Immortal Ascension Tower - Book 1: Reborn! [CH 1 - 75]

Chapter 61 - Path Towards Calamity 1

Lao Jianghu who had been resting up until a while ago suddenly opened his eyes in shock "No... This can't be! How did he...?"

Mu Gu was shocked by Lao Jianghu's sudden actions and felt something was wrong "What-What's wrong?" He then felt his hair standing as he looked up "No way... Is that thing still alive?"

Bi Liang's mouth opened wide as he gaped in shock. He glared upwards as his expression changed into anger "Damn! Will this never end?"

Lao Jianghu gritted his teeth and attempted to get up. Blood sprayed from his mouth and he felt weak, so weak that he fell on his back "I... Can't... Fail..."

Suddenly, a small hand clasped his shoulder and a faint golden mist covered his whole body. He felt his wounds were beginning to heal and his damaged cultivation was slowly recovering as well.

He looked up and saw Cheng Hao was glaring upwards as he healed Lao Jianghu through the use of his Golden Aura "Old man, you have done what you could, do not push yourself any further" He kneeled beside him and grinned as Goldy hovered behind him "It is our turn now. We will take care of it, so rest and relax!"

Two white robed people stepped up, releasing a pressure on par with the peak Sung stage and mid level Reverend stage respectively. They hid their appearance beneath the hoods so people couldn't recognize them and proceeded to sit down and aid Mu Gu with the Healing Process by pouring in their cultivation in the technique.

Lao Jianghu trembled once and then tears fell from his eyes as he gritted his teeth in anger "Kill him... Kill that bastard once and for all!"

Cheng Hao smiled and nodded. He straightened himself and walked forward. After a few steps he lifted his head and was surprised to find Wu and Sou Rou were standing on his path, staring at him intensively.

He walked up to them and made a slight bow "I apologize for what my actions may have caused to you. Right now though, I cannot pay you back, I can only offer you an apology..."

Wu Rou smiled and she also bowed gratefully "You needn't apologize, Lord Sect Head. I am really thankful of the boon you have given to me... As well as the help you have given to my disciple" She turned to look at Sou Rou and the girl stepped forward, determination flashing through her eyes.

She knelt on the ground and kowtowed "Lord Sect Head, this humble disciple thanks you for saving my life! From now on, my life belongs to you, Lord Sect Head!" She banged her head on the ground before Cheng Zhao could stop her.

Her forehead bled and the blood fell on the ground "Please, Sect Head! Protect our Sect! This Sect is my home, its members are my family! I will selfishly ask you to win this fight: I am weak and do not have the strength to do that, but I believe that Sect Head does! Do whatever you want with me as a repayment, kill me, use me to refine a soul crystal, sell my body... But please, help them!"

She closed her eyes and bit her lips trembling as she prepared herself for the worst. Big drops fell down from her cheeks as she cried. Cheng Hao looked down silently as his face showed no emotions.

"What are you talking about? What repayment?" He finally asked grinning widely as she helped the beautiful girl up and gently grabbed her chin so she could look at him "If such a beautiful young woman such as you is willing to give up everything for others, how could I possibly decline her request?"
