When the moon is dark and the wind is strong, it is the perfect time for assassination.

Linghu Luoxi immediately threw Chi An onto the magic plate. The outside sect leaders had different opinions, and the audience cheered enthusiastically.

Shangguan Yi and the other person held the Demon King together. When the thunder struck, the Demon King and Shangguan Yi were struck together, and sparks and lightning flew all the way.

When the situation was finally resolved, the surroundings were filled with charred monsters. Everyone collapsed on the ground. As Linghu Luoxi sat down to rest, she felt a strong feeling in her heart.

Linghu Luoxi took a look at the charred beast king, sat up, pulled out a black blade from the mustard bag, and then dissected the beast king with a single cut. Shangguan Yi felt uncomfortable the moment he saw this scene.

"Eh~ I vomited! Ugh~"

Linghu Luoxi said coldly and arrogantly, "Get lost! Go somewhere else if you want to vomit! You're such a coward."

Shangguan Yi rolled his eyes as he looked at Linghu Luoxi's slightly trembling body and hands. However, his eyes lit up instantly after he saw the demon beast's inner core. "I don't care! Half for each of us! Such a beautiful little ball, perfect as a souvenir!"

“…”

Linghu Luoxi didn't say anything. She tremblingly dug out the inner elixir and casually threw it to Shangguan Yi. Shangguan Yi took it with a smile and immediately put the inner elixir away.

Linghu Luoxi didn't want the inner elixir, but was mainly attracted by the bright red folding fan inlaid with gold inside, which was considered half and half for each of them.

Si Yanqing hesitated for a few seconds, mustered up the courage to step forward, and asked quietly, "Um... can you give us the animal bones?"

Linghu Luoxi glanced at Si Yanqing and said, "Go get what you want!"

With that, the disciples surrounded the demon beast, seeking what they desired. The disciples on the magic disk who had achieved breakthroughs gradually awoke, their wounds from the lightning transforming into spiritual energy, nourishing their bodies. Linghu Luoxi and Shangguan Yi also reached the tenth level of Qi Refining.

Xie Cihuai, the chief disciple of Feixue Sect, held his waist and frowned, "Hiss~ Why does my waist hurt so much?"

"My head hurts too!"

“I didn’t have this symptom when I had the breakthrough before.”

Except for Chi An, everyone else felt pain in their waist and legs. Shangguan Yi and the other two glanced away guiltily.

Linghu Luoxi quietly came to Chi An and asked, "Who do you hate? I'll help you eliminate him!"

Chi An pointed at Chu Yinheng and others expressionlessly, and then everyone heard a series of unexpected noises.

The screen displayed: "Chu Yinheng eliminated! Yi Xiaoxiao eliminated! Song Ziye eliminated! Xie Cihuai eliminated! Jiang Yeqing eliminated! Liu Zhiyu eliminated!"

Before those eliminated disciples could react, they were instantly teleported to the elimination seat. By the time the time came, the other disciples had also left the secret realm.

"First place: Hanqing Sect; second place: Liyue Sect; third place: Tongjian Sect; fourth place: Feixue Sect; fifth place: Qiushui Sect! The top ten disciples, please follow me to the sword cave to choose swords!" After saying that, Zihe was about to lead them to the sword cave.

When Chi An and the other two passed the elimination table, Linghu Luoxi started to show off again, "Hey, hey, hey~ Aren't these the two top performers? Why are they at the elimination table?"

“…”

Chi An and the other man on the side couldn't help laughing, while the people in the elimination seats were filled with dark energy and had the urge to chop Linghu Luoxi to death with a knife.

"I just like to see how you can't stand me but can't get rid of me~" Linghu Luoxi shrugged proudly.

Yi Xiaoxiao suddenly stepped forward and criticized. "Senior Sister Luo, why did you crush Senior Brother Xie's jade token as well? And everyone else's? It's just a demon beast, isn't it? Are you so stingy, Senior Sister?"

Shangguan Yi couldn't bear it any longer and gave another flying kick, "Oops! Sorry, I fell again~ But you are so shameless, you hurt my foot!"

“…”

Linghu Luoxi chuckled condescendingly and said, "What's wrong with me crushing it? At worst, I can just pay you back!" She tossed a high-grade cultivation pill to Xie Cihuai and said, "Do you like this?"

Xie Cihuai looked down at the pill in his hand, thought for a moment, and finally decided to accept the pill. When the others saw this, they were angry but dared not say anything.

"Master Luo..."

"Stop! Shut your mouth, you're like a machine gun, all you know is da da da da! All you keep calling is senior brother or senior sister! You're thousands of years old, and you're still pretending to be a young girl!" Shangguan Yi interrupted Yi Xiaoxiao directly.

"Senior Brother Yi, you actually helped outsiders!" Yi Xiaoxiao's face turned pale and blue.

"Haven't you heard the saying 'When three people walk together, there must be one who can teach you'?"

"Isn't it 'There must be a teacher for me'?" Chi An corrected.

"Ahem! Everyone! Do you still want to choose a sword?" Seeing that the situation was not right, Zihe immediately stepped forward to stop it and changed the subject.

"select!"

Everyone entered the Cave of Ten Thousand Swords. There were swords everywhere, inserted in the cracks of the rocks. There were also many branches. Several people began to look for their own swords.

Chi An walked towards a narrower road on the side. After walking for a distance, he found a snow-white sword. The sword was inserted in a crack in the middle of a stone. The surrounding temperature was relatively low, and Chi An took a fancy to it at first sight.

Chi An slowly approached the sword, the temperature dropping as he got closer. He gripped the hilt tightly with both hands, a chill piercing his bones assailed his entire body. He used his spiritual power to pull it free. Then, with a drop of blood, he sealed a pact with the Canbing Sword.

Shangguan Yi already had his natal sword, but he still wanted to come in and explore. However, while strolling, he accidentally kicked the Lieyun Sword, tripped, and fell to the ground, scraping his skin. Blood dripped onto the sword, and he accidentally formed a bond with it.

Shangguan Yi's Chiyun Sword started crying and making a fuss after seeing this. Shangguan Yi was a little overwhelmed after seeing this and hurriedly comforted her, "Don't cry! This is an accident! It's true!"

Linghu Luoxi looked left and right, and suddenly caught sight of something. He paused and saw a light blue sword with patterns on the blade stuck in the stone wall. Linghu Luoxi caught his eye at first sight.

"This is a good one, perfect for escaping!"

"When can you be serious?"

"Why did you see me passing by?"

“…”

Chi An was instantly speechless by Linghu Luoxi, and Linghu Luoxi smiled at Chi An.

When everyone had made their choice, they came out and Linghu Luoxi slid to the elimination seat.

Everyone stared at her with suspicious and alert eyes, "What are you doing?"

Linghu Luoxi distributed some of the swords he brought out from the Cave of Ten Thousand Swords to them.

Jiang Yeqing and the others stared at the swords in their hands, stunned for a moment, and just as they felt a hint of apology, the next second, only hatred filled their hearts.

"300 Spiritual Stones!"

"Ah! Why don't you go and grab it!"

"I like to take advantage of others, but I won't snatch them away!"

"...Can you be any more shameless!"

"Of course!" Linghu Luoxi smiled playfully at them and winked.

“…”

Everyone paid with a melancholy mood. As soon as Linghu Luoxi received the spirit stones, they were divided up within seconds.

"This secret realm trial is over!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone dispersed, leaving Zihe alone in the wind.

A breeze blew in the night, bringing a hint of coolness, and dark clouds blocked the bright moonlight.

Shangguan Yi couldn't sleep after tossing and turning in bed, so he went out to wander around. A man in black was climbing the eaves of a house. Shangguan Yi walked under a tree, and suddenly, an assassin jumped down from the tree.

"Hand over the Shangguan heirloom, and I'll spare your life!"

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately attracted the attention of the young man who was about to leave on the roof. The man stopped and hid in the dark to observe with interest.

Shangguan Yi looked at the person who suddenly jumped out and was confused, "Ah? How come I don't know what the heirloom looks like and where it is?" Shangguan Yi was full of question marks.

The assassin thought Shangguan Yi was teasing him, "Then don't blame me." Then he quickly drew his sword and rushed towards Shangguan Yi.

"No! I really don't know!"

Shangguan Yi turned around and tried to escape, but he could not see the road clearly because the moonlight had long been obscured by the clouds, and he also tripped over a stone. The assassin immediately seized the opportunity and rushed forward.

"ah--"

Shangguan Yi felt that the pain he had imagined did not come. He secretly opened one eye and found that he was being held by someone around the waist. The assassin had already been subdued by that person in one move. The assassin realized that the other person was stronger than himself. When he found the token exposed on his waist, his heart trembled. He uttered some harsh words and turned around and ran away.

The faint moonlight cast a hazy light on the two of them. The young man mistakenly mistook Shangguan Yi for a woman.

The young man hugged Shangguan Yi's waist and said gently, "Miss, are you okay?"

"Uh... handsome guy who is saving the beauty, please look carefully! I am a man!" Shangguan Yi said with a polite smile.

"I'm sorry! I'm just in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm, and my strength is not strong!" The young man let go of his hand and said with a smile.

"Haha! Man, you've successfully piqued this young master's interest! Since you're so 'weak', just hang out with me from now on!" He thought to himself, "It's just right to kidnap you to be this young master's bodyguard!"

The young man laughed and thought: Haha, the abacus has fallen on my face, but it is more convenient this way.

"Thank you very much, Master!"

"Well, from now on you will be my personal servant!"

"Yes! Master!" The young man looked at Shangguan Yi and said with a forced smile.

"Ah~ It's getting late! It's time to go back to bed! Come back with me!" Shangguan Yi suddenly felt sleepy.

After saying that, without waiting for the man's consent, Shangguan Yi went back to his room to sleep. The man was almost laughing with anger, but he followed him honestly.

Linghu Luoxi was just about to go to bed when there was a knock on the door. She opened it and looked out.

"The Sect Master came to visit me late at night. Why did he ask me to return the money to them?"

Fan You shook his head. "It's like this. There's a relative in the Qiushui Sect who said his dragon ball was stolen, and he can't find it, so he wants help!"

"Then you can find someone else!"

“There’s a reward!”

Linghu Luoxi's expression changed when he heard this: "Okay! I'll take it! So what are the characteristics of the thief?"

Fan You stroked his beard, thought for a moment, and said, "Yes! He seems to be wearing red clothes, with extraordinary skills, and he seems to have a token!" Then he took out a piece of paper and handed it to Linghu Luoxi, "This is it! So you can go check it out tomorrow morning! Do you have any questions?"

"have!"

"What's the problem?"

"Normally, this kind of mission wouldn't be given to me because I'm a newbie! But you gave it to me! So why?"
