Chapter 706: How Did You End Up Here?

Li An frowned tightly, thinking about this question himself. He had already preliminarily mastered the power of the Xukongzhi Sect, but this disturbance clearly exceeded his expectations.

"I don't know either. But it seems we will have an answer very soon." As soon as Li An finished speaking, a dazzling light suddenly shone before them. Immediately after, a tall woman in a magnificent long robe slowly walked out of the light.

This woman had a breathtakingly beautiful face, yet her eyes revealed an authority not to be underestimated. She was the guardian of the Xukongzhi Sect—Eileen.

"Eileen? How did you end up here?" Li An looked at the woman before him in surprise; he had not expected to meet the guardian of the Xukongzhi Sect here.

Eileen nodded slightly, her gaze sweeping over Li An and Guo Yao: "Li An, you have preliminarily mastered the power of the Xukongzhi Sect, but this is far from enough. To truly master this power, you must undergo a special trial."

Upon hearing this, Guo Yao's face instantly turned pale. She looked at Li An with worry, as if afraid he would refuse this trial. But Li An merely smiled slightly, his eyes filled with determination and confidence.

"A trial? No problem, I am willing to accept it," Li An said, his voice firm and powerful.

Eileen looked at Li An, a hint of approval flashing in her eyes. She nodded slightly, then waved her hand, and a space gate shimmering with strange light slowly opened before them.

"This is your trial space. It is filled with various complex traps and trials. Only by successfully passing through can you truly master the power of the Xukongzhi Sect," Eileen said, her voice revealing an unquestionable authority.

Li An took a deep breath, then stepped into the trial space. Guo Yao stood nervously in place, her eyes filled with worry and expectation.

Inside the trial space, it was dim and mysterious. As soon as Li An stepped in, a powerful aura rushed toward him. He was suddenly stunned, and immediately saw a black shadow attack from the darkness.

Li An flashed his figure, easily dodging the black shadow's attack. He looked around cautiously, trying to find the attacker's tracks. But just then, another black shadow attacked from another direction.

Li An dodged the attack again, and anger surged in his heart... These attackers were clearly testing his strength, but he would never let them succeed.

"Hmph, since you've come, don't think you can leave easily!" Li An snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with cold light.

Just then, he suddenly realized that the attackers' movements seemed to follow a certain pattern. They always attacked from fixed directions, and the time interval between each attack was roughly the same.

Li An's heart stirred, and he immediately thought of a countermeasure. He leaped forward suddenly, his figure tracing a graceful arc in the air. Then, at the moment the attackers attacked again, he spun around sharply, his weapon in hand swinging out like lightning.

"Bang!" A loud crash sounded; the attacker was hit by Li An in one strike, instantly dissolving into a cloud of black smoke in the air.

Li An looked at the scene before him, and a sense of achievement surged in his heart. He knew he had found a way to deal with these attackers, and the subsequent trials should be much easier.

However, as soon as he relaxed his guard, he felt an even stronger aura coming from ahead. He suddenly looked up, only to see a huge phantom slowly walking toward him.
