What should we do?
How exactly do we break the impasse?
Just as he was feeling anxious, footsteps suddenly ca from the stairs.
Zhou Qing swiftly moved to the side, pretending to be breaking the Spirit dicine’s restriction.
"Did you get the thing?" Sikong Yan rushed over, eyes flashing with excitent, clearly having gained a lot on the seventh floor.
Zhou Qing nodded slightly: "It’s alright."
"Haha!" Sikong Yan laughed heartily, "Stick with and I’ll make sure you eat well! I’ve discovered that our partnership is really a match made in heaven."
"Look, I have the strength, you have the skills, where can’t we go in this Imperial City?"
Zhou Qing managed to put on a smile to appease him.
Sikong Yan suddenly paused, rubbing his chin suspiciously: "Strange, you usually have a straight face, why are you smiling at my suggestion this ti?"
Zhou Qing’s heart tightened, and he imdiately explained: "Because the Wood Attribute Spirit Stones stored here far exceed my expectations, and... this ti you haven’t caused trouble."
Upon hearing this explanation, Sikong Yan laughed again, but then his eyebrows raised, revealing a sly smile: "Just because I didn’t make a fuss earlier, doesn’t an I won’t later!"
Zhou Qing’s face changed dramatically.
Sikong Yan saw this and laughed even more heartily: "I’m just teasing you! Stop ssing with these dicinal materials, though rare, with your connection with Duobao Trading House’s Mo Tianheng, isn’t it just a matter of asking to get this Spirit dicine?"
Zhou Qing had no choice but to pretend to reluctantly withdraw.
"Look at you, being greedy!" Sikong Yan urged, "Let’s hurry up and go, ti is almost up!"
After speaking, he took out the Compass, directly tearing the space before him.
Zhou Qing also took out the Token, following closely into the crack.
The space crack closed imdiately, vanishing without a trace.
About ten breaths later, the entire glazed treasure tower suddenly shook violently!
The Nine Heaven Luo Restriction was triggered instantly, and red, blue, and purple light interweaved and flowed, with dense Array Patterns appearing on the floor, walls, and ceiling of each floor of the tower.
Spiritual Light swept through every inch of space like a tidal wave, and the power of the restriction rushed through like a flood, verifying the position, quantity, and aura of every collection piece one by one.
When this power reached the sixth floor, the restriction suddenly stalled.
"Buzz—"
A muffled bell tolled inside the tower, its sound waves penetrating the void and spreading instantly throughout the palace.
Outside the tower, thirty-six Divinity Transformation Guards changed color simultaneously.
"Nine Heaven Luo warning?!" The head guard’s pupils contracted sharply, his Adam’s apple rolling, "The treasure vault has been compromised! How is this possible!"
Before his voice fell, the nine mysterious iron chains entwined around the tower straightened suddenly, emitting a sharp "clanging" sound.
The ancient runes on the chains sequentially lit up with a blood-red glow, weaving into a heavenly net that sealed the entire tower airtight.
The next mont, the entire world suddenly fell silent.
A pitch-black crack split open in the void, and then the Emperor Xuanyuan Hao erged from the void, with golden lotuses blooming under his feet.
He was dressed in a nine-dragon imperial robe, adorned with the Mountain and River Crown, and exuded an aura of authority without anger.
The Emperor Dao and Dragon Qi entwined around him pressured the space to slightly distort, standing there alone as if the entire world was bound to bow to him.
"Such audacity!"
The two seemingly casual words struck the thirty-six Divinity Transformation Guards like a thunderclap, causing them to imdiately fall to their knees, foreheads pressed tightly against the blue bricks, breathless.
Xuanyuan Hao snorted coldly, his sleeves moving automatically without wind.
He raised his hand, exerted a virtual press, and the nine chains emitted creaking sounds under the strain, forcibly prying open a gap.
"Open!"
With a low shout, the tower doors bood open.
Xuanyuan Hao entered with his hands behind his back, and golden ripples appeared on the ground with each step he took.
The vast Divine Sense surged like a tide, filling every corner of the tower in an instant.
The Spirit Stone racks on the sixth floor were empty, and the three Star Pearls on the seventh floor had vanished.
What was even more peculiar was that there wasn’t a trace of a living presence left in the entire tower.
"Interesting." Xuanyuan Hao’s eyes slightly narrowed, a cold gleam flashing in his gaze, as he focused once more on probing...
