Ye Ge's situation is quite unique. Firstly, her soul bears the imprint of Chen Xuanfeng's mental energy, so she has an inherent connection with the Hook Soul blade, meaning she won't be harmed by its power attributes. Moreover, the reason dark elves have black skin is because their bloodline carries the dark divine power of the "Spider Queen," Lolth. Therefore, for Ye Ge, the vast dark magical power contained in the Hook Soul won’t harm her as long as it doesn’t overwhelm her all at once. Instead, it can strengthen her body and magic power through continuous dark baptism.

Moreover, this method has another advantage: it solves the issue of swordsmanship. Originally, Chen Xuanfeng's Nine Yin Ultimate Technique, the "Kunlun Extinction Blade," requires Nine Yin True Qi as its foundational energy to be executed. Even with strong battle qi, it can only enhance the technique but cannot serve as its core. The Hook Soul Blade, having accompanied Chen Xuanfeng through many battles, has engraved his swordsmanship into the core of his consciousness. In other words, the "Kunlun Extinction Blade" and the martial arts derived from it are the only techniques capable of unleashing the full power of the Hook Soul. Elves, being natural elemental beings, cannot generate battle qi and can only enhance themselves with elements. How could they possibly cultivate Nine Yin True Qi? However, the "Slave Soldier Technique" is based on the consciousness of a divine weapon. When the magic blade actively leads the soldier slaves into battle, the reversed manipulation method bypasses the requirement for Nine Yin True Qi, allowing the dark elf girl to perform Chen Xuanfeng's swordsmanship. Although her understanding and mastery of it cannot compare to that of a werewolf, the blade’s true master, the unity of person and blade still produces earth-shattering power.

At this moment, the defenders of the entire Hua Yin City were witnessing the dark elf girl's immense power with their own lives.

With each flash of the purple blade, large splashes of blood flew. After only a dozen or so moves, dozens of skilled fighters had already fallen before the dark elf. Although Ye Ge, due to her constitution, couldn't unleash the water, wind, earth, and light elements contained within the Hook Soul, she could merge perfectly with the blade's strongest dark power. Her strength surged, her movements were lightning-fast, and her entire body was enveloped in purple light. Wherever the Hook Soul's magic power reached, she became nearly invulnerable, naturally blocking anyone who intended to harm Xue Li.

The elf sisters attacked together, one from a distance and one up close. Within just a few minutes, over a hundred elite fighters had fallen at the city gate, while Chen Xuanfeng and his two companions had already charged into the Magic Tower.

Sure enough, the tower contained hidden depths. As Chen Xuanfeng fought his way to the top and broke through a secret door, he discovered a massive architectural space above, ten times wider than the lower tower. It was clear that this was where the forbidden spell caster was hiding, so they pressed forward.

However, compared to the ordinary lower levels of the Magic Tower, the path ahead was a hundred times more difficult. Especially after Chen Xuanfeng forcibly broke open the door, the entire space echoed with explosions. Countless magic runes lit up, and numerous lower plane monsters were summoned, filling all the floors and corridors. The real deadly traps were completely invisible, not even leaking any magical fluctuations. At the same time, many areas began to distort space, forming spatial mazes, while in other places, the walls turned into tall golem guards, setting up layered defensive formations.

"This is truly a meticulously crafted top-tier Magic Tower. Although it still falls short compared to the Twelve Sages' River of Death Tower, it makes up for it in quantity. Li Jia, you should be able to crack these traps, right?" Jin Luosha, with the eyes of a top mage, still had great appreciation for the facilities here. Although the magical caliber was average, the effort and resources invested were astounding.

"Yes, Miss." Although Li Jia's main role was that of a Crystal Dragon Knight, her memory core contained vast magical knowledge, and with her extraordinary perception and computational abilities, she was also an expert at cracking magic traps.

With her intelligence and abilities, and the complete protection of her anti-magic crystal dragon armor, Li Jia handled the traps with ease. Meanwhile, Jin Luosha's light magic was more than sufficient to deal with the hellish monsters. Even if some celestial beings were summoned, Jin Luosha could simply counter-summon them and send them back home. As for the spatial mazes, Jin Luosha would use the "Lonely Staff" to fix them in place, so a maze that couldn't change could not trap them. If they encountered any golems, it was naturally Chen Xuanfeng's job. With the "Imperial Hate Blade" and "Star Catastrophe Sword," two magical weapons, there was no golem or puppet that could withstand them except for a crystal dragon.

So, despite the winding path, the three of them reached the true top floor of the Magic Tower after over two hours.

"Hmph, I'm sure the person inside already knows that they have no way to escape via spatial transfer. I wonder what their plan is now? Surrender, or a desperate fight to the death?" Chen Xuanfeng stood before the final door and said with a cold laugh.

Chen Xuanfeng was still in his human form, so he wasn't worried about the forbidden spell caster inside knowing he was a werewolf, and thus the enemy probably still couldn't determine his intentions. At the same time, he was certain that casting a forbidden spell took a long time. From the moment they launched their attack until now, there was absolutely not enough time to activate a forbidden spell to perish together. That was why he had the courage to charge in so directly.

"Boom————" The final door opened.

Chen Xuanfeng entered first and shouted, "Robbery! Everyone inside, listen up, hand over all your valuables————"

At that moment, the sun had just started to set.

Meanwhile, far over a hundred kilometers away, a small adventure team was heading towards the Hua Yin Tower.

"Hey, Morova, is it really true that a great archmage invited us?" asked a lovely thief-dressed girl.

"Ah, Roland, how many times are you going to ask? Morova has already explained it," answered the iron-armored big man, not the taciturn red-haired youth.

"But, I always feel like Morova and Xi Luo are secretly planning something, and they won't let us know," the thief girl said with frustration.

"Alright, Roland," interrupted the black-haired youth carrying a white crystal sword and exuding a holy aura. "The information we obtained from our last adventure was very important, so the great archmage who finally got the information wants to meet us to understand some details of the adventure and is willing to offer compensation for it. It's as simple as that, isn't it?"
