Chu Ling looked at the iron sword that was about to pierce him like lightning, and was extremely furious in his heart, after cursing in his heart, he raised his sword and was about to escape.

However, at that moment, a berating voice rang out.

"Wu Yi, you dare!"

Just as his voice fell, an iron sword shot out from the forest. In the blink of an eye, it glided past Wu Yi's head and cut off a lock of his hair. Obviously, if the person wanted, he could directly take off Wu Yi's head.

Very soon, just as everyone was astonished, an old man with snow-white hair and a slight stoop appeared in front of everyone's eyes. Wu Yi, who was originally overweeningly arrogant, immediately withdrew his sword and no longer said anything.

After all, even though he had heard that this Third Elder in front of him, Zhang Jinsong, only had the same level of strength as him in the Heaven Understanding Stage, he was not arrogant enough to oppose him.

And most importantly, that sword strike just now had completely destroyed his courage. Now, he was begging Zhang Jinsong not to find trouble with him, how would he dare make things difficult for him.

At the same time, Chu Ling heaved a sigh of relief. If Zhang Jinsong was here, then Wu Yi would not be able to do anything to him.

Although Chu Ling really had the thought of throwing Xu Qing to the ground, but looking at it now, although Wu Yi would most likely not be able to do anything to him, and would most likely not be able to move either.

However, he quickly calmed down. There was still a long way to go.

Moreover, the current him could already be considered to have won the trial, becoming the number one of the trials. He could also be considered to have saved the Hundred Sect Order, and had fulfilled the purpose of this trip.

Afterwards, Chu Ling and the rest did not stay any longer, and directly followed Zhang Jinsong and the other two towards the Guiyuan Sect.

After all, it was no longer early. Perhaps, once they returned to the Guiyuan Sect, it would also be the end of the trial.

Guiyuan Sect.

At this moment, within the Guiyuan Sect, there were still two or three Guiyuan Sect disciples who hurriedly returned. Each and every one of them looked miserable, their clothes were tattered, and they looked exactly like beggars.

Not only that, ever since these people had returned, weeping sounds would occasionally come from within the Guiyuan Sect. Especially after seeing that more and more people had returned, the entire sorrowful atmosphere of the Guiyuan Sect became even heavier.

It was obvious that the number of deaths and injuries among the Guiyuan Sect disciples this time was a bit higher than the previous years.

As for those who had returned, almost all of them looked miserable like they were crying for their parents. When they talked about the trial, they were all regretting that they had impulsively entered the Cangmang Mountain Range on a whim.

After all, after entering, even though he did not get two Demon Core, he had almost died in the beast tide.

However, there were also a few lucky ones who coincidentally found a few Demon Core along the way. Currently, they were like stars cupping the moon as they were surrounded by the people in the middle.

"Haha, Sect Master, from the looks of it, Xu Qing has not come back yet, he has clearly reaped a bountiful harvest, I am afraid that she will be the champion of this trial?" Zhou Huan cupped his hands towards Wu Hong, and said flatteringly.

Not bad, there is no suspense for this name, it is just that this old one is very curious, although this Xu Qing's talent is not bad, but how did he become so outstanding after being taught by you, Sect Master, in the future, I will have to ask you to teach me some techniques!

Hearing this, Fan Xian, who was standing at the side, did not seem to be falling behind, which made Wu Hong, who was already proud of himself, smile even more.

Although he didn't teach Xu Qing that much before, for him to have such achievements today, it was probably all thanks to Chu Ling.

And most importantly, the reason why he had accepted Xu Qing back then was largely because after his battle with Chu Han had failed, he had wanted to nurture the evil Xu Qing by Chu Ling's side and suppress him.

However, what he did not expect was that after Chu Ling was crippled, Xu Qing was able to suppress his limelight.

Therefore, Wu Hong was very clear in his heart that in terms of aptitude, Xu Qing was naturally inferior to Chu Ling.

But even so, who doesn't like to be complimented?

Therefore, he didn't try to defend himself, but waved his hand with a smile.

"Hehe, Fan Wei, don't even think about it. Even if the Sect Master were to pass that method to you, you wouldn't be able to learn it. After all, the Sect Master is still the Sect Master, and it is not something we can compare to."

"Sigh!" This is still too early to say, but I feel that Chu Ling is not bad, and maybe he will win this time! "

Although Wu Hong's words sounded humble, everyone knew in their hearts that Wu Hong was definitely the person who won. Now that he said it, it was just to let everyone know how good his judgement was, and how right it was to raise Xu Qing up and give up on him.

In the end, he had not heard enough flattery.

When everyone heard this, they immediately took over the conversation and said.

"Hehe, Sect Master is joking. He is just a trash whose Spiritual Vein were destroyed, how can he be compared with your beloved disciple?"

"That's right, I have long wondered why Sect Master did not accept Chu Ling as a disciple but instead accepted him as a disciple when Chu Ling was the senior. We really admire you. "

"That's right, it seems like, regardless of whether it's his temperament or cultivation, he is incomparable to Xu Qing!"

Everyone continued to talk, causing Wu Hong to be even more excited, but just at this moment, a voice came from an unknown place, causing him to stand up immediately.

"Elder Sister Xu and the others are back!"

Wu Hong slapped his chair, laughed and said: "You're back, they are on time. How about it, are all of you willing to accompany me to welcome them?"

"We'll go, of course we'll go. After all, we are the true disciples of the new generation in Guiyuan Sect. We will naturally go and welcome them."

"That's right, that's right. It's all our negligence. We have to go greet them. Let's leave quickly."

"Then what are we waiting for?" "Let's go!"

"What's the rush? This kind of thing, of course Sect Master has to go first!"

Hearing that everyone agreed, Wu Hong was overjoyed, he immediately flung his sleeves, and took the lead to welcome them.

And at this moment, the Deng Family people who were always outside were actually incomparably sorrowful.

Especially when Deng Baian heard from a returning disciple that Xu Qing was hunting with more than a hundred people, his heart directly sank.

The Deng Family was different from other aristocratic sects', as their entire clan's strongest cultivation was only at Ninth Level of Vein Opening Stage and he himself was only at the seventh level of Vein Opening Stage. It could be said that he was a true nobody in the cultivation world.

This time, he had to directly form the squad because of Deng Yiyue. Although he might not necessarily attract Xu Qing's attention, once Xu Qing emerged victorious and knew about this, he was afraid that he would not even need to personally take action personally, as their Deng Family would completely vanish without a trace.

"Could it be that I really bet the wrong treasure this time around?"
