In a blink of an eye, the day outside passed by.

But inside the castle, a whole year has passed.

Qin Feiyang had already refined those dozens of soul stones, and it was up to him to slowly gather his consciousness.

originally.

He wanted to continue to retreat, but Gao Xiaolong woke up.

In the hall.

Gao Xiaolong sat on the chair in front of the coffee table, looking around, with a hint of weakness in his brows.

The person woke up, but his injuries were not healed.

Gao Xiaohui was taking care of her meticulously.

Huolian, on the other hand, sat quietly aside.

Whoosh!

Qin Feiyang appeared in the hall out of thin air.

Gao Xiaolong immediately stood up, cupped his hands and said, "I guess my brother is Jiang Haotian!"

"Exactly."

Qin Feiyang nodded, sat on the main seat, and said with a smile: "Sit down and talk."

Gao Xiaolong returned to his seat, his face full of gratitude, and said: "Xiao Hui told me everything before, thank you Brother Jiang."

"You're welcome."

Qin Feiyang waved his hand and smiled, and asked: "Then what are your plans next?"

Gao Xiaolong clenched his hands and said in a deep voice: "Of course I want to seek revenge from the Guo family!"

"He is indeed a man of blood. I can help you."

Qin Feiyang laughed and said.

"Help me?"

Gao Xiaolong was stunned and said suspiciously: "Brother Jiang, don't blame me for thinking too much. You are not related to us, why are you helping us like this?"

"I can't help you without conditions."

Qin Feiyang smiled.

"What conditions?"

Gao Xiaolong asked.

Qin Feiyang said: "I need to enter Jiutian Palace."

"Enter Jiutian Palace?"

Gao Xiaolong was stunned and frowned: "With Brother Jiang's ability, it shouldn't be difficult to enter Jiutian Palace, right?"

Qin Feiyang smiled and said: "It's hard to say. What if something unexpected happens? And I'm afraid of trouble, so I need someone to take care of it."

"I understand."

Gao Xiaolong nodded.

"Brother Gao is indeed a sensible person."

Qin Feiyang smiled.

"Ashamed, ashamed."

Gao Xiaolong waved his hands repeatedly and said with a wry smile: "To be honest, I am just an ordinary disciple in Jiutian Palace. I can't help you much if I really want to. I can only find a way to give you some information so that you can prepare in advance."

"that's enough."

Qin Feiyang smiled and said: "By the way, is there any mystery hidden in the ladder leading to Jiutian Palace?"

"Brother Jiang, why do you ask this?"

Gao Xiaolong was suspicious.

"To tell you the truth, Brother Gao, I once disguised myself and tried to sneak into Jiutian Palace, but as soon as I stepped on the first step of the ladder, the ladder sounded an alarm."

Qin Feiyang said.

"Well!"

Gao Xiaolong looked stunned and said speechlessly: "Brother Jiang, you are so brave. From ancient times to the present, you are the first person who dares to sneak into Jiutian Palace like this."

Qin Feiyang smiled sarcastically.

Gao Xiaolong glanced at the yard outside and whispered: "Brother Jiang, is it convenient to talk here?"

Qin Feiyang said: "Don't worry, there is no safer place than this."

Gao Xiaolong breathed a sigh of relief and whispered: "To be honest with Brother Jiang, there is indeed a mystery in this ladder."

"What mystery?"

Qin Feiyang was surprised.

Huolian and Gao Xiaohui also looked at Gao Xiaolong with curious faces.

Gao Xiaolong said: "The ladder to heaven is actually an artifact."

"Artifact..."

Qin Feiyang muttered.

Gao Xiaohui asked in surprise: "Brother, what level of artifact is this ladder to heaven?"

"have no idea."

"It's not just me who doesn't know. No one in Jiutian Palace knows about it except a few big shots."

"But there are rumors that the reason why our Jiutian Palace can stand in the Northern Territory without falling is because of that ladder."

Gao Xiaolong said.

"this……"

Qin Feiyang was shocked.

If the rumors are true, then this ladder is definitely a heaven-defying artifact.

"No one knows how powerful the Heaven Ladder is, but there is one thing that all the disciples of Jiutian Palace know."

"That is, being able to distinguish between true and false, and see through falsehoods, so no matter how you hide it, as long as you step onto the ladder to heaven, your true colors will be revealed."

Gao Xiaolong smiled.

"I see."

Qin Feiyang suddenly realized.

Gao Xiaolong added: "Moreover, Tianlai also has another ability, which is to identify the disciples of Jiutian Palace."

"How to identify?"

Gao Xiaohui was suspicious.

"Every disciple who enters the Jiutian Palace must refine a drop of blood essence and integrate it into the ladder to heaven before entering the Jiutian Palace."

"This blood essence is equivalent to a medium."

"And Tianlai uses essence and blood to determine whether the opponent is from Jiutian Palace."

"And the entire Jiutian Palace is enveloped by a layer of divine power. There is only one entrance, the ladder to heaven."

"Moreover, you can't fly above the ladder, you can only walk up it step by step."

"So, it is simply impossible to sneak into Jiutian Palace."

Gao Xiaolong said.

"Can't fly yet?"

Qin Feiyang shook his head and smiled bitterly, the defense of Jiutian Palace is really terrifying!

Huolian said: "So, if you want to enter Jiutian Palace, the only way is to take the assessment?"

"That's right."

Gao Xiaolong nodded.

"What kind of assessment will that be?"

Qin Feiyang asked.

"Every assessment is different, so I can't tell you anything now?"

"But one thing is the same every time, and that is cruelty and bloodshed."

Gao Xiaolong said in a deep voice, his eyes extremely solemn.

"How cruel? How bloody?"

Gao Xiaohui was curious.

"It's hard for you to imagine."

"I'll tell you this!"

"Every time Jiutian Palace recruits disciples, at least hundreds of thousands of people come to participate, but in the end, no more than a thousand people survive."

Gao Xiaolong said.

"What?"
