Chapter 999: Wang Tianshi - Helena

"Arkon is dead, huh?" Wang Tianshi muttered softly, but everyone could see the extreme anger in her expression. "Who killed him?"

"Vadin." Wang Tianshi naturally remembered about the current ruler of the Netherworld Realm, but she did not expect that he would kill Arkon, and Helena then explained everything to her. "It all started when the old demon lord mysteriously died, and he ascended to the throne to replace him. At first, everything was fine, but he started to eliminate the loyal followers of the previous demon lord, and one of them was my father. However, he didn't stop there; he wanted to devour me in order to obtain my black flames, so with the help of my big sister and the others, I managed to escape from our realm."

After that, Helena immediately extended her hand and unleashed her hell flames, surprising Wang Tianshi, who swiftly grasped her hand and scrutinized it closely. "Back then, Arkon also used his black flames when he fought me, and I can still clearly remember the power of his flames. However, your flames are much stronger than his, and I feel that yours are more similar to the hell flames."

"You're not wrong about that, Senior." Helena said to confirm Wang Tianshi's guess. "Honestly, I myself don't know how I came to possess these hell flames, especially since I've had them since I was born. Vadin knows about the specialness of my flames, so he felt jealous and wanted to get them, but he could only get them by devouring me."

Wang Tianshi nodded in understanding and let go of Helena's hand. "No matter how strong we are, greed and jealousy will always be the nature of living things, and your hell flames are truly special. That's why I'm not surprised if Vadin wants to get his hands on them, especially since they'll be able to make him stronger. Anyway, I am really sorry for your father's death, and I also lost a formidable opponent that I respected very much."

"Thank you." Helena said it sincerely, but she herself still didn't expect to meet someone who had fought against her father in the past, and Wang Tianshi obviously respected him very much.

Wang Tianshi then gave Helena a token with a white sword symbol in the middle. "You can keep it for now, but you must use it when you want to go to the Netherworld Realm to take revenge for your father's death against Vadin, and I will come to aid you to carry out your revenge."

The three guests, particularly Ji Ping'er, who had known Wang Tianshi for a long time and knew a lot about her, were surprised to see her. She then glanced at Helena, muttering quietly to herself. 'Senior Sister Tianshi respects this woman's father so much; otherwise, she wouldn't have given her medal, and she was the second person to get it.'

Helena was overjoyed when she received the medal, especially since Wang Tianshi was powerful, and her presence by her side when she was about to take revenge against Vadin would increase their overall strength. "Thank you, Senior. I will call you when we set off for the Netherworld Realm in the future, but you might still have to wait quite a while, especially since I am still too weak to take revenge."

"Haha." That made Wang Tianshi laugh softly. "We are cultivators, and we can even spend so much time in our seclusion, so time means nothing to us. I will wait for you to call me; even if I have to wait tens or thousands of years, we will set off together to that realm."

"Yes."

After that, Ling Xi brought Wang Tianshi with her to the deepest area, and she introduced them to her other sisters.

As for the Xuanyuan Sisters, most of them were familiar with the two women, so they brought them along before questioning them about their lives in the Holy Land of Sword.

Xuanyuan Xue'er, who was also curious about Ling Yun, asked them numerous questions about him. However, she was completely shocked when they informed her that his cultivation had already reached the lower venerate realm.

After all, Ling Yun's cultivation had not yet advanced to the King Realm during their last spar, but he has now reached that realm, which means he managed to reach it in less than a year.

Even Xuanyuan Chang'er, who also knew Ling Yun, was shocked by it. Her expression became extremely serious, especially considering that his cultivation was now on par with hers, even though he had started it much later than hers.

Zhang Xingcai suddenly spoke to Xuanyuan Xue'er. "Hey, our husband already knows you're on your way here, and he can't wait to meet you again. However, we are facing a serious matter now, so he doesn't want to waste his time relaxing, and he intends to continue his journey until he reaches the 20th floor tomorrow."

"Hmm?" Xuanyuan Xue'er raised her eyebrows as she turned to Zhang Xingcai, and the other women also nodded at her to confirm her words. "What kind of serious matter are you referring to?"

"Back then, Sister Xi sacrificed the spirit of envy, Invidia, for our husband; such a thing was taboo for her race, so the spirit emperor chased us here to capture them." The Xuanyuan Sisters looked surprised after Ling Yu'er said that, but her next words completely shocked both women. "Moreover, his cultivation was at the High Supreme God Realm, so our chances of winning against him are very slim. That's why our husband is rushing to the top of this tower, fearing that we won't be able to defeat him and that he would execute Sister Xi if she fell into his hands."

"Isn't that person too strong?" Xuanyuan Chang'er inquired with a frown. "Even Senior Sister Tianshi's cultivation is only at the lower spureme god realm, and our master's cultivation is at the middle supreme god realm."

Lian Bing let out a soft sigh before answering Xuanyuan Chang'er. "After all, Zhu Ling is the emperor of the spirit race, so it is natural that she is very powerful. Moreover, Zhu Ling has a powerful advisor, and Sister Yu informed us that Jing Shen's cultivation is comparable to your master's. Furthermore, there are still some members of the spirit race who have advanced to that stage, and they are on their way here."

"You guys are really crazy, you know?" Xuanyuan Chang'er said while shaking her head. "You arrived here a few months later than us, but you've already encountered such serious problems. Since Zhu Ling's cultivation has reached the high supreme god realm, no other cultivator can fight him now."

"Hey! You're wrong about that, Chang'er!" Long Qiu said it with a shout. "Actually, our husband has an ally who is no less powerful than Zhu Ling, but unfortunately, he had already broken through to the three immortal realms a few months ago. However, he said that he would return to the upper realms, but we still don't know whether he has returned or not."

"Who-"

"That person must be Tang Chen, right?" Xuanyuan Xue'er spoke before her little sister, and her expression was filled with certainty as she asked.

They nodded to Xuanyuan Xue'er, and Feng Qing then said to her. "Tang Wan is the direct descendant of Senior Tang Chen, so he and his Tang Clan decided to side with us. Apart from them, we also have the Tian Clan as our ally, and they are no less powerful than them."

"The Tian Clan? Is this clan native to the Sky Cloud Realm?"

"Yes." Feng Qing answered with a nod and continued her explanation. "Senior Tang Huang is our husband's blacksmithing master, and his cultivation is also on the High Supreme God Realm."

Xuanyuan Xue'er nodded slightly after hearing that. "However, they are not in this tower right now, and Zhu Ling is on her way here, so they couldn't possibly protect Ling Yun and Senior Xi from him."

All of them nodded helplessly at Xuanyuan Xue'er, and then Lian Bing spoke to her again. "That's why our husband is in such a hurry to reach the top of this tower, especially since there is something up there that can help him become even stronger. Perhaps he could defeat Zhu Ling if he managed to get it, but his struggle to get there was not easy, especially since the beasts on the 31st floor and above were in the five god realms."

"My master has already informed me about it, which is why I've come to this tower for training, particularly because I need opponents who are significantly stronger than me to further my development. Otherwise, I will be left behind by Ling Yun, and I don't want that to happen." After hearing that, they all glanced at Xuanyuan Xue'er, feeling that she had developed an intense obsession with their husband. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Nothing."

Ling Yu'er suddenly moved to Xuanyuan Xue'er's side and looked at her seriously. "Did you fall in love with our husband? We all knew your character before Yun'er appeared, but the current you is completely different from the old you, and I'm sure it's not because of your competitive mentality."
