Chapter 2604 Now it begins... This place is mine!
Ahead, a massive tower came into view, becoming clearer and clearer as it drew closer.
When the two sides were only 100 meters apart, Qiuqiu in the back seat whispered, "Stop the car. If we keep driving, they will definitely find our location. So Lingtian and I will walk over, and you guys wait in the car."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qi stepped on the gas pedal, and the car came to a stop.
Ling Tian looked at Lin Qi in the driver's seat and said softly, "You and Mina wait in the distance. If anything happens, send me a message. I'll go in with Qiu Qiu first, and then we'll look for Mina's father. If we don't find him... we'll take action directly."
"If this stronghold really has a passage, then we must speed up our pace. At the very least, we must not let the people at the Star Sea Pavilion headquarters know what is happening here, otherwise they will definitely send reinforcements, and it will become even more difficult for us to leave."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qi and Mina nodded subconsciously in agreement.
After all, Ling Tian was right. If Xinghai Pavilion called for reinforcements, they would indeed be in greater danger. If several powerful martial artists came and could control Qiuqiu, the three of them would only be killed.
Lin Qi and Mina were both aware of this.
"Then, brother, you must be careful too. If you need any help, don't forget to call me." Lin Qi knew that he couldn't follow Ling Tian and Qiu Qiu for the time being, so he nodded in agreement and told Ling Tian not to forget his presence.
"Yes, I know." Ling Tian smiled slightly, patted Lin Qi's shoulder and said, "Wait for me to come back."
"Okay big brother!"
Upon hearing Lin Qi's words, Ling Tian smiled, opened the car door, and got out with Qiu Qiu. The car then quickly drove away into the distance.
As the car drove further and further in the opposite direction, Qiuqiu looked at Ling Tian and asked, "So... what's your plan?"
"Plan?" Ling Tian looked puzzled. "What plan? You mean the plan to infiltrate the stronghold?"
"Otherwise what?" Chiu Chiu said speechlessly, "What other plan do you have? Do you want me to force my way in? Wouldn't that just give them the opportunity to call for reinforcements, just like you said?"
"This... is indeed a problem."
Ling Tian nodded subconsciously, his gaze falling on the distant tower.
You know what, these people from Xinghai Pavilion, regardless of how many inhumane things they've done, at least have some sense of aesthetics.
For example, the tower in the distance has many patterns on it, and its appearance is also very cool, giving people the feeling of an ancient castle.
After examining the tower's exterior, Ling Tian briefly surveyed its layout before turning to Qiu Qiu and asking, "So the Star Sea Pavilion's base is this tower? Their research is all inside this tower? And the passageways are inside too?"
“Hmm.” Chiu Chiu nodded upon hearing this: “Actually, all the strongholds of Star Sea Pavilion are pretty much the same. This is to make it clear to others at a glance that this is their territory, so there won’t be much difference. If I’m not mistaken, there will be a passage on the first floor of this tower.”
"Of course, the upper floors are the research areas. Whether it's human martial artists or demonic beasts, almost all research is done on the upper floors. However, the martial artists and the demonic beasts they raise are all on the first floor, responsible for protecting the tower's safety."
Upon hearing this, Ling Tian frowned slightly: "So if we want to make a move, we must clear out the first level, right?"
“That’s right.” Chirp nodded. “If we can take care of the first floor quickly, the upper floors won’t be too much of a problem. It will be much easier for us to wipe out the entire stronghold.”
“Let’s go then.” Ling Tian shrugged. “Since we have to deal with the first level anyway, we don’t need a plan. Let’s just go for it and try to finish it as quickly as possible.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Tian drew his Azure Blood Sword and his gaze fell on Qiu Qiu, who was standing to the side.
Upon seeing Ling Tian's actions, Qiuqiu smiled slightly and then nodded: "Let's go, since you've said so, then... let's go and give it a try together!"
After deciding on their "plan," the two headed straight for the tower.
When they were about ten meters away from the tower, Ling Tian could see the entrance and immediately noticed the two people standing there.
The two peak Unity Realm warriors weren't particularly strong, so Ling Tian didn't wait for Qiu Qiu to react before charging forward with the Azure Blood Sword in hand.
At the same time, the two martial artists at the door saw Ling Tian, but before they could make a move, Ling Tian's Azure Blood Sword had already slashed across their necks.
The entire movement was completed in one smooth motion. Ling Tian's speed reached its maximum. The two martial artists lost their vital signs before they even saw Ling Tian's figure.
After Ling Tian finished all his actions, he exhaled and turned his head to find Qiu Qiu looking at him with a smile.
Noticing her smiling face, Ling Tian asked, puzzled, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"It's nothing." Chiu Chiu shook her head. "I just think you can be quite violent at times. If you were a demon beast, you could definitely accomplish that... cough cough, never mind, let's keep going."
Chirp's strange reaction filled Ling Tian with doubt, but in order to prevent the people of Xinghai Pavilion from discovering that someone had invaded, he didn't think too much about it and directly opened the door and rushed in.
Pushing open the gate, a huge open space comes into view.
The open space in front of us was dilapidated, and it looked like it had been prepared for a friendly sparring match.
Just then, Ling Tian sensed the auras of several martial artists and looked at Qiu Qiu, saying, "Why don't we split up and meet at the place on the way to the second floor? If we go together, it will probably waste some time. It would be better if we went our separate ways."
"After all, I've done a quick assessment, and the strongest beings in the entire tower are only a few mid-stage Saint Realm warriors. They pose no threat to me, so I can handle them myself. As for the rest of the demonic beasts, I'll leave them to you."
"Okay." Chuchu nodded upon hearing this: "The stairs leading to the second floor are..."
Chiu Chiu also relied on her previous memories to tell Ling Tian the general route.
After everything was explained, Ling Tian memorized the route, said goodbye to Qiu Qiu, and walked forward.
After walking for about five minutes, a blue iron gate appeared in front of him. Just as Ling Tian was about to push the gate open and go in, the gate was opened instead, and a figure walked out.
Upon seeing Ling Tian, the man was taken aback at first, then tilted his head as if about to speak, but Ling Tian drew his Azure Blood Sword first and pointed it at his neck.
Then, amidst the surprised and puzzled looks of the other party, Ling Tian smiled and said, "From now on... this place belongs to me!"
