169: Three weapons

"Vice Tower Master Ming, you've worked hard all these years. Leave the rest to us!"

"Are you truly certain? The Evil Qi surging below is currently very intense. When our Disciples Cultivate, they only draw out a small amount of Evil Qi through the Magic Array as an aid."

Jiang Ye looked at the Magic Array at the entrance of the Black Fiend Cave, sensed it with his Soul power, and asked, "Do you know what is inside that is constantly producing Evil Qi?"

Ancestor Ming said, "How could we possibly know? No one has ever entered below."

"Good! I will resolve the surging Evil Qi right now. Remove the Seal Magic Array."

Nether Blade asked, "Are we really going to remove the Magic Array?"

Ancestor Ming nodded toward Nether Blade. "Remove it!"

With a nervous heart, Nether Blade retracted the Seal Magic Array. Jiang Ye immediately stepped forward to the cave entrance, his hands quickly forming hand Seals!

"Gathering Fiends, Reversing the World!"

Whoosh— The Evil Qi rapidly converged toward Jiang Ye like a gale.

One hour later.

The Fiend Bead condensed from Evil Qi in front of Jiang Ye grew larger and larger. At this time, the originally violent surging Evil Qi began to calm down. Ancestor Ming and Nether Blade, watching from the side, were both incredibly shocked.

"Let's go! We're going down to take a look." Jiang Ye was the first to jump into the Black Fiend Cave, with Shi Bao and the other following closely behind.

Inside the Black Fiend Cave.

As Jiang Ye carried the condensed Fiend Bead and continued to slowly gather Evil Qi, he said, "There are three very powerful weapons here; they are the source of that Evil Qi. The people of the Underworld Tower don't know about them, so we'll divide them up in a bit, hahaha!!"

Shi Bao asked, "Really? What kind of weapons are they?"

"Just a few hundred meters ahead. Let's go see."

The further the three walked, the denser the surging Evil Qi became, but with Jiang Ye gathering it, the impact on them was minimal.

They finally arrived before the three weapons, but they were all wrapped in thick Evil Qi, which was constantly seeping out from them.

Shi Feng said, "This Evil Qi is somewhat peculiar. I feel we can use the Evil Qi on them to strengthen our power and then directly achieve a Breakthrough!"

Jiang Ye said, "Right! Let's begin. This is a good opportunity; breaking through a few minor Realms should be no problem."

Saying that, Jiang Ye directly merged that large Fiend Bead into his body, transforming it into his own power, and began to fully charge through his Profound Energy Realm.

Southern Region Capital

Inside the Royal Great Hall, Xia Li was discussing matters with many core figures. An Old Ancestor asked, "What's going on with the King of the Town? Hasn't he returned yet? Almost all the Geniuses of the Southern Region have arrived now; we cannot delay any longer."

Xia Li thought for a moment and said, "Let all the Geniuses competing for the slots enter the Royal Palace to rest and wait. Provide them with the best food. The King of the Town must have been delayed by something important."

Xia Yichen said, "Three days ago, he reached the Underworld Tower. I suspect he is helping the Underworld Tower resolve the issue with their Black Fiend Cave."

"If that's the case, we'll wait a few more days. I believe he will come immediately after resolving the problem."

Seven days later.

Inside the Black Fiend Cave, the auras of Jiang Ye and the others had changed significantly, all having achieved a Breakthrough in several Realms. Shi Bao and Shi Feng had both reached the second stage of the Earth Realm, while Jiang Ye had reached the ninth stage of the Earth Realm, with faint signs of being ready to break through to the Heaven Realm at any time.

By now, the three weapons had revealed their true forms: a long saber, a long sword, and a long spear. All of them emitted a terrifying black light and were exceptionally sharp.

Whoosh! Shi Bao was the first to jump over and grab a long saber. "I'll take the loss and just settle for this long saber, hahaha!"
