Chapter 76 - 74: The Eldest Apprentice Brother
The two opposing forces were drawn swords and bows, tension reaching a breaking point.
Just at that moment, the door of the Sky Tower creaked open.
Nobody paid any more attention to their situation; Ye Qiu and Qingling each maintained their vigilance. From the outside, the Sky Tower looked like a dark mass, and its purpose was not clear.
After a moment, some cultivator couldn’t restrain their curiosity and took the lead in flying into the Sky Tower. The rest waited for a moment and, seeing no abnormality, rushed in one after another, afraid to miss the opportunity.
Ye Qiu, Chen Qingchi, Shun Hua, Shun Ying, and the others flew in on their swords together. The group including Little Wood Spirit followed behind him, but for the moment, they did not make a move.
As soon as he entered the door of the Sky Tower, Ye Qiu felt himself being teleported out, companions no longer in sight around him.
The surroundings were foggy. There wasn’t a single cultivator here, but numerous skeletons were gathered around him. Perhaps having sensed the presence of the living, the skeletons all rushed towards him.
The skeletons lacked Spiritual Sense and acted purely on instinct. Ye Qiu found that some skeletons were grayish-white; a touch of Sword Qi would shatter them, and immediately other skeletons would devour their fluorescent green Soul Fires, causing those skeletons to become even whiter.
If he kept killing them this way, the low-level skeletons would decrease, but they might evolve into something even more powerful. Yet if he didn’t kill them, he couldn’t leave the first floor of the Sky Tower.
Ye Qiu had no other choice but to battle these skeletons.
