Ye Wushuang looked at the two of them and said directly, “You two go ahead first.”
Huh?
The two were taken aback.
“What’s going on?” Mu Zili sensed that something was amiss.
Ye Wushuang smiled and said, “Tian Linzi is not so benevolent as to give us a Royal Spirit Technique. He is merely testing our innate abilities to help him break free from his confinement.”
Upon hearing this, Tian Linzi remained calm and expressionless.
Ji Ou cursed immediately, “You old man, you break your promise!”
Tian Linzi continued to smile serenely and said, “It would be easy for me to kill the four of you. The only reason you are still alive is because of your value as leverage against this young man.”
“Now, get out of here quickly.”
With these words, he waved his hand.
Instantly, a passage appeared around the four figures, sweeping them into it.
And then, in front of Tian Linzi and Ye Wushuang, four images appeared.
The bodies of Mu Zili and the others were swept out, tumbling and landing outside the Tianlin Ancient City.
In the images, the four were unharmed.
Tian Linzi then laughed and said, “Now, are you satisfied?”
Ye Wushuang was taken aback and said, “What I meant was… to let my two friends go.”
…
Tian Linzi impatiently waved his hand and said, “I’ve already let your friends go. Now hurry up and unlock the last seal!”
“Alright.”
Ye Wushuang stepped forward slowly, approaching the foot of the mountain in the shape of the character “pin.”
Tian Linzi’s illusory body, beside him, couldn’t help but rub his hands together.
Freedom was within reach.
Just one more step!
At that moment, outside the Tianlin Ancient City,
Four figures tumbled out of the passage and fell to the ground.
“Damn that bastard Tian Linzi!”
Ji Ou, brandishing his knife, charged towards the ancient city.
Boom…
However, the ancient city’s barrier remained unbroken.
With all his strength, Ji Ou swung his knife in a powerful strike.
Clang…
The seal was unyielding.
“Damn it!”
Ji Ou roared in frustration.
Mu Zili, standing nearby, also had a grim expression on his face.
At this point, all four of them realized that from the very beginning, they had been nothing more than pawns chosen by Tian Linzi.
He had been selecting the most suitable person to help him break free.
But…
The most suitable person would inevitably die.
“Ji Ou, calm down,” Mu Zili said, seeing that Ji Ou was still futilely striking the seal with his knife.
“How can I calm down?”
Mu Zili was furious and said, “Damn it, if it weren’t for Brother Ye, we would have died long ago. Now… Brother Ye might die!”
“It’s not certain.”
Mu Zili tried to comfort him, saying, “Junior Ye must have a plan. Tian Linzi won’t necessarily kill him.”
“Do you really believe that?”
Mu Zili fell silent.
On the other side, Yu Hao and Li Qingyao exchanged glances, both shaking their heads and choosing to leave.
The nearly month-long ordeal inside the Tianlin Ancient City had been like a nightmare.
Li Baifeng, Li Yanran, Tan Yongye, Dong Fangyu, and Shang Tianqing, as well as Tian Yuanbing, all the geniuses who had made a name for themselves in the Qingzhou region, had perished here.
And the survivors had not obtained any world-shattering treasures.
But for now, being alive was enough.
The two of them chose to leave immediately, without lingering any longer.
“Damn it, those two guys ran away pretty fast,” Ji Ou, now dejected, sat on the ground and cursed, “That old fox Tian Linzi, he drives me crazy.”
“Don’t give up. Junior Ye might have a way to protect himself. Let’s wait here a bit longer.”
“There’s nothing else we can do.”
Inside the Tianlin Ancient City, within the Tianlin Tower.
In front of the mountain in the shape of the character “pin,”
Ye Wushuang raised his hands high at this moment, and his body was surrounded by an overwhelming number of spiritual patterns—twenty thousand in total.
These twenty thousand spiritual patterns formed countless runes, covering the three mountain bodies of the massive “pin” -shaped mountain.
The mountain trembled.
At this moment, countless blood-red chains appeared on the surface of the mountain, shaking and trembling, and emitting a sky-piercing malevolent aura.
“Almost there, almost there…” Tian Linzi stood beside Ye Wushuang, extremely excited and said, “Xiao Guangling, you sealed me for hundreds of years, and now you are nothing but a pile of withered bones, right? But you didn’t expect that I would survive, did you?”
Huh?
Upon hearing this, Ye Wushuang was taken aback.
It was not Xiao Guangling who sealed Tian Linzi.
Xiao Guangling himself had admitted it.
But why did Tian Linzi think it was Xiao Guangling?
At this moment, Ye Wushuang had no time to think further. The “pin” -shaped mountain continued to tremble violently, and the blood-red chains, trembling violently, finally began to shatter inch by inch.
And then, the three massive mountains of the “pin” -shaped mountain also began to crack and collapse.
Boom, boom, boom…
The earth-shattering roar echoed through the heavens and the earth at this moment.
At the same time, within the entire Tianlin Ancient City, houses collapsed one after another, and streets began to sink.
It seemed that the “pin” -shaped mountain inside the Tianlin Tower and the entire ancient city were originally one entity.
Seeing the mountain collapse, Ye Wushuang couldn’t help but exclaim in astonishment, “So that’s how it is…”
“This ‘pin’ -shaped mountain is the source of the seal. The entire ancient city is connected to this mountain. Over the years, you have destroyed part of the seal, which is why you have been able to control the ancient city.”
“Those martial artists who were killed turned into blood-bone men, continuing to kill for you, absorbing the life energy of the living to replenish your own energy!”
Tian Linzi was astonished to hear this.
“Truly, you are the one I have chosen,” Tian Linzi laughed loudly. “Indeed, over the past hundreds of years, many people who entered the Tianlin Ancient City obtained numerous treasures, but many also died. They all became my nourishment.”
“And this time, it will be the last!”
At this point, Ye Wushuang spoke again, “Actually, there is still one thing I don’t understand.”
“What?” Tian Linzi asked directly.
