Chapter 1603 Terrifying Opponent (2)
Buzz—
Yang Zhen's figure slowly appeared at the entrance of the tower. He looked around and saw Dong Xiu and the other three protectors of Xing Liuxian and Ling Zemin.
"Did we just fail?" Yang Zhen frowned deeply, trying to recall the memories of his time in the tower, but he couldn't think of anything. It seemed as though this particular memory had been deliberately erased.
"Yes, young master." Dong Xiu walked over and said. "No one here can remember anything inside the tower"
Yang Zhen looked around but couldn't find Ling Zemin and Xing Liuxian. He became angry immediately. "Don't tell me they beat the trials?"
Since he failed, it meant that he had to stay here forever. This was something he couldn't accept.
He glared angrily at Ling Chao and asked. "All of you must know how to beat the trials, right?"
Yang Zhen refused to believe that Ling Zemin had no idea about the trials. Perhaps the Everlasting Soul God Emperor didn't completely forget about the experience inside the tower and passed it on to Ling Zemin... It must be like this!
Ling Chao's face darkened as he countered. "Please use your head a little, Young Master Yang. Do you think we would be here if we knew it?"
"You!" Yang Zhen was so furious that he couldn't wait to start a fight.
Dong Xiu quickly stepped forward and restrained him. "Calm down, young master. There must be a way."
Although Dong Xiu knew in her heart that the chances of them leaving here were close to zero, she had to calm her young master down first. It would be unwise to engage in a fight with Ling Chao and the others here.
Buzz—
Suddenly, a bright white light flashed, and Shui Fang appeared at the entrance of the tower, capturing everyone's attention.
Seeing Shui Fang, Yang Zhen calmed down a bit. "You have also failed, Brother Shui."
Shui Fang frowned slightly and soon understood everything. It seemed that he had indeed failed to defeat the trials and had his memory erased.
He quickly checked his storage ring and discovered that all of his trump cards were missing. Obviously, he had used all of them inside the tower.
Yang Zhen seemed to think of something and quickly checked his ring. His face turned ashen when he saw that all of his life-saving artifacts were gone. He couldn't believe that he had failed to pass the trials after spending everything. This made his fury erupt again.
Shui Fang didn't say anything further and headed towards the group of Jiang Shuren in the far distance.
Dong Xiu and the others frowned slightly and soon discovered Jiang Shuren's group far ahead. What surprised them the most were Wan Mu and Yan Yin. How could they stay together with Jiang Shuren's group?
"Jiang Shuren, Kong Xun, and Yu Zhilan." Dong Xiu uttered in doubt. "Why did they come here?"
The three of them were the number one guardians of their own realms. It didn't make sense for them to come to the Sea of Stars. There must be something behind this.
"Let's go." Yang Zhen suddenly spoke and then followed Shui Fang.
Dong Xiu wanted to stop him, but it was too late. She could only follow suit.
Meanwhile, Ling Chao and the other two elders glanced at each other and chose to stay here, waiting for their young masters.
"Oh?" Yan Yin suddenly noticed Shui Fang approaching.
"He failed?" Jiang Shuren said in doubt.
At this moment, Shui Fang arrived and bowed respectfully. "Greetings, seniors. Unfortunately, I couldn't pass the trials."
"It's normal." Wan Mu said gently, inviting Shui Fang to sit down. "You don't have to worry about it. Perhaps there will be a chance to leave this place soon."
Shui Fang was taken aback and suddenly thought of Yun Lintian. Maybe he could create a miracle?
"Junior Yang Zhen greets Senior Pill Emperor." Yang Zhen arrived at the scene and respectfully greeted Wan Mu by cupping his fists. He chose to stay inside the light zone for his own safety.
"Little Girl Dong Xiu greets Senior Pill Emperor." Dong Xiu quickly followed.
Wan Mu nodded gently and said. "Looks like the other two are doing very well inside the tower."
Yang Zhen's heart was stabbed once again, but he didn't dare to show his anger here. He took a deep breath and asked. "Could there be another way to enter the tower again, Senior?"
Before Wan Mu could reply, Yan Yin suddenly spoke. "Another way? Are you stupid? Why would we be here then?"
Yang Zhen's expression turned ugly, and his entire body trembled. Although he had already expected this answer, he was simply unwilling to accept the truth.
"I understand your current mood, but you have to accept reality." Wan Mu comforted him. The Sun God Emperor could be considered as his acquaintance. It would be too heartless to say nothing.
Plop!
Yang Zhen slumped to the ground and stared blankly at the sky.
"Young master..." Dong Xiu was sad to see her young master in such a state, but she didn't know how to console him.
"Ling Zemin and Xing Liuxian must have a lot of life-saving means. It seems they came prepared." Shui Fang took a sip of tea and said.
Wan Mu expressed his opinion. "The Everlasting Soul God Emperor is likely to prepare everything for him. It's his son, after all. He wouldn't risk his son's life without any means."
"Moreover, the Everlasting Soul Art is unique in the world. I suspect that he could remember everything inside the tower."
Shui Fang and the others were surprised.
"I knew it!" Yang Zhen suddenly said. His face contorted with anger. "He must have planned everything from the beginning, and we are mere cannon fodder for him. Ah! I want to kill him!"
"This will be a completely different thing." Kong Xun frowned deeply. "So, his goal is actually the relic of the Beyond Heaven King."
"Without a doubt." Jiang Shuren echoed. "We were too late to catch up with him. Otherwise, we could stop him."
Shui Fang inadvertently glanced at Wan Mu and wondered why Wan Mu had let Ling Zemin go in the first place.
Wang Mu took a sip of tea and said, with a faint smile. "Do you think it's easy to take the relic away? If you think so, you greatly underestimate the Beyond Heaven King."
Shui Fang and the others were surprised to hear this.
Wan Mu gazed at the towering tower and said. "Let's wait and see."

At this moment, Yun Lintian stood in front of a bronze door, his expression solemn. He took a deep breath and pushed the door open...
