Chapter 612: 309: Zhi Yan arrived! Qin Shu stabs Zhi Li!

Suo Lun had been on this secret island for five days now!

In the central basin of the mountain, Princess Yuanyuan of Yaozhou had long ago built a magnificent castle in front of the Sky-reaching Pagoda. Despite everything being transported from thousands of miles away, the castle had everything one could need; nothing was missing.

Princess Yuanyuan of Yaozhou had been studying the Sky-reaching Pagoda for several years, but still, she had almost nothing to show for it.

At this moment, Suo Lun stood in front of the immense Pagoda!

From the summit far away, the tower already seemed incomparably tall. Standing beneath it, one felt so overwhelmed that they couldn’t even muster the energy to marvel.

It was truly like a colossal mountain.

The entire base of the tower covered tens of thousands of square meters. Looking up from the base, one could not see the top at all—it seemed to puncture the sky.

Currently, Suo Lun was only three meters away from the entrance of the Sky-reaching Pagoda!

The two large doors, made of stone, stood over a dozen meters high and were wide open, as if inviting anyone to enter effortlessly.

Through the open doors, one could glimpse the situation inside the great hall.

The hall was empty, but the walls were adorned with various types of statues.

Moreover, these statues were extremely explicit, lifelike, and strikingly realistic, stirring one’s blood to boil.

"Feeling fired up, huh? Zhuang Zhixuan by your side can alleviate your desires anytime, anywhere." Witch Yuanyuan’s voice arose beside Suo Lun. "I can make her kneel now, like a dog for you to play with."

As she spoke, Zhuang Zhixuan’s beautiful face twitched slightly.

Upon arriving at Pagoda Island, Witch Yuanyuan finally stopped her tricks of disguise, and Suo Lun saw her as he did when they first met.

She was enchanting to the bone, exceptionally beguiling.

"I’ve already sent thousands of people into the tower, but not a single one has come out," Yuanyuan said. "Whether they are dead or alive, I have no idea. Let me watch you take a look."

With that, Yuanyuan waved her hand.

Suddenly, masters from Yaozhou pushed forward a dozen slaves, who looked to be from a desert tribe, of brown ethnicity, both men and women. Each of them was only draped in simple cloth strips.

"You, go in," Yuanyuan ordered.

Instantly, the slaves showed no sign of resistance and headed straight for the entrance of the Butu Tower.

Then, a very eerie scene unfolded.

It was clearly an ordinary stone door, clearly a regular entrance.

However, as these people passed through the doorway, they vanished without a trace.

It was as if the door was a portal leading to another world.

One must know, the great hall inside was clearly visible. These people walked in and just disappeared.

It was too eerie...

The Sky-reaching Pagoda seemed like a hell, swallowing all life.

Yet, the slaves behind them, as if devoid of any fear, poured continuously into the doorway.

In the end, over a dozen slaves completely disappeared from view.

"I’ve sent thousands inside, and every time the result is the same," Yuanyuan sighed.

Thousands of people had completely vanished within the tower, never to return.

Was the Sky-reaching Pagoda really hell?

Right then, Suo Lun suddenly felt a slight change in the wall carvings within the hall.

Immediately, his eyes sharply focused, releasing spiritual power.

The carvings on the hall’s walls, originally over a hundred meters from him, seemed to be abruptly pulled right before his eyes as he concentrated his spiritual power.

Instantly, he could see the details of those carvings.

Each carving was the size of a real person.

Then Suo Lun clearly saw new figures emerging on the walls, each one naked.

Because the carvings were so lifelike, Suo Lun recognized at a glance that the dozen new figures were the slaves who had just been sent in.

Following this, the new figures in the carvings started to move and engaged in sexual acts.

Then, all the movements froze, becoming a still carving, captured in the most explicit moments.

Seeing this, Suo Lun was nearly astounded.

Living people entered this giant tower, only to turn into carvings on the wall.

This Futu Tower was too bizarre, what kind of Dragon Mark sacred artifact could possibly be inside?

Furthermore, if people turned into carvings upon entering the tower, how was that different from death?

And it was at this moment, hundreds of miles away from Pagoda Island, a large ship appeared.

There was only one passenger on the ship, and it was Zhi Yan.

In the vast ocean, chasing after a ship was nearly impossible, like finding a needle in a haystack. Zhi Yan was able to find this place because she also knew of the existence of Pagoda Island and the Sky-reaching Pagoda.

Upon hearing that Yuanyuan had sailed in this direction, she immediately guessed that Yuanyuan’s destination was the Sky-reaching Pagoda, so she hired a ship to follow.

"Miss, we can’t go any further, or we’ll end up with nowhere to bury our bodies," the captain trembled as he spoke.

Zhi Yan nodded, tossing a bag of Gold Coins to him. "Alright, you may sail back."

Then she leaped from the ship, diving into the sea, swimming towards Pagoda Island ahead.

Suo Lun, I firmly believe you’re still alive!

...

Wangcheng Zidu, Earl of Linhai’s mansion!

At this moment, the one holding a knife was not only Gui Qinshao but also Ling Ao.

He too gripped the dagger in his sleeve tightly and then stood on the inevitable path leading to the bridal chamber.

In fact, even if he wanted to splatter blood for five steps, he did not need to stand here holding a dagger. But it seemed that only by holding this dagger could he feel his will and anger.

He did not know why he was standing there, but he had walked over in a daze.

Despite his promise to Gui Xingfu, he really couldn’t bear it. His pure and impeccable, beautifully delicate wife was going to be desecrated by Zhi Li, knowing that he, Ling Ao, hadn’t even touched a finger of hers.

At this time, the corridor leading to the bridal chamber was deserted.

Zhi Li approached with a burning heart, thinking that he was about to possess Gui Qinshao, such a peerless beauty, and immediately became as hard as iron somewhere.

Gui Qinshao was truly the kind of woman who made one almost burst out just by thinking of her.

Walking ahead, he suddenly saw Ling Ao blocking the way, which took him by surprise.

At this moment, Ling Ao’s face was almost fierce.

"What do you think you’re doing?" Zhi Li taunted.

Ling Ao’s face twitched, and he tightened his grip on the dagger in his sleeve again. The anger and courage that had swelled up inside him nearly dissipated quickly under Zhi Li’s gaze.

Zhi Li said, "You’re standing here to express your anger, not to stop me, but to tell yourself that you’ve tried your best, that you’ve held on until the last moment, that you’ve expressed your anger. Then you can sit back and watch me desecrate your bride with a clear conscience."

Zhi Li’s words stabbed into Ling Ao’s heart like a sharp knife.

"Ling Ao, you’ve truly disappointed me," Zhi Li said coldly. "Either you should have firmly refused me from the start and eloped with Gui Qinshao or you should be smiling as you deliver her to my bed, even helping me by pushing her from behind while I play with her. If you could do either, you’d be an impressive man."

Then, Zhi Li pursed his lips and said, "On one hand, you can’t give up power and dare not outright offend me. On the other hand, you desperately want to protect your dignity, so you come here to perform these pointless acts to deceive yourself for consolation. I really don’t know what the City Lord Gui Xingfu saw in you to cultivate you so much; you are now nothing but a decorative pillow."

Suddenly, Ling Ao’s heart was pierced full of holes.

All his pride was trampled so that it was unrecognizable.

If Zhi Li were merely spouting nonsense, of course, it wouldn’t hurt him, but the key was that every word Zhi Li said was profound and struck to the core.

In an instant, he completely doubted himself and really was just like what Zhi Li had said, a useless decorative pillow.

"Why are you still blocking the way?" Zhi Li barked coldly.

Suddenly, the confused Ling Ao didn’t know why, but he instinctively stepped aside.

Then, Zhi Li laughed mockingly and headed towards the bridal chamber.

...

Arriving outside the bridal chamber, Zhi Li gently pushed open the door.

Gui Qinshao, this woman, he had coveted her from the first glance, as she was too glamorous, too sensual.

Even though, compared with Turing Duo and Zhi Ning, Gui Qinshao was much simpler-minded and also vain and frivolous, it was precisely this kind of woman who was most suitable for a golden house to hide a concubine.

Zhi Li walked to the bedside, breathed heavily, and said, "Gui Qinshao, you are my woman from now on."

Now, he had finally got his wish.

But...

His hand had only reached out halfway.

Suddenly, Gui Qinshao spun around, a flash of cold light in her hand rapidly slashing towards his groin.

Zhi Li was utterly captivated at that moment, his mind in turmoil. How could he have expected this turn of events?

Only when Gui Qinshao’s dagger aimed for his lower abdomen did he suddenly snap back to reality and quickly retreated...

"Swoosh..."

Gui Qinshao’s long-standing impression was that of a mere beautified peacock, unrivaled in glamour, with nothing else to her name.

However, her swordsmanship talent won even the admiration of Sword Master Bi Xiao.

The defeat in her duel with Suo Lun completely overshadowed her swordsmanship, making people forget that she was a high-level swordswoman, a mere twenty-one-year-old high-level swordswoman at that.

Furthermore, with this sword, she concentrated all her hatred, all her chilliness, while under the covers.

It was incredibly fierce and resolute!

Perhaps because ignorance is fearlessness, an angry Gui Qinshao feared no consequences and struck without the slightest mercy.

And the infatuated Zhi Li, only realizing the danger when the dagger was upon him, retreated quickly but could not dodge Gui Qinshao’s lethal strike.

Zhi Li only felt an icy numbness below, followed by blood gushing out...

"Ah..." He was immediately terrified.

Instinctively, he struck out a palm towards Gui Qinshao.

"Ah..." Gui Qinshao let out a pitiful cry, her delicate body being sent flying, blood spraying in the air before she crashed heavily onto the ground.

"Ah... ah... ah..."

Zhi Li roared, desperately clutching at the wound on his lower body.

Blood surged crazily.

In just half a second, two figures flashed into the room, one of them being Chief Eunuch Li Chenglian. He blinked to Gui Qinshao’s side, his Buddhist dust whisking down towards her head with a fierce swing, ready to shatter her into pieces.
