Chapter 174: The Story of Gu Tower Village, White Dragon and Black Dragon Emperor
It was 2:30 PM.
Inside the cultivation room.
Bai Yu circulated through three Great Heavenly Cycles, and the golden light spots within his body gradually subsided.
“My physique is indeed very strong now. After last night’s battle, my body has no major issues.”
“Of course, the Big Red Robe probably played a significant role too.”
Although the Big Red Robe was meant to enhance spiritual power, it was normal for such a top-tier treasure to also aid in physical recovery.
Just then, the doorbell to the cultivation room rang.
This must be Professor Yuan.
Opening the door, Bai Yu took a look.
Wang Wen and Grandmaster Wang Zhong were not present.
“Where is Grandmaster?”
“Grandmaster is also an impatient person and has already decided to refine pills.”
“Oh, oh, so are we going to Black Tower Village now?”
“Yes! The Black Blood Disease there has worsened again. And Clear Blood Powder alone cannot cure it. The key point is that the Black Tower they are guarding might have problems. If you go, you might be of great help.”
“Alright!”
The two had nothing to pack and immediately got into the car to head to Black Tower Village.
Black Tower Village is located to the northwest of Sancha River Town.
Heading north leads to the Chang’an Mountain area.
Bai Yu looked at the scenery of the mountains and forests outside, then at the one car in front and one behind.
The manpower seemed insufficient.
“Are we going with just this few people? Can we handle the Black Demon?”
“Of course, it’s not just this few people. Who plays their cards face up?”
“That’s true. How is the investigation of Chang’an Mountain going?”
“Chang’an Mountain has complex terrain, and you’re talking about the Underground River. Who knows how many secret passages the Sea Monster Clan has dug. By the way, you’ve obtained the Nine Revolutions Golden Yuan Pill yourself now, do you still have any other conditions?”
“I’ll see later. Anyway, I’ll help you catch them as much as I can. But, as you said, there’s no need to rush. I’ll look for them after I finish my cultivation, around the end of August, or early September.”
“Okay!”
If this were before, Yuan Guofeng would have been uncertain if Bai Yu had said this.
After all, it wasn’t that easy to catch them, and planning was definitely required in advance.
But judging by the abilities Bai Yu had displayed today, he could be reassured.
He had even started planning how to proceed after capturing the Shadow Spider Woman.
After driving for about three kilometers on the winding mountain road.
Everyone also saw buildings located on the mountainside from afar.
Especially the ten-story Black Tower on the mountaintop.
At this moment, Bai Ling’s voice echoed in Bai Yu’s Soul Sea: “Such heavy Evil Qi!”
Bai Yu: ‘Did you sense anything special?’
“There’s a problem with the seal on that Black Tower.”
‘Oh? A seal?’
“Yes, it should be sealing a great Demon. And it feels familiar!”
‘This is from the Tang Dynasty, possibly from your era.’
“Oh? Let Ling’er think carefully.”
Seeing this, Bai Yu quickly exchanged a few words with Professor Yuan Guofeng about the seal.
Yuan Guofeng nodded after listening, “Indeed, there’s a problem with the seal. But this kind of seal isn’t physical; it’s conceptual, or perhaps on a level we cannot touch.”
“We currently don’t have the ability to repair it.”
Hearing this, Bai Yu immediately asked, “Can you tell me about the specific origin of this Black Tower, or any myths related to it?”
“I heard from the people of Black Tower Village that a powerful demon was suppressed here. Originally, it was a black Dragon, but later it gained the Demonic Qi of the Black Demon Seven Sons, its strength greatly increased, and it called itself the Black Dragon Emperor.”
Black Dragon!
Bai Ling seemed to recall something and said, “Ling’er seems to have been injured by it and then forgot.”
Her voice sounded a little wronged.
Bai Yu quickly comforted her: ‘It’s okay, we’ll get it back for Ling’er! We’ll get revenge!’
While they were talking, the car arrived at Black Tower Village.
Black Tower Village has a population of only six to seven hundred. The patients are isolated in South Village, while others are in North Village.
Bai Yu quickly rushed to the open-air tents where the patients were housed.
He also saw the new Tower Guardian of the Black Tower – Gu Yu.
Several people from Black Tower Village who had met Bai Yu before had their eyes light up upon seeing him.
Bai Yu glanced at the Sakura Island people; these guys were still here.
At this moment, Gu Yu stepped forward, naturally intending to ask Bai Yu and Miyamoto Shinjo to cooperate in taking action.
Bai Yu did not agree immediately but looked at Yuan Guofeng.
Yuan Guofeng nodded and said, “You cooperate with me first to handle it, and then let him clear the remaining Evil Qi.”
“Alright!”
Without further ado, Yuan Guofeng made his move, beginning to guide the Evil Energy hidden within the patients’ Soul Seas, while Bai Yu rapidly absorbed it.
The Evil Energy of thirty patients began to pour into Bai Yu’s second, third, and fourth pages.
The processing speed this time was even faster.
Right after they finished, Miyamoto Shinjo stepped forward to cooperate.
The people from Gu Tower Village brought out special water, calling it Holy Water, to boil Clear Blood Powder.
Just when they thought everything was settled, Bai Ling said, “I remember now!”
‘Hmm? What do you remember?’
“At an intersection in Dragon River where Ling’er was, there was an ancient village. That black Dragon infected with Demonic Qi wanted to occupy this area, and that’s when the battle with me occurred. This ancient village has over a dozen villages, thousands of people, and strong Human Race cultivators. It seems they were the ones who created the seal.”
Hearing this, Bai Yu’s eyes lit up.
Bai Ling participated in creating the seal!
But then his expression immediately dimmed.
Gu Tower Village definitely didn’t have anyone capable of mastering the seal now.
The elder who passed away yesterday might have had some legacy.
But at this moment, a slightly piercing voice sounded.
A child around ten years old said indignantly, “Why are they only coming now?”
Gu Yu’s father, the elder who was in the hospital yesterday – Gu Yi, immediately looked at that family and gestured for them to take the child away.
Children speak their minds, so no one took it to heart.
After all thirty-odd patients were treated, Gu Yu naturally came forward to express his gratitude.
Bai Yu directly asked, “Can I go take a look at the Black Tower?”
Gu Yu hesitated: “This…”
Bai Yu looked confused: “Is there a problem with that?”
It was Gu Yi who stepped forward and said, “It’s just a leak in the seal, and the Demonic Qi is dense. However, for you all, it should be harmless.”
With that, he gave Gu Yu a look and then arranged for others to leave.
He then personally led Bai Yu and the others towards the mountaintop.
That group of Sakura Island people also followed.
Bai Yu walked alongside Yuan Guofeng and said, “Why do I feel the atmosphere in this village is strange? Have they all become Black Demons?”
“The reason you feel it’s strange is mainly twofold: first, they believe they have guarded the Black Tower their entire lives, which is a merit, so it’s only right for us to step in and provide treatment.”
“Second, this Black Tower is a demonic entity that can affect people’s will. Only the people of Black Tower Village have the most steadfast will and are unaffected. Outsiders are very likely to become Hosts for the Black Demon.”
Bai Yu: “…”
Yuan Guofeng’s voice was not quiet.
Any Cultivator could hear it!
Including Gu Yi.
It seemed he said it intentionally.
“Alright. I happen to have a White Dragon related to the story of this place, I wonder…”
Gu Yi indeed turned around, exclaiming in surprise, “You know of the True Dragon Lord?”
“???”
