Ling Xi shook her head. “I’m fine. I’ll be alright after resting for a while.”
“But now Divine Capital City has been occupied by Soul Devouring Venerable. It’s too dangerous for us to stay here.”
Ling Yue said worriedly. “Soul Devouring Venerable will soon send people to hunt us down.”
Everyone heard this, and their expressions became even more grave. They knew Ling Yue was right. With Soul Devouring Venerable’s personality, he definitely wouldn’t let them go.
“I have a suggestion.”
Ling Xi suddenly said. “I can take everyone to the Eighth Heaven. That’s the territory of the Divine King Palace. No matter how powerful Soul Devouring Venerable is, he wouldn’t dare act recklessly there.”
Everyone heard this, and a glimmer of hope flashed in their eyes.
The Eighth Heaven was a place everyone aspired to. Who wouldn’t want to climb to higher worlds?
Moreover, the Divine King Palace in the Eighth Heaven was extremely powerful. Even if Soul Devouring Venerable recovered to his peak strength, he might not dare to cause trouble there.
“But Fourth Hall Master, your injuries.” Wu Hao said worriedly.
Ling Xi shook her head. “My injuries are not light, but I can still force open a spatial passage. However.”
Ling Xi paused, a troubled expression on her face. “However, with my current strength, I can only open a narrow spatial passage at most, and it can only transport a few people at a time. To send everyone to the Eighth Heaven, it will take a long time.”
Everyone heard this, and the hope on their faces dimmed again.
They now had hundreds of people. If only a few could be transported at a time, it would require many trips.
During this time, Soul Devouring Venerable was very likely to have already sent people to hunt them down.
“What should we do?”
Zi Yuan said worriedly. “We can’t just stay here waiting for Soul Devouring Venerable to come and kill us, can we?”
Everyone fell silent. For a moment, the valley was filled with an atmosphere of despair.
Just then, Chen Ping suddenly thought of something.
“I have a way!”
Chen Ping suddenly said.
Everyone looked at Chen Ping, their eyes full of doubt.
Chen Ping smiled slightly and took out a small, black tower-shaped magical treasure from his storage ring.
“This is.” Ling Xi looked at this black small tower, a flash of surprise in her eyes. “Could this be the legendary Demon Suppressing Tower?”
“That’s right. This is the Demon Suppressing Tower.” Chen Ping said with a smile. “This tower not only can be used to suppress demons, but it also has a special function.”
“What function?” Everyone asked curiously.
“The flow of time inside this tower is different from outside.”
Chen Ping explained. “One day outside is a hundred days inside the tower. Everyone can enter the tower to cultivate. This way, you can recover from your injuries quickly.”
Everyone heard this, and a flash of shock appeared in their eyes.
One day outside, a hundred days inside the tower. This was simply too unbelievable! If they entered the tower to cultivate, they only needed a few days to recover from their injuries, and they could even improve their strength.
“This. Is this true?” Ling Xi asked in disbelief.
Chen Ping nodded. “Of course it’s true. The flow of time inside the tower is indeed different from outside.”
“Great!”
Ling Yue said excitedly. “This way, we don’t have to fear Soul Devouring Venerable! Once we recover from our injuries, even if Soul Devouring Venerable comes, we won’t be afraid of him!”
Everyone heard this, and excited smiles appeared on their faces. They finally saw hope.
“Everyone, hurry and enter the tower.”
Chen Ping said with a smile. “I’ll guard outside for everyone.”
Everyone nodded one after another. Under Ling Xi’s lead, they entered the Demon Suppressing Tower one by one.
Watching everyone enter the tower, Chen Ping breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew that what he needed to do now was to guard outside for everyone and wait for them to recover from their injuries.
Time passed day by day. In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
