C794 Qiankun Tower
C794 Qiankun Tower
This tower was built a few centuries ago, and there was no way to find out when it was built. However, after a few hundred years, this tower was still as good as before. Even after a few centuries of weathering, the green bricks on the surface were only slightly dimmer.
It was as if this tower had a natural protective layer that prevented it from being corroded by the sun and rain.
Of course, this could only be considered a little special. It was not enough to make Universe Tower a famous building in the country.
It was rumored that five hundred years ago, the Universe Tower had encountered a huge fire. However, the flames were unable to destroy this pagoda. What was even more amazing was that every time a fire broke out, heavy rain would fall from the sky and extinguish the flames.
This was not a coincidence. In the past few hundred years, such a situation had happened no less than five times.
The most recent one was five years ago. At that time, it had become a piece of news that shook the entire country, causing Universe Tower to be covered with a mysterious veil.
What truly gave the Universe Tower a legend was the nine "special" incidents that had happened in the past.
Although it was said to be an accident, in reality, it was a decisive battle between warriors in the Universe Tower.
Of course, there were too many places in the world that were suitable for the final battle. It was not worth paying extra attention to the Universe Tower. The reason why the Universe Tower was able to attract so much attention was because of the nine incidents that happened in the final battle between warriors. The outcome was surprisingly consistent.
On Universe Tower, there was a very vast rooftop. It was originally a place for tourists to view the scenery. Later, it was only used as the venue for the battle between warriors and was not open to the public.
It was rumored that three hundred and seventy years ago, there were two warriors who agreed to have a life and death battle in the Universe Tower because of personal grudges.
Both of them were Foundation Stage Warrior warriors, and their strength was almost the same. After a day of battle, however, both of them were exhausted from the battle. The winner didn't have the strength to kill the loser, but for some reason... Dense dark clouds suddenly appeared in the sky above the rooftop. In the end, a bolt of lightning struck down. It struck the loser's body. The loser died on the spot because of this.
At that time, it was thought to be a Heavenly Punishment, but some people thought it was just a coincidence.
After thirty years, another two martial artists fought to the death in Universe Tower.
This time, both of them were Inedia Stage, but there was a clear difference in strength between them. In the end, the one with the highest strength won easily. However, at the last moment, that person's heart softened, and he chose to cripple his opponent's hands and feet, saving his opponent's life.
However, the loser thought that he had survived, and the heavens did not give him face.
Another bolt of lightning descended from the sky, and struck him to death.
The first time could be said to be a coincidence, but the second time could not be said to be a coincidence. The same thing happened twice, immediately causing countless martial artists to panic.
They thought that it was the curse of Universe Tower, and they also thought that the lightning was a Heavenly Punishment. It was a punishment for the loser.
Of course, there were still people who did not believe it, and they believed that it was just a coincidence.
After fifty years, the rumors of Universe Tower had gradually been forgotten by people as time passed. There were two young warriors who were competitive and felt that they were stronger than the other party. They wanted to compete in strength. They did not want to engage in a life and death battle. They just wanted to compete in strength.
After the outcome was decided, the loser suffered the same outcome as the previous two defeats, and was struck to death by lightning.
It was only three things. Now, all of the martial artists were in an uproar.
Even if they didn't dare to believe it, they knew that a duel in the Universe Tower was simply the result of courting death.
After that, in the Universe Tower, several duels had also proved that the warriors' guesses weren't wrong.
As long as it was a duel in the Universe Tower, one side would definitely die.
In the nine incidents, there was only one exception. That was, the martial artists from both sides had tied, and it was impossible to tell who would win or lose. In this situation, no Heavenly Punishment had appeared, and no one had died.
Because of this, Universe Tower was given the name of a duel to the death. It was very famous. A life-and-death duel in Universe Tower had always been regarded as the most risky and life-risking battle.
Once one went up, there would definitely be one person who died.
Of course, this situation was only limited to warriors. For ordinary people, going up to the rooftop to fight wouldn't be a problem.
It seemed like... There was a very special power in Universe Tower, like a martial artist's Judgement Stage.
It was because of this special characteristic of Universe Tower that when the news of Lee Yifann and Gai Jiuyuv's battle spread, everyone believed that Lee Yifann was dead for sure.
Even if the outcome of the battle was decided, Gai Jiuyuv didn't intend to kill Lee Yifann. The Universe Tower would still send down their Heavenly Punishment to kill Lee Yifann.
The various legends of Universe Tower had made it a unique attraction in the capital. There had always been many people who came here to tour.
The Universe Tower occupied a large area. It was only open to most tourists in the outer area, but the inner area of the rooftop was not open to the public.
After all, even if the rumors were only limited to warriors, the managers of Universe Tower were not sure. It was definitely harmless to ordinary people. In order to prevent any hidden dangers, ordinary people were forbidden from visiting it.
The sky gradually darkened. The hotels near the Universe Tower started to become lively. Many tourists came to watch the night scenery of the Universe Tower at night.
On Universe Tower, the lights were lit up. The bright lights decorated the entire tower beautifully, especially the colorful glass lamp decorations. It was even more dazzling.
One sports car after another stopped outside the scenic area. It was so crowded that not even a drop of water could leak out.
These luxury cars, without exception, were all over a million. They were Bentley, Maybach, and Rolls Royce Phantom.
Ordinary BMW and Mercedes-Benz appeared rather inconspicuous here.
The person in charge of Universe Tower had already opened up a special passageway in the scenic area. After accepting the arrangements for the decisive battle, the scenic area immediately imposed restrictions on ordinary tourists.
After all, some things were better spread among martial artists. It was not a good thing to let ordinary people know.
The person in charge was a middle-aged man. He was quite short and his height was just over 160 centimeters. He was relatively older and was a little old man. However, his eyes were quite spirited and looked as sharp as an eagle. No one dared to look down on him.
As he received the important people from all over the place, he also arranged the matters of the scenic area in an orderly manner.
"Old Man Zhong! You're really early!" At this moment, a middle-aged woman's laughter suddenly came from not far away.
The little old man looked back and said rather helplessly, "Don't call me Old Man Zhong. It's not good to let people hear it. I have a name, alright? I'm Zhong Wu, let your old man call me Old Man. I'm already old!"
The middle-aged woman rolled her eyes at him. "You make it sound like you're not old. You're already 60 years old. What, you're still not old?"
Zhong Wu looked helpless. He could not do anything to the woman in front of him. "Alright, alright! I won't argue with you!"
The middle-aged woman chuckled and said, "How is it? Who are they?"
0
" They haven't arrived yet. How would I know? Do you think I have such a good memory?" Zhong Wu said unhappily, "Among the people who are here for the time being, if I remember correctly, there should be a few people from the Gai Family. After that, other than the Gai Family, no one from the Clan of Heaven Name came. All of them are from small families."
