"Rumble …!"
Suddenly, the sky above the drill grounds turned dark. Rumbling sounds came from above. Everyone looked up and saw a few huge bird-type Spirit Beasts.
When the Spirit Beasts spread their wings, they were a hundred meters long. When the Spirit Beasts flew together, they covered the entire sky.
"These are the Heavenly Saber Pavilion's guardian Spirit Beasts, Heavenly Wind Vultures. They are the tyrants of Rank 6 Flying Spirit Beasts. I did not expect all of them to come out," someone below recognized the Spirit Beasts and exclaimed in astonishment.
The huge Heavenly Wind Vultures created an intense gust of wind as they circled around in the air before landing on the drill grounds.
Yun Kexin called out to the crowd and quickly headed for one of the Heavenly Wind Vultures. Everyone quickly followed.
The huge Heavenly Wind Vulture looked similar to the Red-tailed Eagles of Earth. The feathers on its back were light brown, its abdomen was lighter, and its tail was reddish-brown.
However, there was a pair of sharp claws on both ends of its wings. They were strangely sharp like hooks. When the huge wings spread out, they formed a space of a few hundred meters.
A dark-skinned old man stood on the neck of the Heavenly Wind Vulture. He was the driver of the Heavenly Wind Vulture.
Xiao Chen and the others all walked up. The old man stepped on the Heavenly Wind Vulture's back. The Heavenly Wind Vulture immediately cried out and created an intense gust of wind as it rushed into the sky.
A strong wind blew from both sides. A few core disciples with weak willpower were nearly blown off the vulture; they were startled.
When the Heavenly Saber Pavilion's Second Elder saw the many Heavenly Wind Vultures flying away, he turned to Jiang Chi and said, "First Elder, are you really at ease letting these youths go?"
Jiang Chi said indifferently, "What else? Do you want me to repeat the mistakes of the previous generation? Back then, I tried to persuade him for a long time, but he was unwilling to sacrifice these youths. He wanted to fight personally. What happened in the end?
"Since ancient times, only those who survive are considered geniuses. No matter how talented you are, you are no longer a genius if you die young."
The Third Elder said, "Back then, Tianhe underestimated the strength of those Demons. He was too confident in his own strength. Otherwise, there would not have been such a tragedy."
Jiang Chi continued, "That's right. As long as we get rid of these projections, the subspace that connects to the Tianwu Continent will naturally shatter. Even if the Three Holy Masters do not come, we can deal with it ourselves. I am confident in Lu Chen's strength."
Above the clouds, the Wind Vulture was flying faster and faster. The fierce airflow caused by the vulture forced everyone to use all of their powers to keep themselves from being blown down.
Soon, the Ling Yun Mountain range was left far behind them. Xiao Chen observed for a while and found that there were eleven Wind Eagles in total, ten of them were led by a core disciple.
Lu Chen, Liu Ruyue, and the others were on the last Heavenly Wind Eagle. Using his Spiritual Sense, he counted ten people.
Xiao Chen thought to himself, It looks like these are all the candidates for this mission. A hundred core disciples and ten hidden geniuses like Lu Chen and Liu Ruyue.
After flying for an unknown period of time, the Wind Vulture's speed started to slow down. A desolate land appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
It was a vast flat land with no end in sight. Not a single blade of grass grew on the ground, only rocks of various sizes. There was no sign of life; it was completely lifeless.
The eleven Windy Eagles let out a series of caws, then quickly landed on the ground. Everyone hurriedly jumped down from the top and looked at their surroundings with an uncomfortable feeling in their hearts.
Lu Chen had a faint smile on his face as he gathered everyone. He said, "The seal is in front. Everyone, please check if you are wearing your identity medallion. If you are not, come to me to get a backup identity medallion. Otherwise, you might be accidentally injured by the barrier outside."
Everyone always carried their identity medallions on them. After everyone checked, no one forgot to bring their identity medallion.
"En, very good. In that case, follow me under the leader's lead. Don't run around."
The atmosphere here was very strange. Even without Lu Chen's instructions, no one would run around.
Everyone followed behind Lu Chen and slowly walked forward. Not long later, Lu Chen, who was leading the group, suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight. The people behind him disappeared as well.
Yun Kexin explained, "There is no need to worry. They are all fine after passing the barrier."
After the explanations of their respective leaders, they did not panic and continued walking forward. Unknowingly, everyone felt as though they had passed through a formless barrier. The scene before them suddenly changed.
An ancient well appeared in front of everyone. The people who had disappeared earlier were all here, gathered beside the ancient well.
The height of the ancient well was no more than one meter. However, its diameter was very large, about three meters. The clear water in the well was like a smooth mirror, without any ripples.
Even when the wind blew, there were no ripples on the surface of the water. It looked very strange, as though there was a horrifying monster hidden in the ancient well.
Four old men dressed in black clothes stood around the ancient well. They were like wooden stakes, standing at four different angles. Even further away, there was a group of bladesmen from the Divine Saber Camp. They all stood there expressionlessly.
When Lu Chen saw that everyone was present, he nodded to one of the old men in black clothes. Only then did that old man, who was like a wooden stake, slowly raise his head.
His face was as skinny as a tree trunk, looking very frightening. He said in a hoarse voice, "This well is called Reincarnation. You must be above twenty-four years old. Leave immediately. Otherwise, you will be sent to an unknown space."
Lu Chen said, "Senior, we have already checked the age of these people. The number of people is also correct. Please rest assured."
The old man looked at Lu Chen and revealed a bitter smile on his skinny face. He said, "I recognize your father. They are really timid. They do not even have the guts to make a trip here. I wish you all good luck!"
"I am going to open the seal. Remember, only ten people can enter at a time."
The four old men, who were like wooden stakes, turned around and faced the ancient well. They each took out a jade strip and quickly formed all sorts of hand seals.
This is a sealing formation from the Ancient Era, Xiao Chen thought to himself. Unfortunately, aside from the Three Holy Masters, the specific method of laying formations had already been lost in the Tianwu Continent.
"Zi zi!"
Suddenly, a dazzling light appeared on the calm surface of the water. The calm surface of the water started to churn non-stop. Slowly, a huge whirlpool appeared on the surface of the water.
In the middle of the whirlpool was a boundless black hole. It was unknown where it led to.
When Lu Chen saw the situation, he immediately said anxiously, "Murong Chong, bring your people down first. The rest will follow the rankings on the Wind Cloud List, one at a time."
Murong Chong had a calm expression on his face. He did not hesitate and took the lead to jump into the whirlpool. The ten of them jumped in one after another. There was no movement at all. They were instantly sucked in by the black hole.
As the elites of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion's core disciples, everyone here had a stronger mental state than regular cultivators. When faced with such an unknown situation, they did not hesitate.
Soon, Xiao Chen's group fell. Yun Kexin took the lead and jumped in. Xiao Chen looked at the bottomless, spinning black hole and followed suit.
The instant Xiao Chen was sucked in by the black hole, his body was sliced into countless pieces. However, he did not feel anything; his consciousness was a blur.
After an unknown amount of time, perhaps it was an eternity, perhaps it was just an instant. Xiao Chen felt his body regathering and he landed firmly on the ground.
This was a strange space. The ground was covered in black soil. When they looked up, there was a scarlet moon hanging high in the sky. It was scarlet; it was very strange.
Occasionally, there would be strange black birds the size of crows circling in the air. They gave off 'Ji Ji Ji' sounds, it was very disturbing.
After Xiao Chen landed, Mu Heng, Zhang Lie, and the others slowly appeared. All nine of them were present. They looked around but could not find Yun Kexin.
Zhang Lie looked around and felt it was strange. He said, "Why do I not see Yun Kexin? Why are the other teams gone as well?"
"Stop looking, I'm here." Yun Kexin's figure suddenly appeared behind the group. "I just went out and took a look at the surroundings."
The other female disciple of the ten, Liu Jia, asked worriedly, "Where are the others? Did we get separated from them? Or what's going on? "
Yun Kexin raised her head and looked at the sky. A trace of seriousness appeared on her calm face. She said, "You can ask questions later. Now, prepare to fight."
Xiao Chen's right hand was already on his saber hilt. The strange birds in the sky had a very heavy evil aura. They were circling above everyone's heads and had not left.
Yun Kexin quickly said, "These are Blood Crows, Rank 4 Demonic Beasts. They live by sucking blood. In the Demonic World, they should be of a higher rank. The most important thing is that before they die, they will self-destruct.
"Xiao Chen, I'll leave these Blood Crows to you. Infuse them with electric attacks. This can prevent them from self-destructing before they die. Mu Heng, you are mainly in charge of defense. If Xiao Chen cannot kill them all, just block them. There is no need to kill them. The rest of you, don't act rashly for now. "
"Pu Ci!"
Right after Yun Kexin spoke, the three Blood Crows circling in the sky swooped down. From a distance, they looked like three scarlet arrows falling from the sky.
"Ka ca!"
Xiao Chen did not wait for the Blood Crows to arrive before him. He immediately drew his Lunar Shadow Saber. A snow-white saber light appeared in the dark space.
He chopped down three times. Three strands of pure lightning-attributed saber Qi flashed by.
Scarlet blood splattered everywhere in the air. The three Blood Crows were split in half and fell from the sky.
A black aura flowed out from the wounds. It merged with the electric light that Xiao Chen left behind, giving off a 'zi zi' sound.
Before Xiao Chen could catch his breath, hundreds of Blood Crows flew over from the dark sky. The sound of their wings flapping merged into one, creating a wild wind.
Xiao Chen's expression was calm. The instant the Blood Crows arrived, he shouted, "Flight On Wings, Disordered Dance of a Thousand Years!"
"Pu ci! Pu ci! "
Xiao Chen's figure flashed in the air. Saber lights danced around. Boundless saber Qi danced among the flock of Blood Crows. Every time Xiao Chen changed his position, he would send out twelve strands of saber Qi.
Xiao Chen changed his position a total of eighty-one times, sending out one thousand six hundred and twenty strands of saber Qi. Every strand of saber Qi would chop down a large number of Blood Crows.
When Xiao Chen landed, the ground was littered with the dismembered corpses of the Blood Crows. Due to the pure state of thunder, the electric light lingered on the wounds for a long time.
