Chapter 661: Newcomers
Nie Tian felt more relieved now that Zhao Shanling had made some discoveries. He continued to observe the Bliss Mountain Sect disciples from afar and wait in silence.
When they had first come to this location, there had been dozens of Bliss Mountain Sect juniors gathered by the pagoda, aside from the five elders.
But now, there were no more than ten juniors left.
All of their previous attempts to enter the bright-silver nine-story pagoda had failed.
Fear could be seen on the remaining juniors’ faces as they glanced uneasily at the corpses of their friends that were scattered in front of the pagoda’s gate.
At this moment, Nie Tian suddenly discovered that the five elders seemed to have come to a good solution to their problem from their discussion.
They beckoned for three juniors to go make another attempt to enter the pagoda.
The three appointed juniors’ expressions flickered drastically in fear.
One of the elders’ faces suddenly grew icy as a glowing purple sphere appeared in his palm.
The numerous green sparks within the glowing sphere rapidly realigned to a formation that resembled the way the juniors were standing.
The elder pointed his finger at the glowing purple sphere, and one of the green sparks exploded and vanished.
The junior, who was waving his hands in the air, face filled with horror, shuddered.
In the next moment, his eyes lost all of their radiance, as if his soul was suddenly snuffed out. He collapsed to the ground without making a sound and didn’t get back up again.
All of the other Bliss Mountain Sect juniors’ expression flickered as they saw this. None of them dared to say anything, desperation and fear filling their eyes.
The elder’s expression didn’t change in the slightest as he pointed at another junior and said something.
Afterwards, three juniors charged towards the pagoda gate at full speed. Two of them in the front split up after coming close to the gate, hoping to get through the gaps between the spatial blades.
POOH! POOH!
The ethereal spatial blades flashed lightly across them, and they were both cut to pieces that fell to the ground.
The third junior took the opportunity to approach the pagoda gate as the spatial blades all split to the sides.
However, a spatial blade appeared out of nowhere and came whooshing down from the air. The man was cut in half from head to toe.
While these juniors made this attempt, the five elders didn’t just stand there and watch. They also tried their best to stall the spatial blades and buy some time for the juniors with the unknown tools in their hands.
However, once again, they failed.
Three dismembered corpses were added to the ground in front of the pagoda gate. The five elders exchanged a glance. Not only did they not seem frustrated, but they even seemed overjoyed, as if they had proved their theory.
As they entered another exclusive discussion, the juniors looked very sullen and pale, looking at their friends’ mangled bodies.
Zhao Shanling also noticed what had happened. With an expressionless face, he said, “The Bliss Mountain Sect raised those juniors for one specific purpose: to obtain Master Voidspirit’s legacies. From the look of it, they weren’t taught the Bliss Mountain Sect’s core incantations.
“In the eyes of their elders, those juniors are simple some disposable assets. As far as I see it, they won’t get to live whether they can secure Master Voidspirit’s legacies or not.
“They’ll probably be sent to their graves one after another in attempts to obtain Master Voidspirit’s legacies. Even if they somehow manage to secure Master Voidspirit’s legacies, they’ll lose their value afterwards, and the Bliss Mountain Sect will probably kill them to prevent future troubles.
“The Bliss Mountain Sect hasn’t even considered them as their actual disciples.”
After observing for some time, Nie Tian also gradually realized what was going on.
With that purple glowing sphere, those elders could annihilate all of the juniors with a flick of their finger.
The juniors were being used as objects to test their theories about methods to enter the pagoda.
No matter how many juniors died, those elders’ faces remained as calm as the water in a silent well.
Perhaps all of those juniors were already dead in the elders’ eyes.
Nie Tian sighed. “It’s so pathetic that all those young lives are being sent to their graves.”
“That has nothing to do with us,” Zhao Shanling said, his face expressionless. “Let’s wait a bit longer. We can go over there and take over when they find the method to enter the pagoda or decide to give up. Master Voidspirit’s legacies aren’t that easy to get. The Bliss Mountain Sect has prepared for a century and sent seven exploration teams in here, but they’re still stopped at that gate, aren’t they?”
