Chapter 96: Reaching the Fourth Floor, the Key Lies in You, Mr. Zhang

"So, the person who was assassinated was actually your sister, Miss Nanxing?"

After listening to Gongshu Nanxing's complete account of the assassination, both Zhang Lao and Xu Taiping were relieved.

Gongshu Nanxing nodded weakly.

"We are twin sisters. It is difficult for outsiders to tell except our parents. My sister knew this and deliberately exposed her position to lure the demon out. By the time I knew it, it was too late."

She said with a tone full of self-blame.

For a while, Zhang Lao and Xu Taiping were silent.

They didn't know how to comfort Gongshu Nanxing.

"Nanxing girl, don't be too sad. The souls of the Xuanhuang Tower monks who died at the hands of the monsters will be collected in the Xuanhuang Tower. They will spend a happy time in the tower first, and then reincarnate."

Zhang Lao gently patted Gongshu Nanxing on the shoulder and comforted her in a very gentle tone.

Xu Taiping had just learned some of what Zhang Lao said from the information sent by Ye Chensha a few days ago.

For example, they are going to the fourth floor of Xuanhuang Tower. In the country called Ningyuan in the tower, almost all the people are the souls of the people who died in Xuanhuang Tower.

According to some intelligence reports, this may be an act of compassion instinctively made by the divine consciousness left in the tower by Emperor Xuanhuang after sensing the suffering of the people in Xuanhuang Heaven.

Of course, this statement is just a guess.

After all, Xuanhuang Tower cannot interfere in the affairs of Xuanhuang Heaven and the human world. This is the iron rule set by Emperor Xuanhuang.

"Moreover, as long as what you and I do can be accomplished, there will be tens of thousands or even millions of innocent people who will die less in Xuanhuang Heaven."

Old Zhang continued with a little excitement.

Hearing this, the confusion in Gongshu Nanxing's eyes was swept away.

"Old Zhang, you are right."

She took a deep breath, nodded, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and her eyes became firm again.

"Young Master Xiushi, Jiuyuan is willing to expose the demons lurking in the major cities in one go, and also want to eliminate the nine of us who helped you climb the tower, which means that they really regard you as a threat."

"If nothing unexpected happens, when we enter the fourth floor of the Xuanhuang Tower, we will be immediately surrounded and suppressed by these demon cultivators."

Nanxing suddenly looked at Xu Taiping with a serious face.

"Young Master, I just wanted to remind you of this."

Old Zhang also nodded in agreement at this time.

"Old Zhang, Miss Nanxing, how much do you know about the movements of the Demon Abyss?"

Xu Taiping asked the two of them in return.

Although he had obtained a lot of information from Ye Chensha, it was all Ye Chensha's family's words. Now that Old Zhang and Nanxing were here, he could just verify one or two with the two of them.

"We have just gotten rid of the siege in Qianji City, and we are not yet able to find out the situation in Jiuyuan."

Nanxing shook his head helplessly.

"I have found out some things here, but I can't guarantee whether the information is accurate..."

Old Zhang hesitated.

"Mr. Zhang, please go ahead."

Xu Taiping looked at Mr. Zhang very seriously.

Hearing this, Mr. Zhang no longer hesitated and said directly:

"A friend of mine in the army sent me a message a few days ago, saying that the newly promoted Demon Lord Tian Xing of the Demon Abyss had successfully ascended to the third floor of the Xuanhuang Tower half a month ago. If nothing unexpected happens, he will besiege you, Mr. Xiushi, on the fourth floor of the Xuanhuang Tower."

Hearing this, Xu Taiping nodded slightly, thinking that Ye Chensha's information was indeed correct.

And from this point of view, the power behind Ye Chensha may be stronger than Xu Taiping imagined, because the information he could get was not even known by Mr. Zhang, who was a high-level cultivator in Xuanhuangtian.

"Demon Lord Tian Xing... is the demon who relies on women's resentment to improve his cultivation level?"

Nan Xing changed color on the spot after hearing what Mr. Zhang said.

"I also heard this news from a friend of mine."

Xu Taiping nodded, and then continued:

"In addition, I also got a very unfavorable news from him."

"What news?"

Hearing this, Zhang Lao and Nanxing asked together.

"It is said that Jiuyuan got a soul weapon on the fourth floor of Xuanhuangtian, which can know the approximate location of our landing within ten miles after we enter the fourth floor of Xuanhuang Tower."

Xu Taiping replied.

The reactions of Zhang Lao and Nanxing to this were similar to Xu Taiping's reactions after hearing this a few days ago.

"With Jiuyuan's current power on the fourth floor of Xuanhuang Tower, as long as they know our approximate location, let alone the location of ten miles, I am afraid they can block a hundred miles."

Zhang Lao's face was full of worry.

Hearing this, Xu Taiping took out two talismans from the Xuanhuang Ring, gave one to Zhang Lao and one to Nanxing, and then explained:

"Put this talisman on you, and when you enter the fourth to sixth floors of the Xuanhuang Tower, no one will be able to see or sense your existence within a cup of tea, no matter how strong your cultivation is."

"It's just a talisman, can it really be so powerful?"

Gongshu Nanxing was still a little skeptical.

And Zhang Lao, who was standing next to him, took the talisman and said with his eyes shining:

"This is a rare soul weapon in the Xuanhuang Tower, the Heaven-covering Talisman. As long as you carry it with you, it can indeed make you completely invisible or invisible to anyone within a cup of tea after entering the tower."

Zhang Lao's experience is there, and he knows most of the famous soul weapons in the Xuanhuang Tower.

Xu Taiping also breathed a sigh of relief after receiving Mr. Zhang's confirmation.

Although he had reached a deal with Ye Chensha, he still couldn't believe it in his heart, so he took out the information and the talisman for Mr. Zhang and the others to confirm.

"It only takes a cup of tea. With our current level of cultivation, only you, Master, can run ten miles, right?"

Mr. Zhang frowned again at this time.

"If the consumption of qi, blood and true energy is not taken into account, my Sky Shadow Technique can run ten miles in half a cup of tea."

Gongshu Nanxing spoke at this time.

"Even so, as long as we show up, we will still be discovered by the map in their hands."

Mr. Zhang shook his head.

"Mr. Zhang, Miss Nanxing, I have deduced this matter many times in the past two months, and found that the key to evading the first wave of Jiuyuan's encirclement and suppression lies in you."

Xu Taiping suddenly looked at Mr. Zhang seriously.
