Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme

”Thank you, Mr. Lin.”

Zhen Yuanzi offered the Eternal Fruit, bowing at ninety degrees, and said sincerely from the heart.

In the Golden Secret Realm, Lin Mo obtained a total of five Eternal Fruits. One was added to the Soul Condensing Pill and given to his mother, while the remaining three were given to Lin Guang, Xia Mengdie, and Sima Zining.

After all, the three of them had been cultivating for a short time and at a slow pace. With the Eternal Fruit, they could increase their lifespan by a thousand years, and Lin Mo could go to the Mystic Realm Sect without worry.

”Back when I subdued you in the Prison Tower, I made a Blood Soul Contract. Now I will lift it for you,” Lin Mo said calmly.

Zhen Yuanzi froze in place, feeling the bondage that had tied him loosen, restoring his freedom.

Back then, Lin Mo forced Zhen Yuanzi to sign the Blood Covenant to restrain him. Now that Lin Mo’s power had immensely increased, he was no longer afraid of Zhen Yuanzi. Besides, Zhen Yuanzi had done a lot for him over the years.

”Mr. Lin’s kindness, Zhen Yuanzi cannot repay,” said Zhen Yuanzi, transforming into human form, kneeling down, and kowtowing three times.

Not only did Lin Mo take him out of the Prison Tower, but he also gave him the Eternal Fruit and released the Blood Covenant. It was indeed a great favor to Zhen Yuanzi.

”These are things I promised you, so naturally, I’ll do them,” Lin Mo said lightly.

”However, when I leave for Yu Lan Star, you must protect the Nine Continents Secret Realm and my family.”

Zhen Yuanzi slowly stood up, ”Even if Mr. Lin didn’t instruct me, I would do so on my own accord.”

Lin Mo nodded in satisfaction and then said, ”Besides fulfilling my promise to you today, there’s something else I want to ask you.”

”Mr. Lin, please speak directly,”

”How long has the Prison Tower existed, and is there some secret hidden inside?” Lin Mo asked with a slight frown.

Three days ago, during his battle with Chen Yan, he fell to the bottom of the lake and indeed saw a giant strange black shadow appear on the Prison Tower, with two eerily cold red eyes staring at him. Lin Mo was certain it wasn’t an illusion. Ordinary people experience illusions due to weaker spiritual power, but with Lin Mo’s strength and having dual souls, stronger than the soul of a typical Gold Core Stage peak cultivator, how could he have an illusion?

Zhen Yuanzi paused for a moment before shaking his head and saying, ”I don’t know how long the Prison Tower has existed. I only know that when the sect was first established, the Prison Tower was already here. Later, the sect was always established here, and disciples would also train inside the Prison Tower.”

”Even you don’t know how long the Prison Tower has been here?” Lin Mo tapped the armrest of the throne with two fingers, creating a thudding sound.

”Perhaps the reason the sect was originally established here was to guard the Prison Tower?” Lin Mo suddenly said.

”Guard the Prison Tower?” Zhen Yuanzi showed a puzzled look, ”According to Mr. Lin, is there a treasure hidden inside this Prison Tower?”

”It’s not necessarily a treasure, but perhaps a demon,” Lin Mo shook his head, slightly worried.

”A demon?”

Zhen Yuanzi murmured to himself and suddenly changed his expression, widening his eyes, ”Mr. Lin, you reminded me of something.”

”Speak.”

”When I first entered the sect, I was an Outer Disciple. One time, many elders and the Sect Master went to the bottom of the lake and stayed there for half a month. I heard it was to repair the Array!” Zhen Yuanzi said.

”Repair the Array!”

Lin Mo slightly furrowed his sword-like eyebrows.

”At that time, the elders and the Sect Master were all very nervous. Later, I stood out among the disciples and could have taken over the sect. Unfortunately, later...” Zhen Yuanzi sighed.

The Prison Tower is a triangular shape, seemingly made out of solid black iron, with many golden tadpole-like secret patterns floating on the surface; they are a kind of Array, which Lin Mo already knew.

Initially, Lin Mo thought it was to control the demon beasts and illusion beasts inside the Prison Tower, but with Zhen Yuanzi’s cultivation, they couldn’t break the Array Barrier outside the Prison Tower. What were they worried about?

”Unless... unless there is a more powerful fierce beast or demon in the Prison Tower, otherwise there’s no need to be so concerned.”

Lin Mo mumbled to himself, ”Let’s go and take a look at the Array Patterns outside the Prison Tower first.”

Lin Mo was worried that if the Prison Tower indeed imprisoned a malevolent creature, and since he had seen its appearance, it indicated that it was already trying to escape the Prison Tower’s constraints... No matter how powerful the Array is, it cannot withstand time.

The three of them arrived outside the Prison Tower, and Lin Mo directly unfolded his Divine Thought, covering the entire Prison Tower and engraving the golden runes on its surface.

Feeling the intrusion of Divine Thought, golden spots of light appeared on the surface of the Prison Tower, like moving golden tadpoles, densely packed and covering the entire Prison Tower.

”Such a complex Array, who left it behind?” Lin Mo’s face showed a look of astonishment. Previously, his soul strength was insufficient to clearly sense the Array, but now, with dual souls and improved strength, he could perceive more, amazed at the complexity and wonder of this Array.

”Eastern Emperor Bell, Divine Sea Iron Chain... Octopus Giant Snake...”

Lin Mo once again recalled the events in Sang Country, where those extraordinary fierce beasts were also bound within prohibitions.

”Could it be that this Prison Tower was also left by some Big Shot to suppress evil things?”

An hour later, Lin Mo withdrew his Divine Thought, tightly furrowed his sword-like eyebrows, and showed a worried expression.

”Mr. Lin, have you discovered anything?” Zhen Yuanzi asked from the side.

”If I’m not mistaken, the Prison Tower is suppressing a powerful malevolent creature. If it were to escape, the entire Nine Continents Secret Realm would likely be blood-washed clean!” Lin Mo slowly said.

”A powerful malevolent creature, why don’t we deal with it now?” Zhen Yuanzi suggested.

”If it were that easy to kill, it wouldn’t need the Prison Tower for suppression rather than killing it,” Lin Mo shook his head, remembering that the mere glimpse of the malevolent creature’s illusion gave him chills.

The malevolent creature suppressed by the Prison Tower was far beyond his imagination, perhaps at the Nascent Soul Stage, or even the Refining God Stage, or an even more powerful demon. Another option would be to ask the Mystic Realm Sect for help to resolve this malevolent creature, but Lin Mo dismissed that idea. He hadn’t officially joined the Mystic Realm Sect, and even if he did, would the Elder Council help him?

”This matter must be informed to Master Fang and others, and bring all the Array data and Sect Chronicles from the Martial Arts Hall to my office.”

Lin Mo instructed Yingzi.

”Yes, young master.” Yingzi nodded and flew towards the lake, causing a trail of water vapor.

”Mr. Lin, what are you going to do?” Zhen Yuanzi asked, puzzled.

”The Array Patterns on the Prison Tower are fundamentally unstable. I have to find a way to repair them, at least to keep that malevolent creature suppressed,” Lin Mo said.
