Chapter 1382 - 209: Bahuang Tower Ninth Floor

Chapter 1382: Chapter 209: Bahuang Tower Ninth Floor

The movement of the Bahuang Tower grew increasingly intense, completely engulfed in the dark-colored light beam.

The tower body slowly tilted, as if someone had overturned it with one hand. This scene appeared incredibly eerie.

"Calm down, no one can save her except for the High Priest," Hei Yao scolded from the side.

He initially thought Ye Beiming really had taken the High Priest as a mentor, but the current situation seemed to contradict that notion.

"Don’t worry. If I guessed correctly, that woman triggered some prohibition within the Bahuang Tower. She might be able to find the Dark Destiny Mirror." The High Priest’s words made Ye Beiming release his grip.

"If she dies, I’ll have the entire Bahuang Continent accompany her to the grave," Ye Beiming turned away, staring at the Bahuang Tower.

Ye Beiming spoke with calmness.

But the icy and murderous intent within that calmness made the High Priest’s heart grow cold.

If that woman were really to perish, perhaps... There was a trace of inexplicable excitement in the High Priest’s eyes, rather than fear.

By now, the tower body had fully tipped over, and the angle of inclination was still increasing.

Until the entire tower body was completely overturned.

The original first level of the Bahuang Tower had instantly turned into the last level.

"There’s something on the tower body!"

The overturned topmost layer of the Bahuang Tower had sprouted an entirely new level—a ninth floor?

The Bahuang Tower actually had nine levels?

Inside the Bahuang Tower, Yun Sheng was also dumbfounded, staring at that scene.

She felt an upheaval beneath her, the tower body flipped over, causing her to feel dizzy.

Finally, when the tower body returned to its original state without any abnormalities, she noticed that the once empty first floor now had a stone staircase.

The stone staircase spiraled forward, seemingly leading upwards.

The second floor?

It should be called... a basement instead.

Yun Sheng clearly felt that the entire tower body had been flipped over, and where she was heading should be the original underground of the Bahuang Tower, that is, the basement.

Of course, if the ancients also had the concept of a basement.

Yun Sheng looked again at the Magic Array for leaving the Bahuang Tower; the array was no longer glowing. Clearly, there was no way to exit now.

Yun Sheng could only follow the staircase leading to an unknown destination.

"Gone!"

Outside the Bahuang Tower, when everyone suddenly saw the light spot inside the tower.

The light spot in the Bahuang Tower disappeared, which meant either death or...

Upon seeing the light disappear, Ye Beiming’s body shuddered.

His eyes suddenly widened, a piercing pain stabbing through his heart.

"No—"

Like a beast that had lost its mate, Ye Beiming was enveloped in grief and agony.

He collapsed to the ground, clutching his head in despair, his eyes filled with blood.

Lu and Dugu Xiu were also dumbstruck as they looked at the Bahuang Tower, their hearts feeling as if a gap had opened, plunging them into a chilling void.

"It can’t be... it can’t," Lu gasped in disbelief.

"Lu, calm down," the Jiuluan Clan Patriarch watched Lu with worry, feeling a sense of regret as he looked at Lu’s vacant gaze.

"The results are already out," the High Priest said.

"No! The results aren’t out yet. Kirin, don’t be discouraged. The master is unharmed; she must have entered a closed barrier," Bo Bo noticed the situation wasn’t right and quickly wiped the disguise off her face.

She didn’t want the master to come back safely to find Kirin completely devastated.

Seeing Bo Bo, Ye Beiming’s once dispersed gaze gradually became clear again.

"Bo Bo, is it you?" Ye Beiming, upon seeing Bo Bo, suddenly remembered that Yun Sheng and Bo Bo had a life bond contract. If Bo Bo was safe, it meant Yun Sheng must be safe too.

The sorrow in his eyes instantly vanished.

"It’s actually you? Little girl, don’t speak nonsense. The Bahuang Tower has turned into this; that bastard is surely dead," Yu Shang, delighted at Yun Sheng’s supposed death, looked at Bo Bo with vengeful glee.

"It’s me, you old hag. Believe it or not, I’ll slap you a hundred times," Bo Bo retorted indignantly.

"Are you serious about that?" Dugu Xiu, who had always disliked Bo Bo, suddenly found Bo Bo less repulsive this time.

"Of course, it’s true. I am, after all... Anyway, I just know the master is trapped in a very special place, but she will come out. As for when exactly, I can’t be sure," Only a few knew Bo Bo’s true identity.

Bo Bo couldn’t sense Yun Sheng’s presence, but she was certain the master was alive.

Although she couldn’t clearly explain where Yun Sheng had gone, she was sure about one thing: the master wasn’t in mortal danger.

"High Priest, since the woman from the Sky Fox Tribe’s fate is uncertain and the thirty-day period has passed, the core matches of the Eight Desolate Clan Competition are over. There’s no need to waste time on an insignificant person," the Hei Yao Clan Leader stated.

He hadn’t expected that even with an ancient forbidden curse, Ye Beiming and Dugu Xiu would still throw themselves into harm’s way for that woman from the Sky Fox Tribe.

The High Priest glanced at Ye Beiming.

Ye Beiming was the first to exit with a Dark Eight Desolate Divine Artifact, making him the undisputed first place, but currently, his entire being was focused on that Bahuang Tower.

Despite there being no signs of life left on the Bahuang Tower,

The High Priest looked at Dugu Xiu, the second to obtain a Dark Eight Desolate Divine Artifact, yet he showed no interest in the competition results either.

Then looked at Lu, his expression mirrored the other two men, completely ignoring the High Priest as if he were air.

The remaining contenders... The High Priest glanced at the fourth-comers: Yu Shang and the Heavenly Fox Clan Leader Hu Qianqiu.

"Congratulations, the Sky Fox Tribe has replaced the Di Clan to become an Upper Beast Clan," the High Priest’s announcement made Yu Shang and Hu Qianqiu beam with joy.

As long as they obtained the status of an Upper Beast Clan, Yun Sheng’s life or death was of no consequence to them.

The other Beast Clans also had their own gains.

The rankings of the other Eight Desolate Beast Clans were determined, with the Di Clan, Hua Clan, and Bimong Tribe being Middle-level Beast Clans.

Meanwhile, the Pengyu Clan and Qingming Wolf Clan had become Lower Beast Clans.

The curtain fell on the Eight Desolate Clan Competition. By the time dawn arrived, the residents of the city witnessed the miraculous spectacle of the Bahuang Tower. Stranger still, a handful of individuals stood like statues outside the Bahuang Tower, refusing to leave no matter what.
