To Xu Shouwang and the rest, killing a few people was a very normal thing.
They wouldn't feel anything when they killed these people. They wouldn't feel uneasy killing these people because they were acquaintances.
Because in their eyes, these people were their shields. They needed to make use of them. That was why they got to know them.
They didn't intend to kill them, but these people didn't know how to appreciate favors.
They kept saying that they wanted to leave this place. Otherwise, they might not have died even after the mission was completed.
But since these people couldn't help them, it didn't matter if they died.
Now that they didn't have these people chattering in their ears, they felt much more comfortable.
Under Yin Tianzong's Corpse Dissolving Powder, these corpses completely disappeared without a trace. It was as if they had never existed in this world.
Since there were no outsiders, they didn't need to hide anything anymore. Everyone was more comfortable talking.
"We need to recover too. It's pitch black now. Even if we want to find clues, it'll be very difficult. Let's wait until it's daytime!" Xu Shouwang found a suitable place and sat down cross-legged, preparing to recover.
After all, they had expended a lot of energy and killed a few people. No matter how weak these people were, they still needed to expend their energy.
It was necessary for them to recover to their best state. Whether it was to find clues tomorrow or to deal with the sudden arrival of the Cheng Family, it was necessary.
The other three nodded and each found a place to recover.
To the people outside, no one knew what had happened inside.
Chao Shi and Zhao Zhan didn't intend to stay here any longer. After such a long time, they felt that the probability of Xu Shouwang and the rest getting into trouble inside was much higher than the probability of them cultivating inside.
Hence, they quickly sent the news to Elder Tang.
When Elder Tang received the news, he furrowed his brows deeply.
According to the plan, this mission should have been completed long ago. But it had been more than 20 days since they arrived at the Cheng Family.
After such a long time, there wasn't even any news from the first mission. Elder Tang knew that something must have gone wrong.
However, he didn't hear any news about Xu Shouwang and the rest. Hence, although he was worried about them, he thought that things had reached the worst stage.
Hence, he had been waiting for good news from Xu Shouwang and the rest.
It didn't matter if it took longer, as long as he could complete the mission.
In order to ensure everyone's safety, they had different levels of communication. In this plan, Xu Shouwang and the others would directly contact him.
Chao Shi and Zhao Zhan were the middlemen. No matter what happened, they were the ones who passed the message.
Therefore, regardless of whether Xu Shouwang's plan succeeded or not, Xu Shouwang's news would first be passed to Chao Shi, and then Chao Shi would pass the news to him.
However, even if Chao Shi and Zhao Zhan could send him messages, in order to ensure their safety, they would do their best not to send messages to each other.
After all, this was the Cheng Family's residence. Even if they were to pass on a message once, they might be targeted by the Cheng Family.
Therefore, when he received the news about Chao Shi and Zhao Zhan, he was very excited. After all, he had been waiting for this news for a long time.
However, to his disappointment, the news that he had been waiting for was not good news.
The mission was not a success, and Xu Shouwang and the others might still be in trouble in the tower. They might even have met with misfortune.
The first mission was so unsuccessful, which made him even more worried about the later plans.
However, the most important problem now was to determine the situation of Xu Shouwang and the others. Were they dead or alive? If they were alive, how was the mission completed?
"This is really a difficult problem!" Elder Tang sighed softly.
Although they had already arranged for a backup team in the plan, they still had a limited number of people to act in.
If the mission could be completed in one go, of course, it would be perfect. If the mission needed to be carried out by the backup team, it meant that they would be short of people.
Now that the mission was not completed, even if he was very dissatisfied, he still had to let the backup team continue to carry out the mission. They had to complete this mission.
One had to know that the reason why this mission was placed first was because it was particularly important.
As long as this mission was completed, they would not have time to carry out the other missions before the end of the Cheng Family's competition. They could even leave.
However, if they did not even complete this mission, they would not be able to report back.
Sighing again, Elder Tang could only helplessly inform the backup team to enter the tower to carry out the second mission.
The backup team was none other than Chao Shi, Zhao Zhan, and the others who had contacted him separately.
This was because the more people he contacted, the more people would be exposed.
Therefore, in a situation where it was not necessary, there was no need to expose others when the mission could be completed with only a few people.
However, when Elder Tang made up his mind to let the reserve team continue with the mission, he didn't expect that Chao Shi and Zhao Zhan, who were part of the reserve team, would be even more excited after receiving Elder Tang's order, even though they were a little worried.
Originally, they wanted to be the first team to carry out this mission, but Elder Tang did not agree. Therefore, they became the backup team and also took care of the mission.
Now that there was no news of Xu Shouwang and the others, they had to be the first team to carry out the mission.
Thinking about the extremely magical secrets in the tower, they could not wait to go in and give it a try.
If it were not for the fact that they could not act on their own without Elder Tang's order, they would not have reported to Elder Tang at all.
However, now that Elder Tang had agreed for them to carry out the mission, they could finally show their skills.
"Now it's finally our turn. I don't know if Xu Shouwang and the others are still alive." Zhao Zhan could not wait to enter the tower.
However, it was almost dawn, so it was impossible for them to enter the tower today. At the very least, they would have to wait until after midnight.
"I hope they are still alive. At least that way, our mission may be much smoother.
If they are all gone, then the risk of us going in will be the same as the risk of them going in. It is even possible that we will follow in their footsteps, "Chao Shi reminded them.
"That's true. If they have already found out the secret inside, we should at least try it out. Otherwise, it is not worth it to come out just like this!" Zhao Zhan thought for a moment and said.
If Xu Shouwang and the others had already found out the secret but could not come out, then they would definitely use the tower to cultivate inside.
If they entered the tower again, in addition to rescuing them, if they already knew the secret inside, they naturally had to use this secret. Otherwise, it would be too much of a loss.
Who knew if they would have a chance to use this secret in the future after bringing it back?
Moreover, according to their thinking, even if they brought the secret back, they might not be able to make a tower that was similar to this one.
More importantly, with their status, even if there was a tower like this, they probably would not have the right to enter and cultivate inside.
Therefore, this was their only and best chance.
As long as it was possible, they had to cultivate inside before coming out. Moreover, this way, they would definitely become more powerful. Wouldn't it be safer for them to carry out their mission?
Naturally, they could not wait to see what was going on.
Although the grand competition during the day was also very exciting, they did not have much time to pay attention to it.
If it were not for the fact that they were afraid of being discovered by the Cheng family, they would not have even been willing to watch the grand competition.
However, for safety's sake, they still followed the others here and there like before.
After waiting for the day's grand competition to end, they enjoyed a sumptuous dinner with everyone. It was not until midnight that they quietly sneaked out of the courtyard.
"I'm so anxious. It feels like this day has been too long!" When the two of them arrived outside the Yunfeng Pagoda, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although they had been running around the various hills of the Cheng family and seemed to be very busy, in reality, they had been absent-minded. They had been thinking about their plan for the night.
Now that midnight was about to end, they were naturally nervous and excited, but at the same time, they were also quite worried.
After all, Xu Shouwang and the others had not come out for a long time. They did not know whether the situation was good or bad.
If Xu Shouwang and the others were still alive, then the situation would definitely be good. If they were already dead, then the situation would be very bad.
Therefore, if the two of them entered the tower now, there was at least a 50% chance that they would be in a very bad situation. As much as they looked forward to the mysterious power of the tower, it did not mean that they were careless people who did not even have the basic awareness of safety.
"When we go in later, the first thing we have to do is to find Xu Shouwang and the others and make sure that they are still alive. As long as they are alive, things will be easy, "Zhao Zhan reminded them.
"I understand, but I am a little worried. What if we find Xu Shouwang and the others but they don't let us cultivate inside? "Chao Shi asked.
"Hmph! They wouldn't dare. We are here to save them. If they don't let us cultivate inside, then we can just let them fend for themselves in there! "Zhao Zhan said coldly.
Although that was what he said, given his relationship with Xu Shouwang, it was possible that this guy would do such a thing.
However, they were going to save them now. If Xu Shouwang and the others did not let them, then they would not save them. Let's see who was more unreasonable!
