Without any hesitation, Liang Yan opened the golden box in front of everyone, and saw a piece of jade the size of a thumb lying inside, with colorful brilliance flowing on it. It looked exquisite, translucent, and very luxurious.
"Is this a token of clearance?"
Liang Yan took out the jade stone and played with it for a while. He found that although there was plenty of spiritual energy in it, there was nothing special about it, as if it was just an ordinary spiritual stone.
At this moment, there was a prisoner with a high level of cultivation present. He couldn't investigate too much, so he could only put the jade stone into his sleeve first.
"Thank you, senior!" Liang Yan bowed his hands very politely and said, "It's us who disturbed senior today. Now that the matter is over, the juniors can take their leave."
He was afraid that this person had any other demands. After all, Ji Lai secretly delivered medicine to the prisoner under the nose of Wushuang City. As a teammate of the same team, he had already gotten into trouble.
It was impossible to betray the plan. Liang Yan couldn't do such a thing yet, but he didn't want to stay here too long, lest he be involved in this matter too much. He just wanted to leave here as soon as possible.
"Hehe. Go ahead. I've had enough fun today. I wish you three can get what you want in Wushuang City."
The long-haired man still lowered his head and could not see his face clearly, but his deep voice echoed in the cave.
Liang Yan, Li Xiran, and Ji Lai, after hearing the second half of his words, their expressions changed slightly and their eyes flashed. At this moment, they all seemed to have been read through their thoughts.
But after the long-haired man finished speaking, he stopped talking, and the entire cave fell into silence again.
When the three of them saw this, they didn't say anything. They each looked at each other, turned around at the same time, and walked out of the cave along the passage they entered.
After half a stick of incense, Liang Yan and others left the cave and returned to the valley.
At this time, many monks had come out of the cave. Those who were strong, such as Situ Kuangsheng, Cang Yueming, Mu Hanxue, etc., had obviously been waiting for a long time, and most of them had a look of impatience on their faces.
Thinking about it, the long-haired man they met in the cave was probably the most powerful and unpredictable among the thirty prisoners here. The assessment of other monks should be much easier than them.
When I chose the cave before, there were many with very weak auras. Maybe the peak period of the prisoners in the cave was only in the early stage of Tongxuan Realm. Now that they have been chained up, they are naturally no match for these geniuses of the Golden Core Realm.
.
There is no fairness in this matter. By observing the aura and keenly judging the strength of the opponent, I am afraid it is also one of the test goals of this round of assessment.
At this moment, almost everyone in the field was paying attention to the top monks such as Situ Kuangsheng, Cang Yueming, and Mu Hanxue. They were obviously secretly spying on each other, trying to find flaws in these people.
Increase your chances of winning in future assessments.
Liang Yan and others came out last, and other candidates didn't pay much attention to them. Occasionally, a few candidates glanced at them with a look of disdain in their eyes.
Only Yue Zhengyang's eyes flashed with a strange color. He looked back and forth at Liang Yan and the others, seeming to be a little curious. However, he did not ask, but nodded slightly to Liang Yan and the others, indicating that they should return to the crowd.
.
"Fellow Daoist Liang, Fellow Daoist Ji, Cang is relieved to see that you have successfully passed the examination. Once you join Wushuang City, we will all be colleagues, and you can move around more in the future."
Among the crowd, Cang Yueming saw them at a glance. At this time, he walked forward and smiled at several people.
"Fellow Daoist Cang is laughing. We were lucky enough to pass the previous assessment. There are still two more rounds waiting for us. It's too early to say that we will join Wushuang City now." Ji Lai smiled and waved his hand.
"That's wrong!"
Before Cang Yueming answered, a gentle voice sounded next to him, and Yu Feihong strolled over, clasped his hands together, and said with a smile: "You have a master like Daoyou Liang in your team, why worry about failing the Wushuang City assessment?"
As soon as he said this, Liang Yan, Ji Lai and Li Xiran's expressions changed slightly, especially Liang Yan, who looked at the great monk warily, feeling very puzzled.
His strength was only based on tricks in the entire Wushuang City. Li Xiran could vaguely guess that even Fang Liren and Buwen Jushi didn't quite understand why this great monk, whom he had never met before, had been looking at him differently since he entered the examination room.
Are you always looking for opportunities to talk to yourself?
"Fellow Daoist Yu was joking, I am just a monk in the middle stage of the Golden Core. How can I stand shoulder to shoulder with the major geniuses in Wushuang City? I participated in the assessment this time just to gain experience. I never thought I could pass it.
Four rounds of selection." Liang Yan laughed and said haha.
"Fellow Daoist Liang, you don't have to be humble." Cang Yueming said with a smile at this time: "On the top of Luoying Mountain that day, we were outnumbered and the enemy was outnumbered, but fellow Taoist Daoist was able to take action with righteousness. This courage and chivalry alone is enough to gain Cang's respect!"
Cang Yueming actually didn't take Feihong's words seriously. In his eyes, although Liang Yan was not weak, he was only at the level of monks from the Tong and Hao families. To say that he could lead the team through it all on his own
The assessment is really unrealistic.
It's just that in addition to people's cultivation level, he also values their character and character, so he praised Liang Yan without hesitation.
"Haha, fellow Taoist Liang is indeed too humble. I think you are destined to be my Buddha. After the examination is over, you might as well come to the temple where I am a guest and study Buddhism together?" Yu Feihong said with a smile.
Liang Yan didn't expect that he would make such an invitation. After thinking about it, he said: "Fellow Taoist, you may be disappointed. Liang, a layman, cannot have a fate with the Buddha. Moreover, he is still in the assessment of Wushuang City. This
Let’s discuss this matter later.”
"Right."
Yu Feihong smiled and nodded, then clasped his hands together, chanted the Buddha's name, and turned around to leave.
After he left, Cang Yueming looked at Liang Yan again and said in a solemn tone: "Fellow Daoist Liang, in the subsequent assessment, if our two teams meet and are in an opposing situation, Cang can guarantee that there will be no embarrassment."
Everyone!"
"Brother Cang is determined. We will not embarrass Brother Cang's team in the subsequent assessments. I wish you all the best and successfully pass this assessment." Liang Yan also responded with a smile.
In his eyes, Cang Yueming is a man who always repays kindness and has a chivalrous heart. He is indeed worthy of the title of "South China Sea Swordsman" and is worthy of his friendship. However, this person's character is a little pedantic, and he may be betrayed at critical moments.
bad thing.
Naturally, Cang Yueming didn't know what he thought of herself. He was originally from the Confucian school, he was upright and upright, and he had a wide range of friends. At this time, he regarded Liang Yan as his best friend.
The two chatted for a while, got to know each other better, and formed an alliance during the assessment. However, just when Cang Yueming was about to say goodbye, a voice sneered from not far away.
:
"Only the weak will form gangs. If you are really strong, why bother to work so hard? Just one person and one sword is enough!"
The voice was deep and deep, causing everyone to turn around and see a middle-aged man with a thin face and a sword on his back. He was standing with his hands behind his back, looking at no one else but Cang Yueming.
"Situ Kuangsheng?"
Cang Yueming frowned and said calmly: "What do you want to learn from coming here?"
The person who came was none other than Situ Kuangsheng. This person had never teamed up with any monks from beginning to end, but he was able to pass two levels in a row with his flying sword. His strength was obviously extraordinary.
"Humph, Cang Yueming, you disappoint me so much! Sword cultivators only cultivate one person and one sword. If you are involved in worldly affairs like you, you cannot understand the true heart of the sword." Situ Kuangsheng shook his head, with eyes in his eyes.
With an obvious look of disappointment.
Liang Yan looked sideways and found that the man's expression did not seem to be a disguise, and he couldn't help but feel a little interested.
"Haha, I don't need to worry about this matter, fellow Taoist Situ! Cang cultivates the sword of mortals. He is a good friend of three or five. He is free in the world, enjoys grudges and grudges, and specializes in injustice! Unlike some people, who has mastered sword cultivation.
You are a swordsman who doesn't even want to see his own family. After hundreds of years, he has become a lonely man!" Cang Yueming said sarcastically.
After hearing this, Situ Kuangsheng didn't show the slightest hint of anger. His face remained as calm as water. He just narrowed his eyes and said, "Okay, since you and I have different concepts of swordsmanship, there's nothing to fight about. We only need a sword fight, who can
You will know who is right and who is wrong.”
"Haha, since Fellow Daoist Situ sincerely invites you, Cang certainly has no reason to refuse. It's just that this is the examination room of Wushuang City. If you want to fight, we can choose another place after the examination is over." Cang
Yue Ming said calmly.
"Why choose another place? My trip to Wushuang City is not for any selection and assessment. I just want to meet heroes from all walks of life and try the sword in my hand!"
Situ Kuangsheng's eyes were fixed on Cang Yueming, and he continued: "But there is no one here who can take a liking to me. After thinking about it, you are the only one who is barely qualified to fight with me, so why not stay here?"
Decide the outcome!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the flying sword at his waist buzzed in the scabbard, and a cold sword intent emitted, causing the expressions of the people around him to change drastically.
Even Liang Yan was slightly startled and thought to himself: "Is this person a lunatic? This is the examination room in Wushuang City. In front of so many people, there is an examiner from the Tongxuan realm next to him.
You actually do it as soon as you say it, without any reason at all?"
Just as tensions were rising in the field, a majestic voice suddenly sounded:
"I don't care what grudges you have between you, but whoever dares to cause trouble in my examination room just doesn't take me, Yue Zhengyang, seriously. I cannot invite him to the Shura Palace to have a good talk."
The person who spoke was none other than Yue Zhengyang, the examiner in charge of the second round of testing!
When everyone present heard the words "Shura Palace", their eyes trembled slightly, and some even subconsciously took a few steps back to distance themselves from the examiner.
Situ Kuangsheng also narrowed his eyes, and the flying sword on his waist, which was originally restless, gradually became quiet at this time.
He looked at Cang Yueming, then at Yue Zhengyang who was not far away, his face changed several times, and finally he snorted coldly, turned around and returned to his seat.
The surrounding sword intent gradually dissipated, and everyone present sighed. These people originally had the mentality of just watching the excitement, not to mention that everyone present was a competitor. If Situ Kuangsheng and Cang Yue Ming really
If they start a fight and thus violate the exam rules, they can eliminate two powerful opponents at the same time.
It's a pity that the situation did not develop as they hoped. Yue Zhengyang, a burly monk with a Chinese character and a face, calmed the matter down with just one sentence. Even if he was as arrogant as Situ Kuangsheng, he would not dare to make a mistake in front of him.
.
In other words, I don’t dare to provoke Shura Palace!
Liang Yan also had a general understanding of this force in Wushuang City at this time. Although he had never been in contact with Shura Palace, it was not difficult to see from Ji Lai's few words and the reactions of everyone present that Shura Palace was in charge of criminal law and his methods must be
It's extremely cruel.
Thinking about it, Wushuang City governs an area. Although it has a good reputation, it cannot be as bright and bright as it appears. Some dirty work that is not on the table will probably be handled by Shura Palace.
Over time, the monks in this area have kept away from Shura Palace, and they have more or less a trace of fear in their hearts.
Yue Zhengyang waited until everyone calmed down, then slowly said: "This is the end of the second round of assessment. The teams that have not left the cave have been disqualified. As for you, put away the tokens in your hands, I will give them to you now.
Go to the examination room for the third round."
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and cast a few magic spells. Four rays of spiritual light flew out and submerged into the east, south, west, and north corners of the valley respectively. Then the earth began to shake.
Rumble!
Loud noises were heard one after another, and countless white lines appeared on the green grassland under everyone's feet, and a huge magic circle enveloped everyone inside.
The next moment, there was a flash of white light all around, and all the participating candidates disappeared.
Only Yue Zhengyang was left in the empty valley. He raised his head and looked at the cave on the cliff. Suddenly he jumped into the air and landed directly at the entrance of the fifth cave on the left.
"senior!"
At this time, Yue Zhengyang was uncharacteristically uncharacteristic. He did not have the slightest prestige of a warden. Instead, he bowed very respectfully, and then said: "Now that the matter is over, I would like to ask you, senior, to follow me back to Shura Palace."
"roll!"
An angry scolding came from the cave.
However, Yue Zhengyang was not angry at all. He neither urged nor left. He just stood there with his hands folded and waited quietly.
"Hmph, you are quite clever. You know that this 'Spiritual Lock' is of no use to me. I can stay if you want, and leave if you want!" The voice in the cave returned to calmness, and he didn't seem to be very angry.
"But senior won't leave." Yue Zhengyang chuckled.
The voice in the cave was silent for a long time, and then suddenly sighed:
