In the lofty mountains at the junction of the southern border of the Great Yan Dynasty and the Great Wilderness, a towering towering giant tower lies between heaven and earth.

This is one of the sixteen "war fortresses" built by the entire sect at the end of the Great Demon Tribulation 10,000 years ago to prevent the return of the Strange Ghosts from the Great Wilderness.

Today, the traces of the remaining fifteen giant towers have completely disappeared in the world with the ten thousand years of time, and only the remaining one that has been transformed into its own mountain gate by the Prison Heaven Pavilion still stands in the world, allowing the cracks at the lower end of the tower to tell the devastation caused by the catastrophe of the year.

Overlooking most of the towering tower through the window lattice of the flying attic, Zhou Bowen, who was sitting alone in front of the window and sipping fragrant tea, couldn't help but show a touch of admiration in his eyes.

No matter how many times I have seen it, I will still be shocked by this ingenious creation.

The body of the tower is thick and majestic, and all kinds of complex formations are engraved on it, and countless giant flying beasts hovering on the side are like sparrows in front of it.

After quietly watching for more than ten breaths, Zhou Bowen slowly withdrew his gaze and sighed softly.

He remembered that it was recorded in ancient books that the site of the Jiantian Pavilion was also a giant tower 10,000 years ago.

A giant tower that is even more majestic and huge than the one in front of him, called Jiantian.

It's a pity that the old site has been burned to the ground in the strange ghost turmoil 10,000 years ago, but it was not destroyed by those strange ghosts, but in the man-made disaster that followed.

The thoughts in his heart lingered, but soon, Zhou Bowen's thoughts were interrupted by a sound that came into the attic.

"Elder Zhou has been waiting for a long time, and the pavilion wants to see you."

Hearing this, Zhou Bowen's divergent eyes suddenly froze, and the fat on his face trembled, and he looked in the direction from which the voice came.

As far as the eye could see, he couldn't see any figures, but on top of the dozens of zhang outer tower of the Qinghuang attic under him, Zhou Fatzi saw a deep road that was slowly unfolding.

The spiral-shaped stone door shrinks and opens, and a pitch-black corridor with a diameter of dozens of zhang comes into view.

As a former war fortress, there are many "air ports" for flying monsters to land on the middle and upper floors of the giant tower, and this corridor in front of you is obviously one of them.

As soon as the thought turned, the soul poked out, and the green phoenix bird under it immediately let out a loud cry, and then stretched its wings and slowly fell into it.

As soon as Zhou Bowen stepped down from the attic, a man wearing the uniform of a deacon of the Heavenly Pavilion greeted him, and his voice was respectful:

"Elder Zhou, your mount will take care of you, please here, Elder Liyang will take you to the top of the tower where the pavilion master is."

Zhou Bowen nodded slightly and followed the other party, and the small squinting eyes lit up with a ghostly light and swept around, and then there was a little surprise in it.

The layout of this dark corridor is somewhat similar to that of a stable.

It's just that it's much bigger than the mortal stable, and dozens of monsters used for war crouch in rows among the dark iron bars on both sides.

And Zhou Bowen remembered that there were dozens of layers in a tower like this in the giant tower.

Other words

In this giant tower alone, thousands of various demon beasts used in war have been stored

Thinking of this, a touch of helplessness flashed in Zhou Bowen's eyes.

With so many demon beasts of all kinds, what the pavilion master wanted to do was actually self-evident.

But after thinking about it, Zhou Bowen was also relieved.

Now that the entire Great Yan Dynasty is basically engaged in armaments, if you only care about money and materials, when the fight really starts, then you will be the granary of the adult family.

Thinking of these things in his heart, Zhou Bowen was soon led out of this corridor by the deacon of the Heavenly Pavilion, and after seeing the elder called Liyang, he turned around several times in the cumbersome layout of the giant tower, and finally came to the top of the tower after walking through a long spiral staircase.

A woman in a white dress is standing on the edge of the top of the tower and looking out into the north, her dress and long hair fluttering in the air with the cold current in the sky.

Side-eyed at the woman's slender back, and glancing at Liyang who was standing in place, Zhou Bowen asked in a low voice:

"Brother Liyang, aren't you coming?"

Li Yang shook his head slightly:

"The pavilion master only said that he wanted to see you, so Li took his leave first."

Speaking of which,

Zhou Fatzi watched the other party disappear at the top of the tower without looking back.

Smacking his lips, Zhou Bowen slowly stepped forward, came to the woman's back and stood still, took out the Lingtianyi from the Sumeru ring, offered it with both hands, and bowed deeply:

"Pavilion Master, this is what Venerable Taishi entrusted Zhou to return to you before he died."

“.”

Hearing this, Tianyuan slowly turned his eyes, and looked at the fat Mortal Elder behind him with a divine indifferent gaze, but did not speak.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Bowen felt a little sweaty in an instant.

Sometimes, the silent gaze can be more unsettling, especially if there are ghosts in people's hearts.

He had to come back again.

But fortunately, soon, Tianyuan's indifferent voice came:

"Failed?"

"Yes."

Zhou Fatzi lowered his head and stood still, but his heartbeat was quietly accelerating.

He was a little afraid that the pavilion master would give him a sentence at this moment, "Since you have failed, why are you still alive".

After all, the entire assassination operation can be said to be a complete failure.

It not only provoked the Xiangguo Mansion, but also damaged manpower, and even accelerated the process of catastrophe evolution in a sense.

As the only surviving Elder of the Prison Heaven Pavilion among the five assassins, he Zhou Bowen is undoubtedly the only person to be held accountable.

There was silence for a moment,

Zhou Bowen suddenly felt that his hand was empty, and the Spirit Heavenly Instrument was taken away from the air, and then Tianyuan's voice without any emotion came again:

"I expected this."

Hearing this, Zhou Bowen's lowered eyes instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the pavilion master, her old man, is not ready to be held accountable.

However, the words of his answer couldn't help but raise a trace of doubt in his heart.

It was expected

What do you mean?

With his brows furrowed slightly, Zhou Bowen slowly raised his eyes, looked at the pavilion master in front of him, who seemed to be unstained with the slightest mortal dust, and asked:

"Pavilion Master, do you know that we will fail this trip?"

Tianyuan looked at each other calmly, and his voice was light and gentle:

"The beginning of the catastrophe is a certainty, and if you want to change your life, it will be difficult."

Zhou Bowen's brows furrowed even tighter when he heard this, and after being quiet for a moment, he exhaled a breath of turbidity and said in a low voice:

"Since you know the result, why do you still have it?"

"It's an inevitable attempt."

"Just for one attempt, take three metamorphoses"

“.”

The gaze that did not contain any emotion made Zhou Bowen's heart tremble suddenly, and he quickly lowered his eyes and said in a low voice:

"Subordinates trespassing."

Tianyuan held the Spirit Heavenly Instrument in his hand, slowly turned around, and looked to the north again:

"Let's go down."

Zhou Bowen was slightly hesitant when he heard this:

"Pavilion Master. The specific process of this trip, as well as the catastrophe that evolved in the long sky, have not yet been reported by the subordinates. ”

Tianyuan looked at the distant heavenly dome and said softly:

"I'll summon you again after that, and she's about to arrive."

“.”

Zhou Bowen instantly understood when he heard this.

The holy woman was ordered to go to the imperial capital, but at this moment she disobeyed the order and returned, obviously for the assassination of Xu Changtian.

If one of his "murderers" happens to be bumped into by him, I am afraid that there will be a lot of chaos.

Thinking in his heart, Zhou Bowen bowed down and saluted again, and his fat figure disappeared in place in an instant.

All of a sudden,

At the top of the huge tower, once again, only the remnant and independent shadow of Tianyuan stood silently.

Time passed minute by minute, and half an hour later, a golden light came into Tianyuan's field of vision.

The light pierced the sky, and in an instant, it was above the top of the tower.

Standing in the void at the top of the giant tower, the girl looked at the indifferent master below, and the small tiger teeth bit the corners of her lips.

Relative Counting,

Tianyuan's light and soft voice sounded softly:

"Come down."

Tianyan didn't move when he heard this, he still stood in the void, his eyes in the golden pupils were extremely complicated, and he gritted his teeth and asked:

"Heavenly Garden,

"Why?"

“.”

Hearing this title, there was still no emotional fluctuation in Tianyuan's divine golden pupils.

The saint and the pavilion master are both acting on behalf of the heavens, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior, so they can call the master according to secular ethics, and they can also call him by his name according to the law of the heavens.

After being quiet for a while, Tianyuan did not deny it, and asked in a clear voice:

"Why do you think that?"

Tianyan's delicate body trembled slightly, and her crisp voice was low:

"The catastrophe is only a small part of the cause, and the beginning of the catastrophe does not mean that it must be the catastrophe itself."

Tianyuan looked at the tangled feelings on the girl's face, and his tone softened:

"I know about it."

Tianyan heard this, and his fist under his sleeve robe clenched slightly:

"If you know about this, why do you have to forcibly assassinate you?"

"You think I'm doing something wrong?"

Tianyuan's voice suddenly interrupted Tianyan's questioning, and the pair of divine golden eyes were like sharp swords, piercing Tianyan's heart: "If it's wrong, then tell me, what is wrong with my decision?" Saint's reasonable proposal, I will consider. ”

“.” Tianyan's breathing was slightly short, and Zhan Jin's pupils stared at the master below.

"It's not certain that the catastrophe itself started with the catastrophe, but if there's a chance, it's worth trying."

Tianyuan looked at the girl with a fluctuating chest, and her voice was as indifferent as snow: "Tianyan, our Heavenly Pavilion is not a place where children are loved, now your emotions can already influence your judgment, wait until you calm down and then come to find a teacher." ”

Speaking of which,

Tianyuan slowly turned around, dragged the waterfall-like white dress, and walked slowly towards the tower.

Looking at the back of the master, Tianyan, who was standing in the void, gritted his silver teeth violently and slowly closed his eyes.

In the next moment, a mysterious fluctuation spread out around her in an instant.

And as this fluctuation spread, the trembling of Tianyan's delicate body and the clenched fists were slowly soothed.

When he opened his eyes again, Tianyan's golden pupils were already as indifferent as Tianyuan's divinity.

The air waves surged, slowly falling to the top of the tower, Tianyan stared at the other party's back, and his voice was indifferent:

"Master, you just said that the calamity is only part of the cause, and the other part is because of me?

"Do you think that as long as I kill Xu Yuan, my feelings for him will gradually fade over time?"

Hearing this indifferent voice, Tianyuan's steps immediately paused, turned sideways slightly, looked at the golden-eyed girl behind her, and did not deny:

"With this in mind, I have reminded you that you need to solve the love word by yourself, and your identity and his identity are destined to have no result.

"Now that the foundation of my Heavenly Pavilion is rooted in the sect, if I want to survive and grow, then there is an irreconcilable conflict with the Prime Minister behind Xu Changtian."

Tianyan stepped forward slowly and said in a clear voice:

"Now that the catastrophe is coming, it is possible for my Heavenly Pavilion and the Prime Minister to cooperate."

"How likely do you think this is?"

Tianyuan's dress fluttered, raised his hand to pull a few strands of long hair behind his ears, and stared at the girl in front of him:

"And if that long heaven is really the calamity itself, what should you do?

"It's a traitor,

"Or kill him with your own hands?"

“.”

At the top of Haoran Tower, the cold wind whistled, and the two girls looked at each other silently.

And in this silence,

The bottom of Tianyan's indifferent pupils gradually emerged and wavered.

And with the appearance of this wavering, the mysterious fluctuations around Tianyan's body gradually dissipated, and the indifferent divinity in her eyes quickly changed back to her usual state.

The state of godlessness has been ruined!

Seeing this scene, Tianyuan instantly felt a trace of trickiness in his heart.

She found that she had miscalculated Tianyan's feelings for Xu Changtian.

This rebel now has a lot of affection for that long heaven, and he can't even suppress the godless state of the heavens.

Reason told Tianyuan that she should immediately dispose of this Tianyan variable.

If the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Prison rebelled against the enemy, it would be equivalent to Emperor Dayan making his own rebellion.

This, for the Heavenly Prison Pavilion's loss, would be immeasurable.

Unfortunately, the situation does not allow her to do so.

In this generation, only Tianyan has a holy woman who can inherit the position of pavilion master, and the coming calamity also requires a "Tianyan" to respond to the calamity.

Silent for a few breaths,

Tianyuan exhaled softly, his voice softened slightly, and the topic was opened:

"Tianyan, you didn't just want to ask why you were a teacher, right?"

The breaking of the state of godlessness made Tianyan suffer a little backlash, wiped the corner of her mouth and spilled a little blood, she stared at the master in front of her, and asked softly with a little hesitation:

"Is Xu Yuan still alive?"

Hearing this, Tianyuan glanced at the far north and said:

"The operation failed, and only one person survived."

Hearing this, Tianyan's eyes instantly flashed a sense of relief, but it was a little complicated immediately.

Xu Yuan survived, which instantly relaxed her heavy mood during this time.

But for the sense of belonging of the Prison Heaven Pavilion, this news made her a little hesitant.

During the assassination trip, the Prison Heaven Pavilion killed three mortals.

Tianyuan stared at the expression in Tianyan's eyes, and this time he was a little relieved.

At least, at least the saint is still far from being a traitor.

Thinking in his heart, Tianyuan said softly:

"This matter has been expected by the teacher."

Tianyan was slightly surprised when he heard this, and asked puzzledly:

"Since you know that you will fail, master, why?"

Tianyuan's voice was very soft, with a little seriousness:

"This is an attempt to end the catastrophe, and it is also a consideration for the future of the teacher.

"The loose control system of the Heavenly Prison Pavilion for the past ten thousand years has been built on the Heavenly Method, and now the future is no longer visible, and we need an external enemy now to unite the sects below."
