Xu Nian did not recognize Zhang Longhu and his group. For him, the only person he knew in the entire Celestial One Daoist Sect was Zhao Qixian. Being surrounded by so many people with swords pointed at him upon arrival genuinely frightened him.
Kong Qingquan was overwheld beyond words as he observed Zhang Longhu and the other Disciples of the Celestial One Daoist Sect. Taibai Hall? Zhang Longhu? Had he really reached the Celestial One Daoist Sect? Had he traveled from the Profound Yellow Sect to the distant Celestial One Daoist Sect in just one step? The shock left him speechless.
Seeing that it was Kong Qingquan who had erged, Zhang Longhu also breathed a sigh of relief. "Put down your swords; our guest is a friend, not a foe!" He was also curious as to why Kong Qingquan had walked out of the Array. And it looked as if this young man beside him had pulled him along. What was going on? Who was this young man?
Before he could react, more figures squeezed out from the Teleportation Array. The crowd pushed through, and in just a few monts, hundreds had gathered. Zhang Longhu and his group were squeezed towards the entrance of Taibai Hall.
"Is this the Celestial One Daoist Sect? It looks so grand; even the platform is more spacious than our Sect’s!"
"Not just that, their Great Hall is much larger too, no need to worry about it being crowded."
"Look at the architecture here, high-end and sophisticated. Now look at our own Sect; what was the Ga Designer thinking?"
"Keep it down, didn’t you see Brother Xu’s face has darkened?"
"..."
The Players began discussing openly, leaving Xu Nian both angry and resentful. Are they blaming because the Profound Yellow Sect is too small? If you lot of Chives worked harder, we could not only expand the Profound Yellow Sect but even build the Suspended City. Always complaining in front of outsiders! Pah! Good for nothing!
Xu Nian turned to look at Zhang Longhu, who was dressed in a Purple-Gold Daoist Robe, and stepped forward to bow. "I am Xu Nian, Sect Leader of the Profound Yellow Sect. Greetings, Daoist Zhang!" He had heard of Zhang Longhu’s na but did not know him personally. This was rely a polite greeting. After all, he was about to cause a stir on their territory and needed to establish a good relationship with them beforehand. Once the Players started causing trouble, not even ten bulls could stop them.
Hearing that the Sect Leader of the Profound Yellow Sect had arrived, Zhang Longhu hastily returned the gesture. "So it is Sect Leader Xu. I have long heard of the grandeur of the Profound Yellow Sect, and seeing it today truly is extraordinary." Erging from an Array was no ordinary feat. The Celestial One Daoist Sect prided themselves on being leaders among Daoist sects, yet they couldn’t conjure an Array out of thin air. Rumor had it that the Profound Yellow Sect consisted of reincarnated Immortals; it seed there might be so truth to that.
"Hearing that Your Sect was attacked by Demonic Beasts, I brought my Disciples to assist. May we assess the situation first?" Xu Nian said with a smile.
Zhang Longhu glanced at the Profound Yellow Sect Disciples, his astonishnt deepening. Every single one at the Grandmaster Realm?! You’ve got to be kidding! Where did the Profound Yellow Sect get so many talented Disciples?
"Oh, those strange beasts... Demonic Beasts! They are roaming in the Forest Sea of the Back Mountain," Zhang Longhu hurriedly explained. "Sect Leader Xu, please follow ; I will take you all to the Forest Sea imdiately. We greatly appreciate the Profound Yellow Sect’s intervention. Should you need anything in the future, please don’t hesitate to ask."
He imdiately led the people from the Profound Yellow Sect towards the Back Mountain Forest Sea. Kong Qingquan remained frozen in place, staring blankly at the nearby Teleportation Array, clearly unable to grasp the situation.
Everyone moved swiftly and soon reached the mountain entrance of the Back Mountain. Here, they could already hear the constant howling emanating from the dense woods on the mountain. It sounded like wolves, along with other odd noises. A number of Disciples from the Celestial One Daoist Sect had been injured and were gathered at the mountain entrance, waiting to be taken for treatnt.
Just as Zhang Longhu was about to explain the situation, the Players from the Profound Yellow Sect had already beco restless.
"Brothers, charge, for Contribution Points!"
"The First Kill of the Third Test is mine! I, Long Aotian, have spoken! If anyone disagrees, co and slay !"
"Charge, charge, charge! I want to capture a Demonic Beast as a mount!"
"Soone hand a knife, I still don’t have a weapon! Can anyone lend one?"
"..."
The Players shouted and charged headfirst into the Dense Forest. Xu Nian’s face darkened further upon seeing this. Are you all idiots? These are Demonic Beasts! Even Zhao Qixian, in the Foundation Establishnt Realm, was seriously injured. You bunch at the Qi Cultivation Realm, aren’t you just seeking death by going up there? And you rush in with just a wooden stick picked up at random? Are you insane? The Disciples from the Celestial One Daoist Sect still have swords; why don’t you borrow those and use them first?
Flourishing Flowers and other team leaders were much more composed. Although they weren’t in a hurry to rush to their deaths, seeing the Third Test Players charging ahead made their faces turn utterly grim. What the hell? Even if you want the First Kill, at least listen to the plan first!
"Flourishing Flowers, Xuanqing, have your people gone mad?" Junlin said with a perplexed expression. Luckily, they weren’t his Disciples from Lingxiao Hall, or he might have died of anger. How many Contribution Points do these Third Test Players even have? Enough for several deaths?
Old Mo comnted from the side, "Maybe they haven’t even practiced Martial Arts? Even if Martial Arts are shared, they still need to spend Contribution Points to advance."
Hearing this, the Veteran Players who stayed behind all changed their expressions. So these Third Test Players were just here to die?
Initially, Xu Nian had harbored so hope for the Third Test Players, thinking they could serve well as Chives. Now, it seed he had been too optimistic. These weren’t Chives; they were utterly mindless!
Xu Nian took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Follow inside to see what Demonic Beast it is."
With that, he led Junlin and his team into the Dense Forest.
Seeing that the people from the Profound Yellow Sect had all entered the Dense Forest, Zhang Longhu also ca to his senses from the shock. It was often said that the Disciples of the Profound Yellow Sect were fearless in the face of death. Today, he had witnessed it himself. Truly fearless. No wonder people in the Jianghu were wary of them; it all made sense. If a group of Grandmasters rushed at you, fighting to the death, wouldn’t you be scared?
"Head Priest, are they going to their deaths?" a young Daoist asked, looking puzzled. Watching the Profound Yellow Sect Disciples rushing forward, they were completely stunned. Even they, the Disciples of the Celestial One Daoist Sect, wouldn’t dare to charge like this.
"People of the Profound Yellow Sect are reincarnated Immortals; they surely have their thods. Don’t worry!" Zhang Longhu turned and said, "Send the injured Disciples back imdiately and inform Martial Uncle Zhao about the situation here. By the way, where is the Sub-Sage? Why don’t I see him?"
「In the Dense Forest.」
Third Test Players, eager for the First Kill, beca reckless. As they rushed in, they saw a Black Wolf Demonic Beast tearing apart a corpse underneath a tree, and their eyes lit up with excitent.
"The First Kill is mine!"
The Player with the ID "Light and Easy to Push Over," holding a wooden stick, charged forward.
The Black Wolf Demonic Beast, sensing the Qi Cultivation Realm aura emanating from him, imdiately abandoned the corpse. Seeing the player rushing forward, the Black Wolf Demonic Beast leaped, pinning Light and Easy to Push Over to the ground.
"FUCK, SAVE , SAVE !" Light and Easy to Push Over, facing the Black Wolf Demonic Beast upfront, scread in terror.
The Players following behind were also taken aback. Defeated just like that?
The next mont, the Black Wolf Demonic Beast bit into the neck of Light and Easy to Push Over.
Light and Easy to Push Over—dead!
Looking at the Teleportation Array beside him after Resurrection, Light and Easy to Push Over was baffled. What happened? He, a cultivator in the Qi Cultivation Realm, was killed instantly?
"Ga Designer, are you insane? A low-level mob can instantly kill a high-realm player?"
"I curse your entire family!"
Light and Easy to Push Over cursed, then rushed toward the Back Mountain entrance in a hurry.
Just as the other Players were thinking of grouping together, the Black Wolf Demonic Beast suddenly tilted its head back and roared.
"AWOOOO—"
At this sound, rustling noises ca from the deep forest. Soon, more Black Wolf Demonic Beasts erged, their erald eyes gleaming with cruelty.
Seeing the Black Wolf Demonic Beasts in front, the Third Test Players panicked. Instinctive fear completely overtook them at that mont. Even knowing it was just a ga, they couldn’t suppress their inner fear.
"Fuck, these beasts live in groups?"
"Their damage instantly kills us! How are we supposed to fight? We’re surrounded now!"
"Scared my ass! There are only about a dozen of them, and there are hundreds of us! Are we really scared of these beasts?"
"You’re right, brothers, let’s charge."
"If you’re going to charge, just do it. What’s the point of just shouting here and not charging?"
"..."
When Xu Nian and his team arrived, the sight of the corpse on the ground gave him a headache. Which idiot with a stick bit the dust? Luckily, there were only about a dozen Black Wolf Demonic Beasts. Not very difficult for the Players; with Junlin and other top fighters here, he wouldn’t need to step in and help.
"It’s different from the ones we saw in the Nine Dragons Secret Treasure," Old Mo spoke. "I’ll go test the situation first. Panda, give a buff!"
Poisonous Panda blew a tune.
Empowered by the buff, Old Mo activated the Eight Gates Escape Armor, appearing imnsely vehent.
The Third Test Players watching this scene were imnsely envious. Eight Gates Escape Armor! Those who understood it knew its terrifying power.
"Finally saw the Eight Gates Escape Armor! Brother Mo truly is the First Combat Power."
"In terms of taijutsu, I, Madara, declare Brother Mo the strongest!"
"Brother Mo, go for it, take them down!"
"Charge, charge, charge! I’m Brother Mo’s fan from now on! Brother Mo, go for it!"
"..."
Old Mo charged into the wolf pack, slamd his hands on the ground, and spread his legs wide as a terrifying aura condensed around him.
"Leaf Cyclone!"
Old Mo spun his hands, his body twisting and rotating fiercely as his feet lashed out in a flurry of kicks. The dozen or so wolves couldn’t even touch him. With that single move, all dozen Black Wolf Demonic Beasts were sent flying—but only sent flying. These Demonic Beasts apparently had high defense. Even Old Mo, having activated the Third Life Gate of the Eight Gates Escape Armor, couldn’t kill them in one hit.
High HP, high defense, flexible attacks? Old Mo muttered.
Realizing they were no match, the Black Wolf Demonic Beasts quickly scrambled up from the ground and fled deeper into the forest.
Knowing not to chase a desperate enemy, Old Mo didn’t pursue but dusted off his Fire Cloud Wind Robe.
"It’s doable, but I’d have to activate the Du Gate," Old Mo explained. "These Demonic Beasts have high HP and defense, so it’ll take so effort. We’ll need a team, preferably a large one. To fight them solo, you’d need to activate at least the Third Life Gate of the Eight Gates Escape Armor."
