Chapter 511: Approaching Danger

Three days later, several restriction lights of different colors appeared around the Stationing Tower, making this black tower look even more imposing!

Zhang Nuo sat inside the tower; although he had set up many restrictions, he would not be naive enough to think these restrictions could stop those mysterious things! He continuously searched the tower with his Divine Sense, wanting to find a clue, but in the end, he gained nothing!

Thinking and thinking, Zhang Nuo gave a bitter smile; he was truly unlucky. Having just arrived in the Immortal World, he encountered such a thing. Perhaps he should have chosen a faction to attach himself to back then!

Ling Hua and the others gathered together, looking at Zhang Nuo's worried expression, and felt very uncertain in their hearts! Along the way, they had witnessed Zhang Nuo's supernatural powers; since even Zhang Nuo had no solution, they, mere cultivators at the Nascent Soul Stage, had even fewer countermeasures!

Half a month later, there was still no movement outside the Stationing Tower. Everything was very calm; one could not even see a single low-level demonic beast! Ling Hua relaxed a little in his heart; as long as it could remain this quiet, it would be fine. Once the cultivators from Gongyue City arrived, they would not need to be so careful with more people around!

However, Zhang Nuo did not think so! The quieter it was, the more he felt something was strange! Perhaps this was the calm before the storm!

Thousands of miles away from the Stationing Tower, on the edge of the "Nine Lives Desert," two figures were gazing toward the direction of the black tower!

One of these two wore a gray-black robe, his head was hairless, and only a few small horns the thickness of a finger grew sparsely on top; the other had a piece of animal skin wrapped around his lower body, revealing skin the color of bronze all over his body! His pair of eyes were filled with a tyrannical aura. "Fellow Daoist Zhan Luo, it seems the cultivators in the tower this time are prepared!"

The bronze-skinned cultivator looked at the distant Stationing Tower and said with disdain on his face! The man in the gray-black robe heard this, reached out, and touched the few short horns on his head, saying:

"Sigh! I hope we don't alert the enemy! Otherwise, that guy will definitely skin us alive!"

The cultivator named Zhan Luo still had lingering fears, and a ray of light flashed across the horns on his head!

"Oh, right! Fellow Daoist Tu Zhen, we didn't leave any clues last time, did we?"

As if he had suddenly remembered something, Zhan Luo asked hurriedly.

"Rest assured, Fellow Daoist! With the supernatural powers of the two of us, could we possibly leave any traces behind? You can be completely at ease! It's just that last time, that human female cultivator in the tower was a top-tier one! If it weren't for having important matters at hand, I would have really liked to keep her by my side to enjoy for a long time!"

After a burst of sinister laughter, the guy wearing animal skin named Tu Zhen smacked his lips, as if he were savoring the memory!

Zhan Luo looked at his lecherous appearance, rolled his eyes at him, and then remained silent! Both of them were demonic beasts in the Transformation Stage, and in terms of cultivation, they had the strength of the Integration Late Stage! Especially Tu Zhen, who was bloodthirsty by nature; he would kill any human cultivator he met, and he was especially fond of human women.

Previously, he had seven concubines, all of whom were human women, but as time passed and he lost interest in them, they all met their doom at his hands!

Behind the two, in the "Nine Lives Desert," a gust of wind blew, and the sand dunes surged several times in the gale, miraculously changing positions. If someone new to this place entered the desert, they would surely get lost due to the changing scenery!

However, these two were not afraid; their figures flashed and they disappeared into the gale, vanishing without a trace in the blink of an eye!

Zhang Nuo stood on the top floor of the Stationing Tower, watching the distant sky turn a yellowish color, knowing that a storm had started inside the "Nine Lives Desert"!

Regarding the legends of the "Nine Lives Desert," Zhang Nuo had heard Ling Hua tell him quite a bit during this time! It was even said that cultivators at the Integration Late Stage had fallen inside! Some cultivators who came to the Wilderness for training dared not set foot there at all!

Frowning, Zhang Nuo was truly feeling depressed about being trapped in the Stationing Tower these days! He had originally wanted to train here, but in the end, he got such a result! Counting on his fingers, it had been five months since he received the Sound Transmission Talisman from Gongyue City, yet there was no reaction from the city at all! He really didn't know what that guy Kong Mu was thinking!

At this moment, Han Feiyi walked behind Zhang Nuo, a hint of worry in her clear eyes!

"Senior! Can we safely return to Gongyue City?"

Zhang Nuo did not even turn his head, gazing at the sky full of yellow sand in the distance, and just let out a light sigh! Although he did not speak, Han Feiyi knew the answer! Her heart became even more uneasy!

Suddenly, at this very moment, a scream came from the first floor of the Stationing Tower; the voice sounded like Zuoshi Kuo's! Zhang Nuo and Han Feiyi both had their expressions change drastically!

With a flicker of his figure, Zhang Nuo disappeared from where he stood, and the next moment, he appeared directly at the staircase between the first and second floors! He saw a cultivator wearing a gray-black robe pulling a bloody hand out of Zuoshi Kuo's chest!

Zhang Nuo was shocked! Just before this happened, the restrictions outside the tower had not fluctuated at all, so where did this mysterious guy come from? Could it be that he, like Xuan Jin, could ignore all Restriction Arrays?

Before Zhang Nuo's thoughts could settle, a green light flashed out from Zuoshi Kuo's corpse; it was none other than his Nascent Soul! But the green light transformed by the Nascent Soul had not even flown half a zhang away when the gray-black robed cultivator moved his figure strangely toward the Nascent Soul, directly blocking its path of retreat!

"Senior! Save me!"

The Nascent Soul let out a cry for help from its small mouth in terror, hoping that Zhang Nuo would intervene! But following his words, a ruthless large hand grabbed him, and with a loud boom, the Nascent Soul turned into a sky full of blood rain and vanished into thin air!

Zhang Nuo saw all of this; it was not that he did not want to save Zuoshi Kuo's Nascent Soul, but the opponent acted too quickly and gave him no chance at all. After seeing the cultivation level of the gray-black robed cultivator clearly, a chill he had never felt before rose in his heart! Integration Late Stage! A full major realm higher than Zhang Nuo!

This was the first time Zhang Nuo had encountered such a terrifying opponent since entering the Immortal World!

"Senior? Hehe, to think someone dares to call themselves a senior in front of me!"

The person speaking was none other than Zhan Luo, who had appeared on the edge of the "Nine Lives Desert"! The small horns on his head kept flashing with spiritual light, and the words from his mouth seemed to come from the Nine Netherworlds, making Zhang Nuo shiver uncontrollably!

Judging from the Spirit Power fluctuations emanating from Zhan Luo, he must be a demonic cultivator in the Transformation Stage! Because of this, Zhang Nuo dared not act rashly!

Within the same realm, demonic cultivators were inherently stronger than human cultivators, not to mention that the opponent was much higher than him! Even if he attacked, he would not gain any advantage!

"May I ask this Senior! Why did you attack my team member? We..."

Zhang Nuo wanted to continue, but Zhan Luo opened his large mouth and suddenly let out a long howl, shaking the entire black tower!

"Do I need to ask for permission from a little thing like you to kill whoever I want? It seems you are the leader here; I'll take you down first!"

Zhan Luo moved, locked onto Zhang Nuo, and charged straight at him with his arms spread! Zhang Nuo gritted his teeth slightly, and knowing he was no match, he still sacrificed several Flying Swords!

Zhan Luo did not even look at Zhang Nuo's Flying Swords; a layer of pale green light rose on his body, letting the Flying Swords strike him! The sound of 'clanging' was incessant; as soon as Zhang Nuo's Flying Swords touched the green light on Zhan Luo, they were immediately deflected. Let alone killing him, even getting close was difficult!

Gasping, Zhang Nuo turned his body to dodge Zhan Luo's attack. With a movement of his Divine Sense, nine of the many Flying Swords charged toward Zhan Luo. At the same time, spiritual light flashed, sword Qi erupted, and in an instant, a white lotus flower wrapped Zhan Luo inside!

After reaching the Spirit Severing Stage, the speed at which Zhang Nuo executed the "Lotus Fall" Sword Formation was several times faster! Looking at the Sword Formation formed by the surrounding Flying Swords, Zhan Luo curled his lips, not taking the Sword Formation seriously at all! His body suddenly shook, and the green light on his body grew a bit more; this force of vibration directly shattered the "Lotus Fall" Sword Formation!

The nine Flying Swords flew backward simultaneously, stopping in mid-air with dim spiritual light! Just at this moment, another scream came from the third floor of the tower! The voice sounded like Ling Hua's!

Seeing that the opponent had powerful cultivation and that even the Sword Formation could not bind him, and it appeared he was not alone, Zhang Nuo's figure flashed out of the tower door. When he arrived outside, he saw a large man wearing animal skin, holding a woman under his arm, looking at him triumphantly!

Upon seeing the captured woman, it was indeed Han Feiyi! However, Zhang Nuo did not want to play the hero saving the beauty at this moment; the guy who came out of the third floor was also a demonic cultivator, and his cultivation level was the same as the guy on the first floor!

Two Integration Late Stage demonic cultivators—with this kind of strength, let alone Zhang Nuo, even if Kong Mu came in person, he would absolutely not dare to face them head-on!

'Boom!'

Just at the moment Zhang Nuo hesitated, a large hole was blasted into the stone wall of the first floor of the black tower, and then a figure flashed out; it was Zhan Luo!

"Fellow Daoist Tu Zhen, it seems you have gained quite a bit this time!"

Zhan Luo looked up at Tu Zhen on the third floor, but his face wore a look of disdain!

"Hehe! That goes without saying! I don't want to let a single human female cultivator go!"

Seeing that evil smile on his face, Zhang Nuo felt like vomiting!

"Human brat! If you don't want to suffer more, just surrender and wait for death!"

Having easily shattered Zhang Nuo's Sword Formation, Zhan Luo raised his head arrogantly, as if Zhang Nuo's life was already in his palm, and it was just a matter of when to take it!

Zhang Nuo's expression was gloomy; letting him wait here for death was impossible! However, facing two big guys at the Integration Stage, he had no confidence in whether he could escape!
