BOOM!
Instantly, the entire square erupted in an uproar, descending into a clamorous din.
"Why did it suddenly go out? What's happening?"
"Could it be... she failed?"
"Of course she failed. Why else would it extinguish so abruptly?"
"What a shame. She couldn't succeed in the end!"
"Heh, I heard that Lin Zhixia came from some small city on the mainland. It's good that she failed. How could a treasure from our Hong Kong Island's Glazed Tower fall into the hands of an outsider?"
"Shh, quiet down! Do you have a death wish? Even if she failed, she's still a future Half-step Empress!"
...
Across the square, throughout all of Hong Kong Island, and even on the online forums following the event, discussions were breaking out everywhere.
At the base of the Glazed Tower.
The expressions on the faces of the Flame Emperor, Chen Shouzheng, and the others changed.
This was the first time anyone had ever reached the ninth floor, so no one knew what this sudden turn of events meant.
