Chapter 304: Best At Dealing With The Unconvinced

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Jiang Lan stood beside the middle-aged man.

The other party was from the Heavenly Human Race.

If it was in the past, he might have found a way to send this person to accompany Feng Ji and the rest.

But the plan had changed.

Killing one or two from the Heavenly Human Race would not allow the Heavenly Human Race to accept him, but as long as he could fully control the Deity Position…

His fortuitous opportunities might be even more complete.

The speed of becoming stronger would be faster.

The road ahead would be easier.

This way, he could solve the problem of the Heavenly Human Race being unable to tolerate his existence.

However, since the previous person only wanted to ask for directions, he wanted to ask if the other party had any doubts before he ended his life.

After answering, he could send him on his way.

Although it was only leaving the Black Peak Pagoda, it was not much different from killing them.

"Do… Do we have a grudge?" The middle-aged man asked Jiang Lan.

Pu!

Jiang Lan pulled out his spear and slashed across his opponent's body.

Light quickly appeared.

"I just wanted to give you a ride. I don't mean anything else."

Jiang Lan answered softly.

After the middle-aged man disappeared, Jiang Lan turned to look at the other six heavenly humans. His voice was emotionless.

"Do you people want to ask any questions?"

As his voice fell, Jiang Lan moved. His spear pierced through the air.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

In just a few breaths' time, Jiang Lan passed by the six of them, his spear connecting all their bodies together.

Hexakill.

Jiang Lan looked at the person in front and said softly.

"That person is waiting outside. He might be in a hurry to meet you guys."

The heavenly human at the very front looked at Jiang Lan with fear in his eyes.

It was as if he was looking at a demon.

It was as if the other party was an evil spirit sent from the depths of hell.

Whoosh!

He swung his spear.

The six of them turned into light and left.

After dealing with the Heavenly Human Race, Jiang Lan turned to look at his Senior Brothers.

When he turned around, he shocked Ji Qiu and Ji Jiang.

This person had come out of nowhere and killed seven people in a row.

The seven of them did not even have any ability to resist.

After all, these people were Human Immortals. It was impossible for them to not be able to resist.

However, when the other party looked over, they felt it.

He was emitting a powerful pressure.

This person was not a Human Immortal.

For a moment, they wanted to escape, but before they could move, they saw Bei Fang moving forward.

"He's going to die. Is Senior Brother Bei Fang crazy?"

Ji Jiang had this thought in his mind and felt that he should think of a way to escape.

Very soon, he was stunned because Bei Fang had started talking to the other party and it sounded like he knew him.

"We meet again," Bei Fang said gratefully.

"I have yet to thank you for saving my life in the Ice Cicada Forest, but you have saved me once again."

There was still that time when he slayed the demonic dragon for Bei Fang in the Kunlun Temple… Jiang Lan answered in his heart before whispering.

"I want the fifth level to myself. Are you guys going to the sixth level or the fourth?"

Jiang Lan wanted to eliminate everyone on the fifth floor.

But he would not kill those from Kunlun.

"To the sixth floor," Bei Fang said immediately.

Although he didn't understand why, the other party usually did things quite seriously.

His cultivation level was much higher than theirs, so they were definitely unable to participate in his plan.

"Are there others from Kunlun here?" Jiang Lan looked at Bei Fang.

"There are many more," Bei Fang answered immediately.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Lan held his spear and walked in another direction.

"Follow me."

They then followed Jiang Lan.

At this moment, Ji Qiu and Ji Jiang saw what it meant to crush everything.

They were horrified to discover that this person wanted to eliminate everyone on the fifth level.

No matter who it was, as long as they did not leave the fifth level voluntarily, they would be cleared out.

And all of them were killed in a single move.

Along the way, they met another person who was sweeping through the floor as well.

The other party was a True Immortal.

They initially thought that there would be a great battle, and yet…

It only took one move to send the other party out as well.

They were suddenly glad that their Senior Brother Bei Fang knew the other party.

In the process of clearing the area, Jiang Lan discovered that there were faint lights flashing on him continuously.

The Senior Brothers behind him also had them.

If he cleared them now, would there be more light?

He could try it if he had the chance.

…

Outside.

All of them stared at the fifth level in astonishment.

Ao Longyu watched as people were continuously sent out from the fifth level.

And the injuries were shockingly similar.

One kill.

She didn't seem to know anyone on the fifth floor.

Her Junior Brother should be on the fourth or third floor.

Her reclusive Junior Brother would only stay with her or act alone.

Just like a lonely old man.

…

"That hurts."

The Eighth Prince looked at the person in front of him who fell to the ground and cried out loudly. It was a female cultivator. There was a bit of light on her body.

A hole had been pierced through her body.

Fortunately, with the help of an immortal technique, she recovered very quickly.

"I just wanted to ask for directions but he actually killed me directly. Why didn't he just kill everyone on the fifth level?"

Yan Xiyun looked at the Black Peak Tower angrily.

After her injuries recovered, she planned to leave.

Bang!

Suddenly, someone fell in front of her.

She looked up and saw that the person had also fallen from the fifth floor.

Then, she lowered her head to look at his wound.

It was somewhat similar to hers.

Before she could react, more people started falling.

Bang!

Bang!

Six figures fell in front of her.

Everyone's injuries were the same.

Yan Xiyun looked up in surprise.

Then…

People kept appearing and falling.

Everyone was killed with a single shot and they all had almost the same injuries as hers.

Bodies started to fall like rain.

"No. No way?"

"That person… is he really going to wipe out the entire fifth level?"

Yan Xiyun was stunned. So she wasn't the only unlucky one, but just the first to get wiped out from the entire floor?

Ao Man looked at this person, then at the fifth floor.

He wasn't familiar with anyone on the fifth floor, but he did know someone.

He knew many people in Kunlun.

However, who would stay on the fifth level to clean up people for no reason?

Wasn't it easier to clear people on the first or second floor?

"It's a person from Kunlun. I saw the party. The leading person said that he would attack if I didn't leave the fifth level.

If I am not convinced, they'll kill me in one move."

Someone immediately shouted, extremely furious.

It was someone from the Demon Race.

"???" Yan Xiyun was a little surprised. Why did the other person get a notice?

Why didn't she receive it?

Was she treated differently?

Yan Xiyun saw the Eighth Prince watching the show and walked over.

"Brother…"

Boom!

The Eighth Prince's polearm sent Yan Xiyun flying.

As long as this person spoke, he wanted to make a move.

He didn't know why.

Being addressed as such made him feel very uncomfortable.

"I just wanted to ask where this is—"

Yan Xiyun felt that her luck had dropped after coming to Kunlun.

…

"The person is from Kunlun?"

Jiu Zhongtian was slightly surprised. There was no such person on his Eighth Summit.

Few people used spears. If there were, he would know.

Furthermore, this person was at the Human Immortal Realm.

Theoretically, he shouldn't be from Kunlun, but so far, those sent out were from all the other factions except for Kunlun.

"It doesn't matter if the person is from Kunlun or not. If the others think so, then so be it," said Mo Zhengdong as he looked at the people in other directions.

Jiu Zhongtian drank his wine and looked at the restless powers. He smiled and said.

"I'm waiting for them too. I don't know who will act first."

At this moment, a middle-aged man with cracked skin walked out. He was from the Qilin Race.

He looked at the summit leaders of Kunlun and shouted.

"Kunlun is trying to cause trouble at the Witchcloud Gathering, right?"

"So what if we are? Are you unhappy?"

Jiu Zhongtian's gaze was like a sword, and his voice was like a blade.

It was as if his existence was meant to convince the unconvinced.

Chapter 305: Eight Desolates Purgatory

"Kunlun really thinks nothing of us."

The middle-aged man with cracks on his body looked at Jiu Zhongtian and began to gather his strength.

"In that case, I would like to experience the might of a Kunlun summit leader."

Jiu Zhongtian poured the wine into his mouth before tossing out the gourd.

Boom!

The gourd smashed directly at the middle-aged man.

A powerful force appeared in the sky. The middle-aged man was forced back a distance, but he was not injured at all. His expression was calm.

Jiu Zhongtian did not pay any attention to it as he flew into the sky.

Strength burst forth like light, illuminating the surroundings.

The middle-aged man from the Qilin Race followed.

Two rays of sun-like light appeared in the sky.

The others took a glance and did not say anything.

It seemed like it was normal for people to fight. Or rather, it was more accurate to say that they were eager for people to fight.

As long as it did not affect the Black Peak Tower.

…

Fifth floor.

Jiang Lan stood in the passageway.

Some people angrily headed to the fourth floor, while others headed to the sixth floor.

They were banished. There was nothing they could do.

The opponent was too strong.

Regardless of whether they were True Immortals or Human Immortals, they were all no match for the other party.

They really did not know which floor the other party had come from.

"Then I'll thank you again, fellow daoist." Bei Fang led his party towards the sixth level.

Every faction had some sent out.

Only Kunlun was completely safe.

Jiang Lan watched as the figures of Bei Fang and his party disappeared into the tunnel. Then, he used a spell technique to seal the entrance to the sixth floor and the entrance to the fourth floor.

After doing this, he walked towards the darkness.

It was time to finish the plan.

He hoped that no one would bother him during this time.

There were no vicious beasts above the fifth level.

And Jiang Lan did not plan on affecting those below the fifth level.

Because…

There was no meaning for him to kill the beasts who were below the Human Immortal Realm.

He would just leave them for those at the lower levels to train with.

Woosh!

The endless vicious beast doors were opened by him. All the vicious beast doors from the fifth to the ninth level were connected to the fifth level.

Fortunately, it was not too difficult.

Roar!

Roars of rage began to spread throughout the fifth level as countless ferocious beasts charged in.

Power began to proliferate, as if a beast tide were about to begin. It was as if the beast tide would tear through everything in its path.

Jiang Lan walked on the edge and landed in the purgatory.

He was standing near the center.

At the same time, he could sense countless beasts entering the fifth level.

Early-stage, mid-stage, late-stage, perfected Human Immortal Realm.

Early-stage, mid-stage, late-stage, perfected True Immortal Realm.

Early-stage, mid-stage Heaven Immortal Realm.

There were no beasts who were at the late-stage or perfected Heaven Immortal Realm.

Even if there was, he would not let them in.

Vicious beasts surged in waves, the zombies laughed sinisterly, and evil spirits floated in the sky.

At this moment, Jiang Lan raised his head and looked at his surroundings. After waiting for a long time, he slowly closed his eyes.

A moment later, he suddenly opened his eyes.

At this moment, there seemed to be flames in his eyes.

An ethereal voice echoed throughout the fifth level.

"Eight Desolates Purgatory."

…

…

Night.

Sounds of galloping could be heard from below the fifth floor of the Black Peak Tower, followed by cries of alarm.

After that, waves of flickering lights could be seen.

Jing Ting and the others looked at the vicious beasts, zombies, and evil spirits that were surging in with disbelief.

There really are vicious beasts, and they are all extremely powerful. If we were to face them head-on, we wouldn't have any chance of winning. Thankfully, we have made some preparations."

"It's even more exaggerated than what our Junior Brother from the Ninth Summit had said. Thank goodness we believed him."

Lin Siya was also shocked.

"I didn't really believe it when Junior Brother said that he had seen vicious beasts enter. Fortunately, Junior Brother wasn't someone who liked to joke around, which made me believe him."

Her Junior Brother was rather strict and reserved.

He was usually very serious when dealing with potential problems.

As for jokes…

She had never seen him say one before.

Because of this, Jing Ting, Mu Xiu, and the others had believed his words and made some preparations.

Just in case.

Now, they realized that they were not prepared enough.

"That's too much." Jing Ting stared into the distance.

"That's not the only threat. I remember many years ago, in the Third Summit's mystic realm, we met someone who could control the beasts. There are people from all the major powers gathered here. There must be such a person," said Lin Siya.

As she thought about this, Lin Siya suddenly realized that her Senior Sister and Junior Brother had met at that time.

Furthermore, she heard from her Senior Sister that her Junior Brother was the one who had saved her at that time.

The method to expel the fog was taught by her Junior Brother as well.

It seemed like it was fate.

"The other Senior Brothers and Sisters should be coming towards us as well. Anyway, it will depend on the situation. It's also a good opportunity for us to gain experience," said Mu Xiu.

Was this what a Witchcloud Gathering was like?

No wonder only outstanding disciples could participate.

Just…

It was a little dangerous.

"I wonder how Junior Brother Jiang plans to get through this." Jing Ting was actually very curious.

However, he knew a bit about Jiang Lan's reclusiveness.

It was not easy to ask him to act together.

…

There were always people falling from the sky.

Especially from the first to the fourth level.

"Big Brother is on the third level?"

The teenager moved a chair over and asked the Eighth Prince.

"Yes, there are people coming out continuously from the first to fourth levels. Most of the injuries are caused by bites, claw attacks, and collisions, so…" The Eighth Prince looked at the youth and said.

"Those beasts have started to take action. Those above the fifth level should be strong enough. There shouldn't be any problems for them for now. "

The young man nodded as he ate his peanuts.

It was better for him to eat peanuts.

He had not been watching, so he did not know the details.

The Eighth Prince snatched half of the chair and peanuts and said.

"Where's the girl from the Heavenly Feather Phoenix Race?"

"Hongya said she's sleeping and that I shouldn't disturb her." The youth sighed as he ate peanuts.

Hong Ya had never slept so early before.

"I already said that she's just giving you a hard time. If you like her, take my halberd and knock her out. Then, drag her to the Ice Cicada Forest and bury her for two days. Only by doing so will the arrogant girl from the Heavenly Feather Phoenix Race know her place." The Eighth Prince said firmly.

As he spoke, he even handed over to the youth his halberd.

The youth who received the halberd waved it twice. It felt quite light to him.

"Little brother." A sudden voice sounded beside the youth.

Bang!

The youth directly waved his halberd at the person beside him, sending her flying.

"Good! That's how you should do it." The Eighth Prince clapped his hands and cheered.

The youth looked to the side in surprise.

"Who was that just now?"

"The person fell from above. I don't know who it is." The Eighth Prince shrugged.

In the distance.

"Can't you let me finish my sentence?" Yan Xiyun felt like these people didn't give her a chance to speak.

…

It was morning.

Most of those at the first four levels had been injured by the vicious beasts and was sent out, but those that remained had definitely gained a lot.

At this moment, the situation in the first four levels had stabilized.

The spectators didn't really care about this. What they cared about was the situation in the fifth level and above.

Because they realized that not many people had been cleared out.

It would just be a few being sent flying out of the tower every now and then.

Moreover, many people were discussing the Dao at the center of the fifth level and above.

There were even many sparring sessions.

What did this mean?

Were there no vicious beasts present?

This was not normal.

The people from the Demon Race and Heavenly Human Race were all looking at the several levels of the Black Peak Tower, not seeing anything that would aid them in understanding what was going on.

Outside the tower, there was no way of knowing what was happening inside. If one wanted to investigate, everyone needed to work together.

But there would be no benefit to any party by doing so.

"It's a little strange." Second Summit's Liu Jing frowned.

On his side sat the Heavenly Human Race's experts and Dragon Race's Ao Li.

There were many experts surrounding the Black Peak Tower.

There were two to three factions standing guard at each side of the Black Peak Tower.

No one knew what had happened at the upper levels.

But something was definitely wrong.

Chapter 306: Betting On When Jiang Lan Will Come Out

Ao Li looked at the Black Peak Tower, unable to figure out what was going on inside.

It had already reached this stage. There was no reason for the higher levels to not be affected by the beasts.

Even if there had been some accidents on one or two levels among the upper levels, it couldn't be that all five upper levels had experienced accidents right?

"I should go and ask the people who came out from the fifth level and above."

Ao Li sighed.

"It's a pity that the upper echelons of the Dragon Race haven't come out yet."

"Neither has Kunlun," said Liu Jing.

"My Heavenly Human Race is not out that fast either." The bearded middle-aged man also spoke.

The three of them stopped talking. If anyone was curious, they would ask people from other races.

…

"It might be related to the strange movements on the fifth floor."

Miao Yue looked at Black Peak Tower and said softly.

Zhu Qing also nodded.

An accident had happened to the higher levels. Under normal circumstances, this should not have happened.

There had to be a reason for this sudden change, and the only abnormality among all the levels was on the fifth level.

Someone was clearing the fifth floor, but no one knew what was going on.

"There's no movement at the center of the fifth level, and we can't see anything outside the center," Ao Shishi added.

There was indeed a problem with the fifth level, but it was unknown if it was the main cause.

So far, there was no sign of any vicious beast in the center of the fifth level.

Ao Longyu looked at the fifth level, and indeed, she could not see anything.

Then, she looked at the fourth and third levels.

The fellow disciples whom she was more familiar with were on these two floors.

However, she felt that her Junior Brother would come out a bit later.

Her Junior Brother had been in seclusion for decades. He should be able to hide from the beasts for a long time.

He had even chosen to jump into the Mental Demon Purgatory on the fourth level previously.

If those vicious beasts chased Jiang Lan down into the Mental Demon Purgatory, they would become dead souls under her Junior Brother's sword.

"Xiao Yu, do you think Jiang Lan can survive today?" Miao Yue suddenly asked Ao Long Yu who was standing behind her.

"Junior Brother has his own thoughts," said Ao Longyu.

She did not directly say if he could.

If she did so, she felt like she was putting a shackle on her Junior Brother.

When her Junior Brother came out, she would welcome him. It was not a big deal when he came out.

"Why don't we make a bet?" Ran Jing looked at Miao Yue and said.

"Let's bet on when the Goddess' fiance will come out. How about it?"

Facing this bet, Miao Yue smiled.

"Then I bet that Jiang Lan will only come out at the last moment."

"What about the Goddess?" Ao Shishi asked Ao Longyu.

She felt that Kunlun just wanted to save some face.

The final moment?

It was extremely difficult to last till the last moment on the third floor. It could be said to be almost impossible.

Ao Longyu remained silent.

"Oh?" Miao Yue looked at Ao Shishi and said.

"Do dragons like to bully children? How can a child participate in such a bet? "

"Then we shall bet that he won't be able to stay until the last moment," said Ran Jing.

"I heard that the disciple of the Ninth Summit doesn't have a good reputation. His talent is average and his cultivation level is average too. "Ao Shishi looked at Miao Yue and said.

"If that's the case, why do you think that he can last till the end?"

Miao Yue smiled without saying anything.

1

Zhu Qing did not say a word. She did not know where her Senior Sister's confidence came from.

However, her Senior Sister had never fought battles that she wasn't confident in, so Jiang Lan definitely had a certain chance of staying until the end.

She looked at Xiao Yu again but did not see her worry.

As for the chips for the bet, no one cared about it. What was the use of it?

It was more interesting to see the other party lose face.

"If something has happened to the vicious beasts across the various levels, will this gathering end in a short period of time?" Zhu Qing asked Fairy Miao Yue.

"Yes." Miao Yue looked at the two highest floors and continued.

"Those at the top two levels have the strength to break through the barriers between the various levels. It won't be long before they understand the true essence of the Dao discussion.

The fastest way to discuss the Dao is to verify their respective Daos. At that time, they will break through the barriers of all the levels and reach the fifth level. We will then know the general reason for this weird situation and we will be able to see what's actually happening."

…

On the ninth floor.

There were already people arguing.

"The people of the Heavenly Human Race are the representatives of the great dao? You people use this as the foundation of your Dao? What a joke. If that's so, how can you forge and walk on your own Dao path?

Cultivators live long lives and watch the cycle of life and death. We fight against death by understanding how to differentiate ourselves from mortals. Understanding the principles of the world step by step is the Dao of cultivation."

"Is that so?" The young man from the Heavenly Human Race looked at the Magus Immortal of Mount Numinous and said darkly.

"Then let's see whose Dao is more correct. Talking is the most boring. Let me suppress all of you and you people will know that I am right."

"Then come." The middle-aged man stood up.

Everyone stood up.

Those from the Dragon Race, the Heavenly Feather Phoenix Race, the Underground's Devils, the Bu Family of the Central Plains, the Giant Spirit Race of the Eastern Wasteland, and so on, all stood up. None of them were willing to submit to anyone else.I've been waiting a long time."

"Let's see how it goes."

"What do the people of Kunlun think? Do you people dare to have a fight with us?"

As they spoke, they looked at a young man sitting in the corner. He looked to be in his late twenties.

He stood up slowly with a smile on his face as if he had waited for a long time.

"Like I said, there are three thousand great Dao paths, and an uncountable number of small Dao paths. How can someone admit that his own path is wrong?

After all these years, one would have admitted his mistake long ago if one really believed so. Why wait till now?"

He was Leng Wu, disciple of the Seventh Summit. He was a mid-stage Heaven Immortal.

In theory, no one knew who had the highest level of cultivation in this Witchcloud Gathering.

Boom!

As Leng Wu's voice fell, more than twenty Heaven Immortals retreated.

The power of a Heaven Immortal began to proliferate.

Across the various factions, there were quite a few Heaven Immortals, but there really weren't many young Heaven Immortals.

There was no need for those who were at a realm above the Heaven Immortal Realm to appear. The Witchcloud Gathering was only a gathering of young talents.

Leng Wu didn't take out any Dharma treasures. He wanted to use Dao techniques to defeat these people.

The instant his power spread out, Leng Wu faced off against the powerful beings of the Underground's Devils.

"Immortal Technique, Mountain Suppression."

With a series of hand seals, a gigantic mountain appeared and suppressed the Underground's Devils.

Boom!

The Underground's Devils wielded their long sabers, and a dark aura appeared on their sabers as they slashed down upon the mountain peak.

Clang!

In a clash of power, the mountain peak shattered.

"Let's see if your spell technique is faster or if my saber is closer to you."

Leng Wu laughed.

"Come on!"

Boom!

A great battle erupted.

…

When the battle erupted on the ninth level, the ripple of the clashes directly extended to the eighth level.

At this moment, countless energy storms appeared on the eighth level.

Lu Jian was injured and was fighting one against three.

Sword light swept in all directions. Even though he was suppressed, he was still far from defeat.

Boom!

A loud noise came from above.

The four people who were fighting immediately retreated in shock.

After stabilizing himself, Lu Jian looked up at the sky and smiled at the other three True Immortals.

"It looks like those at the higher levels are also fighting. Why are all of you attacking me? Aren't you afraid that my Senior Brother will come down and kill you all?"

"I heard that the battle between Heaven Immortals can break the barrier between levels, but…" An elephant demon looked at the road and said in a low voice.

"You'll have to last till then, too."

"Is that so?" Lu Jian held his sword and madness appeared in his eyes.

"Then I'll send the three of you out first to verify my path."

At that moment, he moved and arrived in front of one of the demonesses.

The demoness didn't care. Ice spikes appeared around her, and she waved her ice sword.

Pu!

The ice sword slashed across Lu Jian, injuring him.

The demoness expected Lu Jian to retreat and dodge, but to her surprise, he didn't. He didn't even defend himself.

The attack had landed on the opponent cleanly.

At this moment, she saw a smile appear on the corner of Lu Jian's mouth.

"You have hit me once, but now it's my turn."

…
