The tenth floor of the Yunfeng Pagoda.
Xu Shouwang and the others returned to the tenth floor after failing to find any traps for cultivation.
To them, the tenth floor was neither too high nor too low. If there were enemies below, they could escape up. If there were enemies above, they could escape down.
That was why they had been staying on this floor for the past few days.
Every floor was the same anyway. There was no difference even if they only looked for clues on this floor.
During the day, there was plenty of light, so they would look for clues in the tower. At night, they would rest on their own.
That night, everyone was resting.
Suddenly, everyone opened their eyes at the same time. Their eyes were filled with panic.
"Did you hear that?" Yin Tianzong asked softly.
"There seems to be someone down there!" Song Quan replied.
"Did we hear it wrong?" Guo Feiyu asked.
"Did everyone hear it just now?" Xu Shouwang asked.
"Indeed!" Guo Feiyu nodded.
"Then there should be no mistake. There was a sound coming from down there!" Xu Shouwang confirmed.
"Could it be the Cheng family coming in to capture us?" Song Quan asked worriedly.
"It's not impossible. We have to be prepared. If it doesn't work, we can only kill them! "Xu Shouwang quickly stood up and said.
"Why don't we go upstairs and avoid them for now? At least we have to understand the other party's situation first. If they have a lot of people and we fight with them rashly, it might be disadvantageous to us!" Yin Tianzong reminded.
"Alright, let's go upstairs first. I want to see what kind of people the Cheng family has sent to deal with us!" Xu Shouwang nodded and went to the eleventh floor.
However, they did not run to the eleventh floor to hide. Instead, they carefully hid at the staircase of the eleventh floor and observed the situation on the tenth floor very carefully.
The staircases in this pagoda were not all connected. The entrances to each floor were in the rooms on this floor.
Therefore, if one wanted to go up to the next floor, one had to enter the room on this floor. Then, after going up the stairs, one would arrive outside the room on the next floor. Going up from there.
Therefore, Xu Shouwang and the others were now at the staircase exit outside the room on the eleventh floor. They were watching the door of the room on the tenth floor to see who would enter the tenth floor.
There were only four of them in total, even though Xu Shouwang sounded very domineering and confident.
But in fact, when he was observing the situation on the tenth floor, he was still very worried.
They were afraid that those who came in would be the experts of the Cheng Family, and there would be a lot of them. If that was the case, it would be difficult for them to deal with them.
Although they could continue to escape upstairs, this was just a tower after all. There would come a time when they reached the top.
If they were forced to the top of the tower, they would also have no way out.
Bang, bang, bang!
Everyone's heart was beating very fast. They stared closely at the room on the tenth floor to see who would come in.
Creak!
There was a soft sound of the door opening, and then two figures quietly entered the room.
"There are only two of them!" Xu Shouwang and the other three were pleasantly surprised.
This situation was far better than they had imagined. Putting aside the strength of these two people, at least in terms of numbers, the other party did not have the advantage.
Even if the two of them were very strong, it would be easier for the four of them to escape.
"It seems that the Cheng Family does not take us seriously. They only sent two people!" Song Quan was also very happy.
The more the Cheng Family looked down on them, the better. In this way, they would not be in any danger today.
"These two people might not be here to deal with us. At least we are not sure if the Cheng Family already knows that we are in the tower." Yin Tianzong looked at the two sneaky people and said.
"If they are not sent by the Cheng Family, could it be that they are also here to find the secret?" Guo Feiyu said.
"Other than us, I am afraid there are not many people who would have the guts to do so." Xu Shouwang said.
"Maybe they are not outsiders, but disciples of the Cheng Family?" Guo Feiyu said.
"It is not impossible. If they are really disciples of the Cheng Family, they might know how to activate the mechanism here. Let's keep a close eye on them!" Xu Shouwang's eyes suddenly lit up as he thought of a possibility.
They had been searching here for so long, but they could not figure out how to activate the cultivation mechanism here.
If there were disciples of the Cheng Family who came here to cultivate, then this problem would naturally be solved. This was naturally a good thing.
"But they don't look like they know about the formation mechanism here. It seems like they are similar to us, looking for the mechanism everywhere."
Very soon, they realized that the two figures did not directly cultivate here as they had imagined. Instead, the situation was the same as when they first entered the tower. They seemed to be looking for something.
Seeing this situation, Xu Shouwang and the other three people immediately became very disappointed.
"Seems like they are not disciples of the Cheng Family. There are really people who dare to come here?" Yin Tianzong said with some surprise.
If it was not because of their special identity, they would not have taken such a big risk to barge in here.
But they did not expect that there would be others who dared to come here. Their courage was really commendable.
"Although the Cheng Family has kept this secret very tightly, there is no such thing as an impenetrable wall in the world. So naturally, we are not the only ones who know this secret.
These two people probably also know that there is a mysterious power in this tower. That's why they are willing to take such a big risk to barge in here! "Xu Shouwang thought about it and analyzed.
"It's a pity that they are not disciples of the Cheng Family. In this case, we still have no way of knowing where the formation mechanism is!" Song Quan shook his head and said helplessly.
Originally, they had hoped that these two people were disciples of the Cheng Family who secretly came here to cultivate. If that was the case, they might even have violated the rules of the Cheng Family.
Under such circumstances, if they could take down these two people, they would definitely obediently reveal the secret of the mechanism.
Moreover, even if they did not take down these two people, as long as they saw how they activated the formation mechanism here, it would be enough.
Unfortunately, the heavens did not help them. In the end, these two people were also dabblers. They only knew that there was a secret here, but they did not know how the secret was revealed.
"Since they are not from the Cheng Family, should we kill them? Just like Tao Wensheng and the rest, we can use Manager Yin's Corpse Transformation to melt them. "Guo Feiyu suggested.
"No! That's not appropriate. We do not know how strong they are now. If we act rashly, not only will we be at a disadvantage, but at the same time, it will be easy for the Cheng Family to discover that there are people in the tower. Instead, we will be exposing ourselves. "Yin Tianzong immediately objected.
"Manager Yin is right. The reason why Tao Wensheng and the rest were so easy to deal with was because they had expended too much energy to dissolve the formation and were already very weak.
In addition, their strength is not as good as ours. Under our surprise attack, they naturally have no way of resisting.
However, we cannot see through the strength of these two people. Perhaps their strength is not weaker than ours.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have the guts to barge in here. If we fight with them, we will definitely cause a big commotion. When that time comes, we will only be at a disadvantage. " Xu Shouwang thought about it and felt that Yin Tianzong's considerations were more thorough. They could not act rashly on this matter.
"If that's the case, then we can only hide from them!" Guo Feiyu thought about it and it seemed to make sense.
"Those who came here are not necessarily enemies. Maybe they know more than us. What if they can find the mechanism of the formation? Let's take a look in the dark first. If they really have a way to open the cultivation mechanism here, then wouldn't we know how to do it too? "Yin Tianzong continued.
"That's right. Let's see what they are up to first. If they really know how to open the mechanism, we will also benefit from it." Xu Shouwang nodded and said.
"They are coming up. Let's hurry up and go upstairs!" However, the two people downstairs searched around the room and seemed to not find anything. Hence, they began to head to the staircase.
The four of them hurriedly entered the room and then went upstairs to the staircase of the twelfth floor.
However, the two people downstairs also did not find anything on every floor. Hence, they continued to go up floor by floor. Xu Shouwang and the other three people could only continue to escape.
In the end, the people upstairs kept avoiding them while the two people downstairs kept searching.
"Did you hear anything?" When the two people downstairs were preparing to go up to the fifteenth floor, Zhao Zhan suddenly asked softly.
"I also want to say that I keep feeling that there seems to be some sound upstairs? But I'm not sure! "Chao Shi said.
"Could it be the masters of the Cheng Family?" Chao Shi said with some worry.
"I don't know, but it's not impossible. We'd better be careful!" Zhao Zhan said cautiously.
Although he was not sure if there was really someone upstairs, he was still very nervous and worried in such an environment.
"Do you think it could be Xu Shouwang and the others upstairs?" Chao Shi thought about it and said.
"That's impossible, right? If they see us, they should take the initiative to come out! "Zhao Zhan said.
"I'm afraid that they don't know it's us. It's dark here. If they see someone downstairs, I'm afraid they will be scared and hide!" Chao Shi said.
"Then what should we do? We haven't confirmed that the people upstairs are really them. We can't call them out. What if they aren't? Then wouldn't we be in trouble? "Zhao Zhan was still more cautious.
"That's true. Maybe there isn't anyone upstairs!"
