C45

Inside the cauldron, Lin Yue knelt on the ground. His aura was weak, as though he had used up all of his life force.

"Boss!" "What happened to you!?"

Liu Meng who was outside was originally very happy, but when he saw Lin Yue's current state, his smile immediately turned anxious.

"Lin Yue!" Zheng Wan's face paled slightly as waves of pain in her heart inexplicably shot out.

Lin Yue's current state was already on the verge of collapse. It could be said that he could not even defeat a normal strong man, if he continued to charge forward, he would already have no hope.

Seeing Lin Yue's current state, Lee Jiao's originally worried expression relaxed slightly. The corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a trace of gratification.

"Humph, so what if you've passed this trial? If you lose control, then the only path left is death!?"

The ghost stared at Lin Yue who was inside the cauldron, his eyes shooting out a cold light. This brat was way beyond his expectations, causing him to feel a bit uncomfortable.

But right now, Lin Yue seemed to have already fallen into a fake death state, and had no ability to resist at all.

As long as he could enter the third stage, he would be finished!

This cyan pail Ancient Cauldron was an ancient treasure left behind, and could be considered a guardian treasure of the Netherworld Sect.

It could automatically sense the cultivation of the challenger, and from there, it would create a corresponding level of resistance.

Of course, due to some special reason, other than the power of the formation brought by the Ancient Cauldron, a few powerful elders could also use secret techniques, depending on the situation, to affect the level of the Ancient Cauldron's resistance.

In other words, the strength of the Ancient Cauldron mainly depended on its formation. At the same time, it could accept some of the external influences.

The heavily injured Lin Yue suddenly moved, he then slowly raised his head and looked towards the outside of the Ancient Cauldron.

His five orifices and seven orifices were all blurred by the bloody water. This gaze was like that of an Asura from the underworld. It was ghastly and terrifying, giving others an extremely strong deterrent force.

When Liu Jin saw this, his heart jumped, his entire body became cold, and his throat became extremely dry. He could not help but turn his head, and avoided Lin Yue's gaze.

The rest of the elders also felt a layer of shadow shrouding their hearts, giving them a sense of foreboding.

"Just you wait, I will prove my innocence with Senior Qiu. At the same time, I, Lin Yue, swear that I will never let a true sinner get away with this!"

Lin Yue spoke with great difficulty but with determination, as if with every word, he exerted all his might, and fiercely smashed into the crowd.

The worry on Elder Faang's face became even more obvious, and faint regret surged in his heart.

This brat didn't seem like a good person. His personality was just too stubborn, and he might really become a threat to him in the future.

"Humph!" "Kid, keep this in mind until you pass the three trials!" Lee Jiao laughed coldly again and again, looking at the dying Lin Yue, he shouted.

Above the Ancient Cauldron, a large cloud of smoke was gradually thickening and surrounding the cauldron, it also slowly recovered its essence.

It was at this time that a shocking purple light came from the depths of the Netherworld Sect.

Everyone heard this voice and raised their heads to look at the purple light.

"It's the Master!"

"Master is out!"

When everyone saw the appearance of this person, they were all incomparably shocked.

The ghost's heart moved and a stern look appeared in its eyes. If Lin Yue was allowed to come out alive, it would explain the matter. Once Master investigated and found out that Qiu Tong had been to the Nether Palace, it would disaster for him.

"Kid, don't blame me!"

He suddenly tapped his hand, which was hidden in his wide sleeve, and a ray of green light shot out from his fingertip and into the cauldron.

The smoke at the mouth of the cauldron, which was initially closing at a uniform rate, suddenly increased by several times and completely closed before Lee Fengxue arrived.

"Greetings Master!"

Hulala, the group of elders and disciples all knelt down towards Lee Fengxue.

Lee Fengxue frowned, looking at the sealed Ancient Cauldron, a look of pity flashed past his eyes.

This Ancient Cauldron was an item left behind from the ancient times and was extremely powerful. Once activated, even Lee Fengxue would not be able to stop it.

"Get up," said Lee Fengxue as he saw the Ancient Cauldron close up. He shook his head and waved to the surrounding disciples, allowing them to get up.

There was a surprised expression on one of the elders' face as he asked: "Master, didn't you say that it would take you ten years to exit after you went into closed door cultivation to comprehend the Netherworld Sword Book? This is still a few months away, could the Master have an extraordinary talent and comprehended it beforehand!? "

The rest of the elders and disciples were also feeling very strange, Master entering closed-door training to comprehend Netherworld Sect's absolute art, the Netherworld Sword Book, was the supreme glory of all the previous generations of Master.

According to the time taken for the previous Master to comprehend it, only the founder of the clan came out with eight years of experience, while the rest came out with more than ten years. Thus, in the hearts of the disciples of Netherworld Sect, this standard of enlightenment was ten years.

Lee Fengxue shook his head slightly, and sighed: "This absolute art is extremely profound, the sword manual has nine stages, I have only comprehended the fifth stage, and it is hard to advance any further, I just happened to feel that the disciple with the strongest Martial Soul is trying to pass the three stages, thus I left early."

"Exit early!?"

"Master, this will be detrimental to your cultivation!"

"Yeah, it's just a disciple who has the strongest Martial Soul that is trying to pass the trial. Master doesn't need to worry about it. Your little loss is related to the future of your Netherworld Sect."

"..."

Suddenly, the competition grounds quieted down, only then did everyone notice a certain word from Master's words.

The elders and disciples, who were initially noisy and in disorder, were all focused on the matter of Lee Fengxue coming out of seclusion.

It was as if a cold wind had blew over, causing the people standing in front of the Hall of Heart Trial s to involuntarily tremble.

A moment later, a few elders reacted, their expressions filled with disbelief, and they asked probingly: "Master, you just said that the disciple who passed the trial had an extremely strong Martial Soul?"

Under everyone's nervous gaze, Lee Fengxue nodded.

"Boom!" Receiving Lee Fengxue's affirmative answer, the entire arena exploded into an uproar, like boiling water, all of them having difficulty covering the remorse and panic on their faces.

"Cough cough …" The ghost suddenly coughed twice and looked coldly at the crowd. The rest of them immediately stopped talking and tried their best to hide the fear in their hearts.

"Master, it is not wrong that you can cultivate to the fifth stage of the Netherworld Sword Book. In all of the previous generations of Master, this cultivation can already enter the top ten. With you overseeing the competition, at least within the three thousand sects, our Netherworld Sect will not be demoted."

"As for this kid, he probably relied on his Martial Soul to actually beat up Law Enforcement Hall's disciple, and then took advantage of the strange demon's counterattack to escape the Rare Devil Cave. He was caught by us in time, and has yet to give up.

"This kid is extremely crafty and he refuses to admit it. We can only follow the sect's rules and allow him to pass."

Upon hearing Spirit's words, Lee Fengxue's expression became slightly solemn. His expression, which was a little regretful at first, was no longer visible.

"So that's how it is, he can pass the Martial Soul's suppression barrier, the Martial Soul is not bad, I originally wanted to let him go, but since it's like this, then forget it."

When the others saw the change in Master's expression, they secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Lee Jiao, Elder Faang and the others all looked at Ghost in admiration, thinking that the Ghost was truly worthy of being the Lord Protector.

Liu Jin and the rest looked at the giant cauldron, gloating, and thought to themselves: "This brat Lin Yue, he should have died inside by now, right?"

"I can't die!"

Inside the Ancient Cauldron, time and space did not change Lin Yue's position this time. He was at the bottom of the Ancient Cauldron, with smoke curling up from the top of his head, it looked like a vast sky.

Ever since he was young, he had been scolded and looked down upon by others. In the name of being a trash, he had persisted for more than ten years. The injuries he had suffered and the blood he had bled were too deep.

He fell a thousand times and stood up, but he never gave up.

"As long as I grit my teeth, I can endure it!"

Lin Yue clenched his teeth, and warned himself.

He gritted his teeth and forcefully withstood the attack. This was his usual strategy. No matter what difficulties he faced, as long as he clenched his teeth, bit down, or bit again, he would be able to persevere on!

The blood continued to flow from his body, gradually converging into a small pool at the bottom of the cauldron.

"Drip drip …" A drop of blood flowed down from Lin Yue's face and fell into the pool of blood.

Ripples spread out. This blood pond, which should have been gradually calming down, actually began to shake more and more!

"Gulp!"

At the bottom of the cauldron, a scorching heat quickly spread out, as if a pile of firewood was burning.

The blood pool started to boil, and beads of sweat started to seep out from Lin Yue's pores.

Hot! Hot! Hot!

The third trial had begun, the Demon Refining Furnace! Subduing the Demons!

The cauldron impressively treated Lin Yue as a demon. The formation activated, wanting to completely refine him and absorb the energy of the formation!

This furnace was originally used to refine demons, and the current Lin Yue was a demon amongst the furnace! He wanted to be refined into a pill, and be absorbed by the furnace!
