"We're old acquaintances.
Speaking of which, Bai Suyuan and I joined the Fire Dragon Sect at the same time, but it seems that Brother Su also knows this woman? "Han Li nodded and asked.
Although Bai Suyuan was extremely talented, she was taken away by the Golden Immortal Dao Lord with the surname Yun as soon as she joined the sect. She seemed to be rather low-key in the sect these years and did not make any movements. Not many people should know about her.
"I received a mission from Dao Lord Yun a few years ago and met this woman by chance.
It's said that this woman now has the Moonlight Immortal Physique, and she already has such a cultivation base in less than a hundred years of cultivation.
Now that she has made a name for herself, I believe she will soon become famous and shock the entire Fire Dragon Sect. "Su Tongxiao praised.
"Since Bai Suyuan has been taken in by Dao Lord Yun and was promoted as a legacy disciple, why would she appear in this trial?" Han Li asked doubtfully.
"Even so, the rules of the sect cannot be broken.
This woman has been in closed-door cultivation. Now that her cultivation base has reached the Void Refinement Realm, she must pass the trial of the legacy disciple in order to be qualified as a true legacy disciple. "Su Tongxiao said.
"So it was like that." Han Li nodded with a pensive expression.
At this moment, a slightly plump Young man walked in from outside the Chaoyang Hall. He was wearing an inner sect disciple uniform and seemed to be here to participate in the trial.
As a result, when Han Li glanced at him casually, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
This person was none other than Sun Ke who arrived at the Ancient Cloud Continent by ship with him.
He did not know what method this man used to join the Fire Dragon Sect in just a few decades, and he could even participate in this trial.
As soon as he stepped into the hall, everyone in the hall looked at him.
Sun Ke seemed to be a little unused to being stared at by everyone. He stopped walking and smiled at the crowd.
Those high-status inner disciples looked at Sun Ke from head to toe with disdain in their eyes, but they quickly looked away and continued with their own topic. Only Bai Suyuan smiled at Sun Ke in response.
Sun Ke didn't seem to care about the reactions of the crowd. He walked to a corner of the hall and stood still. He began to size up the surroundings and the crowd.
The people in the hall were divided into three distinct groups. There were eight to nine people in the largest group, which was almost half of the people in the hall. At the center of the group was a handsome young man who was wearing embroidered robes and a jade belt. There was a purple mark between his eyebrows which was flashing with purple light, making him look rather mysterious. His cultivation base had reached the Late Void Refinement Realm.
Not far from the handsome young man stood five or six people, surrounding another man with an extraordinary bearing.
This person's skin was slightly dark, and he was tall and slender. His appearance was also extremely handsome, but his eyebrows were slightly slender. He exuded a feminine aura, and when his eyes opened and closed, a faint cold light flashed.
This black-skinned man's cultivation base had also reached the Late Void Refinement Realm.
The expressions of these two groups were the most relaxed. They chatted and laughed, and there were even people who laughed out loud from time to time.
The last group was Bai Suyuan. She was also surrounded by a few female cultivators. Even though they weren't bad looking, they paled in comparison to Bai Suyuan's peerlessly beautiful appearance.
Bai Suyuan lowered her eyelids slightly and remained silent. Her body faintly emitted a white light, and she looked like a snow lotus that was quietly blooming.
She remained silent, but the female cultivators beside her were looking around the hall and whispering to each other from time to time.
As the handsome young man and the black-skinned man chatted and laughed with the people beside them, they would intentionally or unintentionally look at Bai Suyuan. A hint of passion flashed through their eyes from time to time.
The remaining people were like Sun Keyi. They stood silently in the corners of the hall.
Not long after, the handsome young man glanced at Bai Suyuan's icy and beautiful face once again. He coughed softly and walked towards her.
"You must be Junior Sister Bai Suyuan, right? I'm Qi Huanyu.
Nice to meet you. I've long heard of Junior Sister's great name. You're Sect Master Yun's disciple. Unfortunately, I've never had the chance to meet you. Only today do I have the fortune to see your true appearance. "Qi Huanyu smiled politely. His tone revealed a sense of regret for not having met her earlier.
"Senior Brother Qi is too polite. You're Vice Sect Master Qi's junior disciple. Your talent is outstanding, and you're known as the number one outstanding talent among our generation of disciples. I've long heard of you." Bai Suyuan's beautiful eyes flickered slightly as she pursed her lips and smiled faintly.
Qi Huanyu was slightly startled. Even though he had a reputation, he had never been called the number one outstanding talent. Could it be that he had obtained this title without his knowledge?
He looked at the smiling young girl in front of him and could not help but feel secretly happy. He admitted it honestly and said with a smile, "Junior Sister, you're too kind. It's just an empty title. It's not worth mentioning.
With Junior Sister's peerless talent, I believe it won't be long before you surpass me. "
"Hmph!
Number one outstanding talent?
Qi Huanyu, when did you get this title? This Tang has never heard of it before. Could it be that you gave it to yourself? "A cold snort came from the side. It was the dark-skinned man who walked over with a sneer on his face.
Qi Huanyu's face turned cold. He glanced at the dark-skinned man and slowly said to Bai Suyuan, "I'm afraid Junior Sister Bai doesn't recognize this person, right?
This person is also a member of our inner court. His name is Tang Chuan. "
"You …" The dark-skinned man's face darkened when he heard this.
"Senior Brother Tang is the only son of Heavenly Pill Hall's Elder Tang Jingming. The Nether Roaming Mysterious Technique that you cultivate is also the best in the inner court. How could I not know about it? If there's a chance, I hope Senior Brother Tang can give me some pointers."
Bai Suyuan's watery eyes looked at Tang Chuan. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and a seductive aura that could move one's soul was emitted.
Tang Chuan felt like a spring breeze caressing his face when he heard this. There was no longer any anger in his heart. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Junior Sister Bai is too polite. As long as Junior Sister asks, I will absolutely not refuse.
Actually, this Nether Roaming Mysterious Technique is incomparably marvelous. I only have a basic understanding of it … "
"A mere Nether Roaming Mysterious Technique is nothing. I don't think it's worth mentioning." Qi Huanyu saw the two of them chatting happily. He didn't know why, but he was inexplicably angry and sneered.
"What!
You dare to look down on the Nether Roaming Mysterious Technique? Fine, this Tang will let you have a good look today! "Tang Chuan was instantly furious. A faint black light shone from his body, and a black fog appeared.
Qi Huanyu wasn't the slightest bit afraid. The mark between his eyebrows glowed with a purple light.
The people beside the two of them also glared at each other. The atmosphere in the main hall became tense.
Bai Suyuan smiled faintly. She took two steps back without leaving a trace, leaving an empty space for the two of them.
"Presumptuous!
This is the Chao Yang Hall. Are you here to participate in the assessment or to compete?! "A majestic voice suddenly sounded in the main hall.
An invisible pressure instantly enveloped the entire hall, causing everyone on Qi Huanyu's and Tang Chuan's sides to feel their breathing stagnate. They were practically unable to move at all. Even Bai Suyuan, who was not far from the two groups of people, had a hint of redness on her face.
This pressure was fleeting. The next moment, everyone felt that their movements had returned to normal.
It was just that the tense atmosphere that was originally at daggers drawn had disappeared in this moment of tension and relaxation.
A white light flashed. It was the figure of the square-faced Youth called Fang Yu. He released his Mahayana Stage aura without concealment, causing the surrounding air to tremble.
His gaze swept past Qi Huanyu and Tang Chuan. Finally, he looked at Bai Suyuan with a deep meaning, and then he withdrew his gaze.
Seeing this, Qi Huanyu and Tang Chuan glared at each other and coldly snorted. They turned around and walked away.
Bai Suyuan slightly lowered her head at this moment and retreated to the side.
"Okay.
Now that everyone is here, the test will begin.
Before that, I will first announce the contents of this trial. Remember, I will only say it once. This concerns the success or failure of the mission, as well as your life and death. You must all listen carefully! "Fang Yu didn't pursue the matter any further and directly announced.
Sun Ke and the others who were standing in the corner of the main hall walked over and listened attentively.
"Your destination this time is the Mysterious Ice Mountain. I will bring you to the periphery of the mountain … You need to go deep into the mountain and kill a Snow Brown Profound Bear at the Form Synthesis Stage to complete the test … During this time, you can find someone to team up with, or you can kill it alone …"
… …
At the same time, in the side hall.
Han Li looked at everything that happened in the main hall. He could not help but feel a little speechless.
After not seeing Bai Suyuan for so many years, she had not changed at all. She was still so strange and clever.
Speaking of which, this woman seemed to have started to cultivate the cultivation method of the Sect Master with the surname Yun. Just now, the charm that was revealed in every frown and smile of hers was very brilliant. Unknowingly, two people of the same cultivation level had fallen into her trap.
Thinking of how even with his powerful divine sense, he had almost fallen into the charm of the Sect Master with the surname Yun, these two geniuses who seemed to have not experienced much in the world naturally could not escape.
Seeing that Fang Yu had begun to announce the content of the test, he naturally listened attentively.
"The Mysterious Ice Mountain … That's not far," Su Tongxiao muttered to himself at the side.
Han Li nodded.
He had basically understood the situation of the Ancient Cloud Continent. The Mysterious Ice Mountain that Fang Yu mentioned was located in the north of the Zhong Ming Continent, not too far from the Fire Dragon Path.
Moreover, the Mysterious Ice Mountain was not a very large mountain range. Although there were many demonic beasts in it, with their Perfected Immortal Realm cultivation, it should not be difficult for them to look after these inner sect disciples.
Thinking so, Han Li suddenly raised his head and looked at the entrance of the side hall.
Almost at the same time, the void at the entrance moved, and two figures appeared.
The one in front was a middle-aged man in a purple robe. His facial features were very ordinary, but he had a square face and thin eyebrows. His eyes were bright but not dazzling, and he gave people a feeling of prestige without being angry.
Next to him was a young woman in a white robe. Her facial features were picturesque, and her eyes were like silk. Impressively, she was Sect Master Yun, who he had met once in the past, Bai Suyuan's master.
Incomparably powerful auras were emitted from their bodies. The elegant middle-aged man's aura was not inferior to Sect Master Yun's, and it was even slightly more powerful.
"Sect Master Ouyang!
Sect Master Yun! "Su Tongxiao hurriedly stood up and saluted with his hands folded.
Hearing that, Han Li was secretly shocked, and he also stood up and saluted.
"Both of you are the secret guards for this test?" The purple-robed man asked slowly.
"Yes," Han Li and Su Tongxiao said in unison.
"You should already know the content of the test.
In this test, both of your tasks are to prevent accidents from happening. If it's an ordinary danger, let the disciples overcome it with their own ability. If they are not capable enough, it's okay if they die in the test.
Instead of dying outside, it's better for those unworthy disciples to die in the sect. "
The purple-robed man said unhurriedly. His tone was unquestionable, and it even contained a hint of killing intent.
"Sect Master Ouyang, can you explain the ordinary danger you just mentioned … so that we can follow your instructions?" Su Tongxiao asked after a slight hesitation.
…
