The Tenth Level!
After circling nine times high in the sky, Jiuyun said to Lin Bai, "Hero, the Eighth Gate lies ahead. This is one of the entrances controlled by your human martial artists. I'm from the Demon Race, so I can't enter from here."
The Heavenly Pearl Tomb had eighteen gates in total, with humans and martial artists controlling nine each.
As a member of the Demon Race, if Jiuyun appeared at the Eighth Gate controlled by martial artists, he would definitely be cut down on the spot.
"All right, I understand."
"Since you've already brought me to the Heavenly Pearl Tomb, I'll honor my earlier promise and won't hurt you. You may leave."
Lin Bai leaped down from the vulture and landed on the ground. Without looking back, he walked toward the Eighth Gate.
Watching Lin Bai leave, Jiuyun's pupils were filled with deep shock. "This man is truly ruthless. Although I had selfish motives during the past half month and brought him to slaughter many demons who had grudges against me, his peerless swordsmanship is astonishing. Not a single one of those demons survived his sword!"
"Moreover, he's only at the seventh level of the Earth Core Realm, yet he can already kill martial artists at the ninth level of the Earth Core Realm!"
"Truly astonishing!"
Jiuyun watched Lin Bai's back before turning and flying toward the Thirteenth Gate. This was a city gate controlled by the Demon Race. Jiuyun charged through the Thirteenth Gate and entered the Heavenly Pearl Tomb!
The Heavenly Pearl Tomb had eighteen stone gates. The first nine were controlled by martial artists, while the latter nine were controlled by the Demon Race.
Though these city gates looked simple, they had been piled up with the blood of martial artists over countless years.
