"Perhaps, we can go forward together and look for ethereal beasts in this phantom forest."
Lu Yuan took a deep breath, "Then please!"
"We will never let anyone harm the Void Beast!"
In the black smoke of the Phantom Forest, Lu Yuan and Yunyin walked side by side.
They exchanged knowledge about ethereal beasts and the path to immortality, and were always vigilant. Lu Yuan and Su Liyan moved forward slowly in the black smoke of the Phantom Forest. The scenery around them seemed to be in a psychedelic dream.
The colorful flowers exude an attractive fragrance, and the breeze blows through the leaves, making a faint rustling sound.
The dark and mysterious forest paths continued to extend along with their footsteps.
"This Phantom Forest is so beautiful that it's intoxicating."
Lu Yuan sighed as he stared in fascination at the dense sea of flowers in the distance.
Su Liyan smiled softly, "It is indeed a beautiful scenery."
"The illusion displayed here makes people feel like they are in a dream."
Lu Yuan turned to look at Su Liyan and couldn't help but ask, "What happened between you and Xu Qin?"
"Why is she so cold to you?"
Su Liyan paused slightly and frowned slightly.
"We used to be good friends, but later we separated because of a misunderstanding."
"Now that we meet, she seems to have a dislike for me."
Lu Yuan's heart sank after hearing this, and he nodded thoughtfully.
He has always had a secret affection for Su Liyan, but he has never shown it.
This girl is gentle, kind and powerful, and is one of the most important supporters in his team.
Now that he knew that there seemed to be an entanglement between her and Xu Qin, he felt a little hesitant and confused.
Suddenly, a breeze blew by, and Su Liyan's long hair gently brushed Lu Yuan's cheek.
He couldn't help but stop and look at her tenderly.
"Lu Yuan, do you see over there?"
Su Liyan suddenly pointed forward.
Lu Yuan followed her gaze and saw a lake shining with faint blue light.
Colorful aquatic plants grow beside the lake, swaying gently in the breeze.
"That's Phantom Lake." Su Liyan explained.
"It is said that there are many secrets hidden in this lake."
Lu Yuan was attracted, "Let's go take a look."
He took Su Liyan's hand and the two of them walked towards the lake together.
The water surface of Phantom Lake is like a huge mirror, constantly reflecting their figures.
Their footsteps echoed in the space that seemed both real and illusory.
The water in the lake was crystal clear. Lu Yuan knelt down and gently stretched his hand into the lake.
Immediately, a chill hit his arm.
He raised his head and looked at Su Liyan, and the two exchanged knowing smiles as they looked at each other.
"This lake gives people a special feeling." Lu Yuan couldn't help but sigh.
Su Liyan nodded in agreement, "That's true."
"There are many mysterious powers in the Phantom Forest. It seems to be a bridge between reality and dreams."
Lu Yuan looked at Su Liyan's gentle smile again.
"Perhaps she is as beautiful as you and possesses the fascinating ice magic."
Su Liyan smiled and lowered her eyes.
"Lu Yuan, you are such a smart and kind boy."
"You always bring me strength and support."
She looked into the distance and continued softly: "However, Xu Qinzhi and I had a former friendship, and I don't want to lose her trust."
“We just got to this point and the challenges we need to face are bigger than the feelings.”
Lu Yuan understood what Su Liyan meant, and the hesitation in his heart was replaced by determination.
He held Su Liyan's hand tightly and looked at her affectionately. Jun Tian looked up and saw a woman wearing white clothes and holding a sword practicing alone in front of the temple.
The woman's slender and slender body exuded an air of nobility and elegance. Her long hair fell on her shoulders like a waterfall, and her eyes shone with the determination and sharpness of the sword.
She seems to be integrated with the whole world, showing a heart-stirring feeling.
Jun Tian was stunned. At this moment, he felt a rare power.
He was irresistibly attracted to this woman, especially her charming and mysterious aura that fascinated him.
"This is the Jade Sword Saint!"
Lu Yuan was amazed in his heart.
According to rumors, the Jade Sword Saint is an immortal genius who has emerged in recent years.
Her swordsmanship is superb and almost unrivaled.
And her identity and origin are full of many mysterious feelings.
Juntian secretly regarded the Jade Sword Saint as someone who might be a transcendent saint, and he was full of curiosity and expectation about this.
Juntian was attracted by the aura of the Jade Sword Saint and felt an unusual power flowing through this woman. Lu Yuan held the token in his hand tightly. The word "Xiaguang" was engraved on it, which made him feel excited and expectant.
He looked carefully at the surrounding assessment site. This place was deep in the wild mountains, filled with mist, like a fairyland.
He discovered that he was not the only one with a token, there were many other monks participating in the assessment.
Lu Yuan, with sharp eyes, immediately identified some of the top experts, such as Xu Chun'er and so on.
These people all represent the elite disciples of their respective sects, and each of them shows their desire for victory.
The situation gradually heated up and the atmosphere became tense.
Lu Yuan silently observed the exchanges and disputes among the people around him.
Some people debated whether the assessment rules were fair, while others fought over the spells.
This scene is like a powder keg that could explode at any moment.
However, while everyone was arguing, a black-armored warrior suddenly appeared.
The hideous bloodstains all over his body gave people the feeling of having experienced a fierce battle, as if he had just stepped out of the line of death.
"You losers, still dare to compete for the Xiaguang Token?"
"You guys also want to enter the Xiaguang Cave?"
The black-armored warrior glanced at everyone with cold eyes, and a disdainful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Lu Yuan frowned slightly. He could feel the evil aura emanating from the black-armored warrior.
This person is obviously not someone to be trifled with.
"I advise you to shut up!"
"Don't think that just because you are a disciple of the Black-armored Sky Sword Sect, you can do whatever you want!"
Xu Chun'er couldn't stand it, so she stood up and stood in front of the black-armored warrior.
The black-armored warrior sneered, "Humph, even if you join forces, you are still no match for me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed toward Xu Chun'er like lightning.
Seeing this, Lu Yuan immediately drew out his Tiangang Thunder Fire Sword and struck the black-armored warrior like lightning.
At the same time, Su Liyan swung the ice crystal whip in her hand, sending cold light flying everywhere.
King Qi holds the magic-breaking golden wheel, ready to break the evil spells around him in one fell swoop.
Swords clashed and spells flew. (End of chapter)
