Starting from helping someone rob a wedding, he was forced to hide in the Sunset Sect

Xu Yeyu and Xia Xiaomo walked into the fifth floor of the Monster Tower.

The door closed gently, and the two stepped into a completely different world, like walking into an endless void.

The world around me seemed to disappear at this moment, leaving only endless darkness.

Apart from Xu Yeyu, Xia Xiaomo could not see anything around her. The darkness was so heavy that she could not tell the direction. Even her own breathing seemed to be suppressed silently.

Xia Xiaomo frowned and asked, "Where is this place?"

The fifth floor was not like this. She had never heard of such a place in the Monster Tower.

Xu Yeyu smiled and said, "Maybe this is the hidden area of ​​the Monster Tower."

"I've never heard of such a place in the Monster Tower. Could there be something wrong with the formation?" Xia Xiaomo asked.

Xu Yeyu raised his head and said, "There is nothing wrong with the formation. Someone is looking for us."

Is someone looking for us?

Xia Xiaomo became even more confused. She thought that there was a problem with the formation of the Monster Tower, which caused this situation.

At this moment, a series of stairs suddenly appeared in front of the two.

The stairs spiral upward until they disappear into the endless darkness, seemingly leading to some unknown place.

Each step emitted a faint light, guiding the two people forward.

Xia Xiaomo now really believed that someone was looking for them.

As long as they follow this staircase, they can leave here. Someone is guiding them.

"Who is looking for us?" Xia Xiaomo asked curiously.

She didn't think it was the elder or the deputy sect leader. After all, if they wanted to see the two of them, there would be no need to go through so much trouble.

"Some things need to remain mysterious. It would be meaningless if you knew the answer in advance," said Xu Yeyu.

Xia Xiaomo gave him a displeased look. It was such a late hour and he was still talking about mystery.

Xu Yeyu stepped onto the stairs, turned around and looked at Xia Xiaomo and said, "Let's go."

Xia Xiaomo also took a step forward, and the two of them walked up one floor at a time.

As they walked, Xia Xiaomo discovered that Xu Yeyu, who had been following her, had disappeared.

Xia Xiaomo looked up, but there was still no end in sight. She looked down, but there was nothing to see below.

She stood on the stairs and watched for a while, and a guess came to her mind.

This should be some kind of test.

Xu Yeyu must separate from her, and the two of them must pass the test alone before they can see that person.

After Xia Xiaomo hesitated for a moment, she took out the magic sword from her waist and swung it upwards.

The sword energy broke through the air, leaving a sword mark on the stairs.

Then she jumped straight down the stairs.

The wind around her gradually grew stronger, whimpering as she fell faster.

Xia Xiaomo stabbed the side of the stairs with a sword.

She hung in the air, her eyes glancing slightly downward.

The distance she fell was already greater than the height she had just climbed up, but she could still fall down, and the depths below were still unbearable.

Xia Xiaomo raised her head and looked upward again. She saw the sword mark on the spiral staircase.

She raised her head again and looked upwards, seeing the sword marks left by her previous swing of the sword.

The sword mark was not far from her.

Xia Xiaomo was already certain of what she was thinking.

This was not a staircase leading upwards at all. From the moment she stepped onto it, she was trapped in an endless loop.

"Then how should I get out?" Xia Xiaomo said to herself.

She understood the principle, but how should she get out?

Xia Xiaomo retracted the spirit sword and allowed herself to continue falling.

After a long while, she suddenly stopped, without the feeling of falling from a great height.

The violent falling sensation she had expected did not occur.

It was as if she was under an illusion, and the fall just now was just an illusion, and she had been standing in the same place the whole time.

The spiral staircase that was originally here has long disappeared, and all that remains is darkness.

Xia Xiaomo breathed a sigh of relief. She had actually thought of two methods just now.

The first method is to try to keep falling and see if there is really no end.

If there is really no end and it keeps looping, then use the second method.

Forced destruction!

Since we can't think of any solution, let's tear down the spiral staircase, and perhaps a new road will appear.

Xia Xiaomo kept walking forward. She didn't know how long she had been walking before she saw a faint light ahead.

Her eyes lit up and her pace involuntarily quickened as she walked towards the light.

The light became stronger and stronger. Xia Xiaomo squinted her eyes, trying to adapt to the sudden strong light. Everything in front of her became a little blurry.

The surrounding scene changed suddenly, as if thousands of fragments were quickly pieced together before my eyes, and the entire space turned upside down.

The next moment, the scene in front of me suddenly became clear.

She was standing on a vast flat ground.

Xia Xiaomo saw Xu Yeyu playing chess with a woman.

Xu Yeyu turned around and looked at Xia Xiaomo and waved at her.

Xia Xiaomo walked up to Xu Yeyu with doubts.

She took a look at the chessboard. Xu Yeyu was holding the black pieces and the woman was holding the white pieces.

"Are you playing Go?" Xia Xiaomo asked.

Xu Yeyu nodded and replied, "This senior is indeed playing Go with me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Yeyu placed another black chess piece.

Xia Xiaomo deduced the next move of the game, and if nothing unexpected happened, Xu Yeyu would lose.

The two played a few more games, and Xu Yeyu lost in the end.

Xia Xiaomo watched the two men decide the winner, and finally asked, "Who is this senior?"

The woman in front of him was just a remnant soul and had no real entity.

The woman raised her head, looked at Xia Xiaomo and said, "I am the first leader of the Sunset Sect, Liu Ruolan."

Xia Xiaomo was not surprised. She had already thought that this woman was the founding leader of the Sunset Sect.

After all, the Monster Tower was created by her, so leaving behind a remnant soul was a piece of cake for her.

"The senior said that it would take some time for you to pass the test, so he invited me to play a game of chess. So I played chess with the senior here." Xu Yeyu said.

Xia Xiaomo nodded slightly and asked, "Did you pass the test so quickly?"

"He dismantled the test formation and came out directly." Liu Ruolan said.

She had never expected that this junior could directly dismantle the formation, skip the test, and come here directly.

Xia Xiaomo couldn't help but sigh, he is worthy of being Xu Yeyu.

Liu Ruolan raised her hand slightly, and the chessboard disappeared.

A wooden chair appeared in front of Xia Xiaomo.

"Please sit down first. I have something to ask you." Liu Ruolan said.

Xia Xiaomo sat on the chair, and Liu Ruolan spoke again.

"I am just a remnant soul, I don't know what is happening outside, I want to ask you, how is the Sunset Sect now?"

Xu Yeyu and Xia Xiaomo looked at each other. They were not quite sure what Senior Liu was asking about specifically.

Xia Xiaomo thought for a moment and said, "Now the Sunset Sect is one of the ten major sects in Beizhou. There are five outer sect elders, three inner sect elders, and hundreds of disciples in the sect."

Liu Ruolan nodded slightly and said, "When I was the sect master, the Sunset Sect was just a small sect. I never thought that it would be among the top ten sects now."

Xia Xiaomo has read the historical records of the Sunset Sect.

Liu Ruolan, the first leader of the Sunset Sect, founded the sect.

After two hundred years of development, the Sunset Sect became a small sect.

Liu Ruolan had a fierce battle with a demon cultivator who had broken through the spiritual realm, and both of them died.

At that time, Liu Ruolan had just broken through to the Spirit Breaking Realm.

"My remaining soul has been sleeping in the Monster Tower, hoping to wake up at the right time and learn something about the Sunset Sect."

Liu Ruolan paused for a moment and continued, "I woke up when I sensed the sword intent of both of you."

These two people are very young, yet they have such cultivation and sword skills.

Only one step away from the fifth realm.

In her era, such people rarely appeared.

"My remaining soul can only last for half an incense stick of time, so I won't talk to you in detail about the Sunset Sect."

A rusty key appeared out of thin air in her hand. She handed the key to Xu Yeyu.

"There is a small formation on this key, but it is missing three runes. As long as you complete them, this key can take you to a place."

Liu Ruolan took back her hand and continued, "It will be helpful for you to break through the Spirit Building Realm."
