The black-robed guide's eerie voice sounded as if it had come from hell, sending chills down everyone's spine.
At this moment, Chen Xiao also frowned slightly.
Others might not be able to sense it, but he could see it clearly. This person's malicious gaze had stayed on him for a long time.
"Could it be the Yuwen family's doing?"
Just as Liu Cangqiu had said.
This person had stayed in the Yuwen family's territory for many years. No one would believe that there was nothing fishy going on between the two parties.
When they were on the cruise ship, they suddenly added a rule and chose Chen Xiao. His nameplate lit up and he became everyone's target.
Chen Xiao squinted his eyes and a dangerous light flashed in his eyes.
Then, he shook his head and laughed. If this person was really up to no good, he wouldn't mind killing him when he made his move.
"The trial will be carried out in sequence. There is no priority. There is no need to rush."
Soon, the twenty-seven people who entered the second round entered the cavern one after another.
Not long after, the narrow passageway widened, and a long row of neat forks appeared before everyone's eyes.
"There are so many forks. Can we just pick one?"
A bold Trial Taker stepped forward and picked a path. Soon, he disappeared at the end of the tunnel.
"It looks like there is no danger. Let's go!" Soon, the second and third Trial Takers left.
Only Chen Xiao stood at the end of the line. He used his Divine Will to scan every corner of the mountain.
Under the sweep of his Divine Sense, the passage that was extremely mysterious in the eyes of others was presented in his field of vision without the slightest mistake, as if it was a naked girl.
"It is indeed the ruins of an ancient faction. However, many places have been damaged. The Departed Island has used modern technology to fill in the gaps and use it as a trial ground."
"The level of the array is at least above the divine level. Although it is damaged, it is still working. Maybe there are some ancient secrets left behind!"
Right at this moment, an unfathomable and mysterious fluctuation suddenly flashed in his mind.
Immediately, Chen Xiao frowned and had a strange look on his face.
The speed of that fluctuation was too astonishing, even faster than lightning. Even he couldn't capture its trajectory!
With his current level of Divine Will, even a peerless powerhouse would not be able to escape from his search.
"This is really interesting. I'm afraid that there's some sort of shocking secret buried deep under this Departed World Island. I might have to properly excavate it!"
However.
In the eyes of some Trial Takers, Chen Xiao's current look was a sign of hesitation.
"Tsk tsk, Yuan Shi, why are you still hiding at the back? Why don't you go and kill all the obstacles?"
A short-haired young man sneered disdainfully.
The young man was called Jing Xuan. He was the only top Trial Taker who had obtained all the participants' limelight.
He came complacently, confident that he would shine in the trial. Who knew that a freak like Chen Xiao would appear out of nowhere and kill all the experts with thunderous means, instantly seizing all the limelight!
At this moment, Jing Xuan immediately seized the opportunity when he saw Chen Xiao was hesitating.
"Although you did well in the preliminary test, you were just relying on your strength. You don't have the qualities of an assassin at all."
Many people looked over. Jing Xuan's chin was slightly raised, like a senior evaluating a junior.
"What does the Departed Island need? The best assassin! And you, other than being stronger, have no advantage at all! "
Jing Xuan spoke with confidence and composure, immediately arousing the resonance of many of the trial takers.
Although Chen Xiao was powerful and invincible, in their eyes, Chen Xiao did not look like an assassin at all!
"That's right. He does have an advantage in confrontation. But in terms of real assassination skills, I'm afraid he hasn't even crossed the threshold!"
"He doesn't dare to enter the passageway now. I guess he's afraid of being exposed in the second test!"
Someone immediately echoed and looked at Chen Xiao with disdain.
Most of them thought that they were talented, but they were crushed by Chen Xiao with brute force. Of course, they were unhappy with him.
At that moment, almost everyone's eyes were locked on Chen Xiao.
They wanted to see how the first in the preliminary test would respond.
Finally, Chen Xiao said, "You're Jing Xuan, right?"
"That's right. This name deserves to be engraved in your mind. Because I will definitely rise here and become the top assassin of the Departed Island!" Jing Xuan nodded proudly.
Chen Xiao smiled. A terrifying aura that was as deep as the sky and as deep as the abyss quietly leaked out. A bright electric light pierced through the void.
"Tell me, if I kill you here, will the Departed Island choose a dead man as their assassin?"
"You —"
Jing Xuan held his breath and his face gradually turned red. Looking at the electric light hanging above his head, he felt like his head was going to explode.
He had never expected that Chen Xiao would dare to kill him under such circumstances!
But Jing Xuan had to admit it.
If Chen Xiao really killed him, no matter what kind of punishment Chen Xiao would receive, the Departed Island would definitely not make a big fuss over a dead man.
"Humph, that's all you've got."
Jing Xuan gritted his teeth. He was filled with resentment and viciousness. Without saying anything, he directly rushed into a branching passage.
"When I become an official assassin, and you become a substitute, I'll come and settle the score with you!"
As for fighting head-on now? He didn't have the guts!
Seeing this, a few other Trial Takers hurriedly followed, and they didn't even dare to look back as they fled into the passageway.
"Yuan Shi, even if you can kill us, can you kill everyone on the Departed Island? Can you even kill the master of the island?"
Someone shouted in the passage.
Their thoughts were similar to Jing Xuan's.
There were not many official members on the Departed Island. It was forbidden to kill each other, but the subordinates had to obey the orders of their superiors!
Based on Chen Xiao's performance, it was almost impossible for him to become an official member. At most, he would be a substitute.
Therefore, as long as they became official members, they would be able to trample on Chen Xiao!
More and more people entered the passageway, and soon there were only two people left outside.
One was Chen Xiao, and the other was Chu Hongxiu, whom he had met once.
"Uncle, are you alright?" Chu Hongxiu asked with a smile. "Do you need my help?"
"Little girl, you'd better worry about yourself."
Chen Xiao happened to retract his Divine Sense. He glanced at Chu Hongxiu and said indifferently, "Your cultivation technique has reached its limit. When the time comes, you'll either explode and die, or you'll disperse your cultivation and re-cultivate. There's not much time left for you."
He did not say much. He only said those words indifferently before walking into a passage and disappearing.
Chu Hongxiu was left on the spot, her face filled with shock and sluggishness.
She had never mentioned her body's condition to anyone, but Chen Xiao had seen through it with a glance!
"How is this possible? He can actually see through my cultivation technique and even see through my condition? "
