"The Strongest Martial Emperor in the City"!
Yang Qi glanced at the seven practitioners beside him and thought to himself, "There are already eight of them. Isn't that enough to start this round of trials?"
At this moment, there are already eight practitioners who have come to this open space, but even so, the test has not yet begun. It is obvious that there are not enough people!
Among the eight practitioners here, except Yang Qi, the others are all at the peak level of six-star Martial Emperor. Except for Zheng Shuo and the other four at the beginning, the other three practitioners have also secretly joined forces. However, neither team invited Yang Qi.
Obviously, the practitioners on both sides looked down on Yang Qi, a six-star late-stage Martial Emperor practitioner, and therefore were unwilling to invite Yang Qi to join the team.
Yang Qi didn't care too much about this. In this space, there might not be any cultivators who could threaten him. Whether he joined forces with other cultivators or not didn't matter to him. Zheng Shuo and others didn't plan to invite him to join the team, and Yang Qi wouldn't take the initiative to ask to join either team. He had enough confidence in his own strength.
Buzz~
While everyone was waiting, a familiar wave was heard. The practitioners present were all familiar with this wave. Apparently, another practitioner had arrived. Sure enough, a figure appeared in the open space not far away.
Wow~
At the moment when the ninth practitioner appeared in the open space, there was an unusual movement all around the entire space. The faces of Yang Qi and the other eight people who had gathered together suddenly changed.
Noticing the unusual movement in this space, everyone's faces suddenly showed a hint of joy, "This round of tests has finally begun."
Of the eight practitioners present, the first one to arrive had been waiting for several months, and even the last one to arrive had been waiting for several days. Now that this round of tests has finally begun, they don't have to wait any longer.
"Um?"
The cultivator who arrived noticed the unusual movement in this space. Yang Qi and the other eight people who were waiting there were obviously stunned for a moment, and it was obvious that they were not clear about the current situation.
However, at this moment, Yang Qi and the other eight had no time to explain to each other, and everyone's attention was on the abnormal movement of this space. After all, they had waited for such a long time before this round of tests began. For the next test and the possible opportunities in Jiuyou Mansion, everyone was full of expectations.
Wow~
The movement in this space only lasted for a moment, and then nine passages appeared around the space. It was obvious that the test they needed to face was in those passages.
this…
Looking at the nine passages that appeared, the expressions of Zheng Shuo and the other seven people could not help but change slightly. This round of test started only after nine practitioners arrived, and there happened to be nine passages. They were not stupid enough to think that each passage could allow more than one practitioner to enter.
"It seems that we can't work together to pass this test." A man in fancy clothes sighed. He originally planned to invite the last practitioner to join the team, but now, they would most likely separate. Only one practitioner could enter each passage, so there was no point in working together anymore.
It should be noted that although the Jiuyou Palace is recognized as the most precious of the nine relics left by the Jiuyou Saint Lord, it is also recognized as the most difficult. Even though the nine practitioners present successfully arrived at the Jiuyou Palace, how many people can pass this first test is an unknown.
Even if the practitioners who have passed this test can gather together again, the companions who originally joined forces may not be able to pass this test and will not be able to meet up next time. What is the point of joining forces
Zheng Shuo looked at the nine passages in front of him, his expression condensed, and he slowly said, "I can't sense the situation in the nine passages at all. I have no idea where to start if I want to judge the situation in the passages. It doesn't make much difference which passage I choose."
After these words were spoken, Yang Qi and the others could not help but nodded. The moment the passage appeared, they tried their best to sense the situation inside the passage, but they were unable to sense the situation inside the passage at all.
The man in fancy clothes looked at him intently, and said in a deep voice, "That being said, it is better to send a cultivator to the passage to try and see what the nine passages are like."
Although they had some guesses about the situation of the nine channels, in order to confirm their guesses, they still needed to send practitioners to try it out first.
Swish~Swish~
As the man in fancy clothes finished speaking, everyone's eyes immediately fell on Yang Qi. Among the nine practitioners present, only Yang Qi was at the late stage of the six-star martial emperor realm. Moreover, neither Zheng Shuo and his four companions nor the three men in fancy clothes had any intention of inviting Yang Qi to join the team for the time being. In this way, Yang Qi was naturally the most suitable practitioner to explore the way.
As for the last cultivator, the man in fancy clothes temporarily gave up the idea of inviting him to join the team, but that was because he had some guesses about the nine passages in front of him. If their guesses were wrong, then the last cultivator was obviously a more suitable candidate to be invited to join the team than Yang Qi.
Therefore, Yang Qi has to be the one to explore the way. Not only the three men in gorgeous clothes, but also Zheng Shuo and his four companions have the same idea.
Feeling the gazes of Zheng Shuo and the other seven, Yang Qi couldn't help but frown. He did not join the team, and did not mind being the first to enter the passage. But now Zheng Shuo and the others clearly wanted to force him to be the first to explore the way.
Voluntarily exploring the way and being forced to explore the way are two different things. If you don't have the strength, then forget it and just bear it. But Yang Qi has the strength to not be afraid of Zheng Shuo and others. At this moment, he was forced to explore the way, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
Looking at Zheng Shuo beside him, Yang Qi slowly said, "I am new to this space. Thanks to you, Daoist Fellow Zheng Shuo, for helping me solve my doubts. This time I will go explore the way first. I hope I can be of some help to you, Daoist Fellow Zheng Shuo."
When Yang Qi first came to this space, Zheng Shuo and three others took the initiative to help him solve his doubts and informed him of some of the circumstances of this space. Although it was just some simple information, it was still a favor. Now Yang Qi returned this favor to Zheng Shuo and the others, and from now on, they owed each other nothing.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Shuo naturally understood the meaning of Yang Qi's words, but he did not pay too much attention to what Yang Qi said. The favor of a six-star late-stage Martial Emperor practitioner was far less real than his own interests.
Zheng Shuo's approach seemed realistic, but the practitioners present were originally from nearby star fields and they did not have much friendship with each other. Moreover, Zheng Shuo and his four companions arrived in this space first and joined forces first, so their friendship was naturally deeper than Yang Qi's.
"Then I'll have to trouble Brother Daoist Xuxing." Zheng Shuo bowed slightly.
Although they didn't care about Yang Qi's words, there was no need to tear each other's faces, right? Unfortunately, Zheng Shuo didn't know that even if they joined forces, they were no match for Yang Qi. Yang Qi's favor might have saved their lives at a critical moment, but now it was wasted by them.
