If you don’t know him, you might think he is a good person.
However, Nan Xu sneered when he heard this, "Haha, you Taicang Sect are not good at fighting, but you are good at picking up loose ends and competing for first place."
They are all foxes who have practiced for thousands of years. Why are they performing Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio here?
The leader of the Taicang Sect is quite thick-skinned. At this point, he just speaks frankly and speaks frankly.
"It was indeed you who were leading the charge earlier, and you were the first to obtain the demon pill. You, the Xuanzong, can't blame anyone else for not getting it. I'm also thinking about you now. You elders can show off your strength, but can you disciples?"
The last sentence made Nan Xu's face darken.
It is undeniable that the previous fierce attack style that was like venting anger was a bit too much for the elders, not to mention the ordinary disciples.
"Okay, you guys go up to the sixteenth floor first."
Nan Xu finally nodded and decided to let his disciple recuperate for this round.
Unfortunately, things did not go as planned and something unexpected happened a few minutes later.
In order to be the first to search for treasure, the leader of Taicang Sect led his disciples to rush to the sixteenth floor. Then, as soon as his figure disappeared at the stairs, screams followed.
"ah!"
The shrill screams echoed inside the ancient tower, making people's scalps numb instantly.
Everyone still on the fifteenth floor stood up at once, their expressions solemn.
Something happened.
"The rest of the disciples stay behind, and the elders from each sect follow me first." Nan Xu didn't care about the previous agreement and immediately ordered to preserve the sect's fire.
The other sects also subconsciously followed her words, spontaneously formed teams, and walked in the front.
As he walked, Liancheng realized something was wrong.
"Hey, you..." He looked at the girl walking in front of him, his eyes full of confusion.
"Hmm?" Ye Lan glanced back at him and said softly, "Wasn't it arranged like this before?"
Liancheng: “…”
Forehead.
While this is true, can the situation be the same now?!
He wanted to pull the person down, but the entrance to the sixteenth floor was already very close. Just as he opened his mouth to say something more, Nan Xu, who was at the front, suddenly slipped and fell straight down.
"Big Sister!"
Lian Cheng was startled and quickly reached out to grab it, but a demonic energy emerged from the air, grabbed his arm and pulled it down hard.
The force was too great, and they were on the stairs, crowded together and didn't want to bump into anyone, so their movements became difficult.
Seeing someone pushing him from behind, and about to fall down together——
Swish.
Suddenly, a white light flashed in front of him, and then the evil energy on his arm was instantly cut off.
Lian Cheng steadied himself and looked back, only to find that the girl who had almost been pulled out of the team by him was holding two fingers together, and her internal energy was so strong that it condensed into a solid long whip. Wherever the whip passed, the evil spirits were cut off one by one.
And in her other hand, she was holding Nan Xu...
After dealing with the demonic tentacles, everyone huddled close to the wall to avoid being hit again.
After being pulled up, Nan Xu looked at Ye Lan with a complicated expression and thanked him softly, "You helped us again."
She was talking about us, who gave all the credit to Xuanzong.
Ye Lan knew that she was feeling awkward and had some issues, but he didn't point them out. He just nodded and said, "You're welcome."
No one expected that the stairs inside the ancient tower would be corroded by evil spirits.
"This hole is more like a trap." Lian Cheng looked out, blocked a wave of demonic energy and retreated, his face not looking good, "Those people from Taicang Sect are probably in great danger."
Hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Because all members of Taicang Sect were dispatched just now, there are no surviving disciples even on the fifteenth floor. This means that the elite of Taicang Sect were wiped out overnight.
Although there were disputes and internal struggles among the major sects, as old neighbors in the ancient martial arts world, everyone present felt uncomfortable.
But the dead are gone, and they soon regained their composure.
"We've already witnessed the strength of this monster since we first met it. The demonic energy is very familiar, very similar to the one carried by the spirit that rushed out of the ancient tower earlier."
"If that's the case, this monster's intelligence is approaching that of a human, making it even more difficult to deal with."
Everyone felt sad when they thought about the loss of a group of elite soldiers from the sect on the stairs. When they thought about the fact that the other party was a powerful evil demon that was as cunning as humans, they lost some confidence.
Nan Xu saw that everyone wanted to back down, and said without any emotion in her eyes, "The interior of the ancient tower has begun to corrode, and the exterior has also been damaged. If we can't eliminate this monster today, there is no guarantee that the ancient martial arts world will have a future."
After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent again.
Thinking of the outstanding disciples of his own sect on the fifteenth floor, as well as the rising stars guarding the ancient tower, if these old bones retreated, they might be the next to be unlucky.
After a while.
"Fuck! I'm going to die here today!"
"Yes, we've lived for hundreds of years, and that's enough. Today, let's open our ancestors' eyes and tear down this tower with our own hands!"
…
The remaining seven major sects all decided to rise up in resistance, preferring to die in battle rather than retreat.
Before leaving, the disciples of Hongmei Sect let go of their reserve, took the hands of the male disciples of Beidou Sect who had chosen their favorites, and gave them their handkerchiefs as tokens of love.
"Whether or not I can get out alive, this is my token of my gratitude. As for the rest, we'll talk about it after we get out."
Faced with such a passionate and direct confession, the Beidou Sect's bunch of stupid donkeys were all blushing and at a loss, but some male disciples who were attracted to the girl also said that they would stand by her side and protect the girl they liked and go out together.
While the scene was tragic and touching, Xuanzong was surprisingly calm.
They were sitting at the front, less than a meter away from the evil demon's abyss trap. Looking at the dim and blocked staircase, everyone thought of someone at the same time.
"Do you think the clan leader used to sit here and rest like this when he was tired?" The youngest Qing Teng suddenly spoke, but his voice was no longer clear, but terribly hoarse, and nasal.
"Yes, I suppose. We're all exhausted from fighting her all this time, not to mention she was alone, having fought her way through more than a dozen floors single-handedly." Lian Cheng leaned against the wall, his eyes drifting off into the past as he muttered, "Although we watched her grow up, she always seemed to be alone."
He eats alone, sleeps alone, goes to the fairy mountain to practice alone, then travels around the world alone for several years, and when he comes back, he rushes to the battlefield.
Although they were guardians, most of the time they just watched her slightly thin back as she walked in front of them.
As the only female in the elders' council, Nan Xu was closest to Ye Lan and they were almost like mother and daughter. Now when she thought about it carefully, her eyes became red unconsciously. The moment she closed her blurred vision, she asked the question in her heart.
"Has she ever had a happy time in her life?"
“…”
No one answered her, because no one knew, and there was no way to find out.
Only the girl sitting there, with an exceptionally young and cool face, silently gave the answer in her heart.
