Chapter 409: The Cockroach Emperor_3

"Ding!"

Ye Yin pressed a mechanism, and the loud chime of a bell echoed nine times, causing a small commotion in the distant corridors.

"The bell has tolled nine times... Has Yue Ying made all the necessary preparations to formally compete with Xinluo for the leadership position?"

"Can he really do it? Although he's protected by the Holy Spirit and has impressive combat abilities, he still hasn't achieved sainthood."

"Xinluo is much older than him and is a descendant of a deceased leader. In both strength and seniority, he holds the advantage. Where does Yue Ying stand a chance?"

Ye Hanjun, having left his secluded retreat, could clearly hear these whispered speculations.

He remained undisturbed and continued to follow Ye Yin to the fifth floor of the castle.

"Beep—"

The Cloud Ladder was fast, arriving in the blink of an eye.

The fifth floor, a thousand meters high, boasted an immense space.

Creatures continued to arrive, among them many demi-humans.
