The Young Master Storms the City
Chapter 859: Did you all challenge Kunlun before?

Chapter 859: Chapter 859: Did you all challenge Kunlun before?

Even Ning Fan, who was usually nonchalant, couldn’t help but feel surprised when he heard this.

All these tower guardians were defeated by Kunlun?

He pondered for a moment and frowned, "Did you all challenge Kunlun before?"

The tower guardians nodded with a wry smile, "That’s right, back in the day, we were martial artists of the Secular World, and after cultivating to the peak, we felt that there were no more rivals in the world, and so we thought of breaking free from the shackles. We brazenly decided to challenge Kunlun."

As the tower guardians narrated, Ning Fan gradually learned what had happened in the Martial Dao World of the Secular World that year.

The top martial artists in the world all knew more or less about Kunlun.

This group of tower guardians were the top martial artists from the Secular World at that time.

Back then, they all considered themselves invincible in the Secular World, so they started collecting information about Kunlun everywhere.

Each of them had their own exceptional means, and they quickly found numerous clues about Kunlun.

Confident and arrogant, they believed they were unbeatable and decided to force their way into Kunlun.

"The final result... you all know what happened."

The tower guardians glanced at the two companions behind them, their expressions becoming even more bitter.

"You failed, and were even subdued by Kunlun to become the guardians of this tower," Ning Fan continued for them.

The tower guardians nodded, their eyes filled with a hint of melancholy, "In the Secular World, reaching the Transcendent Realm meant you were among the top martial artists, but the powerhouses in Kunlun were even stronger than us."

"Did you enter Kunlun?" Ning Fan’s curiosity intensified.

Kunlun was so mysterious that the powerful families of Capital City sought connections with it, and these strong individuals were eager to get closer to it.

He really wanted to know what the situation was like inside Kunlun.

However, the tower guardians shook their heads, "We didn’t fully enter Kunlun; just a few powerhouses came out from Kunlun and defeated us."

In their words, the strength of those from Kunlun was no ordinary matter.

Even when they joined forces at the time, they couldn’t defeat those powerhouses.

"Only later did we learn that not only is the cultivation environment in Kunlun better, but the resources for cultivation are also more abundant. The Secular World simply could not compare with it."

"As time passed, our strength was naturally far inferior to theirs."

Through the words of the tower guardians, Ning Fan could sense that, even after such a long time, these guardians still held deep wariness towards the masters inside Kunlun.

"You must have sensed it, right?" the tower guardian pointed down to the three lower levels, "Those below weren’t very active in obstructing you. They’re confined here against their will, and actually, from their perspective, they are more hopeful that you can break through this tower."

"If you can save your father, then our continued stay here will be meaningless, and we can naturally leave."

Ning Fan nodded, saying solemnly, "Are the guardians on the upper levels like you?"

"The fourth, fifth, and sixth levels were once the top martial artists of the Secular World, but it’s not the same for the very top level," the tower guardian said gravely, "The guardian of the highest level is someone we have never seen. We only know that he is the strongest guardian in this tower."

"If you want to break through this tower, you must get past him... only, his strength is very formidable."

"How strong?"

"At least the three of us are no match for him."

Hearing this, Ning Fan’s expression grew contemplative.

Three late-stage Transcendent Realm martial artists were not a match for that individual.

Could he be at the mid Transcendent Realm, or perhaps... the late stage?

Ning Fan believed his own strength was not weaker than that of the mid Transcendent Realm, but he had never faced a late-stage Transcendent Realm martial artist.

For a moment, he didn’t know what kind of strength the so-called late Transcendent Realm really possessed.

"I understand. Since all the seniors are saying so, I will certainly try my best to break through this tower!"

Hearing this, the three tower guardians all showed grateful expressions, then stepped aside to open up the path to the next level.

Ning Fan took a deep breath and moved towards the fourth level.

He had not expected that the tower would hold this truth.

"Kunlun really has a grand scheme, using so many Transcendent Realm powerhouses to guard their tower."

His curiosity about Kunlun deepened; if even Transcendent Realm powerhouses were easily defeated by Kunlun, what level of powerhouses did Kunlun possess?

As he pondered, he reached the fourth level.

In the center, a middle-aged man dressed in coarse linen clothes watched Ning Fan with a calm expression.

"You must be Ning Potian’s son, right? I didn’t expect you could defeat the guardians of the three lower levels and make it to me," the person said.

Thinking that he was also a senior defeated and imprisoned by Kunlun, Ning Fan responded with some respect, "That’s right, Senior."

However, the middle-aged man waved his hand, and a deep hatred filled his eyes.

"Don’t call me senior. Back then, Ning Potian defeated me, which led me to be troubled by inner demons and eventually lose to Kunlun. I haven’t settled things with him."

"It’s a pity that he’s now suppressed by the tower, and I can’t seek my revenge on him, so I’ll have to settle it with you."

Upon hearing this, Ning Fan was slightly taken aback, then his expression gradually calmed down.

"So that’s how it is. May I ask how much you know about my father?"

There were too many secrets surrounding his mother and father.

Having finally met someone who knew some inside information, he didn’t want to rush into a fight.

However, the middle-aged man just sneered, "What do I know? That bastard popped up out of nowhere, pinned me to the ground, and gave me a beating. I’m the one who wants to ask him what the hell!"

So you’re not actually acquainted with my father at all...

Ning Fan let out a sigh of regret, stopped asking questions, and stepped forward, "Come on then, by defeating you, I’ll be able to advance to the next level."
