Stout looked around with his eyes wide open, “Could there be some rare treasures hidden inside here like the last time?”
“Search everywhere!” Billy urged the group.
“Okay!” The group responded and dispersed.
After about ten minutes, everyone gathered back in the main hall.
Aside from some furniture and everyday items, there was nothing particularly special inside.
Subsequently, the group moved to the second floor, where the pressure intensified slightly, but the situation was the same as the first floor.
When they reached the third floor, Soul and Judge’s endurance had reached their limits, their breaths were in disorder, and their faces were pale.
“Night Orchid, you and Judge should not go up any further. Wait for us outside the tower,” Billy instructed after roughly assessing Night Orchid and the others.
The pressure inside the tower must have a reason for being so strong, and with Night Orchid’s group’s lower cultivation level, it would be too dangerous for them to continue upwards.
“Okay!” Night Orchid and Judge agreed without insisting to stay.
They knew very well that with their current strength, they might be able to make it to the fourth floor with great effort. However, it would be extremely difficult, and if something happened, they would definitely become a burden.
After Night Orchid and the others left, Billy led Casey and the others to continue ascending to the upper floors.
Similar to the lower floors, the fourth and fifth floors had stronger pressures but no anomalies.
Upon reaching this point, Bob, Azure Dragon, and the others had also reached their limits, with sweat beading on their foreheads.
For safety reasons, Billy asked them to descend as well.
Subsequently, Billy led Casey, Harleen, and Ivy to the sixth floor.
“Hmm?” Just as they stepped out of the staircase, everyone was surprised at the same time.
Ahead of them, there was an enclosed space surrounded by a screen, with a two-meter-wide entrance on one side facing them.
The space had a diameter of about twenty to thirty meters, with screens around three meters high, made of wood with intricate carvings on the upper two-thirds.
In the center of the space was a wooden dining table with a tea set on it, accompanied by three wooden chairs with backrests.
The reason for Billy and the others’ surprise was that the three chairs were occupied!
Two men and a woman, all looking to be in their fifties.
One of the men had a square face and a sturdy build, while the other man had a lean face with clear contours.
Since the woman had her back to the staircase, her appearance couldn’t be seen.
What stunned Billy and the others once again was that the three people seated at the table showed no reaction upon the group’s arrival on the floor.
“Are they dead?” Casey couldn’t help but express her surprise after a while.
“Yeah,” Billy nodded. “There is no sign of life on the entire sixth floor. These three individuals seem to have passed away.”
“Their skin on the arms and faces is no different from that of living people, even their clothes show no signs of decay!” Harleen observed.
The three individuals, aside from not breathing, appeared almost identical to living people.
Unaware individuals might assume they were acupunctured!
“Ivy, are you saying that due to the effect of the array, they maintained the appearance of living people even after death?” Harleen asked, deep in thought.
“Most likely,” Ivy responded.
“So amazing, isn’t it?” Harleen was astonished.
Casey, too, wore a look of surprise.
“Go closer and take a look,” Billy said, adding, “The pressure inside the tower should be emanating from there. Let’s stay outside and observe for now.”
“Got it!” Casey and the others responded simultaneously.
Subsequently, the four of them stopped about ten meters away from the entrance on the other side of the screen.
From this angle, they could see the woman’s face clearly.
“It’s actually her?” Upon seeing the woman, both Billy and Casey exclaimed in surprise.
“Darling, do you know her?” Harleen asked Billy.
Ivy also turned to look at Billy and Casey.
“Yeah,” Billy nodded solemnly. “She should be the owner of the Heavenly Unity Sword Technique, Lady Heartless.”
Upon seeing the woman, he recognized her immediately, as she was identical to the ice sculpture he saw in the frost melt cave! And according to what his mother mentioned a few days ago, Lady Heartless was one of the Polar Four Heroes a hundred years ago.
He never expected to see her true self here!
“Ah?” Upon hearing Billy’s words, Harleen and Casey couldn’t help but exclaim.
“She’s actually Lady Heartless?” After a moment of pause, Harleen seemed to recall something and continued, “If she’s Lady Heartless, could the other two be Celestial Blade and the Wanderer?”
“It’s very likely,” Casey replied.
A hundred years ago, the three of the Polar Four Heroes vanished simultaneously. Since one of them is Lady Heartless, the other two are most likely Celestial Blade and the Wanderer.
Otherwise, how many people could sit on equal footing with Lady Heartless to have tea together?
“It’s not simply likely, it’s definite!” Billy added.
He then pointed towards the weapons beside the three individuals at the table, saying, “Have you noticed the weapons beside them?”
Casey and the others looked again.
Beside Lady Heartless was an ancient sword, three feet long with ancient patterns engraved on it, obviously an exceptional divine weapon.
The man with the sturdy build had a large knife by his side.
The blade was over a meter long and more than twenty centimeters wide at its broadest point, both the blade and the handle appearing jet black.
Even from that distance, everyone could faintly feel the chilling aura emanating from the blade, indicating an extraordinary item.
The other man had a flute made of jade by his side, about seventy to eighty centimeters long. Although it seemed ordinary at first glance, it was undoubtedly not an ordinary item upon contemplation.
“So, it really is them!” Ivy expressed with emotion. “I never expected the rumors to be true; they have truly fallen.”
“They were genuine Divine Realm powerhouses, how could they all fall here?” Harleen also sighed.
“Boss, can you find out the cause of their deaths?” Casey turned to Billy and asked.
“I can’t. They are enveloped by a barrier inside, so their deaths remain undetectable,” Billy paused slightly before continuing, “That’s also the reason they have maintained their appearance all these years.”
“Oh? So, there’s not only an array but also a barrier inside?” Casey expressed surprise once again.
