Chapter 308: Can’t Afford Offend Those Below
“The barrier leading to the eighth level is broken, and soon, the seventh level one will be too.”
“We’ll see more of each level we break through. If they manage to break through to the fifth level, we might be able to mostly see what’s happening inside.”
“They should have discovered the problem below and are breaking through the levels. If everything goes well, they will reach the fifth level tomorrow.”
At this moment, all the experts outside were looking at the Black Peak Tower.
As they watched everyone break through the barriers, they had their guesses and expectations.
This was because they had confirmed one thing. There were no beasts on the ninth and eighth floors.
This was not normal.
Needless to say, the problem was on the fifth level.
They were also very curious as to what had caused this to happen.
They had a feeling that the answer would be beyond their expectations. They had no idea what went wrong.
However, if it had exceeded their expectation, then so be it. Sometimes, changes with plans couldn’t compare to unexpected changes.
Perhaps the situation would become more interesting.
The convergence of the aura at the tip of the Black Peak Tower was not slow at all.
At this moment, the two dazzling lights in the sky had turned into six.
Four more people were fighting.
It was morning.
“Another day has passed, do you think you still have a high chance of winning?” Ran Jing looked at Miao Yue and asked softly.
She sat there and looked at the third and fourth levels, dignified and calm.
Miao Yue glanced at Ran Jing and smiled under her veil.
“Does Ran Jing want me to win or lose?”
Ran Jing remained silent.
The barrier to the seventh level was broken. They could see even more now, and they were about to reach the sixth level.
Once they reached the sixth level, it meant that they would immediately know what happened on the fifth level.
Many people were waiting. Those inside should be able to break through to the fifth level around noon.
…
Boom!
The sixth level.
Lin An and the others looked up at the sky, feeling as if this place could be destroyed at any moment.
“They are breaking through to the sixth level from the seventh level? That’s not normal.” Lin An furrowed his brows.
“That’s impossible.” Bei Fang frowned.
“There’s only one possibility. The people on the ninth and eighth floors have already arrived on the seventh floor and are currently heading towards us.
As for why…”
Bei Fang looked down at the fifth level.
They could all feel the power coming from below.
This power was not weak at all.
Others might not know what was going on, but they more or less knew.
“Since they came down from the ninth level, they must have come for the fifth level. Should we participate? “Hong Luan asked the people beside him.
There were many of them.
However, some people had already been sent out.
Naturally, they had also collected quite a few treasures. It was hard to say whether they were in a good situation or not as they didn’t have the time to check the treasures they had obtained.
Fighting with others in this environment was of great help to their cultivation.
They could more accurately gauge how strong they were. Sparring was incomparable to fighting in this place.
The sixth level didn’t involve the Dao. They mainly exchanged their views on Dharma spells.
Boom!
Cracks began to appear.
The power below became increasingly obvious.
They knew that the sixth floor had been breached by those on the seventh floor.
“Find Senior Brother Lu Jian and the others immediately. We have to let them know what’s going on down there,” Lin An immediately said.
Yes.
They knew how dangerous the situation below was.
Especially Bei Fang, Lin An and Hong Luan.
It was because they had seen that person before.
Woosh!
A powerful force began to appear in the sky.
Some of those who were unprepared were swept away by this wave of power.
Only a few, of course.
Lin An and the others had made their preparations. With the advantage of numbers, although none of them were eliminated, Ji Jiang was unfortunately heavily injured.
Lin An looked at Ji Jiang and said gently.
“Junior Brother, did you really not hurt yourself?”
Ji Jiang, who was lying on the ground, looked at his Senior Brother in despair.
“Senior Brother, it’s real this time.”
“Let’s find Senior Lu Jian and the others first,” Hong Luan said.
The few of them nodded. Then, they looked at the sky above the sixth level. There were already many people descending.
They just hoped that the location of where their Senior Brother was at wasn’t too far off.
Otherwise, it would be easy for them to be cleared out of the sixth level by powerhouses of other factions.
After all, the cultivation of every single person above them was higher than theirs.
The strongest among them was a perfected Human Immortal, while the weakest among those above them was an early-stage True Immortal.
Boom!
Suddenly, a sword landed in front of them and stopped them from leaving.
Lin An and the others immediately took precautions.
If there was no other way, they could only split up and escape. There would always be a few who could escape.
“You guys sure are gathered pretty nearly. Why is Bei Fang on this floor?” Lu Jian asked as he descended from the sky and landed before the sword.
“Senior Brother Lu Jian.” Lin An and the others heaved a sigh of relief.
It was much safer with their Senior Brother around.
“Looks like the problem lies on the next level. Step back a little. Those people are going to directly break through the fifth level,” Lu Jian said as he drew his sword.
They had actually split up to search for Lin An. Lin An and the others were lucky to have been found so quickly.
Some of the juniors on the seventh floor were not so lucky.
“Does Senior Brother Lu Jian also want to participate in it?” Bei Fang immediately asked.
“Is there a problem?” Lu Jian asked curiously.
Wasn’t this normal?
Everyone participated in this, all of them wanting to know what the source of this power was.
It was probably a surprise that the people outside had prepared for them.
Only with this surprise factor would the gathering be interesting.
“Senior Brother might not know, but two days ago, someone had cleared out everyone on the fifth level. We had to go to the sixth floor. As for the person who cleared the fifth floor, Senior Brother Lu Jian knows him. He was the one who had exterminated all the ghostly cultivators in the Ice Cicada Forest alone. “Bei Fang immediately said.
He had to talk about this.
Because this meant one thing.
The reason why the fifth level was abnormal was because of that person.
If they were involved, then…
The consequences would be unpredictable.
Furthermore, that person should also be someone from Kunlun.
As for who it was, Bei Fang still had no clue.
He did not investigate further.
The other party had no ill intentions towards Kunlun. It was highly possible that he was a low-key personal disciple.
So…
There was no need to find out who he was.
That was what his master had said.
“Are you serious?”
Hearing what Bei Fang said, Lu Jian was stunned.
Did this mean that they were just sending themselves down to die?
But this was really exciting.
“I’ll go talk to Senior Brother Leng Wu. For the time being, we should avoid him.” As Lu Jian spoke, he leaped up.
Lin An and the others had no intention of staying any longer, and they all followed along.
…
“You people can continue. We won’t be participating in what’s happening later, but I have to remind you people something.”
Leng Wu looked at the experts from the other forces and said calmly.
“I just received news that there’s an expert on the next level. Once you guys break through to that level, a disaster might descend upon you guys.”
He was clearly telling them that Kunlun did not intend to provoke the powerhouse on the fifth level.
Whoever wanted to provoke the powerhouse could proceed themselves. Kunlun was definitely not one of them.
And Leng Wu had made this decision based on what he had heard from Lu Jian and the rest.
He had never met that person before.
That person was actually not famous in Kunlun. At least, he did not know who he was.
Only Lu Jian and his party were lucky enough to meet him and speak to him.
As for the others…
They probably did not have the chance to.
Everyone shot a glance at Kunlun and the others before ignoring them.
They then kept going.
Everyone’s strength poured down.
Their distance to the fifth level was rapidly shrinking.
Soon, the fifth level would appear before them.
