"Mr. Mu, have you really made up your mind? The beast soul guarding the Beast Soul Hall is not so easy to deal with. Once you fail, the consequences will be disastrous. There is no need for you to take risks for us." Tan Yu said hesitantly, trying to persuade Mu Hanyan to change her mind.
"This is not just for you. Even if it's not for accepting disciples, I will still try." Mu Hanyan said firmly.
"Alright then, let's go to the Beast Soul Hall first." Although he hadn't known Mu Hanyan for long, Tan Yu could already sense his unwavering character. He knew he couldn't change his mind, so he could only say this helplessly. But he secretly regretted that if he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have asked for his help.
Although Gong Hongru had once passed the Beast Soul Hall's trials with the strength of a sixth-rank swordsman, how many geniuses like Gong Hongru had ever emerged from Longyan Academy in its hundreds of thousands of years of history? Countless self-important so-called geniuses had perished in the Beast Soul Hall, including some at the level of Grand Swordsman.
No matter how good Mu Hanyan's talent is or how strong her strength is, she can't be stronger than them, right?
The more Tan Yu thought about it, the more worried he became, and the more regretful he became.
"Don't worry so much, he will be fine and will definitely pass the trial successfully." Seeing Tan Yu's face full of regret and worry, Zirong patted his shoulder and said comfortingly.
"That's right. Not only will the adults be able to pass the trial successfully, but the three of you can also stay here with peace of mind." Jiang Yuzhe also said.
Tan Yu was surprised to find that although he had clearly explained the risks of the Beast Soul Hall trial, not only Mu Hanyan herself was confident, but Hua Yue and others beside her were also equally confident, especially Jiang Yuzhe, who even had a bit of fanatical respect in his eyes when looking at Mu Hanyan.
"You are really not worried at all." Tan Yu really couldn't understand where their confidence came from.
"Don't worry, the adults have never let us down, not before and not in the future." Jiang Yuzhe said like a devout believer.
Could it be that this Mu Hanyan is really that powerful? Although Tan Yu still felt that Hua Yue and others' trust in Mu Hanyan was a bit too blind, no matter what, his uneasy heart finally calmed down a little.
As he spoke, the Beast Soul Hall appeared in his sight.
The spacious hall, the majestic aura. From afar, Mu Hanyan could feel the aura of the divine beasts emanating from the Beast Soul Hall. The powerful pressure was somewhat similar to that of the Qiongqi Temple in the Valley of Strange Beasts. Looking closely, the architectural style of the hall was also somewhat similar to that of the Qiongqi Temple, and was equally ancient.
There is no doubt that this Beast Soul Temple, like the Qiongqi Temple, is an ancient relic that has survived to this day.
Mu Hanyan was secretly shocked. Longyan College was indeed very profound. It even had an ancient relic similar to the Qiongqi Temple.
At this time, nearly a hundred academy disciples and several instructors were gathered outside the Beast Soul Hall, whispering about something. A few of them looked excited, while most of them were worried.
"What happened?" Mu Hanyan asked Tan Yu in confusion.
"I remember now. Qiu Yongcheng from the Tenglong branch entered the Beast Soul Hall to participate in the trial three days ago. Could it be that he hasn't come out yet?" Gu Linfeng said, patting his forehead.
"Qiu Yongcheng, from the Qiu family of Dongzhou County?" Mu Hanyan asked subconsciously. Because of her feud with the Qiu family and Qiu Ping'an's fiancée, Jiang Qiling, Miss Mu was somewhat sensitive to people with the surname Qiu. After all, the Qiu family still had dozens of children remaining at Longyan Academy.
"Yes, this Qiu Yongcheng is from the Qiu family in Dongzhou County. He entered Longyan College sixty years ago. Because of his outstanding talent, he was retained as a tutor. It is said that his strength has reached the level of a great swordsman." Tan Yu said.
He also heard what Jiang Qiling said yesterday. Later, when chatting with Mu Hanyan, he learned about the grudge between them and the Qiu family, so naturally he would not hide anything.
"It's strange. Although Qiu Yongcheng is a great swordsman, I heard that his aptitude is not too amazing. His strength has already reached its limit, so he has always been very self-aware and never dared to come to the Beast Soul Hall for trial. Why did he suddenly change his mind?" After saying this, Tan Yu muttered to himself in confusion.
"This isn't a simple matter. Qiu Ping'an's cultivation was crippled, and his bones and muscles were broken. He has no hope in this life. The Qiu family has also been banned by Lord Gong. For the next two hundred years, no Qiu family member will be allowed to join Longyan Academy. They have been pushed into a desperate situation. It's only a matter of time before their family is wiped out.
This Qiu Yongcheng probably wanted to try his best to improve his status in Longyan College, and then recruit more disciples to help the Qiu family at a critical moment.
"But he hasn't come out in three days. He's probably in grave danger. Even if he's not dead, he's probably half dead. In the end, all his efforts are in vain, and he won't even have a chance to regret it." Zirong's mind was always quick, and she easily guessed what Qiu Yongcheng was planning. She lowered her voice and said with a sly smile.
Relying on the large number of his family members in Longyan College, Qiu Ping'an dared to plot to frame Mu Hanyan. The two sides had long been enemies, and of course they wished that the Qiu family would suffer misfortune.
Huayue and the others all agreed with Zirong's guess and started to smirk with gloating attitude.
"What are you doing here?" As they approached the Beast Soul Hall, a young swordsman suddenly stepped in front of them and demanded a harsh question. This man was none other than Qiu Zizhong, the man who had tried to frame Mu Hanyan the previous time.
It is said that enemies are particularly jealous when they meet. At this time, Qiu Zizhong stared at Zirong with fire almost spitting out of his eyes.
Mu Hanyan, however, showed a brilliant, provocative smile. I just like the way you dislike me but can't get rid of me.
Zirong's previous words were absolutely correct. The reason why Qiu Yongcheng took the risk to come to the Beast Soul Hall for the trial was indeed to turn the tide and save the Qiu family from danger. This was also the order given to him by the head of the Qiu family before he went insane. Otherwise, with his strength and qualifications, he might not dare to take such a risk.
However, judging from the current situation, things might be very bad. Qiu Zizhong and other members of the Qiu family were extremely anxious. But at this moment, they saw the culprit who pushed the Qiu family into a desperate situation and forced Qiu Yongcheng to risk his life. Naturally, Qiu Zicheng would not be in a good mood.
"The Beast Soul Hall is not yours. If you can come, why can't we?" Gu Yushu said unconvincedly with her big belly.
"You are just a servant, yet you dare to speak to me like that? You are courting death." Qiu Zizhong looked at the sword robe on Gu Yushu, his face turned cold, and he slapped Gu Yushu in the face.
He has a high seniority in the Qiu family. Even Qiu Ping'an, the young master of the Qiu family, has to respectfully call him Seventh Uncle. He has been in Longyan College for nearly ten years and has some status in the Tenglong branch. Naturally, he does not take Gu Yushu seriously.
This palm strike seemed ordinary, but in fact it was extremely exquisite. Gu Yushu wanted to dodge, but under the shadow of the palm strike, his two feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, and he was so scared that his face turned pale.
"How shameless!" Mu Hanyan wouldn't stand by and watch her own people suffer, blocking the attack with a palm. "You think you can act so presumptuous in front of her when she's here?! Who's looking for death?"
With a muffled sound, Qiu Zizhong took a step back, and Mu Hanyan's figure only paused slightly.
