Chapter 73 The key clue to Ximen Huairen’s terminal island

There was a terrifying dark color in Xie Tingyu's eyes, but when he turned around and looked at Ze Lan, the dark color disappeared in an instant.

But Xie Tingyu himself did not notice that he had exposed his eyes to Ze Lan without any protection.

Ze Lan's pupils shrank suddenly.

There were lingering purple-gold fragments of light in Xie Tingyu's pupils, which did not disappear even after the ink color faded. There was a hint of divine light in that weirdness, which made Ze Lan's usually calm heart tremble violently.

She knew Xie Tingyu was a man with secrets, but she never thought that Xie Tingyu would reveal the secrets to her like this.

Han Xunzhen was fully focused on deducing the jade slip. The jade piece kept shuttling between his fingertips, leaving behind a white afterimage.

He didn't notice anything, and naturally didn't notice the tense atmosphere between Xie Tingyu and Ze Lan.

"What's wrong, senior sister?" Han Xunzhen noticed that Zelan in front had slowed down a bit, and asked in confusion.

Ze Lan chuckled, "I just came back to see how you were doing..." She looked up at the huge golden hourglass shadow in the sky, "It's been almost four hours, why haven't you figured it out yet."

Han Xunzhen was already sweating profusely. When he heard his senior sister's urging, his eyes widened for a moment, "Senior sister, don't be so anxious. This thing is not something I can get done quickly just because I want it to."

After saying this, he tilted his head and said, "Xie Tingyu, didn't you just cast a spell? Can you see the golden thread? If it doesn't work, throw the boat out again and have a look."

"If the fishing boat can be thrown out to determine the specific direction, then there won't be this suspense. The guidance of the golden line has long been gone, which means it is nearby, but the location is unclear." Xie Tingyu rolled his eyes.

Unable to find the terminal island for a while, and without seeing any other disciples along the way, the three of them simply stopped in mid-air.

Ze Lan released the dilapidated fishing boat, and the three of them retracted their weapons and landed on the fishing boat.

Xie Tingyu stood at the bow of the boat. This old fishing boat had no awning to shelter it and was extremely narrow, only enough for three people to stand on it.

"Since the golden thread disappeared, it means it is within this range. Why can't I detect anything even if I release my spiritual power?" Han Xunzhen released his spiritual power, which swept across the surface of Xuandu Sea without causing any ripples, but in a moment it had detected an area of ​​a hundred miles in radius.

There was doubt in his voice. Not only the three of them, but other disciples were also stuck at this step.

Xuan Yuntian and the people from Xilin Huanlou all watched the disciples' situation through the photo stones.

Seeing that all the disciples had stopped because they couldn't find the terminal island, Xie Tingyu took out the ferry. Although he started late, he had the guidance of the golden thread and later surpassed almost all the teams.

Seeing this, Yuhua sat up straight and leaned back against the chair. "I am so disappointed that they can't even think of this step."

"It's been four hours and no one has found the destination island. It's not entirely my fault, right?" Yuhua noticed the gazes of the people around her and smiled with her chin raised.

He smiled happily, with a sense of schadenfreude.

The head senior brother gave him the task of designing the test questions, and he did his job well. At least it was fair and just, and it was not just because of high cultivation that one could pass the test quickly.

It also tests brain power. Look, so many people's brains are not very smart.

Situ You followed with a laugh and looked back at the tall figure who was walking in leisurely.

He was wearing a light blue corset, with a thin waist and an upright figure. A red silk headband was raised from behind him, and the bone bells at the end of the red silk headband swayed with the sound but never rang.

"Why did you come at this time?" Situ You pointed to the place next to Yun Heng. Yun Heng raised his eyelids, his movements and expression were unusually lazy, with his white hair tied up high, he looked more energetic.

Wen Zhiyu said nothing, but just bowed to Yun Heng as a disciple.

Sat down next to Situ You.

Seeing this, Situ You hesitated to speak, and sighed, "Is everything done?"

"I can't shirk my duties as Master has arranged for me, so I have to do it to the best of my ability. That's why it took a little longer." Wen Zhiyu kept his eyes fixed on the disciples squatting in the ferry, thinking, with a gentle smile on his face.

"Why do you sound so weird?" As soon as Situ You finished speaking, Yun Heng tilted her head and continued, "That's right, you dare to ridicule Master in front of him, you really don't show any respect at all.

The figure of the slender girl was reflected in Wen Zhiyu's eyes. The girl directly stretched her hand into the Xuan Du Sea without wrapping her fingers with spiritual power.

It seems that it is not afraid of the erosion of the water from the Xuandu Sea at all."

He was so absorbed in watching that he didn't even hear Yun Heng's resentful words. If Yun Heng didn't have a beard, he would have been angry.

Situ You noticed that Wen Zhiyu was absent-minded. He was about to speak, but saw Wen Zhiyu frowning slightly. He turned his head away, and the photo stone was showing the picture of his junior sister.

Xie Tingyu was a little surprised by putting her finger directly into the sea water. Not only him, but also the elders of Xilin Huanlou were surprised. Seeing this, they quickly said, "What is this girl doing? The corrosion of Xuan Duhai is not a joke. Since she used the quota of my Xilin Huanlou, she should do her best to win glory for my Xilin Huanlou."

"Why did Elder Fu suddenly say that? It doesn't seem fair that I did nothing just by reaching my hand into the sea. After all, my disciple is still taking a nap on the boat. Maybe he has really put in a lot of effort to bring glory to Xilin Huanlou, and is now gathering his strength for the upcoming competition."

"You are too kind, my poor disciple is not worthy of such a high evaluation."

As the owner of Xilin Huanlou, Chen Chanyi naturally has great intimidation. At the moment, except Fu Hai, no one dares to speak, for fear of offending Chen Chanyi.

But the poster has always had a keen eye, and I'm afraid she will be disappointed this time.

"I know that the host has high hopes for Mr. Xie, but I have to say something unpleasant. No matter how talented Mr. Xie is, it cannot change the fact that his cultivation is low. If it were just a simple literary test, there would still be a glimmer of hope, but this is a test for disciples going to the sea."

Fu Hai had a worried look on his face, as if he was trying earnestly to persuade Chen Chanyi to turn back.

Although the other elders did not say anything, a few of them nodded secretly after listening to Fu Hai's words. They affirmed Fu Hai's point of view and believed that Xie Tingyu, a Fu Shi Yu monk, really could not make any waves.

Chen Chanyi folded his arms and said, "Since this is the case, I will not argue with you any more. The final result is still unknown. I just hope that the elders can be more attentive to this situation."

Chen Chanyi speaks in a sarcastic tone, and anyone can hear the sarcasm in her words.

Xie Tingyu suddenly put his hand into the sea water, which scared Zelan and Han Xunzhen. Han Xunzhen scolded angrily, "Is there water in your head? This is not the time to play in the water. At least use your spiritual power to isolate yourself."

"Why are you cursing so filthy?" Xie Tingyu shook off the water droplets on her fingers, and a smile appeared on her face. "Do you know why you spread your spiritual power over a hundred miles but still didn't notice the location of the terminal island?"

Han Xunzhen's head suddenly jumped, "Could it be - below here?"

Xie Tingyu smiled slyly, "Do you still remember what came out with the golden thread?"

"You mean that poem?"

"Where the tide first rises, the bright moon shines on the high-rise building." Ze Lan finally muttered a few words, and suddenly her eyes lit up: "But we still need to wait for a while."

Han Xunzhen tilted his head. "This poem is easy to understand, but since the time has been explained, where is the location?"

"You have explained it in a simple and easy-to-understand way, don't you understand?" Xie Tingyu Chong rolled his eyes, "The bright moon represents time, and the sea area we are in is the location of the terminal island."

"So we have already been at the terminal island?" Han Xunzhen asked with a hiss.

Xie Tingyu raised his hand and patted his shoulder, "That's not the case."

"Listen to Zelan and wait a little longer. I'm just worried that the ferry won't last too long. Let's just use our spiritual power."

Bright moon.

If the two words "bright moon" in the golden font symbolize the night, then you need to control the time and find the location during the day. At night, you only need to look for it by following the traces of the bright moon reflected on the sea.

The test for the disciples going to sea is limited to one day. Five hours should have passed now and it is about to get dark.

Xie Tingyu and the other two waited for the night to fall, staying where they were. Gradually, two teams of applicants gathered around them.

The faces were particularly familiar, including an old acquaintance, Ximen Huairen.

Ximen Huairen was standing at the bow holding a sword, and his eyes turned cold when he saw Xie Tingyu.

They also got various hints and finally arrived here, but they didn't expect Xie Tingyu to get there before them.

"It seems you have found the decisive clue, but how can you be a traitor?"

As a disciple of Xuan Yuntian, Xie Tingyu had nothing to say when he was scolded for using the quota of Xilin Huanlou to participate in the examination for disciples going to the sea.

She didn't even raise her eyelids. Her voice was calm but with a hint of mockery, as if she was speaking to someone on purpose: "Don't you know what's going on here? Don't you think you're just lucky when you come here?"

Ximen Huairen pondered for a moment and tapped the hilt of the sword with his fingers, "In other words, have you caught any creatures from the Xuandu Sea?" As soon as he finished speaking, his teammates followed Ximen Huairen's line of sight and looked at Xie Tingyu.

He was a tall man in black, with a fierce aura, and seemed to be a physical cultivator who was difficult to get along with.

Xie Tingyu was sure that he had never seen such a person in Xuanyuntian.

Xie Tingyu remained calm and tugged at Zelan's dress with his fingers.

Ze Lan raised her hand and placed her fingers on the bone whip at her waist. A purple light appeared on the bone whip, which looked strange and unusual.

Tianxing Chixiao stood guard at the side of Xie Tingyu, and the sword energy supported Xie Tingyu's body so that she would not fall. She clasped the fingers of her right hand together, raised her hand and cut down with a "chopping" gesture. The sword light penetrated the sea surface directly, stirring up huge ripples.

A black object suddenly emerged from the sea.

Tianxing Chixiao stabbed into the thing, and it immediately made a sharp sound. Xie Tingyu looked closely and saw that it was a black fish longer than a human arm.

The black fish showed its densely packed snow-white sharp teeth, bared its teeth at Xie Tingyu, and kept roaring.

There is evil energy on this thing.

"Huh, it's ugly and smelly." Han Xunzhen raised his hand to his nose and fanned it, then silently took a few steps back.

Xie Tingyu didn't know why the person who designed the Disciple Test at Sea this time had come up with extra points, but the lethality of this creature was indeed not that great, and it shouldn't have much of a training effect. Perhaps it was because he hadn't encountered anything stronger yet. After all, this was the only thing he had seen along the way.

Thinking of this, Xie Tingyu killed the black fish and threw it back into the Xuan Du Sea. The two teams that came one after another were all from Xilin Huanlou, naturally including Song She.

At this moment, the teams have basically gathered, with only Xuan Yuntian's team left. As the people around them were talking, night fell.

As the moonlight fell, the fog grew thicker, covering the applicants and even blocking their breath.

Only by looking at the photo stone can we clearly see how many people were involved in this scene.

Many people looked at the bright moon with shining eyes. There was only that moon in their eyes, and they couldn't wait to rush over. However, they also took into account the enemy candidates, and a confrontation situation was formed.

Xie Tingyu did not argue with them. He stared at the shadow cast on the lake and said to himself, "The bright moon is reflected on the building. The focus is not the moon, but the shadow cast by the moonlight."

A tall black figure jumped off the boat. It was the man next to Ximen Huairen. He rushed straight towards the bright moon reflected on the sea.

With someone taking the lead, many people began to take action.
