Fang Hao stepped out from that light gate, the dazzling sunlight making him squint.
He subconsciously took a deep breath; the air carried the scent of soil and vegetation, no longer possessing that feeling of dead silence or ethereal nothingness from inside the heaven-reaching pagoda.
Feet firmly on the ground, he had made it out alive!
He hurriedly looked around. Good heavens, the large plaza outside the heaven-reaching pagoda was empty; there wasn't even a ghost in sight!
The previously bustling crowd—the Mu Family princes and royals, the Heavenly Sword Sect Geniuses, and the various Loose Cultivators—were all gone!
Only he remained, standing lonely at the base of the tower like a fool.
"What's going on? Where are the people? Did they all die in the tower? That can't be, right?"
Fang Hao muttered to himself, hurriedly taking out his Guest Elder token to check the time.
At this glance, his eyes nearly popped out!
"Damn! Almost three months have passed?!"
