Chapter 13686: Star Picking Tower Crisis

"Hahaha, this Zhenling Mansion Holy Temple is not that great. With such strength, kill them!" The warrior stood on the high platform of the Zhaixing Tower. The strong wind blew his clothes wantonly, making a rustling sound. His laughter was like a huge bell, echoing wantonly above the bloody battlefield.

He swung the long sword in his hand, his eyes full of disdain and murderous intent, and his attack became more and more fierce. Sharp sword lights slashed towards the people in the Zhenling Mansion Holy Hall like lightning. Wherever they went, the air was torn apart, making a shrill scream.

In the Zhaixing Tower, shouts of killing shook the sky, warriors shuttled through the blood mist, and sparks from the collision of weapons flashed from time to time. Xiao Yihang was in the middle of the battle, his face was solemn, and he did not dare to be careless at all.

The performance of the Zhenling Mansion Holy Hall at this moment was indeed as the laughing warrior said, it seemed vulnerable and was retreating step by step. However, Xiao Yihang's eyes were fixed on the calm high priest in the distance, thinking in his heart that things must not be as simple as they seemed.

This high priest has always been shrewd and calculating. How could he easily let the Zhenling Mansion Holy Hall fall into such a desperate situation? There must be some ulterior motive hidden in it. However, this is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we can take advantage of this opportunity to wipe out the living forces of the Zhenling Mansion Holy Hall in one fell swoop, then many subsequent matters will naturally be much easier.

"Kill!" Xiao Yihang's mind turned, and he made a prompt decision. He waved his hand with a thunderous sound. In an instant, the warriors of Zhaixing Tower seemed to be injected with a powerful force, and their offensive suddenly became more fierce.

They pounced madly towards the camp of the Zhenling Mansion Holy Temple like tigers descending from the mountains. For a moment, the flashes of swords and the sounds of shouting and screaming were intertwined. Under this fierce attack, the people of the Zhenling Mansion Holy Temple had no power to resist and could only retreat step by step. Their defense line was torn apart bit by bit.

Around the battlefield, those forces that originally had ill intentions and were planning to take advantage of the situation all stopped and watched from afar. They had originally planned to take advantage of the fact that the battle between the Zhenling Palace and the Zhaixing Tower was in full swing and both sides were suffering, and fish in troubled waters to gain some benefits.

But they never thought that the Zhenling Mansion Holy Hall was so vulnerable, and faced with the attack of the Zhaixing Tower, it had almost no power to fight back. This made them murmur in their hearts, in this situation, it was really not easy to take advantage.

If they were not careful, they might be dragged into this melee and end up losing more than they gained. So, they all chose to stay put, quietly waiting for the further development of the war, their eyes full of hesitation and wait-and-see.

"Hmph!" The high priest had been watching the battle coldly, but now he could no longer sit still when he saw the situation in the Zhenling Palace Holy Hall was in danger. He snorted coldly, his voice was low and cold, as if it came from the Nine Nether Hell, making people shudder.

He flashed and shot towards Xiao Yihang like a black lightning, blocking his way in an instant. The high priest knew that the only way to survive was to delay Xiao Yihang.

Xiao Yihang was too strong. When a Star Realm expert faced a Bao Yuan Realm expert, the difference in strength was like heaven and earth, just like an adult facing a child. He had an absolute crushing advantage. Looking at the entire Zhenling Mansion Holy Hall, he was the only one who could barely resist Xiao Yihang.

When Xiao Yihang saw the high priest taking action personally, he couldn't help but feel a complex emotion in his heart, including excitement about the battle, but also a hint of unspeakable regret.

His thoughts couldn't help but drift back to the past, the former Zhaixing Tower. It was so glorious and famous that it was enough to compete with the Qin family of Dongzhou. It was also a well-known existence in this vast world.

But now, looking at the Zhaixing Tower in front of him, the talents are dwindling and the strength is not as good as before. He knows very well that if a sect cannot produce geniuses continuously, then it will decline sooner or later. This is a natural law that all things in the world cannot escape.

But even so, as a member of Zhaixing Tower, he must not give up easily. In today's battle, he must try his best to fight for a glimmer of hope for Zhaixing Tower.

But thinking about it carefully, their Zhaixing Tower seemed to have fallen into an extremely strange situation. Since the current generation of the tower owner took office, the geniuses in the tower who were once as bright as stars were actually cursed.

Every genius who is just beginning to show his talent and is about to take off always fails inexplicably at a critical juncture in his growth, just like a budding flower that dies quietly before it has a chance to bloom with brilliant colors.

Whether it was God's will or an invisible, malicious black hand behind the scenes, no one has figured it out. This phenomenon, like a heavy boulder, weighed on the hearts of every Star Picking Tower member, making them breathless.

Thinking back to the past, the Star Picking Tower was so glorious. At that time, the Star Picking Tower was full of powerful people, with a profound foundation and a reputation that was as famous as thunder. In their eyes, the Zhenling Mansion Holy Hall was just an ant-like existence, and they didn't even have the courage to shout.

Even the powerful and awe-inspiring Holy Temple of the Dazhen Dynasty had to think twice before confronting the Zhaixing Tower, and dared not easily engage in battle or make an enemy. However, time flies, and the world has changed dramatically, and the current situation is really regrettable.

Now, even the Zhenling Mansion Holy Hall was unable to suppress the Zhaixing Tower. In this battle, its own weakness was exposed to everyone without reservation. Xiao Yihang knew in his heart that even if they managed to repel the Zhenling Mansion Holy Hall this time, the Zhaixing Tower would definitely have a hard time in the future.

The glory and splendor of the past have now faded away like a dream. In the past, the Zhaixing Tower, relying on its powerful strength and proud backbone, did not bother to use those conspiracies and tricks to weaken the Demon Tower and the Righteousness Hall.

In their eyes, competing fairly is the sign of a strong person.

But things are different now. In order to have a chance of survival in this cruel world, the Zhaixing Tower has to humble itself and resort to those dirty methods that they once despised. It is a tragedy, a helplessness that makes one smile bitterly.

But no matter how ridiculous or sad it all seems, they have no way out and can only grit their teeth and keep fighting.

Because they know very well that once the Zhaixing Tower is destroyed, they and other members in the tower will be like rootless duckweed, without protection, and in this world where the strong prey on the weak, they will have no chance of surviving.

The high priest of the Zhenling Palace Holy Hall stood in front of Xiao Yihang like a towering mountain. His powerful strength made Xiao Yihang almost breathless. Under the high priest's overwhelming attack, Xiao Yihang retreated step by step, and every time he resisted, it seemed so strenuous.
