Chapter 897
The Unusual Behavior of the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace
"Why does this little girl's aura feel somewhat familiar to me..."
Lin Xuan looked at the only woman among the five members of the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace who had her face covered.
"Lin Xuan, what's wrong?"
Nangong Yue looked at Lin Xuan and asked.
Lin Xuan smiled and said, "I think your brother is among those five hundred people."
Both Nangong Yue and Nangong Qingyi turned their gazes back to the crowd of the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace and spotted Nangong Yang among them.
As if sensing something, Nangong Yang fixed his gaze on Lin Xuan and the others, but his eyes held only indifference and a hint of killing intent.
The Nangong family has been destroyed, and the blood ties have been severed. There is no longer any relationship between Nangong Yang and Nangong Qingyi.
If we really have to say there's a connection, then it can only be that they're enemies.
"It seems that Nangong Yang has made great progress. He looks like he has at least reached the Second Tribulation Golden Immortal Realm."
Nangong Yue glanced at Nangong Yang a few times before looking away. They weren't familiar with each other to begin with, and now that their families were gone, there was even less need for them to get to know each other.
Lin Xuan smiled faintly. This was the indifference in kinship within a family that had lasted for millions of years; it was something that could not be avoided.
The Lin family can still maintain kinship for now, but in a few hundred years at most, they will follow the same path as the Nangong family. This is something that no family or power can avoid.
Should we go?
Both Nangong Yue and Nangong Qingyi revolve around Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan shook his head.
"The leader of the five-person group from the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace hasn't come up yet, so we're not in a hurry. We can wait a little longer."
Lin Xuan's intuition told him that the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace's uninvited arrival this time was definitely suspicious. As for what kind of conspiracy it might be, further observation was needed.
"Hehe, Lin Xuan can go to climb the tower whenever he wants, but you two can go now."
Li Qingyue waved her hand.
Nangong Qingyi and Nangong Yue felt the same way, so they flew directly towards the Eight Immortal Towers.
"Lin Xuan, is there something you're worried about?"
After watching her son and daughter leave, Li Qingyue turned her head to look at Lin Xuan.
Li Hongyi also looked at Lin Xuan, her eyes filled with curiosity.
Lin Xuan nodded slightly.
“This time I feel it’s not that simple. This is the last chance for the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace to use the Eight Immortal Towers, but don’t you feel they’re using them too hastily?”
Lin Xuan's explanation made Li Qingyue fall into deep thought.
Because what Lin Xuan said was indeed correct.
The Nine Heavens Immortal Palace had three opportunities to use the Eight Immortal Towers. On the first two occasions, the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace made thorough preparations before coming to the Eight Immortal Towers to use the towers.
This time, however, they came very directly, and there were only 500 people in their group.
"I also felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't quite put my finger on what it was."
Li Qingyue sighed softly, looking in the direction of the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace with a complicated expression.
The three Immortal Emperors of the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace—Sima Jiba, Master Yi, and the newly promoted Immortal Emperor Hua Wulian—seem incapable of causing any upheaval within the Eight Immortal Palaces.
"Let's take one step at a time."
Lin Xuan carefully observed the situation inside the tower.
At this point, someone had already climbed to the 790th floor of the tower. It was Ling Jin from the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace. His strength was truly extraordinary, as he was actually going to fight his way to the 800th floor.
"Haha, Brother Zhuge, it seems that the disciples of my Nine Heavens Immortal Palace are quite good."
Sima Jiba looked at Zhuge Boqi with a smile.
"The Nine Heavens Immortal Palace has a good method of educating people, and it is indeed effective." As the Grand Hall Master of the Divine Dragon Hall of the Eight Immortal Palaces, Zhuge Boqi naturally did not want to diminish his own prestige and boost the morale of others.
However, the fact that the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace, despite having one less Eight-Part Immortal Tower than the Eight-Part Immortal Palace, was still able to surpass the Eight-Part Immortal Palace in cultivating geniuses speaks volumes.
"If these eight immortal towers were in my Nine Heavens Immortal Palace, I think our Nine Heavens Immortal Palace's performance would be more than twice as good!"
Sima Jiba's words revealed a naked ambition, and his desire for the Eight Immortal Towers was almost entirely superficial.
Zhuge Boqi looked at Sima Jiba with a dangerous glint in his eyes.
"Hehe, these Eight Immortal Towers are the most precious treasures of my Eight Immortal Palaces. What? Brother Sima, are you coveting the most precious treasures of our Eight Immortal Palaces?!"
Although Zhuge Boqi spoke with a smile, his words were full of ill intent.
Sima Jiba raised the corners of his mouth slightly, but did not respond to Zhuge Boqi's words.
However, Zhuge Boqi already sensed that something was wrong, and it was getting increasingly wrong.
The tower challenge continues.
The first to break through the 800th floor was not Ling Jin of the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace, but Lin Yuan of the Eight Palaces Immortal Palace who came from behind.
Lin Yuan truly lived up to his reputation as the disciple of the Grand Hall Master Zhuge Boqi; his talent and strength were both top-notch, and breaking through the eight hundred levels required almost no effort.
After Lin Yuan took the lead in reaching the 800th floor, cheers immediately erupted from within the Eight Immortal Palaces.
"Senior Brother Lin Yuan is invincible!"
"Senior Brother Lin Yuan is awesome!"
"Senior Brother Lin Yuan, may the might of our Eight Divine Divisions be amplified!"
Cheers resounded throughout the Eight Celestial Palaces.
Inside the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace, the expressions of the crowd did not change much, especially the leader, Feng Xiu, who looked at this scene without even the slightest ripple on his face.
After Lin Yuan reached the 800th floor, Ling Jin of the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace immediately became the second person to step into the 800th floor.
However, after reaching the 800th floor, Ling Jin stopped walking and instead sat down to meditate.
This left many people in the Eight Immortal Palaces somewhat bewildered.
The higher you climb in the Eight Immortal Towers, the greater the benefits you will receive.
Especially after the 700th floor, each subsequent floor offers significant rewards.
Anyone with eyes could see that Ling Jin could have gone up another 10 or 20 floors, but he stopped at the 800th floor.
Kazama, who was closely following Ling Jin, also made it to the 800th floor, but he didn't have it as easy as Ling Jin.
Kazama was a little surprised to see Ling Jin sitting down on the 800th floor, but he didn't dwell on it too much and continued towards the 801st floor.
Ling Jin watched Kazama pass by, a smug smile on his face.
After Lin Yuan, Ling Jin, and Kazama reached the 800th floor, Qiu Long also easily reached the 800th floor.
Unlike Ling Jin, the dragon on the 800th floor did not stay on the 800th floor. Instead, it continued to climb until it reached the 840th floor before stopping.
Everyone was stunned again. What was this dragon up to now?
Although Qiulong's strength is not as great as Lin Yuan's, it is clear to everyone that even if Lin Yuan wanted to defeat Qiulong, it would not be an easy task!
Lin Yuan has already reached the 870th floor, and the limit of the dragon is definitely not at the 840th floor.
"What are they trying to do? Why would they do such a thing?"
Li Qingyue didn't know why, but she felt a little flustered. Since the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace would do this, there must be a reason. It was probably a conspiracy!
"He's moved, it's time for me to join in!"
Lin Xuan suddenly walked forward.
Both Li Qingyue and Li Hongyi saw the leader of the group depart from the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace.
Five hundred people arrived at the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace, and four hundred and ninety-eight of them have entered the Eight Immortal Towers, leaving only Feng Xiu and the veiled woman.
Feng Xiu finally stepped into the fray. (End of Chapter)
