Supreme Lord of Towers

At this moment, Lin Man’s eyes turned blood-red, her entire chest filled with rage.

She really couldn’t understand how Ye Chen, a waste who couldn’t even awaken his bloodline, could accidentally open the Carefree Wanderer’s abode.

If it weren’t for the Secret Treasure, this waste wouldn’t even be able to kill Tang Lin, let alone be a match for her, ranked forty-second on the Hidden Dragon List.

She just didn’t believe that such a waste, who only relied on the Secret Treasure, could really pass the Soul Hall’s test.

”Ye Chen, waste like you shouldn’t exist in this world. If it wasn’t for you, a jinx, we wouldn’t be trapped here. Why didn’t you obediently die at Tang Lin’s hands?” Lin Man’s face was covered in thick frost, she said through gritted teeth.

Ah!

Just then, a series of extremely miserable screams suddenly came from outside the hall, sounding spine-chilling.

”It’s here, that terrifying entity has appeared.”

”What do we do, what should we do?” The young cultivators of the Celestial Pearl Dynasty gasped one after another, their expressions terrified to the extreme, even their calves trembling violently.

”Run, quickly run.” Lin Man’s mind buzzed, her hair standing on end uncontrollably.

Swoosh.

The next moment, she almost instinctively flew towards another exit of the hall, not daring to linger for even a second.

That terrifying entity could even kill those ranked in the top ten of the Hidden Dragon List.

If she were really targeted by it, she would undoubtedly die.

”Senior Sister Lin Man, wait for us.” The young cultivators of the Celestial Pearl Dynasty finally snapped out of their fear and chased after Lin Man.

Creepy laughter.

Just as the group of young cultivators was about to reach the hall’s exit, a bizarre, sinister laugh suddenly echoed in their ears, like a wailing ghost.

Ah!

Immediately afterward, those young cultivators of the Celestial Pearl Dynasty let out screams of extreme terror, their bodies collapsing onto the ground.

In front of them, an eerie figure appeared without anyone knowing when.

Slash, slash.

Before anyone could clearly see this figure, terrifying cyan demonic light, like sharp swords, pierced into the foreheads of the young cultivators, causing their souls to be scattered completely.

Before they died, their eyes were wide open, filled with intense fear and despair.

”Creepy laughter, the souls of the Human Race are truly delicious! If I can devour all the souls of the human cultivators here, my strength should recover significantly,” the eerie figure sneered.

Swish.

Immediately after, its figure disappeared from where it stood, as if it had never existed.

”Dead, they’re all dead.” In a dark passageway, Lin Man panted heavily, her expression indescribably horrified.

If she hadn’t escaped quickly just now, her fate would undoubtedly be the same as those other cultivators of the Celestial Pearl Dynasty.

Being able to escape from that hall was truly a stroke of luck.

”Damn Ye Chen, it’s all your fault, waste, getting us into this mess, all because of you.” Lin Man’s teeth clenched tightly, her heart filled with hatred towards Ye Chen.

Swoosh.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen’s figure was rapidly traversing a passageway not far from Lin Man.

He was guided by the Purple Gold Token to this place and felt that the inheritance of the Carefree Wanderer was getting closer and closer.

”The inheritance of the Carefree Wanderer is in the palace ahead.” At this moment, Ye Chen’s eyes suddenly shot out a dazzling brilliance, his expression extremely excited.

In front of him, dozens of feet away, stood a magnificent, resplendent palace.

The palace doors were forged from a special metal, appearing incredibly heavy.

Even an immortal at the Divine Mansion Realm would find it difficult to forcibly break these doors.

In fact, this mysterious palace had already been discovered by the cultivators who entered here to explore.

However, no matter what methods they used, they couldn’t open the palace doors.

Many suspected that the inheritance of the Carefree Wanderer was very likely hidden within this palace.

However, only those recognized by the Carefree Wanderer could open this palace.

Neither Ye Lin’Er, Huang Yanran, Xiahou Lei, nor Wang Yang had been able to open the palace doors.

This indicated that they were not the chosen ones.

”Master, there’s a groove above the palace doors, your Purple Gold Token should be the key to unlocking it, quickly go and try,” the Tower Spirit couldn’t help but urge Ye Chen.

Since entering the palace complex, it had sensed the aura of the Outer Realm Demon Race growing increasingly intense.

Such a dense demon aura didn’t seem like it could emanate from just a Demon Core.

So, in this palace, it’s really likely that there exists a living Outer Realm Demon Race.

If Ye Chen accidentally encounters him, then the trouble will be huge.

”Hmm!” Ye Chen nodded, quickly taking out the Purple Gold Token from his body and inserting it into the groove.

Rumble.

The next moment, the incomparably heavy metal door made a deafening sound and automatically began to move open to the sides.

”What? Someone has opened the door of that palace. Could it be that he is the destined one?” In a corridor not far away, Lin Man’s delicate body suddenly trembled, her eyes filled with intense shock.

She naturally knew that the palace ahead was likely hiding the heritage of the Carefree Wanderer.

However, for so many days, no one had been able to open the door of this palace, so everyone had gradually given up hope.

But now, the door of that palace has actually been opened by someone.

This really caught Lin Man off guard.

”If that destined one’s strength is far inferior to mine, I might be able to seize the Carefree Wanderer’s heritage.” Lin Man’s eyes couldn’t help but flash with greed.

Although she generally didn’t like to provoke others,

the heritage of the Carefree Wanderer was simply too tempting for her.

If she could get hold of the Carefree Wanderer’s heritage, she would have a chance to become a True Disciple of the Azure Sky Immortal Sect.

So, for the sake of her future, what’s the harm in breaking an exception once?

Whoosh.

The next moment, Lin Man’s figure flashed and she swiftly flew towards the direction of the palace.

”Master, hurry up. After obtaining the Carefree Wanderer’s heritage, leave here as soon as possible.” At this moment, the soul body of the Tower Spirit floated out of Ye Chen’s body, his expression extremely serious.

”I know.” Ye Chen quickly retracted the Purple Gold Token and rushed into the palace at his fastest speed.

The palace in front of him was extremely spacious, with numerous towering White Jade Pillars, on which were carved images of Divine Beasts, similar to those in the Soul Hall.

And in the depths of the palace, there was a huge stone platform, on which a bronze coffin was placed, and no one knew whose body was inside.

”Such a dense demon aura.” The Tower Spirit couldn’t help but keep his eyes on that bronze coffin, speaking gravely.

He actually sensed an incomparably dense demon aura emanating from that coffin.

It was likely that only the corpses of Outer Realm Demons comparable to immortals could emit such dense demon aura.

”Tower Spirit, the demon aura you sensed earlier, could it have been emanating from this coffin?” Ye Chen couldn’t help but ask.

”Very likely.” The Tower Spirit replied.

”So, there’s simply no living Outer Realm Demons here, and I have nothing to worry about.” Ye Chen smiled slightly.

As far as he knew, the corpses and demon cores of Outer Realm Demons were capable of emitting demon aura.

So, the demon aura the Tower Spirit sensed earlier was most likely emanating from the demon corpse within the bronze coffin; this place simply didn’t have living Outer Realm Demons, Ye Chen had been scaring himself.

”It seems I was overthinking.” The Tower Spirit chuckled wryly.

”Oh? There’s also a skeleton next to the bronze coffin.” At this moment, Ye Chen’s pupils suddenly contracted, noticing a skeleton sitting cross-legged beside the bronze coffin.

This was an old man with white hair, long dead, yet his body hadn’t completely decayed.

Before his death, he maintained a hand seal posture as if he was sealing something.

Whoosh.

The next moment, Ye Chen’s figure flashed, appearing in front of the bronze coffin.

He found that there was also a groove on top of the bronze coffin, just the right size for the Purple Gold Token.

It seems the Carefree Wanderer’s heritage was stored within this coffin.

”Let’s collect this coffin first.” Ye Chen thought, intending to take the bronze coffin into the Human Emperor’s Space.

Buzz!

However, the next moment, he noticed a dazzling light emanating from the top of the coffin, preventing him from storing it in the Human Emperor’s Space.

”Master, it’s the power of an array. It seems you must first open this coffin to retrieve the treasures inside.” The Tower Spirit couldn’t help but remind Ye Chen.

”Hmm!” Ye Chen nodded, then placed the Purple Gold Token into the groove.

Crack, crack.

In an instant, a huge gap appeared on top of the coffin, and the entire lid opened up.

”This is... ” Ye Chen’s body trembled violently, staring into the coffin, frozen in place.

Just as Ye Chen opened the coffin, a graceful figure suddenly appeared in the palace—it was Lin Man.

”It’s that waste Ye Chen, how did he appear here?” Lin Man’s pupils contracted violently, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
