The name Zhao Shuning.
Perhaps it's not very well - known elsewhere.
But for the students in the Misty Rain Tower, this name represents a legend.
Teacher Su Nian, Elder Xie Bo, and even their current tower master, Kong Shishuang, all speak highly of Zhao Shuning when her name is mentioned.
Zhao Shuning.
When she entered the Misty Rain Tower, she was only five years old.
She was the youngest disciple the Misty Rain Tower had ever taken in.
Looking back at the past and even now, there has never been another person who awakened their spiritual and soul powers at the age of five.
Zhao Shuning was the first in the Misty Rain Tower.
It is said that although she was young at that time, on the very first day she came to the Misty Rain Tower, she had an argument with Kong Shishuang, the current tower master. Moreover, Kong Shishuang, who was already the young miss of the Misty Rain Tower back then, not only failed to get the better of Zhao Shuning but also fell into the lotus pond and made a complete mess of herself.
As for Zhao Shuning.
She was quite kind to the new students of the same level, and her abilities amazed many.
It is said that at that time, when faced with the unfair treatment from the elders, she was the first one to stand up. Moreover, since her time, the tradition of the senior students bullying the freshmen in the Misty Rain Tower no longer existed.
Zhao Shuning of that year was a legendary figure.
Although she didn't graduate with the tower master and the others later, in the end, everyone remembered her in their hearts.
"I've also heard that it was that little girl who founded Shuiyunsheng back then. Later, because she had too many things to handle, she handed it over to Xie An, the Viper. I don't know if it's true."
This matter still needs further verification.
However, no matter what.
The senior sister who appeared just now was their savior.
At this moment in the Misty Rain Tower.
It was on the verge of collapse.
Kong Shishuang stood on the highest city wall, using all her strength to resist the invasion of the demonic beasts alone.
Behind Kong Shishuang were a group of students in the Misty Rain Tower uniforms.
However, at this moment, most of their clothes were stained with blood, and their spirits were mostly in a state of exhaustion.
It was obvious that they had already experienced a fierce battle of a considerable scale before.
Now, if it weren't for Kong Shishuang, the tower master, holding on desperately, the city wall of the Misty Rain Tower would have been breached by the demonic beasts long ago.
Kong Shishuang's abilities were indeed much stronger than they were forty years ago.
In the early years.
The Misty Rain Tower was booming.
Almost everyone in the Eastern Wilderness knew that Xie An, the Viper and the leader of Shuiyunsheng, was from the Misty Rain Tower.
Moreover, because Kong Shishuang was on good terms with Zhao Shuning.
The earliest group of Shuiyunsheng's followers also came from the Misty Rain Tower. That's why Xie An protected the Misty Rain Tower several times.
Out of old feelings, he also saved Kong Shishuang several times.
At first, Kong Shishuang didn't have much affection for the Viper. After all, at the beginning, she didn't think highly of his reputation.
It was only later, after graduation, due to some reasons, they spent more time together. And since the Viper saved the Misty Rain Tower from danger several times.
After many such incidents.
Kong Shishuang developed different feelings for Xie An.
But later, something unexpected happened, and she completely broke up with Xie An.
Moreover, the proud - headed Kong Shishuang announced in the Nine - Continent Continent at that time.
From then on, her Misty Rain Tower would have nothing to do with Shuiyunsheng anymore.
So, this led to the current situation.
That She Shi dared to oppress the Misty Rain Tower in many ways by relying on the power of Shuiyunsheng.
Although Kong Shishuang was unwilling, unfortunately, her abilities were no match for She Shi. After several confrontations, she suffered successive defeats.
As days went by, the Misty Rain Tower was no longer as imposing as before.
Now.
The fierce beasts attacked and arrived above the Misty Rain Tower.
She couldn't get any help from anywhere, and her proud nature also prevented her from lowering her head to ask Shuiyunsheng for help again.
"Tower master, if you can't hold on anymore, don't waste your soul power."
"No, since I am the tower master of the Misty Rain Tower and have received the offerings from your families, I promised your parents that I would stand in front of you in the most dangerous times. You go first. I can still hold off this demonic beast for a while."
She still remembered that Zhao Shuning once said that Kong Shishuang was like a peacock, beautiful and arrogant.
She never thought so before. But now, if she had just lowered her head back then, would her students not have to suffer this catastrophic disaster with her today?
"This fierce beast was mostly sent by the Shuiyunsheng gang. How could they, the number one gang in the world, do such a despicable thing!"
"Shut up!"
It was Kong Shishuang who stopped them.
"Tower master, now you're still speaking for Shuiyunsheng. In my opinion, Shuiyunsheng is full of despicable villains. They promised that the Shanhuazhou Peak would always belong to our Misty Rain Tower and that no one from Shuiyunsheng would interfere. But now, the black market is operating more and more openly, and even She Shi has killed many of our Misty Rain Tower disciples. Shuiyunsheng is so ruthless that they even don't spare their own alma mater. Such a sect only has a shiny and just appearance, but inside, it's rotten to the core."
"Yes, they say one thing and do another. We don't need to join such a gang!"
"All of you shut up!"
Kong Shishuang was obviously angry and almost gave the fierce beast a chance. She felt a tightness in her chest and took two or three steps back. But she quickly formed seals to resist the attack of the fierce beast.
"Tower master!"
Kong Shishuang finally managed to catch her breath.
She quickly said, "This matter must have nothing to do with Shuiyunsheng."
"I'm the one who has dragged you down."
"The leader of Shuiyunsheng would never do such a thing."
Although Kong Shishuang and Shuiyunsheng had parted on bad terms, she knew that Xie An would never resort to such despicable means.
However, she had no way to explain.
Because She Shi did have the identity token of Shuiyunsheng.
"You all go out through the back door now. I'll hold them off. But children, after you go out, you must promise me that you won't spread rumors. Today's incident has nothing to do with Shuiyunsheng. I want you to swear in the name of your families that you will never say a single word unfavorable to Shuiyunsheng!"
"Tower master!"
"Hurry!"
"Okay! We believe in the tower master!"
Everyone behind Kong Shishuang raised their right hands together, holding up three fingers, and were about to swear to the heavens.
But before they could speak.
A mocking laugh came from the sky.
"Kong Shishuang, I didn't expect that a small Misty Rain Tower like yours could go to such lengths for Shuiyunsheng."
On the back of the fierce beast, a handsome young master suddenly appeared.
He was dressed in a purple robe and walked slowly from the back of the fierce beast.
As he suddenly appeared, his soul power made the surrounding air vibrate.
If there was really something lacking about this man, it should be his feet.
He walked with a limp. His feet seemed to have suffered some serious injuries.
