Chapter 1069 The first round of assessment begins!
"It seems that everyone has almost left..."
At this time, Yu Feihong brushed the dust off his body and glanced around, finally landing on Liang Yan and Ji Lai.
"These two fellow Taoists have really good eyesight!" the bald man laughed loudly.
"You're not bad either. We all treat each other well." Liang Yan responded lightly.
After listening to the conversation between the two people, Li Xiran was completely confused, but she trusted Liang Yan quite a lot. At this time, she no longer mentioned entering the examination room, but stood there and watched what happened.
At this time, Yu Feihong smiled softly and said again: "It's almost time. It's time for us to leave for the examination room, right?"
"good!"
Liang Yan nodded lightly. As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his hand and punched. He saw a surging punch rushing into the air. The target was none other than Bai Xu, who was sitting on the back of the big bird.
Old man!
"Brother Liang!"
Although he trusted Liang Yan very much, Li Xiran couldn't help but exclaimed at this moment.
Even though she had hundreds of guesses before, she would never have guessed that Liang Yan would attack the examiner!
Putting aside the identity of the other party, the pressure of the Tongxuan Realm alone is definitely not something they, the Golden Core Realm monks, can withstand.
And openly attacking the examiner, this is the rhythm of giving up the exam!
In Li Xiran's mind, Liang Yan has always been prudent in his actions. During the battle with the red-faced ghost, it was thanks to the other party that he persuaded him to endure until the end, otherwise the outcome would have been unpredictable.
But now he was out of character and actually did such a ridiculous thing. Li Xiran was so shocked that he didn't know what to do for a moment.
Just when she was surprised, the expression of the white-bearded old man on the bird's back changed drastically.
Faced with the provocation of a Jindan monk, the examiner from the Tongxuan Realm, instead of being as angry as expected, actually looked a little panicked.
He had no intention of fighting back, but raised his hand and patted the bird's back. The big bird immediately let out a long cry and flew into the sky carrying the man.
"Want to run? Can you run?"
A sneer came from mid-air, but a monk who had returned to the first sect slowly appeared above the big bird.
This man was able to control the wind with his own strength, and his white clothes were fluttering. He pinched the magic formula in his hand, and immediately a huge magic seal fell from the sky and suppressed it towards the head of the "Master Bird".
"Master Bird" had just escaped Liang Yan's punch, but now he was being chased by the monks from Guiyi Sect, and his expression became even more panicked.
Facing the menacing Taoist seal above his head, he did not dare to confront it head-on. He hurriedly grabbed the big bird and flew towards the depths of the peach forest.
"Why is 'Senior' in such a hurry?"
Ji Lai seemed to have calculated his route accurately and had been waiting here for a long time. At this time, he laughed and raised his hand to fold a fan. A strong wind swept out, and actually blew the "Bird Master" down together with the bird.
Fly back.
At the same time, Yu Feihong, the "Golden Lamp Arhat", had also jumped into the air. He held a dim butter lamp in his right hand, from which a ray of divine light shot out, shining directly on the head of the "Bird Master".
"ah!"
When the "bird master" was illuminated by the light of the oil lamp, he immediately screamed and waved his hands constantly, trying to block the divine light emitted by the oil lamp above his head.
However, no matter how hard he struggled, the divine light always followed him. In just a few breaths, the body of "Master Bird" began to fall apart, and the pressure of the Tongxuan realm that originally shocked everyone was no longer there.
Disappeared without a trace...
Li Xiran's eyes widened with an incredible expression on his face.
Seeing that this originally aloof "examiner" was actually killed by several Jindan realm monks, even someone as slow as her could react at this time.
This "bird master" is not an examiner at all!
In her surprised eyes, the white-bearded old man on the bird's back had been broken into pieces, and finally turned into a faint wisp of blue smoke under the illumination of the oil lamp in Yu Feihong's hand.
And as the "Bird Master" was shattered, the entire peach forest around everyone began to tremble strangely, and waves of space fluctuations swept in from all directions. Li Xiran only felt a blur in front of his eyes, and then the world was spinning, and he was not affected by it.
Floating under control.
This strange feeling did not last long, probably only a few breaths. The next moment, Li Xiran felt that he suddenly sank, and his whole body began to fall irresistibly.
When her feet were firmly planted, her soul returned to its original position, as if she had experienced a fugue, and it actually felt a little unreal.
Li Xiran hurriedly ran his exercises to stabilize his Taoist mind. After he calmed down, he looked around.
Liang Yan, Ji Lai, Yu Feihong and the two monks from the same sect were all nearby at this moment, but the originally lush and beautiful peach blossom forest no longer existed.
At this moment, the place where everyone is located is a dark valley, surrounded by tangled and weird black vines, as if a giant net covers everyone at the bottom of the valley, and only a very small amount of sunlight shines through the gaps in the black vines.
, it looks like it is in a huge cage.
"Fellow Daoist Liang, Fellow Daoist Ji, you...have seen it a long time ago?"
Li Xiran seemed a little embarrassed, with a faint blush on his face.
"Haha, the peach blossom forest is not the real entrance to the canyon, but a deeply hidden illusion. And the so-called 'examiner' is not a real monk, but an array spirit evolved from the illusion array."
Ji Lai opened his mouth and explained.
"Yes, 'Master Bird' is just an illusion. The aura of the Tongxuan Realm on his body is all evolved from the illusory array. It can only act as a threat and has no ability to fight at all. To break the illusory array, you only need to
If this 'Master Bird' is killed, the spirit of the formation will be shattered, and the formation will also dissipate." Liang Yan said slowly.
After listening to the explanations of the two people, Li Xiran finally understood. She looked at Yu Feihong and the two monks from Guiyi Sect not far away, and said with some hesitation: "Then for this assessment, before entering the canyon,
Those monks..."
"Fellow Taoist guessed it right. They have all been eliminated. This is the real entrance to the 'Fanghu Immortal Valley'."
The person who answered her was not Liang Yan and Ji Lai, but Yu Feihong, the "Golden Lantern Arhat" not far away.
With a faint smile on his face, he clasped his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name.
"Amitabha, the three donors are not ordinary people. I hope you will not embarrass the young monk during this assessment trip. We should not offend the river. What do you think?"
"Master is joking, as long as we enter the canyon, everyone will be either teammates or opponents, so how can we ensure that the water in the well does not interfere with the water in the river?" Liang Yan said calmly.
"That's it." Yu Feihong nodded and chuckled: "The young monk can only seek blessings for himself, hoping not to bump into several donors."
While these people were talking, a roar suddenly came from mid-air.
Li Xiran was stunned for a moment, and looked up, only to see a big white bird squeezing out of the gap in the black vines, and then landed in front of everyone.
This big white bird is exactly the one the "Master Bird" was riding on just now.
Everything in the peach forest just now has disappeared without a trace. Only this big white bird remains. Obviously it is the only thing that does not evolve from the phantom array, but actually exists.
The big bird had just settled down in front of everyone, and then spoke the words: "The illusion formation has been broken, and everyone present has been qualified for the exam. There is a restricted air restriction here, and it is impossible to control the escape light. Please sit on the back of the bird.
, let me take you into the examination room."
While speaking, it also bent down and lowered its head, as if inviting everyone to sit on the bird's back.
This time, Liang Yan, Yu Feihong and others did not hesitate at all, took a step directly and sat on the bird's back.
As for Li Xiran, she was already somewhat dependent on Liang Yan. Seeing that he had no doubts, she felt relieved and sat on the bird's back as well.
After everyone got up, the big white bird spread its wings and flew high in the black vine forest at an extremely fast speed. In just a few ups and downs, it had already rushed into the entrance of the canyon.
Liang Yan sat on the back of the bird and looked around secretly. He saw that the black vines here were intertwined. Although they looked lifeless on the outside, they actually contained extremely violent and cruel spiritual power inside.
If you get too close, I am afraid that these black vines will burst out and hurt people immediately. Some monks with low cultivation level may be strangled by these black vines and eventually become the nourishment of this strange vine.
"Fanghu Immortal Valley... is indeed not a paradise. It looks like a brutal Shura field..." Liang Yan made a comment in his heart.
At this time, the speed of the big white bird has increased to the extreme. When this bird flies with all its strength, its speed is actually comparable to the flight of a late-stage Jindan monk.
After just half a stick of incense, the big white bird had already carried the two teams of Liang Yan and Yu Feihong through the lifeless black vine forest and arrived at an open sandy land.
The sand was gray-black in color and looked very barren. There were even a few white bones of spiritual beasts in the distance, and in the middle of the sand, dozens of monks were already standing.
Liang Yan took a cursory glance at the bird's back and saw several familiar faces among them.
Cang Yueming, Mo Haoran, Huangfu Qi, Mu Hanxue, the three sons of the Tong family, and the three sons of the Hao family were all among them, but Hao Dawei was missing.
Liang Yan thought to himself and realized that it must have been at the top of Luoying Mountain that Li Xiaosong was too heavy-handed. The colorful fire lotus hurt this person's foundation, causing him to be unable to participate in the assessment.
As expected, Hao Lianyun and Hao Tiande both glared at Liang Yan when they saw Liang Yan. Both of them obviously had a grudge against him. If they weren't afraid of the power of his "spiritual beast" and there were many monks here, they would have swarmed him and took it.
He took revenge.
The Hao family has lost Hao Dawei, and now they are teamed up with Tong Jiao, a female nun from the Tong family.
The woman's eyes swept across the bird's back, and when she saw Ji coming, her eyelids couldn't help but twitch, and there was a faint hint of anger.
During the battle on the top of Luying Mountain, Ji Lai's abilities were obviously inferior to her own, but she was still invincible with a powerful magic weapon. It could be said that she was completely embarrassed.
Now that her enemies met, Tong Jiao was naturally extremely jealous, and secretly made up her mind to regain her face with this person when the assessment began.
Liang Yan didn't pay attention to these people at all. His eyes swept through the crowd and finally landed on a strange monk with the head of a human and the body of a bird.
This man is extremely tall, with extremely long legs. He clearly has the head of an ordinary person, but his body is that of a bird!
He has no hands, only a pair of wings, which are held leisurely behind his back, looking like ordinary hands.
"Middle stage of Tongxuan!"
Liang Yan's eyes narrowed slightly. He had just used the Hun Gong to explore this person's base, but found that the other person was unfathomable and seemed to be a bit more powerful than the True Lord Sanhua he met on the top of Luoying Mountain that day.
Just when he was secretly spying on this person, the big white bird carrying them had already landed on the ground. With a soft "bang!", the big bird turned into a white feather in full view of everyone.
The white feather floated gently in the air for a while, and the next moment it flew towards the monk with a human head and a bird body, and finally stabbed directly into his body.
"It seems that this is the real examiner." Yu Feihong said with a smile.
"Yes, the pressure of the Tongxuan realm that the formation spirit exuded before probably came from a feather on this person's body." Liang Yan nodded.
When they saw the real examiner at this time, neither team dared to show off. After each bowed to the person, they walked into the crowd of candidates and waited quietly.
The monk with the head of a human and the body of a bird waited on the spot for half a stick of incense. He saw that the vine forest was quiet and there was no movement at all. It was obvious that no one would appear again.
"It seems that these are the candidates who have qualified for the exam this year..."
The monk with the head of a human and the body of a bird murmured to himself, then turned his head and looked at everyone present.
"Seventy-six people! Yes, more than half of the candidates have qualified for the exam this time. It is indeed much more than in previous years..."
The monk with the head of a human and the body of a bird had no expression on his face, and his eyes swept through the crowd one by one, and then he slowly said: "I am the examiner of your first round of assessment, the 'True Lord of the Vulture' of Yunjin Palace in Wushuang City. For this assessment,
The rules are..."
In the middle of his words, he suddenly shut up, then frowned slightly and turned to look in the direction of Tengmulin.
I saw that the black vines there seemed to be going crazy, suddenly emitting an extremely ferocious and violent aura, and countless vines twisted and lengthened, like the tentacles of evil spirits, dancing crazily in mid-air.
"what happened?"
Many monks present had doubts in their hearts, but before they could take a closer look, they heard the sound of swords ringing in the forest, and then a sword energy shot out through the forest, cutting off all the black vines blocking the way!
A huge gap was opened in the gloomy black vine forest by this sword energy, and then a middle-aged monk with a thin face and gray-white robes ran out of it, leaping up and down on the sand. The next moment
He arrived in front of everyone.
"Situ Kuangsheng!"
Many monks present recognized this person's identity, and even Liang Yan was no stranger to him. He had met this person once on Luoying Island.
True Lord Lingjiu looked at him, frowned slightly, and suddenly asked: "Situ Kuangsheng, why are you alone, and where are your two teammates?"
"Senior, I have never had any teammates. My teammates are the swords in my hands!" Situ Kuangsheng said calmly with his hands behind his back.
As soon as he said this, all the monks present were in an uproar.
You must know that those who came here today are all top disciples from various sects within the territory of Wushuang City. No one is weak in martial arts and magical powers, nor will they consider themselves inferior to others.
Although this Situ Kuangsheng looks unremarkable on the outside, his words are extremely arrogant. He actually treats the many masters present as if they are nothing and wants to pass the test with his own strength!
"Humph, Situ Kuangsheng, you didn't call me this name in vain." Zhenjun Lingjiu snorted, still expressionless, and then asked: "Why are you here so late? Where is my guiding feather?
Why didn't you come back?"
"You mean the mount of 'Master Bird'?" Situ Kuangsheng recalled it and said calmly: "The old man was disrespectful to me. He and the bird were killed by my sword. I didn't get anything in the vine forest.
Guide, so it took me a little longer to find it.”
"you!"
Lord Lingjiu's face changed slightly when he heard that. He had picked the feathers from himself, and there was one in every Peach Forest Illusion Array.
As the spirits of the phantom formation, these feathers serve to inspect the candidates who have come to take the examination for him, and to guide the candidates who have passed the examination and bring them to the real examination room.
Now that all the feathers have been recovered, only the one born by Situ Kuang was chopped off by him with a sword!
The face of the True Lord Lingjiu changed uncertainly. After staring at Situ Kuangsheng for a long time, he nodded and said: "You are not ordinary, so that's it! I won't argue with you for the time being, but if you dare to be disrespectful to the examiner again,
Any disrespectful behavior, I will expel you from the examination room immediately!"
"I understand." Situ Kuangsheng responded expressionlessly.
"snort!"
Lord Lingjiu snorted coldly, then stopped looking at him, turned to the other candidates present and said: "There is only one rule for this assessment, and that is to follow me and arrive at the examination room for the second round of assessment!"
"What?"
As soon as True Lord Lingjiu said this, most of the monks present were confused. Many people even thought that they heard wrongly. They had imagined various possibilities for this first round of assessment before, but they never expected that the assessment rules would be like this.
Simple, just "Follow the examiner!"
But True Lord Lingjiu didn't give them any time to think about it. At this moment, he turned around, took just one step forward with his slender legs, and he was already a hundred feet away...
