The Sky Tower Ruler
Episode 14

Behind the tension that was so felt at the moment, there was someone who was also burning with anger while looking at Gu Lang with a murderous gaze that was so piercing.

Even to the point of making Gu Lang also able to feel that killing intent, he took a look at everyone present to find out who the person who wanted to kill him so badly was.

But he could not find who it was, because it was indeed as many people gathered around the arena alive and dead.

Gu Lang decided to ignore that. Because if anyone really wanted to kill him, then that person would definitely come to do just that.

So why would Gu Lang bother looking for that person, if in the end that person would come to him alone without coercion.

"Whoever you are, I will wait for you!"

The crescent moon sect.

Now Gu Lang, and the Great Elder were already at the residence of Xiao San. And after the Great Elder examined Xiao San's condition, Gu Lang felt extremely guilty about it.

Right now it could be said that Xiao San was in a coma, and only a level five life pill could save him.

But a level five life pill was an extremely rare item. Because in Biluo city, the highest alchemist was only at level four.

"Elder, I will look for life pills even if I have to venture all over." Gu Lang was determined to save his friend's life, "But did Xiao San survive until I found the life pill?"

The Great Elder let out a long sigh, and said one way to maintain the lingering aura of life in Xiao San's body.

"There's a way, but I'm not sure you're capable."

"Whatever it is I will do, even if it has to pass through the gates of death! Xiao San was injured because of my actions, and Bao Feng also died because of me. I would feel very guilty if I let Xiao San die" Gu Lang said firmly.

The Great Elder praised Gu Lang's demeanor very much, he was very loyal friend.

Derani acknowledges and takes responsibility for what he has done, and also dares to cross any obstacles to achieve his glorious goal.

Finally the Great Elder told Gu Lang how.

That way was Gu Lang had to break into the nine-tier tower and complete all the challenges that existed at each level, if he succeeded then the sect leader would grant him one wish.

It was not that the Great Elder could not directly give that level four life-supporting pill, to Gu Lang.

But as a Great Elder, he still had to uphold the rules of the sect that had existed since the Crescent Sect was founded, and was still maintained to this day.

The Great Elder also reminded, that it has been a hundred years since no one has managed to complete all the challenges in the nine-story tower.

And the one who failed, no one ever came back and it's certain that they all died in there.

Gu Lang immediately nodded confidently, without a second thought.

That made the Great Elder even more fond of Gu Lang's figure and intended to make him a private disciple, if Gu Lang was able to conquer all the challenges in the nine-story tower.

Without waiting for long, Gu Lang immediately said goodbye to the Great Elder, asking him to look after Xiao San until he returned.

After bidding farewell to the Great Elder, Gu Lang immediately set off towards the Dragon's Palm Mountain.

Dragon Tread Mountain was one of the places within the Crescent Moon sect, the place where the nine-level tower was located.

And the nine-level tower, was one of the relics of a god cultivator that had once existed in that small town.

The last person to ever conquer the tower was the previous sect leader, and counted for over a hundred years since then.

Many people try, but all fail and end up never coming back again. And most likely, they were all dead.

Most of the people who tried to get into the nine-story tower, were people who wanted big things.

Whether it was becoming an elder in the Crescent Moon sect, asking for a high-level weapon or pill, not even a few were willing to occupy the position of sect leader.

But Gu Lang was different, he only wanted the pill to save Xiao San's life not for him to use alone.

And he also did not want the position of elder or sect leader, because all he wanted was to explore the world, see the entire world and become the strongest in this universe.

Gu Lang was now in front of the entrance gate of the Dragon Tread mountain.

Again there was only an elder guarding the place, making Gu Lang think that the elder before him might have the same standing as the Great Elder.

"Sorry senior, I want to get into the nine-story tower." Gu Lang cupped his hands together and spoke politely.

"Haish, is anyone else willing to take their lives? Why do you young people always play around with such lives, only for endless ambition." The elder murmured after sighing breathlessly.

He had often warned the disciples in the sect to train diligently first, and not try to enter the nine-tier tower before being convinced of the abilities possessed.

"What's your name?"

"Gu Lang, outer disciple."

The elder was surprised to hear Gu Lang was just an outer disciple, but he actually dared to enter the gates of hell like this.

But he no longer wanted to prevent it, but only advised him.

"What do you want as a reward if you succeed?"

"Life pills, I need them to save the life of my friend who was hurt by my actions, senior."

The elder again felt surprised by what he had just heard.

Just this time there were people who were willing to bet their lives to enter the nine-story tower, but not for themselves but for the sake of a friend.

Deep down inside the elder, he deeply regretted Gu Lang's decision to enter the nine-story tower.

But in addition he also could not deny that he greatly appreciated the kindness of the young man.

After noting the name and rewards that Gu Lang wanted, the elder immediately opened the gate protector to the Dragon Tread mountain.

He had Gu Lang climb up the steps, to get to the nine-story tower.

"Thank you, senior."
