After they agreed, Ling Xi ordered Ling Yun’s closest people to rest, as well as the first group from the Holy Land of Sword. Meanwhile, Long Feng and the others led their clan members to clean up those beasts, but the six female beasts, along with the black tiger, came to help them. Wang Tianshi and the Xuanyuan Sisters also joined them, which turned the battle on the floor into a one-sided massacre.

The leaders of the nature races wanted to talk to Ling Xi, but she declined and asked them to focus on the beasts first; she only wanted to talk to them after they caught up with Ling Yun and the others.

“Big Sis!” Ji Ruxi exclaimed loudly as she jumped up to hug Ji Ping’er, kissing her cheeks again and again.

However, Ji Ping’er immediately pushed her little sister back, scolding Ji Ruxi. “Hey! Stop it! You are now an adult; therefore, you must cease your childish behavior, or I will use my soul technique on you.”

Ji Ruxi shuddered and pouted her lips. “Phew! You guys are really lucky to only face saint-realm beasts! On the other hand, we faced heavenly god-level beasts from the first floor, and those crazy guys forced us to fight non-stop, overwhelming us to keep up with them.”

Instead, Ji Ping’er responded to Ji Ruxi’s complaints by lecturing her. “That means you lack training, so you are struggling to keep up with them. I will train you harder after we return to our realm.”

“Big Sis!” Ji Ruxi shouted loudly as she repeatedly stomped her feet to the ground, causing Ji Ping’er and the others to laugh at her childish behavior.

“What about you, Yun Fei? Are you also feeling overwhelmed while trying to keep up with them?” Wan Jian abruptly questioned his master’s son.

“Haha.” Yun Fei laughed bitterly and nodded to Wan Jian. “Big Brother, they are beast cultivators, so their physique is much stronger than ours. Moreover, their cultivation and stamina are higher than ours, so we have to swallow Qi recovery pills repeatedly to keep up with their movements. However, we finally reached our limit, so we chose to wait for them to finish off those beasts.”

Wan Xiaotang then spoke to his big brother. “Even so, we won’t have any trouble dealing with these saint-level beasts, and we will join them after we rest.”

“That’s good.” Wan Jian nodded to both of them, then issued a warning, gesturing towards Lian Bing and the others. “You two shouldn’t approach those women, especially since their husband is overly possessive and will beat you guys like he beat Ning Fan.”

“Eh?” Both men were surprised to hear that, but Ning Hao then asked Wan Jian. “Is their husband that guy named Mo Chen, Brother Jian?”

Wan Jian was not surprised to hear Ning Hao’s question, and he suspected that Zhou Yu had already brought Ling Yun to meet them beforehand. “That’s right. You can observe your big brother; his conditions resulted from his intense desire to be close to Lian Bing. Despite Mo Chen’s severe beating of Ning Fan, he remained unfazed and continued to harbor hopes of winning her.”

They briefly glanced at Lian Bing. “It is no surprise that he is eager to acquire that woman, as she is truly stunning, resembling a goddess.” Unfortunately, she already belongs to Mo Chen, and he should forget about wanting to get her.”

“Isn’t your brother always like that?” Chui Song questioned Ning Hao. “Your grandpa spoils Ning Fan too much, and he always thought that other cultivators wouldn’t dare harm him.”

“Unfortunately, Ning Fan messed with the wrong man this time, and Mo Chen has already taught him quite a harsh lesson.” Hou Liang joined their conversation. “If your big brother continues to behave like this, I’m afraid that he will die in this tower, and your grandfather might rush over here.”

‘Hahaha! It would be wonderful if my big brother died in this tower, and my grandfather would turn his attention to me!’ Ning Hao muttered inwardly with excitement before replying to them. “Well, my big brother will never listen to our words, and you must have advised him, especially Senior Sister Tianshi, so we can’t do anything if he continues to act like that. If he dies in this tower, then it’s the consequence of his own actions.”

Ning Hao’s answer made Wan Jian and the others raise their eyebrows, but they chose not to comment on it, especially since they themselves were aware of the situation between him and his big brother.

Unlike them, Yin Yao’s attention was solely on Wang Tianshi and Xuanyuan Xue’er, while her hand firmly grasped her sword. ‘I have learned my sword technique from Senior Tianshi for so long, but I still can’t reach her level. Junior Sister Xue’er hasn’t been here for long and came from the lower realms, but her sword skill has already surpassed mine. Sigh! I have to work harder to keep up with her, or my master will think I’m lazy.’

The presence of the cultivators from the supreme realm and the leaders of the nature races made their work very easy, so they could quickly clear out the beasts on the 12th floor and head directly to the 13th floor. After they had a long rest, Ling Yun’s closest people also started to join them, as did people from the Holy Land of Sword and other cultivators.

In just two days, they managed to reach the second safe zone after the 20th floor, and Long Feng wanted to rush to the 21st floor. However, Long Yingtai and the others forbade him from doing so in order to give them a chance to rest. Moreover, Ling Xi had already informed them that Ling Yun and the others were still having trouble clearing the beasts on the 23rd floor, so they didn’t need to rush.

While they were all resting, dozens of other flying artifacts began to land around the mysterious tower, one of which was Zhu Ling’s flying artifact. Once they disembarked, Jing Shen promptly inquired of the spirit emperor. “Are you sure you still want to wait for Lei Zhong and the others? Look at these flying artifacts; they brought hundreds of cultivators from all over the upper realms, so I don’t think we need to wait for them, and we can move to chase Ling Yun and Luxuria.”

After he observed the cultivators, who began to descend from their flying artifacts, Zhu Ling nodded in agreement and immediately walked to the mysterious tower. “In that case, we don’t need to wait for Lei Zhong and the others; we will directly go inside to deal with those beasts, so we can reach Ling Yun’s location as soon as possible.”

Unfortunately, Zhu Ling was unaware that Huang Lingzhu had already taken special measures to hinder them, which meant they wouldn’t be able to reach his location as quickly as he had anticipated.

Jing Shen, who followed behind Zhu Ling, looked pleased with her decision; even his expression looked so eager to immediately capture Ling Yun and Ling Xi.

In another area, the group from the Sky and Star Cloud Realms had finally arrived at the mysterious realm, and they immediately descended their flying artifacts with great excitement, especially since they had been flying in the dark outer space for several months straight.

“Damn it! Who actually created this mysterious tower? This tower is indeed very useful, but the distance from our realm to this mysterious realm is simply too far, requiring us to spend months to get here.” Du Qingyang, who had just jumped down, immediately grumbled. However, he immediately looked towards another flying artifact before speaking to one of his entourages. “Hey, Qiao Yunxian! Your cousin just arrived, too.”

“Hmm?” Qiao Yunxian immediately landed beside Du Qingyang before turning his head towards that flying artifact, which was carrying people from the Eternal Spring Sect. “Their flying artifact is as fast as Senior Tian’s flying artifact that we are riding on, and they also left on the same day as us, so it is natural that they could reach here at the same time as us.”

Du Qingyang agreed, turning to Qiao Yunxian. “How about we make a bet?”

“Make a bet?” Qiao Yunxian raised his eyebrows.

“Yeah.” Du Qingyang pointed towards the tower. “There are countless beasts in there, and we’ll bet on killing them. On every ten floors, the person who kills the most beasts determines the winner.”

“Hey! I’ll bet with you, Du Qingyang!” Dongfang Lie shouted as he walked up to them. It would be more exciting if they all placed bets, don’t you think?

“Since you guys want to bet, I’ll join you, and I won’t lose to you guys.” Zhiyu Yuhan then turned to the others and posed a question. “What about you, guys? Do you also want to bet with us, Kong Qingyun?”

Kong Qingyun immediately rejected Zhiyu Yuhan. “According to our teachings, betting is something bad, so my brothers and I will not join in on your bet. If your number is insufficient, invite Zhong Cunhai and others to join your bet.”

After that, Kong Qingyun promptly led his four brothers from the Buddha Sect into the mysterious tower, causing Du Qingyang and the others to shake their heads. “Zhong Cunhai! Ouyang Feng! Do you two want to bet with us?”
