C7 Bloody Jungle
The Blood Forest was about two hundred miles northeast of Wolong Mountains. It was like a piece of green cloth with a red dot on it. It was very sudden and eye-catching. They arrived at the Suspended Boat very quickly.
The Suspended Boat slowly descended, and finally stopped at an open area in the forest outside the Blood Forest.
A group of disciples from the Outer Sect emerged from the left side of the boat like a tidal wave. They looked at the blood-red sea of trees, and their faces were filled with curiosity, hesitation, worry, and fear.
They didn't want to enter the Blood Forest and be killed and eaten by the wild beasts inside. They also didn't want to be killed by the disciples of these people who seemed to have the same feelings as them, but also thought about how to kill those people who had grudges with them!
As fellow disciples of the same sect, it was inevitable that they would bump into each other because of certain things and start to fight if they didn't agree with each other.
If it were not for the fact that there were sect laws above, there might have been bloody scenes.
Now that they had come to an environment where they didn't need to be punished for killing fellow disciples, the evil spirit that was suppressed in their hearts was naturally released.
This was what Wu Yao thought. Ever since he entered the Suspended Boat, he had been paying close attention to Lu Ming's movements.
He was afraid that Lu Ming would leave his line of sight and stab at him from a certain direction, just like how he almost killed Yu Lian in front of the Sect Law Palace.
Yu Lian was one of the five big sects in the Outer Sect, and his cultivation realm was at the Acquired Pulse Opening Stage. Even Lu Ming was almost killed by him, so how could he, a Houtian Body Tempering martial artist, defeat Lu Ming?
Therefore, ever since he arrived in Suspended Boat, he had always been by Yu Lian's side. Even if Yu Lian got angry, he wouldn't take three steps away from him.
"Why are you so cowardly? Does Lee Qing know?" Yu Lian said angrily as there was a follower following behind him.
"Of course he knows." Wu Yao did not need to be careless when lying. He said, "Besides, what's wrong with being timid? Being timid also means being careful. It can avoid a lot of things."
Yu Lian stared at Wu Yao for a long time and said sarcastically, "Perhaps this is the reason why you are still in the Houtian Body Tempering stage."
Wu Yao did not want to continue on this topic and said softly, "You have already promised senior brother Lee Qing that you will protect me."
"That's right." Yu Lian nodded, then said seriously, "But he must fulfill his promise. Otherwise, even if his brother is an inner circle disciple, I will not let him go!"
"Don't worry, Senior Brother Yu Lian. Senior Brother Lee Qing will keep his promise." When Wu Yao heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief, as if a huge stone had been dropped in his heart.
"You know Lee Qing so well?" Yu Lian suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked into Wu Yao's eyes. He smiled and said, "I am a little curious. Why did Lee Qing want me to protect you? What is your relationship with him?"
Yu Lian was arrogant and a little arrogant, but he was not a fool.
Wu Yao had been by Lee Qing's side for only two or three years. At most, he was just an errand boy. He might not even be trusted.
There was no need for Lee Qing to protect Wu Yao.
However, Lee Qing just had to do this. He even used his younger brother in the inner sect to guarantee that he would jump through the dragon gate.
When he thought about the terms Lee Qing had discussed with him, he felt that there must be something wrong with the situation.
And this demon... was with Wu Yao.
Yu Lian's gaze brought a lot of pressure to Wu Yao. Beads of sweat broke out on his forehead. He averted his gaze, and his heartbeat sped up. He was a little out of breath.
"Haha... Perhaps senior disciple Lee Qing thinks that I still have some use for him, so he left me here." Wu Yao laughed dryly, and gave a reason that everyone thought was too far-fetched.
Yu Lian didn't say anything. He looked at Wu Yao with a smile that wasn't a smile. His eyes seemed to have seen through Wu Yao.
This caused a wave of anger to rise in Wu Yao's heart. He wanted nothing more than to dig out Wu Yao's eyes! However, he could only think about it in his heart.
"Just take it as that." Yu Lian turned his head to look at the sea of blood-red trees and said, "It's actually very simple to protect you. As long as you kill Lu Ming, you will be safe."
Wu Yao wiped the sweat off his forehead and quickly nodded.
"Coincidentally, I also don't like this disciple called Lu Ming. That makes things easier." Yu Lian thought of the humiliation he had suffered in the Hall of Sect Techniques, and with a gloomy expression, he raised his hand and beckoned, "Liu Gang! Guo Chen!"
A blade-wielding disciple and a spear-wielding disciple squeezed out from the crowd and came in front of Yu Lian. They cupped their fists and called out, "Young Master Yu, what orders do you have?"
Yu Lian looked at the stern of the boat, Lu Ming who was not in a high mood and was talking to Wei Shiyi. He narrowed his eyes and said," When we enter the Blood Forest, find an opportunity to kill him. "
The two disciples understood what he meant. They revealed bloodthirsty smiles and said, "Don't worry, Young Master Yu, we will definitely do it."
"He has a very strange sword technique. You have to pay attention to it." Yu Lian told them what happened in front of the palace, and told them about the last sword attack in a very serious manner.
Actually, the two disciples were also present, but they didn't dare to offend Yu Lian, so they acted as if they didn't know anything and just nodded their heads.
...
Xu Jing was the first one to jump down from the Suspended Boat. He landed lightly on the ground and called for the Outer Sect disciples to come down.
Kang Hong led the two female disciples and jumped down from the Suspended Boat first.
Yu Lian followed closely behind, followed by Wu Yao and Liu Gang, Guo Chen.
Lu Ming and Wei Shiyi were behind them. There were still many disciples in front, so they had to wait.
All the disciples left the Suspended Boat. Xu Jing waved his hand, and the Suspended Boat shrunk at a speed visible to the naked eye in front of the Outer Sect disciples. It turned into a beam of dark light and returned to his sleeve.
Xu Jing once again caused them to exclaim in surprise.
"The Blood Forest is right in front of you." Xu Jing stood in front of the group of Outer Sect disciples, putting both of his hands into his sleeves. He said in a serious manner, "You all know that there are no big rules in the Trial of Blood and Fire. As long as you can survive for three days, it will be fine."
"I have a wooden tablet here. Each of you can take one." Xu Jing took out many wooden tablets from his sleeves. They were the size of a palm. He drew a circle in the middle and wrote the word set.
Lu Ming roughly estimated that there were at least fifty of them. Therefore, there were more than fifty disciples participating in this Trial of Blood and Fire.
He couldn't help but wonder how many Power Points could a disciple obtain.
These wooden tablets floated above Xu Jing's head like stars in the sky. He then said, "These wooden tablets contain a trace of my origin energy. It doesn't have much use. However, you can complete the trial, and I can accurately locate your location. Bring you all out. "
"But if one of you is lost or lost, and I can't find you, you will have to bear the consequences yourself"
Xu Jing distributed the wooden plates to each disciple and said in a clear voice, "Let's begin."
There was a small forest trail behind Xu Jing. The path was narrow and quiet.
What they needed to do now was to walk into this small path and head to Blood Forest.
As for what happened along the way, forming a team or going to Blood Forest alone was not something Xu Jing should be concerned about.
Xu Jing only needed to wait for the result.
When they arrived at the Blood Forest on the Suspended Boat, there were disciples from the Outer Sect who had formed a team.
Take Kang Hong for example. She had two pretty female disciples by her side. Both of them were at the Postnatal Blood Condensation Realm, so they should have a good relationship with each other. What was important was the overall strength. With Kang Hong around, they could definitely be considered the strongest team in this Blood Trial.
Yu Lian had Wu Yao, Liu Gang, and Guo Chen by his side. It seemed like there were four of them, but Wu Yao's strength was relatively low. Although the other two disciples were at the Postnatal Blood Condensation Realm, they were still slightly weaker than the two female disciples in Kang Hong's team.
The other Outer Sect disciples were also in groups of three to five. They felt much more at ease as they headed towards Blood Forest.
At the entrance of the small path in the forest, only Lu Ming, Wei Shiyi, a female disciple and a male disciple were left.
However, Wei Shiyi relied on his handsome face to chat and laugh with that female disciple. Clearly, he had the intention of forming a team.
The male disciple and the female disciple had a pretty good relationship before this, but with Wei Shiyi's participation, the female disciple's eyes were all on Wei Shiyi. She could not help but feel resentment, and her gaze was somewhat unfriendly.
Lu Ming didn't care about these things. Right now, he only wanted to enter the Blood Forest and kill wild beasts or kill people to obtain the Power Point when necessary.
This way, he would be able to advance his cultivation realm faster, and wouldn't be bullied and humiliated like his previous self.
Lu Ming took a deep breath and held the Overwhelming Profound Sword tightly. Just as he took a step forward, Wei Shiyi suddenly called out to him, "Junior brother Lu Ming, do you want to come with us? It's very difficult for you to survive in the Blood Forest alone."
Lu Ming looked at him, but he saw a helpless look on his face as he held Wei Shiyi's hand. He wanted to stop the female disciple but did not have the time. As for the male disciple who was unwilling to look at him, he understood that other than Wei Shiyi, the other two disciples didn't welcome him.
Perhaps it was because of Yu Lian.
With Yu Chi supporting Yu Lian, the disciples of Outer Sect who didn't have any background wouldn't dare to offend him, fearing that they wouldn't have any cultivation resources in the future.
However, this was exactly what he wanted. Lu Ming replied, "Thank you, Senior Brother Wei, for your good intentions. I feel that it might be easier for one person to join you, so I won't join you. "
Wei Shiyi said with some disappointment, "Alright then."
The three of them walked into the forest trail.
Xu Jing, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "I don't know whether to say you are young and fearless, or ignorant."
"Maybe both of them are not." Lu Ming said.
"I hope so." Xu Jing looked into Lu Ming's eyes and said, "Kang Hong is right. Your arrogance looks like confidence."
Lu Ming was stunned for a moment and said with slight surprise, "Elder, you heard it?"
Xu Jing smiled and said, "When you reach my level, you will understand what it means to have sharp senses."
"However, Kang Hong is right about one thing. You have to take extra precautions against Yu Lian."
Xu Jing did not say anything.
Lu Ming remembered in his heart that Xu Jing's words were more effective than Kang Hong's.
It was not only because of the difference in status, but also because Kang Hong had been pestering her previous self about buying a sword, which annoyed her previous self.
Therefore, Lu Ming could not help but feel annoyed by Kang Hong.
Xu Jing looked at Lu Ming who walked into the forest trail and murmured, "I hope you are still alive after three days."
Then he jumped and sat cross-legged on the top of a big tree. He closed his eyes and entered a meditative state.
No.
