In a pitch-black space.
It was a vast and boundless place, dotted with stars.
Two figures were galloping here. They were the mysterious black shadow and Luo Xuexian who had disappeared from Rainbow Cloud City.
"Little girl, remember what you promised me just now." The black shadow tilted his head and smiled.
Luo Xuexian kept her head down, and her eyes were a little absent-minded.
Just now, when Qin Shi was in danger, she cried and begged the black shadow to help …
"I remember that I am not even afraid of death. Why would I be afraid of the Wild Spirit Realm?" Luo Xuexian responded while sobbing sadly.
The black shadow clasped his hands behind his back. "Is it really worth it for him?
Just now, I felt that he has a little spirit in him. Compared with you, he seems to care more about that spirit. "
"Haha, is there a value in a relationship?"
Luo Xuexian raised her head, and her beautiful eyes revealed sincere love. "There are many kinds of feelings. One is that I only hope that he will be happy, even if I am not in this happiness!"
The black shadow was stunned for a moment, and finally sighed and shook his head. "I only hope that in the future, you will not regret your naivety and immaturity."
…
Time flew by.
Half a month had passed since the competition in Inferno Prison.
Rainbow Cloud City, Luo Family.
The Luo Family won the competition in Inferno Prison, but they were not happy about it.
Luo Xuexian's departure was a big blow to the Luo Family. Luo Feng was seriously ill because of this, and Luo Yiming and Luo Jinxin were also worried about their sister.
Qin Shi was seriously injured, and his spiritual power was exhausted. When he returned to the Luo Family, he passed out and stayed in Luo Xuexian's boudoir.
Early in the morning, the morning light scattered through the window and fell on the elegant room, leaving colorful spots of light.
"It hurts …"
Feeling pain all over his body, Qin Shi opened his eyes weakly and hooked his finger on the side of his trouser leg.
"You're awake?" Jade In The Book floated out excitedly.
"Yes, where am I?" Qin Shi sat up with difficulty and patted his head hard.
Jade In The Book paused and pursed her red lips. "This is Luo Xuexian's room …"
"Xue Xian?"
Qin Shi suddenly thought of something and immediately fell silent. He recalled the scene when Luo Xuexian and the black shadow disappeared into the space crack.
He remained silent and sniffed the faint body fragrance left in the room. He reluctantly opened his mouth and asked, "Sister Yu, was Xuexian really taken away by someone?"
"Yes."
Jade In The Book replied softly.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Shi clenched his fists tightly, his slightly sharp nails piercing into his palms. He revealed a self-mocking, bitter smile, "Hehe, I promised to help her, but in the end, I harmed her instead!"
"Shi Tou, don't blame yourself too much. It's not your fault. That man is very powerful. If I'm not mistaken, he should have been lurking around Luo Xuexian for a long time." Jade In The Book hesitated for a moment, and then tried to persuade Shi Tou.
Qin Shi shook his head and said, "I know. I'm just worried about her …"
After saying this, his eyes became piercingly cold. Thinking of all the things that happened between him and Luo Xuexian, he clenched the quilt tightly. "I don't care who that black shadow is. If he dares to hurt Xuexian, I will kill him sooner or later."
"Don't worry. Since that man could save you, he should not harm Luo Xuexian." Jade In The Book analyzed.
"I hope so."
Qin Shi did not dwell on this issue. After all, it was already over. He paused for a moment and asked, "By the way, what about the Wei Family?
They must not be reconciled to losing the Purgatory Tower. Did they make trouble for the Luo Family again? "
"No. The Master of the Wei Family was seriously injured by the black shadow. After returning to the Wei Family, he announced that he would do a closed-door training. The Wei Family is surprisingly quiet." Jade In The Book shook her head and replied.
"Hehe?
Seriously injured?
Serves him f * cking right! "Qin Shi recalled Wei Bing's face and felt relieved in his heart.
He did not say anything more. He directly sat cross-legged on the bed and looked inside his body to see the injuries inside.
"Phew … Fortunately, they are all superficial injuries. Only a few blood vessels have blood clots." After looking inside, Qin Shi relaxed a lot and immediately started to operate the Sweet Pouring Rain Technique.
After the Sweet Pouring Rain Technique circulated a few times inside his body, his injuries quickly recovered.
Due to the extreme lack of spiritual power, when his body was filled with spiritual power again, Qin Shi's strength improved a little bit and stabilized in the middle stage of the Spirit Breaking Realm.
Knock, knock, knock!
At this time, someone knocked on the door.
Jade In The Book hurried back to the Burning Book. Qin Shi shouted toward the door, "Who is it?"
The door was pushed open and Luo Haiqing strode in. "Shi Tou, you are awake?
How are your injuries? "
"Hehe, my body is strong. Brother Haiqing, you came here so early in the morning. Did you need something?" Qin Shi stretched his body and jumped off the bed.
Luo Haiqing nodded. "Yes. Today, the Patriarch is going to open the Purgatory Tower. He asked me to see if you were awake. Now that you are awake, why don't you come with me to take a look?"
"Open the Purgatory Tower?"
Qin Shi's eyes lit up. After a simple grooming, he left the room with Luo Haiqing.
After leaving the room, the Luo Family's main force had already set off. The two of them directly went to the Purgatory Tower in the center of the city.
When they arrived at the Purgatory Tower, the arena in front of the tower had not yet been repaired. It was full of potholes and gullies. It was a tragic sight.
"Young Master Qin, are your injuries better?" Seeing Qin Shi, Luo Feng came to greet him and forced a smile.
Looking at Luo Feng, Qin Shi was shocked. In just half a month, Luo Feng looked a lot older. The hair on his temples had already turned white, and his face was so pale that there was no color.
Pausing for a while, Qin Shi sighed. "Thanks to the Patriarch's concern, I'm fine now."
"It's good that you're fine. It's good that you're fine!"
Luo Feng said twice. He looked at Qin Shi with a strange gaze. He couldn't describe it, but he felt like he was looking at his own son.
Qin Shi knew that Luo Feng regarded him as his concern for Luo Xuexian. Because of this, he did not say anything, but his heart was touched.
"It's the first time the Purgatory Tower opens, and the juniors of the Luo family are the first to enter. Later, you should go with them." Luo Feng smiled amiably and patted Qin Shi's shoulder. "It's good for your injuries."
"I will listen to the Patriarch's arrangement."
Qin Shi did not refuse. He had been interested in the Purgatory Tower for a long time.
"Yes, the spirit energy in the Purgatory Tower is pure, and it has the effect of three autumns. The higher the level, the better the effect." Luo Feng paused for a while and then added, "But remember, don't try to be brave."
"Don't worry, Patriarch. I don't want to lose my life." Qin Shi shrugged and smiled.
Because today was the first time the Luo family opened the Purgatory Tower, many people came to join in the fun.
Although the spirit energy in the Purgatory Tower was pure, the spiritual pressure was also strong. Even in the first level, ordinary people would be lucky to endure for a day. In the past few years in Rainbow Cloud City, the person who could endure for the longest time in the tower was the Old Ancestor of the Luo family sixty years ago.
The record was seven days.
"How long do you think the juniors of the Luo family can stay in the Purgatory Tower this time?"
"One or two days is the limit, right?
After all, they are just juniors. "
"Not necessarily. Have you forgotten how strong the son-in-law of the Luo family was? Maybe he can stay for three days."
More and more people came to watch. Pu Quan and He Yan also came to join in the fun.
When the two came to Qin Shi's side, Pu Quan was the first to speak. "Haha, little guy, you're quite strong, right?
You woke up so quickly. I thought you would be in a coma for half a year. "
Qin Shi and Pu Quan didn't get along, so he smirked. "Hehe, I want to, but the problem is, if I am in a coma for half a year, won't Senior Pu Quan be worried to death?"
"Worried about what?" Pu Quan was stunned.
"You're worried about taking me as a disciple!"
Qin Shi tilted his head and laughed. "That's why I woke up quickly. Otherwise, you would be worried to death, and I would have to collect your corpse."
"You …" Pu Quan was speechless.
Looking at the old and the young arguing, He Yan shook his head helplessly. "Alright, can you two stop fighting as soon as you see each other?"
Qin Shi wrinkled his nose and stopped arguing with Pu Quan.
At this time, it was already noon. Luo Feng walked to the entrance of the Purgatory Tower and released the dense spirit energy in his body. He slammed it against the Purgatory Tower and broke the barrier.
Seeing the door slowly open, the Luo Family disciples rubbed their palms. They had been waiting for this moment for too long.
When the door of the pagoda was fully opened, Luo Feng waved his sleeve and cut off the spiritual power. He then shouted to the juniors, "Alright, go on in. But remember, don't try to show off inside the pagoda. If you feel unwell, come out immediately!"
The juniors of the Luo Family nodded in unison and rushed into the Purgatory Tower.
"Little guy, don't embarrass Master when you go in. No matter what, you have to stay inside for at least seven or eight days before coming out. Do you hear me?" Pu Quan laughed and patted Qin Shi.
"Who's your disciple?"
Qin Shi rolled his eyes and walked into the Purgatory Tower with his head held high.
The inside of the Purgatory Tower was as dark as night. One couldn't even see their fingers in front of them. The center was supported by four stone pillars. On the left side of the first floor, there was a spiral staircase that led to the second floor.
Many of the Luo Family disciples were stunned the moment they stepped into the first floor. Some of the weaker ones had to squat down. Only a few could walk freely here.
As soon as Qin Shi stepped into the tower, a strong spirit energy hit him in the face.
This spirit energy was very pure, without any impurities. Just breathing it made the blood in his body boil.
"This Purgatory Tower is really not just for show." Qin Shi licked his chapped lips, his eyes shining with excitement.
When he entered the Purgatory Tower, he didn't rush to the second floor. Instead, he walked around the Purgatory Tower.
Coincidentally, he found that the walls of the Purgatory Tower were carved with all kinds of wild beasts. There were wolves howling in the night sky, cheetahs running in the wilderness, and fierce tigers ruling over all things.
There were all kinds of wild beasts. He had seen some before, and there were some he hadn't even seen before.
Qin Shi raised his hand and touched the stone wall. He felt the wild beast carvings and couldn't help but be curious. "These carvings are so magical … They are vivid and lifelike. It's as if there are living things embedded in the wall …"
"Shi, this tower is not simple. Do you know where it came from?" Jade In The Book suddenly asked.
"What?"
Qin Shi froze for a moment. Recalling Luo Xuexian's words, he shook his head and said, "I don't know. But she said that as long as I can reach the top of the tower, I will know the origin of this Purgatory Tower!"
"Okay. Let's go to the top of the tower and have a look," Jade In The Book replied.
The corner of Qin Shi's eyes twitched. He wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and thought, Sister Yu, do you think I am an immortal?
No one has been able to reach the top of the tower for thousands of years, and you want me to go up?
"Silly. Don't you have me?"
Jade In The Book smacked her lips and said, "If you can't hold it, I will open the barrier for you!"
"Cheat …?"
