Chapter 2197 - 2197 2187 The Way Out

2197: Chapter 2187: The Way Out 2197: Chapter 2187: The Way Out Long Yan looked at the three, no, three demons as they chattered back and forth, incessantly complaining about how long the Ice Girl had been crying.

Long Yan found these anthropomorphic actions strangely peculiar.

When he first arrived on the Sixth Layer, he hadn’t heard any monsters speak, but now here were four.

Seeing the odd expression on Long Yan’s face, the three demons all looked disparagingly at him with contempt in their eyes, as if mocking Long Yan for his lack of worldly experience.

Black lines appeared above Long Yan’s head; this wasn’t his fault at all.

Seriously, who could remain calm upon seeing a cat, an umbrella, and a bear talking?

If there was such a cultivator, Long Yan would genuinely like to meet them.

“Sorry for disturbing the True God.”

Ice Girl said to Long Yan, her eyes slightly reddened within the cubes of ice, which confused Long Yan about what to say.

“So, what is this about a treacherous lover they mentioned?”

Long Yan was genuinely curious.

In his view, the so-called treacherous lover mentioned by the Ice Girl could very well be some kind of demon, but getting to know more about the situation inside the Demon Suppressing Tower was beneficial.

“The True God may not know, in the Demon Suppressing Tower, few humans have ever come, but indeed, a hundred years ago, there was one who did come.”

Ice Girl slowly started speaking, her voice melodious and pleasant, though her words aroused further curiosity in Long Yan.

He had heard from Ouyang Zhen that within the records of the Heaven and Earth Gang, no one had ever made it to the Third Level, and even reaching the Second Level was rare.

But now, from Ice Girl’s words, Long Yan learned that someone had actually reached the Sixth Layer, which was indeed surprising.

It’s known that the history of the Heaven and Earth Gang spans at least three to four hundred years in this Star Domain, meaning even the current Ice Girl was almost five hundred years old.

However, Ice Girl showed no reaction to Long Yan’s surprise.

Nearly all demons possess long lifespans, which is quite normal for the Demon Race; like that one-eyed umbrella, it’s almost been around for one to two hundred years.

Ignoring Long Yan’s interruption, Ice Girl slowly started telling her own story.

Centuries ago, a human who was fleeing in panic had come to the Demon Suppressing Tower, and this human was greatly afraid.

Thus, this human inside the Demon Suppressing Tower asked Ice Girl if there was a way to escape the tower, and even during their time together, sparks of love had flown between them.

With her emotions in turmoil, Ice Girl, despite feeling reluctant, still told him the way to leave the Demon Suppressing Tower.

The man sweet-talked her, luring her with promises, even vowing that once he arranged everything after getting out, he would return to the tower and stay with her forever.

Without thinking too much, Ice Girl told the man the method to exit the Demon Suppressing Tower, and of course, he was delighted and promised he would definitely come back for her.

But a hundred years have passed, and since that man found the way to the next Level, he never returned.

Throughout these hundred years, there was no news from him, and no one else has reached this Sixth Layer.

Hearing Ice Girl’s slow narration, Long Yan’s heart stirred with waves of emotion.

Perhaps it was just that Ice Girl couldn’t bear to believe it, or even dared not think about it.

Within this Demon Suppressing Tower, there were countless difficulties; perhaps that man had already died long ago.

Although it was cruel, Long Yan still shared his thoughts with the Ice Girl in front of him, who then sank into silence.

She, too, had thought of such possibilities, but deep down, she preferred to think the man was a heartbreaker.

Perhaps one day, driven by a guilty conscience, he would come back to her, and they could be together forever.

But if he were dead, what would the hundreds of years of her waiting mean?

“However, is it still possible to get out of the Demon Suppressing Tower?”

Long Yan was curious.

Before his death, Chen Chen had not mentioned any way to leave the Demon Suppressing Tower to Long Yan.

Of course, there was definitely no reason for Chen Chen to forget; his Qi Deviation had led to his sealing himself in the Tower, signifying that there was no way out of the Demon Suppressing Tower, or else with the extent of his Qi Deviation, he would have escaped the tower and gone on a rampage long ago.

“The True God might not know, but there indeed exists a way out of the Demon Suppressing Tower,” Ice Girl explained, leaving Long Yan stunned.

It turned out that the original builder of the Demon Suppressing Tower was a Great Power of the Demon Race.

At that time, the Demon Race had not yet had any conflicts with humans, so that Great Power and humans crafted an agreement, the peaceful pact between humans and the Demon Race, where the Demon Race selected their own territory and humans were not allowed to intrude into the Demon Race’s territory.

As to how much sincerity this treaty held at the end, Long Yan didn’t know.

After all, becoming a demon in the Demon Race isn’t innate, and the Demon Locking Tower is the result of cooperation between the Demon Race and humans.

Until the very end, humans even founded a specific Sect to gather demons from all over the world into the Demon Suppressing Tower.

Regarding this specific Sect, it has evolved into the present-day Five Elements Sect, which is the predecessor of the Five Elements Sect.

The Demon Suppressing Tower initially made it easy for disciples of the Five Elements Sect to come and go, simply setting The Prohibition to only allow humans in and out.

Of course, when almost all the monsters were cleared out, the Demon Suppressing Tower was eventually abandoned.

As the monsters in the Star Domain started to wreak havoc again, the Five Elements Sect had almost forgotten these affairs.

Hence, it has been conveyed until now, that one can enter the Demon Suppressing Tower but cannot exit, until later on Feng Tianlu created the Teleportation Array.

As for the method to leave the Demon Suppressing Tower, it is quite simple.

It’s in the last layer, that is, using the power of the Demon-Sealed Sword in the Ninth Layer to escape from the Demon Suppressing Tower.

Long Yan has never been someone who relies on others for rescue, so he plans to get out of the Demon Suppressing Tower himself, but his words made Ice Girl show a face of fear.

Because within the deepest levels of the Demon Suppressing Tower, there exists a frightening being.

Where there are humans, there will be conflicts, and this statement applies to the Demon Race as well.

When everyone must stay inside the Demon Suppressing Tower, someone has to emerge as the strongest, and the Blood Demon Emperor has been the strongest from the beginning until now.

All the monsters here are very afraid of him; all the creatures in the Demon Suppressing Tower are terribly afraid of him.

Thus, the Blood Demon Emperor is the Boss in the Demon Suppressing Tower, always residing in the lowest layer.

He has driven out the surrounding demons to other levels, and experiencing that kind of terror once is enough.

From Ice Girl’s terrified expression, Long Yan became somewhat enlightened.

Although the last three layers are interconnected, no one has ever dared to wrestle with the Blood Demon Emperor, as his terror has indeed penetrated deep into the hearts.

Of course, Long Yan wouldn’t sit still and wait for death; he was determined to reach the last layer, for waiting for someone’s rescue was uncertain and could take indefinitely long.
