Wang Yu

Chapter 1058: Imprisonment Tower

"Leave this to me, Fellow Daoist Shi, go help Immortal Su and the others." A figure flew over, landing beside Han Li. It was Valley Master Fu, who placed both hands on the stone door and spoke to Han Li.

"Then I'll have to trouble Valley Master Fu."

Han Li glanced at Valley Master Fu, removed his hands from the stone door, and turned to pounce toward the Firesorrow Insect King.

The battle to besiege the Firesorrow Insect King was not going smoothly. The attacks of the bearded man and the others were almost all blocked by the Flames of Years around the Insect King's body.

With a sway of his body, Han Li appeared above the Firesorrow Insect King. He pinched a hand seal, about to do something.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, I'll help you!"

The bearded man shouted loudly, also pouncing toward the Insect King, pinching a hand seal with both hands, chanting incessantly, seemingly preparing some kind of secret technique.

"Don't come over!"

But just as Han Li shouted, the Flames of Years on the surface of the Firesorrow Insect King's body flared up, spinning around to transform into a blazing sun.

The next moment, countless rays of fiery light shot out from it, blanketing the sky and striking toward Han Li and the bearded man.

Seeing this, the bearded man hurriedly tried to retreat, but it was already too late. His body was pierced by rays of flame, and with a "poof," it turned into a ball of fire.

A cold light flashed in Han Li's eyes. Golden light flashed on the surface of his body, and his speed suddenly increased several times. Moreover, his entire body underwent incredible twisting and deformation, as if it were not a physical body at all. He actually passed through the countless rays of fire unscathed, instantly appearing in front of the Firesorrow Insect King.

A trace of panic flashed in the Firesorrow Insect King's eyes. Just as it was about to do something, it suddenly heard a cold snort in its ears, and its mind suddenly went numb. Its body curled up.

Just then, a golden light appeared in Han Li's hand. It was a golden longsword, wrapped with strands of Time Law crystals, emitting terrifying power of the Time Law. He swung it violently.

The surrounding heaven and earth vitality trembled with a buzzing sound. A golden thin line swept out, instantly tearing apart the Flames of Years around the Firesorrow Insect King and sweeping past the insect king's neck.

With a "poof," the Firesorrow Insect King's head fell off cleanly.

Seeing the Firesorrow Insect King killed, Jin Liu relaxed his face and immediately stopped the Three Talents Formation, then broke away and flew toward the three beehives on the ground.

Han Li also felt a sense of relief in his heart. He turned his hand to put away the golden longsword, but seeing Jin Liu's actions, his body also swayed and he immediately pounced toward the beehives.

With a flash of his body, he arrived in front of a beehive, waved his hand, and sent out a golden light to wrap around it, lifting it up and putting it away.

At this moment, Jin Liu also flew to another beehive and waved his hand to collect one.

Then, the light emitted by the two of them simultaneously wrapped around the third beehive, but fearing to damage it, they were temporarily unable to decide.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, you have already collected one beehive, and you still want a second one. Isn't that too greedy?" Jin Liu glanced at Han Li, his eyes flashing with a cold light, and said.

"I will also offer these words to Fellow Daoist Jin. It seems that you did not play much of a role in the great battle just now, but you want to occupy two beehives alone. Isn't that too thick-skinned?" Han Li said expressionlessly, his unspoken meaning not intending to give in at all.

"If our Celestial Water Sect had not used secret techniques to imprison the Firesorrow Insect King, would you, a mere Gold Immortal, be able to kill it? Besides, I am collecting this second beehive for the sake of Fellow Daoist Su. With her contribution, it is no problem for her to occupy one beehive, right?" Jin Liu said angrily upon hearing this.

"Then please ask Immortal Su to come and collect it herself. If you take it, who knows if you will take it out later?" Han Li did not give Jin Liu any face, and chuckled.

"What nonsense are you talking about! Don't push your luck!" A layer of blood red surged onto Jin Liu's face, and his eyes revealed a man-eating rage.

"Fellow Daoist Jin, let Fellow Daoist Shi have that beehive." Su Anqian's voice came from afar.

At this moment, she appeared in front of the stone door entrance, waving her hand and sending out balls of blue light, merging into Han Li's blue stone door, firmly attaching it to the entrance, resisting the impact of the insect swarm outside.

"Fellow Daoist Su, what are you saying? This is..." Jin Liu frowned tightly upon hearing this, and said with great dissatisfaction.

"Fellow Daoist Shi made great contributions in this battle. I believe everyone present will not say anything if he occupies two beehives. Moreover, he just saved my life, so I will just consider it as returning a favor." Su Anqian continued.

Hearing this, Han Li raised his eyebrows and glanced at Su Anqian in surprise.

"Fine, have it your way!"

Hearing Su Anqian say this, Jin Liu's expression changed for a while, and after a snort of anger, he withdrew his hand.

Han Li was not polite either. He waved his hand and collected the third beehive, then his body swayed and appeared in front of the cave entrance, pinching hand seals in succession.

Streams of golden light submerged into the blue stone door, turning into a thick layer of golden light curtain. Soon, a seal pattern appeared on the light curtain, and the emitted time fluctuations were several times stronger. Coupled with the secret technique that Su Anqian had just used, the stone door no longer trembled and steadily blocked the place.

"Go!"

Su Anqian glanced at Han Li and took the lead to fly toward the passage on the lava lake.

Losing the blessing of the Firesorrow Insect King, the layer of fire curtain here in the passage also disappeared without a trace. Su Anqian flashed and flew into it.

The others also flew into the passage one after another.

After everyone had entered, Su Anqian turned around and waved her hand.

A stream of blue light shot out from her palm, turning into a thick layer of blue ice crystals, blocking the entrance of the passage here.

Seeing this, the others also used secret techniques or Immortal Artifacts, adding several layers of restrictions at the back, firmly blocking the passage, before continuing to move forward.

The passage was not long, and the group quickly arrived at the end of the passage.

At the end was a small stone chamber. In the center stood a dark red light door, exactly the same as the previous teleportation light door.

Beside the light door stood a stone tablet, on which was written a line of ancient characters.

"Prison Door" "No Entry"

Han Li and the others' expressions changed upon seeing the words on the stone tablet, and they looked at each other.

"Prison Door? Could it be that this Tower of Years is actually a tower of prison?" Valley Master Fu muttered.

"If that's the case, then the metal beasts on the first floor and the Firesorrow Fireflies on the second floor are actually jailers guarding the prison? Now that I think about it, it's not impossible." Han Li said in a pensive tone.

When he saw those Firesorrow Fireflies earlier, he felt that they looked like patrolling soldiers. If they were jailers arranged by Grand Prime Immortal, many things would make sense.

"Instead of guessing here, it's better to go to the third floor and see. Everything will be known." Su Anqian said.

Hearing this, the others all looked at the dark red light door.

This door was shrouded in a layer of dark red malefic light curtain, which looked no different from an ordinary barrier, except that circles of golden light marks rippled on the surface.

Han Li's gaze fell on the light door, and his brows could not help but frown slightly. He felt an unspeakable strange feeling. The light door barrier in front of him seemed to be a little unusual.

Jin Liu's gaze also fell on the light door, but he did not seem to notice anything unusual, so he was about to start breaking the restriction.

Han Li opened his mouth, wanting to speak out to stop him, but after thinking about it, he gave up.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, what's wrong?" Valley Master Fu seemed to have noticed Han Li's abnormality and asked in a low voice.

"I feel a chill down my spine for no reason. I don't know what's going on..." Han Li could not explain, so he had to perfunctorily say.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone around him changed, and they became nervous. Even Jin Liu subconsciously stopped his actions and turned to look at Han Li.

Han Li was expressionless and did not react in any way.

"Acting mysterious!"

Jin Liu cursed in a low voice, then turned to the stone door again. After hesitating for a moment, he still began to crack the restriction.

Before long, a red light flashed on the stone door, and the golden ripples on the light curtain inside the door flickered twice, then disappeared.

"Alright, the restriction has been opened. You can go in." Jin Liu glanced at Valley Master Fu and the others and said.

As a result, these people looked at each other, none of them taking the first step.

"You've all come to this point, do you want to retreat? Valley Master Fu, why don't you set an example?" Jin Liu asked.

Hearing this, Valley Master Fu's expression tightened slightly, and he did not immediately express his stance.

Su Anqian sneered and, ignoring Jin Liu's obstruction, took a step into it first.

Jin Liu could not bother to argue anymore and immediately chased in. The remaining people turned their attention to Valley Master Fu.

Valley Master Fu's expression changed several times, but in the end, he clapped his hands and said, "Wealth and honor are found in danger. Let's go."

With that, he took a step forward and passed through the light door, flashing into the stone door light curtain.

Han Li did not stay any longer and followed closely behind, stepping into the door. His figure then disappeared.

As soon as he entered the light door, Han Li felt a burst of dizziness. His heart tightened slightly, but fortunately, there were no other abnormalities. After standing firm again, he found that he had come to a huge square paved with black stones.

The sky above the square was filled with leaden clouds, and the sinister wind howled. The sky was very dim, and a decaying and sinister aura permeated everywhere.

Han Li saw that the few people who had entered earlier were now standing in place, each of them frowning and looking behind them. His expression could not help but change slightly, and his brows also knotted into a ball.

"As expected..." He slowly turned around and sighed.

Behind him stood a huge stone gate, hundreds of feet tall. On the left and right of the doorposts were carved a golden-armored warrior, holding axes and halberds, glaring at each other. The lintel was carved full of various strange runes.

"What exactly is this? How can there be such complicated restriction runes?" Su Anqian asked with a puzzled face.

"On this stone gate, there are thirty-six kinds of runes alone, and the number of runes engraved is seventy-two. It seems to correspond to the number of Heavenly Spirits and Earthly Fiends, in order to enhance the power of the seal and suppression." Jin Liu said with a frown.

"The restrictions when we came in were not so strict. Why are the restrictions for going out so complicated instead? Could it be that they want to trap those who come in to death?" Valley Master Fu said in surprise upon hearing this.

"Fellow Daoist Fu, you are thinking too much. Perhaps what this restriction stone gate is blocking is not us." Han Li looked into the distance and said.

Valley Master Fu followed Han Li's gaze into the distance and saw a black building standing in the far distance of the square, surrounded by black mist, making it difficult to see clearly.
