On the 17th Floor of Purgatory Gate, above the Abyss that led to the 18th Floor, sat five figures in a row. Eyes closed, they were each strenuously fending off the immense pressure seeping out from the Abyss, cultivating under this immense pressure.
The passage to the 17th Floor suddenly opened.
Emerging from the passage were a man and a woman.
The woman was none other than the Prison Director Victoria of Purgatory Gate, and the man was Quentin, who has now become the Chief of the House of Representatives.
"Elder ancestor, the pressure here is too intense; I can only go back to the 16th Floor," Victoria said.
The pressure on the 17th Floor was many times stronger than on the 16th Floor, and with Victoria's current strength, she truly couldn't withstand it. Thus, upon descending to this floor, her complexion also turned a sickly pale.
"Go ahead," Quentin nodded.
After Victoria left, he too raced towards the location of the Abyss.
