"What?"
A group of Divine Fire Sect disciples stared in shock.
"He actually defeated Master Uncle Long Zaiyang, the guardian of the seventy-first floor?"
Many of them looked as if they had seen a ghost, unable to believe that this Guest Elder who had seemingly appeared out of nowhere could overcome Long Zaiyang and pass the seventy-first-floor hurdle.
"This..."
Long Jiyu stood dumbfounded atop the mountain peak, all traces of his previous arrogance gone.
"Hmph~~~"
In the crowd, only Chen Ningfeng let out a faint smile, though inwardly he was breathing a sigh of relief.
...
Divine Fire Tower, seventy-second floor.
The room was brightly lit, and positioned at the center of the floor was an elder monk holding a Zen staff, his body radiating golden light, giving him an appearance of supreme holiness.
"Greetings, young friend."
This elder monk turned out to be a cultivator of the Buddhist Path.
