Trial Nullified
The trembling of the cave was very strong. Even though Ye Zichen was several tens of meters away, he could still feel it.
Cui Fugui stared at the cave. Ye Zichen frowned, then walked towards the cave.
"Where are you going!?"
"To save someone, of course," Ye Zichen replied without thinking. Cui Fugui pulled him back and exclaimed softly, "Do you want to die? We're just two mortals going to save someone? Senior Brother Hu will be fine inside. What's more, this is Yonghe Temple, they'll send people to deal with it. "
With that, two elders clad in black and white Daoist robes appeared above Ye Zichen's head. They stood in the air.
"You …"
"Senior, we're the outer sect disciples that came this time. We just finished the outer sect exam and haven't entered the sect yet," Cui Fugui smiled apologetically.
"Where's Hu Qing?" the elder asked.
"Senior Brother Hu already went in," Cui Fugui nodded and bowed.
"It seems like the guys inside are going berserk again. Hu Qing can't deal with them by himself. Let's hurry in," the white-robed elder frowned.
The white-robed elder frowned. The black-robed elder nodded, and the two of them entered the cave.
"That scared me to death," Cui Fugui patted his chest and panted. Cui Fugui patted his chest and gasped for breath. "These two old men are definitely stronger than Senior Brother Hu. That aura just now …"
Seeing that Ye Zichen did not reply, he raised his eyebrows.
"Brother Ye, what are you thinking about?"
"Nothing."
Ye Zichen shook his head. He had used his spiritual consciousness to check the situation inside the cave.
The one that caused the commotion was a green python. It seemed like an aged yao, although it was only at the mid-stage of the Human Immortal level.
However, with its indestructible scales and strong body, it could at least fight against an early-stage Sky Immortal.
However, the two geezers were both Sky Immortal experts, so they were able to deal with it easily.
However, the green python was a bit strange. Its movements were rather stiff, and it seemed to radiate an aura of death. That caught Ye Zichen's attention.
"Hey, I think you got scared by those two geezers," Cui Fugui patted Ye Zichen's shoulder with a smile. "Don't be scared, I won't laugh at you. I'll tell you the truth, I nearly peed my pants when those two geezers came. "
"Is that so!"
Ye Zichen smiled and nodded.
"His aura is indeed quite strong. As expected of an expert from a cultivation sect."
"Of course, the Yonghe Daoist Temple is one of the top Daoist temples in the Immortal Region. I heard that the Daoist Temple's Sect Master is one of the Three Great Emperors, Great Emperor Yonghe. His strength is unparalleled, only below the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. "
Cui Fugui's expression was filled with yearning, and his pair of rat eyes shone.
"Wouldn't this status mean endless glory, splendor, and wealth? Any girl would throw herself into his arms. If I could reach that position … "
"You won't be able to succeed with this kind of thinking."
Ye Zichen shook his head helplessly. Cui Fugui clearly understood what Ye Zichen meant.
"Wine and meat pass through the intestines, but Buddha remains in the heart. Even the Heavenly Court's Heavenly Canopy Marshal can become an immortal, so why can't I be reluctant to part with the prosperity of the mortal world? "
"You seem to have a good root of wisdom. You should go to Buddhism."
The two of them chatted like this. After the two old men entered the cave, the commotion in the cave became louder and louder. Then, it gradually became softer.
Approximately an hour later, Senior Brother Hu walked out with the two elders, while the other outer sect disciples around them all seemed to be scared out of their wits.
All of them stared blankly in front of them as if they were scared out of their wits. Two of them even held onto four-leaved herbs tightly in their hands. It seemed like entering the outer sect of Yonghe was their obsession.
"These kids are all scared out of their wits," the white-robed elder shook his head. The black-robed elder snorted, "How can they continue on the path of cultivation with just this sort of courage? This sort of small matter …"
"No matter what, they're all mortals. You're asking too much," the white-robed elder shook his head.
The white-robed old man appeared to be much more amiable than the black-robed old man. He gently smiled and pointed at the foreheads of those people.
The expression of the white-robed elder immediately changed, and they all cried out.
The black-robed elder was even more displeased when he saw that. He snorted coldly, then waved his sleeves and left. Hearing that, the surrounding disciples didn't dare to cry out anymore. They secretly glanced at the white-robed elder a few times, then heard him speak.
"This trial was due to the negligence of the elders, but having so many outer sect disciples is also a burden to Yonghe. How about this, we'll leave the decision of whether you stay or leave to the elders. I'll do as you please, "the white-robed elder smiled.
The white-robed old man chuckled. Cui Fugui's small eyes rolled twice after hearing this.
"Old senior."
"What is it?" The elder turned around gently and heard Cui Fugui ask, "Then what will happen to us who passed the trial?"
"Of course we'll be treated equally. You'll follow me to the Elder Cabinet to await punishment."
"Then … aren't we at a huge disadvantage?" Cui Fugui muttered with furrowed brows. Senior Brother Hu gave him a look, signaling him not to speak carelessly. However, the old man shook his head with a faint smile. "If you are fated with the Immortal Sect, you will naturally stay there. If you're not fated, then you'll be kicked out of the outer sect after a few months. Everything has its own destiny. Don't be angry. "
Cui Fugui still wanted to retort, but Ye Zichen pulled him, causing him to shut up bitterly.
Seeing that he was no longer arguing, the old man said to Senior Brother Hu.
"Hu Qing, send them to the Elder Cabinet later. I'll inform the other Elders."
"Yes, Uncle-Master. Take care." Hu Qing bowed and sent the old man off. The old man took a few steps and disappeared into the void.
Even now, Cui Fugui was still in a bad mood. He had finally found a four-leaved herb with great difficulty, but now he had to make a duplex.
"What you said just now was a bit too much." Hu Qing walked over and patted Cui Fugui's shoulder. "Fortunately, you met Martial Uncle Bai. If you met Martial Uncle Hei, you would have been slapped to death for talking like that."
"I just can't accept it. I'm desperately trying to get this herb and play with it!"
Cui Fugui straightened his neck, his eyes filled with anger. Hu Qing shook his head and smiled.
"When the time comes, all you need to do is hold this herb in your hands. You will have a four-leaf herb, and when the time comes, the Elder Cabinet will naturally favor you. Do not panic."
"Really?" Cui Fugui raised his eyebrows. Hu Qing nodded, then smiled towards the surrounding people, "Everyone heard what Martial Uncle Bai said just now. Please follow me to the Elder Cabinet."
Hu Qing led Ye Zichen and Cui Fugui to the front of the group on the way to the Elder Cabinet.
Along the way, Cui Fugui continuously looked around in surprise. At that moment, he suddenly noticed the wound on Hu Qing's arm, and couldn't help but comfort him.
"Senior Brother Cui, did you get this wound in the cave?"
"Yes." Hu Qing smiled as he covered up the wound on his arm. "Actually, the reason why Martial Uncle asked you to go to the Elder Cabinet was also because of this cave."
"What do you mean?" Cui Fugui didn't understand.
