Chapter 240 There must be treasure!
"Lord of the Northern Ridge, you can't be so biased, allowing only those from the Southern Spirit Sect to enter the Tower of the Abyss while refusing us, can you?"
Just as everyone was about to enter the tower, the Black Serpent Sect Master suddenly spoke up.
Behind him, the leader of the Holy Spirit Sect also voiced his dissatisfaction.
"That's right. Our Holy Spirit Sect made an agreement with the Northern Ridge Holy Land a hundred years ago. You promised us a number of spots in the Tower of the Abyss, but we haven't mentioned it in the past hundred years. Giving our sect a few spots now shouldn't be too much of a hassle, right?"
When the sect leaders spoke up together, the Holy Lord of the Northern Ridge looked grim.
This happened a hundred years ago, and these people haven't mentioned it for so long, yet now they're asking for spots again.
He could guess what these people were thinking without even having to think about it.
The reason is simply that people think Lan Yue, who possesses a celestial artifact, dares to go in at this time because there must be some treasure inside the Tower of the Abyss.
So the Holy Lord of Beiling frowned and looked at the people in front of him expressionlessly.
The Holy Spirit Sect Master chuckled, his chubby hand clutching the Holy Grail, a roguish expression on his face.
Although it is indeed somewhat suspicious that he asked for a spot at this time, the agreement between the Beiling Holy Land and the Holy Spirit Sect is indeed real.
However, he always felt that the Tower of the Abyss was extremely dangerous, and that it had even been taken by the demons before, so he didn't want to let his sect members go in to their deaths.
Now even Lan Yue and the daughter of the Holy Son of Beiling dare to go in, there must be a lot of treasures inside!
How could he possibly miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
"Give them a spot and let them in." The Holy Lord of Beiling was in a dilemma, but a senior dressed in white robes suddenly spoke up.
"If other sects also have agreements, feel free to let your disciples in, if you are not afraid of death."
As the authoritative voice fell, quite a few sects actually took a few steps back. After hesitating for a while, they ultimately dared not take the risk at this moment.
However, the people from the Black Serpent Sect, the Holy Spirit Sect, and the Taiyun Sect were not afraid at all, because they were already convinced that there was probably some secret inside the Tower of the Abyss.
"Alright, there are limited spots available, so choose carefully." The Holy Lord of Beiling nodded.
Anyway, if something goes wrong, it won't be his fault, because the Tower of the Abyss is inherently very dangerous.
After a short delay, once each sect had sent out its disciples, everyone cautiously entered the Tower of the Abyss and passed through the vortex-like gate.
Lan Yue glanced at them, her expression somewhat puzzled. In the original story, these people hadn't entered, so why had they all followed this time? It was as if the Tower of the Abyss was some highly coveted prize.
Even the main characters faced near-death experiences inside, and it's not certain that they'll all emerge unscathed.
Lan Yue caught a glimpse of a familiar figure following behind and realized that it was Black Fang from the Black Serpent Sect.
The man next to Black Fang seemed to be his two brothers. The three of them looked similar, each one more muscular than the last, and they all stared at him with hostile eyes.
Lan Yue felt baffled. Hei Ya's hostility was inexplicable, as were the two similar-looking people following behind.
Of course, at this moment, Lan Yue was unaware that the black tooth she found so inexplicable had been bitten several times by her own poisonous insects and had almost been disfigured.
If Lan Yue knew, she would suddenly realize what was happening and then jump up and applaud.
At this moment, she had no intention of paying attention to these people. She was focused on the special inheritance inside the Tower of Abyss, figuring out how to quickly help Yunxi obtain that inheritance and fully awaken the bloodline of the ancient Heavenly Witch Clan.
Fortunately, after the group entered the Tower of the Abyss, they were quickly separated by beams of light.
However, Lan Yue and the others were not separated. The Holy Son of Beiling secretly gave them jade tokens, which had a special function: to keep them together.
Lan Yue naturally wouldn't bring up such a thing. Instead, she secretly slipped the jade token into her sleeve, afraid that other sects would discover it and collectively break down, thinking that the Northern Ridge Holy Land had suddenly collapsed.
At this moment, Lan Yue was very self-righteous. Her best friend Yun Xi was the daughter of the Northern Ridge Holy Land and was about to awaken the bloodline of the Holy Son. What was wrong with taking a little more care of her?
Who doesn't take care of their own child?
Lan Yue walked with a graceful gait, a smile always in her eyes.
For this trip to the Tower of Abyss, she had prepared a lot of things in advance. She had taken a lot from Tengshe, and received "sponsorship" from the Supreme Elder, Sect Master Yun, the Holy Son of Beiling, and her own master.
Therefore, she will definitely be able to lead the main characters to avoid one life-or-death crisis after another! After they come out, they will no longer be the "Amon" of Nanling!
What are the demons' schemes compared to this? Once the main characters develop their strength, they'll all be nothing but paper tigers!
Lan Yue was absolutely certain, and her confident smile made Yun Xi, who was standing next to her, feel a little embarrassed.
Baili Xingzhou, who had come along, glanced at her again, seemingly lost in thought.
"Second Uncle is right. The Tower of the Abyss is extremely dangerous. Although this trial ground was inherited from the Central Holy Land era, it was once in the hands of the Demon Clan."
"But the ancient immortal artifacts have a self-protection mode, so the demons could not succeed. They were unwilling to just watch the Tower of the Abyss sit there. So the demons made some minor modifications to the tower, wanting to turn it into a demonic artifact of the demons."
"However, the previous Holy Son noticed this in time and used a scheme to regain control of the Tower of the Abyss, uncovering some of the Demon Clan's arrangements. Only then did he make the Tower of the Abyss a trial ground for the Northern Ridge Holy Land."
Beside a group of disciples dressed in sky-blue robes of the Southern Spirit Sect, Baili Xingzhou was giving an introduction.
Beside him was Nangong Ye, who had recovered, and other disciples of the Northern Ridge Holy Land dressed in white robes.
