Chapter 055 - Going to the Next Level (1)

  Two days later, the Floating Fragrance Fest officially began.

  In order to support me, the Peanut Skin family also followed me to the venue. Along the way, Bai Guang Guang kept pestering me: ''Good master nephew, give me your piece of iron ticket for participation. The old man to participate, always more certain than you."

  I said in a bad mood: "In these two days, all your food and accommodation are paid by me. With your skills, it shouldn't be a problem to grab some money for an iron ticket." I found out that Bai Guangguang has to pay a lot of responsibility for the decline of the Weapons and Armour Sect, this old man is lazy and greedy for vanity, he has to go to the most expensive "Rose Pool" in the city to take a bath, and he also has to look for female goblins to massage him after washing. And then the big foundation handed over to the hands of such a guy, are going to lose a light, if not for the face of the peanut skin, I would not give a damn about him.

  Bai Guangguang exasperatedly said: "Robbing money? At the loss of your words! I am at least a generation master of the Weaponry Armour Royal School, how can I do such shameless things?" Grabbing the turquoise-eyed water cloud beast from Peanut Fruit, the faction held it with a smug look on its face.

  We walked towards the Piao Xiang River in the south of the city, where the Piao Xiang Fest was held, and a few miles away, we could smell a burst of sweet fragrance. A single osmanthus tree was surprisingly rooted in the river. Unlike Luoyang, the osmanthus trees here even had golden trunks, and the osmanthus blossoms were like strings of little golden bells, bustlingly blooming all over the branches. As the warm wind blew, the fine osmanthus flowers drifted down to the river surface and immediately lit up, turning into sparkling sparks splashing away.

  "This year's star osmanthus blossoms are so colourful." Moon Soul let out a low sigh.

  The venue was in chaos, crowded with human and demons watching the event. The yellow-robed Lion's Roar Secret Dao Sect, the red-robed Vajra Secret Dao Sect, and the Upside Down A Royal Sect were busy maintaining order. A huge pergola was set up by the river, with a sign saying "Participants please enter", and was surrounded by guards. I walked through the crowd and showed my iron ticket to a big man from the Vajra Mysterious Path Faction, who carefully inspected me and led me into the pergola, saying, "Please wait here."

  There were already nearly a thousand people in the pergola, all eyeballing each other like cockfighters. There were constantly contestants being led into the pergola, and I looked at the crowd of onlookers, secretly wondering if the three beauties would be inside.

  More than half an hour later, the heads of the Lion Roar Secret Dao Sect and the other three major sects appeared on the field, causing a burst of cheers from the crowd. The head of Lion's Roar Secret Dao Sect was a tall and fat old lady called Liu Hodong, the head of Vajra Secret Dao Sect, Weituo, was a pugnacious man, and the head of Upside Down A Royal Sect, He Ping, was the most comical, wearing a sheepskin jacket in reverse, holding a broken bushel fan, and bare a pair of dirty feet.

  Spitting out a mouthful of thick phlegm, He Ping was the first to speak: ''Welcome friends from all over the world to come to the Puffing Fragrance Fest, our three major sects are very happy. Why? Because we have a chance to earn your money."

  There was laughter all around, and Weiduo continued, "The rules of this Puffing Fragrance Extravaganza competition are the same as before, and three winners will be decided, with the prizes being the Fire Locust Wings, the Red Lian Grass, and the White Bone Worm Eggs respectively." Smiling, he added, "Unlike the previous Fragrance Festivals, the biggest prize this time is Sect Master He's daughter - one of the most delicate flowers in the Great Thousand City. From the three winners, the strongest one will be picked out again, and they will be able to marry the beauty!"

  "He Saihua! He Saihua! He Saihua!" The crowd cried out, and He Ping shouted strangely, "Girl, come out and show your face, don't make people wait and drool."

  "Don't shout!" In mid-air sounded a clear female voice, a green luan swept through the clouds, flew to. On the green luan rode a pretty girl with a yellow flower on her forehead, her ebony eyes turning in all directions, bold and spirited. The crowd immediately erupted in applause, but I don't care, compared to Gan Lime Zhen them, He Saihua's posture can be far from it.

  Liu Huo Dong fiercely yelled, "Cut the crap, I officially announce that the Puffing Fragrance Extravaganza will now begin! Light the white rhinoceros horn!"

  The crowd thundered with cries, and several yellow-robed dudes lifted out a large, curved, snow-white beast's horn, lit it, and threw it into the River of Puffing Fragrance. Immediately burst of brilliant light, burning rhino horn floating in the river, the colour of light flow, reflecting a transparent underwater. I was amazed to see a huge iron tower of pitch-black colour sunk under the water, entangled by water plants. At the three entrances of the iron tower, thousands of ghostly spirits roamed. Some of them were poisonous insects and monstrous snakes, some were half-human and half-beast, and some had white faces with no five senses, like a single wronged soul floating around.

  "Soul Suppression Tower!" Moon Soul muttered, a hint of a strange colour flashing in his eyes.

  Liu Huo Dong roared, "The three pieces of the lottery are placed at the top of the tower, and the one who gets the lottery and gets to the shore safely is the winner! However, the tower is littered with demonic beasts and evil spirits inside and outside, so if you can't do it with your magic power you should quit before it's too late, lest you give up your little life for nothing!"

  I just realised that the winner is the one who grabbed the lottery first, I thought it was a fight to determine the winner at first. It's funny to think that among so many participants, I'm afraid I'm the only one who knows nothing about the rules of the competition. Sweeping my eyes, I suddenly found Liu Cui Yu, he is also sandwiched in the participants, but his eyes are focused on the bottom of the river, did not notice me.

This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

  Across the chains, Peanut Fruit waved at me, "Big Brother Lin Fei will win!" Bai Guangguang rolled his eyes, "I think it's a sure defeat." Peanut Shell glared fiercely at Bai Guangguang and yelled at me, "Lin boy, fight for it, don't be dog-eared!"

  "What are you guys waiting for foolishly? Why don't you go down to the river and grab the treasure? If you're late, my daughter will run away with the white boy!" He Ping shouted strangely, and the crowd roared with laughter. More than a thousand participants showed their strange skills and rushed into the Piu Xiang River, hundreds of snow-white water waves splashed up high, unusually spectacular.

  The crowd was so large and courageous that they swarmed towards the pylons at the bottom of the river. I don't panic, I mix in, anyway, even if someone first, won the lottery, I can snatch them back.

  The iron tower was nine storeys high, in a weird triangular shape, with runes carved all over the flying eaves and corners of each floor. Three narrow entrances are located at the bottom of the tower, and the word "Soul Suppression" is engraved on the tip of the tower.

  Just swimming close to the tower, the evil spirit monsters swarmed towards the crowd, the two sides began a fierce melee, a moment of turbulent waves, blood splashing, the sound of killing deafening. Many participants were killed on the spot, and some simply fled. After I took a closer look, I found that these evil spirit monsters simply could not be killed. Obviously, they were split in half by a knife, but in the blink of an eye, they merged together again, and there was no blood on their bodies at all.

  Damn it, what kind of monsters are they? I didn't dare to be reckless, I first took a defensive stance, casting the Xuan Gui Secret Dao Technique, forming a spinning circle around me, once the evil spirits approached, they were immediately swept away by the Xuan Gui Qi Circle. At the same time, I activated the Puppet Demon Technique and transformed two puppet water figures on my left and right, closely following my side. Even if there were powerful evil spirits that forced their way into the Qi Circle, they were repelled by the watermen.

  "These monstrous evil spirits are all ghosts that cannot be transcended." Moon Soul suddenly said.

  I was stunned, "Don't all the ghosts in the Northern Realm eventually head to the Yellow Spring Sky?"

  "The Yellow Springs Heaven is indeed the final destination of the dead, but the Yellow Springs Heaven has an Underworld River, which occasionally floods with high tides, and at that time, ghosts crossing the river will be swept away by the tides and sent out of the Yellow Springs Heaven to become wandering ghosts that have managed to stay alive. It is said that there is a secret waterway at the bottom of the Piao Xiang River that is connected to the tributaries of the Underworld River, and it is not surprising that ghosts would appear here."

  "Could it be that you have also been to the Yellow Springs Heaven? How else would you know so clearly?"

  The Moon Soul was silent and didn't answer, saying after a while, "This Soul Suppressing Pagoda was built by Phantom ten thousand years ago to suppress and lock up ghosts that escaped the Yellow Springs Heaven. The iron tower was engraved with talismans and spells to form a Soul Suppressing Boundary, so that the ghosts would be trapped at the bottom of the Piao Xiang River forever, unable to go out and harm people. Unexpectedly, it has now actually turned into a competition venue for the Piao Xiang Fest."

  At this time, the contestants continued to die and injure themselves, and more and more people fled, while the number of elves and evil spirits did not decrease at all. As far as the eye could see, the remaining few hundred people were caught in a heavy siege of ghosts and were fighting to the death.

  A gorgeous blue light swept up violently, the sword qi tore through the water waves and dispersed a group of evil spirits, Liu Cui Yu's dual eyebrows shot out sword awns and rushed into the Soul Suppressing Tower in a head start. Immediately after, there are dozens of experts successively broke into the Soul Suppression Tower.

  I had to hurry, I took a deep breath, operated a secret Taoist technique called "Pure Yang Yan", and rushed towards an entrance. The Pure Yang Yan secret Taoist technique is based on the liver, refining the liver fire into a three-marshal fire to restrain the enemy, and I believe it should be effective against ghosts. An octopus-like evil spirit was guarding the entrance, with a head like a fence, eyes as black as a hole, and more than a dozen of turquoise tentacles hissing as they rolled towards me. I grunted lowly, Samadhi true fire sprayed out of the nostrils, purple-red flame immediately covered the ghost, "puff" sound, the ghost into a wisp of green smoke, the form of the gods are extinguished.

  I instantly rushed into the Soul Suppression Tower, and immediately heard a burst of ghosts crying and wailing. The tower was huge, the evil spirits were like a tidal wave, surging around from all directions, and those who went in were fighting on their own. I kept spewing out Samadhi Flame, burning them to scream and retreat in fear. With a point of my toes, following the spiral staircase, I rushed up to the first floor of the iron tower.

  "Whoosh!" A trace of shadowy cold air was like a cold arrow, shooting straight at my face like lightning. With a quick movement of my mind, the two puppet Water People crossed in front of me, blocking the blow for me. With a grunt from my nostrils, the Samadhi True Flame immediately burned this sneaky black stern spirit opposite me to death.

  The Xuan Gui Qi Circle flowed, spinning the dozens of evil spirits that surrounded me around, I didn't have the time to tangle with them, rushing up to the sky and leaping up to the third level.
