Chapter 1 An Unexpected Encounter

As my divine sense rapidly advanced towards Yan Yu Tower, countless lights and shadows brushed past me.

I had no time to see what my divine sense was passing by, heading straight for the top of Yan Yu Tower.

What I didn't expect was that as I approached the top floor of Yan Yu Tower, I was bounced back five steps as if I had run into an iron wall.

When my divine sense crashed into the railing of the building, I was shocked again—I clearly saw several wet footprints on the floor.

My footprints!

I had only broken into Yan Yu Tower with my divine sense, and I was already contaminated with the aura of the Yan Yu Tower Master.

Or rather, I was cursed by the Tower Master.

After a slight pause, I cupped my fist towards the door covered with talismans and said, "Sorcerer Li Po seeks an audience with the Yan Yu Tower Master."

A man's voice came from the room: "In all these years, you are the first to dare to break into Yan Yu Tower with your divine sense."

"You want to negotiate with me?"

"Should I admire your courage, or should I say you are fearless because of your ignorance?"

I said calmly: "Has the Tower Master already guessed my intention?"

The Yan Yu Tower Master said: "Within a hundred miles, there is nothing I don't know!"

"I know your purpose, but that doesn't mean I can allow you to leave Yan Yu Tower."

"I have spent countless boring years in Yan Yu Tower. Those who enter Yan Yu Tower naturally become my toys."

"So many toys have come, how can I easily let them go?"

I said in a deep voice: "Friend, which do you think is more important, having someone to play with you, or having someone who can solve your troubles?"

The Yan Yu Tower Master laughed and said, "You can solve my troubles?"

"You don't even know what my troubles are, and you dare to be so boastful?"

I quickly said, "The ghosts and gods in sealed places are either sealed by others or self-sealed."

"If you were sealed by someone else, you should have escaped long ago."

I wasn't flattering the Yan Yu Tower Master. Gods and demons being sealed is equivalent to leaving hidden dangers for future generations.

There is no permanent seal in the world. Moreover, gods and demons also have the means to trick others into opening the seal.

I said lightly, "If I'm not mistaken, you should be self-sealed in Yan Yu Tower. Who are you waiting for?"

The Yan Yu Tower Master's voice sank slightly: "You want to convince me that you can solve my problem with just a few words?"

I said in a deep voice: "Of course not! I'm not arrogant enough to think that I can do whatever I want with just my glib tongue."

"Since the Tower Master has decided to be lonely, why not regard our meeting as a game?"

"Perhaps, the result of the game will be an unexpected surprise?"

The Yan Yu Tower Master was silent for a long time and said: "Your proposal does make me a little tempted?"

"Do you know the consequences of disappointing me?"

I said in a deep voice: "If I was afraid of death, I wouldn't have come."

"Interesting!" The Yan Yu Tower Master hesitated and said, "I've been here for too long. Others see me as a god, a demon. But I just regard myself as a prisoner."

"I have high hopes for your words. However, the greater the hope, the more intense the disappointment."

"Perhaps, in your opinion, this is a life-or-death gamble in your martial world career. In my opinion, this is just an attempt for me."

"I don't know whether I should kill you or thank you."

The Yan Yu Tower Master said again: "I can tell you that when I was marrying the Holy Maiden of Miao Jiang, I clearly saw her being carried into Yan Yu Tower."

"But when I opened the curtain of the sedan chair, she disappeared without a trace."

"I can feel that she is in Yan Yu Tower."

"But I don't know where she is hiding, or why she is hiding."

"So, in a fit of rage, I sealed off Yan Yu Tower."

"Until I killed everyone in Yan Yu Tower, I never saw her appear again."

"The reason why I haven't left Yan Yu Tower is to wait for her to appear."

The Yan Yu Tower Master paused and said, "If you find her, you can take anything you want from Yan Yu Tower. You should understand the consequences if you can't find her."

I said in a deep voice: "I want to know your past?"

The Yan Yu Tower Master said: "You have no right to know my private affairs!"

I pondered and said, "Then can you tell me about the process of the wedding procession arriving at Yan Yu Tower?"

The Yan Yu Tower Master said: "I can satisfy this request. I can let you see everything I saw at that time."

"However, you have to release your divine sense. I'll take you there!"

The moment I let down my guard, I felt like I was being forcibly pushed and flew backwards. This time, it was even faster than when I forcibly broke into Yan Yu Tower.

The scenery of Yan Yu Tower flashed past me. I clearly felt that I had returned to my body, but I couldn't open my eyes no matter what.

The Yan Yu Tower Master's voice came from my ear: "Release your divine sense!"

Release my divine sense?

That would be equivalent to exposing everything about myself to the other party.

He could not only control my life and death, but even seize my body.

This is a real gamble!
