“Your Majesty, don’t worry. As long as Xu Taiping successfully enters the city, the magic treasures placed on them by the Bajing Taoist Palace will send back the scene inside to the spirit mirror.”
Zhu Huai comforted the King of Chu.
“Your Majesty, Old Zhu, the scene of Xu Taiping and the others can be seen in the spirit mirror.”
As soon as Zhu Huai’s words fell, he only heard the Qionghua Sword Immortal beside him point to the spirit mirror in front of him and say.
Hearing this, the two of them looked at the spirit mirror again.
I saw that in the spirit mirror, Xu Taiping and a group of Azure Dragon Armors, leading the army of 200,000 souls in the west, successively broke through several city gates of the capital city, and finally entered the inner city in one go. They were only more than ten miles away from the Terrace of Ascension at the back of the inner city.
“Without an army formation with the same combat power to compete with them, now Xu Taiping, who holds the token of the Western Army, has no one who can stop him.”
Seeing this scene, the Qionghua Sword Immortal immediately sighed.
The old Martial God Zhu Huai remained silent, and the King of Chu beside him sighed with a complicated mood, feeling that his previous expectations might be in vain again.
“Boom！ ……”
But at this moment, a deafening sound suddenly came from the spirit mirror.
The three carefully looked and saw that in the direction of the Ascension Terrace in the inner city, a pitch-black Soul Summoning Banner suddenly flew out.
Although this Soul Summoning Banner failed to suck the souls of the Western Hundred Thousand War Armor into the banner, it still made them all return to the Western Iron Token one by one.
In just a short moment, the originally mighty Western Great Army formation only had Xu Taiping, Gu Qingcheng, and their group of foreign cultivators left.
“Sure enough, the ghosts near the Ascension Terrace are much stronger than those outside the city. They can even restrain the souls of the Western Great Iron Armor Army.”
The Sword Immortal of Qionghua furrowed her brows.
The King of Chu beside her, on the contrary, the originally wrinkled brows suddenly relaxed and even a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Xu Taiping’s setback in going to the Ascension Terrace meant that the Third Prince still had a chance to become the first person to climb to the twelfth floor of the Mysterious Desolation Tower and obtain the richest reward of the Mysterious Desolation Tower.
“Zheng！ ……”
And with a sudden sword cry mixed with the roar of the dragon suddenly rang out, the smile on the King of Chu’s face suddenly froze and he looked at the spiritual mirror in front of him with eyes full of disbelief.
I saw that in the spiritual mirror, a young cultivator with a prosthetic limb in one hand was carrying a huge sword, sweeping away more than a dozen corpse ghosts at the Flying Corpse Realm in front of him with one sword, and then flew through the air with two female cultivators towards a long-haired ghost cultivator wearing a black robe.
“Boom！”
With a loud noise, the ghost cultivator wearing a black robe and holding a soul-calling banner was sent flying by a single sword strike from the young cultivator holding a huge sword.
At the same time, this cultivator turned his head and shouted in the direction of Xu Taiping：
“Junior Brother, climb the tower！”
This person and the two female cultivators beside him were exactly Xu Taiping’s second senior brother, Du Gu Qingxiao, as well as his eldest senior sister, Jiang Zhi, and seventh senior sister, Zhao Linglong.
“This person is called Du Gu Qingxiao, right？ With a single sword strike, he sent flying a Wangtian Realm ghost cultivator whose cultivation has only been restricted in part. To have such cultivation at such a young age, looking at the several worlds outside of Zhenwu Heaven, he can be considered to have top-notch talent.”
After seeing the scene where Du Gu Qingxiao sent flying that ghost cultivator with a single sword strike, the Qionghua Sword Immortal, who was also a sword cultivator, said in amazement.
“Indeed.”
Zhu Huai nodded in agreement.
“This Du Gu Qingxiao’s strength is quite good, but there are at least nine checkpoints for Xu Taiping to reach that Dengtian Terrace. There will also be many ghost cultivators and evil gods encountered along the way. Unless there are another ten or twenty cultivators with the same cultivation strength as Du Gu Qingxiao to protect him, otherwise, I don’t think it will be easy to reach the Dengtian Terrace.”
The King of Chu folded his arms across his chest and said disapprovingly.
“Boom！”
And just as the three were talking, after Xu Taiping defeated that black-robed ghost cultivator, he led the remaining dozens of Azure Dragon Armored soldiers and together broke through the first barrier in front of them.
However, when entering the second barrier, another ghost cultivator with combat power close to the Sky-Gazing Realm blocked their way.
“The cultivation of this ghost cultivator is even stronger than that of the ghost cultivator at the first barrier. This time, Xu Taiping and the others are probably going to send out multiple experts to deal with it.”
Sword Immortal Qionghua said with a solemn expression.
“If this continues, I’m afraid that before even reaching the Ascension Terrace, Xu Taiping will have to deal with a group of ghost cultivators, evil gods, and demons alone.”
King Chu said indifferently.
“In the capital city of the Ghost Fang, not being able to use the power of the military formation is equivalent to cutting off a pair of Xu Taiping’s hands and feet.”
The old Martial God Zhu Huai shook his head helplessly at this time.
The current situation is that it is extremely difficult for Xu Taiping to successfully reach the Ascension Terrace.
“Boom！ ……”
And just as the three were talking, in the spirit mirror, among the group of people including Xu Taiping, a young female general holding a long spear suddenly rose up from the ground.
At the same time, six or seven armored soldiers in battle armor closely followed behind that young female general.
“Shua！”
Amid the harsh sound of breaking through the air, the young female general stabbed at the ghost cultivator blocking the way with her lance pointed straight at the ground. With her overbearing lance momentum, she forced back the ghost cultivator whose strength was equivalent to that of the Wangtian Realm with one strike.
Subsequently, like Du Gu Qingxiao before, she turned around and looked in the direction where Xu Taiping was, and shouted firmly in a tone：
“Brother Taiping, ascend the tower！”
This female general was naturally Zhang Moyan, the niece of Wu Shen Zhang Tianze and from the Zhenhai Tower.
“As expected of little niece Moyan. During this trip to the Xuanhuang Pagoda, her lance skills have improved greatly. This is worthy of celebration.”
Zhu Huai, who knew Zhang Moyan, nodded with great satisfaction.
“Other than Du Gu Qingxiao and Zhang Moyan, there probably aren’t any more who can take on a responsibility alone in Xu Taiping’s group, right？”
Seeing that Xu Taiping had broken into the second level, the brows of the King of Chu immediately furrowed, and a hint of unease emerged in his eyes.
“There should not be anymore.”
The Qionghua Sword Immortal nodded.
Because they did not see the emotions of the battle with the evil people guarding the building when they were in the Bamian Tower before, they did not know much about these cultivators who followed Xu Taiping.
“Boom！”
At this time, with the sound of another violent shock, Xu Taiping, who had already broken through the third level, was blocked by another ghost cultivator.
Just as the three of them were very curious about which people Xu Taiping should send to fight against this powerful ghost cultivator, they heard a loud “bang”, and the ghost cultivator blocking the way was actually sent flying by a fist from a young monk in white.
Although this fist did not completely knock down the ghost cultivator, the power of that fist just now still amazed Zhu Huai and the other two.
Immediately afterwards, in the curious eyes of the three people, they only heard the young monk in white put his hands together and turn around, shouting towards Xu Taiping’s direction with a smile on his face：
”Amitabha, Brother Taiping, please ascend the tower.”
This person, naturally, was the young monk of Yunyin Temple, Xuanzhi.
