Based on the situation at hand, it seems that the five Taoist disciples of Shezhao were deceived by the elders and gave them fake keys, which made it impossible to open the door of the iron tower.
Looking at the jade hooks that had turned into powder in the hands of the five people, Xu Dao suspected that the breath-condensing jade hook in his hand was the man's key that could truly open the iron tower in front of him.
After all, he got the jade hook from the head of the Shezhao clan, and it was quite strange. It was not a magic weapon, but it was made of fine material.
"Why don't you go up and give it a try?" The thought in Xu Dao's mind jumped wildly.
But he squeezed the jade hook in his hand tightly and did not make any rash move. Even if he really wanted to try to open the door, it was not now.
You must know that there are still five Shezhao Taoist disciples blocking the door of the iron tower. These five are all late-stage Taoist disciples, and they are also suspected of having planted spiritual roots, which greatly increased their magic power.
Perhaps compared to him, if there were only one or two Taoists, Xu Dao could barely defeat them. But with five Taoist disciples, he had no chance of winning.
Xu Dao made up his mind: "Let's wait for a while. Either these people will retreat, or they will be eroded by evil spirits and go crazy and lose their minds. Then it's time for me to show up."
Whoosh! The evil wind was blowing all around, like a steel knife blowing across the ground and the Taoist disciples.
They screamed and saw that the keys in their hands were shattered one by one. They did not dare to stay in front of the tower for even one breath. They all moved quickly and staggered out of the evil wind.
All five people had extremely ugly expressions on their faces, looking at the tower with a hint of horror.
Someone among them spit out: "What should be done! The evil spirit leaking from this tower is getting stronger and stronger, and even as Zhu Daoyou said just now, sooner or later the entire Dragon Palace will be enveloped and turned into a desperate situation!"
"It's over, it's over! Is there a way out?" Others shouted in despair and frantically.
"Yes... when the evil spirit is completely lost, the formation covering the entire Dragon Palace will naturally become ineffective, and then we can leave!"
But after saying this, the five Shezhao Taoist disciples fell silent one after another.
As far as they knew, the Dragon Palace in front of them had existed for thousands of years. Although it was decayed and dilapidated, the formation inside relied on the spiritual veins and was still extremely powerful.
If the formation was broken, then the Taoist disciples who stayed in the formation would naturally have died long ago.
Xu Dao squinted at the five Taoist disciples and thought in his mind: "Didn't the Taoist priest who gave up the imperial edict say that someone would come out of the Dragon Palace? These people have received orders from the Taoist priests. Could it be that the only way to survive is to enter the tower?"
He looked at the five people walking back and forth like ants on a hot pot, jumping back and forth as if their feet were burning, and kept moving back, for fear of being blown by the expanding evil wind.
Xu Dao frowned and thought: "It seems that the Taoist priests may have only given them one way to survive." He also sneered in his heart at the same time.
Although the square iron tower in front of you is strange, even if it is opened, this thing is only a hundred feet tall. As long as it is not a magic weapon that can store living creatures, it is impossible to imagine that it can hold tens of thousands of people and keep tens of thousands of people alive.
Moreover, everyone else who entered the Dragon Palace was in a state of confusion. Even if they woke up and escaped from the mouth of the mirage, they would still be unable to reach the iron tower and enter it to survive.
In other words, these Taoist disciples were obviously in cahoots with the Taoist priests and deliberately used the lives of hundreds of thousands of other people to benefit themselves.
Xu Dao thought to himself that he was not a good person, but such a heartless person should really deserve to die!
Zizzi!
As the scope of the evil wind continued to expand, Xu Dao had to take a few steps back.
Seeing this, the five Taoist disciples who had given up the edict all had panic-stricken expressions on their faces, and they kept shouting: "What can I do?"
Among them, the old Centipede, who was familiar to Xu Dao, was more aggressive than the other Taoist disciples who gave up the imperial edict. He started to curse again: "A bunch of maids are giving birth to a child! How could I, Old Centipede, be tricked into coming here by these elders?"
"Isn't it good to finish building the foundation of the clan and then go to the Dao Palace to practice? Now that the dragon's flesh and blood are not obtained, his life will be lost!"
The old centipede stamped his feet and patted his thighs, howling loudly.
Seeing him like this, someone nearby sneered irritably: "Look at what you said, as if if you don't want to come, the elders will allow you not to come."
There was a lot of noise and the old centipede was still crying. The five people completely lost their Taoist demeanor and were no different from ordinary people.
There was even a faint sadness in their hearts. Mortals were still dreaming of life and death, and they might feel happy when they died, but they had to watch themselves approach death step by step.
Whoosh! The area covered by the evil wind has reached fifty or sixty feet.
The five Shezhao Taoist disciples were jumping around the circle like monkeys, with no intention of leaving. Xu Dao still held the jade hook, suppressing his thoughts, and did not show up to rush into the evil spirit.
"Woohoo!" someone shouted, feeling so nervous that he was about to break.
"Jie Jie!"
Suddenly, laughter rang out from the scene. The sound was overlapping, either dull or sharp, and not one person could make it.
This laughter made everyone at the scene startled and looked at each other in confusion. Finally, some of them discovered that the sound was coming from above their heads.
Someone immediately shouted: "Quick! Look up!"
When Xu Dao heard this, he also raised his head and looked up. When he saw something clearly, his pupils immediately shrank.
The Dragon Palace is hidden deep in the bottom of the lake, and is protected by formations around it, so that although it is full of moisture, there is no accumulation of water.
Therefore, around the Dragon Palace and on the top, there is a thick and deep layer of water, like a large bowl, covering all the large and small palaces in the Dragon Palace.
The iron chain stairs that had previously sent everyone into the Dragon Palace had already been withdrawn after putting down 100,000 people. The rivers separated by the Taoist priests had also closed up and made a huge roar.
This is also the reason why the five Shezhao Taoist disciples were so desperate just now that they couldn't think of a way to escape.
At this time, dozens of feet high above the iron tower, in the water layer that seemed to be about to be pierced by the tower's tip, there were huge figures swimming around the iron tower.
There are seven in total, and their dark figures are measured in feet.
One of them even reached ten feet in length. It was so long that upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a long worm like a python.
In addition, the other huge figures are toads, scorpions, centipedes, snakes, pythons, geckos, bats, and a pointed canine giant.
Without thinking too much, Xu Dao immediately guessed that the six-headed giants swimming in the water layer were six Taoist priests in the foundation-building realm.
Among them, the pointed-headed dog is the Taoist Linghu in White Bone Temple, with the body of a fox.
"Jie! That's right, that's right, you are obedient and happy!" Another muffled sound came from the water layer and fell into the ears of several people.
Xu Dao looked at the six dark figures swimming in the water, and his mind instantly tensed to the extreme, fearing that the other party would see through his existence if he glanced down with his spiritual consciousness.
Fortunately, it seems that because of the existence of the Dragon Palace Formation, although the seven Taoist priests can transmit sounds in, their spiritual consciousness cannot be released. They can only swim slowly above the Dragon Palace, staring at the bottom with twinkling eyes, laughing or sternly.
.
"Elder!"
"Meet the elder!" When the five Taoist priests saw this scene, they were stunned at first, and then they were ecstatic.
They shook their withered bodies, and immediately bowed to the seven Taoist priests on top, speaking out words one after another.
Someone quickly shouted: "Excuse me, elders. It's useless for me. The key in my hand is broken and I can't open the door of the iron tower... Please help me, elders."
"Yes! Elder, please help me. The evil spirit here is so strong that it hurts me to death!"
Cries of panic rang out in the field, fully demonstrating the fear in the hearts of the five Shezhao Taoist disciples and the renewed hope of living.
Xu Dao watched this scene, but he did not feel lucky for the five people. He stared at the six voices slowly swimming above the head and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Yes!" Another Taoist priest said: "I have given up my edict to worship the Dragon Palace for thousands of years, but I don't know how many groups of tribesmen have come here. The losses are hard to calculate, but no one can open the iron tower."
"This is not your fault. It's just that the door couldn't be opened before the time came!"
A large toad's body froze, lying in the water layer, its two protruding eyes staring at the bottom, and it muffledly spit out:
"Don't worry, I'll rescue you soon."
When several other Taoist priests heard this, they all comforted him and said, "Don't worry! I'll take action right away."
"Thank you, elder! Thank you, elder!"
A burst of ecstatic shouts sounded around, allowing Xu Dao to hear it and fully feel the joy in it.
But as he listened, he quickly moved his steps, slipped to the side, and blocked his voice even more tightly, not daring to breathe for fear of revealing any flaws.
"Fellow Taoists, let's all take action to rescue these little ones."
A burst of discussion rang out in the sky, and the huge bodies of the Taoist priests swayed, and then each of them froze, lying on the boundary between the water layer and the Dragon Palace formation, as if lying on the ice layer.
Not long after, Xu Dao saw the majestic magic power emerging from their bodies, condensing into shapes, and seeping under the lake.
The mana, whether gray, black or red, was like a steel needle piercing the ice and piercing into the Dragon Palace.
Six magical powers appeared in the eyes of the Taoist disciples and Xu Dao below. There was a sudden change and turned into six long lines of flashing spiritual light, faintly hanging down.
Six long ropes composed of Taoist magic power are hung in the Dragon Palace, which is very eye-catching.
When the five Taoist disciples saw this situation, their faces were even more ecstatic, thinking that they would have a chance to escape from this damn Dragon Palace.
The evil spirits all around were still blowing.
Without any instructions from the Taoist priests, the five Shezhao Taoist disciples rushed to grab a long rope and pulled it several times, fearing that the rope was not strong.
………………
