Ye Fei's objective was clear; he raced ahead, searching for the passage to the second level.
After he once again slew a silver wolf, a flash of white light appeared, and he found himself on the second level.
Compared to the first level, the demonic beasts on this second level were significantly more powerful.
"Help!"
"Quick, save me!"
Calls for help rang out one after another.
He immediately headed in the direction of the voices.
Ye Fei was extremely cautious, as he was the weakest in cultivation among them all.
Upon arriving at the location of the cries, Ye Fei discovered four people being besieged by several Blazing Tigers.
Originally, four martial artists at the early stage of Qi Refining sixth layer should have been evenly matched against Blazing Tigers of similar cultivation.
However, based on Ye Fei's experience, it wouldn't be long before these four were defeated.
Ye Fei initially did not want to meddle. At worst, they still had the teleportation jade tokens.
But as he intended to temper his own abilities, he gritted his teeth and appeared before the four.
"Hey, you little brutes, I'll take you on!"
Ye Fei brandished his long sword and declared.
Roar, roar, roar.
These four Blazing Beasts were short-tempered. Hearing Ye Fei's seemingly provocative words, they immediately spat out several fireballs.
Ye Fei narrowly avoided the fireballs and jumped away as if his feet were burning.
"I was wondering why you were in such a sorry state; turns out it's because these little cats can spit fireballs!"
Ye Fei patted his chest and stood with the two men and two women.
"Young hero, that's indeed the case."
"These Blazing Tigers are truly troublesome!"
These four were disciples of the Talisman Sect. Upon Ye Fei's sudden appearance, they had been somewhat excited, but after seeing Ye Fei's cultivation, their spirits immediately drooped again.
"I say, everyone, don't boost the enemy's morale and dampen your own!"
"I observed a room earlier, and these little cats cannot spit fireballs indefinitely!"
"So as long as we work together, we can definitely defeat them!"
"If you surrender now, will you be satisfied?"
Ye Fei's words struck a chord with their unspoken thoughts.
"Young hero, you are right. We cultivators go against the heavens!"
"Everyone, pull yourselves together!"
"Regardless of the outcome, we must give it our all!"
Seeing their fighting spirit rekindled, Ye Fei quickly shared his plan with them.
After a few seconds of discussion, the four agreed.
"Little kitties, the power of your fireballs is too weak!"
"You can't even burn the hem of my robe!"
"What a waste!"
Ye Fei continuously provoked the four Blazing Tigers.
He made them exhaust their remaining fireballs.
Seeing the frequency of the Blazing Tigers' fireballs slowing down, Ye Fei let out a great shout, and together with the four, they engaged the Blazing Tigers.
After several rounds of fierce fighting, the four Blazing Tigers were slain on the spot.
"Young hero, thank you for your help!"
"Great kindness requires no thanks!"
Although these four could be considered prodigies, their actual combat experience was still lacking.
Of course, Ye Fei could understand, as they primarily cultivated formations.
After expressing their thanks, everyone decided to travel together.
Although they encountered a few scattered demonic beasts on the way, they were quickly dealt with through their combined efforts.
A flash of white light appeared, and Ye Fei and the others arrived at the third level of the trial tower.
"Oh my!"
"From what I understand, this third level is full of formations!"
"Ye Fei, you must stick close to us and not get separated!"
The woman dressed in white Talisman Sect robes, named Liu Rumei, reminded him.
"Don't worry, your young master will definitely follow you obediently!"
Ye Fei said with a grin.
"This way!"
Liu Rumei led the group to the right.
"Wait!"
"Stop!"
After advancing less than a kilometer, Ye Fei urgently called a halt to the group.
"What's wrong?"
Liu Rumei, the leader, asked with a frown.
"Something's not right, I think I just sensed a fluctuation of a formation!"
"It's to our left!"
After Ye Fei finished speaking, he closed his eyes and sensed again, the feeling remained the same.
Seeing that Ye Fei wasn't joking, Liu Rumei also closed her eyes and began to sense carefully.
Unfortunately, after sensing several times, she detected no trace of formation fluctuations.
"Ye Fei, are you sure you're mistaken?"
"I've sensed it several times, and there's no sign of formation fluctuations."
"Our time is limited, let's quickly find the passage to the fourth level!"
However, Ye Fei remained steadfast in his judgment. He then shook his head and said,
"I still believe in my own judgment."
"In that case, let's split up here!"
Ye Fei's determined attitude truly gave Liu Rumei a headache.
Thus, she handed the decision-making power to her companions.
Subsequently, by a vote of three to one, they agreed to advance with Ye Fei.
"Ye Fei, then we will follow your decision and take a look with you."
Liu Rumei continued.
"Thank you!"
Ye Fei did not refuse, but instead took the lead.
As they drew closer, the four Talisman Sect disciples following Ye Fei finally detected the traces of formation fluctuations.
The four exchanged glances, looking rather bewildered.
As for Liu Rumei, a myriad of doubts flooded her mind.
She resolved to get to the bottom of it later.
When they finally reached the formation, the person trapped within immediately cried out for help with excitement.
Especially since Li Qingqing was also trapped inside.
She had almost given up hope, but seeing Ye Fei now, she suddenly felt a glimmer of hope.
"Ye Fei, save me!"
"Quickly find someone from the Talisman Sect to save us!"
Ye Fei also immediately spotted Li Qingqing, her face filled with joy.
"Senior sister, don't worry, I'll break the formation!"
Ye Fei quickly reassured her.
As for the four Talisman Sect disciples, they had also discovered their fellow disciples trapped within the formation.
After comforting them, everyone pinned all their hopes on Liu Rumei.
In reality, Liu Rumei had no confidence in her heart.
Although she had seen formations before, this particular formation was different.
The power of this formation was far greater than any formation she had previously encountered.
Therefore, she needed to proceed with even greater caution.
She dared not make the slightest mistake.
"You all protect me, I'm about to begin the process."
Liu Rumei instructed.
