Why?
The two met by chance.
Li Shuidao rescued people righteously, but he couldn't save her brother. Is it possible that he wants to help her take revenge now?
Qiu Lanying's eyes were full of unwillingness. She looked at Li Shuidao with mixed feelings in her heart.
"Please... please accept me as your disciple, senior." She bowed. Covered in mud, but extremely determined.
Li Shuidao did not answer immediately, but turned to look around, and then asked: "Which cultivating family are you from? Whose name is it? Why did you end up like this?"
"I am a concubine of the Qiu family. My name is Qiu Lanying. Our parents died early, and my brother and I depended on each other. We participated in this trial to seek a future and become an immortal cultivator..."
"We participated in the trial to ascend to immortality. My brother and I fell into a swamp at the beginning of the trial. We originally thought we could survive by exiting the trial, but we didn't expect that the supervisor would abandon us here regardless of our life or death. He even stepped on my brother into the swamp, leaving him with no chance of survival." Qiu Lanying choked and recounted everything.
After hearing this, Li Shuidao thought for a long time and said, "I can help you, but it is by no means unconditional."
A glimmer of hope flashed in Qiu Lanying's eyes, and she quickly said: "What do you want me to do?"
"I want you to spy on intelligence and be absolutely loyal to me, can you do it?" Li Shuidao asked coldly.
"I can do it!" Qiu Lanying said excitedly: "What does senior want me to do?"
"Now, all you have to do is pass the trial." Li Shuidao smiled faintly, "Become a monk, otherwise you can't help me at all."
Qiu Lanying nodded. She picked up the dagger on the ground, took a deep look at her brother, and turned around to walk towards the trial.
After passing through the dangerous swamp, Qiu Lanying came to Snake Valley, a creepy place.
Snaking venomous snakes circle the valley, and any mistake could trigger their attack. Qiu Lanying carefully shuttled among the snakes, her heartbeat and footsteps echoing in the silent valley. Her nerves were tense, and every movement was full of vigilance and caution.
On the way, she also saw seven or eight corpses, all of which were only twelve years old like her. Venomous snakes were crawling on their dead bodies...
Then Qiu Lanying came to a cliff. Under the cliff were five corpses, all of which were thrown to death.
Qiu Lanying stuck the dagger in her waist. She took a deep breath and climbed up the steep mountain with the help of rattan. The mountain peaks were covered with rocks and thorns, and every step required her full strength.
Her hands were so painful from the canes, and her feet slipped on the rocks countless times, but she did not give up. Every attempt was made with determination and tenacity.
When she finally stood on the top of the mountain, her face was filled with a smile of victory. She waved the dagger in her hand and shouted loudly: "I succeeded! I passed the trial!"
"No, you failed." A voice came, and a monk floated down in front of her, it was Li Shuidao.
Qiu Lanying was stunned for a moment and couldn't believe her ears, "What? I failed? But, I clearly passed the swamp, broke through the Snake Valley, and climbed the mountain!"
Li Shuidao looked at her with a trace of regret in his eyes: "The trial has ended long ago and they have left."
Qiu Lanying instantly felt like a bolt from the blue.
"What should we do?" Qiu Lanying knelt on her knees, her face full of disbelief.
Li Shuidao shrugged: "Aside from trials, how else can you become an immortal cultivator?"
Qiu Lanying shook her head and said: "Only direct descendants can enter the sect directly. I am a concubine and there is no other way to enter."
"Then there's nothing we can do." Li Shuidao sighed.
"Senior, please accept me as your disciple." Qiu Lanying knelt on her knees and cried loudly.
"I will not accept you as my disciple, don't mention this matter again!" Li Shuidao said with a stern look.
"Since senior refuses to help me, then my life is meaningless, so why not just end it here." Qiu Lanying said emotionally.
"I will never stop you!" Li Shuidao said loudly.
Qiu Lanying showed a stubborn look and actually turned around and jumped towards the cliff behind her.
Li Shuidao didn't take any action from beginning to end, watching her jump off the cliff with an indifferent expression.
With a heavy crash...
Qiu Lanying fell to the ground and died at the bottom of the cliff.
Li Shuidao walked to the edge of the cliff and saw Qiu Lanying's shattered body. He shook his head and sighed: "Oh... stupid."
…
An hour later...
A group of monks dressed in solemn robes collected the bodies of children who unfortunately died in the trials on the road to immortality.
This trial was jointly organized by the three major cultivating families - the Qiu family, the Liu family and the Fan family.
The annual trial is a way for these families to select young people with potential and lead them on the path to immortality.
There are casualties every year. This year, more than 20 monks from the three families died, which is quite a lot.
More than twenty children's corpses were carried away one by one. Li Shuidao frowned and looked at the team with a look of confusion on his face.
"This is wrong." Li Shuidao muttered to himself.
In a trial to ascend to immortality, more than twenty children died. This number was too many. One or two died because of chance, but the death of more than twenty was completely unreasonable. The cruelty of this competition was even worse than that of the Demon Sect. And not as good as.
Especially what Qiu Lanying said was that the elders of the three major families did not save her and her brother, and even stepped on them. This is even more difficult to explain...
Unless the three major families need corpses, and the corpses of these children.
The team soon arrived in front of an ancient temple. Li Shuidao found that there were monks from the Rongling Realm patrolling outside the ancient temple. The manpower was more than ten times more dense than the manpower of the trial supervisor.
This further confirmed Li Shuidao's suspicion.
But there are too many guards now, so wait until night to see if there is a chance to get in.
Li Shuidao hid and waited silently, looking for an opportunity...
Inside the ancient temple
The bodies of more than two dozen children were scrubbed clean.
Qiu Lanyue and Qiu Lanying, who were originally covered in mud, were also wiped clean.
"It's all arranged." A monk walked up to a middle-aged man and whispered.
The middle-aged man nodded: "Okay, open the gate and send all the sacrifices in."
"Yes." The monk agreed, and then opened the heavy iron gate.
The door to the secret room was opened, revealing an eerie secret room. And deep in the secret room, there is an iron gate.
The monks put the washed bodies into the secret room, then exited and closed the iron gate.
The iron gate inside the secret room slowly opened under the action of the mechanism.
A terrifying mass of flesh felt the presence of these corpses, and countless blood-red tentacles began to spread on the corpses, devouring the flesh.
These corpses were quickly devoured, with not even a trace of bones left. Only one body was not devoured.
It was a naked little girl.
The red flesh spread over the little girl's body, but instead of swallowing her up, it penetrated into her body.
The little girl's body began to twist strangely, making clicking sounds...
suddenly.
The little girl opened her eyes with a bang. There were countless small tentacles in her eye sockets. The small tentacles dissipated from the eye sockets, and a pair of black and white pupils appeared.
…
At the same time, a fierce battle broke out outside the iron gate
The masked monk Li Shuidao was discovered by the guarding monks. The two sides did not even ask the most basic questions and directly drew their swords and started fighting.
Li Shuidao, who was as strong as a dragon and held a frozen snow sword, faced the siege of more than a dozen spirit-level monks alone.
The power of his sword was like a tidal wave, like a dragon rising out of the sea. The powerful sword energy instantly forced several Rongling Realm monks back. His exquisite and powerful sword skills made these dozen monks completely unable to parry.
Li Shuidao is tied with Ye Luyuan, the ethereal swordsman, and you can actually see it.
"Formation!" The Rongling Realm monks were obviously in a panic, and one of them shouted hurriedly.
"Seeking death!" Li Shuidao's eyes were cold and he pointed the sword in the distance.
This attack has used the "Taiyin Finger".
A pervasive poisonous finger force was silently integrated into a monk's body.
The monk's face suddenly changed, and he covered his abdomen in pain. Then the blood in his body flowed backwards, and streams of black blood spurted out from his mouth.
"You are... the Five Poison Sect..." The monk's eyes were full of fear, he rolled his eyes and fainted immediately.
Li Shuidao no longer showed any mercy, and every time he swung his sword, he would bring a touch of poisonous Taiyin finger power.
Taiyin's magic power is all-pervasive and can be said to be the best in the world. Coupled with Li Shuidao's own talent for poison, the toad's poison directly acts on the enemy's internal organs, and can kill all enemies easily.
At this moment, Li Shuidao was like Shura coming into the world, full of murderous intent, and he was completely defeated wherever he passed.
When a dozen Rongling realm monks had just taken their positions, they started to vomit together, holding their stomachs. All the vomited out was extremely smelly poisonous blood, which included their internal organs. Then they all rolled their eyes and died. .
Li Shuidao took off the mask on his face, revealing his true appearance.
Everyone has been killed, there is no need to cover up anymore.
Li Shuidao originally wanted to investigate quietly without causing any killing, but he didn't expect to be discovered and had to force his way in.
He originally wanted to use his superb sword skills to force these people back, but he did not expect that they would have to form a sword formation.
Of course Li Shuidao knew how powerful the Yun Mang Sword Formation was, so he could only kill them all with his Taiyin Finger.
Bang!
There was a loud bang from behind the iron gate.
Li Shuidao looked at the iron gate with a solemn face, and felt a wave of heart palpitations.
After the two-layer iron gate...
Qiu Lanying stood up straight. She twisted her body and seemed to be very satisfied with this body.
Then she came to the iron gate and pressed her hands against the iron gate. Many red fleshy touches appeared on her palms, making her arms bigger and thicker. Then fleshy touches grew out of her fingertips and inserted into the iron gate. In the gap, Qiu Lanying then pulled hard, and the iron gate was pushed open by her, followed by the second iron gate...
At this time, there was an iron gate between Li Shuidao and Qiu Lanying...
