Chapter 172 6 Key
The Floating Cloud Tower instantly returned to silence. The Ye Luoli warriors looked around, trying to find a way to enter the true inner chamber of the Floating Cloud Tower.
Soon, everyone's attention was drawn to the six statues that were right next to the wall.
Although the white statue has no color, it is lifelike and looks about two people tall.
"These are...our statues?" Blue Peacock looked around and discovered that the six statues depicted the six guardian fairies: Zhuo Yan, Blue Peacock, Jasmine, Bright Color, Dark Silk, and Black Fragrant Ling.
Their expressions were different, but they were all making the same gesture, their outstretched hands seemingly holding something.
"Look, there are words under this statue!" Liangcai called to the others to look at their statue. On the white platform below the statue, there was a golden plaque.
"Sweetness is made up of love, and sweet words flow through the palm of magic." Jasmine recited her words, which were overheard by Shu Yan who was standing next to her.
"Let me see." Shu Yan walked to Jasmine's side and looked at the words under the statue: "Sweetness is made up of love, honeyed syrup... flowing through the palm of a magical hand..."
"Palm of the hand..." Shu Yan looked at the sentence thoughtfully, then suddenly looked up and saw the empty hand of the Jasmine statue. Suddenly she understood something: "Jasmine, quickly put your staff in the statue's hand."
“Okay.” Jasmine knew that Shu Yan must have figured out something, so she summoned her magic staff without hesitation and placed it in the statue’s hand.
As the scepter shimmered with pink light, the gem on the statue's head also emitted a beam of pink light, pointing directly to the center of the hall.
"What's this?" Everyone was taken aback by this sudden turn of events.
"Everyone, place your staffs in the hands of the corresponding statues. This is the key to unlocking the secret of the Floating Cloud Tower!" Shu Yan said to the other fairies.
"Alright." All the fairies conjured their magic staffs in unison and placed them on the statue.
Four equally intense beams of light shone into the center, and five beams of light converged at one point, but ultimately fell short by one-sixth.
"It seems that Hei Xiangling will have to come along too." Shu Yan sighed, wondering if Xin Ling would have entrusted the wrong person.
"Can we trust Hei Xiangling?" Zhuo Yan asked hesitantly. "After all, Hei Xiangling betrayed us a long time ago for Feng Yinsha. If we make her a gatekeeper of Fuyun Tower as well, will she continue to help the Queen?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Xiao and An Ling exchanged a knowing glance. Others might not know, but they were definitely not on Xin Ling and Mandora's side.

[The Human World, Zina's Home]
When Qi Na and Fei Ling opened their eyes, they found that they had somehow returned to their home and were in Qi Na's bedroom.
The beam of light that brought them back here gradually extended, transforming into the shape of Xinling.
Xin Ling's illusory figure called softly, "Qi Na, Fei Ling."
"Manager!"
"Fairy Xinling!"
Qi Na and Fei Ling were drawn to Xin Ling's phantom image and responded in unison.
"Qina, I won't reveal my message to everyone. There are some things I only want to say to the two of you alone."
Xinling spoke mysteriously. With a wave of her hand, a beam of light fell in front of Qi Na. Qi Na reached out and caught it, and a purple book of destiny decorated with hearts and bows fell into her hands.
"What is this?" Qi Na and Fei Ling looked at Xin Ling in confusion.
“This is your Book of Destiny. You must first open the barrier plaque, and then open the book.” Xin Ling said patiently, “This Book of Destiny can only be opened by the two of you. Do not let anyone else see the secrets inside.”
"The Book of Destiny?" Zina looked at the book in her hand with curiosity, while Fei Ling asked in surprise, "What secrets does it hold that even others cannot know?"
Unfortunately, Xinling is now just a phantom carrying rumors and will not answer their questions.
"Now accept the last bit of magic I leave you! This will initiate your new contract!" Xinling's illusory figure said, as two beams of light fell upon Qi Na and Fei Ling: "Ye Luoli Magic, Life's Affairs, All Things, Contract Upgrade!"
"Ye Luoli Magic, unveiling the mystery, the Shadow Staff!" Fei Ling obtained her own staff and forged a new Ye Luoli contract with Qi Na, making her magic much more powerful.
"I never thought I'd have a magic staff too!" Fei Ling said, looking at her magic staff with some surprise.
"Feiling, even though the shopkeeper has vanished, he still left us with his last bit of strength." Qi Na and Feiling exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with barely perceptible mockery, not with emotion.
After all, they weren't on Xinling's side. How could they not be pleased that the enemy was eagerly offering up their strength?
