Chapter 1432 - Chapter 1432 Chapter 1530 Saving People

Chapter 1432: Chapter 1530: Saving People Chapter 1432: Chapter 1530: Saving People Seven Stars Tower stood above the sea, with two elderly men dressed in white Taoist robes sitting at its front and back.

These two elderly Taoists, one with crane-like hair and a youthful face, had a radiant complexion and an energetic presence. If he were to descend to the mortal realms, he would surely be regarded as a celestial being, transcendent and otherworldly.

The other elder, however, appeared sallow and thin, seemingly dizzy and haggard. The loose white Taoist robe on his body also seemed ill-fitting.

Seven Stars Tower was a critical location for the Taoist Sect, and these two guardians, both in terms of cultivation and seniority, were beyond reproach among the many powerful figures in the Taoist Sect.

One day, as the two guardians were meditating with closed eyes, a figure suddenly rushed towards them.

Both guardians simultaneously opened their eyes and showed a hint of surprise and confusion at the sight of the incoming person.

“Crane Hair, how come you are here?” the elder with crane-like hair and a youthful face asked.

The newcomer was none other than the black-faced elder from Chongyun Temple, known in the Taoist Sect as Han Jianzi.

Flying closer, the black-faced elder looked at the two guardians and said, “Just passing by, hope you both are well.”

The crane-haired elder furrowed his brows slightly, “Your aura seems a bit disordered, what has happened?”

The black-faced elder shook his head, “Don’t mention it. I was chasing a person from the Nine Countries called Fang Lin, nearly caught him but he managed to escape.”

“Fang Lin? That name sounds familiar,” the crane-haired elder pondered thoughtfully.

“That Fang Lin has delved deep into our Taoist lands and is now unaccounted for, maybe nearby. Both of you should be extra cautious. It seems his intention to breach our Taoist Sect centers around the Seven Stars Tower,” the black-faced elder explained.

“No worries, with us guarding the Seven Stars Tower, even if he has ulterior motives, he will not succeed,” the crane-haired elder confidently stated.

However, the emaciated elder suddenly looked at the black-faced elder with a suspicious and uncertain gaze but kept silent.

While the black-faced elder chatted with the crane-haired elder, he kept glancing around surreptitiously. Initially, the crane-haired elder did not notice, but he was not slow to catch on; he soon realized something was off about this Han Jianzi.

“Crane Hair, about the matter I entrusted to you before, how is it coming along?” suddenly, the emaciated elder who had been silent spoke up.

The black-faced elder was startled, his gaze becoming somewhat evasive as he stammered, “Well, that, it’s almost settled, no need to worry, it’ll be done soon.”

The emaciated elder narrowed his eyes, his murky eyes unusually sharp.

Having known the emaciated elder for many years, the crane-haired elder understood the unspoken message in his gaze and remained silent, merely watching the black-faced elder.

“You are not Crane Hair, who are you really?” the emaciated elder asked sternly, his presence firmly locking onto the black-faced elder.

The crane-haired elder also looked indifferently at the black-faced elder, prepared to act without hesitation at any sign of instability.

“Damn it!” cursed the black-faced elder internally, for he was not the real Crane Hair, but a disguise crafted by the millennia-old Corpse Ginseng using its power of transformation.

“Uh, what are you talking about? I am Han Jianzi!” The thousand-year-old Corpse Ginseng tried to bluff again, but the two men were not fools and had already seen through the Corpse Ginseng’s flaws.

“Reveal your true form now, or we will have to make a move,” threatened the emaciated elder.

“Attack!” Suddenly, a loud shout rang out, and Fang Lin appeared abruptly, hurling a Boundless Mountain toward the two Taoists and the Seven Stars Tower.

The two Taoists were startled, not expecting that another person would suddenly emerge and hurl a mountain down directly.

“How audacious and reckless!” The Crane Hair Taoist exclaimed sharply, transformed his finger into a sword, and pointed directly at the thunderously falling Boundless Mountain.

Meanwhile, the emaciated elder moved swiftly, appearing behind the thousand-year-old Corpse Ginseng and fiercely striking at the back of his heart with a sharp palm.

“Go to hell!” The thousand-year-old Corpse Ginseng cursed and turned around to throw a punch, clashing fiercely with the palm of the emaciated elder.

The emaciated elder’s face slightly changed, not expecting this imposter to possess such formidable strength, his punch seemed to have the cultivation of the Great Longevity.

“Damn it! I played it so realistically and yet you old bastard still saw through me!” the thousand-year-old Corpse Ginseng cursed incessantly, tangling up with the emaciated elder like a mad dog.

At this moment, because he had transformed into the appearance of the dark-faced elder Han Jianzi, the Corpse Ginseng temporarily possessed the strength of Han Jianzi. Moreover, with his incredibly resilient nature, he was unafraid of taking hits, thus he managed to suppress the emaciated elder for a time.

On the other side, after the Crane Hair Taoist struck the Boundless Mountain, a streak of finger light harshly hit it; the mountain vibrated violently but was left unscathed.

“Huh?” The Crane Hair Taoist was astonished; his finger strike could shatter not just one but hundreds of mountains, yet this pitch-black mountain peak was completely undamaged without even a single crack.

Fang Lin instantly merged into the Ancient Lamp of Flame God, the Kylin battle garments carrying blazing flames covered his entire body and, wielding the White Bone Dragon Spear, he directly attacked the Crane Hair Taoist.

“You’re courting death!” The Crane Hair Taoist was unaware of how powerful Fang Lin was. He had only sensed that Fang Lin had merely Spirit Source cultivation and found it somewhat laughable that Fang Lin dared attack him.

However, once they crossed hands, the Crane Hair Taoist could no longer laugh; Fang Lin, whether in terms of strength or physical body, had reached the level of the Great Longevity, especially in physical strength, he was even stronger than the Crane Hair Taoist.

“This young man is so powerful!” The Crane Hair Taoist was greatly alarmed, the opponent clearly a junior of merely Spirit Source realm, yet possessing such terrifying and unimaginable strength.

The Crane Hair Taoist dared not be negligent, summoning an ancient bronze Longsword in his hand to fight with Fang Lin.

While Fang Lin was fighting with this Crane Hair Taoist, he also controlled the Boundless Mountain to strike the Seven Stars Tower. However, an array protected the tower, and despite multiple attempts to smash the array with the mountain, it remained unbroken.

“We have already come this far; we must not fail! Even if it means risking everything, I must rescue you!” Fang Lin roared in his heart, his eyes already bloodshot, disregarding defense and fiercely attacking the Crane Hair Taoist.

“Ah, ah, ah, ah! I’m going all out too, Dugu, I’m here to rescue you!” The thousand-year-old Corpse Ginseng bellowed repeatedly, as a surge of boundless corpse energy poured out.

…

Inside the Seven Stars Tower, locked beneath the giant stone sword, Dugu Nian seemed to sense something and opened her eyes, but her hair was vivid as blood.
