Alas, although Lin Fuxiang and An Yumei regarded Gu Zi as a formidable enemy, Gu Zi had no intention of fighting with them. She let Zhou Heng take her into the Nine Mystic Trial Tower to continue her challenges.
Both women felt as if they had punched the air, utterly frustrated and not in the mood to speak, their spirits dampened.
By late night, Lin Fuxiang, being self-conscious, finally couldn't stay any longer and returned to her own room, while An Yumei dragged Zhou Heng into the Nine Mystic Trial Tower, accompanied also by a person.
Zhou Heng's control over the Treasure Pagoda was becoming more complete. He could now segment the ten layers of the tower. Without his permission, those on the second layer could only stay on the second layer forever unless they had the power to break through the Nine Mystic Trial Tower itself—inside, they had to listen to him!
He sealed the first layer, ensuring that Gu Zi could by no means intrude.
