Chapter 451 - 450, deduction
Seeing Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen halt at the seventieth floor, Elder Beishan grew worried. He had entered the Jiuling Tower himself, and it was at the seventieth floor that he had been transported out. The most terrifying thing on the seventieth floor was not the pushing force, but rather the dense and intense killing intent.
"It seems they’ve stopped here," Elder Qing Ye scoffed coldly. She had never thought highly of Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen.
"Not till the end, will anyone know the outcome," Elder Beishan replied, casting a cold glance at Elder Qing Ye, making no effort to conceal his discontent. If Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen were to reach the top of the tower, they might have a chance to break through the barriers of the world, which would be advantageous to them all.
They had been here for thousands of years, and if they couldn’t ascend, once their time was up, no amount of reluctance would change their fate. This was also why they decided to open the Jiuling Tower.
"Elder Beishan, do you have a problem with me?" Elder Qing Ye, already irritated and unable to control her anger at the look from Elder Beishan.
"If that’s what you think, there’s nothing I can do," Elder Beishan responded, now growing angry himself. Initially, he had considered Elder Qing Ye quite sensible, but now his impression of her had entirely changed.
"Have our thousands of years working together been in vain, to be inferior to two juniors?" Elder Qing Ye trembled with rage. Now, she truly wished she could kill Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen herself—as it was because of them that she and Beishan stood in opposition.
"Do you not remember why we opened the Jiuling Tower this time?" Elder Beishan asked with a hint of disappointment in his eyes. He supported Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen, not for any reason other than the hope that they might break the barriers of the world and ascend to the Immortal World sooner.
"Of course I remember, but I don’t believe that Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen are the ones to break the barriers of the world. Their strength is decent, but their character seals their destiny—they are unlikely to achieve greatness," Elder Qing Ye said, filled with disdain for the two.
"Elder Qing Ye, Elder Beishan, please calm down."
"Yes, it’s not worth falling out over two juniors," someone nearby interjected, unable to watch silently any longer.
