Chapter 155 Demon Suppression Tower
Chapter 155 Demon Suppression Tower
At that moment, Yang Huanying, who was focused on packing her luggage inside Huanhuan Barbecue Restaurant, was completely unaware that the three of them had been exposed.
Not long after, Yang Huanying finished packing all her luggage, she slowly walked down the stairs to the shop on the first floor.
Just then, Xu Ting strode forward to meet her. He first glanced thoughtfully at the bulging package on Yang Huanying's back.
Then, with a look of suspicion, he asked, "Welcome! Judging from your appearance, are you preparing for a long trip? Why are you carrying such a big bag?"
After saying that, Xu Jieting paused for a moment, then added enthusiastically, "If you need someone to see you off, don't forget me!"
Almost at the same time, Wu Gang, who had just successfully shaken off the FBI, also stepped into the store.
As soon as he entered the room, he overheard the conversation between Xu Ting and Yang Huanying. Intrigued, he quickly went over to them.
"Of course! Welcome, sis! Where are you planning to go?"
"How about we two escort you to your destination?"
"You must understand, those Netherworld Demons have only just retreated. No one knows what ulterior motives they have for coming here this time!"
As Wu Gang spoke, a worried look appeared on his face. "I'm a little worried about you going out alone."
However, faced with their earnest persuasion, Yang Huanying simply shook her head and said solemnly, "Oh dear! Please stop trying to persuade me!"
"The fact that the Netherworld Demon suddenly appeared this time, yet I failed to detect any clues beforehand, is a serious dereliction of duty for a cultivator of secret arts."
"So no matter what, I have to go and investigate the alarm system myself to see if there is a problem."
"This is also a good opportunity to investigate the situation of the artifacts guarded by generations of esoteric practitioners," Yang Huanying slowly revealed her purpose.
Then she turned her head and looked at Wu Gang and the other man, smiling as she said, "As for you two gentlemen, I'll have to trouble you to watch over this little shop for me!"
"Although I'll only be gone for a few days, you should still keep an eye on the Netherworld Demon's movements. It's best to act together to avoid being ambushed by the Netherworld Demon!"
After saying these words, Yang Huanying paused for a moment, as if she wanted to say something more, but ultimately decided to stop there.
She simply raised her hand and waved gracefully at Wu Gang and the other man, then turned around without hesitation and walked straight out of the shop with light and firm steps.
Sunlight streamed through the crack in the door, casting a long shadow on her figure.
As she walked further and further away, the shadow gradually shortened until it disappeared, leaving Wu Gang and Yang Huanying staring at each other, silently praying that Yang Huanying's journey would be smooth and that she would return safely.
.................................................. ..
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's already the second day since Yang Huanying set off from the barbecue restaurant.
It was midday, the sun was blazing, and the heat was unbearable.
After a simple lunch and a short rest, Yang Huanying continued on her way without stopping.
After a long journey, she finally arrived at the edge of a secluded mountain area in New York State.
This mountainous area is rugged, with rolling hills and dense vegetation concealing the winding mountain roads, giving it a mysterious and unpredictable feel.
Yang Huanying walked along the rugged path with difficulty, and soon became panting and sweating profusely.
She stopped, gently wiping the large beads of sweat from her forehead. After looking around, she muttered to herself, "Hmm... this should be it. It was really hard to find!"
After saying that, Yang Huanying took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and then bit her finger without hesitation.
In an instant, crimson blood gushed out. She quickly used the strange energy within her body to gather the flowing blood and skillfully drew a mysterious and complex symbol in the air.
As Yang Huanying moved, the bright red blood seemed to come alive, shimmering with strange light in the air and gradually outlining a stunning pattern.
The whole process lasted for a while. When Yang Huanying finished the last stroke, a powerful surge of strange energy suddenly appeared in front of her.
This energy fluctuation, like a surging wave, spread in all directions with overwhelming force.
In the blink of an eye, Yang Huanying's figure suddenly vanished from the spot.
When Yang Huanying opened her eyes again, she was met with a blinding light.
She squinted instinctively, and only slowly opened her eyes after her eyes had adjusted to the bright light.
The sight that came into view left her speechless—a towering, ancient tower stood majestically before her.
The tower is made entirely of bluish-gray megaliths, and its body is covered with mottled marks left by time and strangely shaped reliefs.
The spire pierces the clouds, as if trying to break through the sky.
Looking up, its majestic and magnificent presence inspires awe.
Yang Huanying gazed at the towering structure before her, inwardly marveling, "It truly is incredibly magical! Even though I've been here many times, I'm still awestruck every time I see it."
This towering, magnificent pagoda is the place that generations of hermits have silently guarded and protected.
It is also the core of the Netherworld Demon Sensing System—the Demon Suppression Tower!
Not long after, Yang Huanying hurriedly arrived at the gate of the Demon Suppression Tower.
Without hesitation, she reached out and gently pushed the heavy door open, as if to welcome her.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Huanying strode into the room.
Upon entering the Demon Suppression Tower, Yang Huanying did not delay at all and headed straight for the center of the tower.
There stood an enormous bronze bell, exuding an ancient and solemn aura.
Yang Huanying stopped in front of the copper bell, staring intently at the enormous object before her.
After a careful search and observation, Yang Huanying finally made a discovery: a tiny gap had appeared in one of the runes on the copper bell.
"It seems that this is the crux of the problem that caused the entire sensing system to malfunction."
Thinking of this, Yang Huanying dared not be negligent in the slightest and immediately mobilized the alien energy in her body, continuously gathering it between her hands.
Then, she carefully placed her hands into the gap, and the alien energy slowly flowed into her palms.
As time ticked by, Yang Huanying remained completely focused on controlling the output of the alien energy.
Finally, after some time, the gap was successfully filled and restored to its original state.
Yang Huanying then slowly withdrew her alien energy and exhaled a deep breath.
"It's finally done. Hopefully, it can last a little longer this time."
