That night, Yang Xiao invited Ling Feng, Ling Yun, and the other disciples of the Sword Pavilion to gather. He also brought Baili Tusu along. After eight years of seclusion, everyone was a little unfamiliar with Yang Xiao. However, they had already had a friendship back then. Moreover, Yang Xiao was their superior, so the banquet was naturally quite lively.
Eight years ago, Yang Xiao had already displayed extraordinary talent. Eight years later, his cultivation base had advanced, giving everyone an unfathomable feeling. Naturally, they were even more enthusiastic towards him. Even Baili Tusu, who had always been disliked, also enjoyed the rare warm compliments of everyone.
Perhaps it was because he was used to being alone, Baili Tusu was still a little reserved in the beginning. However, he was still a young man, and deep in his heart, he yearned for this kind of casual relationship between fellow disciples. After being treated warmly by everyone, he gradually let go of his restraints and began to chat and laugh with everyone.
This was the effect that Yang Xiao wanted. In the world of Liao Zhai, Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian's life and death relationship had made him very depressed. Although he had used this opportunity to comprehend the secrets of heaven and break through the Primordial Soul Realm, it made him very unhappy. Therefore, he decided to rely on his own strength to change the destiny of the Ancient Sword World and reverse Baili Tusu's fate.
The prince played the zither and was punished by heaven, which could not be broken!
Yang Xiao wanted to try and see if this heaven's will could be reversed.!
As the saying goes, if one follows the natural path, one will become a devil. If this heaven's will is fate's helplessness, then Yang Xiao would rather abandon the path and become a devil than submit to the heaven's will!
The next evening, Yang Xiao and Baili Tusu arrived at the square of the mountain gate. They saw that more than 20 disciples who had come to participate in the trial had already arrived. Everyone reported their names. When they heard Ouyang Shaogong and Feng Qingxue's names, Yang Xiao immediately turned his gaze and slowly looked over.
His cultivation base was profound, and this glance was nothing in the eyes of others. However, Ouyang Shaogong and Feng Qingxue felt a chill run down their spines, as if they had been seen through to their bones.
Ouyang Shaogong was able to maintain his composure due to his Immortal Spirit Body, but Feng Qingxue was shocked. She hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to meet Yang Xiao's gaze.
Fortunately, although Yang Xiao knew the identity of the two people and their purpose of coming, he did not expose them. After sweeping a glance, he said to Baili Tusu,"Arrange for everyone to follow us. We will leave for the Emerald Martial Palace now.”
"Yes, Senior Brother!" Baili Tusu responded, and immediately shouted to everyone,"Everyone, please follow behind me and Senior Brother Yang Xiao.”
Everyone walked quickly. Those who could pass the previous test naturally had good innate talent. Coupled with the secret care of Yang Xiao and Baili Tusu, they were able to keep up.
On the way, Feng Qingxue finally regained her senses. She patted her chest with some lingering fear and said,""Big Brother Ouyang, that Senior Brother Yang Xiao is really amazing!”
Ouyang Shaogong couldn't help but ponder for a while and replied vaguely,""Yeah, this Senior Brother Yang Xiao is indeed very powerful!”
As the two of them spoke, they could not help but recall the gaze that Yang Xiao had used to look at them previously. That kind of meaningful gaze caused them to feel a lingering fear in their hearts.
"Don't tell me he saw through something?" The two of them guessed at the same time.
However, at this point, no one had a choice. They could only continue according to their own plans because their obsessions had already been decided by the heavens.
After more than an hour, they arrived at a forest in the depths of the Emerald Martial Palace. After calculating the time and distance in his heart, Yang Xiao said indifferently,""Alright, let's stop here and have a good rest. The trial will only begin at night.”
Following that, he whispered to Baili Tusu,"I'm going to walk around and see if there's any ambush at Ling Duan. You stay here and take care of these new disciples.”
"Yes, sir!" Baili Tusu responded, and then he stabbed the sword in his hand into the ground and sat down beside him. He was used to being alone, so he remained silent and paid attention to his surroundings. He was surprisingly quiet.
The disciples who came to participate in the Demon-Slaying Trial naturally did not have the right to make decisions. They could only follow whatever Yang Xiao and Baili Tusu said.
As time passed and night fell, the Emerald Martial Palace fell into an indescribable silence. Everyone lit a bonfire and sat around it. They were bored and began to talk.
During the conversation, someone asked curiously,""Look at that senior brother. He's been sitting there for almost four hours. He's not moving at all, like a piece of wood.”
"Could that senior brother be cultivating?" One of them guessed.”
"I don't think so." Immediately, some people objected.
At this moment, another person could not help but ask,"If the monster really comes, do you think he can protect us? Where's Senior Brother Yang Xiao? I heard that he's some Sword Pavilion deacon. He must be an extremely powerful figure. Why hasn't he returned yet?”
At this moment, Ouyang Shaogong laughed mockingly,"" Sigh, brother, I've heard before that there's a spell in the Heaven's Wall City called 'clairaudient.' After mastering it, you can hear the conversations of people thousands of miles away. It's very magical. Be careful what you say. Don't let anyone hear you.”
When the many disciples who were discussing Baili Tusu and Yang Xiao heard this, their hearts trembled and they hurriedly stopped talking.
Someone could not help but ask suspiciously,"Is what you said true?"
Ouyang Shaogong smiled and said," Of course it's true. However, you don't have to worry too much. I heard that this spell has already been lost. Perhaps this Senior Apprentice Brother Tusu doesn't know it at all.”
However, since the words had already been spoken, no one dared to be sure whether Baili Tusu knew this spell or not. All of them shut their mouths and turned to talk about other things.
At this moment, the surrounding air changed. The leaves on the surrounding trees were blown by the wind, making a shuttling sound. They fell one by one. Because it was already late and they were in the wilderness, everyone was shocked. They hurriedly stood up and were worried.
In the depths of the forest, a green stream of light flashed and suddenly jumped down from the tree, rushing straight at the crowd. Then, as the branches swayed, streams of light shot out from the surrounding trees. They were all green and landed on the ground. They turned into various animal forms, as if they were alive, and immediately darted into the crowd.
The many disciples had never seen such a scene before. Immediately, they were in a mess. Some were so scared that they crawled on the ground, some curled up and squatted on the ground, trembling. Some even started to cry loudly... Suddenly, the quiet Emerald Martial Palace became lively.
"Haha…" Yang Xiao, who had just returned from the depths of the Emerald Martial Palace, saw this scene and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
When he went to the valley to investigate, he did not expect to find a large group of monkeys who knew how to brew wine. When he thought of the rumored Monkey Wine, he could not help but be overjoyed. He thought of ways to get wine, so he came back a little late just in time for a good show.
At this moment, Ling Duan and Zhao Lin appeared not far away. Ling Duan took out a purple-gold gourd and a cold smile appeared on his face. Then, he formed a seal and opened the seal.
Suddenly, a long cry broke through the air. Two red three-legged ferocious birds, one male and one female, flew out of the gourd and flew straight into the depths of the valley.
Zhao Lin looked around carefully, then turned around and asked Ling Duan,""Second senior brother, will anyone find out about this?”
Ling Port sneered and replied indifferently,""Humph! It's Eldest Senior Brother Ling Yue's responsibility to discover it. Who asked him to not lock up the demons before leaving the mountain? Let's go, let's go!”
Seeing Ling Duan turn around and leave, Zhao Lin couldn't help but feel a little worried. He gritted his teeth and came in front of Ling Duan."Second Senior Brother, no, it's too dangerous. Someone will definitely be hurt. I have to go back and take a look!”He wasn't a bad person. Although he was led astray by Ling Duan, he didn't want to hurt anyone. As he spoke, he didn't care about Ling Duan anymore. He turned around and ran into the depths of the Emerald Martial Palace.
Seeing this, Ling Duan immediately became anxious. If Zhao Lin was exposed, he would also run. Especially since he was the culprit, the situation would be even more serious. Unfortunately, Zhao Lin was determined to go, and he could not stop him in time. He could only continuously curse,"What an idiot, stupid pig!" As he spoke, he was also worried and quickly fled the valley alone.
