Seeing Xu Anlan like this, Ji Xiuzhu didn't want to give her the impression of a demon at all, so he shrugged and sighed helplessly.

"Oh~ That, Xu Anlan. I'm going to buy them from you. Just name a price and sell some of these demons to me."

Upon hearing this, Xu Anlan did not move at all, as if he had not heard it. He snorted coldly and was about to get up and leave.

Seeing this, Ji Xiuzhu quickly reached out and grabbed Xu Anlan's arm: "Hey, don't leave! The price can be negotiated!"

Xu Anlan stopped and turned to look at Ji Xiuzhu indifferently: "Not for sale."

"Why?" Ji Xiuzhu asked in confusion, "You keep these demons for no use other than causing trouble. You can sell them to me in exchange for some cultivation resources."

Xu Anlan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said with a hint of sarcasm: "Since you know my identity as the Great Sima, you should also know that I am not short of cultivation resources."

Ji Xiuzhu was stunned for a moment. How could she have forgotten about this?

Then, she let go of Xu Anlan's hand and said with a smile: "What do you need? As long as it is within my ability, I will satisfy you."

Xu Anlan stared at Ji Xiuzhu, a sly look flashing in his eyes: "Well, I want you to promise me one thing. If you swear by the way of heaven, I will believe you."

Ji Xiuzhu heard this and murmured in his heart: Good fellow, this guy is not an easy person to deal with. I swear to heaven, if I let him kill people and set fire to things, wouldn't I be at a loss? No, no, I can't be reckless.

Thinking of this, Ji Xiuzhu slowly stood up, brushed the hair on his shoulders and chuckled, "It sounds good, but you can't swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao casually. What if you ask me to kill some hermit for you, wouldn't I become cannon fodder? You tell me your request first, if I can accept it, I will grant it. If not, then forget it. After all, I don't have to have evil spirits like this."

After Ji Xiuzhu finished speaking, he didn't say anything more, but secretly observed Xu Anlan's reaction, hoping to find faint clues in his expression.

Xu Anlan didn't get angry when he heard that. Instead, he touched his nose and said, "That's good. It's not something that can't be accomplished. I'll tell you so you can rest assured."

As he spoke, he pulled out a map from his pocket, unfolded it, and walked in front of Ji Xiuzhu, then pointed to a loft and said, "This is the Demon Locking Tower, in the forbidden area of ​​the Confucian Temple. I need a scroll of fragments in the Demon Locking Tower, but I can't get in. I need you to help me get it."

Ji Xiuzhu took the map from Xu Anlan's hand, looked at the slightly abstract routes and marks on the map, and couldn't help feeling embarrassed.

This guy, didn’t he ask her if she could understand the map before giving her the map?

Ji Xiuzhu did not reach out to take the map, but coughed twice and pushed the map back to Xu Anlan.

Seeing this, Xu Anlan frowned slightly and said, "You don't want to? Well, forget it, let's say goodbye."

After saying that, Xu Anlan put away the map, turned around and was about to leave.

"Who told you that I don't want to?" Ji Xiuzhu quickly stepped forward, grabbed Xu Anlan's arm, and then hugged him around the waist. Xu Anlan was taken to the sky by Ji Xiuzhu, "I can't understand your extremely abstract map, so you lead the way for me."

Xu Anlan was startled by Ji Xiuzhu's sudden action and struggled to get out of her arms. But the more he struggled, the tighter Ji Xiuzhu held him.

"If you move again, I will tear off your belt and throw you down."

When Xu Anlan heard this, his eyes narrowed and he had to stop struggling.

So, under Ji Xiuzhu's verbal threat, he behaved himself.

Seeing that he stopped struggling, Ji Xiuzhu ignored him, raised a smile, and flew straight towards the Confucian Hall with him.

After a while, the two arrived outside the forbidden area of ​​​​the Confucian Temple.

"It's here. That's the Demon Locking Tower." Xu Anlan said, pointing to a tall tower in front.

Ji Xiuzhu looked at the towering building in front of him and couldn't help feeling a little scared.

"Is this the Demon Locking Tower? It looks so eerie..." After Ji Xiuzhu landed, he let go of Xu Anlan and looked around the Demon Locking Tower.

I saw that the Demon Locking Tower was somewhat similar to the Leifeng Pagoda, the difference was that each floor of the Demon Locking Tower was surrounded by countless iron chains and talisman papers, and on the diagonal supports of each floor there were carved fierce dragons.

There is a shining bead at the top of the tower. According to the conventional operation of tower design, it is undoubtedly the legendary relic. Along with the shining light of the relic, bursts of black mist-like evil spirit swirl around the tower.

This Demon Locking Tower has a total of nine floors, but the distance between each floor is estimated to be about two meters, and the height of the first floor is slightly higher than the upper floors.

"You're not scared, are you?" Xu Anlan laughed at Ji Xiuzhu when he saw that he didn't move.

Ji Xiuzhu said nothing, but continued to observe the structure of the Demon Locking Tower and the bursts of black gas rising from the top of the tower.

Xu Anlan did not urge him anymore, but found a step to sit down and watched Ji Xiuzhu's actions quietly.

After a long while, Ji Xiuzhu stared at an empty space and smiled slightly. Then he pointed his spiritual power and the relic on the top of the Demon Locking Tower instantly lost its luster and became dim.

"Let's go. I have temporarily suppressed the formation outside the Demon Locking Tower. In order to prevent the monsters inside from escaping, I will restore the formation after we go in." Having said that, Ji Xiuzhu walked forward, grabbed Xu Anlan's collar and walked into the tower without caring about Xu Anlan's reaction.

As soon as the two entered the tower, Ji Xiuzhu waved his hand and restored the formation. In an instant, the relics on the top of the tower regained their former luster.

Shortly after the two entered the Demon Locking Tower, the patrol team from the Confucian Hall, which had dealt with the dark shadows and evil spirits, came here for inspection. After seeing that the relic was still intact, the patrol team left quietly.

"The Tianling Sect is also strange. You said that Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism should be independent, but the Tianling Sect has integrated them together. I just saw this Demon Locking Tower, which is a masterpiece that integrates the three sects. Tell me, how do they manage to live in peace?"

Ji Xiuzhu raised his eyes and looked at Xu Anlan beside him, as if wanting to get an answer from him.

"Humph! A sect that relies on stealing others' achievements, snatching others' opportunities, not distinguishing right from wrong, and treating human life as worthless, can only be a tailor in the cultivation world. How can it be called the orthodox sect of the three religions!"

As he spoke, Xu Anlan's eyes suddenly turned red.

Ji Xiuzhu naturally didn't understand why Xu Anlan would have such hatred when he mentioned the three religions of Tianling Sect, but she felt that Xu Anlan was not a bad person. After all, he was on the protagonist's side, and no matter how bad he was, he had a past that could be whitewashed.

And the reason why he was lurking in Tianling Sect was definitely not just because of the fragments in the tower.

Although Ji Xiuzhu was very curious, these things were not something she, a villain cannon fodder who was just surviving by borrowing her life, could control.

The two of them are just partners at the moment, and it's just a deal. When the cooperation ends, she will have to return to the Shenyin Sect to continue to survive.

"Where is the fragment you want?" Ji Xiuzhu asked in a calm tone, without any emotion.

Hearing this, Xu Anlan calmed down and said with red eyes in a second: "It's on the third floor. However, there is a big monster there that is comparable to the peak of the Spiritual Transformation Realm. You are going there rashly..."

Before Xu Anlan could finish his words, he saw Ji Xiuzhu holding up her skirt and going upstairs.

It's just the Spiritual Transformation Realm. What is there for her to be afraid of? It's just a matter of enduring some hardship and doing more exercise.

Ever since she entered the Void Refining Realm, her whole body has been light, even lighter than when she was in the Lower Realm. For example, now she can step directly on the void without the help of sword-controlling skills.

Fortunately, she was not afraid of heights, otherwise she would have been scared to death by the scene in the sky.

When he arrived at the third floor, Ji Xiuzhu saw a yellowed page of a book locked by an iron chain flashing with spiritual power. Ji Xiuzhu's eyes moved slightly, and he turned around to ask Xu Anlan if this was what he wanted, but when he turned around, he could not see any trace of Xu Anlan.

Ji Xiuzhu sighed helplessly and said, "Alas, I thought all the heroine's lickers were brave, but now it seems that he is also a coward."

But what she didn't know was that Xu Anlan was not timid at all, but was fighting a huge demon at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage on the second floor.

Just now, Xu Anlan was following Ji Xiuzhu, planning to go up to the third floor with her, but just as he reached the turning point of the second-floor stairs, he was bounced back by a restriction.

So, he could only watch Ji Xiuzhu disappear from his sight step by step.

I originally thought that since I couldn't go up, I might as well go down to the first floor and find a safe place to wait, but I didn't know that the stairs leading to the first floor were also restricted, which meant I could not come back.

Xu Anlan was thinking about how to tell Ji Xiuzhu the news, and then a woman in red appeared behind him and laughed at him.

As soon as he turned his head, he met the woman's extremely charming eyes and was instantly immersed in a fantasy.
