Chapter 1373: Chapter 200: Key of Darkness (Part 1)

The bright spots appearing on the first floor of Bahuang Tower, according to their different colors, symbolize the different beast clans among the Eight Beast Clans.

"I wonder who will be the first to come out this time," said the High Priest with a smile.

"In my view, it has to be either Young Clan Chief Hei Linlin or your closed-door disciple, High Priest. Both are like dragons and phoenixes among men and are sure to come out on top," Hu Qianqiu flattered from the side.

"Hu Qianqiu, even flattery needs a limit. Why do you have to boost others and undermine your own side? Don’t you want someone from the Sky Fox Tribe to emerge first?" Chief Lipa couldn’t stand Hu Qianqiu’s sycophantic face and retorted sarcastically.

"Those three yellow-haired girls aren’t anything to show off. How can they compare to the few Young Clan Chiefs?" Despite his words, Hu Qianqiu’s fox eyes kept darting to the Bahuang Tower, particularly to the white bright spot symbolizing Yun Sheng and others.

By this time, those twenty-odd bright spots had already begun to move.

Inside Bahuang Tower, Yun Sheng and others felt a wave of change beneath their feet. The square disappeared, and a vast space appeared in front of them.

As soon as they left the magic array, the magic array vanished.

For the next month, unless someone successfully passes through, everyone will have to stay within the tower.

Thankfully, everyone here possesses extraordinary skills; with the help of elixirs, not eating or drinking for a month is no big deal.

Compared to the grand exterior of Bahuang Tower, its interior appears rather simple.

Though there are no doors or windows, the tower is bright as if a Lighting Magic Array is perpetually operating.

Upon entering Bahuang Tower, Yun Sheng felt an illusion of being in the Magic Tower at the Royal Academy.

Because the spiritual power inside Bahuang Tower is much more abundant than outside, it must be due to countless years of nurturing imitation Eight Desolate Divine Artifacts within it.

"Is this tower really so large?" Lu Yunshuang opened her eyes and looked around. With more than twenty people in the tower, it didn’t feel crowded at all.

The others were also amazed, but Yun Sheng felt no surprise, noting that Bahuang Tower, like her Linglong Beast Tower, can freely expand or contract.

Though the trial hasn’t officially started, another conflict has sparked ahead of time.

Once the twenty-plus people entered the Beast Tower, they naturally dispersed and stood with their respective allied groups, cautiously guarding each other.

The High Priest had already explained the rules of the contest.

The first to obtain the Dark Eight Desolate Divine Artifacts will be the winner, but there are only eight artifacts, and with over twenty people, a fight to obtain the scarce artifacts is inevitable.

Especially towards the end, even among the same clan, a struggle for superiority would happen, forming alliances early aids in increasing trial success chances.

Particularly Qing Ya and Silver Roc, with the smallest numbers among them, would surely suffer if they don’t ally.

In terms of numbers, Black Qilin, Jiuluan, and Di Clan, the great beast clans, have five people each, giving them an advantage.

Zi from Di Clan moved beside Lu, resolving their previous rift.

Seeing Zi and Lu stand together, Bimong Tribe’s Young Clan Chief Rita’s expression dimmed somewhat.

Hei Linlin glanced at the three at the Beast God Altar, making her intentions clearly known.

The other two disciples of the Beast God Altar immediately caught on, moving to stand beside Hei Linlin and her group, but Ye Beiming chose to stand by Yun Sheng.

"Ye Beiming, you choose her? Do you believe I can kill her right now?" Hei Linlin expressed her dissatisfaction, having lowered herself to show goodwill, yet the man seemed unappreciative.

"You dare!"

Ye Beiming, Dugu Xiu, and Lu almost voiced simultaneously.

Their consensus left Hei Linlin stunned, then her face grew uglier.

She forgot how adept Yun Sheng is at using her charms, captivating these men completely.

"Young Clan Chief Hei Linlin, why not partner up with us?" Yu Shang, fond of Yun Sheng, especially seeing reincarnated Ye Xiu’s Ye Beiming focused only on Yun Sheng.

"What are you, to have the qualification to cooperate with me." Hei Linlin didn’t even look at Yu Shang, leaving Yu Shang embarrassed.

Hei Linlin detests the Sky Fox; to her, all Sky Foxes are no good, not forgetting how Yu Shang’s gaze constantly fell on Ye Beiming since entering Bahuang Tower.

"You!" Yu Shang flushed crimson in anger.

"Miss Yu Shang, if you don’t mind, you can join our group." Silver Roc had long envied Yu Shang’s beauty, using this opportunity to woo her.

Yu Shang’s betrayal surprised neither Yun Sheng nor Lu Yunshuang, both relieved the woman left early, avoiding a situation of backstabbing.

Bo Bo and Boss Peng Yu, as earlier discussed with Yun Sheng, didn’t acknowledge her, opting instead to temporarily join forces with the Bimong Tribe.

This way, the original nine factions divided into five groups: Black Qilin and Beast God Altar, Lu and Zi, Yun Sheng and Ye Beiming, Bimong and Hua Clan, Silver Roc and Yu Shang.

Once each tribe sorted their alliances, they began searching around, devising ways to ascend to higher levels.

"Strange, why are there no stairs upwards? Wasn’t there mention of Eight Desolate Divine Artifacts?" After circling the tower.

Yun Sheng also found it odd; she secretly scrutinized the Eight Desolate Divine Artifacts within her Beast Language Ring.

The six Eight Desolate Divine Artifacts showed no signs.

At this moment, Young Clan Chief Rita of the Bimong Tribe stepped on something, and a sound echoed in the tower.

The previously plain ceiling suddenly split open from the center, revealing a pitch-black starry sky above everyone.

"Look, there’s something up there."

Someone exclaimed loudly.

In the starry sky, numerous dots appeared after a gusty whistling sound, and everyone looked up.

"What is that thing?"

Like bats in the night or numerous moths, the starry sky in Bahuang Tower revealed countless keys, each bearing Magic Wings or Fighting Spirit Wings.

Upon seeing these keys, everyone was stunned.

These keys, in their sheer numbers and unique appearances, were unlike anything anyone had ever seen.

These winged keys must be involved with moving to the next level of Bahuang Tower.

"Haha, Young Clan Chief Lu, seems like even the heavens want to help us this time." Silver Roc was thrilled seeing the winged keys.

Although everyone here can manifest magic wings or fighting spirit wings, in terms of true agility, clearly, neither the bird clans Jiuluan nor Pengyu would be the match.

Those keys flying in mid-air appear quite small and are quick to react, making them difficult to capture.

"If you’re interested, you’re welcome to go ahead," Lu shook his head slightly.
