The sword beam sliced through the demoness’s skin.

  The demoness tried to retreat in shock.

  But…


  Lu Jian did not have the slightest intention of retreating. He resisted all attacks and swept forward with his sword.

  Pu!

  The demoness’ sword struck Lu Jian’s body while Lu Jian’s sword sliced through his opponent’s body.

  In the blink of an eye, he had swept out several times.

  Lu Jian’s sword moved faster and faster, becoming stronger and stronger.

  Woosh!

  The sword was like light and fast as a shadow.

  Lu Jian walked past the demoness with a single step.

  At that moment, the demoness turned to look at Lu Jian with a face full of fear.

  Madman.

  Then, she disappeared.

  “Well, one is gone.”


  Lu Jian looked at the other two injured people.

  The battle erupted instantly.

  More and more injuries appeared on Lu Jian.

  However, his aura became stronger and stronger and his sword intent turned biting cold.

  The two demons began to suspect that they had fallen into an illusion.

  …


  The people outside looked at the Black Peak Pagoda and realized that there were many forces sweeping past the center of the ninth and eighth levels.

  They knew that there were currently fights on the ninth and eighth levels.

  The bottom levels should follow suit soon.

  However, the vicious beasts had still yet to appear.

  At this moment, an aura appeared at the top of Black Peak Tower.

  It was very weak.

  And few people would notice it.

  Mo Zhengdong looked at the wisp of aura calmly.

  “It’s starting to appear. I wonder who will get it in the end.”


  …


  “What is this?”


  The Eighth Prince looked at the top of the Black Peak Pagoda and felt an aura appearing there.

  He couldn’t see clearly, but there was indeed something.

  As this thing appeared, the Black Peak Tower also seemed to have changed.

  The fifth level gave people a different feeling.

  Something might be hidden there.

  “Which powerhouse is on the fifth level?”


  The Eighth Prince thought about it carefully, but he could not think of anyone powerful on the fifth level.

  The powerful ones were definitely on the ninth and eighth levels.

  Looking at the empty chair beside him, the Eighth Prince sighed.

  The youth went to look after the shop again.

  Actually, it was fine even if he didn’t go and look after it. He was most likely going to see the girl from the Heavenly Feather Phoenix Race again.

  “Brother…”


  Bang!

  The Eighth Prince directly slashed out with his halberd and knocked that person flying further away.

  This person kept coming over to call him brother.

  It felt pretty weird.

  …


  “Looks like the problem is indeed on the fifth level.”


  Zhu Qing said.

  Now, everyone could clearly see that there was a problem with the fifth level.

  There seemed to be a force there.

  But no one could tell exactly what it was.

  Unless they forcefully broke through the seal of the Black Peak Tower.

  However, this way, the aura on the tower would also disappear.

  This was something that most people did not want to see.

  Sealing the tower off made it a real battle inside. Otherwise, it would be just considered as playing around.

  “The ninth and eighth floors are about to collapse. The lower levels should start fighting soon.” Miao Yue sat there and said softly.

  Zhu Qing nodded. Once the fights reached the fifth level, they would have a general idea of what was going on.

  Many people did not know what was happening as well.

  No one had expected it.

  Perhaps everyone felt that a certain faction had secretly done something.

  But they just didn’t know who it was.

  Of course…


  Kunlun was the most likely culprit.

  After all, this was Kunlun’s territory.

  “Kunlun is said to be aloof from worldly affairs. However, I wonder if you are interested in something?” Ran Jing, who had been silent for a long time, looked at Miao Yue and company as though she was hinting at something.

  “Is the Dragon Race interested in it?” Miao Yue naturally meant something too.

  “We dragons have fought for many years. Naturally, we have some pursuits.

  They’re different from Kunlun’s,” said Ran Jing softly.

  Miao Yue looked at the peak of Black Peak Tower and said.

  “The main halls of the various summits of Kunlun are dilapidated and the day when the Goddess becomes an immortal is soon arriving.

  As such, the day of the wedding is also approaching. We will have to go through a lot of trouble and spend a lot of money again.”


  “When the princess of our Dragon Race gets married, we will definitely support her greatly. Our dowry will definitely satisfy Kunlun,” said Ran Jing softly.

  “Then let’s continue watching.” Miao Yue said.

  After a moment of silence, Ran Jing suddenly said.

  “Once Longyu marries Jiang Lan, she will be counted as someone from Kunlun.”


  “Of course.” Miao Yue nodded.

  The way these two people spoke made a third party feel like they were not answering each other’s questions.

  However, Zhu Qing naturally understood what they were saying.

  Something had appeared on the Black Peak Tower. The Dragon Race was asking Kunlun if they wanted it.

  Even if the dragons wanted it, they had to have the support of Kunlun.

  Her Senior Sister didn’t refuse, but she wanted the Dragon Race to pay a sufficient price.

  The dragons had agreed.

  However, Xiao Yu could not be considered part of the price. Xiao Yu was a member of Kunlun and not a member of the Dragon Race.

  That was the general idea.

  On the other hand, Ao Longyu did not fully understand what was going on.

  She did not think much about it.

  She just stood quietly behind her master.

  …


  …


  Boom!

  Within the Black Peak Tower, the space above the eighth floor began to crack.

  Lu Jian pulled the sword out of the demoness’ body and said somewhat tiredly.

  “Like I said, you people will be sent out first. Are demons so weak? You people even said that your bodies were very strong.

  The next time you meet people from the Eighth Summit, you better be more polite. If you do not have more than five people at the same cultivation realm, do not bother besieging us. It’s for your own good.”


  “You… I don’t believe that everyone in Kunlun is like you.” The demon lying on the ground looked angrily at the road.

  He felt insulted and humiliated.

  It was as humiliating as pressing him to the ground and stepping on his face.

  “Haha, you don’t think I’m powerful, do you?” Lu Jian pointed his sword at the demon’s neck and said.

  “I’ll tell you the truth. In front of the true genius of Kunlun, even a hundred of me might not be able to hurt him. Are you scared? Have your horizons been widened?”


  Pu!

  The sword directly decapitated the demons.

  “But I don’t care if you do or not. It’s better for you to just die quickly.”


  He killed the demons and sent them out.

  This way, he would have enough strength to meet up with his fellow disciples when the eighth level collapsed.

  Furthermore, the eighth level was about to collapse. He hoped that his Junior Brothers and Sisters below would gather as soon as possible so that he could find them easily.

  The various factions would all gather on the fifth or sixth level and that was where the true Witchcloud Gathering began.

  There would be a chaotic battle.

  In the evening.

  Boom!

  The layer connecting the eighth floor to the ninth floor crumbled and shattered.

  Lu Jian had almost recovered fully. He then began to avoid the unfamiliar Heaven Immortals and search for his Senior Brothers.

  The power of a Heaven Immortal was not something True Immortals like him could compare to.

  If he were to run around randomly, he would be easily injured.

  And just as he was trying to find his fellow disciples, he suddenly felt a force appear below him.

  It was a little vague.

  “What a strange power. It’s not weak at all. Why is it coming from below?”


  “It did not appear just now too but only appeared when the link from the eighth to the ninth level was broken. Is it because the barriers between the various levels have weakened?”


  That should be it.

  It was not only Lu Jian who felt that power. There were also over twenty Heavenly Immortals who felt the same.

  “Haha, there seems to be another surprise below?”


  “It’s a very powerful force. I have already told you that if there was nothing else, this gathering would seem boring.”


  “Let’s fight our way down.”


  All the Heavenly Immortals had suddenly discovered something that piqued their interest.

  Boom!

  The seventh level was quickly broken through. By this time, Lu Jian had gathered beside his Senior Brothers on the eighth level.

  “The feeling is getting stronger, but I’m not sure which realm the person is at,” Lu Jian said while standing beside the group which consisted of his Senior and Junior Brothers.

  Among these people, Leng Wu was the strongest.

  He glanced at Lu Jian. Lu Jian had directly killed off three demons.

  He knew that Lu Jian was talented, and his attacks were terrifying.

  As everyone knew, even if one had nothing to do, one should never mess with Lu Jian.

  “Bring the Junior Brothers and Sisters over and we shall continue our journey downwards. Currently, everyone wants to see the source of this power.” Leng Wu said.
