Chapter 203
byOrdinarily, for a group of people with such foot strength, they could cover a distance of five hundred miles in just two hours. For a Divine Movement Realm expert, it would take even less than half an hour to fly there.
However, it took them a full two days to travel five hundred miles in the Netherworld Mountain, and they still hadn’t arrived. The dangers and attacks they encountered along the way far exceeded everyone’s expectations.
During a break, Ling Taixu asked, “Palace Master Yan, does someone from your Myriad Flowers Palace come here every ten years? Is it always this dangerous?” Although there were also monsters blocking the way back then it wasn’t as frequent as this time.
The old woman pondered for a moment and said, “No. I don’t know why it’s like this this time. Something must have happened in the Netherworld Mountain. Some of the Youdaoplaceholder0 the beast has been driven to the outer perimeter.
Upon hearing her words, both Ling Taixu and Gui Li’s expressions changed slightly.
The old woman also sensed something was amiss and immediately suggested, “This place is not suitable for us to stay for long. Let’s continue on our way.”
The group set off on their journey again. Half a day later, they finally arrived at their destination safely without any major incidents.
There is a huge lake in front. The lake water is clear and sparkling, but there is a strange atmosphere on the calm lake surface, making Yang Kai have a feeling of palpitations and unease.
Looking from a distance, it can be seen that there are piles of people and horses gathered at the edge of this lake. These people are all masters of various forces in the Great Han bringing their disciples to experience. The number of people varies, and the most is only seven or eight, and the least is only three or four.
These people are all separated by a distance of about thirty zhang and are gathered at the edge of the lake.
After seeing the group of people and horses led by Ling Taixu, they all showed a faint dislike and vigilance.
The old woman of the Myriad Flowers Palace nodded slightly to Ling Taixu, and then led the beautiful woman and the four girls towards the lake.
The appearance of this group of women immediately the eyes of countless young men. The girls were also used to this kind of scene and did not have much emotional fluctuation. They just obediently followed behind the old woman and found an unoccupied position to stop.
Gui Li smiled sinisterly at Ling Taixu and then looked at Yang Kai with great meaning.
Jin Hao even snorted coldly and made a throat-slitting gesture to Yang Kai. Only then, under the leadership of Gui Li, he walked in the opposite direction of the people of the Myriad Flowers Palace.
“Let’s also find a place！” Ling Taixu said and then led Yang Kai towards the lake.
Most of the positions by the lake have been occupied by these earlier-arriving forces. Ling Taixu and Yang Kai have walked for a long time and haven’t found a place to stop.
But every time they pass a group of people, Ling Taixu will quietly transmit his voice, telling him the forces to which this group of people belong, whether they are righteous or evil, how strong the disciples participating in the trial are, and what kind of sects should be carefully guarded against.
Yang Kai secretly remembers it in his heart and shows no change on his face.
They have been circling around most of the lake, and finally only found an unoccupied site. Ling Taixu obviously relaxes a sigh of relief.
After staying the two sit cross-legged. Ling Taixu becomes more detailed in telling Yang Kai the detailed situation of the various large and small forces by the lake. Yang Kai writes it down with his heart while secretly observing.
The more he understands, the more Yang Kai can perceive the danger of this experience.
These forces all belong to the Great Han. Most of them are first- and second-class sects, and there are also some third-class sects. Each has sent at least two or three disciples. Like Yang Kai, who is going to experience alone, there is absolutely none.
Ling Taixu also originally wanted to bring two more people to accompany Yang Kai, but there are really no good candidates in the Lingxiao Pavilion.
Su Yan could have come, but she practices the Ice Heart Secret Art. Killing too much would not be beneficial to her. Xia Ning Shang could also have come, but she happens to be Meng Wuya’s disciple. Meng Wuya treasures her and wouldn’t be willing to let her take risks. As for Xie Hongchen and the like, Ling Taixu didn’t consider them at all. Bringing him here would only cause trouble for Yang Kai.
The strength of these young people who came to the lake is all higher than Yang Kai’s. At least they are all at the seventh or eighth layer of the Lihe Realm. There are many Zhenyuan Realm experts.
Fortunately, no one from the eight great families in the Central Capital was seen here.
“Only martial artists at the Zhenyuan Realm and below can go in for training, so you don’t have to worry about encountering a Shenyou Realm expert inside. With your strength, you should be able to deal with an enemy at the second or third layer of the Zhenyuan Realm. But if you encounter someone with a higher strength, your grandmaster only has one piece of advice for you – run！ A man should be able to take things up and put them down. Don’t be blindly competitive. Being able to take things up is strength, and being able to put them down is wisdom！”
“I understand.” Yang Kai nodded slightly.
“Remember, there is only one task inside, and that is to survive. If you want to become stronger, you don’t necessarily have to fight with others. Hunting monsters is also a means of becoming stronger. I estimate that there are not a few people with this kind of plan. If there are really people you can trust, it’s okay to unite with each other. This is also a way to survive.”
“Yeah. Grandmaster, look over there. Which sect is that? Their outfits are quite strange.” Yang Kai suddenly gestured with his eyes towards the distance.
Ling Taixu fixed his eyes and couldn’t help but frown. He saw a group of people over there. Whether it was their clothing or appearance, there were some slight differences from others.
As if sensing the gazes of Ling Taixu and Yang Kai, the group of people over there also looked back, with cold and fierce expressions, and the meaning of warning was quite strong.
“They’re not from the Great Han！” Ling Taixu said softly. “They’re from the Tianlang Kingdom.”
“The people from the Tianlang Kingdom have also come here?” Yang Kai was stunned. The Tianlang Kingdom was adjacent to the Great Han. Why did the sects there travel thousands of miles to this forbidden area?
The martial atmosphere in Tianlang is fierce. It is rumored that most of the warriors are cruel and ruthless people. Moreover, they are not of our race. You must be careful if you encounter them inside. The strength of this group of people is simply irresistible for you.”
“They dress quite revealingly.” Yang Kai watched with great interest. Among the group of people from the Tianlang Kingdom, there were two women with enchanting figures. Their clothes were extremely scarce, with both arms exposed. The tight-fitting tops could not cover their proud twins which seemed to be about to burst out. The tops were very small, and with the slightest movement of these two women, their flat abdomens and delicate navels were exposed. Their beautiful figures were faintly visible. The lower garments were only knee-length, revealing a section of snow-white calves.
“Alas…” Ling Taixu shook his head helplessly. He still couldn’t quite understand how the eldest brother, who was so honest and wooden, could give birth to such a vulgar brat like Yang Kai.
As time passed, more and more people came to the side of this lake. Also, no one knew according to what kind of rule, but all the various forces were separated by a certain distance and quietly waited.
In less than a day, the lake was actually surrounded by a circle of people.
The latecomers, having no place, would naturally set their sights on the places occupied by the weaker ones. In just a few words, if they didn’t agree, they would start fighting.
In just one short hour, four or five battles broke out. The people of a small power, whether it was the older generation or the young disciples who came to train, were all slaughtered.
The bloody and cruel scene didn’t attract anyone’s attention. Since they dared to come here, they had to be prepared for conflicts with others. If one’s skills were inferior and they were killed by others, they couldn’t blame anyone.
Fortunately, although Ling Taixu and Yang Kai had only two people, they weren’t targeted by anyone, which saved a lot of trouble.
But the good times didn’t last long. With more and more forces arriving, Ling Taixu and Yang Kai were still noticed by others.
An old man about the same age as Ling Taixu, leading a man and a woman, two young disciples, strolled over and stopped ten zhang in front of Ling Taixu..
Ling Taixu was sitting cross-legged on the ground, opened his eyes and looked at him, with a calm expression.
Yang Kai was secretly on guard aside, but somewhat surprisingly, he didn’t sense any hostility or killing intent from the newcomers.
The old man on the opposite side pondered slightly and propped to Ling Taixu, saying This old man is Zhuo Wen from Yingyue Sect. May I ask your name, sir!
“Ling Taixu from Lingxiao Pavilion！”
“So it’s Brother Ling!” Zhuo Wen had obviously heard of Lingxiao Pavilion and greeted him. Then he went straight to the point and said, “Brother Ling, please forgive me. This old man brought his disciples all the way through mountains and rivers and came a little late. I didn’t expect so many forces to come for this off-site experience this time, so we don’t have a place.”
Ling Taixu brought Yang Kai directly across thousands of miles at a gallop, so although they set off later, they still arrived relatively early. And this Zhuo Wen of Yingyue Sect had already set off a month ago, but the journey was long, and coupled with the hardships all the way after entering Youming Mountain, he actually arrived two days later than Ling Taixu.
“What’s your advice, Brother Zhuo？” Since the other party had no ill intentions, Ling Taixu naturally didn’t need to show a bad face. Although he guessed the other party’s intention in his heart, he still asked aloud.
Zhuo Wen gave a dry laugh and said, “Zhuo wants to discuss something with Brother Ling. That crossing-lake duckweed can carry four people in at a time. Zhuo saw that there is only one disciple beside Brother Ling. Can you do me a favor and let my two disciples take a free ride？ Otherwise, Zhuo will make a vain trip this time. I’m afraid I will be laughed at when I go back, and it will also disappoint the two disciples.”
Ling Taixu cast his gaze at the two young disciples behind Zhuo Wen.
The two quickly stepped forward. The man said, “Disciple Chen Xueshu has met Senior Ling.”
The woman said, “Disciple Shu Xiaoyu has met Senior Ling.”
Both of them performed the disciple’s salute, with respectful expressions and no trace of dissatisfaction or arrogance. Ling Taixu saw their performance in his eyes and nodded secretly. Like the Lingxiao Pavilion, the Yingyue Sect is also a second-class sect, and there are no extremely evil people among the disciples. Moreover, both this man and woman have gentle looks and don’t seem to be the kind of people who like to fight bravely and fiercely.
Seeing Ling Taixu pondering, Zhuo Wen quickly said, “Brother Ling, don’t worry. My two disciples have kind hearts. This time they go to experience, Youdaoplaceholder0 to hunt monsters and look for opportunities. They will never do anything to your disciples. I can guarantee this with my head.”
After that, he added, “If this little brother doesn’t mind, he can also form a team with my two disciples after entering and take care of each other.”
Ling Taixu already had a plan in his heart, but still looked at Yang Kai and asked, “What do you think？”
Yang Kai nodded indifferently： “We can go in together, but forget about forming a team.”
Everyone is not familiar with each other. Although this Chen Xueshu and Shu Xiaoyu look good, but you can know a person’s face but not his heart, so naturally you have to be on guard. Moreover, even if Yang Kai trusts these two people, whether the other party believes him is also uncertain. Zhuo Wen’s words are just polite words, how can they be taken seriously？
