"Senior Sister Su!" Mu Jingyu roared, and the two swords followed him like a shadow, fighting back the ox-crying beast in front of him. In addition, he summoned a fairy sword and flew down with a roar, trying to save Su Yingying and Yu Yuanxiu.
Little did they know that the two ox-crying beasts had already turned around, spitting out two bursts of fire from their mouths, burning the fairy sword that was speeding towards them until not even the dregs were left.
In their view, the jade platform was hanging high in the cave, and there was more than a hundred feet of abyss below. If they were allowed to fall down, they would definitely be dead or injured.
It was Qin Yunchuan who remained calm in the face of danger and shouted loudly: "Junior sister Su and brother Yu, quickly summon the weapons and use the sword flying technique!"
How could the two people who were falling so fast not think of this? As early as the moment they fell, they were calling their respective weapons. However, Zang Wanjuan was already one step ahead of the two of them, controlling the two ox-crying beasts and holding down the Purple Jade Tianxuan and the Sakura Silk Bishui Sword. No matter how they summoned them, they remained motionless and unresponsive.
"Save people!" Qin Yunchuan ignored his weak body and forced out his little energy, wanting to fly down to see the situation.
Little did he know that just after getting out of the entanglement of the Ox-Crying Beast, something happened again on Zhou Yan's side.
It turned out that after the two cattle-crying beasts roared, they actually merged into one. The Crying Ox Beast, which was several times larger, took heavy steps and pounced towards Zhou Yan, who had the lowest cultivation level among the remaining four people.
How could Zhou Yan, who was struggling to support himself, have the energy to fight back when faced with two bull-crying beasts, one large and one small? Within three or five rounds, he followed in the footsteps of Su Yingying and Yu Yuanxiu and was pushed to the edge of the jade platform.
"Yan'er!" Qin Yunchuan roared, and after being hit hard by the Ox Crying Beast, he used the force to fly towards Zhou Yan, trying to pull her over.
"Brother Qin, don't come here!" Zhou Yan, who was on the edge, could clearly see that the largest ox-crying beast was waiting for Qin Yunchuan to come over with its true energy condensed in its horns.
Qin Yunchuan, who cares about Zhou Yan, even if he knew the danger, how could he back down? As soon as he held Zhou Yan with one hand, his back was hit by the fire light condensed by the cry beast. After a muffled groan, he both fell down holding Zhou Yan.
Shen Mengdie, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said calmly: "Brother Mu, you must defeat the Crying Ox Beast and pass the four levels set by Senior Zang! We... just leave it alone!"
Mu Jingyu felt bad when he heard this. Watching Shen Mengdie helplessly, he threw out the jade ring with one hand and put it on Zhou Yan's waist, while holding the other jade ring tightly with the other hand. The two jade rings were connected by a trace of her true energy.
In just a few breaths, the situation on the field changed dramatically. Among the six people, only Mu Jingyu was able to ensure that he was safe with the support of the Jiuyaoxuan Light Chain.
In addition to Su Yingying and Yu Yuanxiu, who had long since fallen, the situation of Qin Yunchuan and the others was not optimistic either. Even if Shen Mengdie traps Qin Yunchuan with the Ambilight Ring, how long can she hold on? What's more, without five people to restrain the beast, the Crying Ox beast had already taken the opportunity to merge into one.
Sure enough, as soon as Shen Mengdie put the jade ring on Qin Yunchuan, the cow-crying beast, which had already returned to 70 to 80% of its size, kicked and kicked Shen Mengdie's chest.
In an instant, Shen Mengdie was like a kite with its string broken, holding on to the Ambilight Ring with one hand, and followed Qin Yunchuan and Zhou Yan, falling to the bottom of the abyss.
Shen Mengdie's face was calm, and at the moment when her face was about to disappear, she said softly: "Brother Mu, remember, don't worry about us. Use all your strength to kill the ox-crying beast and pass the first level! In the next three levels, we will I can’t accompany you for the time being!”
"No!" Mu Jingyu yelled, not hearing the meaning of Shen Mengdie's words at all.
Watching the five people falling into the abyss in front of him, he had long forgotten the purpose of this trip. Asking for books and medicine, or getting through four levels in a row, in his eyes at this moment, they were not as important as the lives of five people.
As for Bi Yun's poisonous injury, he didn't believe it. Apart from Zangwanjuan, there was no other place where he could find the whereabouts of Tianxiangmu and Abyss Colorful Pearl!
In a sad mood, Mu Jingyu couldn't care about anything else. Slowly push your left hand flat to your chest, and chant word by word: "Bro...tian...yi..."
As the three words were exhaled, the innate spiritual energy surged out from the Jiuyaoxuan light chain and gathered at the left wrist. Lilong, who had been silent all this time, became panicked at this moment and kept calling Mu Jingyu with his spiritual consciousness, trying to wake him up from his anger.
"Sword!" The last word was spat out softly, and Mu Jingyu's figure hung upside down above the jade platform, and a full-strength blow that had been prepared for a long time suddenly fell down.
The dazzling light rippled out instantly. Even Zang Wanjuan, who was in the tower, was not only slightly surprised. He murmured to himself: "What a good boy! You are indeed a disciple of the Jiuxian. You can cast a sky-shattering sword at such a young age!"
As his palms flew at high speed, the jade platform disappeared without a trace. And the ox-crying beast that merged into one turned into a stream of light, rising straight into the sky. A soft light shone out, just in time to hold back Mu Jingyu's sky-shattering sword, preventing it from blasting the bluestone courtyard below into rubble.
The night is gone and the day is coming!
When the light dissipated, Mu Jingyu was surprised to find that underneath him was still the bluestone courtyard, and more than a dozen strong men appeared at an unknown time, controlling the five Qin Yunchuan people in groups of two.
"What...is this happening?" Mu Jingyu was confused, and the innate spiritual energy blocked by the Ox-Crying Beast instantly returned to Mu Jingyu's body.
Lilong hid in the Jiuyaoxuan Light Chain, smiled bitterly and said: "Silly boy, even your sworn sister can see that under the jade platform is not an abyss, but a suspicion formation deliberately set up by Zang Wanjuan. You boy are so stupid. Yes, he was the first to see that the Crying Ox Beast was controlled by him with his spiritual thread, why didn’t he figure it out?”
"The suspicion array? Is this the truth of the trial?" Mu Jingyu murmured to himself, unable to believe Lilong's words.
But looking at the five people below, who were shaking their heads helplessly, how could they be fake?
"But...but...but Brother Qin and the others have all fallen into the abyss. If I remain indifferent and only think about completing the trial, am I still a human being..."
Looking at the dejected Mu Jingyu, more than a dozen strong men let go of their hands. Qin Yunchuan came over and comforted him: "Okay, Jingyu, big brother can understand your mood. Since we haven't passed the four levels set by Senior Zang, let's find another way to find another place to find out the whereabouts of the medicinal materials."
Su Yingying lowered her head and almost shed tears: "Jingyu, it's all my fault! It's all my fault! If it weren't for your low cultivation level and you fell off the jade platform first, you wouldn't be so tired that you would fall short... "
"What did Senior Sister Su say?" Mu Jingyu stretched out his hand to comfort Su Yingying. Looking at Yu Yuanxiu's loving eyes from the corner of his eyes, he took his hand back and said, "You are not to blame for this matter. It was all caused by Jingyu's failure to investigate for a moment. The result of failing the trial."
"Don't blame yourself!" Qin Yunchuan took two steps forward, raised his hands to Zang Wanjuan in the tower and said: "Senior Zang, since we haven't even passed the first level you always set, naturally I don’t dare to stay here shamelessly, I hope you can give me some books to read. Let’s go down the mountain immediately and look for the whereabouts of the medicinal materials!”
Qin Yunchuan said this without saying a word, and the other five people put away their disappointed mood and followed behind them, preparing to go down the mountain to find another way.
"Boys, you think of giving up so easily! This is not the spirit that young people should have!"
After Zang Wanjuan finished speaking, the wooden door of the tall tower that had been closed opened with a sound.
"Besides, you didn't ask me, how do you know that you failed the test?"
"Could it be that... we passed?" Mu Jingyu's mood changed from depression to excitement, and a glimmer of hope rekindled.
Shen Mengdie said: "But...but...but we didn't defeat the Crying Ox Beast in the first level, and even fell off the jade platform. I wonder what conditions Senior Zang used to judge that we passed?"
Everyone was confused by Zang Wanjuan just like Shen Mengdie. Furthermore, even if the first level set by Zangwanjuan is not to defeat the Ox-Crying Beast, there are still three levels to follow. No matter how I calculated it, I couldn’t figure out how to pass the test.
Zang Wanjuan laughed and said, "I said before that the four levels are divided into courage, conspiracy, love, and righteousness. They are said to be four levels, but they are actually the same level!"
Seeing the puzzled looks on the six people's faces, Zang Wanjuan continued to explain: "The Crying Ox Beast is originally at the peak of Guiyuan. If I let the six of you work together to defeat it, it would really be difficult for you!"
Su Yingying's eyes lit up and she said: "So, the four words of courage, strategy, love, and righteousness you always mentioned do not represent the four levels! It depends on whether the six of us have the courage and strategy to defeat the Crying Ox Beast. "
After Su Yingying's reminder, Zhou Yan also figured out the purpose of hiding Wanjuan: "As for the two words "love" and "righteousness" behind it, it depends on whether we can give up victory or even life and death for each other! Only by putting the lives of our companions first Only one person can be considered as successfully passing the trial?"
"Um……"
Hearing Zang Wanjuan's voice of approval, everyone secretly exclaimed that they were lucky. If not for Yu Yuanxiu, Qin Yunchuan and Shen Mengdie, they would have rescued Su Yingying and Zhou Yan. If Mu Jingyu hadn't been so angry at the end that he wanted to avenge the five people who didn't know whether they were alive or dead regardless of whether they could pass the test, I'm afraid that even if he finally defeated the Crying Ox Beast, he wouldn't be able to pass the training set by Zang Wanjuan.
Mu Jingyu said: "Senior Zang, then this time we..."
Zang Wanjuan laughed and said, "Of course you will pass."
When everyone heard this, they were all happy. Unexpectedly, he accidentally passed the test set by Zang Wanjuan.
The dozen or so strong men had already lined up on both sides, all extending their arms to welcome them into the tower.
Mu Jingyu, who was in a good mood, walked to the front first and walked into the tower, followed by the others.
After everyone entered the tower, the tower door closed. The surrounding scenery changes, where is the shadow of the tower? A space completely different from the scene outside appeared in front of everyone.
As far as the eye can see, there is a quiet valley, and in front of it is a quiet path, which is connected to a tall tower with the same appearance. The only difference from the tall tower outside is that there are six tall towers suspended above, with different brilliance.
These six suspended towers are constantly rotating in the wind, seemingly fast and sometimes slowly. Whenever everyone looked at it intently, they would spin very fast and almost merge into one. If you look at it with a relaxed mind, it will turn very slowly. There are Tao, Dharma, Instrument, Qi, Ancient, and Place on it, and six big golden characters flicker in and out.
Above the six towers, there is another golden tower, corresponding to the bottom tower.
Everyone had never seen such a magical building before, and they all stopped to look at it, forgetting to take steps for a moment.
Zang Wanjuan's voice rang out at the right time: "Boys, what are you doing standing around stupidly? Is it possible that you want me, an old guy, to go out and greet you personally?"
The six people who came back to their senses kept saying they didn't dare, and walked along the quiet path into the lowest tower.
As soon as I stepped in, I saw an old man wearing a square scarf and a blue scholar's shirt. He was stroking the feather fan with one hand and looking at everyone with a straight face.
Even though Zang Wanjuan was dressed like an old scholar, he actually had a sharp mouth and thin eyebrows, looking like a somewhat wretched old man. At first glance, he couldn't be associated with an elegant scholar.
Zhou Yan couldn't help but chuckle. If Su Yingying hadn't pinched her in time, she would have chuckled.
