Chapter 224: Gathering at the Four-Star Tower

The two remained locked in a standoff for over half a stick of incense, as the subordinates of Princess Linglong and the strong from the Ming Emperor's Tomb surged wildly into this dark abyss.
Xiao Yao saw the situation and frowned; leaving now was impossible.
"It's over, we can't stop it," said the soul of the Chensxing Tower, frowning.
Xiao Yao was taken aback, looking at the soul of the Chensxing Tower in shock, and asked, "What should we do?"
```htmlChens Xing's tower spirit let out a strange smile on his handsome face, "Then you shall die."
As soon as Chens Xing's tower spirit finished speaking, the tower spirit of the Polaris Tower fiercely stabbed the Star Sword into Xiao Yao from behind. The slender Star Sword shimmered with a faint light as it pierced through the heart that had been unsealed, leaving a splash of crimson on the blade.```
This sword shocked everyone present.
Pain drove Xiao Yao into a frenzied struggle, but in an instant, he lost all vitality.
Chenxing Tower sighed, looking at Xiao Yao's hollow eyes with a hint of regret on his face, saying, "I'm sorry, I had no choice but to do this; it's better for you to be dead than to live."
“What a cruel method! Even their own master gets killed.” Linglong came back to her senses, a grim smile appearing on her face.
“Cruel?” The soul of the Starry Tower laughed, saying sarcastically, “Compared to you humans, I have merely done something to reduce your conflicts. From today onwards, the Celestial Star Xuan Yin Body will bid farewell to this world.”
“Goodbye?” Linglong smiled, drew her long spear, pointed at the two tower souls, and coldly said, “For my sect, I am determined to obtain the Celestial Star Body today.”
“Oh really?” The Polaris Tower Soul drew its long sword, pointed at Linglong, and said, “Today, I will use the Celestial Star Body’s blood to sacrifice my sword. How many you bring, I will kill how many!”
The Polaris Tower's long sword pointed, and the power of the stars in the space became increasingly dense, the powerful devouring force slowly spreading out. Linglong sensed this devouring force, her brows furrowing, her beautiful eyes looking towards the black tower behind the three people, feeling inexplicably uneasy in her heart.
But she thought of the importance of the Celestial Star Body to Emperor Ming, and in the end, she steeled her heart and coldly said, "I'm not afraid of you two."
Polaris Tower smiled strangely and said, "Oh really?"
Thunk!
在这时，极星塔身后的空间出现了裂痕，两道人影缓缓从里面走了出来。
Both individuals were dressed in long robes, with purple golden towers embroidered on their garments, resembling Xuan Yi. The only difference was the color of their clothing and the characters "Heaven and Earth".
Two people appeared, and Linglong's face completely darkened. These two were unrecognizable to her.
The Tianxing Tower and the Dixing Tower.
The Tiandi Chenzhen, they've all gathered now.
“Master, forgive us, the Mingdi Mausoleum is an old place, and today is prepared for you.” The Chenxing Tower lifted Xiao Yao, then looked at the three men and said blandly, “Brothers, I’m counting on you.”
The Star Tower sighed, "The coffin of this kid Mingdi is also a treasure; it's quite good for the kid."
"The world is just like this; after exhausting a lifetime for fame and fortune, shedding blood in vain, his death is for the better of everyone." The Earth Tower sighed, then looked directly into Linglong's eyes and asked the Extreme Star Tower, "Old Four, wasn't it this little girl who kept everyone in the big sect back then?"
The Star Tower nodded and said, "That's right, they exhausted all their resources to drag me into this abyss."
"No wonder the master couldn't summon you back then; otherwise, we wouldn't have needed to find a new host," the Star Tower said, a look of realization on its face, feeling somewhat regretful.
“This kid is pretty good, but he doesn't really fit into this conflict.” The Star Tower sighed.
“Is that so?” The Heavenly Star Tower laughed, then summoned a grand array, trapping everyone here.
“Because of what you did to the Fourth one a thousand years ago, you all deserve to die!” The spirit of the Celestial Star Tower suddenly went berserk, and a powerful devouring force engulfed that group of people. Then, the three tower spirits attacked together, instantly engaging in a fierce battle with Linglong and the others.
In another part of the space, the spiritual figure conjured by Xiao Yao was gradually dissipating.
Xiao Yao watched that scene and sighed inwardly; death would be better than any pain.
