The figure stood there and muttered to himself, "That's not right! He probably didn't do it to deal with me. He probably wasn't sure if someone was following him, so he wanted to use this method to test us. "
After a long silence, the figure suddenly snorted and said, "So what if he knows someone is following him? I've been planning for so many years, and every time I climb the pagoda, I'll get some benefits. I can't give up just because I was discovered by this kid! "
After saying that, he chased after them again.
…
Hmm?
Ling Xiao, who was walking forward, suddenly frowned.
"It's actually a Celestial Realm expert! How is that possible? "
Ling Xiao was shocked. His soul power told him that the person following them was a Celestial Realm expert. Not only that, but this guy also had the aura of a Yuehua School martial artist.
However, he wasn't any of the disciples in this pagoda ascension ceremony. Could it be someone who had stayed in the Moonlight Pagoda before?
That was impossible!
According to the Moon Maiden, once the pagoda ascension ceremony ended, everyone would be sent out of the Moonlight Pagoda, unless there was an accident and their souls were bound in the pagoda.
Could it be the missing Yuehua School disciple?
Ling Xiao shook his head and didn't continue thinking about it. Anyway, there was no point in thinking about it. The other party didn't attack them directly, but followed them from behind. It meant that he was afraid.
If that was the case, it shouldn't be a problem as long as they were careful.
What he needed to care about now was the trial!
The fork was very long. Although Ling Xiao was sure that they could kill the monsters at the end of the fork, they still had to be careful along the way.
He didn't want to fail miserably at such an easy task.
Along the way, the most they encountered were poisonous snakes. However, with Dai Yuling, they had an easier time.
After about an hour, Ling Xiao felt that his cultivation was showing signs of a breakthrough.
Danger and opportunity really coexisted. From the first stage to the second stage, only a little more than a day had passed, and he was about to break through.
It was probably because he had absorbed a lot of spiritual herbs' aura in the herb garden.
"You two, sit down and rest. I'll study these snake gallbladders."
Previously, he had used the Sword Manipulation Technique to kill five golden snakes.
At the same time, he also obtained five gall bladders from the little golden snake.
"This snake gallbladder actually has the effect of strengthening one's Martial Veins and raising one's cultivation. Interesting."
Ling Xiao directly swallowed all five snake gallbladders into his stomach.
Then, he sat cross-legged and began to cultivate.
After Leng Hao and Dai Yuling recovered their stamina, they stood guard for Ling Xiao. Although the monsters nearby had been cleared and there wouldn't be any danger for a while, they still had to be prepared.
About ten minutes later, all five snake galls were digested and absorbed, Ling Xiao's Martial Veins strengthened slightly and his cultivation finally broke through the shackles of the mid-stage Transcendent Realm Sixth Layer.
The tower ascension ceremony did not delay his cultivation. On the contrary, it was helpful. This made Ling Xiao happy.
It seemed like it was the right choice to participate in this tower ascension ceremony.
Then, should he test the strength of the guy behind him?
Although he could tell from his soul power that the other party's cultivation base was no lower than the Sky Tier, he still felt that something was not quite right.
"You two, come here!"
Ling Xiao called Dai Yuling and Leng Hao to the side, then drew something on the ground while transmitting his voice to them, "… That's good enough, can you do it?"
"Don't worry, we'll do our best."
Dai Yuling and Leng Hao both nodded.
"Good, then let's get started."
After the three finished their discussion, Leng Hao went to pick up all the unconscious poisonous snakes and gathered them together.
Dai Yuling was responsible for making a kind of medicinal powder while Ling Xiao began to draw a medium-sized Spirit Array nearby.
The Spirit Array Refining Stone in his hand flashed. This was a Spirit Array Refining Stone he had refined long ago. The Spirit Array he was going to arrange now was actually a combination of the Fire Snake Spirit Array, Ten Thousand Beast Blood Refining Array, and Plague Bone Dissolving Array.
Ling Xiao named it the "Thousand Poison Ten Thousand Snake Spirit Array".
To arrange this Spirit Array, they needed a large number of living poisonous snakes. It just so happened that the surrounding environment provided them with this excellent opportunity.
After a few minutes, all the arrangements were completed.
Everyone hid in the dark and began to wait.
Ling Xiao helped Dai Yuling and Leng Hao conceal all of their auras and stayed there quietly like three stones.
"What's that!"
Suddenly, a figure darted out of the darkness with a somewhat panicked expression.
Tens of thousands of poisonous snakes almost completely surrounded him.
The Plague Poison and Dai Yuling's secret Sleeping Powder worked together.
Coupled with ten times the terrifying snake venom, even this figure who had been very calm all this time was a little overwhelmed.
There were as many as hundreds of bites on his body, although most of the poisonous snakes turned into flying ashes the moment they touched him.
But there were still toxins and Sleeping Powder that were sucked in by this person, causing this guy's figure to be a little shaky.
Dai Yuling and Leng Hao were shocked when they saw this scene.
They originally thought that Ling Xiao was worrying too much, but they didn't expect that there really was someone behind them, and this person's strength was really strong. If it weren't for the help of so many poisonous snakes, the three of them probably wouldn't be enough.
"It's actually you!"
The strange fog around that figure gradually dissipated, revealing his original appearance. It was the disciple who disappeared.
However, the aura that Ling Xiao felt was from another person.
"You are The Flame Deity!"
"What!"
Dai Yuling and Leng Hao both widened their eyes, not knowing what Ling Xiao was talking about.
"No, you can't be The Flame Deity!"
Ling Xiao then shook his head and said, "You are just a puppet doppelganger of him. That's right, I didn't expect that The Flame Deity actually used the souls and corpses of his fellow disciples to refine such a puppet. No wonder he can get a lot of benefits every time he ascends the tower. So that's why."
Before entering the pagoda ascension ceremony, Ling Xiao had heard from Yang Danlin that every time Empyrean Demonflame ascended the pagoda, he would always make breakthroughs in his cultivation. Moreover, he would obtain some strange treasures. Ling Xiao had no idea where he obtained them.
Although The Flame Deity explained that he got them from doing a mission outside, Yang Danlin didn't believe it.
Now it seemed that this matter was true.
"Damn it, you actually dared to plot against this sovereign. Aren't you afraid that this sovereign will kill you?"
The Flame Deity's puppet doppelganger asked coldly.
"Afraid, of course I'm afraid! However, with The Flame Deity's character, if he could really kill us, he would have already done it. There should be a reason why he didn't do it. "
Ling Xiao smiled faintly and said, "If I'm not wrong, I'm afraid that you can't easily attack us because you can't use your full strength. Otherwise, even if you're just a puppet doppelganger, you would still be thrown out by the Moonlight Pagoda."
The puppet doppelganger was shocked because Ling Xiao's guess was right.
If it wasn't for this, he would have already attacked instead of just following behind.
