The Stir Caused by News of the Nine-Story Tower
"Just don't look at it, why bother?"
Di Yuanfang shook his head, with a hint of amusement:
"We can only listen to such important matters. Last time, the story of Zither Sound Valley was all over the place, and what happened in the end?"
"Of those who went, how many actually made it into the inner areas? And even those who did, we've heard that some of them received benefits?"
Those around him were slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and one of them couldn't help but speak up:
"That's quite a blow."
Di Yuanfang glanced at the other party and said:
"Forget about it. Besides, judging from the conditions they've proposed this time, I doubt it. Do you really expect those who have stolen the spotlight to suddenly become kind-hearted?"
In another part of the city.
"I think this claim is a bit far-fetched. Maybe it's just some fake news made up by some people or some cities. The Saint King? That's too outrageous. If it really existed, would the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty be willing to leave it in the secret realm?" someone said, with a hint of doubt on their face.
Upon hearing this, a bystander said:
"I have indeed heard that some people in the city are busy with this matter. It is said that some Champa people have already begun to distribute light to the people in the city, but I don't know if it's true or not."
"I think it's unlikely," the predecessor gently shook his head:
"However, it's possible, but the Nine-Story Tower theory is still far-fetched. It's more likely that these cities are too influenced by the Eighteen City Clothes-Stripping Gang, and if they don't do something, everyone will run away. That's why they came up with this theory to avoid losing face."
"His analysis sounds quite plausible; it makes sense now."
In another part of the city.
"These kinds of rumors always get more and more exaggerated as they spread, and it's not an easy task to verify them. Brother Zhu, should we get involved or not?"
What is your opinion on this matter?
"I think it's best not to trust these people in the city. If we share our light with them, they might betray us in the end, and we'll have gained nothing. We might even end up benefiting someone else."
Brother Zhu nodded slightly. "Your concerns are indeed worth considering. However, it depends on what those cities occupied by the transcendent forces do. If they do, then we can follow up."
After a pause, Brother Zhu added:
"Of course, our situation is still incomparable to that of the transcendent forces. However, we can refrain from collecting the 'Light Debts' from these people in the city for a while, letting them accumulate more and then share it with us. It's the same as collecting them back when we need them later."
Within the city occupied by Dai Tianfeng.
"In the cities occupied by the Extreme Arms Holy Land, half have already begun distributing light. Several of the Seven Heroes have also led their respective groups out to explore; according to reports, they are searching for the Nine-Story Tower."
"Over at the Star Moon Holy Land, the city occupied by Xu Hao followed suit after the Extreme Arms Holy Land made its move, and most of the people in the city went out to search. As for the Holy Son Dai Tianfeng, since he had previously been caught up in the Eighteen City Clothes-Stripping Gang, there was no spotlight to be found, but there was still a clear search momentum."
"Over at the Cloud Heaven Holy Land..."
The visitor summarized the current situation of the various cities, but before he could finish speaking, Dai Tianfeng raised his hand to interrupt him:
"They've gone out to explore; it seems they intend to find a way in before the Nine-Story Tower appears."
As he spoke, Dai Tianfeng shook his head:
"The secret realm is so vast; such an action is no different from searching for a needle in a haystack."
Of course, saying it doesn't mean we won't do it.
What has the Buddhist Order done about this?
Dai Tianfeng then asked a different question.
The other party was silent for a moment, then said:
"In the cities occupied by the Buddhist Order, the statues of Wujie) that once stood there all collapsed at the same time, indicating that something must have happened. Furthermore, there was varying degrees of unrest in all of these cities."
"It's collapsed?" Dai Tianfeng was somewhat surprised.
Have you found the cause?
"The investigation is ongoing, and the cause has not yet been found."
Dai Tianfeng nodded, but a cold smile appeared on his lips.
It seems these hypocritical Buddhist Order monks have run into trouble.
After inquiring about other related matters and information, Dai Tianfeng then made the necessary arrangements.
The Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty had a numerical advantage in distributing light to the people in the city, so there was no need to worry about the possibility of the distributed light not being taken back, since they were all people of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty.
In addition, there was a large-scale, meticulous search, primarily looking for anything related to the Nine-Story Tower, and secondly, searching for the person from the Zither Sound Valley.
After arranging these matters, Dai Tianfeng summoned his men and then left the city.
On this day, despite differing opinions on the news of the Nine-Story Tower.
However, the overall trend is very clear.
Search.
Although the secret realm has been open for quite some time, many places have been visited by people.
But this time, it was unusually meticulous.
For no other reason than that if they could find the Nine-Story Tower, they would be even more fortunate to enter it ahead of time and take all the benefits inside.
With such temptation right in front of you, how can anyone resist?
Correspondingly, as some actions of the transcendent forces became known to all parties, some cities that originally wanted to plunder the light possessed by everyone have now begun to radiate light downwards.
Although the conditions are rather harsh, such as getting five and getting six back, losing double, and having to find your way home once you escape the secret realm, etc.
But it can also be seen as progress to some extent.
Other cities announced that for the foreseeable future, everyone within the city could keep the light they received, and would not take a single drop until the Nine-Story Tower appeared.
This move successfully mobilized the enthusiasm of a large number of people.
For a time, everyone was very interested in the Nine-Story Tower.
People are excited, people are expectant, people can't wait.
On the other hand, the Beast Race suffered a terrible fate.
Under the meticulous and frenzied sweeping efforts of the mob, the number of Beast Race, especially demonic beasts, began to decline rapidly.
After another day, the crowds that had gathered in the Eighteen City had reached an exaggerated level.
To put it another way, if you don't fly, you see a crowd and enter it.
Walk and walk, walk and walk.
After walking for half a day, I looked up and saw...
Hmm, we're still a long way from the city gate.
It must be said that when the number of people reaches a certain level, doing just one thing can produce an amazing effect.
For example, after yesterday's addition of Beast Race egg exchange rewards.
When Gu Chen placed the eggs he had collected that day on the open ground and let Luo Ling'er choose for herself.
The eight eggs stored in the storage rings piled up like a small mountain when released, startling even Lu Changzhi, who was observing the scene.
These eggs varied in size, ranging from the size of two heads to the size of half a fingernail. The shapes of the eggshells were also diverse, some were clean and white, some were colorful, and some were stained with blood.
Besides the regular laid eggs, there were also some that were clearly cut off.
"That's good, it also allows us to stock up on food for the sect leader and Peak Master Xu."
Lu Changzhi shook his head slightly, a playful smile on his face.
If this thing were made into Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves Egg, would it make one's enlightenment grow stronger with each bite?
Pulling himself back to reality, Lu Changzhi's gaze fell on Luo Ling'er, who had begun selecting eggs. He nodded slightly, his face showing anticipation.
"Looks like we won't have to wait until tomorrow morning; we can have Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves Egg tonight."
