Chapter 727: 722, The Worst is Actually the Smiling Person (First Update) It’s gone.
All gone.
His months of hard work all destroyed in an instant.
Is He Nian crazy? Risking his life just to ensure my discomfort.
That was an opportunity to open the Fourth Meridian Gate, leading to Spirit Body Perfection and beyond.
At that moment, a voice suddenly sounded in He Nian’s ear.
"He Nian, why are you doing this?"
As the words fell, the sky inexplicably turned dark.
Clearly, there was no sun in this place, so how could there be night?
Long Ye suddenly saw someone appear out of the darkness in front of He Nian, as if crossing from another world. He grabbed He Nian’s shoulder with one hand, and pressed directly on He Nian’s burning meridian gate with the other.
"Seal!"
Bam!
With a crisp sound, He Nian’s third meridian gate was sealed, sinking into his chest and disappearing.
The second, first meridian gates were also sealed in succession.
This scene shocked Long Ye immensely; sealing meridian gates even within the same realm, how terrifying were the opponent’s methods?
He recognized this person as Tian Mu of Prince Longyang’s faction.
Yet, Tian Mu stood in the dark, and the gentle smile on his face was no more, as if it had never existed. It was replaced by cold indifference, akin to the surrounding darkness.
"Tian Mu, great job!" Long Ye praised, regardless of Tian Mu’s appearance, at least he spared the Demon Spirit Pool from destruction.
But Tian Mu ignored Long Ye, only coldly gazing at He Nian, "He Nian, aren’t you grateful I saved you?"
With his meridian gates sealed, He Nian hung like a helpless chick. He gave a bitter laugh, spat out blood threatening to overflow, "You couldn’t resist helping the Long Family, if the He Mansion knows, if Prince Longyang knows..."
Tian Mu interrupted He Nian, saying, "No, I’m helping you."
"Ridiculous!" He Nian sneered, "Do you know what happens to me if Long Ye succeeds? If the pool survives, living is worse than dying for me."
"I can’t reason with you, fine, let me speak in another capacity. How about the Dark Night Concealing the Heavens Tower?" Tian Mu’s expression suddenly turned fierce.
He Nian and Long Ye were both stunned.
The Dark Night Concealing the Heavens Tower was taboo in Heaven-Gazing Gorge.
Many people dislike mentioning it because it represents evil too starkly.
At the same time, it represents no bottom line, no principles, and even no emotions.
In the battlefield, most of the enemies are from the Dark Night Concealing the Heavens Tower, and no one likes engaging them, including Earth Unrestricted Experts.
"You’re from the Dark Night Concealing the Heavens Tower!" Long Ye exclaimed, recalling his previous trust in Tian Mu, a chill ran down his spine.
"Yes, the Dark Night Concealing the Heavens Tower controls everything." Tian Mu looked at He Nian again, fixedly on his dual eyes, "Follow me, how about it? Fight for your freedom, for your own life. Instead of like now, where the He Mansion treats you as a disposable pawn. Those people at the He Mansion, once they achieve their goals, don’t care what you think or what you’ve done, even your life is negligible."
"I..."
He Nian fell silent.
Yes, he felt disgruntled.
Yet ultimately, he succumbed to fate, choosing to walk the path where the He Mansion dictated life or death.
If those he pledged allegiance to don’t care about his life and what he’s accomplished, then what is the point of his loyalty?
Tian Mu seemed aware of what He Nian was thinking, hurriedly said, "This pool of demons can help us open the Fourth Meridian Gate. Follow me, and I’ll assist you in opening the Fourth Meridian Gate, how about it?"
"He Nian, the Dark Night Concealing the Heavens Tower is our arch-enemy, how many of our friends have died at their hands? He’s deceiving you, don’t trust his words, clear your mind!" Long Ye immediately lunged towards Tian Mu.
Bam!
Unrivaled Killing Intent - Second Fury Realm, unleash!
A blood-red mist spread, Long Ye gathered the Giant Axe, leapt into the air, descending from heaven.
Tian Mu threw He Nian to the people behind him, suddenly merged into the darkness, reappearing in the sky above Long Ye.
"Dark Night Concealing the Heavens!"
Long Ye wasn’t encountering the Dark Night Concealing the Heavens Tower’s School Vein Skill for the first time, immediately transformed the Blood Axe into a shield, turned to meet Tian Mu’s descending slash.
Boom!
Long Ye struck directly into the ground, but fortunately, the shield blocked and he suffered no injuries.
"Long Ye, since I’m already exposed, why not give you a chance too? Join the Dark Night Concealing the Heavens Tower."
Tian Mu slowly descended, his long knife emitted thick black qi, looking exceptionally sinister.
"No wonder you love to appear at night, turns out you like dreaming!" With that, Long Ye attacked Tian Mu again.
Despite ten continuous moves, no matter how Long Ye tried, Tian Mu used the Dark Night Concealing the Heavens Tower’s School Vein Skill, Dark Night Concealing the Heavens, to leave Long Ye battered and bruised. Previous experiences battling Tower experts were useless.
Because Tian Mu traversed the darkness with such high frequency, he would shift with one or two moves, launching unexpected attacks.
