Terror Beneath the Earth! Sunrise in the East!

Under the same sun and the same sky, different people might have been thinking of the same thing at this moment—what was inside Leifeng Pagoda?

On the peerlessly lofty summit of Heavenly Mountain stood the cold and unrivaled Number One Tower Under Heaven.

Xiong Ba sat sideways on a broad dragon throne, propping up his head with one hand and resting with his eyes closed as he listened to Wen Chou Chou's report below.

Ever since losing the Cloud of Destiny in his battle against the Black Wind Stronghold Master at Masi Town, he had added another task to his daily routine: listening to intelligence gathered by his forces concerning Black Wind Stronghold and its master. He kept constant watch over the development of that rising junior of the martial world, regarding him as the greatest threat after Unrivaled City.

As he listened to Wen Chou Chou report on the events that had taken place while the Black Wind Stronghold Master, Jiang Dali, had lingered at West Lake in Hangzhou City for several days, Xiong Ba opened his eyes. An untouchable, authoritative gleam flashed within them as he said coldly in a deep voice.

"It seems that Tian Seng and the people of Jingnian Zen Sect and Cihang Jingzhai also know the power of that Buddhist artifact within Leifeng Pagoda. By now, the Black Wind Stronghold Master has likely noticed something as well.

"If the Black Wind Stronghold Master obtains that Buddhist artifact, he will become an even greater threat than Unrivaled City."

Wen Chou Chou felt a chill in his heart, deeply confused and uncertain. He had no idea what could be inside Leifeng Pagoda that even Xiong Ba called formidable. Carefully, he probed, "Alliance Leader, what exactly is this Buddhist artifact within Leifeng Pagoda that you speak of?"
