"How useless are you that you need a bunch of useless people like us to help you? And you call coercion 'help'?" Qiao Yu looked at the snowflakes in the sky expressionlessly and reached out to catch a handful.
His master had returned, and he thought he would have time to catch up with his master, but he was notified early the next morning that he had to enter the illusion.
Liang Si didn't come in. Unlike the Wuxiang Illusionary Realm of Xuanyun Sect, their locations were different after being teleported in. He spent a lot of effort to finally find his junior brothers and sisters.
"Senior brother, I'm cold." Ling Yi tugged at Yang Wennan's sleeve.
Qinghe Mountain is as cool as its name suggests. The disciples of Xuanyun Sect are warm enough in their flying fish robes, but this snow is not like ordinary snow.
The temperature in the illusion dropped rapidly, and even with the protection of mystic energy, everyone was still covered in snowflakes.
Especially Ling Yi, who was just an ordinary child without any profound energy. If he hadn't been lucky enough to be right next to Yang Wennan as soon as he entered, he might have been eaten by the wolves, tigers, and leopards in the illusion as soon as he entered.
"Wear this." Ignoring the smoke and fire on the field, Yang Wennan casually took out a cloak from his storage bag.
As fellow disciples of Wen Jingge, only Qiao Yu and Wang Xi were targeted after entering this illusion, as they were the most threatening among the four. As for him and Ling Yi, one was blind and the other was a little kid, not worth worrying about.
"Senior brother, I'm cold too." Wang Xi's hand remained on the bow and arrow.
Since returning from Mogan City, her profound energy has become much more refined. In addition, with the spells that the Grand Preceptor secretly passed on to her when she left Qianyan Kingdom, her current strength has reached the fifth rank.
As for Qiao Yu, although she has not yet crossed the threshold of the sixth rank, she has made considerable progress in her strength after this period of enlightenment, and she can now demonstrate the strength of a seventh-rank sword cultivator.
"Wait." Yang Wennan suddenly felt like a mother hen, but then he remembered that his senior brother also served their master in the same way, and he suddenly felt relieved.
Hey! Blind man!
Yang Wennan was taken aback for a moment, but decided to reason with him, "I'm not blind, I could see before."
The man paused, then said, "Come here! I'm cold too! Do you know who I am?"
Yang Wennan ignored the man's gossip. For a major sect like theirs that had stood among the Xuanmen for thousands of years, crushing Moyun Cave was as easy as crushing an ant, and they were nothing to fear.
Even if the master found out, he would probably kill them without asking why.
Their master, however, was determined to become a great villain.
"I am..."
Yang Wennan took a deep breath, feeling the coldness in her lungs. The air flowed through her lungs and then slowly swirled out, turning into a stale breath. "You can lure that bear over, and you can even kick me when I'm down. I just... really dislike it when people talk to me in such an aggressive tone."
The previous one—no, the two most aggressive people before him—are already dead.
"Who do you think you are! Don't think that just because you've become Wen Jingge's disciple you can look down on us small sects. Wen Jingge is nothing more than—"
"But what is it?" Yang Wennan's expression changed slightly.
Bai Run didn't see how he made his move. By the time he came to his senses, the blind cripple was already in front of him and had grabbed his neck. "No matter how bad my master is, no one can say a bad word about her."
"You! Let him go!" Lou Shujie and his men surrounded them.
The purpose of entering the illusionary realm this time is mainly to find three things. One is the Cangjie Sword, the legendary treasure of Qinghe Mountain, which is also the prize for this round of trials, in order to test the sword cultivators and martial arts cultivators participating in the trials.
The Cangjie Sword has not recognized a master in Qinghe Mountain for so many years, which shows that it is difficult to tame.
The other two items are: one is the legendary Netherworld Lotus, which is said to be able to bring the dead back to life. This lotus grows in the crevices of the void, and the only place in the world where it can grow now is probably the illusion of Qinghe Mountain; the other is the Thousand Machine Lock, which is prepared for Dharma cultivators and Buddhist cultivators. Only by successfully unlocking the Thousand Machine Lock can one leave the illusion smoothly.
Of course, disciples can also leave the illusion if they can no longer bear it, and elders from the outside world will come to their aid.
However, what they didn't know was that the arrival of this blizzard had left the elders of Qinghe Mountain and their masters preoccupied with their own affairs.
If they could acquire all three, their sect's status within the Xuanmen would surely be limitless in the future.
The disciples of Moyun Cave had just this idea in mind, especially since Wanzhang Peak seemed to be excluded by the other peaks, so they were even more determined to make them do hard labor.
The trial rules did not impose many restrictions on the number of disciples from each sect who could enter. Currently, there were more than ten of them, while Qiao Yu's side only had four. Moreover, Yang Wennan, who was considered to be of high combat strength, was overlooked. The disciples from Moyun Cave were very confident in their abilities.
"Senior Brother Yang." Wang Xi's personality has become much more composed now. She is no longer the little girl who would just shout and watch the show. Now she cares more about her master's reputation.
She didn't want things to turn out the way they did last time, where even though her master was dead, she could still hear gossip and rumors targeting him.
"Take it easy."
Yang Wennan sighed, released his grip on Bai Run, and looked at Huang Yi, "There are more and more bears here, you guys figure it out yourselves!"
After saying that, she took to the air and landed back beside Ling Yi.
Ling Yi obediently extended his shoulder for Yang Wennan to lean on, allowing Yang Wennan to land steadily without falling due to the curse on his leg.
"You cripple! You think you're so tough? Then go chase those bears away!"
"Not only bears, but also wolves." Yang Wennan chuckled to himself, then sat down as if nothing had happened, tossing Qiao Yu a cloak. "Senior Brother Qiao, are you hungry?"
Of the group, only Qiao Yu and Ling Yi hadn't reached the fasting stage yet. Qiao Yu twirled the sword she was holding, sheathed it, and walked over, ignoring the person who was still clamoring for a fight. "Junior sister! That's enough!"
"Alright!" Wang Xi nodded, muttering as she walked, "I really don't know where they get their confidence. Having seen those on Master's side who dared to scheme against the Heavenly Dao, who would want to play house with children!"
"Senior brother!" Bai Run was furious. If Huang Yi hadn't stopped him, he would have rushed over. "They not only didn't chase away the bear, but they also mocked us like this? Can you swallow this insult?"
"Whether you can tolerate it or not is up to you." Huang Yi flicked her sleeve, glared at the person beside her, and hissed, "Lou Shujie! Is this what you call showing off? You'd better give me an explanation!"
Lou Shujie looked strange. He bit his lip, seemingly talking to himself, "It shouldn't be like this, it wasn't like this last time..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? What past life?"
“Senior brother…” Lou Shujie glanced at the bear that was eyeing him menacingly in the forest, then looked at Qiao Yu sitting by the campfire, “Trust me, you will definitely get Cangjie if you follow Qiao Yu.”
Yang Wennan paused, then suddenly turned his gaze towards the group from Moyun Cave.
Ling Yi was a beat slower than him, "Senior brother, that person..."
"Good boy/girl! Drink your porridge."
