Chapter 3682 A Day's End In The Candidacy

Sometime later, when Isabella, Flamerose, and Frostrose collected all the required Crystal Units, they headed towards the Fourth Hidden Pagoda.

Being able to fly better for short distances, Flamerose and Frostrose carried Isabella.

They flew over that Peak-Level Immortal Emperor Crystal Beast Dragon and landed in the vicinity of the Fourth Hidden Pagoda, shocking many inheritors.

"Isabella!"

Crystia yelled out.

She swiftly rushed to Isabella, her Immortal Emperor Stage undulations brimming with vitality. However, she came to a stop as Flamerose and Frostrose stood in front of Isabella, defending her.

"It's fine..."

Isabella calmed them and walked towards Crystia, her lips curling, "I see you still haven't entered the Fourth Hidden Pagoda yet."

"Unfortunately, yes..." Crystia felt embarrassed.

Isabella told her to take care of the Fourth Hidden Pagoda and win it. However, they simply lacked the Crystal Units required to enter the Fourth Hidden Pagoda, so after Isabella left and the crystal mountain nearby was occupied by that Peak-Level Immortal Emperor Crystal Beast Dragon, they never got the chance to enter.

"We found a crystal mountain on the opposite side, but it is infested with High-Stage Immortal Emperor Crystal Beasts right now, so we only need to wait a bit more until our supply of Crystal Units comes, and we'll be able to enter."

Crystia smirked. She came closer and patted Isabella's shoulder, sending her a physical soul transmission.

"Don't worry. We'll kick out those newly joined idiots who replaced you and take back your rightful place."

"Nothing is rightful here~" Isabella replied with a cynical smile, but she quickly hid it behind her veil.

"However, I'm joining it even if it costs me tooth and nail." She waved her hand, appearing to suppress some kind of extreme fury, "I got helpers. We'll evict Girias, Harmon, and one other guy, giving space for me, Zahara, and Yeyin."

"O-okay..."

For them, she also suppressed her urge to slaughter and waited for Girias and Harmon to return. She guessed people might've died to the powerful beasts or escaped or even ambushed by the two of them while mining crystals, so if there weren't enough people, she had to prepare herself to ignore their presence so they could all enter the Fourth Hidden Pagoda.

Otherwise, she was only going to get delayed.

For Evelynn and Shirley, Isabella felt she must clear this trial as fast as possible since it would also help them, increasing their chances of survival since it would shatter one of their cultivation seals.

The Candidates were already ascending into the Immortal Emperor Stage, so she was extra worried for them. As for herself, she had Flamerose and Frostrose, so she wasn't worried much. Although she couldn't tell what they were thinking, she had heard from Shirley that they were an honorable bunch, so she expected them to adhere to their words.

And as she expected, Girias and Harmon returned— with fewer people than required.

"..."

Isabella glared at them, noticing that they had become Immortal Emperors. They were grinning at her as though they weren't afraid, but noticing Zahara and Yeyin, their expressions turned cautious.

They wouldn't underestimate King-Tier Immortal Emperor Phoenixes.

Looking at them stare at each other, Crystia and Noctis wanted to know what happened between them. They knew Isabella should've been ambushed if she was this hostile against them but since she didn't say anything, they kept quiet.

"Let's start."

Isabella uttered coldly.

Her presence, along with Flamerose and Frostrose's presence, allowed them to make up for the required numbers. Girias and Harmon didn't say anything.

They all got together and the Fourth Hidden Pagoda flashed with a white light, highlighting all the people involved as it projected the total number of Crystal Units required for all of them, allowing them to chalk out every ounce of crystal they had.

As soon as the requirement was met, they all disappeared from the scene.

"..."

The Peak-Level Immortal Crystal Beast Dragon that had been guarding the crystal mountain below them narrowed its eyes as though wondering where they had gone.

Inside the Fourth Hidden Pagoda, Isabella woke up to a string of words appearing in front of her eyes.
