Chapter 1199: Chapter 1199: Infighting
All the surviving cultivators of the True Essence Sect were desperately trying to escape for their lives.
However, they didn’t escape far. With the storm of the Devil’s Tower sweeping the sky, none were spared; all were absorbed into the Devil’s Tower.
As all the experts of the True Essence Sect, from top to bottom, were all absorbed into the Devil’s Tower, the tower door shut with a bang.
Inside the Devil’s Tower, from Sect Leader Jin Zongfan, the four grand elders, down to each hall master, all the cultivators, were gathered in the first and second layers of the tower.
And above the second layer of the Devil’s Tower, a brilliance as dazzling as the Star Sea blocked the way. Unless one could break through the thunder, lightning, wind, and fire of the Devil’s Tower, it was impossible to pass through the brilliant glow akin to the Star Sea to reach the third layer.
Although a large number of people from the True Essence Sect rushed in all of a sudden, this Devil’s Tower was originally a magical artifact, and its space seemed to be able to expand with the increasing number of people.
At least, so many people from the True Essence Sect entered the first and second floors of the tower without the imagined crowdedness.
“Who are you? Why are you in my Devil’s Tower?” At that moment, a voice full of surprise rang out.
Jin Zongfan and others, who were feeling desperate about escaping the Devil’s Tower, followed the voice unconsciously. As Jin Zongfan’s gaze landed on the speaker’s face, he exclaimed in surprise, “Gongsun Bin!”
And when Jin Zongfan uttered these words, expressions of shock appeared on the faces of the four elders and more than a dozen hall masters.
They surely knew who Gongsun Bin was?
The eldest son of the Gongsun family in Liufeng City.
“Gongsun Bin, let us out now!” Jin Zongfan, after coming back to his senses, furiously yelled at Gongsun Bin.
Gongsun Bin had been comfortably staying in the Devil’s Tower, daydreaming about how to frame Lin Fei.
Earlier, he had shared information about the Yuan and Qin families with Lin Fei without reservation, hoping that Lin Fei would seek them out and bring trouble upon himself.
He was waiting for Lin Fei to have a serious misfortune, thinking it might allow him to regain freedom.
But he never expected that while he was calculating these good deeds in his mind, the Devil’s Tower would suddenly suck in large groups of unfamiliar cultivators with the storm.
At this moment, hearing Jin Zongfan call out his name directly, Gongsun Bin, the eldest son of the Gongsun family, was somewhat displeased and said to Jin Zongfan, “Do you know who I am? I advise you to show me some respect.”
Jin Zongfan naturally knew Gongsun Bin’s status and that Gongsun Bin was one of the Saint Heirs of the Holy Dragon Continent, whose strength couldn’t be underestimated.
However, Jin Zongfan was also the dignified leader of a sect, and his power was just slightly below that of the first elder, second elder, and fourth elder of the Yue family.
Even if up against Saint Heir’s strength, the strength of the Saint Sect’s third layer wouldn’t necessarily lose.
Of course, what made Jin Zongfan most furious was being trapped in the Devil’s Tower now, with Gongsun Bin as the owner of the Devil’s Tower.
Plus, Lin Fei’s previous impersonation of a Gongsun family expert led Jin Zongfan to believe that today’s predicament for him and the True Essence Sect was caused by Gongsun Bin’s scheming.
Therefore, Jin Zongfan didn’t care about Gongsun Bin’s identity. He just knew that Gongsun Bin caused all this trouble for him, and he wanted to settle the score with Gongsun Bin.
“Gongsun Bin, listen to me. Although you are the eldest son of the Gongsun family in Liufeng City, I don’t care if you are the eldest son of the Gongsun family. If you don’t let me out immediately, I, Jin Zongfan, will put you to death just the same.” Jin Zongfan’s eyes flared with anger as strands of Holy Qi Energy erupted from his body.
Seeing the Holy Qi Power bursting from Jin Zongfan’s body, Gongsun Bin couldn’t help but show fear in his eyes. After his martial arts were destroyed, he couldn’t even contend with ordinary cultivators of the True Essence Sect, let alone Jin Zongfan of the Saint Sect level.

Thus, Gongsun Bin immediately cowered.
“So it’s Sect Leader Jin, I’ve long heard of your unparalleled martial arts and widespread fame. Seeing you today proves it’s well deserved.” After flattering Sect Leader Jin, Gongsun Bin changed his tone and said, “But Sect Leader Jin, you’ve misunderstood me. I didn’t trap you in the Devil’s Tower. Actually, I am just like you, also trapped here by Lin Fei.
Because I also lost to Lin Fei, and even my Devil’s Tower was completely taken by him.”
Jin Zongfan and the elders and hall masters were all taken aback when they heard Gongsun Bin’s words.
Gongsun Bin also lost to Lin Fei?
Moreover, the Devil’s Tower was taken by Lin Fei, and Gongsun Bin was also trapped inside?
Jin Zongfan couldn’t believe any of this, but he trusted that given Gongsun Bin’s identity and status, he would never fabricate such a lie, nor was there any need to.
“Did you really lose to Lin Fei?” Jin Zongfan remained incredulous, questioning how the oldest son of the City Lord of Liufeng City could lose to Lin Fei.
Gongsun Bin nodded bleakly, “I never imagined I would lose to Lin Fei, and lose so utterly, with my martial arts abolished and the Devil’s Tower taken.”
Jin Zongfan could hardly believe his ears, looking at Gongsun Bin, “You say your martial arts are abolished?”
Gongsun Bin said, “Yes, Lin Fei dared to abolish my martial arts, and the Gongsun family will certainly not let him go.”
However, just as he finished speaking, Jin Zongfan’s palm rose, and a surge of Holy Qi Power erupted striking Gongsun Bin.
With a boom, Gongsun Bin was blasted like a cannonball, hitting the wall of the Devil’s Tower harshly.
With a puff, Gongsun Bin spat out a large mouthful of blood, his face pale as paper and in agony. He had not expected Jin Zongfan to strike him.
“Why did you attack me, Jin Zongfan?” Gongsun Bin asked, his eyes flashing with hatred, staring at Jin Zongfan.
Jin Zongfan showed no trace of apology, instead of expressing a look of satisfaction, saying, “So your martial arts are indeed abolished. Hahaha… I never thought the dignified eldest son of the Gongsun family would end up with his martial arts abolished, becoming worse than a waste.”
As Jin Zongfan mocked, the other elders and hall masters immediately joined in with mocking laughter.
This made Gongsun Bin feel an indescribable sense of humiliation, his eyes flashing with hatred, and he gritted his teeth, “I’m not a waste, how dare you mock me, the Gongsun family will not let you off.”
“Gongsun Bin, you are now nothing more than a waste, and anyway, your Gongsun family has always been at odds with our City Lord of Ten Thousand Swords City. Today is the perfect opportunity to teach you, this grandson, a lesson.” As Jin Zongfan’s words fell, he immediately signaled to several True Essence Sect cultivators beside him.
These cultivators understood immediately.
Then, the sound of fists and kicks resounded in the tower, along with Gongsun Bin’s wailing cries.
A few minutes later, the sound of fists and kicks ceased, and Gongsun Bin, already taught a brutal lesson by a few True Essence Sect cultivators, was left in a deplorable state, his face bruised and swollen, hair disheveled, with no trace of the eldest son of a major family.
“Gongsun Bin, tell me, how can we leave this Devil’s Tower?” Jin Zongfan asked forcefully, looking at Gongsun Bin menacingly.
Even though Gongsun Bin hated Jin Zongfan to the bone, he also knew he could never be a match for Jin Zongfan.
“The Devil’s Tower has four major powers: wind, thunder, lightning, and fire. If you can break through them, you can get out.” Gongsun Bin said in fear, pointing to the dazzling glow like the Star Sea above the second layer.
Looking at the dazzling glow like the Star Sea above, Jin Zongfan immediately ordered all True Essence Sect people, “Let’s attack together and break through it.”
