Chapter 108: Chapter 108 - 81: Top-Tier Heterodox Secret Techniques, First to Reach the Tenth Trial

Waited for a moment.

There was no movement inside the Black Spirit Tower.

No one came to make him withdraw from the examination, but rather, some Main Peak disciples accused him of why he killed a fellow disciple.

Wen Jiu ignored them because he knew their anger wouldn’t be changed by anything he said.

"Let’s go."

Wen Jiu patted the dazed Chen Daoqing, and walked up calmly.

Chen Daoqing quickly followed, looking at Wen Jiu with admiration, his gaze even revealing a trace of flattery, "Big Brother, you really hid well before. A Main Peak disciple got kicked to death with just one kick."

"You surprised me too," Wen Jiu replied.

Chen Daoqing smiled bitterly, "It was all because my grandfather forced me, I’ve been thrown into Demon Beast dens several times and barely made it out."

"That’s pretty harsh."

Indeed.

Only a strict master could produce excellent disciples.

"But certainly not as ruthless as big brother you," Chen Daoqing immediately recalled the scene of burning pain from the Illusion Realm earlier.

...

At the same time.

In the Cloud Sect ruins.

Some elders were sighing, others were discussing, but most were marveling at the powerful strength of the Black Corpse.

To kick to death a Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer disciple of the Main Peak, it was imaginable how strong the corpse and the power of the Black Corpse were.

Although there were also reasons due to the location, if it was in an open place, a Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer cultivator would not let the Black Corpse get close, but that’s how battles are, it’s impossible for the environment to always favor the Qi Cultivation cultivator.

But at this moment Bai Jianxin had already stood up, coldly saying, "Murdering a fellow disciple is truly heartless and ruthless. If a person of such character grows up, for Deadman Peak, it would definitely be raising a tiger to invite calamity."

Before Ye Chen could retort, Bai Jianxin had already turned and swept his gaze over the elders, "Everyone, a person who even kills fellow disciples, I suggest canceling his examination qualification, and furthermore, he should be prohibited from joining the Twelve Departments."

As soon as he finished speaking.

There were people who immediately seconded.

Expressing agreement.

The rare smile on Ye Chen’s face suddenly froze, the Thousand-Pound Tyrant Axe had already appeared in his hand, anger surged with murderous intent, "Who dares to deprive my disciple’s rights, I will let them taste the might of the Thousand-Pound Tyrant Axe!"

Xiang Wenlong, upon hearing Ye Chen already refer to Wen Jiu as a disciple, twitched his mouth but immediately stood up to support.

"Elder Bai, clearly it was that Main Peak disciple who used lethal moves first, if you don’t need your eyes, dig them out!"

"Indeed, birds of a feather flock together!" Bai Jianxin, between his eyebrows, also revealed a faint sign of anger.

However.

Just as tensions were mounting between both sides.

A thunderous voice sounded, empty and resonant.

"Continue the examination."

Just four words made the elders dare not say more, all sat back down and no longer mentioned revoking Wen Jiu’s examination qualification.

Only because it was the voice of the Great Elder.

The first under the Peak Master!

In the absence of the Peak Master, everything is decided by the Great Elder!

Since the Great Elder said to continue the examination, did not mention revoking Wen Jiu’s examination qualification, naturally they couldn’t bring it up again.

"Senior Brother!"

But Bai Jianxin seemed unwilling.

Yet the response was cold, "Enough."

Only then did Bai Jianxin sit back, with anger between his brows, but ultimately said nothing more.

Seemingly afraid.

Or seemingly unable.

Ye Chen put away the Thousand-Pound Tyrant Axe, although he didn’t turn anger into joy, he still bowed in the direction the voice came from.

"Thank you, Senior Brother, for upholding justice!"

But this time there was no response.

Ye Chen didn’t mind, after sitting down his gaze returned to the light curtain, watching Wen Jiu slowly ascend to the seventh floor.

Though his face showed no joy.

He was already quite satisfied with Wen Jiu.

Good kid.

Actually had such a hidden trick up his sleeve.

The Black Zombie Body can withstand the Sword Dance Technique attacks of the Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer, its corpse body has at least reached Body Refining Fourth Layer, maybe it’s already infinitely close to Body Refining Fifth Layer. Yet this kid has only been nourishing the corpse for three months.

Seems this kid has always liked staying in the Corpse Remains Death Land for a reason.

...

The seventh floor.

The eighth trial.

When Wen Jiu and Chen Daoqing stepped in, what greeted them again was the test of the Illusion Realm.

In response, Wen Jiu tentatively walked inside, and as before, the illusion effects didn’t affect him at all. But this time, Wen Jiu clearly felt that his awakening speed was slower.

However, Wen Jiu was not surprised, after all, his Yin Technique, Law-Devouring Yin Insect couldn’t completely immunize against illusions.

It would be unrealistic.

Yet in the Corpse Nourishing Secret Technique of Golden Cloud Valley, there is an insect specifically meant to break illusions, if there’s time he might cultivate them.

Anyway, since he came to the Main Peak, he doesn’t plan to go back there.

For the next twenty to thirty years.

Even longer.

Wen Jiu plans to stay at Deadman Peak.

Soon.

The seventh layer was traversed without obstruction.

But this time Chen Daoqing didn’t make it through, his will and mind couldn’t support him to reach the eighth level.

This time, Wen Jiu wasn’t surprised, after all, Chen Daoqing’s mentality was once affected by Du Feng’s transformation.

Trapped in the Illusion Realm with Chen Daoqing was a top-grade Spirit Root genius. A top-grade Spirit Root genius being blocked on the seventh layer, just like Chen Daoqing, was indeed ironic and poignant.

After waiting for a while without seeing Chen Daoqing come out, Wen Jiu proceeded to the eighth level, which was the ninth trial.

Only one step away from the tenth trial.

Yet Wen Jiu’s goal was not to pass the tenth trial, but to achieve a score that would satisfy Ye Chen.

Regarding the eighth layer, the test was still conducted in the Illusion Realm. Unlike previous tests, this one tested loyalty, loyalty to Deadman Peak, and the level of illusion was significantly raised.

Understandably, if not loyal to Deadman Peak, why would Deadman Peak invest a lot of resources in nurturing you?
