Chapter 574: Chapter 574: The Fourth Layer Opens_1

"Hmph, Guanghan Celestial Venerate, what is the meaning of this? Are you suggesting that my obedient disciple is lying?"

The Supreme Head Teacher snorted coldly.

"It’s not suspicion, it’s certainty!"

Guanghan Celestial Venerate responded with a cold laugh, "Her words are merely one-sided, and many parts lack logic. What Ling Xiao actually did or didn’t do, we will surely investigate thoroughly once he comes out. We will not allow anyone to slander him!"

Chang Yueli truly wanted to kill Guanghan Celestial Venerate on the spot.

But ultimately, she suppressed her anger. With the Moon Blossom Fairy present, any attempt she made would undoubtedly be futile.

"My good daughter, you’ve been in the third trial for quite a long time now. Tell everyone what rewards you’ve received, and let’s all share in the joy."

Fearing that Bai Feifei, this foolish woman, might slip up, Demonflame Celestial hastily changed the subject.

After all, he was Bai Feifei’s foster father and knew her all too well.

Sect Leader Chang Yueying also intended to mediate, since the Pagoda Climbing Ceremony was not yet over. As such, it was meaningless to discuss whose responsibility it was at this point. It would be better to wait for Ling Xiao to come out before addressing the issue.

"Yes, Bai Feifei, tell us about your gains!"

She too asked.

"This disciple passed two trials and received two hundred Moonlight Points. Additionally, based on the time, I was awarded an extra fifty points, making it two hundred and fifty. Besides that, I also obtained a Gold-superior Level Martial Arts, several Precious Treasure Artifacts and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures..."

Bai Feifei listed all her rewards.

One could only say her harvest was quite good; although her cultivation level did not break through significantly, she had still gained some items. With dedicated cultivation for some time, her cultivation level should be able to recover.

"Mm, not bad. Two hundred and fifty Moonlight Points are enough to exchange for Gold-top Level Martial Arts from the Moon Blossom Treasure Pagoda. You’ve done very well!"

Chang Yueying nodded in approval.

The Moon Blossom Treasure Pagoda was a treasure left to the Moon Hua Sect by the Moon Blossom Fairy, but the items inside were not easy to obtain.

There were only two ways to acquire them.

One was to search during the Pagoda Climbing Ceremony.

The other way was to exchange them for Moonlight Points.

As long as one can pass the first two trials and gain two hundred Moonlight Points, they could theoretically exchange for a Gold-top Level Martial Arts book.

Of course, you could also choose to exchange for other items; that’s no problem either.

One more Gold-top Level Martial Arts book in the Sect undoubtedly meant an overall increase in strength. In this sense, this Pagoda Climbing Ceremony was already a success.

Although Bai Feifei’s performance still fell short of the once Sect Leader Chang Yueying and Demonflame Celestial, it was still among the top ten achievements.

If she could do this well, then what about the other disciples who had not yet been eliminated? Wouldn’t their rewards be even greater?

After all, according to the rules, the longer one stays inside the Moon Blossom Treasure Pagoda, the more benefits one gets.

"This is the fifth day of the trial. Originally, Demonflame Celestial and the Sect Leader only stayed in the Moon Blossom Treasure Pagoda for seven days, and neither managed to enter the fourth trial. However, this was already the best achievement in a thousand years. Both of them earned close to one thousand Moonlight Points,"

Yang Dan Lin stroked his beard and smiled, "I wonder who can completely break this record?"

His words received the agreement of many. Regardless of whether Ling Xiao was guilty of numerous misdeeds, besides him, there were still eight others inside: Tantai Lingzi, Liu Lie, Dai Yuling, Leng Hao, Shangguan Lei, Wu Yang, Qin Wu, and Wang Nan.

Wouldn’t at least one of them completely shatter the record?

Whoom!

Just as everyone was full of anticipation, another figure was thrown out.

"Wang Nan!"

After Wang Nan came out, he looked around bewildered, completely unaware of what had happened.

In fact, starting from the second trial, his soul had been restrained by Demonflame Celestial, so he was utterly clueless about everything that followed.

"Seize him and interrogate him thoroughly!"

Elder Jin issued the order.

...

Within the Moon Blossom Pagoda, at the entrance to the fourth level.

The card with the Five-faced Monster that Ling Xiao sealed had already turned blank.

He had used up all three chances.

The guardian was too strong.

A Five-faced Monster with ninety percent of a Half-step Celestial’s strength couldn’t last sixty breaths of time in front of this guardian.

"Senior Brother Ling, the disk is lit up, shall we go to the fourth level?"

"Let’s go!"

Ling Xiao did not dare to wait, seeing that the last Five-faced Monster was about to die under the guardian’s blade, he took the other three and jumped onto the disk together.

The disk emitted a dazzling light, then instantly soared into the sky, entering the circular channel.

"That was really risky, Senior Brother Ling. If it weren’t for you, the three of us would have had no chance to enter the fourth level."

Leng Hao was extremely excited.

He had already prepared himself for death, but unexpectedly, Ling Xiao could summon such a terrifying creature to fight and managed to hold off the guardian.

The disk stopped, and the four people landed on the ground.

The terrain of the fourth level was not much different from the third level, but it was filled with a vast and strong aura, and what’s more worrying, the entire fourth level was shrouded in a grey mist, limiting the visibility of ordinary martial artists to hardly more than three or four meters.

Ling Xiao tried to activate the Mountain and River Martial Soul to analyze the terrain of this level, but to his surprise, this map only showed the immediate surroundings within a ten-meter radius; further away, everything was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.

Indeed, it was strange.

"To be honest, I don’t even know what will happen in the fourth level; let’s rely on our own fortunes," Ling Xiao said to the other three.

"No problem."

The other three were very clear that although they also played a part, more than ninety percent of the credit for reaching the fourth level was Ling Xiao’s; they absolutely could not hold him back anymore.

"Be careful, and don’t worry too much. From now on, every step is a record, and even if you are immediately eliminated, it doesn’t matter," Ling Xiao said with a smile.

"Alright, then we will take our leave first."

After finishing speaking, Shangguan Lei leaped toward the east.

"Senior Brother Ling, I’m leaving too."

Leng Hao went west.

"Take care, see you outside the Moon Blossom Pagoda!"

Dai Yuling headed south.

Ling Xiao took a deep breath, ready to head north, when suddenly he felt a powerful aura coming from the entrance to the fourth level.

He instinctively used Cloud Dragon Divine Movement to evade in time.

"Damn, how did it catch up!"

What Ling Xiao saw was the guardian wielding the Crescent Blade.

Unexpectedly, this guy had actually followed him from the third level, which was unlucky.

Ling Xiao didn’t think much and immediately spread out his Golden Dragon Wings and flew north.

In terms of speed, he still had an absolute advantage, so he wasn’t afraid of what the guardian could do to him.

The guardian also increased his speed, chasing in the direction Ling Xiao had fled.

Meanwhile, in the third level, some subtle changes were also taking place.
