Chapter 243

Zhou Daoling watched coldly, looking at Jiang Yuansong, his gaze carrying a faint murderous intent.

Jiang Yuansong immediately coughed and stood to the side: "Hmm, since Liluo asked us to come, naturally we should come, but I don't know what for?"

Nangong Liluo looked at the Sword Sea, her brows slightly furrowed: "My disciple Heng Xian has been misunderstood these years and treated as some kind of demon traitor. I asked you to come to help clarify and return justice and innocence to my useless disciple!"

Li Chundao, Jian Xu Gu, and the group looked at each other. Could Heng Xian still be cleared?

Zhou Daoling, Jiang Yuansong, and the old monk Shancun looked at each other and said: "If he is truly innocent, we should naturally return justice to him, but..."

Nangong Liluo said: "I know my disciple."

Jin Shanghua saw this and immediately said: "Heng Xian also entered the Sword Sea Ruins, but the portal of the ruins just suddenly closed, and nearly three thousand disciples are all trapped inside!"

Jiang Yuansong scanned the "Sword Sea": "Didn't you try to open it?"

Shen Santian said: "The portal opens once every sixty years, and the magic barrier is enough to support three months, but this kind of sudden closure is the first time we've encountered it."

"We dare not act rashly, for fear of destroying the barrier!"

Zhou Daoling looked at Jiang Yuansong and the old monk Shancun and said: "Let's try!"

The three leaped into the high sky, their momentum as vast as the sea, each casting a magic restriction.

"Hum—"

The seawater, sword Qi, and spiritual aura of the entire "Sword Sea" gathered crazily, gradually turning into a blurry portal.

However, as soon as the three stopped casting, the portal scattered like loose sand.

The three frowned slightly.

"This..." Jian Xu Gu and the group below were confused.

Zhen Jing looked up and bowed: "I don't know the reason for this?"

Zhou Daoling and the three landed, and the old monk Shancun said: "The ancient restriction has gained spirituality and has refused the opening of the portal!"

Jin Shanghua asked anxiously: "What does this mean?"

Jiang Yuansong said: "It means that the disciples below only have two paths: one, obtain the inheritance permitted by the ancient restriction; two, death!"

The dense crowd of elders from various sects couldn't help but gasp, secretly sweating for their disciples.

This way of playing, where one either dies or obtains a fate opportunity, was simply too thrilling!

Zhou Daoling and the three looked at Nangong Liluo again.

The old monk Shancun said: "Benefactor Nangong, this old monk owed you a favor back then, and I will naturally repay it another day! But Heng Xian, this child, after all, really was with the ancient demon Heizei, and the fourteen sects did indeed lose more than five thousand disciples because of this matter. If you want to return his innocence, I'm afraid it's very difficult!"

The elders of the various sects below took the opportunity to say: "That's right! Please, Fellow Daoist Nangong, be clear-sighted!"

Nangong Liluo said coldly: "I have already made it very clear. He is young; first, he was forced by some scoundrels, and second, he was bewitched by the ancient demon! I am willing to use all the merits I have done for the Eastern Region cultivation world over these years to exchange for his innocence, and I guarantee he will not do wrong things again!"

The old monk Shancun stroked his beard and said: "If we say Heng Xian, this child, was indeed forced by circumstances or bewitched by a demon, it can be understood. But if you want to return his innocence, at least he must prove his own value. This is the old rule of the Eastern Region cultivation world!"

Nangong Liluo frowned.

Zhou Daoling said softly: "If this child comes out alive and can obtain a fate opportunity in the top fifteen of the Sword Sea Ruins, and then sincerely repents, I will make the decision to let him return to the Tianyuan Sect, and the various sects are not allowed to gossip anymore!"

The old monk Shancun stroked his beard and smiled slightly: "In that case, he is a person of outstanding talent, and we should naturally open a side for him and give him a chance!"

Jiang Yuansong said lightly: "Can do!"

The dense crowd of elders below looked at each other and bowed one after another: "We agree!"

Then everyone looked at Nangong Liluo.

The nearly three thousand disciples of various sects who entered this time were all the elite of the elite. Just in the early stage of the Primordial Dan Realm, there were hundreds of them. A top fifteen fate opportunity was extremely difficult; this was almost the same as not giving a chance!

Nangong Liluo was silent for three breaths: "Good! Top fifteen, then top fifteen!"

……

In the dense forest of the ruins, it had already become a mess.

Everyone was chasing and killing the "cat-faced man" crazily, because their time was running out. Many people had tree seedlings on their heads that had grown to the size of a palm. The reason they hadn't fallen was, first, they had been enduring the same pain these days and had become somewhat resistant to pain.

Second, the "cat-faced man" was their only hope. As long as they caught him and snatched the gray medicinal liquid on him, they could survive!

However, they always felt the "cat-faced man" was right in front, but they could never find him!

Thus, there were scenes of "seedling people" running wildly everywhere.

"Daji!"

In the tree hole, two fluorescent stones lit up.

Heng Xian sat with his legs crossed, shaking a porcelain cup in his hand, which contained the sand grape wine he brewed himself in Hanshan. He took a sip and looked outside through the crack in the tree hole.

"Stop! Don't run!"

Another group of people passed by, among them Shen Qiong of the Luoxia Valley.

Looking at the tree seedlings on the heads of the group, Heng Xian clicked his tongue: "They are almost blooming, pitiful!"

"Boom..."

Just at this moment, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the sky, followed by rain pouring down.

Heng Xian was stunned. It's raining again?

"It's raining..."

The disciples of the various sects outside stopped chasing and fell to the ground one after another, their momentum weakened to the extreme, painful wails rising one after another...

Especially Niu Wanli, Ye Hongxue, Yu Qiuyi, Du Qiyue, and others who were gathered together, lying in a sprawl, hope already lost in their eyes.

"Is there any medicinal liquid left?" The nun Yuanyao asked with difficulty.

"Only the bottom of the bottle!" Yu Qiuyi took out the gray bottle with difficulty, caught some rainwater, shook it a few times, poured it into their mouth, tasted it, and fell down dejectedly: "Useless!"

Du Qiyue smiled bitterly: "Fate opportunity, fate opportunity, to end up in such a state!"

"I actually want to know, who exactly is that cat-faced man?" Niu Wanli said in a muffled voice.

"It doesn't matter anymore, does it?" Shen Qiong hugged their knees, curled up together.

"Boom—"

The rain got heavier!

More than two hundred people waited with difficulty for death to arrive.

"The shit the cat-faced man laid is really stinky!" Ye Hongxue said suddenly at this time: "I feel like I'm having hallucinations now, it doesn't hurt at all, and I even feel warm all over. I thought of that lump of shit again. I got a bit too much at the time; that was the last color of humiliation in my life!"

Everyone couldn't help but smile bitterly and look at them. At this look, they were all stunned.

Feeling everyone's gaze, Ye Hongxue turned their head and asked: "What's wrong?"

Yu Qiuyi pointed at their head: "The tree seedling on your head is gone!"

Ye Hongxue reached out and touched it, their eyes widening, then pointed at everyone: "Eh? Yours are gone too!"

Everyone touched their heads, stood up one after another, and looked around. Not only them, but all the disciples of the various sects had the tree seedlings and tender buds on their heads disappear completely.

Even the pain in their bodies disappeared along with it.

Soon, a warm current filled everyone's bodies.

The feedback had arrived!

Everyone had survived a disaster and was overjoyed. They didn't care about the reason and immediately sat cross-legged to absorb the feedback.

A full half-stick of incense later, the rain stopped, and everyone opened their eyes one after another.

Niu Wanli said refreshedly: "Hahaha, the toxins eliminated themselves. Could it be related to the rainwater?"

Yu Qiuyi nodded: "It started with the rain and ended with the rain. If it's a test, then we have all passed!"

Everyone was overjoyed again, then looked around.

"It seems something has become different!" Someone exclaimed.

Ye Hongxue pointed to one side: "There is a bird and a road there!"

They saw a bluestone road appear directly in front, and a strange bird was squatting on a small tree by the road.

The bird had a long beak, large eyes, wore a small red vest, and had a human-like smile on its face.

"What a strange bird!" Everyone couldn't help but feel a chill.

But Yu Qiuyi and a few others were overjoyed: "The bluestone road appears, the strange bird welcomes us. Could it be that the ruins of the super sect have appeared?"

"Plop!"

Just at this moment, a figure fell from mid-air and stood beside the strange bird.

It was the "cat-faced man," and they saw him holding a withered branch, poking the strange bird's butt.

The strange bird felt pain, let out a "ga" sound, and flew toward the end of the bluestone road.

"Uh..."

Niu Wanli, Yu Qiuyi, and the group were dumbfounded.

Whether it was the sudden appearance of the "cat-faced man" or him poking the butt of the "passing strange bird" with a tree branch, it was unacceptable!

"You're courting death!"

"Stop!"

Everyone scolded one after another, and even didn't hesitate to manipulate their spiritual weapons, preparing to take action.

The "cat-faced man" turned back, made a middle-finger gesture, and then strode toward the end of the bluestone road.

"Stop!" A group of people followed behind one after another.

This bluestone road was, of course, the road to pass the test.

Heng Xian didn't intentionally poke the strange bird's butt; it was just that this bird was too cunning. During this time, it kept running to the top of his head to lay shit with no nutritional value. Anyone would be angry.

He couldn't get entangled with the group of sect disciples behind him here, so he couldn't help but speed up his pace.

The group of sect disciples behind followed closely, but no one dared to fly up and take action rashly. Who knew what the situation was with this road to pass the test? What if they broke the balance?

Take it one step at a time.

After walking for a full hour, they finally reached the end.

Whether it was Heng Xian or the sect disciples behind, they were all stunned on the spot!
