“Condense!”
A low, powerful voice suddenly rang out!
At the same time, everyone saw a burst of silvery starlight suddenly descend, covering the cracked Profound Array!
The moment the two forces made contact, they immediately merged into one!
The area that had previously grown dim instantly brightened!
The Profound Array, which had been on the verge of collapsing, stabilized instantly with the injection of this power!
As the crowd watched intently, they saw a gray figure slowly walking out from the void!
Seeing that person, Sun Zhongyan immediately cried out in pleasant surprise
“Martial Uncle!”
Who else could it be but Ye Zhiting, the Dean of Tianlu Academy?!
He was still wearing that same dusty cotton coat, holding a palm-leaf fan in his hand. There wasn't a single ripple of Origin Power emanating from him; he looked extremely simple, no different from an ordinary elderly man.
But everyone present knew that he was the strongest person here!
The many teachers and students of the academy all unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Ye Zhiting.
Standing in the distance observing in secret, Cheng Han and Fu Yunshan were both startled; they hadn't expected Ye Zhiting to suddenly appear at this moment.
“He certainly came out just in time!”
Cheng Han stared fixedly at that figure, speaking through gritted teeth.
Fu Yunshan couldn't help but whisper
“Having not seen him for many years, Elder Ye's strength seems to have grown even stronger...”
Cheng Han felt increasingly irritated.
Of course, he had noticed this as well!
He had originally thought that during this trip to the Imperial Capital, he could win against Ye Zhiting once and wash away his previous shame.
He had felt quite regretful when Ye Zhiting didn't appear.
Later, when he learned that Ye Zhiting had a disciple, he thought it would be a good idea to have Situ Xingchen defeat the opponent's disciple.
But he never expected that Ye Zhiting's disciple would actually be Chu Liuyue!
Furthermore, Chu Liuyue had taken first place in both the Martial Artist and Profound Master categories!
What frustrated him most was that even Situ Xingchen's first place in Divine Medicine was actually obtained through Chu Liuyue's intervention!
He had regretted it immensely afterward, even agreeing to Chu Liuyue's proposal to have her replace Situ Xingchen in the competition.
He was already full of pent-up rage, and he hadn't expected that just as he was about to leave the Imperial Capital, the Nine Nether Tower would undergo a mutation, and Ye Zhiting would emerge!
Most crucially, Ye Zhiting's realm was clearly stronger than before!
Cheng Han was certain in his heart that if the two were to fight now, he would still be no match for Ye Zhiting.
"The Nine Nether Tower has run into major trouble this time. I don't think they will resolve it easily," Cheng Han said with a grim expression.
Fu Yunshan was very hesitant.
On one hand, he didn't want to get involved in this dangerous matter; who knew what kind of existence was being suppressed beneath the Nine Nether Tower?
On the other hand, he didn't want to offend Ye Zhiting because of it.
During his moment of hesitation, Ye Zhiting had already walked slowly toward the shattered starlight.
With a wave of his palm-leaf fan, a layer of starlight fell, tracing a brilliant streak of light through the air before finally landing on the silver pestle in the center of the Heaven-Sealing Array.
The silver pestle, which had been wobbling slightly, began to spin rapidly once again! It once again erupted with powerful energy that radiated outward!
The massive Heaven-Sealing Array became dazzlingly bright once more!
The black phantom seemed to sense a threat; it stopped and stared at Ye Zhiting warily.
It knew very well that Ye Zhiting's arrival would bring it an immense threat!
The two sides fell into a standoff!
Ye Zhiting looked at it. His eyes, which were usually old and cloudy, were now incredibly bright and filled with overwhelming pressure!
"Vile beast! Presumptuous!"
His voice fell like a clap of thunder!
Flowing light crisscrossed across the Heaven-Sealing Array!
A trace of struggle flashed through the crimson eyes of the black phantom.
As the Dean of Tianlu Academy and the true owner of the silver pestle, with Ye Zhiting stepping forward, the power of the Heaven-Sealing Array was naturally more than twice as strong as before!
"Go!"
Ye Zhiting swung his palm-leaf fan once more!
The massive Heaven-Sealing Array rose and fell like waves on the sea!
*Roar—*
The black phantom let out a painful shriek! Immediately after, its entire body was actually split apart! It transformed into countless black sparks that scattered and fell!
Even the black Karmic Fire burning below seemed to be affected, retreating significantly instead of continuing to rise.
Seeing this scene, the hearts of Sun Zhongyan and the others finally settled.
“Martial Uncle, you have finally emerged from seclusion!” Sun Zhongyan said excitedly.
If he had been a moment later, the Heaven-Sealing Array might truly have been breached by that beast!
Ye Zhiting laughed heartily
“If I hadn't come out, the entire academy would have been destroyed by this beast!”
Sun Zhongyan lowered his head, filled with guilt.
“It is all due to our incompetence—”
“This matter is not your fault. This beast had wanted to come out long ago, but it simply hadn't found the right opportunity, and I happened to be at a critical juncture of a breakthrough, so I didn't pay much attention. A moment of negligence led to today's situation.”
Ye Zhiting shook his head, showing no intention of blaming Sun Zhongyan and the others.
Sun Zhongyan asked hesitantly
“Then, Martial Uncle, what do you think we should do now?”
The beast clearly had not been completely subdued.
Moreover...
“Martial Uncle, cracks have already appeared on the Nine Nether Tower. I fear we won't be able to continue suppressing this beast in the future.”
That was an even bigger problem!
Ye Zhiting glanced at the Nine Nether Tower and indeed saw a clearly visible crack on the tower's body.
His expression instantly turned serious.
If that were the case, the matter was much more troublesome than anticipated...
His gaze fell back upon the Heaven-Sealing Array, wanting to find a way to solve the problem.
Suddenly, his eyes narrowed
“There are still people inside the Nine Nether Tower!?”
Sun Zhongyan's heart skipped a beat, and he wiped the sweat from his forehead
“Yes, yes...”
“Who is the one on the fourth floor?”
“...The Seventh Prince, Prince Li.”
Sun Zhongyan did not dare to hide it and spoke immediately.
Ye Zhiting's brows furrowed deeply.
“How did he get in?!”
“This...”
Before Sun Zhongyan could answer, Ye Zhiting discovered something even more shocking.
“There are people above the fifth floor as well!?”
Sun Zhongyan could no longer care about anything and nodded hurriedly
“Yes! Liuyue is still above! Can you see which floor she is on!?”
His Martial Uncle was stronger than him and would be able to see the situation on higher floors.
Hearing that familiar name, the corner of Ye Zhiting's eye twitched.
“Who did you say!?”
Sun Zhongyan choked up, and his voice dropped lower.
“...Chu Liuyue.”
Ye Zhiting's vision went dark.
He had only this one precious disciple!
And yet, such a thing had happened!
How dangerous was the Nine Nether Tower right now?
By going in, wouldn't she be walking straight into death!?
“She... she... how did she go up!?”
Sun Zhongyan wanted to cry but had no tears.
He wanted to know that very much as well!
Anxious, Ye Zhiting quickly focused his mind and looked toward the Heaven-Sealing Array again, wanting to check on Chu Liuyue's current situation.
Upon looking, his expression also became quite grim.
“I can only sense that she is on one of those upper floors, but I cannot perceive exactly which floor. For now, I only know she is not on the sixth floor.”
That meant she was at least on the seventh floor!
How could she go to such a place of purgatory!?
