Chapter 4435
Upon witnessing the scene before him, Kai’s brows immediately knitted together in concern!
The expressions of everyone around him also turned serious; it was clear that the pagoda did not resemble a treasure but rather appeared to be a structure designed to contain evil spirits!
When Kai’s gaze fell upon the runes etched into the four stone lions, he felt an involuntary shiver run through his body. To his astonishment, even the Da Luo Golden Code within his sea of consciousness began to tremble faintly!
Kai was taken aback, unable to comprehend why the Great Luo Golden Dictionary in his sea of consciousness was reacting this way.
He had always known that his Great Luo Golden Dictionary was a constant presence in his sea of consciousness, remaining still unless a lingering soul attempted to invade, which would trigger its activation!
Kai scrutinized the runes carefully but found that he did not recognize any of them.
“These are Heavenly Exalted Runes; it seems that whatever this pagoda is suppressing is quite formidable,”
the Red Cloud Demon Lord remarked.
“What exactly are Heavenly Exalted Runes? Is that Heavenly Sovereign more powerful than you?”
Kai asked with curiosity.
The Red Cloud Demon Monarch shot him a look of exasperation and replied, “Don’t ask such foolish questions in the future. Comparing me to the Heavenly Father is pointless; no one would even consider me.”
“I suggest you stop attacking this tower and leave quickly!”
However, upon hearing this, Kai’s interest in the tower only intensified!
“Kai, I fear that there is a very strong entity within this tower,”
Lin Ke Ting said, her face etched with concern as she clutched the life-preserving jade pendant in her hand. At that moment, the pendant began to emit a soft glow.
This glow indicated a response to extreme danger, something that had only occurred previously when Lin Ke Ting was bound and unable to move. The fact that it was lighting up now suggested that their current predicament was even more perilous.
Kai’s expression darkened as he furrowed his brows; could there truly be a terrifying presence within this tower?
This was merely a small Celestial Realm—could the God-Devil War have involved such formidable beings here?
Kai felt torn, yet the curiosity within him grew stronger!
Curiosity can be dangerous…
The atmosphere among the others was similarly tense and wary!
“Thunder Beast, what do you believe is inside this tower? What are your intentions in bringing us here?”
Lin Ke Ting suddenly turned to the Thunder Beast and inquired.
Given that the Thunder Beast was aware of the pagoda’s existence and the barrier surrounding it, it indicated that he had likely been here before and may possess some knowledge!
“Fellow Daoist, I truly don’t know what lies inside this pagoda. I admit I’ve been here, but I’ve never ventured close,”
the Thunder Beast rushed to clarify.
“I haven’t entered either; with my current strength, I wouldn’t dare go inside…”
he continued, anxious to explain himself.
“He hasn’t entered!” Kai interjected.
He understood that with the Thunder Beast’s power, he wouldn’t want to approach the tower—just those four stone lions would likely deter many cultivators!
“So what do we do? Do we leave, or do we venture inside?”
Lin Ke Ting asked, uncertainty clear in her voice.
Kai found himself in a difficult position as well!
If they entered, danger awaited them!
If they stayed back, their curiosity might consume them!
After a moment of deliberation, Kai turned to Ji Yun and Zhu Qingxiu, stating, “I’ll go in alone; you all wait for me outside. If anything goes awry, you must run immediately!”
Kai did not want Ji Yun and the others to accompany him and risk their lives; after all, no one could predict what awaited them inside!
“Mr. Chen, I cannot allow you to face this danger alone. I’m coming with you!”
Ji Yun declared resolutely.
“I’m going too; if we must face death, then so be it!” Zhu Qingxiu insisted, eager to accompany him.
“I’ll join as well; remember, I’m stronger than you all here,”
Lin Ke Ting added, determined to follow.
At this juncture, everyone turned their gaze toward the Thunder Beast.
“Don’t look at me! I brought you here, so naturally, I must go in as well; I wouldn’t want my efforts to be in vain!”
The Thunder Beast quickly asserted his position!
