Chapter 1114 – The Test
Mu Yun did not look for trouble with Xu Chuniang because of the small transgressions he had once had, and only treated her as an ordinary cultivator, leading her out of the city together.
Just out of the city, the twilight clouds will be toward the northwest, steeply accelerated speed, such as a sharp arrow flying toward the front.
The several Heavenly Demons following her side also accelerated their speed at the same time, quickly distancing themselves from the cultivators behind them who had passed the preliminary selection.
The cultivators at the back were stunned and hurriedly gritted their teeth to follow.
Some were puzzled in their hearts and transmitted their voices to discuss the matter with those they knew well.
“What’s going on, isn’t the Tenth Highness taking us out of the city to test our strength? She’s walking so fast, how can we keep up?”
“Could …… this be a part of the test?”
There were cultivators with fast-spinning brains who immediately thought of this, if the recluse speed was too slow, when they went to the ancient graveyard and encountered danger, there would only be one way to die.
“I see, from the moment we left the city, the test has already begun!”
The crowd was in awe, they didn’t dare to be careless anymore, they all increased their recluse speed to the extreme, closely following a few figures in the distance, fearing that they would be left behind.
However, Twilight Cloud and the few cultivators beside her were all Heavenly Demon level powerhouses, and it was not an easy task to keep up with them.
But in just a quarter of an hour, there were quite a few cultivators with slower recluse speeds who were left behind.
After half an hour, those who were still following a few people were left with only fifty percent of what they came with.
The Heavenly Demon powerhouse beside Mu Yun probed out his demonic thoughts, sensed in detail, and frowned in dissatisfaction.
“Your Highness, only half an hour has passed and half of the people have fallen behind, by the time we reach the Black Cloud Mountain, I’m afraid that there won’t be a few people left, should we slow down the speed a bit?”
“No need.”
Twilight Cloud’s tone was flat, “My principle is that I’d rather have more than less, instead of looking for a bunch of wastes to add to my problems, it’s better to find a few with real skills, if they are lucky and can leave the ancient graveyard alive, and bring them back to the Demon Realm in the future to cultivate them properly, it’s also not bad for a helping hand.”
“Yes.”
The Heavenly Demon who made the suggestion nodded slightly and didn’t say anything more.
Twilight Cloud and her group traveled at an extremely fast speed, not caring if the people following behind her could keep up with her, and it wasn’t until five hours later, when a large, black-crowned mountain blocked the way, that she stopped her footsteps and turned back to look towards her back.
In the vast and boundless void, there is no figure.
“What a waste, not a single one that can keep up.”
Twilight Cloud coldly lowered his eyebrows.
The Heavenly Demon at his side was somewhat helpless, the outside world said that the Ninth Highness had a violent temperament and was not easy to get along with, while the Tenth Highness had a gentle and approachable temperament.
But only those of them knew that the tenth highness’s gentleness was nothing more than purposeful, for those who had no use for them, the tenth highness would never look at them more than once.
“Your Highness, after all, these people only have Earth Demon Realm cultivation, the gap in cultivation is here, even if we don’t use our full strength, it’s normal for them to be left behind.
However, within the demonic thoughts, I can sense that there are more than ten figures heading towards this place, it won’t take long before they reach the vicinity of the Black Cloud Mountain, heading to the depths of the ancient cemetery to search for the Yin Sinking Pearls requires quite a number of people to scout out the path, it can’t be that we can’t let Heavenly Demon powerhouses to scout out the path.”
The path to the depths of the Ancient Graveyard, there were still quite a few unexplored paths, and those paths that had been explored were piled up with human lives.
It was a bit of a pity in the end for Heavenly Demon powerhouses to be used to probe the path.
“Then burn an incense and wait.”
Twilight Cloud’s expression was still cold, but it was a lot more moderate than before, it really wasn’t that heartbreaking for Earth Demon realm cultivators to die, and it was easier to replenish.
An incense was lit, as this incense continued to burn, several figures gradually appeared in the distance, speeding towards the direction of Black Cloud Mountain. By the time this pillar of incense was burned out, a total of seventeen figures hurriedly arrived.
Xu Chuniang’s figure was interspersed amongst them and was inconspicuous.
Mu Yun looked towards these seventeen people and spoke faintly.
“All of you are able to pass the preliminary selection and follow me all the way here, you do have exceptional abilities, this time, entering the Ancient Graveyard has a great deal at stake, and reclining quickly is only the first test of the re-examination.
Next, there is the second and third test of this reelection, as for the content of this second test ……”
With that, she looked at the towering Black Cloud Mountain behind her.
“The mountain has been placed by me in advance with quite a few Ryuzan stones, I’ll give you all a day’s time, end see how many pieces of Ryuzan stones you can bring out from the Black Cloud Mountain, bring out more than thirty pieces of Ryuzan stones, it is considered to have passed the test, and you can leave the Black Cloud Mountain in advance.”
As soon as Mure Yun’s words fell, someone’s mind came alive and hit on the idea of snatching the Ryusan stones from the hands of the others.
This Black Cloud Mountain was so big, searching for Lusang Stone piece by piece, didn’t know when to find it, it would be better to wait for the time to be ripe, and directly snatch it from other people’s hands to be fast.
Mu Yun saw the crowd’s mind, but did not break it, in fact, she also intends to borrow this round of tests, to see the comprehensive strength of these people.
“Since there are no objections, let’s begin.”
As Mure Yun announced the start of the test, seventeen figures rushed towards the Black Cloud Mountain, scattering towards various parts of the mountain.
After confirming that these people had completely left, the Heavenly Demon powerhouse at Twilight Cloud’s side duly took out seven fist-sized glistening white stones and placed them in a particular way.
After these stones were placed, the light immediately shone brightly, and within a short time, these stones were connected by a strip of white awns.
When these white awns were connected together, they projected seventeen images, and in the center of each image, there was a figure, which was clearly the cultivators who had gone up the mountain just now.
These seven white stones actually had an efficacy comparable to that of the Xuan Shui Jian, able to monitor the movements of the people in Black Cloud Mountain in real time.
However, their effects were disposable, and they would shatter after use.
Muren Yun stared at the images for a while, his expression natural.
These people had just entered the Black Cloud Mountain, and each one of them was busy searching for the Lucidity Stone, and even if they encountered it in the mountain, they would tacitly choose to avoid it.
That was why the people had not had any conflicts for the time being after entering the mountain.
Through a certain image, Muren Yun’s gaze landed on Xu Chuniang’s body and unexpectedly raised an eyebrow.
In such a short period of time, she had actually already found three pieces of Lusanite, her speed was quite fast.
But finding the Lucid Mulberry Stones wasn’t difficult, what was difficult was how to keep them and bring them out of Black Cloud Mountain.
Black Cloud Mountain is not big, any little wind and grass movement in the mountain may startle others, if you want to leave Black Cloud Mountain, you are bound to encounter other people’s obstruction.
By tomorrow, the mountain may not be as calm as it is at this moment.
After Mu Yun retracted his gaze and instructed his subordinates to keep an eye on these people’s movements, he sat down on his own knees, took out a fist-sized piece of wood, and carved it like no one else was watching.
Things were going just as she had predicted.
Early in the morning of the second day, the subtle calm was broken, and the fights between the people, also became more and more frequent.
