【Chapter 095】The Ladder of Integrity
【Chapter 095】The Ladder of Integrity
In the crowd of more than a dozen people, a handsome young man in gray loudly questioned the eight people on the stairs: "Why are you stopping us from going up?"
"We didn't stop you from getting on, we just asked you to get under us."
The person who said this was a male cultivator who was about 1.9 meters tall and had a muscular body.
His physique stood out among the group of people.
Judging from his appearance, he should be an individual cultivator.
On the steps where spiritual energy could not be used, his martial arts power clearly crushed everyone else.
After he said that, his companions all burst into laughter.
"Hahaha……"
"You...you are going too far!" The young man in gray clothes flushed red in the face, obviously very angry.
"Hahahaha...we are just going too far, what can you do to us?" A thin young man with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks looked at the people below the stairs provocatively.
Standing on the same stairs, the person standing on the upper step naturally has the advantage.
If a fight breaks out, the person at the bottom of the stairs will likely be pushed off the stairs by the person at the top. This is also the reason why everyone is blocking here and not taking any rash action.
Of course, there are also people who recognize the people on the steps and feel they cannot afford to offend them; there are also people who do not want to be the first to stand out.
Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, a cold voice rang out.
"What's going on?"
Everyone looked at the person who spoke.
I saw a young man in white clothes coming up from the stairs below. He has handsome features, a cold face, and his eyes are cold no matter who he looks at.
Nangong Chenyu was standing next to the young man. He felt the same aura on the boy as on Jun Han, and it was not difficult to guess that the boy must have ice spiritual roots. Moreover, his cultivation had just reached a breakthrough not too long ago, and his aura had not yet been completely restrained.
The person standing in front of the young man subconsciously made way for him.
The young man was sweating profusely, but his steps were calm.
He walked upward step by step.
When the eight people at the top of the stairs saw the young man, their expressions changed dramatically. However, when the boy reached the last step approaching them, everyone moved to the sides to make way for him.
The eight men obviously knew the boy, and he was someone they could not afford to offend.
Nangong Chenyu followed behind the young man, and after the young man walked up the stairs, the eight people immediately stopped Nangong Chenyu and prevented him from going up.
The 1.9-meter-tall male cultivator opened his legs and pointed at his crotch: "If you want to get up there, just crawl over there."
Nangong Chenyu has grown a lot taller recently and is almost 1.8 meters tall. But compared with the male cultivator in front of him, he was obviously much worse. In addition, the other person was taller and stronger than him. No one thought that he would be a match for the male cultivators.
"Heh~" Nangong Chenyu chuckled and stepped back two steps.
Just when everyone thought he was going to give up, he said to the gray-clothed boy standing next to him: "Daoyou, I want to borrow something from you."
"What do you want to borrow?" The young man in gray looked alert.
Nangong Chenyu didn't say anything, he just reached out and grabbed the belt of the gray-clothed boy. The young man in gray cried out in surprise and quickly grabbed his pants which were sliding down.
“You you…”
The young man in gray was so angry that he wanted to curse, but Nangong Chenyu didn't have time to pay attention to him.
The belt was thrown out, and the ankle of the tall male cultivator standing on the steps was entangled. Nangong Chenyu pulled hard, and the male cultivator was lifted up and flew over the heads of the crowd.
"ah!!!"
"The last person who dared to challenge me has grass three feet high on his grave."
Nangong Chenyu took back the belt and quickly wrapped it around the ankle of another male cultivator.
When everyone reacted to his words, the second male cultivator was also thrown out by him.
"ah!!!"
Another scream.
The remaining six people on the top of the stairs quickly retreated to both sides of the stairs. He even made a gesture of invitation with a tactful look: "Please."
"Do you want to withdraw on your own, or do you want me to give you a ride?" Nangong Chenyu added, "You guys don't plan to join Yunjue Palace anyway."
"How do you know?" a quick-witted person asked back.
The person standing next to him quickly covered his mouth with his hand.
They really had not thought about joining the Yunjue Palace. The reason they stood here to stop everyone was to follow the orders of the head of the family and eliminate opponents for the geniuses in the clan.
But this kind of thing must not be said out loud!
Nangong Chenyu swung out his belt again and wrapped it around one of their ankles. The man was so frightened that he crushed the jade slip and disappeared on the spot. Upon seeing this, the other five also crushed the jade slip.
"I'll give it back to you." Nangong Chenyu threw the belt back to the young man in gray.
"You are so awesome." The young man in gray knew what Nangong Chenyu was using his belt for, and he didn't blame Nangong Chenyu for pulling his belt without his consent.
"You're a very nice person."
The young man in gray did not forget to give Nangong Chenyu the good guy card. In his opinion, Nangong Chenyu obviously didn't need to drive away the others, but Nangong Chenyu still drove them away.
But it will be convenient for the people behind.
If this kind of person is not a good person, then what is he?
In fact, Nangong Chenyu did this because of Ye Yishen. He didn't know whether Ye Yishen walked in front of him or behind him.
Seeing that no one was blocking their way, the others continued to move up the stairs. Except for the young man in gray, no one thought of thanking Nangong Chenyu.
"Thank you! If it weren't for you, we don't know when we can continue to go up." The young man in gray clothes thanked while tying his belt.
After he finished speaking, he found that no one answered him. When he looked up, he saw that the person who had been standing with him just now had gone up seven or eight steps.
When he reached the 62nd step, Nangong Chenyu surpassed the young man in white. When he reached the 80th step, Nangong Chenyu felt the pressure coming towards him again.
After training his body on the spot for ten minutes, he found that the pressure had no effect on him.
When he stepped onto the 101st step, he clearly felt the temperature around him rise by ten degrees. The further up you go, the higher the temperature.
When he reached the 150th step, Nangong Chenyu felt like he was in a furnace, with his whole body being roasted by flames.
Some monks with poor physical strength fainted on the spot.
Seeing these people fainted, Nangong Chenyu couldn't help but worry about Ye Yishen. Ye Yishen used to be a sickly person, but after becoming a cultivator, his physique became slightly better than that of ordinary people.
God seemed to know Nangong Chenyu’s worries, and soon he saw Ye Yishen walking unsteadily in front.
He took a few quick steps and caught up with Ye Yishen.
"Yisheng."
Although he didn't walk many steps, Ye Yishen felt like his feet were no longer his own. Baked by the high temperature, his mind was in a mess. Hearing a familiar voice beside his ears, he subconsciously turned his head to look.
"Nangong..." He didn't say the second young master, so he quickly changed his name to "Ayu."
Nangong Chenyu said "hmm" and reached out to hold Ye Yishen's hand. He should have held Ye Yishen's hand before, maybe they would not have been separated.
After walking up two hundred steps, both of them felt like they had swum in water and were drenched in sweat.
"Let's dry our clothes first before we leave." Nangong Chenyu took off his coat and wrung it dry with his hands.
Ye Yishen didn't ask why, he just did as Nangong Chenyu said.
The people following behind the two men saw their actions and imitated them. When they reached the 201st step, they were extremely grateful to have learned from Nangong Chenyu and the other two.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the clothes on my body were dry. Nangong Chenyu held Ye Yishen's hand and stepped onto the 201st step.
The next moment, both of them shuddered. Just because the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped from 70 or 80 degrees to a few degrees below zero.
Some people whose clothes were wet wanted to go back and dry them. When they looked back, they saw a white fog. Some people gritted their teeth and moved forward; some people refused to believe it and took a step back, and ended up returning directly to the gate of Yunjue Palace.
The higher you go, the lower the temperature.
Some people whose clothes were wet were turned into ice sculptures.
When he reached the 270th step, although Ye Yishen did not turn into an ice sculpture, his whole body was like an ice block. If Nangong Chenyu had not pulled him, he would not have been able to take a single step.
"Don't... bother... me... anymore!" His teeth were chattering as he spoke. He couldn't even finish a sentence and could only utter it word by word.
"Once we finish walking up the three hundred steps, it won't be cold anymore. Just hold on a little longer."
Although Nangong Chenyu also felt very cold, he had been to places that were colder than here. Compared to others, he seemed fine.
"It's so cold~" Ye Yishen followed Nangong Chenyu mechanically.
When everyone reached the 300th step, they felt like they were alive again.
In the first three hundred steps, more than three thousand people were eliminated, including Ye Yuncheng and Ye Yixin.
The brother and sister didn't even finish the first hundred steps.
The two people, who were originally very depressed, were comforted instantly when they saw that a group of monks who were more powerful and older than them were eliminated.
After resting for a quarter of an hour, Nangong Chenyu and Ye Yishen stepped onto the 301st step.
A strong wind blew, and the hair and robes of the two people were blown up.
The further you go, the stronger the wind becomes.
Even Nangong Chenyu, a well-informed man, had to admit that the tests on the Yunjue Palace's Ladder of Inquiry were very perverted.
The day passed quickly.
When Nangong Chenyu and Ye Yisheng stepped onto the 401st step, two lightning bolts as thick as chopsticks struck straight towards them. The two of them took two quick steps and barely dodged it.
Not only the two of them, but everyone else walking on steps 401 to 499 were avoiding the lightning.
All the integer steps are not challenging and are the best places to rest.
Nangong Chenyu and Ye Yishen rested on the 500th step for a quarter of an hour before continuing forward.
When the two stepped onto the 501st step, everything in front of them went dark. There were gusts of cold wind in their ears, and there were several people standing motionless in front of them.
The two men climbed up three steps and saw a headless ghost floating towards them.
The two of them quickly moved aside to avoid being touched by the headless ghost.
A male cultivator behind the two was not so lucky, as he bumped into the headless ghost. The black gas floated by, and the two saw the male cultivator standing there motionless.
