Chapter 4451
At that moment, there was no time for contemplation; the exit loomed right before them, and Cen Biqing and Old Black were becoming increasingly restless!
If they could just step outside, freedom would be theirs!
Kai took the lead, exiting the tower first. He paused to look back at Cen Biqing and Old Black, advising, “Take your time coming out. If you struggle, I’ll break the formation for you…”
Kai was well aware that not only were there restrictions on each floor, but there were also formidable formations surrounding the tower. Still, he wanted Cen Biqing and Old Black to give it a shot first!
The two nodded and carefully approached the exit!
However, just as they neared the threshold, a peculiar white light erupted, sending Cen Biqing and Old Black flying!
In an instant, a multitude of mysterious runes emerged around the tower, radiating an eerie power that enveloped the entire structure!
The four stone lions that stood guard around the tower seemed to come alive in that light, roaring with a deafening intensity!
Kai, witnessing this spectacle, was utterly bewildered; he hadn’t anticipated the strength of the forbidden formation outside the tower!
He lacked the courage to even attempt breaking the formation!
As the four stone lions roared, the entire tower was engulfed in light, gradually fading as if it were about to vanish!
Simultaneously, a terrifying and immense force surrounded Kai and the others, rendering them completely immobile!
Panic ensued among Kai and his companions!
Suddenly, beams of light shot from the mouths of the four stone lions, hurtling straight toward Kai and the others!
Unable to move, they were taken aback by the sudden onslaught of light, feeling utterly powerless against it!
Kai desperately tried to break through the oppressive force, but to no avail!
Just as Kai and the others braced for the worst, a figure emerged slowly!
This figure, clad in a Taoist robe with a flowing white beard, held a duster in hand!
With a gentle wave of his duster, the beams of light dissipated instantly!
“Master ……”
Lin Keting, who had been certain she was doomed, exclaimed in joy upon seeing the old Taoist!
Kai and the others were equally astonished as they gazed at the old man before them!
The power of the light that had just erupted from the stone lions was formidable!
Yet, they hadn’t expected this old Taoist to neutralize it so effortlessly!
Moreover, it was evident that he wasn’t even at his full strength!
“Ting’er, are you alright?” the old Taoist asked Lin Keting with genuine concern!
“Master, I’m fine!” Lin Keting replied, shaking her head!
“I miscalculated; I anticipated everything except for the appearance of this Demon Suppressing Pagoda here.”
“Fortunately, I arrived in time, or you would have perished. In the future, avoid venturing into unknown territories.”
The old Taoist admonished Lin Keting!
“Understood!” Lin Keting nodded obediently!
“Senior, what exactly is this Demon Suppressing Tower? Who is trapped inside?”
“Can you assist in rescuing the two individuals at the tower’s exit?”
Kai had a strong feeling that Lin Keting’s master was immensely powerful, so he made his request!
The old Taoist glanced at Kai and smiled slightly, saying, “This Demon Suppressing Pagoda holds the Dragons captive, and I have no ties with them. So why should I intervene?”
Kai was taken aback; he hadn’t anticipated that the tower was imprisoning all of the Dragon Race!
“Why are the Dragons being suppressed?” he asked, astonished!
“You’re asking too many questions. Why should I divulge anything to you? Who are you, anyway?”
“You’re not my disciple’s companion, so what reason do I have to assist you?”
The old Taoist regarded Kai with a teasing expression!
“Master ……” Lin Keting’s face flushed with embarrassment!
