Chapter 027 Demon
Inside the Demon-Subduing Tower, the light was dim. As soon as he entered, a young Taoist priest with a bruised and swollen face ran over. Upon seeing Yuanwu, he was so excited that tears were about to stream down his face. He cried out, "Uncle-Master Yuanwu, you've finally returned! If you hadn't come back, I would have been beaten to death in this Demon-Subduing Tower by those lawless demons!"
"Alright, alright, stop complaining to me!" Yuanwu glared at the young Taoist priest, annoyed. "Didn't you want to be transferred somewhere else for a while? You can leave now. He'll replace you starting today. Get out of here!"
The young Taoist priest, his face bruised and swollen, still couldn't believe it: "Uncle-Master Yuanwu, is what you're saying true?"
Yuanwu glared at him: "What, you don't want to leave? Then stay and continue guarding the Demon-Subduing Tower!"
"No, no!" The young Taoist priest shook his head repeatedly. "Thank you, Uncle Master, thank you, Uncle Master. This disciple will leave now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he ran out as if his life depended on it. Lin Fei was dumbfounded: "Aren't the demons in this Demon-Subduing Tower all sealed and suppressed here? How come this senior brother is in such a state?"
"Hehe, kid!" Yuanwu patted Lin Fei's shoulder with a grin. "It's true that magic power is sealed, but it's not a complete seal. Some of it is still retained. And although the guy locked up here can't go out, he can still move around inside this Demon-Subduing Tower. If that guy hadn't been crying to me every few days, making me so annoyed, I wouldn't have transferred you here!"
Lin Fei then realized that the demons imprisoned in the Demon-Subduing Tower still possessed a certain degree of mobility. Although they dared not kill the Jade Emperor Sect disciples, they could still give them a good beating to vent their resentment. Furthermore, since the Yuanwu guarding the Demon-Subduing Tower did not interfere, the disciples who frequently came to guard the tower were often left with bruised and swollen faces, or even broken arms and legs.
That's why Yuanzhen didn't directly reject Lin Fei's request to guard the Demon-Subduing Tower, because guarding the Demon-Subduing Tower was itself a severe punishment.
"Don't worry, I think you're a promising talent. If you have enough strength, staying in this Demon-Subduing Tower for three years will definitely yield more than you would in three years of cultivation outside. It won't be a waste of Junior Brother Yuanyi's hard work!" Yuanwu said meaningfully before walking upstairs.
It seems that Yuan Yi's intentions were not hidden from the bigwigs of the Jade Emperor Sect, including Yuan Wu. Three years later, it would be the time for the sect's grand competition. Yuan Yi proposed setting Lin Fei's sentence at three years, the purpose of which was self-evident.
Although the risks in this Demon-Subduing Tower are considerable, its benefits for improving one's cultivation level are self-evident.
"I live on the fourth floor. If you need anything, come up here to find me! Of course, if you get taught a lesson by these guys in the tower, I won't help you!" As he spoke, Yuanwu disappeared up the stairs and went upstairs.
……
"Phew, that damned Yama has finally made it up!" Just after Yuanwu went upstairs, a voice suddenly rang out from the darkness of the first floor of the Demon-Subduing Tower.
In the dimly lit Demon-Subduing Tower, pairs of eyes suddenly lit up, gleaming with an eerie light—these were the demons suppressed within the tower.
Previously, because Yuanwu was still here, these imprisoned demons did not dare to speak. But now that Yuanwu has come upstairs, these guys have immediately become arrogant.
"Hehe, the original kid ran away, but a new kid has come!"
"Kid, you saw what that kid looked like just now. If you don't want to end up like him, you'd better obey us from now on, or we won't let you off easily!"
"Young man, come over here and pay your respects to us, kowtow a few times respectfully, and let us see your sincerity!"
……
Mocking laughter rose and fell from the darkness. The demons imprisoned in the Demon-Subduing Tower ranged from the lowest-ranking soldiers to demon generals comparable to those at the Dharma Aspect Realm. They were imprisoned on the first to fifteenth floors. The floors above the fifteenth were for those who had committed numerous evil deeds.
These guys on the first level are just the lowest-ranking lower-level demon soldiers, equivalent to the cultivation level of humans at the Qi Opening Realm. Lin Fei naturally has no fear of them.
Faced with the threats from these demons, Lin Fei simply smiled and said loudly, "From today onwards, I will be in charge of guarding the first three floors of this Demon-Subduing Tower. If you all give me face, then let's get along well from now on. If you don't give me face and want to cause trouble here..."
At this point, Lin Fei gave a cold laugh: "Then don't blame me for being impolite to you all!"
"What?! You dare to spout such nonsense!"
"Good lad, you probably haven't seen how powerful we old men are!"
"Come here right now and kowtow and beg for mercy, or we'll break your legs when we get out!"
……
The demons on the first floor were shouting and yelling. In the dim light, Lin Fei could barely see that these demons were all locked in one individual cell after another.
The doors to these cells gleamed with a faint light, emanating from the dim light that filled the Demon-Subduing Tower.
The demons imprisoned in the cell, though their eyes gleamed with ferocity, as if they wanted to devour Lin Fei alive, recoiled as if electrocuted when they touched the iron door of the cell.
Clearly, the cell door held immense power over these demons. They were unable to escape from within.
"Let's talk about it when you're able to get out!" Lin Fei curled his lips, not having time to deal with these blustering but cowardly guys anymore. He simply sat cross-legged in the center of the first floor of the Demon-Subduing Tower.
"You little brat, how dare you look down on us old men!"
"You just wait, you brat! Once we get out of here, you're in for a world of hurt!"
"Damn brat, stop pretending to be deaf and dumb, answer me now!"
……
The demons locked in the cells continued to clamor, but Lin Fei ignored them and began to cultivate in peace.
"Ding!"
"Host detected to have entered cultivation. Would you like to use merit points to increase cultivation speed? (Current merit points: 170. Activating double cultivation speed costs 20 merit points per hour; activating triple cultivation speed costs 50 merit points per hour… activating ten times cultivation speed costs 500 merit points per hour.)"
……
"Activate ten times cultivation speed!" Lin Fei had accumulated quite a few merit points, so he didn't hesitate to activate ten times cultivation speed and begin cultivating.
