Chapter 19: I Just Took a Nap, Why Are You All So Excited?

The Red Flame Tower was scorching hot.

Ordinary disciples could only cultivate in the first two layers, while elders could barely reach the fourth layer.

However, since a few years ago, even the sect leader could only reach the sixth layer.

Who could have broken through to the seventh layer?

The commotion and shouting woke up the entire Youming Sect, which had been in a state of deep sleep.

“Immediately summon all elders!”

Meng Yangqiu’s face was grave, as if facing a great enemy.

Within the Youming Sect, it was impossible for anyone to reach the seventh layer of the Red Flame Tower.

The only possibility was that someone had infiltrated the sect.

Meng Yangqiu’s mind was racing.

Was it the greedy Old Demon Hongshanor or someone under Empress Qingyue?

He felt a chill run down his spine.

The opponent had brazenly entered the seventh layer of the Red Flame Tower, and must have come prepared!

Now that the seventh layer’s legacy had been taken, the Youming Sect was in grave danger.

If there was any mistake, the sect might face extinction!

“I’ll go awaken the sacred beast, and all elders must quickly form an array.

This is a matter of life and death for the Youming Sect!”

Meng Yangqiu shouted to the crowd, then quickly flew off towards the back mountain.

The many elders immediately gathered, their faces grave.

The disciples were even more frightened.

Even the sect leader had to go to the back mountain to awaken the fearsome beast, Gu Eagle.

It seemed that the enemy they were about to face was truly formidable.

In the heavy atmosphere, some people were even trembling with fear, not daring to look at the Red Flame Tower.

However, some people steeled themselves and led the other disciples in a loud shout:

“I’m willing to die for the Youming Sect! After this battle, I’ll return home and get married!”

Many people were inspired and joined in the shouting:

“I’m willing to die for the Youming Sect! After this battle, I’ll return home and get married!”

The two elders stood before the disciples, their eyes fixed on the Red Flame Tower.

Magical treasures floated in the air, and the two elders’ white beards were trembling slightly due to their tension.

The other four elders quickly flew to the four corners of the Youming Sect.

“Array formation, activate!”

With a loud shout, four beams of light shot up into the sky.

In an instant, the already dark sky was filled with rolling clouds.

The clouds continued to gather, and soon the sky was completely covered.

Thunder boomed at the edge of the sky, filled with a sense of solemnity and killing intent.

The thunder was brewing in the clouds, like a wild beast waiting to pounce.

The wind howled, and the entire Youming Sect was filled with an eerie atmosphere.

The sect’s defensive array was a legacy from the ancestors, only to be used in times of great danger.

Even with the array activated, the elders did not dare to relax.

They had no idea how strong the enemy hiding in the Red Flame Tower was!

If they let their guard down, the Youming Sect might be destroyed due to their carelessness!

“Roar!”

Suddenly, a loud cry like a baby’s wail came from the back mountain, and a massive shadow was cast from the sky.

“Gu Eagle!”

All the elders and disciples looked up at the sky in fear.

The massive shadow was shaped like a giant eagle, but with horns and wings as hard as iron.

This strange beast was the legendary Gu Eagle, which had helped the Youming Sect establish itself and slaughtered countless cultivators from the Righteous Sect.

Even after sleeping for so many years, Gu Eagle’s aura was still intimidating, making people afraid to look directly at it.

Its strength was even greater than the sect leader Meng Yangqiu’s!

Many disciples had heard of Gu Eagle’s fearsome reputation, but had never seen it before.

Now, they felt both excitement and pressure.

Even the sect leader had to resort to awakening Gu Eagle, which meant the enemy’s strength was truly unpredictable.

A strong gust of wind swept through, and Gu Eagle’s massive body slowly descended before the Red Flame Tower.

The four beams of light condensed into a massive amount of spiritual energy, and the thunder boomed continuously.

The atmosphere was solemn, and many timid disciples trembled with fear, not daring to look at the scene before them.

The sect’s defensive array was fully activated, and the legendary Gu Eagle had been awakened.

However, Meng Yangqiu’s face was still grave.

When he had entered the sixth layer, he had almost been burned to death by the flames, and had barely passed the trial.

Who could have easily passed the seventh layer?

The sky was filled with thunder, and the air was thick with spiritual energy and killing intent.

A blue sword aura emanated from Meng Yangqiu’s body, and he looked up at the Red Flame Tower with a grave expression.

“Who are you? Since you’ve come to the Youming Sect to take our legacy, please show yourself. If possible, I still hope we can resolve this peacefully.”

Meng Yangqiu’s words were laced with deep fear.

All eyes were fixed on the Red Flame Tower.

Time seemed to have stopped.

The elders were tense, guarding the array, while many disciples trembled with fear, their faces pale.

“Thud, thud, thud.”

In the silence, footsteps echoed from within the Red Flame Tower.

Although the sound was faint, each step seemed to tug at the heartstrings.

The footsteps grew louder and clearer.

“Sixth layer.”

“Fifth layer.”

“Fourth layer.”

…

Countless eyes were fixed on the exit of the Red Flame Tower.

“Since you still refuse to respond, I have no choice but to fight with all my might to ensure the Youming Sect’s survival!”

Meng Yangqiu finally lost his patience and shouted:

“Activate the array! Today, everyone must fight for the Youming Sect’s survival!”

“Boom!”

Thunder boomed, and Gu Eagle’s eyes flashed with a cold light, its massive beak open wide.

The battle for the Youming Sect’s survival seemed about to begin, and many people were prepared to die.

However, in the midst of the killing intent, Nie Chen calmly walked out of the Red Flame Tower.

Looking at the scene before him, he was taken aback: “I just took a nap in the tower, what’s all the commotion about?”
