space!
“And if I refuse?”
“Then you’re asking for trouble!”
Upon hearing this, both Zhou Tong and Zhang Chuqiao were taken aback; the other party was merely at the Life-Death Realm, how dare they act so boldly?
“State your names; we do not kill nameless ones.”
Li Gui said arrogantly.
“I am Zhou Tong; use whatever means you have!”
“Good… I hope you won’t regret it.”
Li Gui took down the gourd from his waist, opened the stopper, turning it upside down towards Zhou Tong.
“Will you dare to answer if I call your name?”
Zhou Tong froze, his spiritual power scanned the gourd, and he smirked, licking his lips.
“You go ahead!”
“Zhou Tong!”
“Grandfather is here!”
As soon as the words fell, the gourd suddenly erupted with countless rays of light, enveloping Zhou Tong and sucking him directly inside!
“Junior Brother!”
Zhang Chuqiao’s expression changed drastically, her anger erupting.
“Return my Junior Brother!”
A terrifying aura swept through the void, revealing fear in both their eyes.
“Woman, do not be presumptuous!”
Beside, Li Chang also moved, casually tossing a golden glow rope that fell over Zhang Chuqiao, tightly ensnaring her!
“That woman!”
Li Gui shouted again, and the Senior Sister subconsciously responded, also being sucked into the gourd.
“Hahaha… two country bumpkins, all without effort!”
After sealing the gourd, the two couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“This precious gourd contains the essence of Yin and Yang; in no time, they will turn into pus, and all those spiritual light coins will then be ours!”
“Indeed, if this works out, the family head and the young master will surely reward us generously!”
Having finished speaking, the two linked arms and left.
“Senior Sister, you’ve come too!”
Zhou Tong lay contentedly in the Yin-Yang grinding mill, greeting Zhang Chuqiao beside him.
“Junior Brother, help me…”
She twisted her delicate body, bound by the golden rope; her originally alluring figure was now even more curvaceous, making it hard to resist.
“All my cultivation has been suppressed; I have no power to resist! You cannot take advantage of me and do whatever you want to Senior Sister…”
As those words left his mouth, Zhou Tong’s eyes nearly burst into flames!
