Zhu Rong, Gonggong, and the other five Great Witch Kings, along with Yang Fei and Nuannuan, held a brief meeting to discuss strategies for quelling the chaos.

The meeting was filled with the strong scent of conspiracy, with Yang Fei taking the lead in determining the strategy, and Nuannuan finalizing and allocating tasks.

Zhu Rong and Gonggong were both injured, which slightly reduced their martial arts prowess, yet they still retained formidable strength.

Especially Zhu Rong, who had condensed the True Martial Body, remained unstoppable as ever.

All five Great Witch Kings were old foxes who had seen many schemes.

However, after hearing Yang Fei's plan, they all collectively felt as if they had developed toothaches from listening, gasping in surprise.

The plan devised by this guy was not only cunning and treacherous but was imbued throughout with a certain sly and wicked aura, much like a weasel stealing chickens.

The five Great Witch Kings felt as if their reputations were being tarnished, realizing they were the executors of this heinous plan.

Yang Fei's plan could be considered the ultimate manual of underhanded tactics.

Borrowing a knife to kill, stealing in the act, directing east to strike west — countless schemes abounded.

Even if the five Great Witch Kings were to live another hundred years, they surely wouldn't come up with so many devious ideas.

Every one of them had their mouths agape, watching the animated Yang Fei, feeling chills running down their spines.

This ant with Gangjin Master capabilities, setting aside his martial arts skills, had enough cunning to bring about the downfall of many people.

Nuannuan, seeing Yang Fei assigning tasks with a smug look, couldn't resist pinching his waist repeatedly.

Lucky for her, this despicable guy was her friend.

If not, even though Nuannuan had merged with the Great Witch Essence Blood, she wouldn't have stood a chance against such a fearsome person.

After Yang Fei finished assigning tasks, he laughed heartily and sat down boldly.

"Let's use this place as a temporary command center. If anyone encounters any anomalies, report to the command center immediately."

At this moment, everyone was fully convinced and promptly took their orders and left.

After everyone had left with their respective forces, Yang Fei leisurely gestured to Nuannuan.

"Let's go rescue Grandfather, then regroup with them."

Nuannuan nodded, her eyes slightly reddened.

"Dad has passed away, and Grandfather is my closest kin. Let's rescue him immediately."

Yang Fei gave a soft hum and, with Nuannuan, turned back and left the chamber.

They walked along a long corridor, continuously heading upwards, until about two or three kilometers away, where the stone wall had been blasted open by the five Great Witch Kings, revealing a large tunnel.

When Nuannuan and Yang Fei emerged from the cavern, they found themselves halfway up the mountain, with a winding sheep path leading to the summit.

Along the path, checkpoints were set every three steps and sentries every five, with stringent security.

Yang Fei and Nuannuan were secretly alarmed. If it weren't for Nuannuan fortuitously merging with the Great Witch Essence Blood and successfully persuading the five Great Witch Kings,

escaping unscathed would have been extremely difficult for them.

The sentries on the path, seeing the Martial God Ring on Nuannuan's finger, all bowed to her in respect, visibly shaken.

The Martial God Ring was the supreme token of the Witch Master in the Wu Clan, and anyone bearing the ring was an untouchable figure within the clan.

Thus, Nuannuan and Yang Fei passed without obstruction.

The two of them climbed towards the peak, taking over twenty minutes before finally reaching the summit.

When Yang Fei and Nuannuan ascended the last of the stone steps, they arrived at an extremely spacious plaza, with ancient blue bricks laid beneath.

The plaza was as large as two football fields, with battlements on all sides and bonfires burning at the top, brightly illuminating the surroundings.

In the center of the plaza stood an altar about seven to eight zhang high, covering roughly two or three acres.

Surrounding the altar were dense steps leading to the top, where a tall and majestic statue of Pangu was positioned at the center.

The statue held an axe in the left hand and a chisel in the right, its Vajra Angry Eyes imposing, as if opening heaven and earth, vividly lifelike.

Yang Fei gazed at the statue of Pangu, silent for a long time, while Nuannuan explained softly beside him.

"Our Wu Clan has worshiped Pangu the Great God for generations, considering him our ancestor."

Nuannuan said this as she knelt gracefully, holding her hands in front of her chest, forming a strange Dharma Seal, and bowing to Pangu the Great God.

Yang Fei greatly admired this legendary hero who supposedly opened heaven and earth.

Seeing Nuannuan's reverent worship, he too stepped forward and bowed deeply, showing respect.

Yang Fei looked around and asked, "By the way, where is Grandfather imprisoned?"

Nuannuan pointed to the back of the altar. "Grandfather is imprisoned inside the Demon Tower. See it? That's the Demon Tower."

Following Nuannuan's finger, Yang Fei indeed found a dark, seven-story treasure pagoda behind the altar.

The altar was so grand and towering that Yang Fei hadn't noticed the Demon Tower initially.

The pagoda's material was unknown, its entire body dark but glinting with a metallic sheen.

At first glance, it seemed unremarkable, but as he continued to look, Yang Fei felt his gaze glued to it, unable to pull his thoughts away.

Nuannuan patted Yang Fei's shoulder.

"Hey, stop staring at the Demon Tower. If you lose your mind and go crazy later, I won't be responsible."

Yang Fei jolted awake, taking a deep breath to regain his senses.

"The name of the Demon Tower is well-earned; it truly is extraordinary."

Nuannuan nodded, "It's said that the past Great Witches left behind the Martial Dao True Meaning on the Demon Tower."

"A true genius could perceive the Martial Dao True Meaning from the pagoda's essence. Unfortunately, I have never been able to feel it."

Yang Fei, invigorated, said, "Maybe I can try. Who knows, I might also grasp the Martial Dao True Meaning of the Great Witches. Maybe the task of saving the world will fall to me."

Nuannuan chuckled and rolled her eyes at him.

"Do you know why this pagoda is called the Demon Tower? It's because so many arrogant people like you tried to comprehend the Martial Dao True Meaning within, only to lose their minds and end up going mad."

Startled, Yang Fei quickly diverted his gaze.

"In that case, I'll leave it alone, leaving some hope for future generations."

Nuannuan was amused by him, giggling sweetly, then turned away, rolling her eyes in an expressive manner. "Cowardly narcissist."

The two bypassed the altar and headed towards the Demon Tower.

From a distance, the Demon Tower didn't appear particularly grand, but as they approached, it revealed its imposing and chilling presence.

Under the dim light of a gray sky, over a dozen black chains hung from the top of the pagoda. The seven-story pagoda, with its flying eaves and angular projections, exuded an unparalleled sense of eeriness amidst its grandeur.

Yang Fei and Nuannuan both noticed that construction works surrounded the Demon Tower, with guards holding guns as sentries, and patrol teams occasionally passing by.

It seemed that the five Great Witch Kings hadn't yet had time to withdraw these soldiers, or perhaps the guards of the Demon Tower didn't belong to the forces of the five Great Witch Kings.

Nuannuan focused on the guards and gritted her teeth.

"Whatever, I'll rescue Grandfather first to prevent any Witch King from acting out of desperation and harming him."
