So when Ye Yan and his companions arrived at the other side and returned from the other side, everyone had no choice but to go on. For a whole day, everyone went from fear and panic to overcoming and becoming proficient, and slowly completed something they had never thought they could accomplish before.

It’s not that there haven’t been people who have dropped dead in mid-air because they were too scared. The feeling of being dangling in the air made people turn pale and scream.

However, faced with such a situation, Xia Junhuang did not send anyone to rescue them. Instead, he used a cold voice to guide them step by step to grab the ropes with their own strength, climb up along the ropes, and finally cling to the ropes with their limbs to complete the task.

Because if they don't listen to General Ji, they will just be dangling in the air, either hanging in the air forever or facing the danger of the rope breaking. So in order to survive, they can only protect themselves and continue to move forward based on their survival instinct in panic and fear.

Until the end, those who were suspended in the air because of mistakes all experienced the thrills of flying in the air again and again. When they returned to the cliff one by one, they were all dazed and pale. But after resting, Ji Junyue urged them to continue training until they finally stopped making mistakes and finally stopped being so timid and panicked...

Time passed slowly, and seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

During these seven days, Ji Junyue did not bring everyone back to the military camp. Instead, he set up tents at the entrance of the grove and lived there. Every day, he trained the 20,000 new recruits in rope climbing, weighted cross-country running, and archery.

Not only that, everyone would occasionally follow Ji Junyue into the forest behind the grove to rescue the new recruits who sent out distress signals. In seven days, there were thousands of people who sent out distress signals.

After these people came out, Ji Junyue didn't say anything. He just asked someone to treat their injuries and let them train with everyone after they recovered.

After the seven-day deadline was up, the new recruits who had survived in the mountains for seven days came out of the woods one after another. They looked so disheveled that they almost looked like beggars. Most of them even had many wounds on their bodies.

But despite this, no one among the more than 20,000 people waiting outside the woods laughed at them, because these people were worthy of admiration.

They persisted in surviving in the wild for seven days, even though they suffered hardships and injuries, even though it was dangerous and they couldn't even sleep well, but they persisted and used their willpower to tell everyone that they are strong and can overcome and solve any trouble and danger.

It was not until the last person came out of the woods that Ji Junyue looked at everyone with admiration: "You are all strong, and the elite of the northwest. Those who can persevere today will have a longer way to go in the future. You will also stand higher and farther than others, and even receive the admiration and awe of the world!"

This praise was undoubtedly the highest, and it should have given people a sense of fantasy, but when everyone looked at the extremely beautiful young man in front of them, the proud and sharp look in his eyebrows, and the kind of domineering and kingly spirit that emanated from his body, which was subtle but made people want to worship him, they could not think of doubting it.

Not only did they not even have any doubts, their blood gradually began to boil, their minds were filled with excitement and longing, because they believed in Ji Yue, believed that this young general who asked them to follow never boasted, and everything he said was true.

After that, the second group of people went in, and those who came out of the first group continued the training that the second group had done. Seven more days passed like this, and in the blink of an eye, there was only one day left before the next assessment.

But when the third test came, everyone was waiting for Ji Junyue to tell them the content of the test, but what Ji Junyue said stunned everyone.

"Everyone on the battlefield and the training ground will be tested today, but you don't."

What does this mean?

Everyone was caught off guard by Ji Junyue's words. What did they mean by that they didn't need to take the assessment?

Even Liang Yu and others looked at Ji Junyue inexplicably. Not only a few people, but also Ye Yan and other personal guards had never heard any news that there would be no assessment before.

Ji Junyue looked at the confused expressions of the crowd and spoke again calmly before they could start to comment.

"The reason why there is no need for an assessment is because the new training that follows is extremely dangerous and must be kept absolutely confidential. Therefore, I will not assess you, nor will I force you. It is up to you to choose whether to continue."

Just when everyone was about to say that they must continue, Ji Junyue waved her hand and said, "Don't tell me that you must continue. First listen to the price you will have to pay if you continue, and then tell me your answer."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone became curious, but at the same time, some smart people unconsciously became serious.

Because they knew that the matter that General Ji said so carefully must not be simple, and this time, perhaps they all had to make a decision that could change their lives...

Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Ji Junyue continued, "Those who want to continue to participate in the next special training must keep the content of the training secret. You cannot reveal it to anyone except yourself, including your family. In addition, you must be mentally prepared, because once you participate, you cannot quit for the next twenty years, except for death."

"Not only that, you will face death at any time and anywhere. This death may not only be brought to you by the enemy, but also by the content of the training or your companions. You must be prepared for this, because once you participate, you will face the danger of death at any time and anywhere. It is no longer just to scare you before."

Seeing everyone's different expressions, Ji Junyue seemed to have thought of something, and showed a strange and dangerous smile: "Of course, there is one more important point. Once you choose to participate in the next training, those who fail will not be able to start over like in the previous training. Instead, you will pay with your life."

Everyone's eyes widened unconsciously. What does this mean? !

Does it mean that those who fail to complete the mission will be killed? ...

For a moment, everyone was stunned and silent, because they had no idea how to react. This situation was completely beyond their expectations and imagination. Suddenly, they felt like they had encountered a gang...

Liang Yu, Ruan Mo, Ye Yan and others also looked at Ji Yue thoughtfully. They always felt that there was a lot of meaning behind Ji Yue's words. This didn't seem like training an army, but rather like training one's own... private army...

What on earth does Ji Yue want to do? ...

"If you just want to become a group of elite soldiers on the battlefield, then your training is basically over. Now, those who are willing to take the risk should stand out individually."

Ji Junyue did not explain the purpose of saying this. She would not train a group of soldiers who did not belong to her in vain. She would give the selected people a name that would shock the nine netherworlds. This group of people would not even be considered the elite of the ancient army, but would become the elite of the ultra-modern army.

She will make everyone in this team master thermal weapons so as to unify the Jiuyou Continent!

Liang Yu was the first to stand up. He was born into a military family and had heard his grandfather talk about many things in the military camp since he was a child. Although their Liang family had declined, their passion and backbone were still there. He was not afraid of death, and if he was afraid of death, he would not join the army.

He had already decided to follow Ji Yue and had chosen him. Now, no matter what Ji Yue's purpose was, he would never turn back, even if it meant... provoking the imperial power and becoming an enemy of the three parties!

Ruan Mo was the second one to stand up. He had no relatives to begin with, and his only belief in life was revenge. With his knowledge and understanding of Ji Yue over the past six months, even if he died, as long as he entrusted his revenge to Ji Yue before he died, Ji Yue would definitely help him fulfill his wish, so it didn't matter even if he died.

What's more, Ji Yue is the person whose future is the most unpredictable among all the people he has met so far. It seems that anything can happen to this person. No one is more suitable for him to follow than Ji Yue.

He was not afraid of Ji Yue challenging the imperial power, nor was he afraid of Ji Yue rebelling. If Ji Yue really did that, he would only be happy.

Because the greater Ji Yue's power and status, the sooner he can avenge himself! ...

Xingchu was the third one to stand up. He never thought too much before doing anything. He now had only one idea, that no matter what Ji Yue wanted to do, he would participate and follow. He didn't want to be left out!

Ye Yan and a group of other personal guards also stood up. They were all General Ji's personal guards and had no reason to retreat. Their duty was to protect General Ji's safety. From the day they agreed to become General Ji's personal guards, they were ready to obey General Ji's orders and face life and death.

Seeing Liang Yu and his group standing up, the people around them were a little surprised, but General Ji's words were still echoing in their ears, reminding them that this was not a joke and they would not be allowed to start over or regret, so they had to be serious.

After everyone was silent for a moment, another person came out. This person was Weng Yang. His life was saved by Ji Yue. From that moment on, he decided to live for General Ji. No matter what General Ji asked him to do, even if it cost him his life, he naturally had no reason to retreat now.

Then more people came out, one, two, six, ten...

Until no one took any action at last, Ji Junyue turned his attention to the 20,000 people who were lined up separately, and walked towards them. When he reached the front of the crowd, he did not stop, but walked slowly among the rows of teams.

Every time he walked through a row of people, he would point out the names of one or two people and ask them to return to their original group. Although everyone didn't know what Ji Yue meant, they were shocked because he clearly called out each person's name.

After walking through the last row of people, Ji Junyue came to the front of the crowd and stood still again.

"For those of you who I just named, let's stop here. You are not suitable for that kind of life and death training right now."

As soon as these words came out, everyone finally understood, and those who were named lowered their heads with red faces. They knew why they were kicked out, because they had asked for help during the previous wilderness survival training...

In the end, there were only about 12,000 people left. Ji Junyue asked Shu Wei to stay and continue training with the remaining 20,000 people. This time the training was no longer just simple survival in the wild, but also included group combat, ambushes and fighting.

After informing Shu Wei of the content of the training, Ji Junyue led the more than 10,000 people out of the grove and went to an extremely secluded place that had been surveyed early in the morning.

It is a mountain canyon located 20 kilometers away. It is not only secluded, but also uninhabited within a five-kilometer radius. In fact, because it is undeveloped and sparsely populated, few people on the road will pass by here.

Because the mountain canyon here is not the route to the nearby city and basically no one comes here, Ji Junyue designated it as a temporary secret training base.

The day before leaving, Ji Junyue had already returned to the military camp and had brief instructions with Wei Yuan. The people responsible for training on the battlefield and the parade ground had also been arranged. Feng Ye was also left there to guard so that she could be notified in time in case of any emergencies.

In the following month, no one knew what Ji Yue and the twelve thousand men did, nor did anyone know where they were exactly, because they had concealed their whereabouts from the beginning.

Not only did the people at the northwestern border not know where Ji Yue had taken those people, even the several forces that had been paying close attention to developments in the northwest became concerned and puzzled by the disappearance of Ji Yue and his group.

Chu State.

In Guining Palace, when Chu Yunyue heard Jinliang's report, she became more suspicious.

"Master, those new recruits from the northwest have transformed into an army three times stronger than the regular army in just one and a half months under Miss Ji's command. If this continues, if other parties obtain Miss Ji's training methods, I'm afraid it will have an impact on the border of Chu..."

Jin Liang said worriedly, if Ji Junyue's training methods are really as terrible as they have been discovered, and people in other border areas of Qin also imitate her training methods, then the strength of Qin's army will definitely increase greatly, which is not a good phenomenon for all countries.

Chu Yunyue lowered his eyes and seemed to be thinking about something, but he didn't say anything. He was wondering what Ji Junyue would do to those 10,000 people. Such secret training, no one knew where they were or what they did. He always felt that Ji Junyue's actions were so secretive, and what he did must be extraordinary...

Seeing that his master didn't say anything, Jin Liang opened his mouth, but ultimately chose to remain silent.

After a moment, Chu Yunyue looked up at Jin Liang and said, "Since she has covered her whereabouts, there is no need to investigate further. Just keep an eye on the Northwest Military Camp."

"master……"

Chu Yunyue glanced at Jin Liang calmly, and instantly made him shut up: "Your worry is not unreasonable, but do you have a good way to prevent this from happening?"

Those cold words made Jin Liang speechless. The best way to prevent it was naturally to kill the instigator, but he couldn't say such words, not because of his master's feelings for Ji Junyue, but because of Ji Junyue's terrible power.

He is still frightened by what happened in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion more than half a month ago. The destructive power was so powerful that even the mysterious five forces were in her hands. Such a person, as long as she wanted, was enough to destroy the State of Chu.

He was careless in a moment of haste...

"It is my fault that I did not consider it carefully. Please punish me, master!" Jin Liang knelt down and said.

"Okay, let's go out and do our work."

Chu Yunyue said this coldly and continued to review the memorials. She stopped what she was doing only after Jin Liang left. She unconsciously touched the blue stone in her arms and murmured to herself.

"What do you want to do?"

…

At the same time, the news about Ji Yue and his men disappearing also spread to Yan State and the Xixian tribe.

In a luxurious mansion, a man in a black and red brocade robe was teasing a little boy imprisoned in a cage in front of him with great interest. A black-clad shadow guard beside the man was reporting something quickly.

Only after the black-clad shadow guard finished his report did the man slowly raise his head. His beautiful eyes were slightly smiling, but deep within that smile was an endless amount of indifference and cruelty.

"Disappeared?" The man chuckled. Although he didn't move much, he gave people an extremely elegant and noble feeling. It was an aura of control over the world that emanated from his inside out. "It's getting more and more interesting."

The man looked at the naked boy in the cage and forced out an elegant smile like a green lotus, but against the backdrop of the dark night and the cage, he gave people an inexplicably evil and cold feeling.

"Since it has disappeared, there is no need to worry about it. It will reappear sooner or later. Whether it is a helper of Qin or a knife hanging over the heads of the three parties, it will be revealed when the situation is resolved. Now let's arrange things for five days. It's time to change the ruler of Yan."

"Yes!" The shadow guard responded, and then as if he had thought of something, he said, "There is one more thing, Master. Li Xin found Yin Feng and Wei Luo, and they had a child."

"Oh?" The man stroked his pink lips gracefully, "She gave birth to a child? It looks like she's living a very comfortable life. Bring them back. After all, we are master and servant. If you have a child, you should help raise it."

That emotionless smile was vague and light, giving people a lotus-like detachment, but also left a hazy and dangerous feeling...
