Armipotent

Chapter 1024The group arrived at the main plaza at the dimensional tower area. It was more lively than usual as the usual empty plaza was now crowded with people.        

Tang Shaoyang subconsciously activated his [Spirit Eyes], trying to find out what happened. It was unusual for this place to be crowded. He soon figured out what happened through [Spirit Eyes]. The crowd originated from the entrance to the dimensional tower. A quarrel happened at the entrance, and it was between the Uprising Guild and the newcomer Olympus.    

Meanwhile, Lu An did not really care what happened. ”Donʼt block the way. We are going to enter the tower!” The young man started to shove people, making a path toward the entrance. Marshal Alton followed the young man, shoving people, but the old man did not yell.    

Lu Anʼs move certainly provoked the crowd. ”What are you doing, brat!?” An angry man yelled at Lu An.    

The young man meant business as he immediately released his killing intent. Lu An spread the killing intent instead of directing it toward the young man. Killing intent was similar to aura, something Lu An gained after killing many monsters and people. The crowd immediately stepped away from the young man, terrified by Lu An.    

Zhang Mengyao and Aleesa were on his left, while Virion and Moonsong were on his right. They truly acted as a bodyguard, forming a barrier so one could get close to him. Deep inside, Tang Shaoyang was embarrassed, but he kept his composure, maintaining his flat expression.    

The crowd belonged to Olympus, and most of them did not know who he was. However, they were smart enough not to block the group after Lu An released his killing intent. They were approaching the entrance, and the argument became clearer.    

The argument was between the leading figures of the Uprising Guild and Olympus. Tang Shaoyang saw the power ranger confronting Zander and the other three men on the side. He heard a whole argument. The conclusion was the Uprising Guild bullied the newcomer. That was the perfect sentence to explain the whole situation.    

”How come I never heard of such a rule before?” Tang Shaoyang interrupted the heated argument between Zander and Alkis, the blue-armored guy. Of course, he did not mean to help the guy; he just did not like how the Uprising Guild acted. On top of that, these guys were blocking the path to the entrance.    

All the people present turned toward Tang Shaoyang. Zanderʼs face turned ugly at the sight of Tang Shaoyangʼs group. At this time, the ten factions knew that the Tang Empire was the strongest among the eleven VIP factions. There was no need for them to fight because the dimensional towerʼs progress told them all.    

The Tang Empire was the first one to clear the first ten floors. Zander had experienced the seventh floor, and he was well aware of how hard each floor was. The fact that the Tang Empire managed to clear the first ten floors much faster than any of them was proof that the Tang Empire was not some force they could fight against.    

The ten factions were cautious of the Tang Empire. There was no conflict between the factions ever since the World Union and their allies attempted to fight Zhang Mengyao. The ten factions were well aware that they could not fight each other to establish themselves because they did not want the Tang Empire to take that advantage to fight against them all. So, it had been peaceful until today, a new faction emerged. The first faction that managed to reach the tower without teleportation.    

Zanderʼs plan was to force the newcomer to submit to his guild. He used force because he wanted to absorb the new factions before the other factions returned from their respective floor. The newcomer did not have teleportation, so if the newcomer tried to escape, they could fight them outside the city. That was the fastest way to absorb the new faction by using force, but his plan was foiled if the Tang Empire intervened.    

”Please donʼt intervene in our guildʼs matter, Sir Tang. These people disrespect our guild leader, so we ought to teach these newcomers that they canʼt do whatever they want here.” Upendo, Uprising Guildʼs Vice Leader, responded to Tang Shaoyang politely with a slight bow.    

”We will be late to the meeting, Your Majesty. Should I kick them out of the entrance?” Lu An had become more impatient as he offered a violent solution.    

Zander and his guild members were completely blocking the entrance. They did not give space to pass through even though Tang Shaoyang and the group headed toward the tower. Lu Anʼs hand reached for the sword in his waist, getting ready to fight.    

Zhang Mengyao flicked her finger at the back of Lu Anʼs head. ”You will get us kicked out of the town, and we will not just be late but canʼt get to the meeting.”    

Tang Shaoyang shook his head and walked toward the entrance. ”I donʼt care what happened, but you all should stop playing around. We need you to reach the eleventh floor as soon as possible. Itʼs not the time for us to fight with each other. Starting on the eleventh floor, we will be fighting against the other worlds. Donʼt you remember that Earth is not the only one inside the tower? There are twenty-four other worlds inside, and you will meet them on the eleventh floor.”    

The Uprising Guildʼs members split up, creating a path for Tang Shaoyang to pass. Zander furrowed his brow, looking toward Tang Shaoyangʼs group. He thought of what Tang Shaoyang had said just now, and he did not expect to hear that from the strongest faction.    

Zander perceived that as an invitation to work together, and he got new information. He remembered that the Sky Tower accommodates twenty-five worlds. They had to fight against the other twenty-four worlds to get the resource in the dimensional tower. That was a piece of important information for the Uprising Guild, who had just finished the seventh floor.    

What surprised Zander even more, was the fact that the strongest faction was asking his guild to work together. It showed even the Tang Empire was not strong enough for the eleventh floor.    

Zander furrowed his brow deeper. If the Tang Empire had a hard time on the eleventh floor, then his guild would do worse for sure. ʼI need to plan something for the eleventh floor. I have to upgrade my force to another level or maybe more than that if we want to survive on the eleventh floor.ʼ
