Chapter 1378: Chapter 1378: The Exposed Tower Keeper
Su Chengyu’s words were decisive and serious; he was well aware that to smoothly exit the Tower of Eternal Winter, he must win over the Tower Keeper standing before him.
As someone assigned by the Bei Luo Empire to suppress the Nether Clan in the Tower of Eternal Winter, even though he wasn’t an Earth Immortal, he surely possessed means to contend against one within the tower.
With the Tower Keeper’s help, coupled with the mother of You Ming, the two could possibly have a chance of survival.
Regarding the relationship between You Ming and the Demon Slayer Department, Su Chengyu did not pay too much attention; since the Demon Slayer Department dared to have them attempt to release You Ming’s mother here, they must have a method to constrain the other party.
If it was merely using You Ming to threaten and exploit the other side, Su Chengyu would even less mind sending such a huge trouble Yang Chengyin’s way.
Following another intense quaking of heaven and earth, Su Chengyu could feel the Prohibition of this place becoming increasingly precarious.
Looking up into the darkness, Su Chengyu spoke again, "Elder, our remaining time might not be much."
"Do you truly have the confidence to persuade that person to help you escape?"
The Tower Keeper hidden in the dark posed his final question.
"If, as the elder has said, she has not chosen to rejoin the Nether Clan after so many years, I presume she wouldn’t want to see her own flesh and blood perish in the Tower of Eternal Winter."
Bang!
As soon as Su Chengyu finished speaking, a rift in the fabric of heaven and earth was directly opened, and countless members of the Nether Clan surged through the Prohibition into this realm.
The leading blond woman, upon instantly recognizing both Su Chengyu and You Ming, realized she was played by the two; her face filled with anger as she swung the Long Whip at them.
You Ming stepped in front of the considerably drained Su Chengyu. However, how could You Ming alone possibly withstand a Nether Clan member in the Hollow Vacuum Late Stage?
"Overestimating yourself!"
The blond looked coldly at You Ming’s action, clearly dissatisfied with You Ming’s disdain toward herself.
Activating Nether Technique, the Long Whip surrounded by a purple halo of light, was about to tear through You Ming’s Protective Gang Qi and strike her.
"You Nether Clan, are you really so dismissive of me!"
Between heaven and earth, the voice of the Tower Keeper roared angrily.
The cage of the Tower of Eternal Winter was opened; after the Nether Clan united, a lone Tower Keeper indeed had no power to respond.
But what are these incoming Nether Clan beings now? Without any Land Immortals present, within the Tower of Eternal Winter, he, the Tower Keeper, has always been the suppressor of all Nether Clan!
The burly middle-aged man quickly positioned himself in front of the two, reaching out to grasp the speeding vine.
The purple light was dispersed in an instant; swayed by his right hand, he directly flung the blond woman to the ground along the whip.
The somewhat disheveled blond woman got up from the ground, her brows furrowed, as she looked at the Tower Keeper blocking in front of the two and said, "Bei Luo people, this matter has nothing to do with you; it’s better not to meddle!"
The Tower Keeper scoffed lightly, "You’ve all barged into my home, if I don’t intervene would you honestly leave quietly?"
The blond woman frowned and continued at the Tower Keeper blocking the two, "Hand these two over, and we will naturally leave, and not bother you."
"Either leave or die."
The Tower Keeper spoke with displeasure, as his previous actions had already been a concession.
If the Nether Clan were willing to exchange their freedom for the two prisoners, he wouldn’t hesitate and would have agreed immediately.
After all, cooperating with Su Chengyu was ultimately aimed at escaping from the Tower of Eternal Winter, rather than imprisoning himself here forever.
Who would have thought that the Nether Clan wouldn’t even entertain the idea?
At this moment, the blonde woman from the Nether Clan was also in great difficulty; how could she not see the intentions of the Tower Keeper?
However, the Nether Clan has strict rules, absolutely forbidding cooperation with any humans without the directive of the Red Robed High Priest, leaving her without the courage to negotiate directly with the keeper of the Tower of Eternal Winter.
A slight misstep could lead her to be brought before the tribunal, potentially ending up like that other guy.
"Old man, do you really think you can stop so many of us all by yourself?"
"Oh? Do you think my strength has waned since then?"
The blonde woman from the Nether Clan kept silent, knowing full well the strength of the Tower Keeper established prohibitions in this realm to seal the Nether Clan. If it were easy to eliminate him, why wouldn’t the Nether Clan inside the Tower of Eternal Winter have acted against him over the years?
Ultimately, it came down to lack of assurance and the high cost it would entail.
If external prohibitions hindered, she might feel confident in joining forces with the Nether Clan to confront the Tower Keeper, but for now...
Her gaze shifted, as Su Chengyu and a comrade, back to back, charged toward the common members of the Nether Clan.
Without her oversight, these opponents, at most Nascent Soul level, wouldn’t last more than a few exchanges against them.
You Ming understood the Nether Clan, and Su Chengyu’s Demon-slaying Sword was particularly effective against them, rendering these ordinary members powerless in their hands. Within moments, more than a dozen Nether Clan members had fallen to them.
The two were currently moving towards the exit, clearly trying to escape this place.
Boom!
A heavy punch landed squarely on the blonde Nether Clan woman, who, distracted by Su Chengyu and his comrade, hadn’t noticed the attack and was sent crashing into the ground.
The Tower Keeper looked down at the blonde Nether Clan member with dissatisfaction, whispering, "Facing me and yet your mind wanders elsewhere, do you truly think you are the Red Robed High Priest?"
The difference between a High Priest and a Red Robed High Priest might appear minimal, but in reality it is substantial.
Every member of the Nether Clan has a talent for cultivation, allowing many to ascend to High Priest at merely the Nascent Soul level.
Of course, like the blonde woman at the late Hollow Void stage, few reach that level, but even so, her capabilities pale in comparison to the Tower Keeper bolstered by the power of the Tower of Eternal Winter.
The former had barely touched the threshold of Earth Immortal, while the latter, with the tower’s enhancement, could even confront a Nether Clan Land Immortal.
His punches, like thunder, slammed into the ground, burying the blonde Nether Clan woman entirely out of sight.
Faced with the Tower Keeper’s assault, the blonde Nether Clan woman seemed utterly powerless, completely at his mercy.
"You kill me, and the Red Robed Lord will not spare you!"
Her anguished voice echoed across the space, striking fear into the hearts of the other Nether Clan members who truly hadn’t anticipated the incredible strength of their captor.
Hearing this, fury surged in the others: "Threatening me again? I’ve had enough of your threats today! Go to hell!"
