She and Yu Mengjiao had been good friends for so many years, and this was the first time she had ever seen Yu Mengjiao pay so much attention to a man.
"I don't like him, I just admire him."
Upon hearing Xie Anran's words, Yu Mengjiao's cheeks involuntarily flushed red.
Xie Anran: I believe it.
Just then, a figure in dark robes came into view, and Yu Mengjiao's heart skipped a beat. It was Young Master Wang!
He did come!
Xie Anran: "You still say you don't like it, but your eyes are practically glued to him. I don't know what kind of good fortune he has to be appreciated by Miss Yu."
"Anran!" Yu Mengjiao said coquettishly.
"Alright, alright, I won't say anymore," Xie Anran said with a grin, lowering her voice.
"It's him."
Upon hearing the voice of the Wang family head, Wang Lang followed the Wang family head's gaze and looked ahead, his eyes landing on Yin Ming.
He was very satisfied.
The most important thing for a cultivator is their aura! Generally, cultivators with a strong aura are also quite talented.
Jun Liuyue did not ignore the intense gazes of Wang Lang and the head of the Wang family, and a smile curved her lips.
It seems that Ah Ming has been targeted.
Tsk tsk tsk, I wonder what kind of shit-eating expression the Wang family would have if they knew that the stepping stone they chose was the dignified Demon Lord?
The rules for the second round are to enter the secret realm and hunt magical beasts. Whoever hunts the most magical beasts within the allotted time wins.
This level can be completed in a team or solo.
However, cultivators in this stage will initially choose to team up with others.
Once the midfield and defense are separated, they will fight their own battles.
This way, I can ensure that I survive to the finals.
They won't be eliminated in the early stages of the competition.
However, when entering the secret realm, you are randomly teleported, meaning that before entering, no one knows which nook or cranny they will be teleported to.
Moreover, once you enter the secret realm, the connection to your soul sea will be severed! In other words, summoners will not be able to summon their contracted beasts here at all.
Elder Qiu Chang briefly explained the rules for the second round.
"Everyone, please be careful. If you absolutely have to, you can crush the teleportation talisman in your hand and you will be safely teleported out. Remember, safety comes first!" Elder Qiu Chang kindly reminded everyone, his gaze sweeping over them.
Whether it was her imagination or not, Liu Yue felt that Elder Qiu Chang's gaze lingered on her for a moment.
There was even a hint of pity in his gaze.
mercy?
Liu Yue's lips twitched slightly; she must be imagining things.
One by one, the cultivators entered the secret realm, clutching the talismans in their hands tightly, afraid of dropping them, after all, these were... the key to saving their lives.
Divine-level defensive artifacts aren't so easy to obtain! This secret realm must be fraught with danger!
Elder Qiu Chang's gaze fell on Liu Yue's retreating figure, and he sighed.
In the first round, this kid only survived because of Wang Erzhuang's protection. In the second round, Wang Erzhuang won't be able to protect him anymore. This skinny little guy is probably going to suffer a bit.
Although they held teleportation talismans in their hands, sometimes they didn't even have time to crush them before the monsters snatched them away.
"Elder Qiu Chang, may I participate in the training?"
At that moment, a clear, crisp sound rang out.
Qiu Chang turned around and saw the person standing in front of her, and was slightly startled.
——
Just as Liu Yue had expected, she and Yin Ming entered the passage one after the other. However, in the pitch-black passage, it was impossible to see one's own hand in front of one's face. By the time they stepped into the secret realm, Yin Ming had already disappeared from her side.
"It seems I've been teleported to another place." Liu Yue raised her hand and touched her nose, which was exactly what she expected.
The forest was filled with miasma, but fortunately it was just ordinary miasma.
If it's a delusion, it will make people lose their way, unable to see the path beneath their feet, and even cause hallucinations! In the end, they won't even realize they've fallen off a cliff.
Ordinary miasma is not dangerous; just be careful not to slip on the ground.
Ryuzuki is very confident in her keen senses; even without using her eyes, she can sense direction using her ears and nose.
However, the miasma also made the atmosphere extremely chaotic, and even with her divine sense spread out, Liu Yue could not sense Yin Ming's presence.
"Ah! Help! What are you doing! This is a competition! Aren't you afraid of being found out if you do this?"
Not far away, a woman's terrified screams could be heard. She clutched her chest, and her clothes were torn to shreds.
The person was pushed down onto the weeds, and his back was scratched by thorns.
"You're a female cultivator, and you've cultivated for so long, isn't it all just to find a man? Isn't what we're doing exactly what you want?"
Three men stood in front of the woman, and one of them had already opened his shirt.
He couldn't help but pounce on her.
"Let me go!"
During her struggle, the woman kicked the man in his groin.
ah--!
The man let out a bloodcurdling scream, like a pig being slaughtered. The two men behind him were impatient. Seeing their companion fail, they rushed forward. Just as the woman was about to break free, one of them held down her legs, and the other held down her hands.
The woman was pinned to the ground and unable to move. She cried out, "Let me go!"
"Let go? What about the fact that you kicked me? Just because I'm unlucky?" The leader grabbed the woman by the neck.
They tore off the woman's clothes, which were now only covering her body.
At that critical moment, a long sword flew in and pierced through the man's shoulder.
The sword energy violently sent the man flying, and with a bang, the crimson sword pierced through his body, pinning him firmly to the tree trunk.
ah!
Her chest was pierced through, and the other two were stunned by what they saw. The woman took advantage of this moment to get up.
"Boss?!"
"Hurry up and come here!" The man nailed to the tree twitched, and just as he finished speaking, a crimson longsword was drawn, and the man fell from the tree trunk in mid-air.
It was four or five meters above the ground, with a thicket of thorny brambles growing below.
The barbs, as long as a finger, pierced the man's body, turning him into a hedgehog.
The woman hastily threw on her clothes and ran deeper into the miasma.
"Grab her!"
The man, riddled with thorns, still had the strength to shout.
But the white mist had already obscured the woman's figure.
"Who is it!"
"Who's lurking in the shadows! If you have the guts, step forward! What kind of hero hides like that?!"
"Who! Who's playing tricks on me!"
For a long time, there was no response, and the eerie silence made the three of them start to feel uneasy.
A white figure emerged from the shadows.
Upon seeing the newcomer, one of them recognized him. "Isn't that the pretty boy?"
