Although the valley was full of people, they did not socialize much. They gathered in twos and threes, occupying a space and whispering to the people of their respective sects.
After all, the purpose of this trial was to collect spiritual jades, so there was no need to be too polite. When the time came, someone might stab them in the back. Even if they were familiar with each other, there was no need.
On the third day, when the valley was almost full, a young man finally walked out of the fog on the other side of the fork in the road. Those with sharp eyes rushed forward and surrounded the young man. Those who were a step too late could only resentfully wait on the periphery.
Xiao Chen and the rest continued to lazily stay where they were without moving. After all, the valley was only so big. As long as that young man spoke in a normal voice, everyone would be able to hear him. There was no need for them to sharpen their heads and drill their way in.
The young man stood on a stone and glanced at the crowd condescendingly. With an arrogant expression, he shouted loudly, "Line up, line up! What kind of mess is this? If you want to go in, obediently follow the order! Why do you have no manners at all? "
The people around did not dare to be negligent and quickly began to line up. There were many pushing and shoving and threatening to cut the line. However, after all, everyone was considered a member of the Outer Wulin, so they did not fight too much. They still lined up in a very short time. Naturally, Xiao Chen and the others stood at the back.
The young man looked around and curled the corner of his mouth. He took out a form from his bosom and began to record the names of the people participating in the trial one by one. As he wrote down, he kept shouting.
"You should all know the rules! If anyone dares to fight privately before the trial starts, they will be directly disqualified! I'll remember those few just now! All of you pay attention! When you go to the Inner Wulin, all of you better behave. Don't look at what you shouldn't see, and don't gossip about what you shouldn't say. Otherwise, apart from being disqualified and driven out, the sect you belong to will be severely punished. I think you don't want to shame your sect, right? "
Everyone was still counting on this young man to lead the way for them, so they all agreed obediently. No one dared to oppose him. If they offended him, wouldn't it be too shameful to be driven back without even being able to enter the inner martial arts world?
After he finished registering the silent Xiao Chen's group, the young man stuffed the form into his bosom and jumped down from the rock. He said very arrogantly, "Alright, stop dawdling, follow me!" After he finished speaking, he walked towards one of the forked roads.
"Who is this person? Do you know him? He looks quite arrogant! "Xiao Chen glanced at the young man and deliberately lagged behind as he asked Jia Musen.
"I know him, but he's not from our family. He's a third-generation descendant of the Tang family's patriarch. His name is Tang Qianqi." Jia Musen also lowered his voice and said disdainfully, "He's just an errand boy. Don't be fooled by his arrogance. He's actually a bastard. His status isn't much higher than mine!"
Jia Musen never had a good impression of this kind of person, so his evaluation was merciless.
"Oh? But he's responsible for registering and guiding people into the Inner Martial World. It can be considered a heavy responsibility, right? It seems that this guy is quite popular in the Tang family. Otherwise, they wouldn't have let him come. "Xiao Chen nodded.
He didn't care much about Tang Qianqi's arrogant attitude. He was just a follower, nothing more. Arguing with him would only lower his status. However, he still felt strange in his heart. He didn't know why the Tang family would send such a fool to lead the way for everyone.
"Tsk, isn't it because he relied on Tang Qianling, the heir of the Tang family? He hugged someone's thigh and became their lackey. He felt that he had a backer, so he's very proud and looks down on us. " Jia Musen shrugged and said with a look of disdain, "Jia Huoyan also asked me to follow him, but I couldn't be bothered with him. I don't have any dignity!"
"Tsk tsk, you can't say that. If you really followed Jia Huoyan, maybe the one leading the way here today would be you. Hahaha!" Xiao Chen couldn't help but make fun of him.
"Hey! Those guys behind you, are you not taking my words seriously or what? I told you not to gossip, but you're still talking nonsense. Behave yourselves! Do you believe that I'll chase you all away if you keep making noise? " Tang Qianqi, who was leading the way, pricked his ears and heard Xiao Chen's laughter. He immediately turned around and pointed his finger at Tang Qianqi and scolded him.
Xiao Chen rolled his eyes at the sky. He was speechless. His voice wasn't that loud either! Tang Qianqi could actually hear him. It seemed that this kid's cultivation was not low! Could it be that he had a pair of clairvoyant ears?
Jia Musen patted Xiao Chen's shoulder and smiled helplessly at him. The two of them stopped chatting and continued to follow the group forward.
Everyone followed Tang Qianqi. They walked here and there in the fog. After walking for about half an hour, Tang Qianqi suddenly stopped.
There were two towering trees not far away. Between the two trees, there was a strange green light that was constantly surging out. It was obviously different from the surrounding environment.
Xiao Chen quietly released his Divine Sense. He saw a huge Teleportation Formation on the ground in front of him. The green light was emitted by the formation.
Seeing this formation, Xiao Chen was a little surprised. Although he had seen a Teleportation Formation before, it was the first time he had seen such a big one.
"Okay, we're here!" Tang Qianqi turned around and put down the bag that he had been carrying on his back from the beginning. He said, "Now, I'll start giving out the Trial Taker's tokens! This token will be your only identification in the inner martial arts world. If you want to enter and exit the inner martial arts world, you must use the token! If anyone loses it, come to me for a replacement. The handling fee is 100 million! "
With a clattering sound, Tang Qianqi took out a pile of ebony tokens from his backpack. These tokens all had a faint cyan glow similar to the color of the magic circle. Other than that, there was nothing special about them.
"100 million! Isn't this too expensive? Is this a robbery? "
"That's right. Such a broken piece of wood. You actually have to spend money to buy it. What a scam!"
This number was too shocking. Many people couldn't help but start to complain. Although everyone felt that they were cautious and wouldn't easily lose the token, what if they accidentally broke it or someone stole it? Wouldn't they have wasted 100 million?
"All of you, shut up!" Hearing the noise of the crowd, Tang Qianqi frowned and said in a lukewarm tone, "If anyone doesn't want to participate, you can leave now! But I'll say the ugly words first. I don't have time to send out timid people like you! If you think you're capable, you can try and see if you can walk out of this forest! "
