Chapter 976 An Unexpected Situation (Please Subscribe)_1

The people of Tianyuan City had investigated for several minutes, with most of them converging under a certain tower.

It was a densely crowded scene, much like an anthill, which inevitably made one's scalp tingle...

And indeed, they had not looked in the wrong place. Xu Sheng and Zhou Qingruo were in one of the rooms on this tower, but clearly, no one dared to ascend it themselves...

In an instant, extremely noisy sounds kept emerging...

"It seems that it is here! That terrifying pressure must definitely be emanating from this very tower!"

"I felt it strong before, but now, being so close, my heart feels as though it could suffocate at any moment!"

"I really want to see which great power from Central State has come to our Tianyuan City to breakthrough their cultivation level, damn it!! I so want to go up!"

"Want to go up? Do you wish for death? If discovered by that powerhouse, you may end up with not even bones left! Especially with strong people of this level, their temperaments are even more unpredictable!"

"Shh! Keep quiet, it seems like the Family Heads of the three big clans have arrived! Perhaps they could go up to investigate!"

After these words fell, the Family Heads of the three major clans also arrived at the scene...

The Wei Family Patriarch frowned upon seeing the chaos before him and lifted his gaze upward...

"So, it's here that a breakthrough is being made? This frightening aura makes it impossible to believe that it's someone from our small Tianyuan City!"

The Lin Family and Xu Family Heads seemed much more shrewd...

They hurriedly said, "Quick! Call out the owner of this tower! Ask who it is that's breaking through inside!"

...

Meanwhile, Xu Sheng, who was above in the tower, felt the dense fluctuations of Spirit Force below and couldn't help but take in a breath of cold air...

"Hiss... to attract so many people, this is even more terrifying than I'd imagined! And the Family Heads of the three clans came too!"

He roughly estimated that probably all the cultivators of Tianyuan City had gathered here by now, right?

But he couldn't blame them. Qingruo's strength was too outrageously strong, just absorbing the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Fruit and the Fire Spirit Ganoderma alone, the pressure leaked out had enveloped the entire Tianyuan City!

Thinking this, his dark eyes looked towards Zhou Qingruo, who sat cross-legged on the floor next to him, her delicate cheeks occasionally showing a pained expression...

Clearly, she needed more time to completely absorb the power of these two heavenly treasures!

Then, Xu Sheng shook his head and sighed with a bitter smile, "If only I knew how bothersome this would be, I wouldn't have agreed to it!!"

His strength was now only at the Earth Immortal Realm, and moreover, the Seventh Layer seal inside him hadn't even been broken yet!

If a powerhouse from the Heavenly Immortal Realm were to break in, he might not be able to hold them off!

...

The owner of the tower fearfully looked at the three Family Heads before him and said with a trembling voice, "Th... Three Family Heads, even if you ask me... I know nothing, who would register..."

Before he could finish, the Lin Family Head, with a cold expression, slammed his palm into the man's chest, making him spit blood and fly backward, crashing heavily onto the ground...

Immediately after, he coldly declared, "Useless indeed!"

Seeing this, the Head of the Xu Family reminded him, "Lin Family Head, do not be angry, remember that all the people of Tianyuan City are still watching us! Since this distinguished person dared to breakthrough so openly, they must surely have someone as their protector! We just need to inquire!"

What he did not know at that time was that the disciples of the Xu Family had not died at the claws of Monster Beasts but at the hands of the disciples of the Lin Family.

Mocking them with an eerie tone, the Wei Family Patriarch sneered, "Heh, Head of the Xu Family, Lin Family Head, you speak so lightly. Why don't you go up and negotiate with the protector?"

The Lin Family Head, upon hearing the words, glared fiercely at the speaker with eyes filled with killing intent, "Hmph!"

His Lin Family would sooner or later exterminate both the Wei and Xu families!

In Tianyuan City, only they, the Lin Family, were qualified to dominate!

Seeing that the heads of the three major clans had no intention of entering the attic, the people of Tianyuan City around them began to speculate, "It seems that even the heads of the three major families don't dare to go up."

"Nonsense, who knows what would happen if they were discovered! That is a powerhouse who can envelop the entire Tianyuan City with mere intimidation, at least one of the strongest in Central State!"

"Exactly, exactly. These three family heads might dominate Tianyuan City, but under the hands of such a powerhouse, they are mere ants that can be torn to shreds with a flick of the wrist!"

"Cough cough! Do you not want to live anymore? Haven't you seen that all three family heads have heard you?"

Finally, under these clamorous voices, a man who had reached the Fifth Level of the Earth Immortal Realm clenched his teeth and shouted loudly, "I don't care anymore! I'm going to take a look!"

If he were fortunate enough to gain the favor of the person in the attic, no, even if he were just rewarded with a single Martial Technique or treasure, that would be enough for him to make a comeback!

As soon as he said this, he immediately attracted the attention of most of the people of Tianyuan City, who looked at him with skeptical eyes…

This caused his pressure to surge instantly, and after taking a deep breath, he suppressed the fear in his heart as much as possible and walked towards the attic...

The three silently observing family heads didn't speak up to stop him; they, too, wanted to see what would happen.

If this guy were to be killed, they planned to continue waiting here, but if…

Yet, in the eyes of the other people of Tianyuan City, this Fifth Level Earth Immortal Realm man was simply courting death!

They jeered, "I bet this guy will turn into a corpse within five seconds of entering the attic!"

"I have never seen anyone seek death like this. Even the Ninth Layer of the Heavenly Immortal Realm family heads of the three major families don't dare to just walk up there, so what's this Fifth Level Earth Immortal Realm guy doing making a fuss!"

"Exactly! He must be out of his mind. If he causes trouble for that person, none of us will live to tell the tale!"

"Hiss... I'm glad I wasn't impulsive, otherwise I would have been killed by that powerhouse in a fit of rage!"

…

After the Earth Immortal Realm Fifth Level man reached the top of the attic and felt the horrifying pressure emanating from the room ahead...

His body trembled even more, and he thought to himself in a whisper, "Is... is this the place?"

Then, he cautiously spoke up, "Great... Great person?"

Before he could finish speaking, the entire space was filled with the piercing sound of a sword's hum...

"Buzz buzz buzz buzz!!"

The pupils of this Earth Immortal Realm disciple shrank, and while he tried to react quickly, he found that in his trembling state, there was no way to dodge...

With a "thwack," a sharp Sword Qi instantly swept across his neck, splattering crimson blood...

But it did not claim his life...

The man quickly covered his injured neck and hastily stumbled back a few steps...

Then, when he looked up again, his gaze was filled with absolute terror as he looked towards Xu Sheng, who was radiating a terrifying chill...
