The pressure from the Great Elder and others was overwhelming. The air seemed a little oppressive at this moment, and there was a tendency for it to liquefy faintly.
"So powerful! Is this the method used by the Sword Emperor master? I can't imagine how he did it."
Looking at the figure in front of them that was as motionless as a mountain, everyone else admired and respected him from the bottom of their hearts.
"Retreat quickly, this is something we cannot bear!"
The disciples nearby all felt tremendous pressure. If the elders had not specifically targeted the man in front of them, none of them present would have been able to bear it alone.
"Sure enough, I didn't expect you to be so impressive after not seeing you for a few days. Do you think you are just like this? Take this!"
The elders, led by the Great Elder and several others, were very unhappy with what the man in front of them did. This was a good opportunity for them to take advantage of it and attack him. Of course, they would not let the other party go and increased their output.
"Retreat quickly, retreat again..."
Everyone shouted loudly, fearing that they would be crushed to pieces if they ran a step slower.
Quantitative change led to qualitative change. At this moment, the air had become unusually sticky . Although I hadn't done anything, it felt like a mountain was pressing down on my shoulders, making me feel unusually depressed.
"Boy, don't force it. This is just a test. It won't cost you your life. Besides, they don't have the guts to do it. I'm here, so you should show weakness when you should back off. Do you understand?"
The third elder and the seventh elder were also among them. As the group supporting the eldest brother, they naturally did not target him. They were just pretending.
The Third Elder: "Boy, did you hear me? If you continue like this, you won't be able to hold on. You are right to listen to me."
With a look of appreciation for talent on his face, he secretly sent a message to the man in front of him, telling him to retreat when he saw difficulty.
Ye Xuan did not retreat but stepped forward under tremendous pressure, one step, two steps, three steps, and his forward steps did not stop.
"Good boy, good fight. I didn't expect you to be so stubborn. You are worthy of being the eldest brother's son."
The Third Elder's doubts were inevitably dispelled by the persuasion just now, and his face became full of anticipation.
"Second brother, a few days ago, a demonic aura rose to the sky from where you live. Although it was well concealed, it couldn't fool me. I want to see what you want to do. Why did you target me?"
Although seemingly a whole, each family has its own thoughts. The moment the Supreme Elder turned himself into a seal, the Ye family was already in a precarious situation. Just one opportunity would trigger an unpredictable disaster, and this opportunity was obviously about to come.
"Okay, I want to see how far you can go."
One step, two steps, until he reached dozens of steps and was only a few steps away from the elders, Ye Xuan stopped , held his head high, and looked at them.
"What right do you have to judge me? What relationship do I have with you? Why are you targeting me like this? You think you can defeat me with just a little bit of pressure? Obviously you think too much."
Ye Xuan faced the challenge head-on. Under the gaze of everyone, before anyone could react, a sword with a powerful aura appeared out of thin air in his hand.
"Sword coming."
He stood there, holding a sword in one hand, his sword creating a storm , his momentum rising with the wind, and facing the joint attack of everyone, he took it tough.

"What grade of sword is this? Who is he?"
The sword is three feet long, with obscure runes engraved on the blade, making it look like a living individual with extraordinary agility.
"Who is he? How come he has a holy sword? No, maybe it's of a higher grade?"
Looking at the opponent's momentum, there was a drastic change at the moment when the sword was taken out. The Great Elder and others were no longer as calm as before, and their expressions became serious.
"You are indeed strong, boy. This is your reliance, but it is still not enough."
The Great Elder, just now, was inspired by his love for talent and didn't understand why he had such an idea. But now he was also under someone's control and could only continue to embarrass the other party against his will.
Somewhere, a man was quietly watching everything happening in front of him, his face looking extremely sinister.
"Boy, weren't you very arrogant? Why can't you be arrogant now?"
Ye Tian's mentality has changed drastically since he was defeated in the last battle. After swallowing the Heavenly Demon Pill , his cultivation has recovered to a higher level. However, he is affected by his inner demons every moment, and his personality has also changed subtly.
"Father, please use the Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Seven Stars Demon Subduing Formation or let the other party enter the Ascension Tower?"
When the two sides were in a stalemate, Ye Tian's voice came to the ears of the great elder Ye Chonger.
"Father, don't forget that we are now two grasshoppers in the same boat. I have to endure the torture of my inner demon day and night, and you have to endure the torture of the Heavenly Demon Heartbreaking Pill. So we are all one and the same. Don't forget the mission that the adults have given us."
Ye Tian didn't say any extra words and directly pointed out the point. The other party shut up obediently, but was still indignant.
"Boy, do you think I need to teach you how to do things? None of this is caused by you, so this is the only way I can do!"
Of course, while showing appreciation, I would not admit defeat so easily and pretend to be stubborn.
"Boy, our test of you has just begun. If you have the ability, accept the test of the Ascension Tower. Do you dare?"
The Great Elder looked at the other party and stated his ultimate goal. Everyone was shocked when they heard it.
"Great Elder, do we really have to do this? He is just a person who made a choice at the wrong time and in the wrong place. Is it necessary to do this?"
"Second brother, don't forget our purpose. Is this too much?"
"Shut up! Have you forgotten that I am still the Acting Sect Master? Are you going to question my decision?"
The great elder shouted loudly, causing the entire audience to fall silent, and everyone shut their mouths obediently.
"Boy, you are not that old but your cultivation is so high. We have reason to suspect that you are a spy sent by the demons. In order to prove your innocence, you'd better make two choices. Choose one of them. Either accept the test of the Tiangang Big Dipper Killing Formation or accept the test of the Ascension Tower."
"Xuan boy, you must not be fooled by the other party. The Tiangang Big Dipper Killing Formation is the last resort of our Ye family to resist powerful enemies. Not to mention the Ascension Tower. If you go up there without knowing why, no one will say anything even if you die. It's really not worth thinking about it carefully."
The third elder secretly explained to him the interests involved in the matter and told him not to be easily fooled by the other party.
"Boy, let me ask you if you dare. Why are you so cowardly at this time? I think it's nothing more than that. In my opinion, we should all quickly activate the Tiangang Big Dipper Killing Formation and wipe out this spy from the demon clan."
After everyone heard what the Great Elder said, they all frowned. After all, this matter could be a big deal or a small one, not to mention when it involves the demon clan .
"Why not? Am I afraid of you? It's just the Ascension Tower, right?"
Ye Xuan was unmoved and made his own choice immediately. He apparently did not notice the barely perceptible smile on the corner of the Great Elder's mouth.
"Boy, you are still too young to think that you can choose between the two options. The latter option is easier, but it is actually the most dangerous. You will know it later."
"You are so brave, kid. I have to admire your courage. In that case, please follow me!"
Everyone and the ten elders came to a place where a tall tower rose into the clouds with no end in sight, looking extremely spectacular.
"Open the tower."
The ten elders each took out a token, activated their true energy, and emitted a dazzling light. Finally, a rune was formed and integrated into the Tower of Ascension. After a moment, a light gate opened.
"Boy, please come in. If you want to prove that you are not a spy of the demon clan, then come in!"
The Great Elder, in front of everyone, appears to be righteous and awe-inspiring, but in fact, he is extremely dark inside.
"I didn't expect to see the opening of the Ascension Tower again, and I didn't expect it to be in this way. I just don't know how far Xuan'er can go?"
The Third Elder and others, seeing that the First Elder's lineage was maliciously targeting him, could only give him a kind reminder. The other party turned around gracefully, waved at them, and walked directly into the light gate.
"Click."
The light gate closed directly , and soon after, a figure disappeared into it.
"Everyone, shall we all go? The opening ceremony of the Ascension Tower can last for seven days and seven nights. If he hasn't come out in seven days and seven nights, then there is only one possibility that he died in there. There is no need for everyone to wait any longer. Shall we all go?"
The Great Elder announced the decision, and everyone left the scene except for a few people who stayed behind to guard it.
"Kid, it's up to you..."
