Some people accept their fate, and some people try their best.
Just as the purple-robed young man returned home, in a thirty-foot-long hall, there were more than twenty god-transformation monks with different cultivation levels, sitting around a round stone table.
The faces of these god-transformation monks were all very young. At the moment, they were either closing their eyes to rest, or their eyes were wandering, unable to calm down. However, without exception, there was no private discussion, which could be heard in the entire hall.
Finally, a jade door appeared on the bluestone wall. After a young man with a gloomy expression walked into the hall and took a seat, a young man in white robes among the crowd suddenly spoke:
"Everyone who can come is here. Without further ado, let's start the last gathering I've been waiting for before the Dragon Blood Trial."
"Hmph! The direct lineage is really getting worse and worse. No one came this time. They must have resigned themselves to their fate and are ready to donate their own dragon blood!"
The gloomy young man hammered the stone table hard, covering up his fear with anger.
"There is indeed something weird in the direct lineage. This has never happened in the Dragon Blood Trial before. There may be some variables that we don't know about."
A woman with a heroic face touched her chin and said suspiciously.
"What's the difference? I think they are just used to being pampered and have long since lost the domineering power of my ancestors of the Long family who looked down on the world!"
No matter which family you belong to, the conflict between direct lineage and side branches is unavoidable, and some people immediately said it disparagingly.
"Okay, what's the use of complaining here, let's not waste time and discuss how to deal with it quickly!"
A young man from the Long family with a stern face spoke sensibly. .
"Cousin Zhenliang is right, there is no point in complaining. We cannot escape this Dragon Blood Trial. No matter how bad the situation is, we have to face it.
The foreign aid from Tianyuan City will arrive in the near future. Everyone must have received the corresponding news. If we want to work together and change our fate against the will of heaven, we must control our own team of foreign aid.
Otherwise, if they fight together in pursuit of the blood seal, we really have no chance of winning! "
The young man in white robe was able to host the party, so he was naturally quite prestigious among the people. As soon as he said this, the messy hall suddenly became quiet again.
"Brother Guang, we all know how powerful they are, but in terms of strength, they are definitely no match for the three foreign aids that have transformed into gods, and the inducements and benefits cannot match the family rewards. There is really no way to control them."
After a moment, the gloomy young man said with an embarrassed expression.
"I also know that this matter is not easy, so I have prepared control measures for you."
The young man in white robe had been well prepared and deliberately raised the topic. With a wave of his sleeve, more than twenty streams of light flew out and landed in front of each Long family member participating in the party.
The spiritual light dissipated, and there were actually black jade bottles in the stream of light.
Without waiting for anyone to ask questions, the young man in white robe took the initiative to explain:
"Each black jade bottle contains three Huangquan Pills. As long as they are mixed into tea and tricked into taking them by the foreign aid gods, you can control their lives."
"Haha, since Brother Guang is willing to give away so many Huangquan Pills, why not also take out the Biluo Pill?
Otherwise, just relying on false words may be self-defeating! "
After opening the bottle and confirming it, the stern young man Long Zhenliang asked for Biluo Dan without any courtesy.
Huangquan Pill is colorless and odorless after being dissolved in water. It can indeed poison the cultivators of the Transformation of Gods, but without the antidote like Biluo Dan, there is no control.
"Cousin Zhenliang doesn't know that just refining these Huangquan Pills has already exhausted his remaining wealth. He really doesn't have the time and resources to refine Biluo Pill.
Therefore, you will have no choice but to lie and claim that you have the antidote.
Although this is somewhat risky, it is better than having no control at all, so please think carefully about it. "
The young man in white robe said sincerely.
"No need, I don't want to take this risk. It's better to return these three Huangquan Pills to Brother Guang."
Long Zhenliang didn't hesitate at all. With a thought, he sent the black jade bottle to Long Guang.
Just kidding, if he does what Long Guang said, and when the other party suddenly takes out the Biluo Pill during the trial, wouldn't all of his side's deity-forming foreign aid have to switch to others?
You know, the reason why these people got together is because they don't want to lose the blood of the true dragon. Many of them even have the ambition to win the trial, so they can never really join the group to keep warm.
After being decisively rejected by Long Zhenliang, a hint of gloom flashed in the eyes of the young man in white robe, but he said with a smile on his face:
"Since cousin Zhenliang has other means, he will not force himself as a brother.
The same goes for you. If you want to believe in me, Long Guang, just accept the Huangquan Pill. If you don't, forget it. "
As soon as he said this, five more bottles of elixirs flew in front of Long Guang. With a glance, he recognized that the five people were the same as Long Zhenliang, and their branches were strong.
In this regard, Long Guang was not disappointed. After all, the same people who were still hesitating at this time were actually his real target!
Long Zhenliang and the others were not part of his plan.
"Cousin Ruiyun, Brother Wei knows your difficulties. Don't hesitate any longer. Do you think Brother Guang will harm you?"
After seeing no one express their opinion for a long time, Long Guang suddenly called a message to a girl who looked childish and looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old.
He needed someone to take the lead, and the other person was the best one to break through.
"Yes, Brother Guang and I have known each other since childhood, how could he harm me?
But grandpa asked me to wait until he comes back. He must have been making preparations. If I act without permission, I'm afraid it will mess up grandpa's plan! "
Long Ruiyun pursed his lips tightly, feeling confused for a moment.
After thinking for a moment, Long Ruiyun's eyes suddenly condensed, he grabbed the black jade bottle in front of him and said:
"Little sister naturally trusts Brother Guang, so I will accept this medicine."
Long Ruiyun's side branch has very little power, and her grandfather's side may not be able to succeed. Accepting Huang Quan Wan at this time will provide an extra escape route, whether it is necessary or not.
The majority of people in this hall are in Long Ruiyun's situation. They actually have no choice, so they can only fight like a dead horse at the moment.
After someone took the lead, more than ten people accepted Huangquan Pills.
Even if only half of them allow their foreign aid to take this medicine, together they will be a considerable force. If done well, they may not be able to kill Destiny Dragon.
Not long after, the black jade bottles on the stone table disappeared, which meant that everyone had made their own choices.
Afterwards, everyone talked about some clichés, which was nothing more than forming an alliance, first defeating the fateful dragon's side, and then each competing for the top spot in the trial based on their own abilities.
Several hours later, Long Ruiyun passed through the bluestone jade gate, activated the restriction, and teleported outside.
As a result, as soon as she came out, the golden sword message that was originally blocked from entering the hall flew towards her.
After taking off the jade slip and taking a look, Long Ruiyun suddenly beamed with joy and said to himself excitedly:
"Grandpa is back and helped me conquer three reliable foreign aids! This is really great!"
The good news came too suddenly. Long Ruiyun calmed down for a moment before escaping towards his residence.
About a stick of incense later, her escaping light stopped outside a pavilion. Shortly after walking into it, she saw three monks in the middle stage of spiritual transformation sitting quietly in the hall with her grandfather.
"Are these three my helpers? Except for that mediocre young man, they all have good cultivation. I don't know how Grandpa conquered them."
Thinking secretly, Long Ruiyun stopped, cupped his hands towards Long Lie on the main seat and said:
"Grandpa, my granddaughter is back."
"Well, come and meet us. Whether you can save your life this time depends entirely on these three friends."
Long Lie nodded lightly and immediately introduced Long Ruiyun.
"Grandpa, my granddaughter is also a monk in the early stage of becoming a god. How can she need help from others to save her life!"
Long Ruiyun pouted, somewhat dissatisfied.
"Ruiyun, please don't act arrogant. This trial is different from the past. Even the lives of the Long family members are in danger.
Grandpa has told these three little friends to hide with you after the trial begins and hide until the trial is over. "
Long Lie looked at Long Ruiyun with a headache.
"What! Grandpa, this is different from what we promised. You said you would support me in winning the trial!"
Long Ruiyun was very anxious when he heard this and shouted loudly.
"Now and then, before your life was not in danger, grandpa naturally let you do whatever you want, but now you must obey grandpa's arrangements!"
Long Lie's eyes immediately widened and he said as if there was no room for negotiation.
"What nonsense? It turns out that grandpa, you were trying to coax me before!"
Long Ruiyun's face turned pale and he took a step back in shock, but soon showed determination and said:
"I won't listen to you this time!
You want me to hand over the true dragon bloodline obediently, unless I die! "
After saying that, Long Ruiyun fled out of the hall and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this scene, Long Lie, who was extremely majestic on the war boat, couldn't help but sigh. His face wrinkled, as if he had aged a lot.
"It made the three little friends laugh. My granddaughter has been extremely talented since she was a child. She possesses the blood of a twenty-four-jeweled true dragon. She has been practicing in Wanglong City before and has rarely gone out to experience. Her mind is still like that of a girl, and she is a little unreasonable. , I hope you three will take care of me."
"Fellow Taoist Ruiyun is innocent and romantic, and has an excellent nature. Naturally, we won't mind, but words of concern are exaggerated."
Xu Xuechuan now fully understood Long Lie's choice. Letting Long Ruiyun act at will in this dragon blood trial was equivalent to letting her die.
"Senior Long, didn't you tell fellow Taoist Ruiyun about the changes in the trial?
Li thought to herself, if she knew, she should be able to understand your painstaking efforts. "
Li Jun asked suspiciously.
"Not to mention whether Ruiyun can keep the secret, just because of her stubborn temper, even knowing it will not help.
You don’t need to know the secret behind it. Anyway, she is definitely no match for the three of you. When the time comes, even if you use force, you must act according to my instructions! "
Long Lie shook his head and refused to say more, and finally gritted his teeth and said cruelly.
"When I understand, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."
Xu Xuechuan knew very well who was being paid, and was mentally prepared to use force at this moment.
"Well, you should go back to your room and rest. The Dragon Blood Trial will begin in three days. Before that, please don't leave Lieyun Pavilion."
Long Lie explained a little tiredly.
On the other side, Long Ruiyun came to the top of a spiritual peak and looked at the rolling sea of clouds in front of her. She was silent for a long time before taking out a damaged token from her storage bag.
After staring at it for a few seconds, Long Ruiyun suddenly held it tightly, with a look of determination on his young face, and murmured to himself:
"Don't worry, father, I will never let anyone take away my true dragon bloodline!"
As she spoke, a small black jade bottle appeared in her other palm.
...
Three days passed by in a flash, and soon it was the eve of the Dragon Blood Trial.
At this time, Luo Hong and Long Ruiyun came to a hall in the inner city together.
Standing next to them were identical teams. Including themselves, there were a total of 7,749 teams, or 196 people.
For a large-scale trial, this number of people is obviously not too many, but considering that these 196 people are all god-forming monks, it cannot be underestimated.
It is worth mentioning that the layout of this hall is quite special. It is not like an ordinary meeting hall, but more like an auction house. The tables and cases are surrounded by the edges, and a large area is vacant in the center.
"Looking at the appearance of these Void Refining cultivators from various forces, this trial must be for them to watch. Ha, it's really uncomfortable!"
Luo Hong glanced around and whispered dissatisfied.
"The winner of this trial will basically be the future head of the Long family. The Long family chose to go public because they want the young master to establish his authority. Fellow Daoist Luo just pretends that this is not the case."
Li Jun persuaded with a wry smile.
While the other party was talking, Luo Hong had already used his spiritual consciousness to explore the restrictions in the hall and found that there was indeed a magical power like teleportation.
However, this restriction is not so mysterious. It can only send back images, but cannot copy the breath. As long as it is covered up, there is no need to worry about his taking the dragon's blood being exposed.
Obviously, the Long family doesn't want their magical powers to be exposed too much to outsiders.
"The auspicious time has come, and I invite you, ancestor!"
Following a loud singing and shouting, a golden-faced middle-aged man instantly appeared in the air in front of everyone. With a slight breath, everyone in the hall greeted him in unison.
"Welcome to the ancestor of the Long family!"
Is this the magical aura of the monks in the late stage of integration? It's really scary!
As the saying goes, ignorance leads to fearlessness. Luo Hong had not used his trump card before and jumped to a higher level to kill a monk in the early stage of refining the void, which really boosted his self-confidence.
Now that he was stimulated by the magical aura of the ancestor of the Long family, he suddenly felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on him, and he realized a serious problem.
It turned out that his opponent for stealing the true dragon's blood this time was not the god-transformation monks in the trial, but the ancestor of the Long family.
Once his behavior is discovered by this ancestor, he will definitely die.
"No, I need a perfect shield, otherwise any suspicion may be fatal!"
Luo Hong thought solemnly, and gradually glanced at Long Ruiyun.
After the ancestor of the Long family appeared, he said something without any new ideas, and then announced the start of the Dragon Blood Trial. Immediately, the feet of Luo Hong and others lit up with a forbidden light.
When the aura dissipated, Luo Hong found himself in a small space similar to a carriage...
