Almost as soon as Si Wuya finished speaking, a thunderous voice rang from outside.
“Hand Qin Naihe over, and I’ll spare your lives!”
Ye Tianxin and Si Wuya rose to their feet simultaneously and looked outside the white tower.
“So fast! He really has a runic passage leading to the white lotus domain,” Si Wuya said, “Let’s go.”
Swoosh! Swoosh!
The duo rushed out of the white tower immediately.
…
At the same time.
Qin De searched the white tower for a long time, but he did not find anyone. He felt as though he had been tricked. He needed to find Qin Naihe and Si Wuya as soon as possible.
After he had spoken, no one responded to him.
All of a sudden, he sensed a strange surge of vitality energy. He flashed and locked onto the location of the energy surge.
Soon enough, Qin De appeared near Si Wuya and Ye Tianxin. He did not waste time and struck with his palm as soon as he arrived. “Let’s see where you can run now!”
The palm seal was like a mountain as it flew out.
Si Wuya tossed his Peacock Plume out, and it fanned out in the air. Then, a pair of golden wings that spanned 100 feet unfurled on his back.
Since the palm seal was not aimed at Ye Tianxin, she had no trouble avoiding it. Moreover, her cultivation base was higher than Si Wuya’s. When she landed, she looked up immediately. Then, she cast the Butterfly Love Flower to pull Si Wuya down.
Boom!
The palm seal landed on the white tower.
However, Si Wuya did not panic at all. Instead, a smile could be seen on his face as he said, “Elder Qin, you’ve been tricked.”
Qin De was taken aback. “Tricked?”
“I’ve sent Qin Naihe back to the green lotus domain a long time ago!”
“…”
Annoyance surged in Qin De’s heart upon hearing these words. He found the cunning young man in front of him detestable. He barked, “How dare you toy with me!”
Swoosh!
Qin De left afterimages in his wake as he flew out. He said angrily, “It’s the same if I capture you!”
His goal was to hold someone hostage. It did not matter who his hostage was as long as his hostage could deter Lu Zhou or Qin Renyue. The more he thought about it, the more he thought the young man in front of him would make a better hostage. After all, Qin Naihe was seriously injured. This meant if he had captured Qin Naihe, he would have to treat Qin Naihe’s injuries as well. If Qin Naihe died, he would lose his bargaining chip.
With 17 Birth Charts, Qin De’s speed was incredibly fast. It was almost impossible to catch his movements.
Si Wuya did not expect Qin De to really dare to target him. He hurriedly said, “Let’s go!”
The Runic Hall was located at the bottom of the white tower.
“Don’t even think about leaving!” Qin De smacked his palm on the ground as he landed.
Boom!
The ground trembled.
…
In the Runic Hall.
All the members of the White Tower Council were present in the hall.
The judges, Ning Wanqing and Bi Shuo, could sense something was wrong with the runic passage immediately.
“He’s familiar with runic passages! Hurry up and activate it!” Ning Wanqing cried out as he slammed his hand down.
Bang!
The runic passage lit up briefly before the light was extinguished.
“This is bad! We can’t channel energy into the runic passage!”
…
So Wuya frowned.
“Why aren’t you running anymore?” Qin De sneered.
Si Wuya raised an eyebrow as he placed his hands on his back and said, “Are you sure you want to make an enemy out of the Evil Sky Pavilion?”
“I have no choice. If it weren’t for your master, I wouldn’t have ended up like this. Don’t worry, I won’t kill you,” Qin De said.
“I bet that not only do you not dare to kill me, but you don’t even dare to touch me…” Si Wuya turned slightly to look at the people in the hall, indicating that they were not allowed to make a move.
Then, Si Wuya inhaled deeply. His expression was calm, and his eyes shone with a strange light. Then, he looked inside the Runic Hall again. Due to the dark sky, it was difficult to see inside.
On the other hand, Qin De was taken aback when he heard Si Wuya’s words.
At this time, Si Wuya began to walk toward the entrance of the Runic Hall. His speed was moderate and leisurely.
At this moment, silence permeated the white tower.
Ye Tianxin called out, perplexed, “Seventh Junior Brother?”
“Don’t worry.” Si Wuya seemed unreasonably confident.
Ye Tianxin naturally knew how meticulous Si Wuya was when dealing with matters. However, at this time, no matter how thorough or clever his plans were, they were useless when faced with absolute strength. The other party was a highly-experienced Seventeen Chart cultivator.
Qin De said with a sneer, “Young man, you weren’t even born yet when I was playing tricks…”
Qin De mobilized Primal Qi with his right hand.
Si Wuya continued to stride forward. When he was ten meters away from the entrance of the hall, the snowy-white ground was reflected on his lower body.
Qin De was about to make a move when he saw a flash of red in Si Wuya’s eyes.
“Hm?”
The flash of red light did not look ordinary. It was like the burning sun or the molten iron in a forging furnace.
Strangely, Qin De hesitated when he saw the flash of red light. At the same time, an ominous feeling rose in his heart.
At this time, the Peacock Plume landed on Si Wuya’s back again.
Swoosh!
The wings that spanned 100 feet unfurled in all their glory, coincidentally blocking the main entrance of the hall.
Si Wuya’s expression was indifferent, and his voice was confident as he asked, “Do you dare?”
Si Wuya’s confidence actually made Qin De take a step back. Then, his eyes widened before he said skeptically, “Impossible! He died a long time ago!”
Then, Qin De steeled himself. He shook his head, and his expression returned to normal. He was determined to see this through. He said angrily, “Putting on an act? I’m going to catch you anyway!”
Swoosh!
A shadow flashed and arrived in front of the main hall.
Si Wuya flapped his wings, shooting out thousands of golden needles.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The golden needles landed on Qin De’s body harmlessly.
As soon as Qin De landed, Ye Tianxin, Ning Wanqing, and Bi Shuo launched a palm seal at the same time.
Bang!
The white tower shook slightly.
Qin De remained unmoved.
The trio retreated as their blood and Qi surged in their bodies.
The cultivation bases of the members of the White Tower Council were higher than Qin De had expected. Their palm strikes showed him that he had underestimated his opponents.
Qin De glanced at Si Wuya to determine Si Wuya was unharmed from the backlash. After all, he did not want to kill Si Wuya, he only wanted to take Si Wuya hostage. He said with a smile, “If you don’t leave with me, I’ll kill them.”
Si Wuya frowned.
Buzz!
At this moment, the 30,000 Dao inscriptions on the White Tower Council suddenly lit up one after another in ascending order.
Qin De instinctively looked up. With that, he saw a blue-clad woman slowly descending from the sky.
“Another person who’s courting death…”
Qin De pushed his hand up and launched a huge palm seal. Even if the woman did not die from this palm seal, she would still be heavily injured.
The palm seal continued to grow as it shot up the sky.
Screeechhh!
An ear-piercing cry resounded in the sky at this moment. The soundwave rolled out and destroyed the palm seal immediately.
Qin De was shocked. When he looked up, he saw a crimson fierce beast flying toward him. Its body was that of a chicken, and it was emitting a mysterious energy.
Qin De hurriedly raised his hand.
Boom!
Qin De was sent flying back before he spat out a mouthful of blood. He slid back on the snowy ground for a long time before he finally came to a stop.
Red dots could be seen on the snow-white ground.
At this time, the crimson bird landed on the ground. Then, the blue-clad woman landed on the crimson bird’s back.
“Master’s orders state that anyone who trespasses the white tower will be killed without mercy.”
Everyone in the Runic Hall was briefly stunned. After a while, they finally realized reinforcements had arrived. Then, they rushed out one after another.
Ye Tianxin and Si Wuya looked at the crimson fierce beast. Compared to the fierce beasts they had seen, it was not very big. It was about the size of a human, and its feathers were slender and glowing with light.
Apart from Si Wuya, the members of the White Tower Council recognized the crimson fierce beasts as well.
“Halcyon Divine Bird!”
“What a strong Great Void energy!”
