Chapter 108 Method

  As soon as the words fell, everyone felt a sudden lightness on their bodies, and a thud was heard in their ears. Turning their heads, they saw Ke Zhongdong fall to the ground with a splat, blood spurting three feet away, paralyzed and unable to move.

  Everyone kept a distance from Ke Zhengdong, and a chill ran down his spine. At this moment, they finally realized that the power of the Eastern Overlord was not to be underestimated.

  Most of the cultivators who entered Tongtian Tower were in their twenties, had just built their foundation, and had never been out to practice. They were all proud sons of heaven in their respective sects, spoiled by their elders and fellow disciples, and were somewhat unaware of the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth. Moreover, they were young and vigorous, and when they saw the Tianxuan Sect cultivators who were one level higher than them everywhere, they had a hidden resentment in their hearts. After suffering losses or injuries in the treasure hunt, they didn't even touch the fur of the treasure, and their hearts surged with anger, disappointment, and other emotions. Seeing the Tianxuan Sect cultivators standing unscathed and calmly on the side, as if watching their joke, this scene further ignited their jealousy, and slowly, doubts arose again. The more negative emotions accumulated, the better it was for someone to fan the flames, and they followed suit, slandering and vilifying the Tianxuan Sect. In the end, it was just a matter of jealous psychology, not that they were really stupid and completely unable to distinguish right from wrong.

  But the law does not blame the masses, and it can also be used to vent their dissatisfaction. Why not do such a good thing? Can Tianxuan Sect really have the power to kill them all here? Humph, I don't think they have that kind of power.

  Little did they know, Tian Xuan Sect indeed had such strength, and Song Ning alone was enough.

  The aura on Song Ning was no weaker than that of the Golden Elixir True Immortals in their own sect, causing everyone to involuntarily feel a surge of reverence in their hearts. The chief disciple of the great sect was indeed extraordinary.

  "Song Shixiong, Ke Zhengdong this little man should be properly punished. If it wasn't for him stirring up trouble, I wouldn't..."

  "Alright, the main culprit has been punished, this matter is now over, and no one needs to mention it again." Song Ning raised his hand to interrupt the other's chatter, "Now we should discuss how to retrieve the treasure, does anyone have any ideas?"

  "No. Can't find a way to get the treasure."

  "Yes, I've thought of all sorts of ways, but none of them work. Please ask the seniors of Tianxuan Sect to think of a solution."

  "Brother Song, you have always been known for your wisdom and strategic thinking in the Eastern Region. The fellow brothers and sisters of the Tianxuan Sect are also exceptionally intelligent and will surely come up with a way to obtain the treasure."

  Everyone nodded and echoed in agreement, surrounding the Tianxuan Sect cultivators and asking them to think of a solution.

  "If I were to say it, everyone would work together and break through the light shield," Sun Dainiu shouted in a loud and rough voice.

  Everyone was stunned, and Tianxuan Sect also had a moment of dullness. The confidence that had just been hit suddenly began to recover.

  "Brother Sun, using brute force to break the light shield is a last resort. If all else fails, then we can consider this method. For now, let's think of other ways."

  "Hey, big brother. I don't do brain-twisting things, I only know how to use brute force, figuring out strategies is not my thing, if there's a need for physical strength, you can call on me." Sun Dainiu said with a silly tone, people who didn't know him would think he was really that clueless, but in future battles, they would definitely suffer greatly.

  "Alright, you rest for now." Song Ning smiled. He turned around to face the others and asked: "Do any of my fellow disciples have any ideas? You can all speak up, let's discuss it together."

  "Thirteen sisters had previously speculated that this was an ancient sect's trial ground, and the Tongtian Tower would reward cultivators who passed the trial. At that time, there were twenty-six people in the great hall, and there were also twenty-six treasures, exactly one for each person. This matter verified the correctness of the previous speculation. Following this line of thinking, it shouldn't be difficult to obtain the treasure, but why couldn't they take it down?" Huang Luoxue had a certain guess in her heart, but she still turned her gaze towards Luo Yu.

  Luo Yu raised the corner of her lips: "I think, if everyone uses spiritual power to get the treasure and it doesn't work, then try not using spiritual power. Who knows, maybe it will succeed. After all, ancient cultivators were more simple-minded than modern ones. Since the disciples have already passed the trial, they won't set up difficult problems for them again." As expected, Jiu Jie nodded, and Luo Yu exchanged a smile with her.

  As soon as they heard this, everyone's eyes lit up. What a coincidence! It was so easy to get their hands on it! Who cares about the Tianxuan Sect or Song Ning? They immediately turned around and rushed towards the treasure, one person per item. Who knows who will get what? Besides, three people died, but there weren't 23 treasures. Maybe they can take more! After I refine the treasure, I'll just be a Qi Foundation stage Song Ning. What's there to fear?!

  Even the two monks who were seriously injured earlier, including Ke Zhengdong, who was punished by Song Ning, are no exception at this moment. They don't look like they're hurt at all and appear to be full of energy. However, it's likely that they used a secret method to suppress their injuries, which isn't very effective in the long run. Although these three people are closer to the treasure, they will soon be caught up by others.

  "Ah!" Sun Dainiu roared, drawing out his long knife and preparing to fight. "You bastards! You just found out how to get the treasure and now you're turning against us? You dare to run ahead of us and take the treasure?"

  "Brother Sun, let them go!" Luoyu hastily pulled at Sun Daniu.

  "Jade sister's plan is for them to get the treasure first, do we have to pick up what they leave behind?" Sun Daniu pushed away Luo Yu's hand.

  "Yes, they are unreasonable. If Huang Shimei is afraid of fighting, she can hide behind." Ruan Meiyen said sarcastically.

  "Mind your own business! What are you babbling about here?" Sun Dainiu turned his head and scolded Ruan Meiyen, spitting a mouthful of saliva on her face.

  "You——" Ruan Mingyan pointed at Sun Dainiu, her face flushing with anger.

  "Alright, it can't be stopped anyway." Song Ning was calm and composed, as if he had a plan in mind: "Since Huang Shimei is so determined, she must have her reasons."

  Luo Yu smiled slightly, her tone light and airy: "No need for me to say it, you can see for yourselves."

  At this time, the monk who ran to the front was only ten meters away from the treasure, and there was no fight between them. After all, it was still unclear whether this method would work. If it did, they could take the treasure first and then fight, so as not to get injured for nothing.

  One by one, they were like hungry wolves who had seen fresh meat, but didn't dare to use their spiritual power. Under duress, they stomped their feet and jumped up, stretching out their left hands and embracing with their right hands. What's more, some of them even opened their big mouths, ready to pounce on one of them. Luo Yu couldn't help but laugh at the sight.

  "Ah!" A flash of insight, one person and one sword vanished into thin air.

  "Wha—" Before he could finish speaking, another person vanished into thin air.

  "No, this is not what I wanted most—" someone shouted with a torn heart and lungs, the jade ruler in his mouth did not fall off when he spoke, and immediately one person and one ruler disappeared.

  Due to their eagerness, no one wanted to fall behind, so almost everyone reached for the treasure at the same time. The spiritual light flashed thirteen or fourteen times in a row, and all the cultivators who were grabbing for the treasure were teleported away.

  After taking the treasure, Ke Zhongdong and others were all transported to a large hall, similar to the previous one, but slightly smaller in area.
