Chapter 2565: Chapter 2585: Greed is the Original Sin

Black Wind Valley, where gales howl and dark fog enshrouds everything in a gloomy and horrifying atmosphere, as if a vision of Hell itself.

A streak of golden light tore through the sky, arriving in an instant, and then hovered midair.

Deputy City Lord of Black Tower City, Zhao Shanshui.

The only middle-grade Great Luo True Immortal of Black Tower City, the strongest person beneath the City Lord.

"Qian Bin!"

Zhao Shanshui’s voice boomed like thunder from the Nine Heavens, echoing throughout Black Wind Valley and spreading far into the distance.

Enchanting Heart Daoist emerged from a dark valley, rising to the sky and calling out, "Martial Uncle, over here!"

Zhao Shanshui flew over, directly asking, "Where’s the Tower?"

"Right below us..."

Enchanting Heart Daoist explained, "There’s a gateway to the Tower, but I can’t enter, so I contacted Martial Uncle."

Zhao Shanshui eyed Enchanting Heart Daoist, "Why not contact your Master?"

Enchanting Heart Daoist chuckled, "Master is very busy, after all. Last time I was in trouble, it was Martial Uncle who gave me a big hand. Naturally, with good fortune at hand, I thought of Martial Uncle first."

Zhao Shanshui pointed at Enchanting Heart Daoist and said, "You, with your little tricks..."

Zhao Shanshui’s words seemed reproachful, but his eyes were filled with satisfaction.

The kid knows his place!

"Come on, let’s have a look. Don’t worry, if there’s a discovery, Martial Uncle won’t shortchange you."

Enchanting Heart Daoist grinned, "After you, Martial Uncle, please!"

The two descended from the sky, landing in a deep valley, then found an ancient-looking high tower below a cliff.

The high tower was adorned with flickering radiance, ghostly and faint, appearing ancient and mysterious.

Zhao Shanshui expressed his surprise, "Black Wind Valley is secluded; nothing here but mountains and soil, shrouded in darkness, no one ever bothers to venture here. Yet beneath it all lies a Tower that seems to have stood here for ages..."

Enchanting Heart Daoist agreed, "Yes, I was stunned when I first saw it. I wanted to go in and explore, but I couldn’t break the Barrier at the entrance..."

Zhao Shanshui circled the ancient Tower once before landing at the gateway, his eyes gleaming.

"You couldn’t open it? Any reaction at all?"

Enchanting Heart Daoist shook his head, "I tried everything, no response."

Zhao Shanshui pondered for a bit, then said, "Let me give it a try."

Zhao Shanshui stood in front of the Barrier, extended his finger, and slowly pressed it against the Barrier, indeed feeling the repelling force of the Barrier.

Spiritual power surged out from the Sea of Knowledge within Zhao Shanshui, the energy gathering at his fingertip growing more intense, and the Barrier seemed unable to hold up, slowly indenting inwards.

Enchanting Heart Daoist said excitedly, "Looks like it can be broken!"

Zhao Shanshui, too, was quite eager and increased his Strength once more.

"Bang!"

The Barrier shattered, turning into countless Light Points that disappeared into midair.

Zhao Shanshui’s eyes brightened, but he didn’t rush in. Instead, he pushed the door open slightly, on guard.

The Tower was Silent and Traceless, quiet and still, no movement at all.

Zhao Shanshui turned to Enchanting Heart Daoist, "The Barrier’s open, you go and try."

Enchanting Heart Daoist said excitedly, "Me?"

Zhao Shanshui nodded, "Yes, you go in and take a look, I’ll keep watch for you."

Keep watch?

You’re sending me in to adventure into death, aren’t you?

Enchanting Heart Daoist sneered inwardly, but outwardly he acted quite thrilled, striding quickly through the gate, his figure then vanishing inside.

No sooner had Enchanting Heart Daoist left than the entire ancient Tower began to emit a faint Golden Light, which was rapidly intensifying.

Zhao Shanshui’s gaze flickered uncertainly; he was getting restless.

Could this Kid have stumbled upon some opportunity?

Is he hogging it all for himself?

Zhao Shanshui understood the nature of his peers all too well. If there was any advantage to be had, Qian Bin would definitely not report to him at once, unless he couldn’t handle it alone, like when he found this Tower but couldn’t get in.

If he could’ve entered on his own, he certainly wouldn’t have told Zhao Shanshui. Likewise, if there was a good opportunity inside the Tower, he surely wouldn’t come out just to tell him; instead, he would first take the advantage for himself.

The Golden Light grew stronger, and the whole Tower began to tremble as if it were about to burst forth from the ground.

Wait, is this Kid subduing the ancient Tower?

Unable to hold back any longer, Zhao Shanshui flashed to the entrance and then stepped in, fearing that he was too late and that Qian Bin had succeeded in subduing it.

Zhao Shanshui’s vision blurred, and instead of the murky Black Wind Valley, he was now surrounded by bright mountains and steep ridges.

Zhao Shanshui’s heart raced, his eyes revealing undisguised greed.

The Tower World!

This Tower actually contained its own world!

This had to be at least an Innate Spiritual Treasure!

Where was Qian Bin?

Where was that Kid hiding, possibly gaining an opportunity, subduing the ancient Tower?

Thinking of this possibility, Zhao Shanshui grew anxious and rose to the sky.

Such a Magical Treasure, how could he let it fall into the hands of that Kid Qian Bin?

If this fellow doesn’t know his place, I wouldn’t mind killing him!

This Tower must be mine!

As Zhao Shanshui’s body soared, the towering mountain peaks on both sides suddenly tilted steeply and crashed down towards him.
