Chapter 1777 Conversion Array
The snake woman and the moon bear looked at each other, each seeing doubt and hesitation in the other's eyes.
Ruan Yu took two steps toward the door. "Whether it's true or not, we'll find out soon enough."
"Master, no!" The snake woman nervously tried to step forward and grab Ruan Yu.
Ruan Yu is also of the fire element. What if she is corrupted by the power of the moon?
"It's alright." Jun Ran glanced at the snake woman, signaling her not to interfere.
He knew better than anyone else that Ruan Yu was not only a fire elementalist.
The power of the moonlight can enhance the power of Ruan Yu's water and ice attributes.
Ruan Yu stepped out of the room, letting the moonlight, mixed with the power of the moon, fall on her, giving her an indescribable feeling of coolness.
"Go in quickly." Zi Chen had arrived on the third floor at some point. Seeing Ruan Yu standing in the corridor, bathed in moonlight, his heart tightened.
He quickly came over, trying to pull her back into the room.
Before he could even touch her, an unexpected figure blocked his way.
"Night Lord." Having served the Tower Master for so long, Zi Chen naturally knew who the man blocking his way was. It was precisely because he knew that he was so shocked.
Why would Night Lord, who didn't leave his room even when the Tower Master arrived, appear on the third floor?
Was it because of Ruan Yu?
Zi Chen's gaze bypassed Jun Ran and turned to Ruan Yu.
"Lord Zichen." The snake woman stood in the room, looking at Zichen in his black robes, and had already believed most of Jun Ran's words.
"Does the Tower Master... want to kill us?" she asked, her voice trembling.
Zi Chen ignored her and instead looked at Ruan Yu: "Come here."
His tone left no room for refusal.
Ruan Yu ignored him completely and said to Jun Ran, "Take off his outer robe."
Is it because you're afraid of the power of the moonlight that you're blocking it so tightly?
Upon hearing this, alarm bells rang in Zi Chen's mind, but before he could dodge, Jun Ran ripped off his outer robe.
With a tearing sound, the next second, Zi Chen was completely exposed to the moonlight.
He quickly slipped into the house.
"Lord Zichen, are you afraid of the moonlight?" Yuexiong asked, already having an answer in mind.
The silly-looking boys were no longer silly; they clenched their fists, furious: "As expected, the Tower Master is going to wipe us all out!"
"I knew it was such a coincidence that everyone who got caught was a fire-type!"
"So that's what they were planning!"
Zi Chen's face was deathly pale. As the Tower Master's confidant, he knew very well the Tower Master's purpose. That was why he dared not face the Tower Master and all living beings.
"But why does the Tower Master want to kill us? For so many years, we haven't resisted, nor have we ever thought of leaving the Demon Suppression Tower. Wouldn't it be better to just live in peace like this?" Moon Bear's eyes were filled with pain.
He had practically come to regard the tower master as his own.
Now we know that the tower master kept them captive for many years, actually to kill them.
But why didn't you take action in the first place?
Ruan Yu noticed a small array at the top of the tower.
"If I'm not mistaken, after the power of the moonlight devours your cultivation, it will flow into the body of the person who set up the formation through the array."
She said meaningfully, "Is that right, Zichen?"
Zi Chen: "...Yes, the formation was indeed set up by the Tower Master."
“But I didn’t mean to hurt you,” he hurriedly explained. “Ruan Yu, come with me.”
"This place will soon become a living hell; it's no longer suitable to stay here."
Zi Chen's eyes were sincere: "I have made many contributions these past few days, and the Tower Master has granted me permission to take you away."
"I don't believe you." Ruan Yu looked at Zi Chen with an indifferent expression.
"I really came to save you. If you don't leave quickly, you'll end up like them." Zi Chen was anxious and tried to pull Ruan Yu away.
But Jun Ran blocked her way: "She doesn't believe you, can't you hear me?"
“Night Lord,” Zi Chen said coldly, “I believe I have not offended you.”
"And... you're not among the people the tower wants to kill."
To the snake woman, these words sounded utterly ridiculous: "So, everyone in the Demon Suppression Tower except for Night Lord has to die, right? Zi Chen, even I have to die, right?"
She laughed mockingly, her body trembling.
They don't even call him "Lord Zichen" anymore.
Zi Chen looked at the snake woman with complicated emotions: "I also want to protect you, but the tower master only allowed me to take one person with me."
The snake woman laughed even louder: "It's alright, I saw it long ago. You don't care about me. Even though I was the one who ripped out my heart's blood to save your life when you were on the verge of death, and I owe you a life-saving grace, you still wouldn't choose me when you're in danger."
She did not compete with Ruan Yu for his affections.
Instead, she was angry that all her efforts over the years had been in vain.
It's really not worth it...
"Snake Woman..." Moon Bear and Tiger Boys looked at the Snake Woman with great concern.
A timid boy reached out and shoved Zi Chen out, yelling, "Get out of here! We don't want to see you!"
Zi Chen's body was like a small mountain, rooted to the ground, and could not be moved no matter what.
"Time's almost up, let's go." He looked at Ruan Yu and Jun Ran with a serious expression.
"The transformation formation is about to activate." A "ding" sound seemed to ring in Ruan Yu's mind.
She leaped from the third floor, landing directly in front of the tower master and his entourage.
The guards behind the tower master were startled and immediately drew their swords.
"No need, they're all on our side," the tower master waved his hand.
"Who's on your side?" Ruan Yu pointed dismissively.
The Ice-Breaking Sword was pressed against the Tower Master's neck.
It was just a hair's breadth away from cutting his skin.
"How dare you! You actually dared to assassinate the Tower Master!" The guard was extremely anxious, but dared not act rashly.
All he could do was curse: "Zi Chen, the people you brought back! Can't you even keep an eye on your own?!"
"What's going on... Why am I feeling dizzy? You bitch, what have you done?" One by one, the guards collapsed.
Not only the guards, but also the people from the Demon Suppression Tower began to sway: "Huh? Why are there two tower masters in front of me? Am I drunk?"
"I feel so dizzy..."
In the blink of an eye, apart from the tower master and Ruan Yu's group, there was no one left alive inside the tower.
"You're actually alright." The tower master, with a sword pressed against his vitals, showed no sign of panic.
Instead, he chatted with Ruan Yu with a smile: "Let me guess, are you water-attribute or ice-attribute?"
"I am your father attribute!" Ruan Yu raised her other hand, and divine power shot out, striking the core of the formation.
The formation that enhanced the power of the moonlight was destroyed, and the tower master was furious upon seeing this.
"I shouldn't have kept you alive until now!" He struck Ruan Yu with a palm strike.
Ruan Yu dodged backward, and Jun Ran descended from the sky at just the right moment, meeting her palm in the process.
"boom!"
The Demon-Suppressing Tower trembled.
The aftershocks affected several people nearby, instantly pulverizing them without leaving a trace.
