Chapter 255: The Mysterious Master Was Actually Her!
The 81st floor was in shambles. Bi Ningshuai was extremely fast with his hands. Every single page from two bookshelves had been turned by him once.
Meanwhile, only Feng Feiyun’s Heavenly Phoenix Gaze could detect the Cloak of Invisibility. He darted through the level, nothing could escape his eyes.
“This calligraphy scroll…” Feng Feiyun stood before a one-thousand-year-old scroll that was hung on a wall, consisting of many long bamboo strips. It was carved with an aggressive bronze pen yet still maintained an elegant style.
The text written so long ago still had a strange light flowing through them. It created twisting runes that came together to form a wondrous formation.
Feng Feiyun said: “There is something strange about this scroll. There are no strings connecting these bamboo slips, but they are still connected and arranged in such an orderly fashion. Something is up here!”
Bi Ningshuai’s bandit eyes also recognized the peculiar characteristic of this scroll and reached out in order to take it.
“Boom!” The moment his hand approached, the runes on the scroll began to rapidly float up and down to form an ancient formation that shot out a white light to repel his hand.
The skin on his fingers was charred. His bones almost cracked as blood spilled out, letting him experience agonizing pain.
“Motherfucker!” Bi Ningshuai didn’t give up. He took out a treasure that resembled an ancient gem in order to break this formation. However, the moment it made contact, the gem was turned into dust that drifted onto the ground.
“My turn!” Four layers of light coiled around Feng Feiyun’s arm completely. Black, red, green, and white — these layers forcefully approached the bamboo scroll. His fingers managed to slowly penetrate the barrier of the scroll.
He used his fingers as a pen to reverse the pattern engraved on the scroll so that he could change the system.
“Boom!” Three lines of blood erupted from his arm due to the power of the bamboo scroll. However, the ancient runes were successfully changed. The formation began to reverse while the scroll issued crackling sounds.
The power of the formation suddenly impacted the bamboo scroll instead!
“Bang!” One of the bamboo slips was shattered and turned into a green smoke.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!” The rest of them shattered as well after being struck by its own formation.
Bi Ningshuai was astonished. He thought that he had a profound understanding regarding formations, but Feng Feiyun was even better than him. Feng Feiyun unexpectedly reversed the formation and used it against itself, so Bi Ningshuai had no choice but to admire the guy.
The formation fell and turned into a green smoke as well.
Feng Feiyun’s eyes lit up as he wore an ecstatic expression. He reached out into the green smoke as if he was holding something.
“It’s the Cloak of Invisibility. It was actually hiding in a bamboo scroll. No, I get it now, it wasn’t that there were no strings keeping the scroll together, the cloak itself was doing the job. It was just that we couldn’t see it. Feng Feiyun, goddamn, you must be a genius. How did you figure it out?” Bi Ningshuai became very excited. Even though he couldn’t see what Feng Feiyun was holding, he was sure that it was the cloak.
Feng Feiyun naturally wouldn’t tell him that only the phoenix gaze could see the invisible silk from these worms and that he just so happened to cultivate it. This would be a secret that he wouldn’t tell anyone since he wanted to use it to deal with the mysterious master!
“Hand the cloak over to me!” The master turned into a cloud of fire. A hand reached out from it and tried to take it from Feng Feiyun.
Feng Feiyun tried to resist once or twice for show before stopping. He secretly laughed it up in his mind: ‘The cloak is nothing to me. As long as you dare to wear it in front of me, I will know you who are right away!’
This master could even kill a Giant with the cloak, but they wouldn’t be able to fool Feng Feiyun’s eyes. By handing this cloak over, it would make the master more prone to mistakes from carelessness.
The master was ecstatic after taking the cloak and didn’t want to stay at the tower any longer. The cloud turned into a divine wisp of fire that directly broke through the door of the 81st floor before flying off towards the edge of the sky.
“How bold, you dare to try and escape after stealing the Cloak of Invisibility?!”
“After them!”

The five great experts from the tower gave chase right away. They turned into five rays of light and soared through the sky like shooting stars.
In just a split second, the treasure tower turned very quiet. Many people chased after the mysterious master to reclaim their defining treasure.
“We have to run too!” Feng Feiyun carved out a lotus formation. While standing on top of it, the runes in the tower couldn’t do anything to him. It was as if he was riding a little boat on a fast-flowing river.
“Fuck, wait for me!” Bi Ningshuai took out an iron disk the size of a sesame cake and stood on it with one foot. His body began to stagger as the disk started moving just like the lotus formation. They hovered above the runes.
Even though the top experts all chased after the mysterious master, some of the young disciples noticed Feng Feiyun and Bi Ningshuai. Several of them worked together to unleash a five qilins attack.
“Boom!” Feng Feiyun had to be cruel. He unleashed a palm attack that crushed the five qilins and blew the disciples away. They slammed into the wall and lost their lives instantly.
