Chapter 547: Chapter 324: The Collapse of Jieyou Tower, Dragon Heart’s Nine Apertures, Wen Caishang’s Trail, and Cursing the Bitch (4)

"He Wentian first strengthens the alliance, increasing his reputation in Jianghu. Then he makes the female members of the Five Sects disappear, pinning the blame on the Flower Cage Sect. His next step is surely to eliminate the Flower Cage Sect, making a grand spectacle of it, thus gaining even greater fame!"

"Regardless of whether the female members are traveling or not, the Flower Cage Sect is a blight upon the world. His actions will surely be celebrated, and if he succeeds by chance, how could his reputation not soar?"

"The Five Great Sword Sects are each situated on separate high mountains, distanced from one another. Having formed an alliance already, they will inevitably use Flying Dragon City as a meeting point in the future."

"Thus, step by step... the Five Great Sword Sects will invariably become friendly with him! He has already earned the favor of the Five Great Sword Sects. At this time, his reputation is both good, and he has the support of the Five Great Sword Sects. Moreover, with the Five Great Sword Sects surrounding Flying Dragon City, a faint outer perimeter is formed. In organizing grand events in the future, seeking aid against enemies... there are countless benefits, and a subtle situation is forming!"

Wang Long, Lin Aoshan, and Han Qingshao all nodded repeatedly. Han Qingshao said, "Such brilliant strategy, Ao Shan should learn from this."

Lin Aoshan continually praised, "Little Immortal, you’re doing well! Last time you eradicated the Flower Thief, it was also thanks to your clever plan. It seems you have grown even more intelligent since we last met."

Li Xian said, "It’s only speculation. But if He Wentian has ambitions of domination, he must have such a plan."

Wang Long admired, "Brother Li, with such talent and learning, it’s such a waste for you to be a Flower Thief!" Li Xian said, "There are hidden matters behind this; it’s hard to explain."

Han Qingshao said, "If that’s the case, why haven’t you fled yet?"

Lin Aoshan said, "Indeed, City Lord He should be wishing for you to escape." Li Xian nodded, "He should indeed put on a grand show, promote the big drama, win the favor of all the Sword Sects, definitely wouldn’t suddenly disappear. Yang Xin with his Spear Technique is in charge of catching the thief, fully taking the spotlight."

Li Xian said, "If my guess is correct, he might have run into some trouble and is too busy to deal with anything else."

Han Qingshao said, "Alright! We will need to investigate to find out." He took out a gold disk and said, "This item was gifted by the Star-picking Bureau." He did not elaborate further, only fiddling with the gold disk.

The gold disk contained countless engraved texts inside, making its operation extremely complex. After observing it for a while, Li Xian felt dizzy. Han Qingshao quickly reminded, "Brothers, don’t look, this holds endless calculations, and those who do not understand might risk their lives by watching its movements."

Li Xian said, "Let’s search around all over and see if there are any clues!" They scattered to search various places.

After fiddling with the disk for a moment, Han Qingshao suddenly said gravely, "Ah! Beneath this place, there is indeed a burial site. This tomb’s terrain is the ’Nine Orifice Dragon Heart Acupoint.’ This is one of the orifices, originally a large deep pit, but it was sealed by Jieyou Tower. Beneath it lies the grand tomb."

Li Xian asked, "Is there a way to enter?" Han Qingshao said, "It’s difficult, Jieyou Tower’s mechanisms are complicated, even with the gold disk, I can’t figure out a bit of it. If we want to enter the tomb, we need to find the other orifices of the Nine Orifice Dragon Heart Acupoint. However, the remaining nine orifices are likely outside the city."

Li Xian pondered, "Is there really no way to proceed?" Han Qingshao said, "Unless Jieyou Tower collapses, but how could that..."

Just as he was speaking, they suddenly felt the building shake. Han Qingshao immediately took out the gold disk, quickly fiddling with it, and said in astonishment, "The Nine Orifice Dragon Heart Acupoint... the orifice is shifting, and it seems to be... man-made, oh! Jieyou Tower is really going to collapse now."

A redwood beam crashed down from above. Li Xian dodged sideways, seeing the building vibrating violently, lampstands toppling, jade tables shattering, dancers fleeing in panic, red silk snapping... all these changes occurred in just an instant.

Li Xian moved with agility, suddenly noticing Lin Aoshan’s Martial Arts were slightly weaker, about to be crushed by a wooden beam. Wang Long and Li Xian simultaneously rushed to rescue. Wang Long, being slightly closer and adept in Lightweight Skill, leaped forward with a sword strike. His Inner Qi surged, the sword Qi roaring like waves.

However, Jieyou Tower’s entire structure was sturdier than black iron, unfazed by fire, unbreakable by blades, and extremely dense. Although Wang Long’s sword reached first, leaving a deep mark on the beam, it ultimately couldn’t resolve the situation.

Just as Lin Aoshan and Wang Long both felt despair, they saw a silver spear thrust forward, evoking the presence of a dragon’s roar with the ferocity of a ghostly python. Its unmatched power smashed the beam into splinters, wood chips scattering everywhere.

Seeing Li Xian’s silver spear emerge from his sleeve, his strength was shocking! Wang Long, Lin Aoshan, and Han Qingshao were all full of awe, secretly thinking, "What a young hero, what a valiant hero!"

Li Xian whirled his spear technique, the spear tip encased in an invisible "Pure Gang Qi Clothing," sweeping and shaking to push away all surrounding debris. His spectacular move stunned them all.

Li Xian said, "Be careful! This timber, none of it is ordinary, heavier than iron and stone!" Wang Long gratefully said, "Brother Li, thank you!"

Lin Aoshan exclaimed with joy, "Great! You’ve grown even more powerful!" She held her ground without retreat, pulling all her strength to resist. As the gigantic wood fell, the ground suddenly made a thudding sound, revealing a large pit in the center of Jieyou Tower.

Li Xian, Lin Aoshan, Wang Long, and Han Qingshao all fell into the pit together. It was pitch black around them, only feeling their bodies falling. Li Xian opened his Heavy Pupils, observing the three’s conditions, all employing Lightweight Skill to slow their descent, unharmed.

Suddenly, Li Xian vaguely heard a roar echoing from the deep pit, full of anger yet seemingly helpless: "Wen Caishang! Bitch! Bitch! Bitch!" It seemed to come from He Wentian.
