Just as Wang Zhaolong noticed this, a chilling aura swept over him.
The next moment, a figure flew above the crowd.
He was a man who looked to be around thirty years old, with sharp eyes that shone like a drawn sword!
Upon seeing this person, Wang Zhaolong's expression changed drastically.
Zhao Changlong and the others also showed expressions of shock.
Because this man was none other than Cao Zhengjian, the elusive Eighth Elder of the Shenmu Sect!
"Master, what brings you here?" She Manqing said with a smile as she looked at Cao Zhengjian in the air, and even waved playfully at him.
Cao Zhengjian's expression was very serious.
Cao Zhengjian ignored Zhao Changlong, Wang Zhaolong, and didn't even glance at the other inner disciples of the Shenmu Sect.
He simply looked at Ye Feng, as if Ye Feng was the only one among everyone present who could catch his eye.
“Elder Lin, Manqing is a disciple I took in from outside,” Cao Zhengjian said calmly.
"Okay, I understand."
The night breeze nodded slightly.
Without saying another word, Cao Zhengjian leaped into the air and disappeared into the void!
After Cao Zhengjian flew away, Wang Zhaolong, Zhao Changlong, and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Zhaolong wiped the sweat from his forehead, inwardly groaning.
If he had known that She Manqing's master was Cao Zhengjian, the eighth elder of the Shenmu Sect, he would never have deliberately made things difficult for her.
"Senior brother, did I pass?" She Manqing asked with a smile.
Wang Zhaolong dared not say no. He forced a fawning smile and nodded, saying, "You passed, you passed, of course you passed. And you don't need to call me senior brother. Once you enter our Shenmu Sect, I'll have to call you senior sister."
"I didn't expect you to be so sweet-talking. Don't worry, I'll protect you from now on," She Manqing said with a smile.
She Manqing then stepped down from the Heart-Questioning Formation and stood next to Xiong Shao Chen and Xiong Shao Gang Deng, who had already passed the third test.
There were three people waiting, but now there's only one spot left!
Zhao Changlong was both angry and anxious, and he quickly sent a telepathic message to Wang Zhaolong: "Junior Brother Wang, you must give this last spot to Bai Muqing no matter what!"
"Senior brother, you know how scared I was just now? I can only say I'll try my best to help you, but if it really doesn't work out, it's not my fault," Wang Zhaolong complained through telepathy.
"As long as you do your best, junior brother, I will be grateful to you no matter what the final result is," Zhao Changlong said through telepathy.
Then, Wang Zhaolong looked at Bai Muqing and the other two who were waiting and said, "Next..."
Bai Muqing immediately wanted to step forward, but Bai Muxue took the lead and stepped onto the Heart-Questioning Formation.
Bai Muqing was immediately annoyed and said stiffly, "Cousin, why are you in such a hurry? It's not like stepping into the Heart-Testing Array first will make you pass the test first. You might even be eliminated early!"
"That's none of your concern," Bai Muqing said calmly.
Zhao Changlong nodded to Bai Muqing and gave him a look.
Bai Muqing breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Zhao Changlong's hint, feeling much more at ease.
Immediately afterward, Zhao Changlong transmitted his thoughts to Wang Zhaolong: "Junior Brother Wang, get rid of this woman! Don't worry, she's not a disciple of any protector or elder of our Shenmu Sect. She's the daughter of the Bai family in Qingling City, and the Bai family has no connection with our Shenmu Sect! Getting rid of her won't cause any problems!"
“Okay, I understand,” Wang Zhaolong said telepathically.
Wang Zhaolong looked at Bai Muxue with a serious expression and asked, "Are you Bai Muqing, the daughter of the Bai family?"
"That's right." Bai Muxue nodded neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Now I'm asking you, have you ever killed anyone? And who were the people you killed?"
Bai Muxue answered without hesitation: "I have killed them. I have killed a rapist and a plunderer, and I have killed a martial artist who ambushed me and tried to steal my storage ring."
"Just these two people?" Wang Zhaolong pressed.
"That's right."
The Heart-Questioning Array remained unactivated, indicating that Bai Muxue was not lying.
Moreover, Bai Muxue's answer was flawless, so Wang Zhaolong had no choice but to continue asking questions.
"What kind of cultivation technique do you practice?" Wang Zhaolong asked.
"White Moon Flying Snow Mystic Technique," Bai Muxue said without hesitation.
"Then who is your teacher? Who taught you your martial arts?" Wang Zhaolong continued to ask.
“My cultivation technique was taught to me by my father. The White Moon Flying Snow Mystic Technique was bought by my father from a martial artist with spirit stones,” Bai Muxue said immediately.
Wang Zhaolong sneered and said sharply, "Your father bought this cultivation technique from an unknown martial artist using spirit stones? That means its lineage is unknown! Who knows who that martial artist who sold it is? Maybe they're a wicked villain! Maybe they've killed countless people? Your cultivation technique might bring you trouble in the future. If you join our Divine Wood Sect, then..."
A smug look appeared on Bai Muqing's face.
Bai Muxue was furious.
She truly hadn't expected that this inner disciple of the Divine Wood Sect would use such a reason to make things difficult for her!
This is absolutely outrageous!
"I'm sorry, you have no affinity with our Shenmu Sect. You may leave now!" Wang Zhaolong said, waving his hand.
"You...you..."
Bai Muxue's face turned ashen with anger, and her hands clenched into fists.
Wang Zhaolong sneered, "Your lineage and background are unclear, that's an obvious fact. What else do you have to say? Leave here now, or don't blame me—"
Wang Zhaolong had just finished speaking when a voice suddenly rang out.
"Her lineage is legitimate."
Wang Zhaolong was stunned for a moment, then turned around with an angry expression and shouted, "Who interrupted!"
As soon as he said it, Wang Zhaolong turned ashen-faced.
Suddenly, Ye Feng opened his eyes and turned to look at them.
Zhao Changlong and several other inner disciples of the Shenmu Sect present, as well as Xiong Shao Chen and Xiong Shao Gang, all showed expressions of shock.
It's obvious that Ye Feng said those words just now!
"Elder Lin... Elder Lin, the origin of her cultivation technique is unknown, perhaps..." Wang Zhaolong stammered, forcing himself to speak.
“I said she has no problem, and that means she has no problem. If you’re not convinced, you can go and appeal to the sect leader,” Ye Feng said calmly.
Wang Zhaolong's face turned a deep liver color.
Zhao Changlong's face was extremely grim.
Bai Muqing was both shocked and furious, but he dared not ask any questions.
After all, Chen Buwei has already demonstrated with his actions what happens when you provoke Ye Feng!
"The ten disciples are enough. There's no need to ask about the rest. Let them go." Ye Feng stood up, and as soon as he finished speaking, he flew away without even glancing at Wang Zhaolong, Zhao Changlong, and the others.
