Rainbow Cloud City.
After the opening of the Purgatory Tower.
A group of citizens surrounded the tower, their eyes filled with anticipation and curiosity. They all wanted to know how long the Luo Family juniors could last in Rainbow Cloud City.
"Clan Head, who do you think among the younger generation will be able to last the longest in the tower?" a group of deacons and elders asked as they rubbed their palms together beside Luo Feng.
Inside the tower, there were many of their children and grandchildren.
After thinking for a while, Luo Feng stood with his hands behind his back and said, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be Young Master Qin …"
"I don't think so."
Luo Xuan snorted disdainfully. "Although Young Master Qin's combat ability is very strong, he mostly relies on external help. He is only at the middle stage of the Spirit Breaking Realm. On the other hand, Second Young Master is at the late stage of the Spirit Breaking Realm. I feel that there is a lot of hope."
"External help?"
Luo Feng only smiled at Luo Xuan's words and did not respond.
However, he knew very well that not everyone could rely on external help to defeat three people at the middle stage of the Spirit Breaking Realm.
Bang!
As the discussion continued, a deafening explosion suddenly rang out. The stone door of the Purgatory Tower was pushed open from the inside. A group of Luo Family disciples ran out of the tower in a panic.
These disciples' faces were filled with fear, and they all stumbled around as if they had seen a ghost. They were in a sorry state.
When Luo Feng and the Luo Family elders saw this, they could not help but frown. However, when they saw that most of them were branch family disciples, they relaxed a bit. "Ah, it's already very good that they could last this long."
Unexpectedly, these disciples ran before Luo Feng and shouted in shock, "Patriarch, no, it's not that we couldn't last, it's that there are desolate beasts in the Purgatory Tower. There really are desolate beasts."
Hearing this, Luo Feng frowned and became displeased. "If you can't last, then you can't last. You actually made up such a lie?
Don't you feel ashamed? "
The juniors were startled. They had really seen desolate beasts revive on the walls of the Purgatory Tower. However, when they heard Luo Feng's words, they did not know how to explain it.
"Dad, what they said is true. There really are desolate beasts in the tower!"
At this moment, Luo Jinxin walked out of the Purgatory Tower, his whole body covered in wounds.
Luo Feng and the Luo Family's Elders were stunned. They quickly went forward to support Luo Jinxin and asked in confusion, "Jinxin, Third Young Master, what happened?
Who hurt you? "
Being supported, Huang Jinxin felt as if he had just escaped from a nightmare. He took a few deep breaths and said, "It's a Desolate Beast. In the Purgatory Tower, all the Desolate Beasts carved on the walls came to life!"
Boom!
His words shocked Luo Feng and the other deacons.
If one person said that he was a monster, it might be a deliberate rumor, but what about two, three, or ten people?
Was this really just a rumor?
It was obviously impossible.
When the spectators saw Luo Jinxin, they did not know what was happening in the Purgatory Tower. They discussed curiously, "Hey, the Luo Clan's Third Young Master is in such a sorry state. How high do you think he can go?"
"I estimate that the strongest of the Luo Clan's younger generation will only be able to reach the fifth floor. Furthermore, they won't even be able to last a day there."
"Hmm, five levels should be the limit, right?"
The crowd pointed at Luo Jinxin and discussed among themselves.
Realizing the gravity of the situation, Luo Feng grabbed Luo Jinxin's hand and asked, "Where are your Second Brother and Gongzi Qin?"
"I don't know. My Second Brother and Gongzi Qin went up to the seventh floor. I stopped at the sixth floor …" Luo Jinxin took a deep breath to calm himself down.
The seventh floor?
Luo Feng and the Luo Family's Elders were astonished.
The spectators widened their eyes in shock.
"The seventh floor?
Two juniors are actually able to reach the seventh floor? "
"That can't be, right?
Back when the Wei Clan was in charge of the Purgatory Tower, not even the elders were able to reach the seventh floor. It seems like the Wei Clan's First Young Master only managed to reach the seventh floor. "
"Perhaps … Have you forgotten about the Luo Clan's son-in-law's prowess?"
"Hmm, that Gongzi Qin is really incredible. Now that the Luo Clan's First Young Mistress isn't around, I must marry him!"
"Tsk, you want to marry him?
Why don't you look at yourself? "
"Why?
If you can't marry him, I'll be a slave! "
A group of commoners clamored, and a few of them had lustful eyes. Their eyes were glowing with a golden light. It was as if Qin Shi had just come out of purgatory and was about to pounce on him and tear him to shreds.
However, Luo Feng and the Luo Clan's elders did not feel proud. Instead, their gazes turned serious.
The two of them had reached the seventh floor, but if the Purgatory Tower was really filled with monsters as Luo Jinxin had said … the two of them would be in danger.
"Father, don't worry. My Second Brother and Gongzi Qin will definitely be fine." Luo Jinxin had recovered slightly. After seeing Luo Feng's worry, he went forward to support him.
"Hmm … Let's wait a little longer."
Luo Feng nodded. This was the only thing he could do now.
…
Time flew, and three days and months passed.
At dusk on the first day, the Luo Clan's disciples who had entered the Purgatory Tower had all come out. Only Luo Yiming and Qin Shi were still missing.
There was still no news from the two of them.
"This won't do. I'll go in and take a look!" Luo Feng finally couldn't hold it in anymore and prepared to personally enter the Purgatory Tower.
However, just as he walked in front of the Purgatory Tower, a golden barrier suddenly condensed on the Purgatory Tower's door. A golden light suddenly shot out from the barrier and struck Luo Feng's chest.
Bang!
Before Luo Feng could react, the golden light knocked him back dozens of meters.
"Patriarch!"
The Luo Clan members were shocked and rushed forward to support Luo Feng.
The people standing behind him all exclaimed in shock. How strong was Luo Feng?
He was at the middle stage of the King Spirit Realm, the second strongest expert of Rainbow Cloud City. The power that could send him flying with a single strike … was too terrifying.
"Look, it's the Second Young Master!"
A voice interrupted everyone's thoughts.
Everyone was startled. Luo Feng hurriedly stood up and looked toward the Purgatory Tower.
Inside the Purgatory Pagoda, a thin figure staggered out.
"Second Brother, Second Young Master, are you alright?"
The Luo Clan members all ran up to him and asked curiously.
Luo Yiming clearly relaxed after being supported by everyone. His eyes were a little unfocused as he waved his hand and said, "I'm, I'm fine … How many days did I stay in there?"
"Three days …"
"That's right, Second Young Master, you're too amazing. You actually stayed in there for three days!"
Luo Yiming's eyes were a little unfocused as he listened to everyone's discussion. He lowered his head and didn't say anything.
However, when he thought about it, he remembered that he had stayed in the Purgatory Tower for the past three days because he was knocked out by a wild beast … The spirit energy in the Purgatory Tower had already disappeared as early as the first day.
"Three days …" Luo Yiming muttered to himself.
Luo Yiming muttered to himself. Suddenly, he thought of something, "Oh right, Qin Shi … Father, where is Qin Shi?
Did he come out? "
"Young Master Qin?"
Luo Feng was startled and shook his head. "Didn't you go to the seventh floor together?"
"The seventh floor?
I went to the eighth floor. "Luo Yiming shook his head.
Boom!
The atmosphere instantly exploded as everyone stared at Luo Yiming in disbelief.
The eighth floor, the eighth floor, what kind of concept was that?
Luo Feng's eyes flashed. He grabbed Luo Yiming's hand and said, "Good, good, good. As expected of my son, you can go to the eighth floor!"
At the side, Luo Jinxin frowned and felt that something was wrong. He asked, "That's not right. Second Brother, when you went to the seventh floor, didn't you see Young Master Qin?"
Hearing this, Luo Feng and the others came back to their senses and looked at Luo Yiming in confusion.
Being stared at by everyone, Luo Yiming's heart tightened. "The seventh floor?
Why is he on the seventh floor? "
"He's not on the seventh floor?"
The group of disciples all looked puzzled.
Luo Feng was even more so. He wrinkled his nose and said, "Could it be … he went to the eighth floor with you?"
"No!"
Luo Yiming shook his head and his eyes became a little heavy. "He, went to the ninth floor!"
"The ninth floor?"
Suddenly, the crowd was silent like stagnant water.
Everyone's eyes widened and they looked at Luo Yiming in shock.
"Gulp …" Finally, someone couldn't help but choke and said in panic, "The ninth floor?
Young Master Qin went to the ninth floor?
This … this is impossible, right? "
"That's right. Didn't they say that in the past thousand years, no more than five people could reach the ninth floor?
Even the Wei Family Head only went to the ninth floor. How did Young Master Qin do it? "
Luo Feng also frowned and patted Luo Yiming's shoulder. "Yiming, is what you said true?
Young Master Qin really went to the ninth floor? "
"Yes …" Luo Yiming paused and nodded.
This time, everyone was speechless. They raised their heads and looked up at the Purgatory Tower. Their eyes fixed on the position of the ninth floor …
This Qin Shi, in a short half a month, really brought too much shock to them.
Behind him, Pu Quan in black robes, with his hands behind his back, smiled especially happily. "As expected of my disciple, he can actually go to the ninth floor."
"Yes."
He Yan nodded in agreement. He had been in Rainbow Cloud City for a long time and knew the Purgatory Tower very well. He praised, "I just don't know how long he can stay in the tower."
Everyone was surprised and expectant.
Time flew. One day, two days, three days, seven days.
In the blink of an eye, the Purgatory Tower had been open for seven days. This had already surpassed the record set by the Luo Family Old Ancestor. No one could stay longer than seven days in the Purgatory Tower.
But … Qin Shi still hadn't come out.
This was too exaggerated, causing the surrounding people to be a little nervous.
Ten days.
In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed. There was still no news of Qin Shi coming out.
At this time, the group of people, from their initial excitement, slowly lost their minds. They no longer believed in Qin Shi.
"Father, Young Master Qin … Could something have happened to him?" Luo Jinxin hesitated, clenching his fists and asking.
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Luo Feng's eyes were angry, and he fiercely scolded. Then, he bit his lower lip and looked at the Purgatory Tower. "The person that Xue Xian likes, he definitely won't have an accident!"
"But … it's been ten days."
Clang. Ten days fell on everyone's hearts, causing them to shiver.
Yes, it had been ten days. Even if it was seven days, perhaps some people would be willing to believe it. However, these ten days had already broken the thousand-year rule of the Purgatory Tower. Could Qin Shi really break this miracle?
"Third Brother, don't talk nonsense. It's not like you don't know Young Master Qin's strength. He's definitely fine." Luo Yiming angrily interrupted Luo Jinxin, but in his heart, he wasn't so sure.
Some people couldn't wait anymore. They all sighed in disappointment and returned home, no longer believing in Qin Shi.
"Let's go. Don't wait anymore. He's definitely dead. I thought he was some powerful character, but he actually buried himself in the Purgatory Tower."
"Idiot, he only has skills, but he doesn't have a brain."
"I told him not to be stubborn, but he didn't listen. He deserved to die."
This group of people were all fence-sitters. Seeing that Qin Shi hadn't left the Purgatory Tower for seven days, they all changed from bragging to mocking and ridiculing him.
He Yan and Pu Quan were at the back.
"Old Pu, what do you think?" He Yan stroked his beard.
"Hehe, don't worry. This kid, no matter where he goes, he will make some noise. I believe he will definitely come out!" Pu Quan was expressionless, but he replied firmly.
He Yan was stunned. In the end, he smiled bitterly and shook his head. "I hope he won't betray your trust."
Eleven days.
Thirteen days.
The days passed with difficulty. The number of people waiting decreased, and the number of people who believed in Qin Shi also decreased. In the end, the people of Rainbow Cloud City believed that Qin Shi had died in the Purgatory Tower.
Fifteen days …
Half a month passed.
Everything seemed to have returned to normal. The people of Rainbow Cloud City went back to their own business. No one cared about Qin Shi anymore.
Pu Quan and He Yan both frowned.
Only the people of the Luo Family stayed here for the past fifteen days.
His mind finally calmed down. Luo Feng's body trembled. "Is there … really no hope?"
He looked at the Purgatory Tower. He wanted to go in and take a look, but he couldn't. He treated Qin Shi as Luo Xuexian's yearning. Now, Qin Shi's life and death were unknown. He despaired. "Does the heavens have to be so decisive?"
"Hehe, how stubborn. It's been half a month, and you're still waiting for that dead man?"
At this moment, a mocking voice suddenly came.
The people of the Luo Family were stunned. Luo Feng was the first to turn around. He saw Wei Bing leading hundreds of disciples, surrounding the people of the Luo Family. He was shocked. "Wei Bing, what are you doing?"
