Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 1343 - 1328: Blocking the Way
"Shi Feng!" Feeling the emptiness of her right hand, Jiangg Ning was full of alarm. If Shi Feng were truly left alone there, who knows what unexpected events might occur!
Soon after, the world before Jiangg Ning's eyes gradually became clear.
"Roar! Rawr! Chirp! Rawr!" The roars of fierce beasts echoed into Jiangg Ning's ears.
Very quickly, Jiangg Ning recognized these roars as those of the Four Symbols Fierce Beasts. It seemed she had returned to the real thirteenth floor of the Mysterious Light Giant Tower.
Next, the world before Jiangg Ning's eyes became exceedingly clear, and four enormous, vicious fierce beasts appeared in her view. However, at this moment, her heart was preoccupied with one person: "Shi Feng!"
"I'm here!" At that moment, a young voice sounded behind Jiangg Ning. Upon hearing that voice, Jiangg Ning doubted whether she was hearing things or mishearing due to an illusion.
Suddenly turning around, Jiangg Ning saw that blood-colored figure. Who else could it be but Shi Feng?
Seeing Jiangg Ning looking over, Shi Feng gave him a faint smile.
Only then did Jiangg Ning let out a slow breath and say, "I thought you didn't make it out!"
Shi Feng maintained his calm smile and said, "Thank you for extending a helping hand to me at that crucial moment. If not for you, I might have indeed been left there forever, with unimaginable consequences!"
"It's good that you made it out." Jiangg Ning replied.
Then, she turned around and looked back at the familiar four Four Symbols Fierce Beasts and the bronze chariot behind them. At this point, Jiangg Ning's figure flickered toward the bronze chariot.
Seeing Jiangg Ning move, Shi Feng's figure also flickered, and soon, the two of them appeared atop the bronze chariot.
"Go down!" Jiangg Ning commanded the Four Symbols Fierce Beasts.
Under Jiangg Ning's command, the Four Symbols Fierce Beasts moved hastily, galloping toward the twelfth floor of the Mysterious Light Giant Tower.
Twelfth floor, eleventh floor... ninth floor... eighth floor!
When the Four Symbols Fierce Beasts brought Shi Feng and Jiangg Ning back to the seventh floor, the massive crocodile lying on the ground, as if in a deep slumber, slowly opened its lantern-like eyes.
However, upon seeing those four beasts even fiercer than itself, it quickly closed its slightly open eyes again.
In its heart, it thought, "It's those four fierce creatures again! Keep sleeping! Keep pretending to sleep!"
Seeing that crocodile, neither Shi Feng nor Jiangg Ning, nor the Four Symbols Fierce Beasts bothered with it. The four beasts pulled the bronze chariot and continued galloping downward. But upon reaching the sixth floor, the area was unexpectedly crowded with people.
It seemed that the ferocious giant crocodile on the seventh floor had blocked the way, causing all the martial artists to stop on this sixth floor, unwilling to leave just yet.
"It's the Jiangg Family's Four Symbols Divine Beasts! Master Jiangg, Master Jiangg and Shi Feng have returned!" someone shouted upon seeing the Four Symbols Fierce Beasts.
"Indeed, it's Master Jiangg and Shi Feng! They've finally decided to return!"
"Now that they've returned, doesn't it mean that the treasures above have all fallen into their hands? Damn it! Jiangg Ning and Shi Feng are truly greedy."
"Hmph! It's them! It's all their fault that we couldn't go past this floor!"
"Indeed! Selfish Jiangg Ning and Shi Feng, only caring about themselves and not considering others' feelings at all."
"Nobody back down, stick to what we agreed upon! Force them to hand over the treasures."
"Understood!"
"Roar, roar! Roar, roar, roar!" The Four Symbols Fierce Beasts, seeing these people blocking the way, immediately let out a series of roars, causing the space to shake violently.
"Alright, quiet!" Jiangg Ning spoke to the Four Symbols Fierce Beasts. Hearing Jiangg Ning's words, the beasts stopped roaring. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
Due to the crowded sixth floor, the Four Symbols Fierce Beasts and the bronze chariot were still positioned on the Mysterious Light Stairs. Standing proudly on the Mysterious Light Stairs, Jiangg Ning looked down at the crowd below and said, "Move aside, we need to go down."
As Jiangg Ning finished speaking, those noisy voices rang out again: "No, you can't go down yet."
"Exactly, you can't go down."
"Oh? We can't go down?" Hearing these words, Jiangg Ning's brows furrowed slightly.
Even Shi Feng, who was standing beside Jiangg Ning, gradually showed a cold expression on his face.
Then, someone below spoke up again, "Master Jiangg, you two just came back from the highest floor of the Mysterious Light Giant Tower. Surely, you must have acquired a lot of good things."
"Indeed we have good things," Jiangg Ning replied bluntly.
"Ah, I knew it, I knew there were good things."
"Of course, didn't you see there was such a ferocious giant crocodile guarding above? The fiercer the beast guarding, the more abundant and precious the treasure is."
Then, someone else said to Jiangg Ning, "Master Jiangg, here's the deal. Since both of you have acquired all the treasures above, it's only fair that you share some with us."
"Share with you?" Hearing these words, Jiangg Ning let out a cold laugh and said, "Why should we?"
Not only Jiangg Ning, but even Shi Feng, who had remained silent, seemed to have heard a huge joke.
They had no intention of sharing the Mysterious Light Ancient Word they acquired with these people. Shi Feng had almost been trapped forever in that hidden place for those ancient words.
"You acquired so many treasures while we got nothing, isn't it only right to share with us?" someone said, as if it was a matter of course.
Then, another person added, "I was originally following you, and if you hadn't left all of a sudden, I wouldn't have been scared back by that crocodile! If you hadn't done that, I might have acquired countless treasures by now."
"Me too! If you had taken me with you, I'd already be on the next floor by now."
"In any case, with you acquiring so many treasures, sharing with us is the right thing to do."
Continuously listening to these people's words, the cold smiles on Shi Feng and Jiangg Ning's faces grew wider. They spoke with such entitlement, it was simply shameless.
At this point, Shi Feng spoke coldly, "So, are you saying it's our fault you got scared back by that giant crocodile?"
"Of course it's your fault!"
"Exactly!"
"I was following closely, and you heartlessly abandoned me."
"Hmph, who do you people think you are? Why should we take you along? Why should we share what we worked hard to obtain with you? If you have the ability, go and get it yourself, and stop saying such disgraceful things here!"
"You..."
"You..."
"You..."
Hearing Shi Feng's words, many issued a "you," but they forcibly swallowed back what they wanted to say. This killing madman, Shi Feng, was unlike Jiangg Ning. If angered, he might kill on the spot.
The memory of Shi Feng slaying that giant Dark Thunder Dragon of the Three Divine Sects' inheritor was still vivid in many people's minds, and recalling it made them shudder.
