The cultivator occupying the fourteenth Trial Stele was from the Feng Family of Flame Demon Island.
These disciples from prominent families, usually so high and mighty, had their own pride and confidence. How could they let someone just slip past?
They had let Qian Shaoning pass because they were wary of his Taiyi Thunder Pill; it wasn't worth risking their lives over.
As for anyone else...
The members of the Feng Family attacked without hesitation, only to see a hundred-foot-long beam of pure black demonic light, like a bolt of silk, sweep past, ignoring all their magic and magical artifacts.
Immediately after, the Feng Family disciples' souls were thrown into disarray as they fell from the sky, their bodies wreathed in black flames.
The streak of sword light that was Fang Cheng paused for a moment before the Trial Stele, then elegantly flew off again, continuing his pursuit of Qian Shaoning.
The fifteenth Trial Stele was unoccupied.
