All of them were stunned, and then they maintained silence upon recovering from their shock. They wanted to kill their way into the 4th level as well, and they’d even tried to. However, were the corpses that were piled up like a mountain at the entrance not obvious? How could they kill their way up there when the devil profounders were standing guard there? Going up represented certain death, and they had a chance at survival if they remained here! “You don’t dare?” A wisp of ridicule arose on the corners of Tang Ye’s mouth, and then he said, “The devil, nether, and demon race don’t even amount to 2,000 profounders in total, but how many human profounders are there? Let’s forget that those three races bullied, humiliated, and oppressed all of you at the Ancient Battlefield. Now, the Hidden Dragon Pagoda is related to your futures and the futures of your clans or sect. So, are all of you still willing to continue suffering oppression and humiliation?” All of them still remained silent. After all, ascending to the 4th level represented going against the three races. Mo Ke, Hun You, and the violet robed man who led a group of mysterious experts were utterly not existences that they could resist! There were experts amongst the human profounders like that woman called An Nanjing. But unfortunately, she didn’t pay any regard to them! Tang Ye’s strength wasn’t bad, but the problem was that he was all alone. So, could he resist those three experts? Even though Tang Ye had once fought four geniuses by himself, it wasn’t a battle of life and death. Could Tang Ye still accomplish a similar feat if it was a life and death battle? Simply speaking, fear had been beaten into the hearts of these human profounders! The ridiculing smile on Tang Ye’s face widened when he saw them remain silent. “Do all of you think that so long as you clear out a spot here and cultivate properly, then those profounders of the nether, devil, and demon race would let all of you go? Just think about it yourself. Would they let all of you go? They won’t. I’m sure that they’ll come down to clean up the area once all of you’ve fought and killed each other to a certain extent. At that time, how would all of you resist them?” “Even if we did head up right now, how would we resist them?” Meanwhile, a profounder asked a question in reply instead. “With your lives!” Tang Ye said, “If we head up now, then we’ll be fighting a life or death battle because we still have the qualifications to do so. All of you must realize that while you’re killing each other, they are cultivating painstakingly up there. Coupled with the fact that the energy there is much denser, they’ll definitely advance into the Spirit Realm before all of you. Once that happens, then tell me if you’ll still have the ability to risk your life with hopes of defeating them?” Their eyelids twitched upon hearing this, and they realized that they’d forgotten this. Right, once they advance into the Spirit Realm, then the only fate that awaits us would be death! Our strengths are already weaker to them, so if they were to advance into the Spirit Realm, then how could we possibly fight them!? “He’s right!” Meanwhile, a man suddenly walked over from the 2nd level. He was none other than one of the three outstanding geniuses from the central territory, Young Master Xi Luo, who hadn’t shown himself in public for a long time! Young Master Xi Luo walked over and stood in front of them before he said, “Tang Ye is right. If all of you don’t unite, then only death awaits all of you!” “Young Master Xi Luo, you three outstanding geniuses of the central territory intend to ally with Tang Ye?” One of the profounders asked this question with a slightly excited tone. Because if the three of them were to join forces with Tang Ye, then the human profounders didn’t have to fear the devil, nether, and demon race anymore! “The three outstanding geniuses of the central territory?” Young Master Xi Luo laughed with self-ridicule and said, “From now onward, there’s only one outstanding genius in the central territory!” All of the others were puzzled. “Li Qingshui and Nangong Meng are dead!” Right when the profounders in the surroundings were bewildered, Young Master Xi Luo said, “It was a mysterious expert who killed them, and according to my investigation, that mysterious expert isn’t a human! In other words, our human race has another extraordinarily terrifying enemy. So, if all of you don’t unite and still intend to kill each other, then could there be any other fate besides death that awaits all of you?” Shock appeared on their faces when they heard that Li Qingshui and Nangong Meng were dead. The two of them were part of the three outstanding geniuses of the central territory, and they’d even overcame the Heaven Entrance. Moreover, the three of them had even joined forces to kill an Exalt Realm expert in the past! Who could have possibly been able to kill them? Mo Ke, or perhaps... Hun You? Tang Ye frowned as well. Li Qingshui and Nangong Meng’s strengths were extremely formidable, and it was very difficult to kill any one of them. Yet now, both of them had been killed. Who has the strength to accomplish that? Mo Ke? Hun You? The Martial God An Nanjing? Or perhaps it was Luo Xue?
