Serpent Ancestor

Chapter 145: Pagoda out of control, no one can stop it

"What?"

Everyone was taken aback.

Zhang Tie immediately stood up, his body swelling into a giant iron-skinned figure thirty meters tall. The iron hammer in his hand also expanded rapidly, resembling a small mountain.

He swung the massive hammer towards the Black Dragon Pagoda.

"Boom!!!"

A deafening sound echoed through the heavens and earth.

The moment his hammer touched the Black Dragon Pagoda, an immense force seeped out from within the tower, striking the hammer.

"Watch out!" Xu Qingfeng shouted.

Zhang Tie's hand exploded instantly, shattering into pieces.

The giant hammer showed cracks and flew back, crashing into the mountain with a thunderous noise, causing many to be injured, bleeding from their heads.

"How is this possible?"

"What kind of Magical Treasure is this?"

Everyone was in disbelief.

That was a third-tier Spiritual Treasure, the Star-shattering Hammer, a treasure Zhang Tie had refined for a lifetime, nearly reaching mid-tier third grade, yet it was so easily repelled!

"So... so powerful!" Xiao Chou was stunned.

Everyone was breathing heavily; this was undoubtedly a supreme treasure, ranking among the top in the entire Qin Kingdom.

Zhang Tie waved his hand, and the Star-shattering Hammer returned to him. Looking at the cracks, his heart ached as if bleeding, but his face grew darker.

At this moment, the Black Dragon Pagoda whirled and charged towards the crowd.

"Retreat quickly!" Xu Qingfeng shouted.

A "retreat" character appeared above everyone's heads, and they uncontrollably flew back, avoiding the direct attack, though many were still crushed by the edge of the aura, spitting blood and severely injured.

Xu Qingfeng's face was ashen. He took out an ancient scroll, unfurled it, and it emitted a terrifying wave, but his expression suddenly froze, and he put the scroll away.

"Boom!"

The Black Dragon Pagoda soared into the sky, colliding with the firmament, blocked by an invisible light screen, causing ripples.

The Silver-haired Witch flew into the air, gazed at the Black Dragon Pagoda, and raised her slender jade finger to point down.

The space around the Black Dragon Pagoda began to warp.

"Forget it!"

Xu Qingfeng raised his hand, pressing down the Silver-haired Witch's arm, and the spatial distortion disappeared.

The Silver-haired Witch looked at him in confusion.

"Withdraw the formation and let it leave," Xu Qingfeng said solemnly.

Everyone was stunned.

"Why? The Dragon Qi is clearly inside the tower, and it has harmed so many of us!"

Zhang Tie was unwilling. They had fought their way into the Mountain Movers Sect, risking so much and sacrificing so many brothers, only to retreat now?

The Silver-haired Witch calmly said, "I can..."

"No, you can't."

Xu Qingfeng shook his head and explained, "This is the leader's decision."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

The leader was the mastermind behind the scenes, and every action they took was under the leader's guidance, helping them avoid crisis after crisis.

This attack on the Mountain Movers Sect was also arranged by the leader.

The leader's weight in their hearts was unmatched, and they obeyed unconditionally.

"Since it's the leader's decision, I, Zhang Tie, have no objections."

Zhang Tie sighed, his giant body quickly shrinking back to normal size.

Everyone simultaneously formed hand seals, and the formation barrier trapping the area dissipated immediately.

The Black Dragon Pagoda ascended into the sky, flying towards the horizon at an incredible speed, transforming into a black streak of light, disappearing into the night.

Xiao Chou also used the Earth Escape Technique to leave the area.

Everyone immediately began healing.

Xu Qingfeng landed on the ground, probing deep into the earth's veins, discovering that the half spiritual vein had indeed withered.

"It seems we've made wedding clothes for others, losing the two biggest gains," Xu Qingfeng said bitterly.

"Damn it, who on earth is inside that tower?"

Zhang Tie was still indignant.

He absolutely obeyed the leader's orders, just didn't understand.

"Perhaps, it's not a person," Xu Qingfeng said.

"Not a person?"

Everyone looked over, full of doubt.

"I'm just guessing; ask the leader for specifics," Xu Qingfeng said helplessly.

"Amitabha! The leader's judgment has never been wrong, we just follow," Ku Xuan chanted with hands clasped.

After all, they didn't leave empty-handed; the Mountain Movers Sect's accumulated wealth over countless years was no small amount.

Xiang Fei smiled and said, "No matter what, we gained a lot this time; after all, it's a major sect... huh, where's Han Te?"

Xiang Fei looked around but couldn't see Han Te.

"Could it be, he ran off when the formation opened?" Zhang Tie's eyes widened.

While they were fighting, Han Te was busy collecting Magical Treasures, stealing Storage Bags, and looting various treasure vaults, and then just slipped away?

Most of the Mountain Movers Sect's treasures were with him.

Xu Qingfeng said nothing, just squeezed a "corpse" on the ground hard.

"Ouch!"

The corpse suddenly screamed and was lifted up.

From the voice, it was Han Te.

Han Te shrank his neck, looked around, and quickly defended himself against the unfriendly gazes, "Hey, I didn't run away, I have professional ethics, I said I'd only take thirty percent, and that's all I took!"

As he spoke, he took out his previous gains and placed them on the ground.

For such a shameless person, Zhang Tie was so angry he wanted to punch his face.

Xu Qingfeng remained expressionless, just took out the contract, pointed a finger, and a dignified light enveloped Han Te.

Xu Qingfeng said loudly, "By the vow of the Dao heart, take out seventy percent."

Han Te's face stiffened but he was very straightforward, taking out seventy percent of his previous gains, filling the ground with Storage Bags.

The contract's light disappeared, confirming the seventy percent was correct.

"I need to explain, I was just playing dead earlier to avoid being discovered by that monster, I didn't run away with the money!" Han Te added.

"Monster?" Zhang Tie was puzzled.

At this point, Han Te stopped talking, coughed twice, and put on a mysterious air.

"Damn, this money-grubber! Obsessed with money!" Zhang Tie cursed, throwing a thousand Spirit Stones over.

Han Te took the Spirit Stones and naturally put them into his Storage Bag.

"Actually, your leader's decision was very wise. If you had intercepted it, your fate might have been the same as Xuan Yangzi's," Han Te said meaningfully.

Xu Qingfeng was startled and asked, "Why do you say that?"

Han Te said nothing, just patted his Storage Bag, causing everyone's faces to twitch.

…………

In the sky, the Black Dragon Pagoda was flying rapidly, as fast as a shooting star, faster than anyone Xu Hei had ever seen.

"Damn it! I can't stop it at all, where is this tower going?"

Xu Hei cursed inwardly.

After entering the Black Dragon Pagoda, his body uncontrollably merged into it. The tower not only absorbed Dragon Qi, a spiritual vein, and half an ancient pill furnace, but seemed to want to absorb him too.

It was as if he had become part of the Magical Treasure.

At this moment, it wasn't him controlling the Magical Treasure, but the Magical Treasure controlling him.

Xu Hei had never heard of such a situation.

The Moon-supporting Pagoda itself was a mid-tier third-tier Spiritual Treasure, the material of the ancient pill furnace was unknown, and it also contained Dragon Qi.

The grade of the Black Dragon Pagoda had reached an astonishing level, even Xu Hei didn't know the specifics.

What was certain was that with Xu Hei's weak cultivation, he couldn't possibly control it freely.

The Black Dragon Pagoda was moving on its own.

"This direction seems to be Myriad Serpent Valley?"

Xu Hei was stunned.

But he didn't have the energy to think; the tower was indeed refined by him, connected to his mind, but he had to take the initiative to control it.
