boom--
The final, massive sonic wave spread out, exploding simultaneously with the wind wall, and gradually dissipated into the sky.
Ruan Kongyin stopped playing the zither and stood holding it.
Soon, a path appeared in the bamboo forest.
Jiang Wuyuan and Ruan Kongyin exchanged a glance and stepped forward.
However, an unexpected change occurred.
Stop.
Buzz—
As a vast and ethereal sound rang out, Jiang Wuyuan felt his body being fixed in place by an extremely powerful energy.
He tried to raise the hand holding the sword, but found it was no use.
"Your path is not here," the voice continued.
Seeing that the power was not meant to harm him, Jiang Wuyuan slowly relaxed his body and gestured with his eyes that he understood.
"You're quite a promising swordsman... I'll send you to Hidden Sword Mountain."
Before the two could react, Jiang Wuyuan was swept away by the great power and transported to another unfamiliar place.
Ruan Kongyin frowned and glanced in the direction where Jiang Wuyuan had disappeared.
"senior......."
"Keep moving forward."
The mysterious entity had no intention of answering Ruan Kongyin's question, but merely urged him to continue forward.
Upon hearing this, Ruan Kongyin had no choice but to stop worrying about it.
It seems that this secret realm is not targeting their lives, and the senior just mentioned that he was sending them to Hidden Sword Mountain.
If it weren't for concerns about his own safety, Jiang Wuyuan would probably already be on the floating island of Hidden Sword Mountain.
With this in mind, Ruan Kongyin felt relieved and continued her journey.
——
On the other side.
Jiang Wuyuan found himself transported to the foot of a waterfall.
At this time, six people were already standing nearby.
They were not surprised by Jiang Wuyuan's sudden appearance, because they had also been suddenly sent here by the barrier formation outside.
"Hey, you look unfamiliar." A dark-skinned young man approached. "Are you the student who got the invitation because you helped Major Zhan obtain the key?"
Jiang Wuyuan glanced at the person calmly and said, "Yes."
The young man clicked his tongue: "Very strong blood and qi. To be honest, I initially thought you just got this opportunity because you were lucky."
Jiang Wuyuan remained noncommittal.
It's understandable that others would make such speculations since they don't know him well.
“A voice just said that anyone who can leave a sword mark on the rock behind this waterfall within the specified time will be able to advance to the next test.” The young man crossed his arms and looked at the girl standing under the waterfall in front of him. “Ji Wangchun is also a well-known swordsman among the younger generation in our military. This is her second attempt.”
The second time?
As if sensing Jiang Wuyuan's confusion, the young man grinned and said, "Of course, the first time was a failure~"
Jiang Wuyuan nodded and continued reading.
The girl's sword spun in her hand, and she shouted, her eyes filled with an unyielding stubbornness.
The sword pierces the clouds!
boom--
The incredibly powerful attack crashed heavily onto the cascading waterfall.
However, it only caused a few splashes of water.
The girl's face turned pale, and it seemed that her Dao heart was about to collapse.
"Sigh, another failure." The young man shook his head, seemingly regretful, but actually quite calm.
While others only saw Ji Wangchun's failure, Jiang Wuyuan saw much more.
Ji Wangchun's sword strike was all form and no spirit. It seemed to be incredibly powerful, but in reality, it was full of flaws.
It seems that this assessment does have some merit.
Jiang Wuyuan thought with great interest.
