"Little Yue 'er, come here," Yuchi Zhenjin waved at Yue' er.
Yue 'er struggled to run to Yuchi Zhenjin's side. All the pressure was gone and she smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Grandpa Yuchi."
"Wow, that's nice to hear," Yuchi Zhenjin said with a smile.
Suddenly, he realized that Yan Li's body was as steady as a rock. Yan Li looked over and nodded at him, as if saying "thank you".
The corners of Yuchi Zhenjin's mouth curled into a strange smile. He naturally knew that Yan Li wasn't thanking him for helping Yue 'er, but for helping Yue' er and lessening Ji Zhiyuan's burden.
From this detail, he could deduce a lot of information.
What was especially rare was that under such circumstances, this person could still thank him calmly. This meant that the pressure was nothing to him.
Yuchi Zhenjin looked at Cao Jun, who was pale and sweating profusely, and sighed, "There's a difference."
…
Yan Li scanned the field, paying special attention to the figures and faces of those who were "at ease".
He realized that there were only three people, including himself, Bai Yuge, and a hunchback old man.
Bai Yuge was needless to say. The hunchback old man stood there expressionlessly with a sullen face, like an old stubborn man who would get rebuffed at any time.
There were also three hunting groups, one of which was led by Ji Zhiyuan and her subordinates. They were also the strongest group.
The other two groups had more members, but they were mixed. The one who was "at ease" should be a headhunter level character. The vicissitudes of life and death, and the vicissitudes of the martial world, could not be faked if one had not experienced it.
He immediately understood in his heart that this time's trial was probably for these people.
After the time it took for a stick of incense to burn, there were only about thirty people left standing.
The air mass slowly dissipated. Ji Polu glanced at the crowd and said, "Those who are still standing, can choose a technique from the Heavenly Fault Pavilion. This is just the deposit."
Everyone was ecstatic, their hard work was not in vain.
"The Tyrant is as generous as the rumors say!" One of them cheered.
Ji Hyun-woon was very satisfied with this result. He walked to the center of the stage and was about to speak when Ji Polu suddenly spoke again.
"Everyone!"
His voice was deep and his expression was solemn.
Ji Polu looked at the crowd and suddenly bowed deeply. He actually bowed deeply to the people below the stage, "Please protect Xuan Yun!"
The square immediately fell silent. To the people below the stage, Ji Polu's status and cultivation were practically god-like existences. But now, he was bowing to mere mortals. Even Yan Li couldn't help but be slightly moved.
In a daze, Ji Hyun-woon stared at the nine-foot tall man in front of him, who was now no taller than his shoulder. After a while, he turned his head away and mumbled in a low voice, "Stupid Father King!" But his eyes turned red.
Everyone felt their blood boiling as they raised their fists and roared, "We're willing to die for the Tyrant!"
…
"It's really not easy to meet the Overlord."
It was already late at night. Ji Zhiyuan spoke calmly.
Ji Polu sized her up and said, "You dare to hide when you're here to see me?"
Ji Zhiyuan slowly took off his mask and said, "I've given you my visitation card."
Ji Polu paused and squinted his eyes, "I have to meet you just because you gave me a visitation card?"
"Rejection is expected." Ji Zhiyuan said.
"Tell me why you're here!" Ji Polu said.
Ji Zhiyuan said, "I want the seed of the Wondrous Vine."
The Wondrous Vine was a spiritual vine. Because of its extraordinary effects, it was also called the Wondrous Vine.
"That's a treasure unique to me. Why should I give it to you?" Ji Polu said, "Do you think a technique can compare to the Wondrous Vine?"
Ji Zhiyuan said, "I wanted to come after the trial but after seeing the fatherly love of the Overlord's fist, I want to give it to the Overlord to buy it."
"How do you want to buy it?" Ji Polu asked.
"As long as the Overlord agrees to give me the Wondrous Vine after the trial, I will do my best to protect the Crown Prince." Ji Zhiyuan said.
"On what basis do you guarantee it?" Ji Polu asked.
Ji Zhiyuan said, "On the basis that Yuchi Zhenjin and Wei Ran are both my subordinates!"
"Hmm?" Ji Polu widened his eyes and sighed, "These two old fellas still love to be mysterious … If I knew it was them, I wouldn't have met them. You're hiding it because you don't want to see me!"
"Fine, deal."
…
East Sky Territory. Eighty miles away from Yinzhou City, there was a medium-sized ferry.
On this day, a horse carriage entered the ferry.
This kind of horse carriage was seen every day. It wasn't strange at all.
Some of the guests in the carriage were noble, some were even more noble, and some were even more noble. Naturally, it wasn't strange.
What was strange was that there were actually two coachmen, and they were two completely different men. One was a refined and elegant man with a folding fan in his hand, while the other was slovenly and unkempt, with a face full of cynicism.
"Teacher, we've arrived at the ferry," the unkempt man said respectfully as he reined in his horse.
This person was naturally Ma Guanshan.
Beside Ma Guanshan was naturally Lianhai Changjin.
Lianhai Changjin's expression had returned to its usual calm. Perhaps because of the breakthrough, he was becoming more and more attractive.
When he heard Ma Guanshan address the people in the carriage, he couldn't help but sigh and feel grateful.
Ever since he came to the Jambu Realm, he had been lost about his future, causing his cultivation to deteriorate.
Very few people could persevere in such a huge gap.
He had been raised as the young master of the Lianhai Manor since he was young. He was convinced that one day, he would inherit the position of Lord of the Lianhai Manor. He had always been training himself so that his body and mind would be in a state suitable for this position.
Suddenly, they all disappeared, as though he was living in a dream. He was lost for a while, until Ma Guanshan's persistence woke him up.
The person in the carriage was naturally the Mahakala Dark Heavens Devil King, Lu Yunyin.
After being rejected countless times by Lu Yunyin, Ma Guanshan had finally become his student.
Of course, he was just a student, not a disciple.
But under the guidance of the former, his cultivation level had improved by leaps and bounds, and he had actually stepped into cultivation before him.
He was stimulated by this and worked hard, finally breaking through to cultivation a few days ago.
......
Lu Yunyin alighted from the carriage.
He looked young, but everyone knew that he had already made a name for himself hundreds of years ago.
His features were cold, and there was a certain dullness to them. He was like a lifeless rock. His lips were very thin, but it didn't make people feel that he was being mean. Instead, it felt just right. His nose bridge was high, making his face look very handsome. But it was a pity that there was no life to speak of on such a handsome face. It wasn't cold and devoid of warmth, but wooden like a dead man. If one looked at him for too long, he would look like a walking corpse, which was rather frightening.
Of course, no one dared to stare at such a person.
So the impression he gave others was that of a cold and handsome cultivator.
Even Ma Guanshan didn't dare to stare at him for too long, let alone others.
When Lu Yunyin alighted from the carriage, almost everyone at the ferry lowered their heads slightly, not daring to stare at him. It was as though their souls would be torn apart if they stared at him for too long. Everyone had their own feelings.
"Teacher, where are we going?" Ma Guanshan asked respectfully.
"To the Great Desert Plains." Lu Yunyin's voice was flat.
"Teacher, why are we going to the Great Desert Plains?" Ma Guanshan didn't know what kind of place the Great Desert Plains was.
"To find Ku Daoshi," Lu Yunyin said.
"Teacher, shouldn't Daoshi be in a Daoist temple? Why is he in the Great Desert?" Ma Guanshan's personality was still jumpy.
"I don't know," Lu Yunyin said.
He wanted to go to the Great Desert Plains to find someone, but he didn't know why that person was there. And he said it as if it was a matter of course. Of course, his tone didn't have any such tendencies, and he was just speculating.
"Teacher, why are you looking for this Ku Daoshi?" Ma Guanshan asked.
Lu Yunyin suddenly glanced at Ma Guanshan. "Don't ask too much."
"Yes." Ma Guanshan knew he was getting impatient, so he quickly stopped talking.
After asking for directions to the Great Desert Plains, they found a boat and let Lu Yunyin board it.
Lian Hai Changjin held Ma Guanshan down and said, "Your teacher is already taking good care of you. Don't you think you should reconsider and stop digging into his background?"
"I still have to know how much confidence I have!" Ma Guanshan shrugged.
Lian Hai Changjin said, "With Senior's cultivation, he could have just flown there, but he chose to take a boat just to let you cultivate. You're even testing this and that every day. That's too much."
"It seems that even an honest person can't stand my behavior." Ma Guanshan shrugged.
"Get on the boat." Lian Hai Changjin rolled her eyes.
…
After traveling for an unknown period of time, the boat suddenly stopped amidst a huge tremor.
Lian Hai Changjin steadied herself and opened the cabin door to see Ma Guanshan walking out with a puzzled expression.
On the other side, Lu Yunyin also came out.
Ma Guanshan grinned and went up to her. "Teacher, it's good that you're here. I'll go up with Changjin to take a look."
"There's killing intent. Be careful." Lu Yunyin walked past the two of them.
The two of them looked at each other with relaxed expressions on their faces.
This was not the first wave of people looking for trouble with them, but none of them got off easy.
Following Lu Yunyin to the deck, they found that the bow of the boat was surrounded by people.
Looking over, they saw another boat that was similar in shape. The bow of the boat on both sides had different degrees of damage.
It turned out that the two boats had suddenly collided.
Colliding was a very rare thing. Because Void Breaker Boats traveled through the void, the chances of two boats entering the same layer of void at the same time were very small.
But Lu Yunyin said there was killing intent, so this collision was definitely not that simple.
The two of them understood. While they were concentrating, Lu Yunyin suddenly turned into a light and landed on the opposite boat.
The people on the opposite boat were all stunned. What kind of movement technique was this?
They retreated to both sides.
Lu Yunyin swept a glance at the crowd. "Those who want revenge, come out."
No one made a sound. Everyone looked at him in bewilderment.
He suddenly grabbed the air, and one of the boatmen felt as if his neck was being strangled by an invisible hand. His eyes almost popped out. Then, with a "kacha" sound, his head tilted to the side.
"You, how can you kill someone?" Another boatman was shocked and angry. Then, his neck was lifted by an invisible hand.
"Kind person, stop!" A soft shout suddenly came from the crowd. A woman with an extraordinary temperament stepped out from the crowd.
