Outside the Nine Spirits Pagoda, everyone was still waiting anxiously.
"It's been so long, why haven't Ye Xiyue and Jingchuan come out yet?"
"And there has been no movement on the fifth floor. I really don't know what is going on inside..."
"What's going to happen to them?"
"Shh! Didn't you see that Elder Xuanhai and the others are waiting over there? Both Ye Xiyue and Jingchuan are rare geniuses. If they really fall like this, how can they be willing to let it go? You know, they will never do it.
Sit back and ignore it!"
"That's true, but how dangerous the Nine Spirit Pagoda is. Everyone has seen it before. Even Elder Mu Lingzhi and the others can't do anything about it. Even if an accident does happen, I'm afraid..."
Everyone was talking a lot.
Qiao Qiaoqing hung in the air and heard these words clearly.
He frowned, his eyes fixed on the Nine Spirit Pagoda, and his heart gradually became anxious.
Unlike others, he didn't care about the life or death of Ye Xiyue and Jingchuan. What he cared about more was the beast suppressed in Jiuling Pagoda!
It was so powerful just now that it rushed all the way to the fifth floor. Why did it suddenly stop moving?
You know, once it reaches the top, it will be completely free from the shackles of this seal.
Such a great opportunity cannot be given up halfway.
So, what is it doing now?
And the other day I asked the sword...
Qiao Qiaoqing tried to break into it again, but he still couldn't get the point. He kept trying in vain on the outside, which only made him furious.
...
Elder Ye Qing looked over here inadvertently, feeling a little strange, and whispered:
"It's really strange. Xi'er and Jingchuan have no reason to do anything with him. Why is he in such a hurry to go in?"
Elder Xuanhai was originally focused on the Jiuling Pagoda. He was afraid that something would happen to his disciple, so he was nervous and waiting to save people at any time.
Hearing Elder Ye Qing's words, he subconsciously glanced over there and frowned.
There is indeed something wrong with Qiao Qiaoqing's reaction...
At the same time, Elder Lu Xuan also noticed something. They looked at each other and saw the same guess in each other's eyes.
Could it be that the one who broke into the Nine Spirits Pagoda before was Qiao Qiaoqing!?
Thinking about it carefully, Qiao Qiaoqing did arrive a little late just now, as if he did it on purpose, pretending that he had just arrived.
Although he said that he came late because of his cultivation, in fact, with his current state, he did not need to be like this.
Weren't the fellow Spiritual Emperors, Elder Mo Sang and others also arriving early in the morning?
No one is like Qiao Qiaoqing...
However, these are just speculations for the time being. There is no definite evidence and it is hard for anyone to say anything.
Elder Lu Xuan winked at Elder Mu Lingzhi.
Elder Mu Lingzhi nodded calmly.
"I'll keep an eye on him."
...
Time passes slowly.
Gradually, everyone discovered that the energies of heaven and earth that were entrenched around the Nine Spirit Pagoda and were fighting each other like crazy had actually calmed down little by little.
It was as if there was an invisible big hand suppressing all the waves.
The pressure placed on the elders finally dissipated.
Many people looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what was happening.
From the outside, Jiuling Pagoda seems to have returned to its previous calm state.
"What's going on here?"
Countless people have doubts in their hearts.
But this change did not make Elder Lu Xuan's expression relaxed.
He always felt that something was wrong...
At this moment, the light on the fifth floor of the Nine Spirit Pagoda suddenly disappeared!
