Chu Xisheng glanced at the rotating stone pillar and then swept his gaze around.

From the moment he stepped onto this level, he had sensed it.

The atmosphere within this second stone hall was somewhat off.

On the surface, it seemed calm, but underneath, there were hidden currents brewing a storm.

The thin layer of ice covering the surrounding walls made this evident.

The entire stone hall was chillingly cold, making one's body feel icy.

Chu Xisheng even felt strands of invisible Sword Intent and Blade Intent crisscrossing in the void.

The Heavenly List grandmasters and those First Grade experts present kept steady expressions, yet all were confronting Ween Zhiyi in various ways.

Chu Xisheng raised his eyebrow.

This One Sword Overturning City seems to have become the target of everyone—

"It seems everyone is highly apprehensive of this one."

Ren Xiaowo, with hands crossed behind, also scanned around the stone hall, "They're all smart people. Until Ween Zhiyi is out, they are not planning to kill each other."

Zong Sanping fell into deep thought, "Ween Zhiyi's earlier demonstration seems to have backfired, her Cold Method Swordsmanship suppressing all heroes. If they continue to kill each other, it will only benefit her. I predict the last layer might see a great battle. Either Ween Zhiyi gets out early, or she suppresses all the heroes."

"The question is—"

Fang Bu Yuan, standing on Little Xuanwu's back, asked with a smirk, "Which side should our Formless Divine Sect stand on?"

"Neither side is good."

Jian Cangfeng shook his head, "Our stature is too small; it's better to just observe."

Everyone, hearing this, nodded slightly in deep agreement.

If they help Ween Zhiyi, they will inevitably become the first target of everyone else.

If Ween Zhiyi is defeated, these people's target will surely turn to Chu Xisheng, the Blood Vengeance Saint Transmission.

So being on the sidelines is the most prudent move.

Yan Guilai was lost in thought.

If the Cloud Sea Immortal Palace falls into the hands of Ween Zhiyi, it's not bad—at least it's better than being taken by those mortal enemies.

Unfortunately, as Jian Cangfeng said, they lack the strength to intervene.

Yan Guilai then furrowed his brows, placing a hand on his sword and looking back.

Ten feet behind them, not only was the Great Black Sky Rijialuo seated there, but also the Nine-tailed Demon Fox Hu Xinmei had joined.

This person and fox seemed endless!

However, what puzzled Yan Guilai was that he found the two seemed to bear no enemy intent.

Why were they approaching? Did they think once the fight started, he would help them?

At this moment, Chu Yunyun was staring at Chu Xisheng.

She noticed Chu Xisheng was watching Ween Zhiyi, his gaze flickering with uncertainty.

Chu Yunyun's blue eyes revealed a hint of curiosity, "What are you thinking? Do you want to help her?"

"I'm torn," Chu Xisheng sighed lightly.

On one hand, he felt Ween Zhiyi's goodwill, quite fond of this One Sword Overturning City; on the other hand, he knew that if Ween Zhiyi was out, it would be great news for them.

"That's One Sword Overturning City, we needn't worry," Chu Xisheng finally shook his head, refocusing on the rotating stone pillar, "Let nature take its course; the priority now is to quickly master this Near-God Extreme Move."

According to Divine Turtle Wanderer's rules, whoever learns Wind Trace and obtains the Yin Order and Yang Order will qualify to pass this level. But he didn't specify that the final passing team must be twelve. Once a fight starts, we might find it hard not to get involved."

At the last moment, whoever first masters the Near-God Extreme Move 'Wind Trace' will probably initiate the combat, not allowing others the leisure to study this move.

At that point, a great chaotic battle is likely, and they may not have enough time to study this move 'Wind Trace.'

Chu Xisheng estimated that the teams passing this level might not even number five.

Meanwhile, at the mountain gate of Formless Divine Mountain in You State, two figures appeared.

One was dressed in a purple python robe, wore a nine-beam crown, and Cloud Head Shoes.

He appeared to be around sixty years old, with broad_features and a wide face, a nose like a hanging gall, dignified in appearance, and his physique was evenly balanced and sturdily built.

Their aura was extremely noble and imposing, standing in the void as if overlooking the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, with an overwhelming pressure that made all disciples in front of the mountain gate lower their heads slightly or turn their heads aside, not daring to look directly at him.

They immediately responded, glaring slightly annoyed at the newcomer, but then felt a stinging pain in their eyes and had to turn their gaze away again.

This sixty-year-old stalwart old man's vibrant Qi-Blood and powerful Divine Sense seemed like a vast sun, almost covering the entire waist of Formless Divine Mountain.

Most of the disciples of the Formless Divine Sect had already recognized this uninvited guest.

It was none other than the current second in the world, who had occupied the top of the Heavenly List for over two hundred years—the "Seven Generations of Shangfu" Dugu Shou!

Beside Dugu Shou stood an eunuch dressed in a First-grade Flying Fish Robe.

He appeared to be around seventy years old, with white hair, a dignified and thin face, and a body like a pine crane.

—That was the nineteenth on the Heavenly List, the Chief Eunuch of the Imperial Palace, Ben Yi Jue Chen Zong Qianliu.

Zong Qianliu, holding a dust whisk, stood half a step behind Dugu Shou, his waist slightly bent forward, "Grandmaster, the matter of Heaven and Earth Root is of great significance, and His Majesty has high expectations for it. Your actions today will render His Majesty's months of effort and countless resources and manpower into a waste. How should this humble servant explain to the Emperor?"
