Chapter 971: Thunder Tower (1/2)

Chapter 971: Thunder Tower

On the next day, the sun slowly rose. No matter the time, the Holy City remained unchanging. It was still ancient and solemn as well as full of mysteries.

Many people were waiting eagerly for what was to come. All eyes were on Chi Zixian and Li Qiye since they wanted to see how this storm would end.

Of course, the majority of them thought that Li Qiye was courting death for provoking the Crimson Night Kingdom. They only wanted to see how he would die, that’s all.

There were some humans who hoped that Li Qiye would be able to put up a fight to deter the Blood Race’s ego. Recently, Heavenguard didn’t come out while the Mysterious Bamboo Mountain maintained a low profile. This made the Blood Race’s momentum rise while the strongest race in the southern region, the humans, was pressured!

Of course, Chi Zixian didn’t return Si Yuanyuan this morning, and she didn’t prostrate before Li Qiye’s door for forgiveness either.

As a result, Li Qiye personally took a trip to the Thunder Tower with Ye Chuyun right behind him.

He already became the focal point the moment he left the mansion. Many young male cultivators were very annoyed to see Ye Chuyun obediently following behind him.

“Pah! A flower stuck in cow dung. I wonder what a master like Schoolmaster Ye sees in this human junior?” Those who adored Ye Chuyun were especially unhappy.

In their eyes, Li Qiye was simply not worthy of her. He had no background and wasn’t handsome either. His strength was most likely lacking as well.

“Haha, just let him be for the moment. It won’t last for long. Even Schoolmaster Ye won’t be able to keep him from dying.” Someone sneered and prayed for Li Qiye to die to Chi Zixian’s group.

The Crimson Night Kingdom’s branch was built in the best location inside the city. The Thunder Tower was at the center of this area and made the lineage seem like a small castle.

This tower soared high into the sky. It was one of the tallest structures in the city! It could be seen from afar and was made from unknown materials. It was suffused with an ancient color.

One could faintly see streaks of lightning flash on top of the tower. It came and went as if the tower was the center of the storm!

Legends state that the tower used to be the dwelling of a thunder G.o.d. Another said that it connected a thunder vein from underground to the sky…

Regardless of its origin, its preciousness was on par with Tiger Hill and the Dragon Platform. Immortal Emperor Chi Ye paid a sky-high price to an ancient clan for this tower back then.

After many generations of business, the Crimson Night Kingdom established this vast branch in the city. Since then, it continued to expand nonstop.

In a city where land was worth as much as gold, the territory Crimson Night commanded was more than enough to show the kingdom’s power…

“Clank—” When Li Qiye made it to the branch, the two steel doors slowly opened. The guards of the kingdom didn’t stop Li Qiye and simply let him inside.

“The confrontation is about to happen.” Many cultivators entered the branch to watch the fun. There were also those who remained at a safe distance to avoid any trouble.

There was a martial plaza inside the branch. The left and right were both full of Crimson Night experts. They let their blood energies run free to intimidate people! Experts from the other Blood tribes and sects were there as well. Young geniuses such as Chi Tianyu were also present. Without a doubt, Chi Zixian invited many of them to watch this trial.

The group that followed Li Qiye inside took a deep breath after seeing so many big shots from the Blood Race. It seemed like Chi Zixian was going all out this time.

Everyone knew that such a trial should be done in a more discreet manner. However, Chi Zixian called for so many people. This made everyone feel that something was amiss.

Someone made a good guess and murmured: “It looks like Chi Zixian wants to be the royal lord of Crimson Night. She wants to establish her unquestionable authority right now.”

Li Qiye looked around and finally saw Si Yuanyuan. She was on the side and locked with shackles like a criminal.
