Evil Emperor Zun

Chapter 698 Time Clock Tower
In a barren mountain and wilderness that has not been cultivated for a long time, many people's heads suddenly gathered in darkness this day.Everyone was looking forward to it, looking up at the building in front of them that was several stories high, and there were endless private discussions in amazement.

The Clock Tower of Time was born as scheduled on the prophesied day.

The most bizarre thing is that many people came here a few days ago just to see how this secret place of time will appear out of thin air.But even if they stared at the open space without blinking, what remained in their memory was still a blank space.

The time they spent, at the moment when the time clock tower rose from the ground, seemed to be temporarily stagnant.Not only one person is like this, ten people, dozens of people are all like this.At least for those who have experienced it, they will no longer doubt the great power of time contained in this building.

What the latecomers saw in front of their eyes was only the majestic spire soaring into the sky, as if it had stood here since ancient times.Amidst the echoes of the crowd, a new veil of mystery was cast over the clock tower of time.

At this time, the surface of the steeple is still covered with a faint barrier, which means that the bell tower has not yet been completely opened.According to the prophecy, at noon, the barrier will be removed by itself, and the gate at the bottom of the tower will be opened, allowing treasure hunters from afar to enter.

Several people tried to attack, but no matter how they tried their best, the psionic energy that fell on the barrier would dissipate without a trace as if absorbed.Fortunately, this enchantment seems to be only for protection, and has no counterattack effect.After confirming that the attack was fruitless, everyone settled down.While waiting for the arrival of noon, at the same time, due to the large number of forces present, those who have known each other in the past will gather together to chat.

"The Clock Tower of Time is so terrifying in the legend, what do you think will be inside?"

"Since it is the secret place of time, it is naturally related to time. Maybe after you enter, your life will come to an end in an instant, and you will become an old man who can't straighten up. Or maybe your time will quickly go backwards, and you will always Go back to before you were born—that is to say, from now on, there will be no more of you in this world..."

"Oh my god, it's so scary! I don't want to die! Is it too late for me to go back now?"

"Haha, idiot, the movement of time is part of the law of the Dao. Anyone who reverses time without permission will be punished. How can there be a place where life can be taken away casually—"

Having said that, as the time limit approached, the fear in the hearts of many people with low cultivation bases continued to rise.Compared with the expectation of Time Treasure, what they are more worried about is whether they can keep their own life in the fierce competition...

Ye Shuo, Feng Qiu, and Bai Yun were also mixed in the crowd, looking around vigilantly, quickly making judgments about the strength of the enemy and ourselves.The combination of one level of qi, one level of cultivation, and one level of strength is roughly considered to be at the upper-middle level here.However, that's all.

"There is one thing, I am actually very concerned about it." Looking around for a week, Feng Qiu said coldly.

"Where is the client who issued the team task? Why didn't he join us?"

When the three of them arrived at the mercenary union to gather as promised, according to Feng Yu, the client and the other partners who took over the task had already gone to the Clock Tower of Time.However, how to meet up at the mission location is not detailed.As for part of the commission, it was paid to them honestly.

Although the three of them were full of doubts, but now that the time limit was approaching, it was inconvenient to delay too much, so after a few pleasantries, they said goodbye and set off.

"But at the end of the day, that person was still timid, so he retreated?" For Ye Shuo, his purpose of coming here was just to take the opportunity to comprehend the law of time. As for whether he could find the treasure of time, and He didn't care at all whether he had companions by his side, and he just said it casually at this time.

Feng Qiu's eyebrows were still furrowed: "If this is the case, this task should be cancelled. I always feel that there is something weird. On the plus side, he wants to use us to go in as a striker. Worse, the result is extremely dangerous. There may be another conspiracy..."

After a short pause, he lowered his voice: "Deliberately use the mission as a bait to gather everyone in the Clock Tower of Time..."

But for the ultimate goal of the person behind the scenes, it is also difficult to guess.After all, when spreading the news, the other party has no way of knowing which forces will move after hearing the news, and it is even more impossible to accurately predict who will come in the end.If it is the loss of one or two representatives, it will be difficult to shake the foundation of each sect. What is the point of such a clean sweep?
"In short, after entering, we must be more vigilant. If something goes wrong, we will immediately exit!" Feng Qiu finally made such a decision.

Ye Shuo and Bai Yun looked at him and nodded.

Fear, fermented over time.Just when the noise of the crowd reached its peak, a scream of shouting and cursing suddenly came from the front of the team.

"A group of cowards, you'd better get all of them back! Otherwise, if anyone blocks my way, I will never show mercy!"

The person who opened the mouth was a young man with gorgeous clothes. His face was so exquisite that it was almost suffocating. However, such beauty was extremely aggressive, and there was a sharp sense of oppression in his eyes.There are several gorgeous feathers floating on the back of the head, arranged vertically, each of which is raised high, exuding a high-spirited fighting spirit.The fiery red robe with intricate and colorful patterns made him look like a noble fire phoenix.

This person is the Fire Phoenix King Bei Zeyi.According to the rumors, he was very impatient, and every word he said was like a series of bullets.His purpose in this trip to the clock tower of time is very simple, that is to get the most mysterious treasure of time.

Originally, he wanted to invite Ruan Shi, the demon king of Vientiane, to go with him. If the two could cooperate, it would be even more certain to win the treasure.But Ruan Shi didn't know what to do during this time, he only reasoned that a big person entrusted him with a mysterious mission, which was much bigger than everything in the outside world, so forgive him for being difficult to separate.

Bei Zeyi didn't believe it in his heart. After all, Ruan Shi could recognize the important person, besides Raksha Ghost Emperor, who else would he be?And if the Rakshasa Ghost Emperor, how could he give up this opportunity to obtain the most precious treasure of the time?Anyway, he is probably fascinated by some beautiful woman, forget it, when he gets the treasure, he will show it off in front of him, and then let him regret it——

Coming alone, and meeting this group of cowards again, although the weaker the enemy is, the more beneficial it is for him, but they are all noisy behind, but it can also be heard to make people feel upset.Bei Zeyi was already impatient, but finally couldn't help but scold him.

On such occasions, there are always a few cannon fodder who seek their own death.At this time, someone really didn't recognize Bei Zeyi, and blurted out: "Who do you think you are? It's not your house that opened the Clock Tower, so why can't we enter?"

In Bei Zeyi's icy eyes, a hideous look flashed in an instant.Backhand flicked his sleeves fiercely: "Then you come and try!"

Like a huge wave, the person who spoke was so shocked that he vomited blood and flew backwards, smashing a deep hole on the ground several feet away.The facial features were sunken, crowded into a mass of blood and flesh, and only a few teeth remained in the mouth, and he had already lost consciousness.

"Remember, this world will always belong to the strong!" Bei Zeyi rolled up his robe sleeves, and looked at the provocateur who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, with contempt in his eyes.

Although many people were disgusted with his ruthless methods, but the opponent's prestige was outside, and his strength had reached the sky-reaching level early. Anyway, the injured person was neither related nor related to him, so there was really no need to touch this bad luck.In the silence, Bei Zeyi was even more self-satisfied, his head and neck raised proudly, and his peacock-like gorgeous feathers swayed in the wind.

"Nephew Kitazawa's words are really good, and I agree." A deep voice suddenly sounded.The team at the rear dispersed spontaneously, and a burly, middle-aged man in heavy gold armor walked quickly, with a mighty face, not angry and majestic.Although there was a smile on his face, the coercion that was not weaker than others poured down like mountains and seas.

"Hmph, here comes a tricky guy..." Bei Zeyi squinted his eyes slightly, and according to the etiquette, he gave him a simple fist: "Shan Leopard King, my nephew is polite."

After showing off his arrogance, he had no choice but to be pushed down by him. The opponent stepped on his head without any effort, and gained the attention of the audience.Looking at the Mountain Leopard King who nodded and smiled in satisfaction, Bei Zeyi secretly hated him.

The Mountain Leopard Clan and the Fire Phoenix Clan have always been at odds with each other.But in terms of overall strength, after all, the brave Mountain Leopards are even better.For this reason, in many times of resource scrambles, the Fire Phoenix Clan fell behind, which made the hidden rift between the two parties even deeper.

That's why I blame Ruan Shi... Why are you giving me excuses at this time!Bei Zeyi cursed inwardly.At this time, the Mountain Leopard King had already approached him with steady steps, his voice slightly lowered.

"So for the treasure hunting later, everyone will rely on their own strength, and the loser...don't blame others?"

A cold smile appeared on Bei Zeyi's face.The same is true for you... Mountain Leopard King!

Not long after, two more figures emerged out of the crowd.A man and a woman, both of them are of the best appearance.But what attracts everyone's attention at this time is not their appearance, but the powerful demonic energy that entangles them.

To be able to exude such a devilish energy, apart from their own strength, most of them can only be possessed by those noble blood in the demon clan.And this also means that before anyone has the confidence to fight against the entire Demon Race, they have to weigh more if they want to take action against them.

The young man had long hair shawl, the upper half was light brown, and the lower half was scarlet red. He was dressed in light armor, with a noble temperament and natural majesty.He is the fire scorpion demon Zhong Shangyan, who was ordered to be Princess Guanxuan's guard.At this time, they clasped their fists and bowed to the two demon kings respectively: "Fire Phoenix King, Mountain Leopard King."

The Mountain Leopard King returned the salute upright, Bei Zeyi was unhappy in his heart, glanced at Zhong Shangyan, and said coldly and sarcastically: "After the resurrection of the Six Royal Demon Kings, don't all of you demons want to go to heaven? Why? Now, why bother to be hypocritical here!"

Zhong Shangyan maintained a polite smile: "From the junior's point of view, whether there is a war or not is the meaning of the superior. But if the two clans maintain peace for a day, the junior should respect the king of the monster clan."

Guan Xuan who was beside him poked her head out curiously, looked at Bei Zeyi, and said with a smile: "Why tell him so much? I think he can't beat my elder brother Liu Yu, he will only use his tongue here! "

Bei Zeyi's face twitched slightly: "...Brother? Are you a Geng this year?"

Guan Xuan was furious when she heard the words, she jumped up and wanted to rush out and beat him.It seems that as a young girl, no matter whether it is a human or a demon, it cannot bear the humiliation of age.If it hadn't been for Zhong Shangyan to stop him, I'm afraid that a good show of fighting monsters would be staged in front of everyone.

The Mountain Leopard King secretly sneered, and clasped his fists at Zhong Shangyan and said: "This little friend of the Demon Race, please convey my greetings to Brother Liuyu on my behalf."

For thousands of years, the Six Royal Demon Lords have always been the most influential rulers among the demon clan.Of course, what he is famous for all over the world is the brutal iron-blooded conquest method.The Mountain Leopard King is indeed afraid of the Six Royal Demon Lords, so he must try his best to repair the two envoys of the Demon Race, not just to provoke Bei Zeyi.

Zhong Shangyan saluted back: "It's easy to say."

Just as everyone greeted each other, the enchantment in front of the time clock tower finally dissipated quietly.The two doors at the bottom of the tower were also opened inch by inch.The heavy creaking sound brought a dusty sense of the times.Everyone stared intently, and it took a long time before they seemed to come back to their senses suddenly. A burst of cheers broke out suddenly, and the crowd poured into the bell tower like a boiling tide.

But at this moment they don't know that what awaits them ahead will be hell...

……

Stepping into the interior of the bell tower, time and space seem to be shifted, and everyone feels a short-term sense of imbalance at this moment.Even the power of law they sensed has subtle changes.

After calming down the restless spiritual power, everyone had time to carefully look at the layout of the clock tower.

Surrounded by crystal blue marble, it looks like an exquisite glass house at a glance.There are two rows of stairs on each side. From the location of the hall, you can see the circular corridor on the second floor.

And in the middle there is an extremely narrow and long stone steps, leading to the top of the minaret.At the end of the stone steps, there is a huge clock, with words symbolizing the twelve hours engraved on it, and a short pointer inside, which is naturally still at the moment.

In addition, the entire bell tower is empty and unobstructed, which makes the crowd who are full of enthusiasm for treasure hunting feel a little bit overwhelmed for a while.

"This place is so empty, where is the treasure hidden?" After a moment of silence, someone asked tentatively.

"By the way, what exactly is the treasure?" More people looked at each other in blank dismay. Although they knew that the treasure of time was hidden here, what form would the treasure be in?If they can't even confirm this point, how should they find it next?
The sunlight slanted in through the narrow window above, lingering on the bodies of everyone in the hall, casting faint shadows.In the depths of the shadow, there is a bottomless darkness.
