Chapter 1506: Chapter 1465: Wary

Yun Yan spread her arms open, and suddenly countless fine and soft fur appeared on her smooth, fair skin. Within a few breaths, Yun Yan revealed her true form, emitting a powerful and terrifying aura!

The Nine-tailed Fox, as large as a small mountain, resided at the only passageway, letting out a cry that actually caused the countless demon beasts spread across the mountains to halt in their tracks!

Seeing this scene, Situ Qinghuan swallowed hard, her eyes full of astonishment.

She had once seen Yun Ji, the current queen of the Demon Tribe, who was also not a woman to be underestimated.

But the woman before her was clearly not Yun Ji; her aura was far stronger than Yun Ji’s by a long margin!

With just a single cry, she could force the demon beasts to halt their steps!

“Yun Yan, can you control them?”

“Of course not, at best it’s just a warning, informing them that this place already has me, the Demon King. Anyone who dares to step closer would be challenging my authority.

They are not demon beasts from the same tribe as me, how could they possibly obey my commands? Alright, for the time being, they won’t attack again. You should seize this chance to hastily build your defenses, as for you, Lu Chuan, come with me.”

Before Lu Chuan could speak, Yun Yan had already shed her fur, draped a long gown over her shoulders, and briskly pulled Lu Chuan away by his collar.

Seeing this, Situ Qinghuan furrowed her brows, but said nothing more.

First, there was Fuxiang Yun Ji, and now there was another nameless fox woman, plus Miao Conglu, this half-human half-fox woman. Why is Lu Chuan so interested in these little fox spirits?

Could it be that Lu Chuan likes this kind of fox seducer? Infuriating!

However, no matter what, Yun Yan had helped them greatly; she not only bought time but also gave them a chance to catch their breath.

“Yun Yan, those demon beasts haven’t left yet, is it really alright?”

“I am merely in soul form, my physical body has long since been destroyed. Staying there wouldn’t help much, I was just bluffing earlier, others may not know, but don’t you?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan only then realized the crux of the matter, and suddenly understood, “No wonder…”

“Alright, I have something more important to tell you. Listen to me, then it’s not too late to leave.”

As Yun Yan spoke, she stepped out from Lu Chuan’s body and sat down at the table, calmly saying, “Firstly, it’s about the Tower Spirit. She asked me to relay a message to you.”

“What does the Tower Spirit wish to say?”

“This time, whatever happens, you must not approach that tower. If there is a chance, it will naturally look for you. But if there is no chance, then there is no need for you to seek it.”

Upon hearing these words, Lu Chuan’s face suddenly darkened.

What kind of strength must that woman possess to make the Tower Spirit so wary, even to repeatedly emphasize something?

“How can this be… that tower, and that woman, what on earth is going on?”

“That’s the second thing I wanted to tell you, Lu Chuan, you should know, right? The Tower Spirit was once a human, the strongest in an era, without equal.”

“I’ve had similar suspicions…”

“Now I can tell you clearly, the Tower Spirit, the radiant woman you met today, that was her appearance in life, as the strongest of that era. No woman as breathtaking as her has appeared before, strong, mysterious.

The Demon Suppression Pagoda was her most cherished and proud treasure in life. It is said that she suppressed ten Demon Kings in the Demon Suppression Pagoda to demonstrate her might, and these ten Demon Kings became known as the Ten Kings Retainers, following her orders as her slaves.”

Upon hearing the particularly harsh word “slaves,” Lu Chuan slightly frowned, looking at Yun Yan with a complicated expression.

As if sensing Lu Chuan’s gaze, Yun Yan shrugged and laughed, “Don’t look at me like that, I wasn’t even born at that time, there’s no chance I could serve as one of the Ten Kings Retainers. Most of those Ten Demon Kings seem to have died in battle, only one survived, and is still suppressed within the Demon Suppression Pagoda.”

“That’s good, I thought…”

“Thought what? Thought I had become her slave? Hmm… but if I had met her in life, I might have willingly become her female slave. After all, with such a breathtaking woman, how many people wouldn’t be enthralled by her beauty?”

“…Get to the point, don’t go off on a tangent.”

“Oh, right, where was I? Oh yes, the Ten Kings Retainers… With these ten Demon Kings, she established an empire in that era, the most powerful to date, almost purging all the forces in the world. Those living in the same era as her had to choose either to surrender or face destruction, there were no other choices. Because of this, she was called the Empress Wu Zong, as for her real name, I don’t know. I’ve asked before, but she never talked about it.”

Shrugging, Yun Yan said, “Unfortunately, after unifying the world, she set her sights on a world she should not have coveted, the true Immortal Realm.

It’s said that this place is where all ascended immortals reside, immensely powerful. The Empress should never have set her sights on the Immortal Realm. She never detailed the process, but the outcome… well, you know about it now; she lost completely.

Her physical body was destroyed, her soul sealed within her cherished Demon Suppression Pagoda, sentenced to eternal life and suffering without end, and that is her story.”

Hearing this, Lu Chuan had mixed feelings.

On one hand, hearing the true identity of the Tower Spirit firsthand, it’s hard to say he wasn’t shocked.

The once stunning Empress Wu Zong had become an Artifact Spirit, which inevitably evokes a sigh.

There’s also one matter that particularly concerned Lu Chuan.

“You mentioned the true Immortal Realm… what kind of place is that?”

“I don’t know, I’ve never seen it. To this day, even related records have nearly vanished, and nobody knows if it truly exists. But according to her words, in that true Immortal Realm, immortals are as numerous as the stars, possessing the richest Spiritual Power, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are everywhere, and no one dares to touch them. But who knows if that’s true or not?

Alright, don’t interrupt me, I’m not finished yet!”

Yun Yan glared at Lu Chuan irritably, then walked slowly to the window, looking at the towering Sky-reaching Giant Tower, apparent from afar, she calmly said, “If I’m not mistaken, that should have been a part of the Demon Suppression Pagoda, a part she personally destroyed.

Just didn’t expect it to see the light of day again at this time. I think someone might have restored part of the tower body, and inside, it suppresses the entire ancient demon race.”
