The protagonist stole my spiritual root? Hey, heroine, give birth to me!

When Yu Guili heard that Chen Xuan had obtained the power of the rules, he looked utterly disgusted.

"Chen Xuan, you stole my opportunity and gained the power of the rules. I'll remember this debt! When we get back..."

"Alright, that's about it for this trip. Tongzi, take that tower and make it my inner world!"

"Ding, 200000 Destiny Points deducted. Begin collecting the Jade Tower..."

As the system's "ding" sound ended, a strange halo appeared around the Xuanyu Tower. This halo rippled out like water, and the surrounding space was distorted and deformed.

Yu Guili and Lin Feng were still immersed in anger and resentment, and were about to curse Chen Xuan a few more times, but they were shocked by the sudden scene and their eyes widened.

Enveloped in a halo of light, the Xuanyu Pagoda slowly shrank. The towering structure, which had once reached into the clouds, was now being pulled smaller and smaller by an invisible force, until it finally transformed into a stream of light that plunged straight into Chen Xuan's brow.

In that instant, Chen Xuan's aura suddenly changed, and his already powerful presence now had an even more mysterious and unpredictable charm.

This sudden scene shocked everyone, and all eyes were fixed on Chen Xuan, as if trying to discern the whereabouts of the Xuanyu Tower from him.

However, Chen Xuan remained calm, with a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth and a faint smile, without offering any explanation.

"This...how is this possible? The pagoda has recognized its owner?" Someone finally came to their senses, their voice filled with shock and disbelief.

"How is this impossible?"

Chen Xuan glanced at the man and the others, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes: "What, you're not convinced? My elder brother is Yu Guili. If you've got the guts, come and take it back!"

Having said that, he turned to look at Yu Guili and Lin Feng, who had come with him, his eyes filled with satisfaction:

"We owe a great debt to my good brother and Brother Lin Feng. We've been through so much together, and now we're practically brothers in arms. With this Xuanyu Tower, our strength will surely reach new heights."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their attention to Yu Guili and Lin Feng.

It turns out these people were in cahoots.

Upon hearing Chen Xuan's words, Yu Guili and Lin Feng's faces turned pale and then red. They truly hadn't expected Chen Xuan to drag them into this.

The crowd's gazes swept back and forth between the three, their eyes filled with greed. After all, these people had climbed the highest floors of the tower, so naturally they carried the most treasures.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan added fuel to the fire.

He deliberately sighed, "Alas, the reason I was able to obtain the Xuanyu Pagoda this time is entirely thanks to Brother Yu and Brother Lin's planning behind the scenes. If it weren't for them, how would I have dared to compete for such a treasure?"

When everyone heard this, they were immediately shocked.

"I think these treasures from the trial should belong to everyone. What right do you have to hoard them all?"

Someone in the crowd spoke up, his face flushed red, his eyes filled with a mixture of greed and murderous intent.

"He's right. This Xuanyu Pagoda belongs to everyone. How can you take it for your own use? If you don't hand over the Xuanyu Pagoda today, none of you three will leave alive!"

Another person brandished a weapon, its cold light flashing, its sharp, piercing voice echoing across the open space.

Upon hearing this, Yu Guili's face grew even more gloomy. He never expected Chen Xuan to pull such a stunt, putting him in this predicament.

Lin Feng's hands and feet trembled slightly, his eyes filled with terror. His cultivation was not high enough, and he had never experienced being surrounded by a group of Golden Immortals like this before.

But Chen Xuan remained calm and composed, seemingly unconcerned about making things worse.

"You think you can take the Xuan Yu Tower from me? I wonder how many of you have a death wish?"

After saying that, his spiritual power surged around him, and the aura of the power of rules spread out, creating a powerful sense of oppression that made everyone take a few steps back.

"Don't be intimidated by him! He's only just obtained the power of the rules, and he might not be able to use it skillfully yet. There are so many of us, why should we be afraid of him!"

A burly man roared, and he was the first to attack, his large sword whistling through the air as he slashed at Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan dodged the fierce attack with a flash, and then struck out with his palm. The palm wind was like a knife, directly sending the big man flying several feet away, spitting out blood.

However, this did not calm everyone down; instead, it aroused their ferocity. They disregarded their own lives and rushed towards Chen Xuan and the others.

In an instant, shouts of battle shook the heavens, and various magical lights intertwined, illuminating the entire space with vibrant colors.

Yu Guili and Lin Feng initially intended to leave, but seeing so many people rushing towards them, they realized they couldn't escape even if they wanted to. Gritting their teeth, they joined the battle.

As for Long Qingwan, she disappeared without a trace.

Seeing the two surrounded, Chen Xuan smiled and continued his taunts:

"With such meager abilities, you dare to covet my Xuanyu Tower? You're utterly overestimating yourselves! Trash is trash. Even if I don't make a move, you're no match for my good brother!"

After saying that, Chen Xuan actually used the Law of Shadow to hide near the battlefield and watch the two of them get ganged up on.

"Chen Xuan! Fight properly, don't waste time!" Yu Guili shouted.

"Don't worry, brother, I know your strength. These trash can't possibly be a match for you!"

"Chen Xuan! I'm really struggling here, please come help me, ah!!!"

Lin Feng had just finished speaking when he was jerked by a hook-shaped weapon.

......

On the other side of the battlefield, the Green Mountain Ancestor stood deep within an ancient cave, surrounded by dense Immortal King power.

He laughed wildly, his laughter echoing through the cave and making the surrounding stone walls rustle.

"I never expected that this Immortal King's inheritance, which starts with the word 'green,' would actually fall into my hands. Chen Xuan was incredibly foolish to hand over such a tremendous opportunity while he was in the mine."

The Old Ancestor of Green Mountain was beaming with pride, his eyes gleaming with greed and self-satisfaction.

Recalling that scene at the mine, the image of Chen Xuan foolishly switching rooms with him was still vivid in his mind, which made the Green Mountain Ancestor feel even more superior.

"Hmph, he's probably still toiling away in the mines right now, oblivious to what he's missing. How utterly foolish! Now that I have this inheritance, I'm sure I can dominate the Immortal Realm. At that time, the entire Immortal Realm will grovel at my feet!"

While lost in his own fantasy, the old ancestor of the green mountains thought of the two beautiful women left behind in the mine.

"Once I've finished dealing with things here, I'll go to the mine to pick up my two wives. Then I'll let them see how powerful I am now."

A wicked smile curled at the corner of his lips, as if he could already see the two beautiful women bowing down to him.
