Xie Zhou looked up and saw countless eyes staring intently at him, with a look of inquiry and utter shock.
Xie Zhou could only pretend that he knew nothing about what had happened and walked calmly into the crowd, but Xie Zhou still felt something was strange.
Because with every step she took, those people's eyes followed her every move, Xie Zhou almost wanted to dig a hole and disappear into it. He had no idea what that person was up to. He had only taken one step when things suddenly exploded.
Was the first sect leader of the Sword Sect dissatisfied with her not accepting the Ruthless Sword Intent? How could the entire tomb suddenly explode?
She was startled and felt a little scared, but then she suddenly remembered that when the first sect leader of the Sword Sect gave her all the power of inheritance, she was so happy that she didn't even notice the state of that person.
However, recalling his tone at the time, he sounded somewhat weak and listless. Could it be that all the power of inheritance was passed on to him, and he had no power left and then disappeared? But how could the tomb have suddenly exploded?
Xie Zhou was filled with doubts, as were everyone else. They had never seen anything like this before: someone would emerge from the place they wanted to test themselves, only to have that place destroyed. It was truly strange.
The crowd was buzzing with discussion and speculation, but they were all watching Xie Zhou's every move closely.
Xie Zhou felt extremely uncomfortable under the scrutiny of those pairs of eyes, and his heart was filled with unease. He quickly explained, "I was terrified! I don't know what happened either. But I hope no one was hurt by what happened just now. After all, when a tomb suddenly explodes, those rubble will inevitably hit people."
Upon hearing this, some people suddenly felt it was inappropriate to stare at a girl with such intense gaze, so they looked away. However, their curiosity still lingered, and they couldn't help but glance at her a few more times.
One of the disciples stepped forward and asked, "Miss, what did you just do? Why did that grave explode? Do you know who the owner of that grave is?"
Xie Zhou said, "When I stepped into the formation, all I could think about was the Sword Sect, so I entered a trial ground related to the Sword Sect. I don't know why, but just as I was leaving, the tomb exploded. I don't know what happened; perhaps it was because of what I did during those trials..."
A young woman stepped forward and, seemingly sensing Xie Zhou's sadness, quickly comforted him, "Don't worry, perhaps you upset him. Did you fail the trial? Don't be sad. Actually, after the Four Saints' Tomb opened, everyone's trial was extremely difficult. No one will completely pass this trial; it's already good enough if they survive."
Xie Zhou saw the girl suddenly step forward to comfort him, and she also looked puzzled.
It was even more awkward, but since the girl had already said so, she had no choice but to go along with it. Otherwise, they would see her causing the tomb to explode because she had obtained all the inheritance power. After all, the bigger the tree, the more the wind would blow it up, and she didn't want to be assassinated.
Then Xie Zhou said with a regretful expression, "Alas... isn't that right? I vaguely remember an old man kicking me out of that space, just because I failed the first test..."
Hearing the host's tone, the system couldn't help but tease, "Host, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning for lying?"
Xie Zhou's eyes darted around, giving her a cunning look, but no one around her noticed her little actions. In her mind, she responded to the system: "Stop talking nonsense. Isn't there a reason for this? Do you want to announce this to the public? I don't want to be hunted down by so many people!"
"The host is still far-sighted!"
After exchanging several polite words, Xie Zhou finally relaxed. Fortunately, those people were easily persuaded in just a few words; otherwise, she would have gotten tired of talking to them.
But looking around now, I don't see Senior Brother Song and his group. Are they still undergoing trials and haven't come out yet?
More and more people came out, so Xie Zhou took another careful look to see if Senior Brother Song and the others were coming out, but found that they weren't. So she stopped looking, found a shady spot to sit down and meditate to adjust her breathing and properly feel the power of her inheritance.
...Suddenly, a startled bird's cry rang out.
"Aaaaaah!..."
Even with his eyes closed, Xie Zhou sensed a very violent aura emanating from not far away.
The wind ruffled her hair, and Xie Zhou felt a growing unease. Sure enough, an even more terrifying aura emanated from ahead.
Not far ahead, a black-clad man shrouded in dark energy was wreaking havoc. His eyes were bloodshot, and he wielded a sword, relentlessly slashing at everyone around him, killing all who were there, friend or foe.
"Hmm..."
"puff……"
Wherever this man went, rivers of blood flowed.
She sensed something was wrong and quickly went to check in that direction. She saw a woman in black who had gone berserk. She seemed to have lost her mind and was just wielding a sword, attacking everyone around her. Many people were frightened and fled in all directions, but some who were slower were still caught up by the woman in black and killed in one move.
"Yay! Ha..."
"roar!…"
The rampaging man in black was slaughtering the surrounding sect disciples.
Some powerful sects have begun to unite and attack this man in black.
With a series of loud bangs, the man in black, incredibly strong, grabbed a disciple by the collar and lifted him into the air before slamming him to the ground. The disciple fell to the ground, spitting out blood.
These allied sects were about to be defeated by this man in black. Xie Zhou quickly stepped forward to stop the man in black from indiscriminately killing innocent people and threw a talisman at him.
The man in black was frozen in place, but by the time Xie Zhou arrived in front of him, the man in black had already broken free of the talisman.
His hair was disheveled, and he looked like a puppet controlled by resentment. Strange shouts came from his throat as he brandished his sword and slashed at anyone he saw.
Xie Zhou quickly released his powerful mental energy.
"boom!……"
The man in black took a step forward, then suddenly stopped, as if Xie Zhou's powerful mental strength had suppressed him.
The man in black dared not approach her again, and Xie Zhou took the opportunity to plunge the Peerless Sword into his abdomen.
Blood slowly trickled from the man in black's mouth. Xie Zhou grabbed the hilt of the sword and pulled it out violently. The sword was covered in blood, and the blade was dripping blood.
The man in black paused slightly.
The man in black remained motionless for the time being, so she quickly helped up the other sect disciples who were still vomiting blood and clutching their chests.
