Time slowly started to pass and very soon, a year has already passed.
Ye Xiao was still unconscious and during this period of time, the young lady that rescued him came to see his situation dozens of times.
Almost everyone had already lost their hope regarding Ye Xiao. Even Grandmaster Song had said that Ye Xiao might never wake up ever again and even if he does, it will take an extremely long period of time for him to wake up.
The young lady was called Su Xue Er. She was the first miss of the Su family that was currently facing a problem that brought the Su Family to the death door.
Canglan City was a free city. It was surrounded by three countries but no country ever dared to take this city under them. And the reason for that was the owner of the Tower.
The tower has existed in Canglan City for more than a thousand years. It is said that the owner of the tower was a very mysterious and powerful person, powerful enough to terrorize the three countries with his strength.
This person was the sole reason why Canglan City was never taken under any country.
The owner of the tower has lived for thousands of years. A few hundred years ago, he accepted a disciple, who was the Su family's ancestor. He founded the Su Family and the tower became the 'home' of this family.
The tower has a total of seven floors, of which, from the ground floor to the fourth floor belong to the Su family. The owner of the tower resides on the Sixth floor. As for the Sixth floor which was also the top floor of the tower, no one was allowed to go there. Even the Su family's ancestor who was the only disciple of the owner or tower has never gone there.
It is rumoured that on the top floor, there exists something divine. Something that could help one reign supreme in the entire continent.
Due to these rumours, this tower attracted the attention of many cultivators but none of them dared to get them and the reason was the one and only owner of the tower.
Two years ago, the owner of the tower mysteriously disappeared, leaving behind the Su family who took over the Tower.
When the owner of the tower mysteriously disappeared, all the powerful people started to come and create problems for the Su family.
They tried many times to convince the Su family to let them go to the top floor but the Su family never gave them their permission.
According to the Su family, the tower was left behind by their ancestor's master and since their ancestor's master was not here, it was the Su family's responsibility to protect the tower and its belongings.
All the powerful forces from the three countries started to pressure the Su Family to let them enter the top floor. But after being rejected by the Su Family every time, they started to plot against them.
They were afraid that the owner of the tower might appear again and if they did something to the Su family, the owner of the tower will definitely take revenge.
So they decided against their will and did not attack the Su Family but they also did not let the Su family go.
Since they could not do anything, all those powerful forces formed an alliance and informed the young sect leader of the Hundred Sword Sect which was the most powerful sect of the entire Empire that controls many countries including the three countries.
When the young sect leader came to know about the mysterious thing that could grant one the power, enough to reign over the entire continent.
After knowing everything, he gave some benefits to the alliance of the three countries and immediately came to Canglan City in order to get the mysterious object on the top floor of the tower.
When he was about to use force to enter the tower, he saw Su Xue Er. Seeing her beauty, he immediately changed his mind and proposed the Su Family for marriage, only to be rejected by Su Xue Er.
In anger, he gave the Su Family three years to consider about his proposal carefully. After three years, if the Su Family still did not agree to marry Su Xue Er to him, he will not only take the thing on the top floor forcefully, he will also destroy the entire Su Family.
Two years have already passed and now, there was only one year left until the deadline.
In these two years, Su Family dispatched many people to search for the owner of the tower but failed to find anything related to him. Because of this, the Su Family was in a very difficult situation currently.
In the entire Canglan City, the Su Family's ancestor was the most powerful person. His cultivation was at the Fifth Stage of the Martial Emperor realm. Su Xue Er was very talented. She was only nineteen this year but she has already broken through to the Martial Emperor realm a few months ago.
But even so, they were not powerful enough to deal with the young sect master of the Hundred Sword Sect. Not to mention that behind him was the whole Hundred Sword Sect, his own cultivation has long reached the Peak of Martial Emperor Realm while he was at the same age as Su Xue Er.
Being the most powerful sect in the entire empire, the cultivators of the Hundred Sword Sect has long become very arrogant. Even the current emperor of the empire was unable to do anything to them because there was a Martial Saint Realm cultivator seeing over the Hundred Sword Sect.
In the entire empire, only the Hundred Sword Sect was the only sect that was being seen over by a Martial Saint realm cultivator. This cultivator was the previous sect leader of the Hundred Sword Sect who had broken through to the Martial Saint Realm five years ago.
