Chapter 349: Entering Yingxin Gorge

After the man and woman finished speaking.

Their figures flashed and disappeared.

After the two departed.

The crowd all around looked at one another, then one after another entered the gorge.

In the blink of an eye, more than half the crowd on the Square had vanished.

"Daoist Friend Wang, my sister has already gone in; I will go and persuade him again."

At this moment, Nancheng Kong's voice came over.

Wang Jianqiang looked at him with a smile that was not quite a smile, and did not stop him.

Nancheng Kong, as if granted a pardon, grabbed Bai Wuqing and quickly flew toward the inside of the gorge.

Being with Wang Jianqiang, he felt immense pressure.

Better slip away quickly.

"Daoist Friend Wang, Mo will take his leave first."

Mo Wuming flew over from the rear, greeted Wang Jianqiang, and rushed into the gorge.

After waiting for another moment.

"Senior Brother, let us go in too."

Seeing that everyone around had already entered the gorge, Mu Lingxi looked toward Wang Jianqiang.

Wang Jianqiang did not respond immediately, his gaze flickering for a moment.

Just now, when those two Guides mentioned entering the gorge.

Relying on the insight of his Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze, he had clearly seen a trace of something unusual on their faces.

That expression was as if they were...

Gloating.

"Senior Brother?"

Seeing that Wang Jianqiang did not respond, a flash of confusion crossed Mu Lingxi's face, and she called out again.

Wang Jianqiang came back to his senses upon hearing this.

"Senior Brother, what were you thinking about just now? So absorbed?"

Wang Yuyao walked up and said gently.

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "It's nothing, I just feel that this gorge shouldn't be simple."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, the women were all surprised.

"Hasn't the assessment already ended?" Qingcheng asked in confusion.

"I can't say for sure either." Wang Jianqiang shook his head and looked at Xing Li, "What does Xingli Xianzi think?"

Xing Li pondered for a moment and said, "This trip will likely not be smooth, though while there is danger, there is no threat to life."

"Since Xingli Xianzi also has this premonition, it shows that this gorge is indeed not simple."

Wang Jianqiang nodded and swept his gaze over the women.

"You must be cautious after entering."

"Let's go."

The women nodded and followed closely behind.

Just after entering the gorge, Wang Jianqiang immediately looked up at the sky, a golden light flashing in his eyes, "There is a Restriction!"

Hearing his words, the women's expressions were startled.

Wang Jianqiang looked carefully for a moment, then relaxed, "No matter, it is just a Forbidden Air Array; as long as the flight altitude does not exceed this gorge, the array will not be triggered."

"Moreover, this array only restricts flight altitude and has no offensive power."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, the women's expressions eased.

……

Above Yingxin Gorge.

Outside the Restriction.

Two figures, a man and a woman, were hovering in mid-air.

The man was an old man with white hair and beard, and the woman was a beautiful matron with a graceful figure.

"Eh?"

Suddenly, a sound of surprise came from the old man's mouth.

"What is it, Fifth Elder? Did you discover something?"

The old man called Fifth Elder stared intently at the gorge entrance below, his expression somewhat hesitant, "That New Student has such keen perception; he was actually able to discover the Restriction above the gorge."

Hearing the old man's words, the matron's gaze subconsciously followed the direction of the old man's eyes.

It landed on the man in front of the nine beautiful women inside the gorge entrance.

A look of surprise flashed across her face.

"The Restriction above the gorge is something even an ordinary Spirit Transformation Stage cultivator might not be able to discover; this person actually discovered it just after entering the gorge?"

"He is only at the Nascent Soul Early Stage; isn't this perception too exaggerated?"

"He must have cultivated some powerful secret technique to enhance perception, or perhaps he has a special talent in terms of perception," the old man pondered for a moment and said.

The matron nodded; those were the only two possibilities.

The old man shifted his gaze from Wang Jianqiang and looked at the women behind him.

Then he looked toward several other directions.

In those several directions were...

A woman wearing a silver dress and a mask, a woman in a golden dress with golden hair, a man whose appearance was as beautiful as a woman's, a man radiating a scorching aura from his entire body, and a young man in fine clothing with disheveled black hair.

After withdrawing his gaze, the old man suddenly began to laugh.

"Interesting."

"The quality of this year's assessment is quite high!"

At the same time.

At the other end of the gorge.

Two figures, one man and one woman, flashed into view.

They were precisely those two Guide Envoys.

The two of them looked into the gorge.

The woman among them suddenly spoke, "Does Jing think anyone will be able to escape this time?"

The man shook his head, "No one can escape."

The woman was astonished upon hearing this, "That can't be, this is the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace's once-in-a-millennium large-scale recruitment; every examinee was culled from hundreds of millions of candidates and is a top-tier prodigy of the Nine Realms."

"In past small-scale recruitments held every fifty years, there were still potential lucky ones who managed to escape the pillaging."

"The quality of the students this session is extremely high, so how could they be completely wiped out?"

The man smiled, "Chang is unaware, but Aofanyu has also accepted this Newcomer Training Mission."

"Aofanyu is actually interested in a Newcomer Training Mission?" A look of surprise appeared on the woman's face.

The man smiled, "The Assessment Secret Realm is filled with treasures; it is an assessment, but also the greatest reward the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace bestows upon New Students."

"The difficulty of obtaining resources there is much simpler than inside the Immortal Palace."

"And as you said, this is a once-in-a-millennium large-scale recruitment; the talent of the New Students must be very high, and correspondingly, the treasures obtained in the Assessment Secret Realm will surely be plentiful."

"Therefore, the potential spoils of this Newcomer Training Mission are much greater than usual, making it extremely sought after."

"It is not just Aofanyu; the other nine people who accepted the mission are also no simple characters."

Speaking of this, a trace of envy appeared on his face.

"If it weren't for the fact that Newcomer Training Missions can only be accepted by students who have entered the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace within the last hundred years, I would have wanted to take one myself."

Upon hearing this, the woman revealed a look of sudden realization.

Then she began to laugh.

"In that case, the New Students of this session are quite unlucky."

……

Yingxin Gorge is very large.

It was larger than Wang Jianqiang had expected.

He led the women forward in flight for over half a day, yet they had not even crossed a small fraction of the distance.

Wang Jianqiang was at the very front.

While flying forward, he scanned his surroundings, Golden Light flickering within his eyes.

"Wait~"

Just at this moment, Wang Jianqiang suddenly raised his hand, bringing his figure to a halt.

The women stopped immediately.

"What is it, Senior Brother?" Mu Lingxi's expression shifted.

Wang Jianqiang stared ahead and said slowly, "There is a battle happening a hundred miles ahead."

The women were long accustomed to Wang Jianqiang's super-strong insight.

Upon hearing his words, they subconsciously restrained their auras.

"Should we go around it or go take a look?" Qingcheng looked toward Wang Jianqiang.

"Of course we are going to join in the excitement."

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "This Yingxin Gorge is very strange; the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace seems to be deliberately hiding something from us."

"Taking this opportunity, we might be able to obtain some information."

"Otherwise, if we walk on blindly, it will only be more dangerous."

The women nodded upon hearing this.

One after another, they concealed their auras and followed Wang Jianqiang as they flew forward.
