Chapter 70
Translator: NovelMultiverse Editor: NovelMultiverse
Cultivator Gui Xiao revealed his human form . Looking at the pagoda covered with black water, he looked as if he could see past it to the people within, proudly saying: “If this Nine Storied Pagoda were in the hands of that old thing Mo, I would turn around and leave now . But, in your hands? It’s a waste of resources . Today, I’ll show you the ways of the Demonic Path!”
Saying this, Cultivator Gui Xiao folded his talon-like hands over his chest, using his brittle fingers to cast a spell . With his movements, the black water covering the Nine Storied Pagoda began to move like the currents in a river, filling the air with the sound of crashing waves .
The Yu Qing members hiding under the protection of the Nine Storied Pagoda could see seals flashing on the innards of the tower . Even if they couldn’t control the pagoda, they could still tell that the Nine Storied Pagoda’s spiritual energy was being greatly deplenished .
As the controller, Jin Dasheng was well aware of everything that happened to the Nine Storied Pagoda . He knew that the flowing black water was like the sharpest dagger, shaving away at the defensive lines of the Pagoda . Even if he used all his energy in instigating the Nine Storied Pagoda’s power, he knew that it would not take long for the defenses to break .
If Mo Rushi were, he would be able to precisely control the tower and maximize the Nine Storied Pagoda’s energy . However, Jin Dasheng couldn’t; only being able to coarsely move it along . A lot of the energy was thus deplenished .
It was like a game of chess . Everyone had the same pieces, but some were able to become world-class champions while others were only able to count as “noobs” . If you were to use this comparison, then Mo Rushi would be the champion and Jin Dasheng the noob .
“Jin, can you hang on any longer?” Ye Zan could tell that they were in unfortunate circumstances . However, to call them dire would be a stretch . If Jin Dasheng really couldn’t keep it up, he could open the dimension and hide everyone in there .
Of course, this was the last choice . If there was even a sliver of a chance, Ye Zan was unwilling to reveal his dimension . After all, the dimension and everything inside were his greatest assets in this world .
Hearing Ye Zan’s question, Jin Dasheng’s expression was grave, saying: “Your student is useless, having let Uncle enter dangerous predicaments multiple times . Even if I give up my life, I will ensure your safety . ”
“Don’t you have a Quaking Seal?” Ye Zan hadn’t thought that deeply . His knowledge of magical treasure was limited . Thus, he had asked a stupid question .
However, though Ye Zan’s question was stupid, his position was still there . Jin Dasheng could only smile exhaustedly and patiently answer: “I’ve let Uncle down once again . With my cultivation, even using the Nine Storied Tower is a stretch . I have no cultivation energy left to use the Quaking Seal . However, be at ease Uncle . Seeing as I’ve used the Nine Storied Pagoda, Uncle Mo should be able to know . We need only to wait until Uncle Mo comes and rescues us . ”

But, would they be able to make it to Mo Rushi’s rescue?
Cultivator Gui Xiao coldly laughed, saying: “Little boy, give up your treasures and I might be able to give you all a peaceful death . Or else, I’m afraid you might have to taste what it feels like to have your soul tempered by Demonic Energy . ”
“Whatever tricks you have, feel free to use them all! Did you really think I would be scared of you!” Jin Dasheng was still unwilling to bow his head . Though he had the appearance of a scholar, he was now using the language of a bandit .
“Hehe, I know . You’re still being delusional, thinking that Old Mo will come and save you . Unfortunately…” Cultivator Gui Xiao shook his head, seeming a little saddened while saying: “Unfortunately, I’m afraid that when Old Mo comes, all that will be left to see will be a puddle of blood . ”
Finishing, Cultivator Gui Xiao took a black gourd from his waist . Facing the Yu Qing Sect, he broke it . Immediately, tens of thousands of ghosts rushed out from the tiny gourd . At once, the mountainside was filled with the wrath of the howling hosts, dragging the word into an inferno-like state .
Gui Xiao was obviously not stupid enough to wait until Mo Rushi came, taking out his prized weapons first . This gourd of ghosts was the fruit of many decades of collection . He had faced the risk of capture by the Righteous Sects; tempering the weapon out of the souls of tens of thousands of Secular Humans .
The thousands of ghosts were like rushing currents, falling against the black water covering the Nine Storied Pagoda . In an instant, the black water was like a fire doused with gasoline, rushing up once again . Countless ghosts wrestled and fought, tearing at each other and filling the air with an almost tangible wrath .

Within the Nine Storied Pagoda, Jin Dasheng, who had been using all his power to hold on to the defensives, grew red in the face and spat out a mouthful of blood . Stumbling a couple of steps, he almost fell to the ground . Seeing this, the Yu Qing students couldn’t help but reveal an expression of hopelessness . Even an idiot could tell that Jin Dasheng would be unable to fight any longer .
Ye Zan touched his wrist . Would he really have to open the dimension? But, hiding in the dimension didn’t mean that they would be safe . This was another problem . Seeing the tactics of Gui Xiao, Ye Zan was really unable to be sure of himself . Should he throw a nuke to test the waters first?
Thinking of this, Ye Zan’s fingers had already pressed twice on the controls on his wrist . A small door silently opened beneath his palm . Immediately, a golden ball the size of his fist was brought out by a robotic arm, placed into his palm .
Calling it a nuke would be an exaggeration . This golden ball was actually a plasma grenade . After all, Ye Zan didn’t want to die with Cultivator Gui Xiao . if he really planted a mushroom cloud, well, not to mention whether Gui Xiao would really die, he knew for sure that Yu Qing would be buried here .
“Zoom!”
Ye Zan clicked the grenades button, passing Jin Dasheng and throwing it out . However, to his disappointment, although the grenade had passed the boundaries of the Nine Storied Pagoda, it was blocked by the lakers of black water . Ye Zan hadn’t predicted the obstacle of the black water . He had thought that, with his arm strength and the help of his nano-material armor, he would be able to tow the grenade across .

Alas, Ye Zan was yet again humbled . As the grenade met the black waters, it was immediately dissolved . After letting out a ring of light, there was nothing left of it .
Bruh . It seems that even if he wanted to throw a grenade, he wouldn’t be able to get it out!
“Great Uncle, what is that?” Kong Qingyun asked confusedly from the side .
Ye Zan embarrassedly smiled, saying: “It’s nothing . I was just laying around . ”
The defensive properties of the Nine Storied Pagoda were growing weaker, the seals fading visibly . The Yu Qing members could already hear the cries of the ghosts from outside; startling and grotesque . There was no one at ease .
Nevermind if it was safe or not . They should first enter the dimension and hide it out! Ye Zan was helpless, finally deciding to open his dimension and reveal his biggest secret .
However, at this time, Jin Dasheng suddenly brightened up, saying: “Uncle Mo has come . ”
