"Nine...nine...nine-tailed fox?!"
"You...you are the Silver-browed Fox Demon?!"
A group of monsters, their faces filled with shock, staggered backward in fright.
Nine-tailed foxes exist in many fantasy or mythological worlds.
The world of Chinese Paladin is no exception!
During the time of Sword and Fairy 3, there was a nine-tailed fox who had cultivated for thousands of years. It was subdued by the Shu Mountain sect and sealed in the Demon Locking Tower.
Later, the seal on the Demon-Sealing Tower was broken, and the nine-tailed fox took the opportunity to escape.
And this nine-tailed fox is the Silver-browed Demon Fox.
Back then, the Silver-browed Fox Demon was known for its fearsome nature in the Demon-Locking Tower.
Although these monsters were later imprisoned in the Demon Locking Tower, they had heard of the Silver-browed Fox's fearsome reputation.
That's why they mistook Xiaobai for the Silver-Eyebrowed Fox Demon.
"What? You still want to eat my flesh?"
Xiao Bai transformed back into human form, staring at the group of monsters before him with a half-smile.
"No, no..."
A group of monsters shook their heads in fright, trembling all over.
Some clever monsters, their eyes darting around, quietly shrank back behind the other monsters, trying to slip away.
Unfortunately, before these monsters could get very far, several sharp beams of light shot out from Li Yao's eyes, striking the monsters and instantly causing them to be annihilated.
"Anyone who dares to run again will suffer this fate!"
Li Yao snorted coldly.
A group of monsters were so frightened that they trembled all over and stood still, not daring to move an inch.
Li Yao glanced coldly at the demons before him and asked, "Are there only demons like you on this level?"
"Your Majesty, you are right. All the monsters on this level are here. Most of the monsters were dissolved by the Demon-Dissolving Water, and some powerful monsters went to the next level."
A wolf demon boldly stepped forward and answered.
Why don't you go down to the next floor?
Li Yao asked curiously.
"The Demon Transformation Pool is located at the very bottom of the Demon Locking Tower, so the lower you go, the more potent the Demon Transformation Water becomes, and the faster you die!"
The wolf demon explained.
"Then why would any monster risk going to the next level?"
Li Yao became even more puzzled.
"Your Majesty may not know this, but there is a legend that has been passed down in this Demon-Sealing Tower."
"It is said that the bottom of the Demon Locking Tower is connected to the Demon Realm. As long as you can reach the bottom, you can escape from this hellish place and escape to the Demon Realm."
"So everyone risked their lives to break down!"
The wolf demon quickly explained.
"Does the base of the tower connect to the demon realm?"
Li Yao frowned.
He had never heard of this situation before.
He knew that the bottom of the Demon-Locking Tower led to the Well of Gods and Demons, but he had never heard that the top of the tower led to the Demon Realm.
Do you remember back in the Legend of Sword and Fairy 3 era, the Heavenly Demon Emperor was suppressed at the bottom of the Demon Locking Tower?
If the bottom of the tower really leads to the demon realm, then isn't the Shu Mountain Sect afraid that the Heavenly Demon Emperor will escape to the demon realm?
You must know that the Heavenly Demon Emperor is the mortal enemy of the Shu Mountain Sect!
There must be something fishy going on here!
"Could it be..."
Suddenly, Li Yao's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something.
Chapter 516 The Contemplative Ghost
"Husband, have you thought of something?"
Xiao Bai saw Li Yao's eyes light up and quickly asked.
"yes!"
Li Yao nodded and said, "Do you remember I once told you that there is an inner Shu Mountain inside this Shu Mountain?"
Xiao Bai's eyes lit up: "It's that largest demon realm?"
"good!"
Li Yao nodded.
In fact, there are many demon realms in the world of Chinese Paladin.
For example, the Illusionary Realm in Chinese Paladin 4.
There's also the Li Shu Mountain from the Legend of Sword and Fairy 3 Prequel.
Although there are many demon realms in the world of Chinese Paladin, distributed in different locations, none are as large as Mount Li Shu.
Li Shushan is located in the center of Shushan and has a certain prestige among the demons.
Lishu Mountain is the connection point of the earth's veins. Through the earth's veins, one can reach the human world and Lishu Mountain.
Li Yao was certainly aware of all these circumstances.
He just didn't expect that the bottom of the Demon Locking Tower could lead to the Inner Shu Mountain.
However, even if the bottom of the tower leads to Lishu Mountain, this passage must have been sealed off.
Otherwise, the Heavenly Demon Emperor would have already fled into the Li Shu Mountain.
At the same time, Li Yao realized something.
Before they entered the Demon Locking Tower, Dugu Yuyun had already agreed to let them enter.
However, when he said that he wanted to enter the Demon Realm through the Well of Gods and Demons, Dugu Yuyun's expression immediately changed drastically, and he repeatedly tried to dissuade him from entering the Demon Locking Tower.
In fact, Dugu Yuyun even offered to personally lead him into the Well of Gods and Demons.
At that time, Li Yao felt that Dugu Yuyun was a bit strange.
Looking back now, it must have been because Dugu Yuyun was worried that Li Yao would discover that there was an inner Shushan within Shushan.
Li Shu Mountain is the largest demon realm. If outsiders were to find out that there is a demon realm hidden inside Shu Mountain, it would surely cause a huge uproar.
Therefore, before Li Yao entered the Demon Locking Tower, Dugu Yuyun solemnly requested that Li Yao not reveal anything he saw inside the tower.
Therefore, it can be inferred that the entrance to the Well of Gods and Demons and the entrance to Lishu Mountain are very likely the same entrance.
With this in mind, Li Yao had already made up his mind.
He asked the wolf demon how to enter the next level, then said to Little White, "Little White, let's go!"
After saying this, they abandoned the monsters and wandered around the maze-like passageways for a while.
After walking for a short while, they arrived at a stone chamber, which was the central location of the eighth floor and also the passage from the eighth floor to the seventh floor.
Five huge stones are placed in the stone chamber, with ancient seal script carved on them. There are five colors in total, namely water, fire, earth, wind and thunder.
Following the instructions given by the wolf demon, Li Yao moved the five-colored boulders to their respective positions corresponding to the five elements.
Then, he and Xiaobai stood in the center.
The next moment, five dazzling beams of light shot out from the boulder and shone on them.
The blinding light made their vision blur.
Soon, they found themselves in another place.
"This should be the seventh floor of the Demon-Sealing Tower!"
Li Yao surveyed his surroundings.
Like the eighth floor, there are waterways in the walls, filled with demon-transforming water that flows continuously, and ominous mist rises constantly.
Li Yao turned his gaze to Xiao Bai beside him and asked with concern, "The Demon-Sealing Tower is full of demon-transforming water. Were you affected?"
After all, Xiaobai is also a fairy.
"It has some impact!"
Xiao Bai nodded slightly, her face turning slightly pale.
"If you can't stand it, you can go into the space to take shelter first!"
Li Yao offered a reminder.
"No need, this little impact won't harm me at all."
Xiaobai shook his head.
"Okay, if you're really feeling unwell, you must tell me!"
Li Yao knew that with Xiao Bai's cultivation level, the mere Demon Transformation Water should be no match for her.
However, he still solemnly reminded Xiaobai of something.
Unlike the labyrinthine passageways of the eighth floor, the seventh floor is like a vast stone hall with almost no passageways, offering a very open view.
In the center of the stone hall, there is a huge pool filled with demon-transforming water.
In the pool, there are many stone platforms made of diamond white jade.
The stone platforms varied in size, with some large enough to accommodate hundreds of people and others small enough for only one person to stand on. They were connected to each other by iron chains.
