Chapter 1823 - 1423: The First Floor, Land of Disarmament and Disarmor!

Zhou Mu looked at the door close at hand, his face behind the half mask full of gravity, he said.

"Yes! Just a door away, this sound is so vague, it seems we need to be cautious!" Gu Changsheng nodded upon hearing this, then shook the rope in his hand, urging the Holy Envoy Child in the sack, "Child, pave the way in front!"

"..." The Holy Envoy Child was speechless, he originally intended to go in directly, but it was Gu Changsheng who pulled the rope to stop him!

Thus, without delay, the Holy Envoy Child extended his hand to push the door and walked into the first floor of the Star Innate Tower!

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng and the others quickly followed, entering the first floor of the Star Innate Tower, and upon seeing the scene inside, Gu Changsheng was immediately stunned!

With phoenix eyes wide open, Gu Changsheng looked at the chaos in front of him, instinctively wanting to retreat!

But, there were many others behind them waiting to come in, right?

It’s easy to come in, but not so easy to retreat!

"Oh no! My inner strength is disappearing!" Almost instantly, Gu Changsheng detected something was wrong, shouted, and moved to the side of the tower door!

The first floor of the Star Innate Tower was unusually spacious, and at this moment, within the wide first floor, swords and weapons flew through the air, countless people grabbed weapons and slashed at those around them while charging toward the central spiral staircase!

For a moment, weapons flew, flesh flew, all rushing toward that central staircase!

This truly confirmed what Gu Changsheng said, a thousand people crossing a single-log bridge, it was literally a head-breaking battle!

Moreover, those frenzied attackers, whether in action or posture, were most instinctive, with not a hint of inner strength to speak of!

"This first floor of the Star Innate Tower is actually absorbing people’s inner strength!" Gu Changsheng widened his eyes, speechless.

Damn, what kind of ghost place is this?

How can a place exist that absorbs people’s inner strength? This is so unscientific!

Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue nodded upon hearing this, as they also clearly felt that at this very moment, the inner strength in their bodies was swiftly draining away!

"What to do now? We’re already here, even if this is a tomb, we have to break through! How about we rush through before our inner strength is completely gone?" Gu Changsheng thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice.

But just as Gu Changsheng finished speaking, those who followed them into the tower also became alert. Before their internal breath was thoroughly absorbed, they desperately swung their weapons and headed for the central staircase!

However...

"Boom!"

The person’s figure only got halfway there before being bounced back by an invisible wall, not even touching the edge of the staircase!

And Gu Changsheng clearly felt that the closer to the center, the faster the person’s inner strength was draining!

"Damn it! I’m going to fight you!" The person bounced back refused to believe in evil, landed, and was immediately slashed on the arm by a flying knife, further angering him. Amidst the surrounding chaos, he couldn’t see who exactly had struck him, so he roared and swung his weapon to fight his attackers around him...

But, Gu Changsheng, who had been watching that person, planning to let him battle the frontlines, was once again wide-eyed!

This time, not only were his eyes wide, but with his mouth agape and jaw tilted, he was completely stunned!

Because, damn, she finally understood why weapons flew on the first floor of the Star Innate Tower!

She clearly saw the big knife in that man’s hand flying out during his forward charge and soaring into the air, even though the man’s inner strength was not fully depleted, he naturally jumped and tried to grab his weapon!

Losing his weapon was essentially the same as going into battle without a gun, wasn’t that just courting death?

"Ding!"

Just as Gu Changsheng watched with her mouth agape at people clumsily catching the flying weapons, only to ferociously slash at their nearby adversaries upon seizing them, a clear sound suddenly emanated from Gu Changsheng’s waist!

Already pressed against the wall by the tower door, upon hearing the clear sound, Gu Changsheng instinctively turned around, then...

"Ding!"

Then... then another clear sound was heard once more!

Gu Changsheng instinctively reached for her waist...

Indeed, on both sides of her clothing, two holes had torn open...

While on that wall, her Crimson Chonghua Dagger and scalpel were brightly affixed to it, stable as can be...

Turning to look further...

Goodness!

Besides the flying weapons, the walls on the first floor of the Star Innate Tower had little empty space; it was thoroughly packed with an unknown number of weapons, some even stacked upon each other!

"Master! This is just perverse! As if absorbing inner strength wasn’t enough, it doesn’t even spare the weapons! Ta You really turned this place into a tomb? This first floor of the Star Innate Tower is actually a place for disarming and disbanding!" Surveying the surroundings, Gu Changsheng’s expression turned peculiar.

Though she wasn’t a professional tomb-raider, fortunately, her father did quite a bit of tomb raiding in his previous life for her sake. At home, there were some sporadic books about tomb chambers; Gu Changsheng had seen there that it was rumored the outskirts of a noble tomb would have a chamber for disarming and disbanding to prevent weapons and those capable of murder from entering the tomb, sparing the eternal rest of the tomb’s occupant!

Gu Changsheng clearly remembered that when seeing this record at the time, she had such a mocking look on her face!

Have you ever thought, what kind of people would break into someone else’s tomb? This is obviously tomb raiding, right? Do you expect tomb raiders to obediently hand over their tools and skills? Is that possible?

That’s totally impossible!

So, at the time, Gu Changsheng thought it was just a fantasy, but now, she has actually witnessed it!

A real place to disarm and surrender weapons, damn it, it’s genuine!

A place that can strip away a person’s inner strength and confiscate their weapons!

This...

This is simply defying heaven!

"Swish!"

"Ding!"

"Swish!"

"Ding!"

Just when Gu Changsheng was stunned with wide eyes, Zhou Mu, who stood next to her, spun around, and the Soft Sword wrapped around his waist suddenly appeared next to Gu Changsheng’s Chonghua Dagger, sticking to the wall...

In addition, even the dagger Zhou Mu carried close to him wasn’t spared!

Fortunately, after Gu Changsheng mocked Zhou Mu for wearing the Soft Sword inside his underwear, Zhou Mu stopped doing so, otherwise, that would be really embarrassing now!

Damn, imagine the Soft Sword of her evildoer being sucked out, starting from underpants, could anyone bear to watch that?

It would all be exposed, wouldn’t it?

Thankfully, there was no exposure in broad daylight; it’s a blessing in disguise!

But in a flash, Gu Changsheng snapped out of her imagination and looked at the person beside her. As expected, Yuan Bao’s weapon was also stuck on the wall. Among the five of them, apart from the Holy Envoy Child forced to join by Gu Changsheng along the way, only Shi Wujue was unscathed, with his weapon unmoved!

"Damn it, where’s your weapon? Don’t tell me you can enjoy a difference in treatment here!" Gu Changsheng glared at Shi Wujue and said.

There’s no reason for all their weapons to be sucked away while Shi Wujue’s remained unaffected!

"Up to now, this City Lord has yet to find a suitable weapon!" Shi Wujue shrugged, wearing a wicked grin, and helplessly said. His ability comes from the favor of the Moon God, the Power of the Moon God. Neither his ancestors nor he has found a weapon they can wield!

That’s just the simple truth!

This made Gu Changsheng internally hurt!

Damn it!

A master without any iron in hand, is simply...

It’s simply looking down on the world!

"Damn it, I don’t believe this nonsense!" In the next moment, Gu Changsheng came to her senses from the unfair treatment, reaching toward the wall, "My scalpel! My Chonghua! Give it back to me! Ugh!"

While growling low, Gu Changsheng exerted herself!

But with her exertion, the remaining inner strength within her body drained even quicker. Even if Gu Changsheng used all her might, the scalpel and Chonghua she was clawing at didn’t budge at all!

Gu Changsheng refused to accept it. Instead of clawing with one hand, she used both hands on her scalpel!

Damn it, this is something she brought from her past life. How could it be confiscated inside the Star Innate Tower? No way! One way or another, she must get it back! She must get it back!

However, imagination is rich, while reality is skinny!

Gu Changsheng quickly discovered that all the strength she exerted was like a stone sinking into the sea, utterly useless, and her two cherished weapons seemed to have grown on the wall. No matter how she clawed, she couldn’t pull them off!

"Damn it! This place is too freaky! Is there some sort of magnetic field here?" Panting with exhaustion but accomplishing nothing, Gu Changsheng cursed resentfully, "That Ta You guy is simply a monster! My Chonghua, my scalpel... Boo hoo... Will they ever come back? Suddenly, I feel Xiao Er Que’s suggestion was perfect. We shouldn’t have ventured into the Star Innate Tower but should’ve just toppled it instead! That would be much more comforting! Better than getting disarmed the moment we entered... Boo hoo..."

Deep down, Gu Changsheng was filled with unspeakable regret!

Not even caring about the taboo of tomb raiding, she didn’t care whether this was the tomb Ta You prepared for himself. She only knew this tomb took her Chonghua Dagger and her scalpel!

Damn it! Those are her lifeblood, her treasures!

Just taken and stuck on the wall, impossible to retrieve!

If she can’t get them back, where would she go to cry?

One was something she brought from her past life, and the other was the Disaster-Breaking Chonghua, the Supreme Treasure of the Southern Border!

Gu Changsheng felt her heart was bleeding...

Actually, this trial of ascending the tower that Ta You organized was merely a means to gather wealth, right?
