Chapter 444 Lies

After Xu Han finished speaking, regardless of how Lu Houde and the others reacted, they consciously walked into the crowd and glanced at Nangong Jing. Then, they smiled and said, "Has it begun?"

Nangong Jing was slightly stunned, but he quickly regained his senses. Just as he was about to announce the start of the trial, Lu Houde's heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly said, "Lord Nangong, this is the trial of the Golden Deacon. This brat is clearly a bronze deacon. He has already passed the time and logically lost the qualifications to participate in the Swordsman Competition!"

Everyone realized this and turned to look at Nangong Jing, wondering how the golden-robed swordsman would handle this matter.

"Elder Lu is overthinking it." At that moment, Nangong Jing laughed, "that sword-wielding pavilion has alway been the most disciplined, "The Copper Enforcer's time is four hours. Although this Young Hero Xu is two and a half hours late, the Copper Enforcer's trial is not over yet. As long as he passes the trial in the remaining one and a half hours, it can also be considered a victory. Of course, if he spends even one more breath, my Sword Handling Pavilion will not allow him to continue participating in the Swordsman Competition."

Naturally, such a statement was reasonable. Everyone around them nodded their heads secretly at that time, agreeing with Nangong Jing's words. However, Lu Houde and the others were clearly not satisfied. They wanted to say something, but before they could say anything, their faces had already turned gloomy and cold. Their hearts immediately jumped, and they could only put away their words in embarrassment.

"Elder Lu, you can rest assured. This trial is extremely strange. Even a Great Evolution Realm expert like Luo Mo has failed here, let alone Xu Han. Even if he passes, this one and a half hours is far from enough." Xing Zhen, who was beside Lu Houde , whispered in his ear.

His words had some basis. After all, two and a half hours had passed since the trial of the Copper Execution Rankings had begun. Apart from the small monk who had only spent half an hour at the beginning, the others who had passed after had all spent more than two hours.

One had to know that they had heard of the young monk. Although he was young, his cultivation base was bottomless. There were few people who could pass through the Dragon Gate Gathering in his hands. Naturally, it could not be measured by common sense. Although Xu Han's cultivation was astonishing, Xing Zhen and the others who had fought with him knew that this youth was far inferior to the young monk's ability.

Hearing this, his unsightly expression slightly slowed down. He nodded his head with a calm brow and said, "This trial is a bit strange. We need to deal with it carefully later. The biggest purpose of this trip is to become a swordsman. If you want to take care of this kid at that time, it will be a piece of cake."

Beside them, Hu Man'er and the other two also nodded their heads, their expressions solemn.

Seeing that the disturbance had subsided, Nangong Jing also announced the start of the trial.

Standing at the front of the line, Yan Zhan gave Xu Han a careful look before walking towards the peak of the Dragon Hidden Temple.

…

At this moment, there were a few people standing rustling on an empty space on the summit of the Hidden Dragon Mountain. Among them were Fang Ziyu and the Guang Lingui . Everyone spread out carefully, and their gazes towards each other were filled with vigilance.

Fang Ziyu was faintly worried. She had passed the trial to climb the mountain. Logically speaking, Chu Chouli, who was her follower, should also be taken to the top of the mountain. However, the other party did not appear. The only possibility that she could think of was that Xu Han had not arrived yet.

This wasn't good news. After all, just as Chu Chouli was worried about, if Xu Han hadn't even rushed to such an important matter, would this youth have encountered some kind of trouble outside? However, she could only worry about not being able to go down the mountain.

Thinking about this, Fang Ziyu could not suppress the annoying thoughts in his heart and carefully observed everyone present. To be able to arrive at the top of the mountain at this time, it was clear that these people were all important figures in the Dragon Gate Tournament.

Strangely enough, more than half of these people were actually Chu Chouli who had talked to her about the dark horses that had suddenly surged out. However, most of them were people on the Silver Execution Rankings, so there was no possibility of fighting Fang Ziyu. The only thing that worried Fang Ziyu was that Guang Lingui. However, the other party seemed to have seen everything that had happened in the Exquisite Pavilion long ago. He only led the girl beside him to say something that was similar to his age, not caring about Fang Ziyu's existence.

Fang Ziyu was somewhat puzzled by this, but Young Miss Fang, who knew the little monk's abilities, naturally would not take the initiative to provoke him. She could only stand quietly and anxiously by the side, waiting for Xu Han or Chu Chouli to appear.

All of the people present had the same thoughts as Fang Ziyu, and no one took the initiative to talk to anyone else.

However, what they did not know was that on the high platform not far away from this open space, a middle-aged man with a fat face stood side by side with a handsome young man who had some similarities to Nangong Jing. He looked at this place.

"Isn't the test set up by the Pavilion Master a bit too strange? It looks like it will be difficult to recruit enough people for the Swordsman Competition this time." The handsome man looked at the rustling figure standing on the empty ground and said helplessly.

"It's better to be lacking than to be lacking." The fat man, however, didn't care, and his narrowed eyes responded.

"Then this is too little." The handsome youth was still puzzled as he muttered softly.

The fat-bellied middle-aged man took out a fruit from his bosom and peeled it off. He ate the fruit in large mouthfuls and replied vaguely, "What's the hurry? Isn't it over yet?"

The handsome young man knew that the Pavilion Master's thoughts were always so elusive. He didn't go into it and cautiously warned, "I heard that Elder Luo Mo from Sunset Cloud Valley was also defeated. He is one of the few experts in Great Xia who could break through to the Immortal Realm. If he can be recruited into the Pavilion."

"Humph!" However, before the youth could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the man's cold snort. "As one of the twelve towns, Sunset Cloud Valley's status has been criticized by many Jianghu people ever since the failure of Luo Honggui to overcome the tribulation." The middle-aged man casually threw the leftover fruit cores behind him with a look of disdain on his fleshy face.

'"The Sunset Cloud Valley needs an immortal, so I practically used all of my sect's strength to nurture Luo Mo. Luo Mo also knows that he shoulders the rise and fall of this sect, so he has been very cautious over the years, but the path of cultivation is to seize the good fortune of heaven and earth. Although there is nothing wrong with reverence, it is like treading on thin ice everywhere. Without any sharpness, I can't reach that step."

Hearing this, the handsome young man seemed to have gained some enlightenment, but he was unable to speak clearly. He could only nod his head vigorously.

The man rolled his eyes and turned to look at the crowd in the distance. His gaze swept across the crowd and finally landed on the little monk who was chatting happily with the girl.

The man frowned. He stared at the figure and asked, "Who is he?"

The youth beside him did not recognize the strange tone of the man's words. He casually replied, "A fellow who came from nowhere is very young but very capable. The Pavilion Master's trial took him half an hour to pass." "Strangely enough, the Crossing Imperial City has not been peaceful lately. I wonder where these monsters came from. In the future, it will be troublesome to enter my Sword Handling Pavilion."

As he said this, he seemed to have opened his mouth and said, "I just received news that the kid who came with Daofather to Heng Imperial City has also arrived at the foot of the mountain. At this moment, he is probably breaking through. You said that Daofather has lived for so many years, so why did he suddenly want to come to our Heng Imperial City?"

"Logically speaking, he should be quite powerful. Why did he almost fall into Xie Min Yu's hands? Could it be that he's getting old and about to die?"

The young man kept on talking, but in order to notice that the man beside him had a serious expression on his face, he had no time to pay attention to him. Suddenly, the man seemed to have thought of something, and a divine light suddenly burst out from his long and narrow eyes, causing his expression to change drastically.

"No! It's him! Li Yulin is lying, he's not dead at all!"
