"The ancient beast has come out, let's go!"
A new day of mischief begins. The little guy stands up and walks with elegant steps, looking very proud and confident. He is followed by a group of young geniuses. It is so lively!
On the balcony of Building No. 8, Han Tian shook his head and smiled bitterly. This little guy has now regarded destroying the Zhao family as a daily routine and it is indispensable.
During these ten days, he also noticed something strange. The number of people in the backyard was gradually decreasing. Initially, there were nearly fifty people, but now there were a dozen less. Some disappeared inexplicably. He knew that the Zhao family had begun to take action.
After that, every night, he would hide in the dark and observe, and at three o'clock in the morning, Zhao Kuang would come with a few men in black and enter one of the attics. After a while, he would carry one or two people away.
Although Han Tian was furious, he did not act rashly in order not to alert the enemy. He just followed secretly. In the end, he found that the place where the Zhao family and Huoyun Sect exchanged hands was really at the Zhenling Stele. He also found an abnormal phenomenon. Most of the Zhao family disappeared, leaving only a small number of clansmen, Zhang He and Zhao Kuang, which was equivalent to an empty shell.
"Be prepared for a rainy day. Are you running away first? Humph! Where can you run to?"
Han Tian passed the news back to the sect through the Wanxiang Order. The leader of the Yan Sect immediately sent people to investigate. After a few days, they finally found out the reason. It turned out that the Zhao family had a secret base in the Hell City, and most of the Zhao family members had moved there.
He also got a piece of news that the Zhao family in the City of Hell secretly hid a flying fox. Now everything was clear. Han Tian was still wondering why the Zhao family ignored the little guy when he was so unscrupulous. It turned out that they were guilty.
Time passed quickly, and another ten days passed.
The Yan Sect's assessment competition was about to begin, and the number of people in the backyard was decreasing, until now only the people from the Tianzi Building were left. As for where those people were going, Zhao Kuang had also explained that the people here were rare geniuses and had to be sent to the sect in advance to report, but due to manpower constraints, only two to three people could be sent every day.
The others were naturally very surprised by this statement. They were so happy that they could enter Yanzong directly without passing the assessment. Only Han Tian sneered. He knew where these people were going, but he couldn't expose it.
That night, Han Tian came to the No. 9 attic of Tianzi and discussed with Xiaotian and Shishi. Because the assessment would start tomorrow, Zhao Kuang would definitely transfer all the remaining people at night. In order to avoid any accidents, he explained all the precautions and left.
Not long after, Zhao Kuang brought people over and served delicious food. Xiaotian and Shishi seemed to be fine and enjoyed the meal to their heart's content. But the little guy accidentally put the rejuvenation grass into the rice and ate it all at once, but the little girl did not do so.
At night, they fell asleep early. At three o'clock in the morning, several dark shadows sneaked into the room, holding several people, and disappeared into the backyard.
In the early morning, the sun rises and the sunlight shines down, turning the earth a light red.
The people sleeping in Tieshi Town woke up from their dreams one after another, and the tranquility and peace of the night were gradually broken by the noise.
Today is the day of assessment. If you pass, you will be successful. If you fail, you will be at the end of your rope and will have to wait until next year to try again.
All those who took part in the test sat on the ground, absorbing their energy, concentrating their thoughts and making their final effort.
Not until the last bit of energy faded away did everyone stop their training and stand up, all full of energy and vigor. Then they walked out of the room and gathered on the plain at the entrance of Tieshi Town, which was the location of today's assessment.
In a short while, the place was filled with figures and crowds, at least five hundred people. Fortunately, the plain was large enough to have enough room for them, so it was not overcrowded.
"Eh! Strange, why didn't any of the main leaders of the Zhao family show up?"
Everyone noticed something unusual. On the high platform in front, several middle-aged men dressed in Zhao family costumes were presiding, but none of the high-level figures such as Zhao He appeared.
"Whatever, as long as I can take part in the test, it's fine. I must pass this time. I'm not afraid of you making fun of me. This is my third time here. If I fail this time, I can only return to the village and become a hunter."
"I don't know what this assessment is. I don't want it to be like previous years, with everyone fighting in a melee. With my strength, I'm afraid I'll be eliminated in the first round again."
However, the opposite happened. As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man on the high platform looked around and shouted, "Like in previous years, the first round will be a free-for-all. Only half of the people can stay. Remember to stop at the right time and do not hurt anyone's life. Start!"
"Damn it!" Everyone couldn't help but swear. A melee means that everyone is fighting on their own, and everyone is an opponent. On one hand, they have to fight with others, and on the other hand, they have to be on guard against sneak attacks from behind. This is a test of their mental strength.
boom!!!
There were too many people in this place, making it difficult to defend. Before the middle-aged man could finish his words, dozens of people were ambushed, flying several feet away, spurting blood, their faces pale. It was obvious that they had lost their fighting power and were eliminated!
Scorpio Ridge, the spiritual monument.
Compared with the plains, it is particularly quiet here.
In front of the Zhenling Monument, a hundred feet away, there was a towering mountain with steep cliffs, no grass growing on it, and it was bare and difficult to climb. Halfway up, there was a ten-foot-wide cave entrance, which was pitch black and impossible to see.
A golden light suddenly appeared. It was not very bright, but the scenery in the cave could be seen clearly.
Han Tian got up and looked at the dozens of people lying on the ground. These were the young men from the Zhao family's backyard, not one more, not one less. His face was gloomy and he was angry. He said, "Humph, the sect treated you well, but you did such a thing. You deserve to die!"
"Quack..." A frog croaked, and the little guy crawled out from Shishi's arms, looked around, then pointed at Wutan and gestured, meaning that he could be given the antidote now.
Han Tian nodded. He had a bad feeling that something big was going to happen next.
The little guy took out the rejuvenation grass from the little girl's sleeve and stuffed it into Wutan's mouth. Then he smiled playfully at Han Tian, lay in Shishi's arms, closed his eyes and pretended to be dead.
"You bastard, you are so disloyal." Han Tian cursed.
The effect of the rejuvenation grass is very strong. After more than ten breaths, Wu Tian's tightly closed eyes moved slightly, and then slowly opened, revealing confusion: "What is this? Why do I feel like I have slept for a long time? Huh? I didn't go to find Xiaoyi, why am I lying here sleeping?"
Wu Tianshi vigorously patted his dizzy head, and with this pat, the dusty memories emerged like a tide, and he remembered everything.
He stood up, his face as gloomy as water, his eyes flashing with cold light, wisps of murderous intent steaming, and said coldly: "Tell me, why do you do this?"
“Well… Brother Wu, don’t be impulsive. You know I had no choice.” Han Tian retreated hastily and explained, “You have been asleep for a month. Now we are at the Zhenling Monument. Huo Shi and others are down there. Hurry up and suppress your murderous intent, otherwise you will be discovered.”
"One month...it's already been one month!" Wu Tian's body swayed, he lowered his head and murmured, then suddenly raised his head, his eyes were blazing and aggressive: "What about Xiao Yi? Have you found her?"
"I found it. As you guessed, it was Zhao Qing who sent people to do it. But in order not to alert the enemy, I did not tell Xiaotian and Shishi. However, I have already found out the whereabouts of Feitian Fox. As soon as things here are over, I will personally accompany you there." Han Tian promised and briefly repeated the information that the sect had investigated.
"If it's really her, then Zhao Kuang and others must know it." Wutan's face was cold. Zhao Qing was just a proud and unreasonable young lady. Without the permission of Zhao He and others, she would never dare to take Xiaoyi away.
"The city of hell? Even if you go to the ends of the earth, I will not let you go."
He looked around and suddenly understood. It seemed that the plan of the Zhao family and the Huoyun Sect had already begun. He was not an unreasonable person. Now that things had come to this, there was no point in pursuing the issue any further. He should solve the current problem first.
Wu Tian stared at Xiao Tian, who was pretending to be dead. Needless to say, it must be Han Tian's accomplice. He kicked it, and the little guy screamed, flew out, and smashed into the stone wall, with dust flying everywhere. It climbed up in a mess, with its little paws on its waist, glaring at each other, and crying, what does that mean? If you don't explain clearly, I will turn against you.
Wu Tian ignored her, leaned down, and gently stroked the little girl's cheek, his eyes full of doting. The little girl was sleeping soundly, with a trace of saliva flowing from the corner of her mouth. He did not immediately give her the antidote, but picked up her little body, walked deep into the cave, and placed her in a corner.
There would be a big battle coming up and he might not have time to take care of it.
"How to deal with these people?" Wutan asked.
Han Tian pouted and said, "What else can we do? Even if they all wake up, they'll just be a burden. We can only let them sleep first!"
"When will your sect's people arrive?"
"I was notified half a month ago, so they should have arrived. Maybe they are hiding somewhere." Han Tian was a little worried, so he took out the Wanxiang Order and sent a message to confirm.
"I'll get a reply soon. Let's go see the situation outside first." Han Tian said and walked towards the cave entrance.
Wutan frowned, pondered for a moment, and followed.
The two men lay at the entrance of the cave and looked out.
On the bluestone beside the Zhenling Monument, Huo Shi, Liu Yan, Elder Wu, and Zhao He and his son sat on the ground, whispering to each other, as if discussing something. Behind them stood a man in black, all of them standing straight, expressionless, revealing an evil aura.
Han Tian whispered: "It seems that they are discussing when to open the gate."
"It doesn't matter if it opens early or late, right?"
"Brother Wu, you don't know." Han Tian explained: "The opening of the boundary gate is limited. It can only last for half an hour. When the time is up, it will automatically disappear. According to my estimation, they will open the boundary gate immediately. After all, the people here have extraordinary qualifications. They are more than one or two levels stronger than those who are being assessed in Tieshi Town. They will definitely send them away first and wait for the next batch to arrive before reopening the boundary gate."
As Han Tian said, Elder Wu stood up and passed his hand across the mustard seed bag. A golden light flashed, and a palm-sized golden door appeared, emitting a mysterious aura.
"Rise!" Elder Wu shouted softly, pointing at the void. The air in front of him was in turmoil, and the space was distorted, spreading out like waves. Then, he waved his hand, and a small golden door shot out and merged into the center of the distorted space. This place was shining with golden light, and mist was steaming!
The golden door was hazy and unclear, as if it was fixed and motionless.
"rise!"
Elder Wu shouted again, and his essence surged and rushed towards the small golden door. With a clang, the small door swelled in the wind and expanded rapidly until it was about three meters long.
"Open!" The small door flashed with golden light, dazzling. A crack appeared in the center and gradually opened, revealing a golden road leading to an unknown place.
"This is the gate to the world, so magical," Wu Tian exclaimed in amazement.
"Buzz..." At this time, the Wanxiang Order in Han Tian's hand vibrated, emitting a hazy luster. He immediately immersed his mind in it. His face suddenly changed and became extremely ugly.
Wu Tian asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
"Brother Wu, I'm afraid we're done for this time."
Han Tian's face was livid, and he said, "Master just sent a message that the Huoyun Sect has dispatched several elders who have reached the Perfect Tuomai Stage to other places. The sect's great cultivators are temporarily unable to escape, so we have to rely on us to hold on here for now."
"What a joke!" Wutan's face changed drastically. How could the two of them plus the little guy possibly deal with the group of people below
