Chapter 404: Tower Release
"What happened?!"

"Why was Wang Mazi suddenly so seriously injured?!"

"Needless to say, it must be that Heavenly Master who is punishing him! This bastard dares to bully others without even looking at who they are..."

"Haha, I've disliked this bastard for a long time. He totally deserves what he has gotten into!"

……

On the street, people were pointing and talking as Wang Damazi, who was bleeding all over and struggling in pain on the ground, but no one came forward to help him. The air was filled with an atmosphere of gloating.

The village girl Liu Erya didn't seem to be too surprised that she had almost killed someone. She picked up the basket of steamed buns beside her and walked steadily to another place, while raising her voice to preach to the poor people around her who were looking at her with awe:
"Please remember this, my fellow believers! The person just now offended the Heavenly Lord and thus suffered such a fate! The Heavenly Lord loves all people, but will never allow anyone to blaspheme!"

"God is above!"

"God is above!"

……

Upon hearing this, the poor people who were eating steamed buns or waiting to eat steamed buns immediately put their hands together and bowed, then followed her to another place.

Afterwards, next to Liu Erya's stall, a young man and woman with extraordinary figures dressed in black and gold tights walked through the crowd, walked quickly to Wang Mazi who was about to die, squatted down, and checked his injuries.

"It was caused by a short sharp weapon. It seems that I was not seeing things just now."

Wu Xun just stretched out his hand and casually pushed Wang Mazi, who was twitching on the ground, twice, and made a judgment in a calm tone.

"Brother, there are many people in the Demon Sect who are good at flying knives and poison needles, but they seem to be quite different from what we just saw."

Yang Qingqing on the side also chimed in, with suspicion in her eyes. She couldn't help but turn her head slightly to look at a village girl who was carrying a basket and moving her position not far away, as if she was hesitating whether to take the risk and capture this strange woman immediately.

"Don't worry, Junior Sister. You should be able to see that she has no cultivation at all. She relies on several magical weapons that can attack the enemy on their own to defend herself. Such magical weapons should only exist in real big sects. Therefore, she must have a huge person to rely on. We must not act rashly. We must first find out her background."

Wu Xun immediately spoke out to stop her brewing impulse and explained the key point.

"But brother, it would be terrible if she was sent by the Demon Sect! We can't let the Demon Sect take root here!"

Yang Qingqing still felt something was wrong when she heard this, mainly because she was well aware of the harm of the Demon Sect. Even at the risk of danger, she had to stop its spread and not let innocent civilians fall into the Demon Sect's trap.

"Haha... Junior Sister, please rest assured. I have already sent people to keep an eye on them. They can't cause much trouble."

After Wu Xun answered, he stood up and instructed the two Fengxue Tower disciples who were waiting nearby:
"Send this body to the charity cemetery for disposal. Be careful, his blood is poisonous. Don't get contaminated with it."

After saying that, he walked towards Liu Erya, and Yang Qingqing had no choice but to follow him.

At the same time, on a rooftop several dozen meters away from these people, Wang Zhifan, who was invisible and wearing a wind-hiding hat, observed the entire process.

"I never thought that Wu Xun and Yang Qingqing have already set their sights on my only believer. Should I say they are dedicated or are they a nuisance..."

The surprise in his heart had not dissipated yet, because he had expected that it would take at least three or four days for Liu Erya to attract the attention of Fengxue Tower. After all, no matter how small Hutou Town was, it was still a town with a population of tens of thousands. There was no reason for an ordinary woman to be noticed just for doing something small, not to mention that she was targeted by senior staff members Wu Xun and Yang Qingqing.

"Maybe someone picked a fight with the village girl earlier, and was killed instantly by the magic shadow dart I gave her, causing a small sensation? Attracting attention later? This is really the fault of the simple folk customs..."

He made this inference based on all the information he had just collected, and was thinking about how to proceed with the plan.

"Maybe the problem is not that big... This world is not the society I am familiar with. Everything here is based on strength. There is no government or law in the conventional sense. Liu Erya's wild behavior may be more conducive to the promotion of faith... I have already given instructions to Fengxue Tower, asking them to focus on maintaining stability. They will definitely not take the risk of confronting this relatively well-behaved outsider..."

After much thought, Wang Zhifan felt that the current situation was still under control. There was no core conflict between his main believers and the people in control here. This might even be a subtle opportunity to develop and strengthen his faith.

"In that case... I will arrange for the Black Tower to distribute benefits to believers in advance... People in this world all respect strength, and many people even choose to join the Demon Sect for this reason. If they know that becoming a believer of a certain existence can steadily increase their strength, what kind of chain reaction will occur... I am really looking forward to it..."

Having made the decision in his heart, Wang Zhifan, who was in invisible state, once again used his white-bearded old man's vest to convey the instructions from Tianzun to the spiritual world of believer Liu Erya.

As the messenger of the Heavenly Lord, he told Liu Erya that the Heavenly Lord admired her piety and hard work, and was very satisfied that she had gathered a group of new believers. Therefore, the Heavenly Lord would lower the holy tower tonight for those believers who were qualified enough to enter and take tests in order to win the Heavenly Lord's blessing.

After conveying this message, Wang Zhifan rushed directly to the quantum dream world to think about his own affairs. It was not yet time to actually place the dark tower.

Not long after he left, the sky in this world gradually darkened, and the cold moonlight replaced the afterglow of the setting sun. Liu Erya, who had just received the will of the Heavenly Lord's messenger, began to preach an important news to the believers who were still eating steamed buns around her:
"Dear believers! The great Tianzun will descend the holy tower tonight! To test our piety! Grant us grace! Those of you who truly believe in Tianzun, please be prepared and wait patiently!"

As soon as she announced the news, the believers around her were in an uproar and started discussing excitedly, asking her what the Holy Tower was and what the tests and gifts from the Heavenly Lord were specifically.

However, Liu Erya herself was not clear enough about this aspect. She could only answer that the power of Heaven was unfathomable and everything would be clear in the time, so everyone should not be anxious.

Also taking this news very seriously were the Fengxue Tower staff who had been keeping an eye on them. More specifically, Wu Xun and Yang Qingqing, who had just arranged for disciples to follow them and were about to leave when they suddenly heard the big news.

"Junior sister, have you ever heard of the Holy Tower of the Demon Sect?"

At this moment, on a rooftop under the moonlight, Wu Xun looked at Yang Qingqing beside him with a serious expression, worried that the things they were concerned about were becoming increasingly uncontrollable.

"I have indeed heard of it, but no master of the Demon Sect has ever confirmed it personally... Could the Holy Tower really exist? And can it also move its location?" Yang Qingqing was also very concerned about the news they had just received. After all, if what the other party said was true, the trouble they encountered this time was far beyond their ability to deal with. I am afraid that even if their master Xiong Tianli came in person, it would be of no avail.

"It's definitely not that serious... Hutou Town is just a small town with less than 100,000 people. It's even far inferior to our sect's Pingwu City. How can the Demon Sect's Holy Tower descend on it? That woman must be talking nonsense!"

Wu Xun then made his own judgment. Even though he had seen the strange things that the woman was carrying not long ago, he did not think that the other party could be so powerful.

More importantly, from their fragmentary understanding, the Demon Sect Holy Tower was a heavily guarded forbidden area, and there had never been any rumors that it could be moved, which made them even more confused.

"Junior sister, go back and rest first. I will wait here tonight. I must see what these people are up to!"

Wu Xun thought for a moment and then said to Yang Qingqing, his face looking quite determined.

But Yang Qingqing's curiosity was also aroused, and she immediately shook her head, indicating that she had the same idea.

"Brother, I'm not tired yet. Let me fight against the conspiracy of the Demon Sect with you! But we have to make all the preparations, such as writing a letter to the people in the building and to our master first..."

At this moment, she thought more comprehensively than Wu Xun. Although she was willing to face the risks, she also considered that if they encountered unexpected situations, the power behind them would be able to respond in time after they had problems.

In this way, the night in Hutou Town passed slowly amid the undercurrent.

Liu Erya is rallying the believers around her who are willing to follow her and preparing to enter the holy tower for the first time. Wu Xun, Yang Qingqing and others hiding in the dark are also making preparations to deal with this huge conspiracy that is obviously related to the Demon Sect.

Wang Zhifan himself has already been in the world where the quantum dream domain is located. With the introduction of the maintenance worker Ying, he strives to understand the principles and structure of this magical world in order to enhance his understanding of illusion and reality.

However, he did not forget his promise to his believers. After working for less than two hours, he gave instructions to Liu Erya again through the cross-world communication of the faceless statue, saying that the holy tower was about to descend and all of them could gather at the designated location.

"Dear believers! The holy tower will be located in the west of the town! Please follow me!"

At this moment, in Hutou Town under the cold moonlight, Liu Erya, who had been waiting for several hours, showed some excitement on her face. She led more than two hundred believers around her to the target location, forming a huge flow of people on the street where there were not many pedestrians at night.

Originally, she had not gathered so many people, and there were only fifty people before the moon rose. But for some reason, as it got darker, more and more people came. Many of them did not look like poor people, but claimed that they were moved by the Heavenly Venerable and truly believed in this supreme god, and they came over on their own initiative. Liu Erya had no choice but to accept them.

Two of them were actually Wu Xun and Yang Qingqing who had simply changed their clothes and disguised themselves. They each secretly sandwiched Liu Erya who was leading the way, and kept an eye on the movements and developments around them.

Obviously, Liu Erya did not realize that she had been surrounded by a group of fake believers, or she noticed it but did not think it was a problem, and Tianzun would help solve all the troubles in the details.

It is hard to say what the truth is. Wang Zhifan, who is far away in another world, noticed this abnormality through her but did not change his plan and was still ready to launch the Black Tower.

"It's better to use the devil scroll to project the black tower over there. It's a bit troublesome to go there in person."

Originally, Wang Zhifan was planning to temporarily return to the Wuji Sect world to place the black tower, but he thought of the magical item he possessed, the Demon Scroll, and the stable anchor point he had in the Wuji Sect world, so he took out the miniaturized black tower and set it up in detail, and then relied on the power of the Demon Scroll to accurately drop it across the world.

This behavior is undoubtedly extremely costly, but Wang Zhifan still decided to be willful for once. The reason is that if he insists on developing the way of faith, he will inevitably have to rely on such simple operations in the future. It is unrealistic to always expect the deity to come in person.

And it turned out that his attributes, which were so high that other players could not even imagine, could indeed afford such extravagance, allowing the miniaturized Black Tower to descend smoothly under the influence of the power of the Demon Scroll and the cross-border power of the Guest Token, following the guidance of Liu Erya, the stable anchor.

In Hutou Town on the other side, Liu Erya and more than 200 others saw this scene:
When they followed the mysterious village girl to the west side of the town, they were still wondering where the holy tower could be in this ordinary neighborhood. Then, amid the exclamations of the crowd, they looked up at the night sky above their heads and saw a tiny spire appear in the outline of the moon.

Then the size of the spire quickly enlarged in their field of vision, becoming larger than the Fengxue Tower at the east end of the town, and stopped very stably above their heads, hovering above Hutou Town, about fifteen meters high.

"God is above! We have arrived at the Holy Tower!"

The leader Liu Erya immediately showed fanaticism. She was the only true believer present and gradually developed into a fanatic with the favor of Tianzun. At this time, she was more excited than others to see the Holy Tower because it was a great proof of her faith.

"God is above!"

"God is above!"

"God is above!"

……

The other believers around her followed her lead and roared even more excitedly.

"What on earth is that thing in the sky?! Can the Demon Sect's flying boat be made into something like this?!"

Wu Xun, who was hiding among the believers, had a very solemn expression on his face. He did not think that this huge and oddly shaped existence that appeared in the night sky could be called a holy tower. Whether it was the color it reflected under the moonlight or the aura it emanated from, it made him feel a heavy pressure. He intuitively believed that it was closely related to the Demon Sect.

But the leader Liu Erya did not have as many thoughts as him. She quickly took the lead in praying to the Heavenly Venerable, praying that she would be chosen by the Holy Tower to enter and take the test.

When the voice of prayer reached the ears of Wang Zhifan who was far away in another world, Wang Zhifan began to control it remotely through the power of the devil scroll. He had already set up the mechanism of the black tower, thinking of selecting a small number of believers with the most true faith to go in and set an example, but when he found that Wu Xun and Yang Qingqing were also present, he decided to play a prank.

"You two, get in too!"

He was seen controlling the black tower to project a mysterious force, instantly transferring a total of twenty people in the crowd below, including Liu Erya, Wu Xun, and Yang Qingqing.
