Under the vast overcast sky is the vast land, where no grass grows. It is not as good as the eternal wasteland on the tail of the wild beast, nor as good as the desolate grassland of Goulong Bangshi. It is boundless and lifeless, as if it is bounded by some kind of force, which completely denies everything here, making it difficult for any creature to grow, and people cannot influence, change, or ask for anything.

There was only cold air floating on the desolate land, like a thread, and it had accumulated on the ground to the ankles of Li Lunming and the other two. There was no such thick cold air before, but a moment ago, with a stream of light shooting from the tower, there was such a change. Undoubtedly, the person who came was an important person.

Li Lunming had seen and associated with important people. Xia Xiao and Azhu were important people, so they were not afraid, and did not even try to block the fierce light. They just stood there. There was only one beam of light in the cloudy sky, shining on Li Lunming and the other two, giving them an extremely mysterious aura, like messengers carrying a heavy responsibility, walking in a special dark place, to find the antidote to save the warriors.

The atmosphere was solemn enough, but the toes of Xia Xiao and Azhu's boots had curled up and kept rubbing. Soon, the toes could not feel anything. Xia Xiao thought that with his current strength, he would not feel such coldness again. He did not expect that there would be people beyond people, and there would be heaven beyond heaven. The nature of the world would always conquer people.

As the icy cold air spread in all directions, a person fell from it. This person was dressed in a black robe, and his aura was almost towering. In the academy, there were countless people like him. But in the current Nine-story Senran Tower, there was only one person with such strength. Before coming, Li Lunming and Xia Xiao did some homework, so just a general aura allowed them to judge the strength of the person who came at this time. With the strength, the identity can naturally be known.

Xia Xiao took off his coat and put it on Azhu. Then, like Li Lunming beside him, he looked at the man in black floating on the ground.

"Meet the Master of the Tower."

Xia Xiao led Ah Zhu to pay his respects, not wanting the Tower Master to find any flaws. The latter also bowed slightly, then said:

"Everyone, the Nine-Storey Senran Tower never welcomes foreign guests. Please go back."

"We need the help of the tower master."

Li Lunming's strength might be much stronger than the tower master's, but just a little fluctuation was enough for the tower master to take it seriously. No matter which world, no matter how the cultivation system changes, strength is respected. Everyone knows this, but there are many people who want to avoid the fact.

The tower master and Li Lunming looked straight at each other. Even though the former raised his head, his face was still covered by black. There were two bright eyes in the black, but Li Lunming was not afraid of it, just waiting for him to speak. The tower master probably knew what Li Lunming was going to say at this time, and he was a little worried. Half a month had passed, and he came only now. Was it because of him or because of Luo Jing? He glanced at Xia Xiao inadvertently. The latter was standing with Azhu. There was still no trace of their aura, which made him feel their arrival at this time. It was really magical. The more he thought about it, the more difficult it was to understand. The more he studied, the more he wanted to know the answer.

Before Li Lunming opened his mouth, the tower master did not lose his composure and just said:

"The Nine-story Senran Tower and the academy have never owed each other anything, nor have they had any dealings with each other, but if something really happens, we are willing to help them, as long as it does not harm the interests of our Nine-story Senran Tower."

"We're just here to take the handouts we have at the time."

"Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

"What's wrong with that? From what the two seniors said, I know you don't think highly of Xia Xiao, and even think he's a gangster. But the benevolence and virtue of a gentleman cannot be judged by eyes alone, and it is even more impossible to reject it. Luo Jing said that he had to take something from Xia Xiao in order to exert his strongest strength, which was an impolite act. Xia Xiao made Luo Jing look defeated, but he still summoned the evil spirit to keep his promise. The tower master was also there at the time, and he must have known that Luo Jing had lost sincerely, but isn't it a bit immoral for you not to return the things?"

Xia Xiao didn't know that Li Lunming would talk to the Tower Master in this way. Although what he said was correct and logical, he didn't like talking to people in this way. The Tower Master also started to compete with him.

"If you came here for that killing intent, I'm sorry. The killing intent has become a part of Luo Jing's Black Tower. It's not that I don't want to take it out, nor is it that Luo Jing doesn't want to, but I can't. Otherwise, I will destroy my foundation and it will be difficult to enter the door of the cultivation world again. For a cultivator, nothing is more important than continuing to practice and build a foundation. So I can't give that killing intent back to you."

"It's not that we are stingy. The academy has never fought with external forces. We only protect our own things. But without that murderous intent, Xia Xiao has been affected, and the fire spirit beast in his body is seriously ill. Your disciple is important, but the one who came from afar is here. Whether it is the Pope of the Walking Church, the Dean, or the President, they will all choose him."

The tower master looked at Xia Xiao. Although the latter didn't like Li Lunming's words, he still stood very obediently as a disciple. Looking at the tower master, Xia Xiao's eyes were full of certainty, as if what Li Lunming said was true! What he said was indeed true. Even if the tower master didn't believe it, it was reasonable for him to find a way to solve it.

“I don’t know how to choose.”

"It is the Tower Master's freedom to choose or not. Can you let me meet Luo Jing? If there is any, I want to talk to her in person."

Li Lunming wanted to speak, but Xia Xiao was one step faster than him. Seeing his demeanor and his unyielding tone when facing the tower master, Li Lunming truly felt Xia Xiao's profound skills, but how would the tower master answer Xia Xiao?

"It's useless even if she comes, but I know there is an ancient meteorite in a distant place. Although ordinary people don't dare to use the power in it, you are the target, so maybe we can give it a try. We can go there immediately, and I will follow you personally to protect you. Maybe I can solve your problem today."

The tower master suddenly gave in and tried to change the subject. She didn't want Xia Xiao to see Luo Jing. The latter needed to keep a quiet mind to practice, otherwise she would not receive people from the academy in such a place. But even with the rude hat, she still came. Luo Jing has excellent talent, and the five elements are fire. It's hard to cultivate the dark energy and master the cold fire. She can't let Xia Xiao disrupt her practice plan. But she has her own thoughts, so how could Xia Xiao not have them?

"Let's meet. The tower master should also know about the veil. Although I have no intention of marrying her, it is fate. Once it starts, it will be difficult to end it."

"You just want to force me to help you find a way to recover. I have already promised you. Is that not enough?"

"I think the tower master has misunderstood. I really just want to meet Luo Jing. Her graceful figure that day has always been in my mind."

Li Lunming and Azhu looked at Xia Xiao together. The latter's eyes widened and his brows were furrowed for a moment.

"Master Tower Master, as elders, it is difficult for us to guess the younger generation's intentions. Just let them do what they want! Xia Xiao from my academy and your disciple Luo Jing are both elites. Even if we chat, it will only benefit us."

Xia Xiao liked what Li Lunming said this time, but the tower master didn't think so. But there was nothing she could do. If she continued to maintain the stalemate, she would seem petty and would lose face, so she sent a thought back to the tower in the distance.

Grabbing Xia Xiao's ears, Ah Zhu pulled him towards him, and put her little mouth close to his ear.

"Tell me the truth, what did you mean by that just now?"

"I was just kidding."

"fart!"

Ah Zhu burst into swearing, but Xia Xiao glanced at the tower master and lowered his voice and said:

"If we don't make her angry, she will think we are easy to fool."

Seeing the special situation and Xia Xiao's sincere face, Ah Zhu let go. But Xia Xiao was suddenly stunned. When did this girl dare to pull her ears? Ah Zhu noticed Xia Xiao's gaze and froze in place, but Xia Xiao's big hand still didn't let her go and fell on the back of her neck. In the chestnut hair, the big hand pinched Ah Zhu's neck, which made her a little painful, but Xia Xiao was teaching her a lesson, so she couldn't lose her sense of proportion.

Because Xia Xiao and Azhu's auras were completely hidden, the tower master couldn't hear them talking. But the way Xia Xiao and Azhu flirted with each other made her feel that Xia Xiao was deliberately teasing her, so she said:

"This is the last time you will see each other."

"It's not certain that our fate has not yet ended."

Xia Xiao's usual smile was seen as the smugness of a gangster in the eyes of the tower master. But she said it was the last time, and it was the last time! From now on, she would not let Luo Jing get close to this gangster. Although the tower master's face was in the dark, Xia Xiao could vaguely sense her anger, so she smiled again.

Luo Jing came very fast, she passed through the bare soil without any grass, and appeared behind the tower master. Although she had prepared herself mentally in advance, her heart beat faster and faster when she saw Xia Xiao's cold and smiling face. She was a little flustered, but Xia Xiao raised his hand, drew an arc in front of him, and made a gesture of invitation.

"Let me talk for a moment."

Luo Jing wanted to ask Xia Xiao something, so she followed him. But the two figures made the tower master frown, and Ah Zhu's eyes burned, and he wanted to rush up and walk among them. He was already more than ten meters away from the three people, but Xia Xiao was still walking, so Luo Jing followed him without asking. In this way, he walked for fifty meters.

"The rules of your Nine-story Senran Tower are quite special. Do you want to marry?"

When Xia Xiao asked this, Luo Jing couldn't move under her black clothes. She could hear her heart beating violently, as loud as a drum. Luo Jing didn't know why she was so nervous. She clenched her hands together and said:

"No."

"It's just a joke, don't take it seriously."

"Your jokes aren't funny at all. Are you doing this for that murderous intent?"

"Or will I really marry you?"

"I don't have that blessing. If everything is alright, please follow the tower master to the Falling Land. We will compensate you."

Luo Jing turned his head to the side, not wanting to talk to Xia Xiao. Xia Xiao's move was originally to anger the tower master, so he just said a few words casually and was ready to leave. But some far-reaching words are often hidden inadvertently.

"Even if you only absorbed the murderous intent of Huo Dou, you still have to be careful. He is very strong."
