earn merit points.”Seemingly afraid the other party wouldn't believe him, he directly held up the medal of achievement in his hand. The long string of numbers on it made one's eyes dizzy.“This...”Ever...Before them stood a trio from the Valley of Desolation. Besides Yi Luo Xiang, there were two other middle-aged women.

These two people are both powerful figures under a hundred years old from the Valley of Ruthlessness. In terms of seniority, they are on the same level as Jue Ran.

One named Jueyou and the other named Jueku, both were powerful figures in the middle stages of Mahayana.

As for their looks, they bore a striking resemblance to Jue Ran. Though beautiful in appearance, their faces seemed like wooden carvings, devoid of any expression.

The three of them were moving forward slowly now, Jueyu and Jueku flanking Yieroxiang, each with a long sword in hand.

And as for Luo Xiang, she held a seven-stringed qin in her hands, her fingers nimbly dancing across its surface, sending ripples of sound into the air.

This piano is like a radar wave; it senses any abnormalities.

Suddenly, her expression shifted slightly. Then, she pressed her fingers heavily on the strings, sending a wave of sound like a sword directly towards the left front.

"Pffft!"

After a dull thud, several black feathers fell. It was clear that while the attack had hit its target, it lacked the power to deliver a fatal blow.

I only managed to knock off a few of the ghost hawk's feathers, it didn't hurt it at all.

And at this very moment, Jue You and Jue Ku's swords in their hands both slashed towards that position. The gigantic sword glows emanated with immense pressure.

But he missed, obviously the cunning ghost owl had already changed positions.

Although they didn't succeed in killing him, they did eventually discover his presence and were not attacked.

Then the seven-stringed qin in Luo Xiang's hand sounded again, its music like radar waves sensing the surrounding movements.

They made their way this way, though it was far less efficient than Ye Bufan's life detector. Nevertheless, it still worked.

But not far from them, three people were moving slowly forward.

Although they are men, they dress flamboyantly, looking more flamboyant than women. They are three people from the Huajiang School.

One of them was Hua Ruyu, whom we had met before. The other two looked much more mature. One was Hua Xieyu, and the other was Hua Feixue.

Both of them are elites of the Huajian School under the age of a hundred, powerful figures in the middle stage of Great Vehicle.

The continuation of this style is the same, a man who is more alluring than women, and his name is as unique.

At this moment, Hua Feixue continuously scatters petals from her hands. Under the control of her true energy, those petals dance in the air like snowflakes.

Every time it fell, he would draw it back into his hand and scatter it again, a repetitive cycle.

His true essence was immensely powerful. These petals were enough to cover an area of a hundred meters in radius. Their effect was identical to Iro's fragrant melody, both serving to detect the hidden locations of the ghost owls.

Hua Ru Yu and Hua Xie Yu stood on either side, each holding a long sword, their eyes alert for any movement. They were ready to strike immediately if anything happened.

Seeing these two teams, Ye Bufan couldn't help but nod secretly. These major sects indeed had their own unique features. They were able to enter the sixth floor directly with this method.

And it's clear that if they keep going like this, they're bound to find the entrance to the seventh layer.

At the same time, the two squads also spotted their arrival, and Yiluo Xiang, while playing the qin, looked over.

When he saw that it was Ye Bufan, a flash of surprise crossed his eyes before quickly returning to indifference.

Absolute Joy and Absolute Suffering were both shocked. They hadn't expected this young man to be able to come here, and to look so relaxed and casual, as if he were strolling in a garden. This clearly surprised them.

But they still maintained their cold demeanor, though curious inside, they didn't utter a word of inquiry and continued to walk slowly forward.

"Hey man, didn't expect to run into you here again. You really are the kind of guy people have their eyes on, no ordinary fellow."

Hua Ru Yu, upon seeing them, was first shocked, then her face lit up with excitement, her voice becoming increasingly sweet and alluring.

Although he had already seen him like this, Ye Bufan still felt a chill run down his spine.

A man behaving like a woman, and he can't adapt to it no matter what.

"Hey, what do you have in your hands Did you bring that here with you"

Huaruyu's gender was somewhat ambiguous, but their mind was incredibly sharp, and their gaze was piercing. At a glance, they could tell that the life detector in his hand was no ordinary object.

This is my magic weapon.

Ye Bufan didn't want to explain too much, he just casually replied.

"Brother, you really always surprise me."

Seeing that he was unwilling to say more, Hua Ru Yu did not press him further and continued, "Young Master, our meeting here must be fate. Why don't we form a team of three"

After all, there's strength in numbers. Working together makes it easier to reach the seventh layer.

Before Ye Bufan could speak, a cold voice immediately came from Jueqing Valley.

We don't need it.

"Oh, what a lack of charm! She's a woman but acts like a log, utterly lifeless and boring."

Hua Ru Yu, pinching a flower delicately between her fingers, gave the other side a disdainful glance. Then, she turned her gaze to Ye Bu Fan with a seductive smile.

"Hey brother, ignore those old women with no taste. How about our two families join forces"

"This... let's just forget about it."

If Luo Xiang joins, Ye Bufan might consider it, but if he teams up with just these non-male and non-female guys, he would get goosebumps all over his body just thinking about it.

"Our team is already big enough, and we don't really get along with each other."

"Brother, you actually refused me."

Hua Ruyu stomped her foot, putting on a look of anger. Hua Xeyu and Hua Feixue also walked forward.

Ye Bufan helplessly shook his head, leading the crowd behind him.

They may have realized they weren't dealing with easy prey, for the Owlmen never reappeared. Their journey was smooth sailing from then on, and soon they came upon the beam of light leading to the seventh layer.

The people from Jueqing Valley walked in the front, three of them stepping directly inside and quickly disappearing from sight.

Hua ru yu turned her head back, giving Ye Bufan a charming smile. She then cast him another seductive glance, as if she had completely forgotten what had just happened.

"Brother, I'm going upstairs to wait for you."

After the three members of the Huajian Pai finished speaking, they too disappeared into the beam of light.

Ye Bufan didn't immediately lead everyone into the seventh layer. He looked at them solemnly.

"As you've all seen, the previous six floors of the Sky Piercing Tower were already incredibly challenging. The floors that lie ahead will only become more perilous. We need to prepare ourselves in advance."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Although they had made their journey smoothly, they also knew that it was all thanks to Ye Bufan's protection.

Even a powerful cultivator like Lian Fengboli, who was in the middle stage of Mahayana, was left utterly embarrassed. As for these ordinary people, they were simply no match.

If I relied only on my own abilities, I'm afraid I couldn't even reach the fourth layer.

"Master Ximen had told us about the situation beforehand, so we were somewhat prepared. Everything was unknown on the seventh floor."

From now on, everyone grip the jade teleportation tokens in their hands. If anything goes wrong, crush them immediately.

Ye Bufan's expression was grave. Based on his previous experiences, if they really encountered a dangerous situation, reaching for the jade pendant would be enough time to lose their life, so he emphasized this point particularly.

Besides, when you get up there, no matter what happens to me, don't even think about saving me. I have means of self-preservation.

If I can't even handle this myself, your help won't do any good, you'll just have to pay for another one.

The crowd nodded in agreement once more, everyone having given their accounts. Only then did Ye Bufan lead them into the beam of light together.ng Bow, Heaven-Shattering Arrow!These two things were originally chaotic spirit treasures. Combined together, their overwhelming killing intent was chilling.Originally, when Ye Bufan came out, he felt...
