Chapter 286: Chapter 286: Breaking the Deadlock!

Ling Feng pursed his lips; it seemed that these seasoned A-class Disciples of the Inner Sect clearly knew the whereabouts of the Wind and Thunder Sword Tower, yet he had only perceived a vast lake.

"Hehe..."

Apparently, noticing Ling Feng’s confusion, Ye Nanfeng pointed to the large lake ahead and calmly smiled, "It looks like you really are out of the loop. The Wind and Thunder Sword Tower lies beneath this very lake. However, to enter the tower, one must first get past those monsters in the lake."

"Monsters?"

Ling Feng curled his lip and, with his right eye, the Heavenly Dao Divine Pattern converged, activating Unlimited Vision. Indeed, he spotted a multitude of demon beasts within the lake, and what was most exaggerated was that several of these demon beasts exhibited an aura that even reached the Demon Monarch level!

A Fifth-rank Demon Monarch level demon beast was tantamount to a human cultivator at the Divine Origin Realm—such a force to reckon with. If ensnared by them in the water, survival would be a miraculous feat.

"The little sister here is of modest strength, so please, the three senior brothers of the other academies, take the lead in scouting ahead."

Her voice was as gentle as it was beautiful, drawing the gazes of the crowd. Amid the ranks of Wenyuan Academy stood a strikingly beautiful woman, towering and slender with a delicate waist, truly a peerless beauty.

This young girl was none other than Chu Bingyun, the top-notch personage of the Inner Sect members of Wenyuan Academy.

Although this woman appeared frail at first glance, to outshine so many talents of Wenyuan Academy, she was clearly no ordinary individual.

Hearing Chu Bingyun’s words, Jun Moxie and the others couldn’t help but reveal a trace of a sneering smile.

To underestimate Chu Bingyun for being a woman would be a fatal mistake!

Imperial Chu Family, the Demoness Ice Cloud!

Such a resounding name within the Empire was known to all, unmistakable to any.

Chu Bingyun, being a few years older than Lee Bufan, had garnered a reputation far louder than that of the "Little Sword God."

Naturally, within the Empire where talents and anomalies were abound, whether it was the Demoness Ice Cloud or the Little Sword God Lee Bufan, neither could overshadow the name of "Empire Legend" Yaan Jinghong!

The mere mention of Yaan Jinghong represented a target pursued by countless talents; alas, they could only follow in his wake.

"Why would Miss Ice Cloud be so modest?" Li Yunlong of the Sea Blue Academy shook his head and turned his attention to Jun Moxie and Du Shaoling, smilingly inquiring, "Being of limited intelligence and learning, I must ask you two, do you have any strategies?"

"Humph, pushing back and forth; isn’t it just that no one wants to take the risk of being the first to dive in?" Du Shaoling folded his arms across his chest and coldly snorted, "I’m not that stupid to be such a sacrificial pawn!"

Jun Moxie remained silent, but he stood in place, showing no indication of volunteering to be the first to advance.

Ling Feng raised his eyebrows. None of these people were willing to suffer a disadvantage, and it seemed this deadlock would be hard to break.

At that moment, a True Dragon Academy student could no longer restrain himself and bellowed, "You bunch of hypocrites, if you’re afraid of death, just say it outright. I refuse to believe this curse. Humph, Wind and Thunder Sword Tower, I’ll be the first to break in!"

With that, he brought out a treasure-level sword to bombard the lake with.

One saw a dim light flash, and the reckless True Dragon Academy disciple spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and was sent flying backward.

"If you want to die, I have no objections, just go somewhere else to do it."

The person who had taken action was Du Shaoling from the True Dragon Academy. Such recklessness from the man could have triggered the monsters in the lake, the consequences of which were unimaginable.

He was indifferent to his own death, but Young Master Du didn’t want to be implicated because of it.

The disciple from True Dragon Academy frowned tightly, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said, "Senior Brother Du, I, Chen Boguang, have taken note of this vendetta. You better be careful in everything you do, lest you die out there."

Chen Boguang’s family also possessed some power in the Imperial City and their status was not inferior to the Du Family, so he also had his own confidence, not afraid even if he couldn’t defeat Young Master Du.

But Young Master Du didn’t care in the slightest, raising his eyebrow and dismissing the concern, "Whatever suits you!"

Everyone saw this exchange and began to whisper among themselves, indicating that there were also rifts within the True Dragon Academy.

However, this minor drama was not taken seriously by anyone. The opportunity presented by the Wind and Thunder Sword Tower was immense, a significant stroke of luck. Figuring out how to enter it was the top priority.

After a long silence, someone finally broke the stillness, a student from Sea Blue Academy called out loudly, "Fellow brothers and sisters, just standing here isn’t going to make the Wind and Thunder Sword Tower rise out of the water, right? How about we all work together to channel our True Qi to move this lake’s evil energy-infused water elsewhere, what do you say?"

"Right, that’s a good idea," someone immediately agreed.

"Are all people from Sea Blue Academy so blockheaded?"

A student from True Dragon Academy said disdainfully, "To move such a huge lake, not to mention whether you have that vast amount of True Qi, what about the monsters in the lake? Will they just quietly let you relocate them?"

"You!" The student from Sea Blue Academy was at a loss for words, realizing his thoughts were indeed too whimsical.

"Hmph! If my method doesn’t work, then what’s your grand plan?"

"Humph, wouldn’t you like to know, I actually do have a plan!"

That student from True Dragon Academy rolled his eyes slyly and said with a wicked smile, "You see, with your pig-brained ideas, there’s hardly any hope of success. Why not dive in and attract the monsters in the lake? Lure one or two monsters at a time, and with all of us here focusing our attacks, we can then eliminate the monster instantly. To my knowledge, the monsters here are at most early stage Fifth-rank Demon Beasts. With over thirty of us attacking together, we can certainly kill it in an instant."

Young Master Du’s eyes flashed, and he nodded slightly, "That’s actually a good idea!"

Saying so, he turned his gaze to Chen Boguang, sneering, "Junior Brother Chen, you are already injured and unable to exert your full strength, so let me not bully you. You’ll be the first to attract the monster. Everyone here listen up, besides me, Miss Chu of the Ice Cloud, Brother Li Yunlong, and that Jun Moxie, the rest of you will take turns going down to attract the monsters. How about it, no objections, right?"

After speaking, Young Master Du glared fiercely, emitting an incredibly overwhelming aura, which made some of the students with lesser foundations struggle to breathe.

This Young Master Du truly saw himself as the dragon head boss, but his proposal did indeed make some sense.

At least, Ice Cloud, Li Yunlong, and Jun Moxie would have no objections.

With the tacit approval of these big shots, the plan was naturally as good as passed.

"Why should I go first?" Chen Boguang cursed, "Young Master Du, by what right do you command me!"

"Waste of space, if you don’t have the right to speak, then because I’m stronger than you," Young Master Du proudly declared. "Of course, you can choose to leave now. I won’t stop you."

"I... I’ll go then!"

Chen Boguang was so oppressed by Young Master Du’s invisible aura that he almost crumpled to the ground, finally conceding.

To give up on the Wind and Thunder Sword Tower and return home?

Hmph, that was absolutely impossible!
