Rong Xiu, who was heading toward the Nine Nether Tower, frowned as he saw that pillar of light.
He was a step too late!
She had actually already reached the seventh floor!
He quickened his pace and rushed forward.
Yan Qing followed behind. Seeing this commotion, his heart was filled with horror, and he didn't dare utter a single word.
Miss Liu Yue was far too bold, actually causing such a massive disturbance within the Nine Nether Tower!
The two moved forward and soon encountered students who were evacuating.
"Prince Li?!"
Seeing Rong Xiu, several young women were startled.
Rong Xiu's expression remained calm. He gave a faint nod and continued walking forward without stopping.
"Prince Li, it's dangerous ahead!"
The women exchanged glances and hurriedly rushed in front of Rong Xiu, attempting to block him.
Rong Xiu looked at them quietly.
Though his expression was extremely tranquil, those women all felt a chill surge from the soles of their feet straight to their foreheads!
The joy and excitement of encountering Prince Li quickly faded. The women looked at one another, their faces turning pale.
This Prince Li... his aura is quite extraordinary.
Yan Qing immediately spoke up
"His Highness has important matters to attend to. Please, do not delay him."
Only then did the women snap out of it and hurriedly make way.
Rong Xiu stepped forward, not leaving even a single extra glance behind.
However, after a moment of hesitation, the women couldn't help but shout
"Prince Li! The Nine Nether Tower is undergoing a mutation! If you go there now, it will be at the most dangerous moment! Elder Wei Yun has already ordered everyone to evacuate! You should not go!"
Rong Xiu remained unmoved and continued forward.
Yan Qing felt quite helpless in his heart.
Could these people not see that his master had already made up his mind to go?
If they blocked him like this and delayed his business, that would be the real danger for them!
Yan Qing turned back, his gaze sweeping over them
"His Highness knows what he is doing."
The women's faces grew even paler, and they no longer dared to say anything more.
Gradually, more and more students evacuated from that direction.
Everyone was moving away from the Nine Nether Tower, except for Rong Xiu, who was moving against the current.
Many people were surprised to see him.
Why had this physically frail Prince Li come here at a time like this?
And it seemed... he looked a bit different than before.
Some people couldn't help but try to warn him, but they were all brushed off by Yan Qing.
Finally, Rong Xiu arrived before the Nine Nether Tower.
Elder Wei Yun was looking at the tower with a heart full of anxiety. He turned his head by chance and saw Rong Xiu approaching.
His brow was furrowed tightly
"Rong Xiu, why have you come at a time like this?! All the students have already evacuated; the elders and teachers will naturally come to handle it. You should leave as soon as possible—"
"There is still someone inside."
Rong Xiu interrupted him.
Elder Wei Yun froze. Just as he was about to ask who it was, a realization flashed through his mind!
Right!
There was still Chu Liu Yue!
He had almost forgotten her!
He remembered that when she arrived this afternoon, he had even congratulated her.
Recalling it now, among the students who had just come out, Chu Liu Yue was indeed missing!
She was still inside!
"How can this be? The Nine Nether Tower underwent a mutation, and all the students were just expelled. How is it that only Chu Liu Yue is left behind?"
Elder Wei Yun also grew nervous.
Chu Liu Yue had just taken two first places at the Qingjiao Assembly!
She was undeniably the top genius of their academy!
If something happened to her, they would not be able to bear such a loss!
Rong Xiu raised his eyes and looked toward the Nine Nether Tower.
"I will go in and bring her out!"
Elder Wei Yun gritted his teeth and immediately rushed toward the entrance!
However, at that very moment, the gates of the Nine Nether Tower slammed shut with a loud "Bang!"
Blocking Elder Wei Yun outside!
Elder Wei Yun's eyes widened.
"This... this—"
Wasn't Chu Liu Yue completely imprisoned within the Nine Nether Tower?!
He attempted to open the gates, but they wouldn't budge an inch.
Only then did Elder Wei Yun realize that the situation seemed even more serious than he had imagined!
"What is going on?!"
While he was in a state of extreme anxiety, Sun Zhongyan and the others finally arrived one after another!
Elder Wei Yun quickly explained the situation to them.
"...The Nine Nether Tower mutated without any warning! I don't know what's happening! And now the gates won't open!"
Sun Zhongyan asked with a frown
"Is there still someone inside?"
Elder Wei Yun swallowed hard.
"Chu Liu Yue is still inside."
"What?!"
Sun Zhongyan was shocked and immediately frowned as he looked toward the Nine Nether Tower!
Then, he crossed his hands in front of him.
Streams of light interlaced, and a profound array quickly appeared!
At the same time, speckles of starlight appeared around the Nine Nether Tower!
That was the profound array laid upon the Nine Nether Tower!
Sun Zhongyan studied the array before him carefully.
"That's not right... there is no trace of her within the Nine Nether Tower..."
This array was connected to the Nine Nether Tower; even if one couldn't enter, one could discern something through the array.
Sun Zhongyan watched for a long while, but he still could not detect Chu Liu Yue's presence.
Elder Wei Yun said in confusion
"That's impossible! She clearly went in this afternoon, and all the other students came out together just now. Only she didn't come out! She should still be inside!"
Sun Zhongyan held his breath and checked the array once more, but he still shook his head.
"Still nothing."
Everyone looked at one another, falling into silence.
This matter was far too eerie!
Elder Wei Yun paced around anxiously.
"How can she not be found? She is clearly inside!"
From the side, Rong Xiu suddenly spoke
"Elder Sun, how many floors can your array see?"
Sun Zhongyan was stunned for a moment and answered instinctively
"Five floors! This array has existed with the Nine Nether Tower for many years and has always been able to see five floors—wait! Do you mean—"
An absurd thought flashed through Sun Zhongyan's mind!
Could it be that Chu Liu Yue was not in the bottom five floors?!
"That's impossible!"
Sun Zhongyan blurted out.
"No one from Tianlu Academy has ever been able to reach above the fifth floor! How could she—"
Halfway through his sentence, his voice cut off abruptly.
Aside from this explanation, there seemed to be no other answer.
Furthermore, the sudden mutation of the Nine Nether Tower also seemed very wrong!
Everyone fell into a deathly silence.
Suddenly, a cry of alarm came from the crowd
"Look! The gate—"
Everyone looked at once, their faces filled with shock!
They saw that the carved lines on the gates of the Nine Nether Tower had suddenly begun to move!
In the blink of an eye, they transformed into black karmic fire! It began to burn violently!
"How... how can this be..."
Sun Zhongyan's eyes widened, and he murmured in disbelief.
In the moment of everyone's astonishment, the flames had already spread rapidly!
In an instant, the entire first floor of the Nine Nether Tower was surrounded by that black karmic fire!
*Roar!*
An extremely ferocious, piercing shriek suddenly erupted from within the Nine Nether Tower!
It resounded through heaven and earth!
