The flags were four meters in height and stuck closely together. The view inside was totally covered up. The middle-aged man placed his hands back and stared at the candidates. All candidates then stopped chatting and remained silent. "This is an illusion array. All candidates are required to enter the array one by one." "Illusion array?"

If you can''t, we shall see the situation in the array." Do not need to break the array? Everyone became even more curious about the illusion array in front of them. The middle-aged man asked a disciple behind him to distribute wax balls to candidates. "There will be combat inside the array. Nothing inside will threaten your life. If you cannot take it anymore, just crush the wax ball, and the illusion array will disperse. You can then leave the array. However, I have to warn you now. The moment you crush the wax ball, the assessment comes to an end. The timing you crush the wax ball and the length of time you can stay in the array will be taken into consideration for the assessment." He said. Combat? The key information in the middle-aged man''s words was clearly captured by the candidates. Though he mentioned combat, their life would not be threatened. Furthermore, it was mentioned earlier that they did not need to break the array. It seemed like this assessment was just to test how long they could last in the array. Everyone was not that nervous after figuring out the rules. Even if they could not break the array, they just needed to spend more time in the array. It would not be very difficult. 43 Sect entrance test 3 The young man around the age of 18 stood first.Are you ready to enter the array?"

The middle-aged man raised his hand, and a path emerged from the closely arranged Eight Trigrams flags. The path was covered entirely by fog, and no one could see the view inside clearly. "Enter." A command was given. The young man then walked towards the illusion array. His giant body disappeared from view after he stepped into the fog. The Eight Trigrams flags assembled back and enclosed the entire array. "I think that young man will be inside for quite a while. The longer you stay inside, the better it is. Even if you can''t break the array, you can also drag out time inside." One of the candidates murmured. "That''s true. It''ll take at least two to three days to assess the hundreds of us." Just when everyone thought that they would have to wait for at least half a day, a formidable roar came out of the illusion array all of a sudden. The roar seemed to make the cloud layers below them to tremble. "Ahhhhhhh!!" A horrifying scream was heard along the roar of the beast. The piercing scream seemed to be able to tear people apart. The two sounds hit everyone like a flash of lightning. Previously relaxed people were now all covered with goosebumps. "What was that?" "What is in the illusion array?" The roaring sound of the beast greeted their ears constantly. It totally destroyed the calmness among everyone. Such a deep roar had to be made from an extraordinary demonic beast. Was there a powerful demonic beast holding down the illusion array? Suddenly, everyone''s good moods disappeared.

A path emerged from the Eight Trigrams flags instantly, and a man fled out in panic from the array. The young man who just entered the array a few moments ago was now pale and sweating heavily. The calmness he had before entering the array was long gone, and only a few scratch marks were left on his face now. No one knew what he had just encountered in the array. However, his reaction just now really shocked everyone who was present. 44 Sect entrance test 4 Next." The middle-aged man took a quick glance at the young man and commanded. The second candidate shivered. He was totally taken aback by the previous candidate''s reaction. However, he had no choice but to step into the array. Everyone was having some deep thoughts after the second candidate entered the array. They looked towards the first candidate subconsciously. The young man was still panicking and upset. Everyone knew what the situation was now, and no one asked him what he encountered in the array. The rules of the sect assessment did not allow candidates to reveal such information. Furthermore, as a result of the competition happening between the candidates, the candidate would not give them any answer even if they asked.

However, the roaring sound of the beast rose one after another. Soon, a streak of blue fog was seen, and this represented the end of the second candidate''s assessment. Even though he lasted slightly longer than the first candidate, the duration was still alarmingly short. Based on this speed, they would need only less than half a day to assess the hundreds of candidates here. The next few candidates who entered the array all did not last very long. All of them came out with pale faces as if they had seen something terrifying. The candidates who were still waiting were close to breaking down. More than half of the candidates had finished the assessment in less than half a day. Yu Xiuwen from Yu family who was one of the four royal family,would be the next one now. He took a deep breath and stood in front of the array. He squinted his eyes as the array slowly opened up a path. Eventually, he walked in. Among the clouds and fog, Yu Xiuwen did not have a clear view in front of him. He took a few steps forward, and the fog suddenly dispersed. He saw himself standing in a forest, and a pair of red eyes were staring at him through the gaps of the branches. 45 Sect entrance test 5 At the next second, a giant beast walked out of the forest. It was a level five demonic beast with a height of five meters. Its body was full black in color, and its tusks were shimmering under the light. Its deathly red eyes stared at Yu Xiuwen¡ªthe only living creature in front of the beast.

A level five demonic beast was not something that the candidates could handle as they had not gone through any training. "What''s wrong? How can a sect assessment be so difficult?" Yu Xiuwen frowned. He did not even wish to beat the beast. He would celebrate in joy if he could escape from it. When Yu Xiuwen was contemplating, the beast roared in rage. Its giant body flew towards him. Yu Xiuwen held the wax ball tighter, but then he remembered what the middle-aged man told them. "Nothing inside would threaten your life." A thought came through his mind, and he gave up the opportunity of crushing the wax ball. He immediately pulled out the sword by his waist and blocked the beast''s attack. He could feel a heavy weight from the sword, but such strength was totally incomparable with that from a real level five demonic beast. Yu Xiuwen''s eyes sparkled, and he dashed forward with his sword. As time passed, Yu Xiuwen spent a much longer time in the array than all previous candidates. The middle-aged man''s face softened. Though there were some candidates who lasted inside for quite a while, Yu Xiuwen was in a much better state compared to them. A streak of blue fog emerged after a long time. Yu Xiuwen appeared outside the array the next second. His face was not pale but still not very pleasant. Though he found out the trick of the array, he could not find a way to break it. He could only crush the wax ball before he ran out of energy. However¡­ Yu Xiuwen took a breath and looked towards Xun Shu of Xun royal family. He believed that the duration he spent inside the array was much longer than all previous candidates. "Yu Xiuwen, you can now go to the next assessment location." The middle-aged man spoke to him slowly. He was quite satisfied with Yu Xiuwen''s performance. Yu Xiuwen spent quite a long time in the array, so all previous candidates had already moved on to the next assessment location. Lu Xiuwen nodded slightly. He smiled and left. "Next." The middle-aged man said. Xun Shu nodded and walked into the array. 46 I Like you @@ Edward suddenly stopped saying, seeing the twilight and smiled. "What happened?"Liu Fie asked.

Candidates, who had been afraid for a long time, heaved a heavy sigh of relief at the second segment of the assessment. After going through the unpredictable illusion array, the second segment unexpectedly looked very easy. At least¡­ They did not need to be worried about being frightened anymore.

This hit with all his might only made a faint dent on that stone slate that was a finger thick.@@ 51 Sect entrance test 7 The candidate who landed the punch was dumbfounded. As he looked at the faint and almost invisible dent, his face which was full of confidence a moment ago turned a little stiff. How could this be?! The candidate widened his eyes as he looked at the dent, which was at most the thickness of a leaf, repair itself bit by bit. The whole slate returned to its initial state before his eyes as though he had not touched it at all before. "This¡­ this slate¡­" "Next," the middle-aged man directly ended the candidate''s assessment without giving him any time to struggle. The stiff-faced candidate was instantly like a defeated rooster as he left dejectedly. "It shouldn''t be? No matter how bad, a punch from a person with an orange spirit root should be able to break such a thin piece of stone. How can it be?" Discussions over the strangeness of the stone slate started amongst the candidates. This seemingly simple third segment appeared to be completely different from what they thought. Xun Shu''s eyes swept over that stone slate, and a bright light glistened in his eyes suddenly after thinking for a while. "This is the Invasive Stone!" The Invasive Stone was an extremely rare mineral. Although it looked like there was no difference from normal stones, this type of stone possessed ductility that normal ores did not. It was completely different from the other stones that could be broken easily and was, instead, extremely ductile. If one used only their strength to hit it, all the strength would be resolved by the Invasive Stone, and there would not be a single bit of damage on it. The candidates, who thought it was merely an easily broken stone slate, felt dark clouds looming over them upon hearing "Invasive Stone". If one had no understanding of the fist intent for a long period of time, it would be difficult to punch a hole in this thing even if one were to punch it for ten days and night straight. The group of people was about to cry. It was all because they were too naive to see Qin Sect''s trap! After knowing that it was the Invasive Stone, the subsequent candidates did not dare to use pure force to hit it. However, they were all quite young, and even if they practiced martial arts from young, they still had a very limited understanding with regards to the fist intent. Moreover, QinSect was famous for its Sword Faction, and most of the candidates were talented in swordsmanship. As for fist intent¡­ they really did not know much. Candidates went forward one after another. Most only managed to make a faint dent on the Invasive Stone like the first candidate, while others who were slightly better were able to make a dent as deep as half a finger. Yu Xiuwen was relatively outstanding in this segment. With a punch, he almost broke the Invasive Stone and even spread his strength, shattering dents all over. Streaks of tiny cracks appeared on the ever-ductile Invasive Stone for the first time! "The Formidable Heavens Royals have always spent time on training martial arts," Elder Lin said. At the location of assessment, Yu Xiuwen was satisfied as he looked at the result of his punch and retreated to a side.

In the case they would meet a level eight ferocious wild beast, Jing Feng wanted to let Edward fight it. After all, in Jing Feng''s eyes, Edward was nothing but a piece of trash.

"Edward, this is not the right situation to show off your abilities", Jing Yun said worryingly. Even though they had never seen Edward in a fight. It was too late, he had already dashed forward before anyone could stop him. The brutal ape saw that he actually had the audacity and impertinence to move forward to attack. It stamped furiously on the ground with its thick muscular legs making the ground vibrate under its steps, as its colossal body was speedily advancing towards Edward.

Therefore the waves, at the moment when they hit the brutal ape, must have reached an explosive power close to 9000 jin. At that moment though, the brutal ape stood back up, letting out a bloodcurdling roar and sending itself into a frenzy.@@ 83 Fight with hell wolf Seeing the face of a Hell Wolf was so unbearable that Jing Yun covered her mouth with both hands. She started shaking out of pure fear. "The hell wolf is a level nine ferocious wild beast. Within the group of ordinary beasts, he is by far the cruelest one. It likes to eat people slowly one bite after the other without immediately killing them which makes your death a long and excruciating one" Said Qing Yi with a trembling voice. It seemed that they had just run into the one monster that every Cultivator feared the most when coming to the Black Wind Mountain: the hell wolf.

Edward said with a grin: "You attempted to throw me to my death, you thought I was just going to trust you?" "You have no choice, otherwise everyone will die" said Jing Feng boiling with rage, while continuing to move backwards. "I don''t think that way though. It seems like you haven''t fought yet. You want to live off us without moving a single finger. I am not willing to feed a piece of trash for free though" said Edward, his grin getting bigger. Edward had thrown Jing Feng''s own words back in his face. While talking, Edward glanced at the others who were standing by him to make them retreat to a safe distance. Jing Yun and the two others retreated without a second thought. The hell wolf they were facing would only kill them if they confronted him. Besides, Jing Feng''s recent behavior had bitterly disappointed them. Free from affectation, they were not going to rush ahead and help. "Alright" said Jing Feng while looking at them in anger. A sharp slice of air was suddenly formed by a bright and splendid sharp sword which appeared behind Jing Feng''s body. "Sword spirit." Edward was astounded. No wonder that guy was so arrogant. Amongst all the spirits that existed, the sword spirit was one of the strongest and most powerful spirits. Those who possessed the sword spirit could carry out powerful sword attacks and kill in one hit. Because the sword spirit was a powerful one, many Cultivators who didn''t possess the sword spirit practiced hard to develop their sword skills. For example, Qing Yi who possessed a wind spirit was extremely quick which enabled him to be skillful and agile at using a sword. The long sword was unsheathed and such a dazzling gleam shone that it blinded everyone. 95 Assassination 2 Few hours later... The dense forest was quiet and serene. Occasionally, a few smaller beasts would leap across the forest ground, startling the birds resting in the trees. The serene atmosphere lasted for a short while before it was suddenly disrupted by a terrible looking figure that frightened away all the birds in the trees. Ignoring the disruption he had just caused, the distressful looking shadow scurried away. Occasionally, his terrified face would sweep a glance towards his back as though there was an ancient ferocious beast that was chasing after him. After running for some distance, this human figure lifted his head and stared at the light just a short distance away. An uncontrolled happiness surfaced on his face. Once he escaped this irritating dense forest, he would be able to call upon his companions to save him. When that time came, he would no longer need to fear the death god that was after his life. The assassin''s body suddenly charged forward. He jumped and fiercely stepped onto a tree branch. Instantly, his figure shot towards the light with an explosive force. With the bright light which was almost by his side, the uncontrolled happiness on the assassin''s face grew increasingly denser. However, a moment later, the happiness suddenly froze as the assassin realised that a fierce suction had abruptly appeared. Not only did the suction forcefully halt his advance, it even pulled his body backwards. A startled look covered his face. Before the assassin could shout, a black figure flashed passed him. An enormous, breaking wind accompanied by a the sound of muted thunder smashed heavily onto his chest. "Bang!" The deep muffled sound caused the assassin to shut his eyes tightly as his chest sunk inwards.

The enormous force caused the assassin''s body to fall from midair and crash painfully into the ground, scattering the soil. Along the damaged organs, fresh blood violently spurted all over the place. His enormous pair of eyes stared intently at the human figure standing on a tree branch above him. Gradually, the eyes became white and a moment later, the assassin''s breath was extinguished¡­ Staring indifferently at the assassin whose breath was extinguished, the young man who was standing on the tree branch slightly tightened his hands. In a soft voice, he whispered, "The eleventh¡­. since you wish to take other people''s head in exchange for money, you should be mentally prepared for others to kill you." 101 Assassination 8 A human figure shot out abruptly from within the small bushes. The Heavy Xuan Ruler in his hand was as quick as lightning as it cut out three traces of broken wind. Following three muffled sounds, fresh blood rained down and permeated the sky. The heads of the three Magical Beasts fell from the sky. The flying Magical Beasts were killed on the spot. The six Assassin on their backs let out terrified screeches as their faces became pale. Their quick falling speed made the wild wind, blowing past, to force their screeches back into their throats. Once he killed the three flying Magical Beasts, Edward ignored the falling assassin.

He glanced at the only flying Magical Beast in the sky. Without saying any unnecessary words, he flapped the wings on his back and swiftly pounced over. "Hurry up and leave!" The middle-aged man''s face was completely pale as he eyed Edward who was shooting over. An eagle-like cry was hurriedly released from the middle-aged large man''s mouth. Immediately, the remaining flying Magical Beast swiftly rose into the air, attempting to escape. "Si" The Magical Beast had just increased its altitude when a seven-colored light once again surfaced. It was like a sharp arrow that directly shot through the chest of assassin beside the large middle-aged man who was already frightened by the deaths of his companions until his face was pale. Hot, fresh blood spilled from behind the large middle-aged man, and finally splashed onto his neck. The blood was originally warm, yet it caused the middle-aged large man to feel a chill, and regret swelled forth from his heart. He regretted being so greedy, and the decision he made to involve these people so deeply within the chase. "Since you are here, why do you want to leave?"A black shadow abruptly rose in the empty space in front of him. Finally, in a demonic manner, he raised the heavy ruler with his hand and pressed his toes gently on the head of the Magical Beast. His smiling face was like an evil demon in the eyes of the large middle-aged man. "If you want me to die, you can also forget about getting away so easily!" Having no room to retreat, the large middle-aged man clenched his teeth ferociously. He tightened his grip on his longsword and let out a fierce laughter. The Dou Qi on his entire body surged as he shot explosively toward Edward while carrying a powerful force. Edward watched the large middle-aged man who had charged over with the intent to kill. He gently lifted the heavy ruler in his hand and stepped on the head of the Magical Beast with his toes. His body shot forward like an arrow. As the sound of two swords collided rang out, the two figures also intertwined and passed one another. Edward''s hand held the Heavy Xuan Ruler. He flipped his hand and inserted it onto his back before whistling with his mouth into the air. A seven-colored light rushed into his sleeves. He then flapped the pair of wings on his back, turned his head, and eyed the large number of small black spots which had suddenly appeared in the distant horizon. A cold smile appeared on his face as his body swiftly landed on the ground. He immediately disappeared into the extremely dense forest. From the moment he stored his ruler until he left, he did not even take a single glance at the large middle-aged man who was still maintaining his stance of lifting his sword. Not long after Edward had disappeared, the large group of small black spots coming from the distant horizon, gradually and finally magnified. They immediately carried a wild wind that spread throughout the sky as they arrived at the spot which had just undergone a big fight. 106 Its actually her The oldest Assasin waved his hand and suddenly pointed in the direction that Edward was fleeing before crying out coldly. "'' Maintain the formation. Change positions and head toward the south to search. Pay attention to the thing that is running at great speed within the forest." "Yes!" An orderly response reverberated through the sky. Within the forest, , who was moving swiftly also appeared to have sensed the change in the other party. He let out a cold laugh as his footsteps hurriedly paused. He twisted his body forcefully and actually changed his position before running again. "Dammit. That cunning fellow has changed his direction!" Not long after Edward had changed his position,their faces immediately became green as they angrily cursed and chased towards the direction where Edward went in the jungle. However, the chase this time around similarly did not last for very long before Edward once again swiftly changed his position. "Follow!" The white haired old man in the sky had a green face as he said in a cold thick voice. "The sky is finally becoming dark." Edward sighed in relief as he lifted his head and eyed the sun which had descended halfway past the horizon. These fellows were actually waiting for reinforcements." Edward appeared to have understood something in that instant. He immediately cursed angrily as his body flashed before entering into the dark shadows. The presence all over his body was withdrawn to the extreme. His gaze also stared intently at the flowing light which was swiftly flashing over. The flowing light instantly cut past the skyline and finally came to a sudden stop in front of the group of Assasin. The bright light gradually faded, revealing the graceful and noble figure of a beautiful woman. " Leader!" When she appeared, everyone on the surrounding flying Magical Beasts, including the three Elder Assasin all hurriedly bowed. Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting. "Yes." She responded faintly. Her beautiful eyes swept across the dense forest in the darkness below. A complicated expression flashed across her pretty face. The cold, delicate, and handsome face of the young man once again surfaced in her mind. "It is actually her." Edward gently clenched his fist within the darkness and said softly with a cold smile. 113 Old Days "Go, leave , Otherwise, they will definitely not let you off. ." She waved her hand. Her soft voice held an exhaustion that was difficult to hide. Being caught between both parties had really caused her to feel extremely tired. Edward looked deeply at the woman with a graceful figure. A long while later, he said softly, "Thank you very much. However, I will return to Lost City. I will definitely return!" She was a little angry at Edward''s stubbornness. She waved her sleeves angrily and said, "I will definitely not let you off the next time we meet! I am too lazy to bother about whether you live or die!" Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting. "The next time we meet, you may not have this chance to let me go. Because I am also not sure just when I will return." Edward shrugged his shoulders and eyed her furious, but pretty face. For some unknown reason, some warmth actually surfaced in his originally icy cold heart once again. Perhaps, the girl in the Lost City back then had not really disappeared. As he thought of this point, Edward''s heart suddenly had an additional feeling that was difficult to describe with words. He turned around and took a few steps forward to stand in front of her. The two of them looked at each other. "Why are you not leaving?" Her gaze could not resist dodging Edward as she said with a mild anger when the latter''s dark black pupils stared intently at her. At this moment, her emotions were a mess that she could not straighten out. Logic told her that given the duty and power that came with her status, she ought to immediately capture this fellow who dared to challenge the royal family and bring him back. However, a certain strange feeling blocked her logic. It was due to this that there was a change in her palm attack earlier as it moved toward her target. "I believe that the current you is more like the girl that I met in the Lost City." Edward inspected the graceful, pretty face which was originally covered with a sense of nobility. At this moment, it had some of the panic of a young lady. Edward was suddenly reminded of the charming and warm days. His originally cold voice had become much softer. 117 Life and death battle 1 As a rule, Qin sect''s disciples were not allowed to force their way into other disciples'' rooms. Many disciples preferred to cultivate in their room and being disturbed by others could have serious consequences on their cultivation. Therefore Jin Heng hadn''t dared break the sect''s rules to disturb Edward in his room and he had been waiting outside for two days. JinFeng''s eyes revealed his murderous intentions. Edward face was calm but inside he had a cold smile on his face. QinSect had a rule which stipulated fellow disciples who entered the Life or Death arena were not allowed to directly kill each other. Many disciples would leave opponents with only an inch of life remaining. Many would die on their way to receive medical treatment and the lucky ones would not die but be maimed for life. The strong were the ones who dictated the rules here. The strong killed the weak, this was the law of this world. Any rule could be broken with enough strength, but the law of the world remained the same. Edward started walking towards the Life or Death arena. \"Trash, Coward, you don''t dare?\" said Jin Heng sarcastically seeing that Edward ignoring him. \" Considering Lin Feng''s abilities he was able to jump down the cliff but he wasn''t going to show his skills because if Lin Heng saw, Lin Heng would notice how strong Lin Feng was and would run away like a scared dog. He did not want to miss this rare opportunity and grabbed the iron chains to climb down. . They had finally arrived at the Life or Death arena. There was no grass or trees, only a sand covered landscape with large rocks piercing the surface of the sand like small mountains. Some Qin Sect''s disciples were passing by and couldn''t help but stop and watch when they saw Jin Heng and Edward. They wanted to see a fight which could be the end of another cultivator. \"Hehe, I really wouldn''t have thought that a piece of trash like you would dare come. Last time you nearly died, but today I will make sure you return in a coffin.\" said Jin Heng while laughing. His laugh was flippant and impudent. Jin Heng wanted to come to the arena and kill Lin Feng, but he never thought Edward would agree . \"You can always try if you have the ability\" said Edward who felt saying anymore would be wasted breath. 120 Life and death arena 4 " I surrender, Please remember we are in the Stormy Gorge and not in the Life or Death Arena. You cannot act rashly" said Jin Heng in a shaky and fragile voice, who could feel Edward approaching with the intent to kill. "I know." said Edward sounding indifferent. After saying this Edward created powerful waves using his Nine Heavy Waves technique and shot them in Jin Heng''s direction. "BOOM!" Powerful waves suddenly crashed heavily onto Jin Heng pressing him against the ground. Jin Heng had no chance, he didn''t even attempt any resistance. Edward grabbed him using only one hand and threw him directly into Life or Death Arena. Lin Feng then picked up his sword and approached Jim Heng who was struggling to stand after landing so heavily onto the rocky arena. "You are in the Life or Death Arena, so there is no surrender." The crowd looked at Edward, they were speechless in shock. How audacious could one person possibly be? "This wasn''t my decision, I didn''t decide to step in here myself. You are violating the sect''s rules by doing this. How dare you so blatantly break the sect''s rules?" Jin Heng hadn''t expected Edward to throw him into the arena. He started shaking from head to toe with fear. A light suddenly flashed between Edward and Jin Heng sending his head flying into the air. "Does the sect really have such rules? Then I will just have to ignore them" Edward said with a hint of anger as he finally sheathed his sword. These rules obviously do not apply to all disciples. If you are strong enough, if you master enough skills, if you have a high status within the sect, there is one rule: the rule is that there are no rules. It was as if he was daring the elders of the sect to try and punish him for killing other disciples. Edward doesn''t take pleasure in killing people. However when several people tried to kill him even though there was no grudge between them. It enabled Edward to understand that in this world, only the strong would survive. It was a cruel world, therefore if people wanted to kill him, then he would mercilessly kill them. Anyone who attempted to take his life would lose their own no matter their family connections, status or gender; all would be cut down by his sword. "Rules or no rules, they were already dead." Said Edward while smiling. 127 Test passed Edward had realized that if the eight drums didn''t have the potential to attack. If Nine Heavy Waves bounced from the drums to come back at Edward, it was because of the power within the attack. If Roaring Thunder bounced from the drums and came back at Edward, it was because of the power of his Roaring Thunder skill. "The power!" Edward had a bright smile on his face. He suddenly changed the way he was using his sword and each of his attacks became more skillful and elegant. His sword play had become graceful and while each of his movements required unparalleled skill, when used by Edward it seemed as easy as breathing. GOOONNNG" A deep soul piercing sound was heard and it seemed that the sound echoed through the mountains, each vibration making all those present tremble slightly. It sounded like the gods were marching to battle in the heavens and these were the war drums they played. Few moments later, The whole crowd was puzzled. Where did such a loud and terrifying sound come from? They could not think what had caused the sound they had just heard. The Patriarch of the Qin Sect, Nan Gong Ling had chills run down his spine as a light twinkled in his eyes. That was the sound of the drums on the Land of Abyss. Mo Cang Lan was amazed. His eyes were twinkling as well. He gazed into the distance towards a certain mountain range. There was a precipice in that chain of mountains. On that overhanging cliff, there was a small room with eight drums. The drums there had not emitted a single sound in more than a hundred years. "GOOOOONNG" Another drum sound was heard as if it was rushing down from beyond the highest heavens. "That¡­ That''s the second drum! Impossible!" Nan Gong Ling could not believe what he has just heard. Right after that, the smile on his face could not be removed. Only the most gifted and the strongest disciples, referred to as geniuses could make the drums emit a sound. They were looking forward to announcing that the Qin Sect had an outstanding disciple, a true genius among geniuses. Nan Gong Ling could not contain his excitement. It had been more than a hundred years since the beating sound of the drums had been heard. Now he had heard the beating sound of the drums twice. "I don''t know who that disciple is¡­ Unbelievably he was able to pass the test of the Land of Abyss." Said Nan Gong Ling. He was asking himself who had passed the test. "GOOOOONNNGGG"The third beating sound of the drums spread throughout the sky above the Qin Sect. That time, almost everyone in the Qin Sect looked at the heavens with a slight fear showing in their eyes, but some of the stronger disciples could somewhat tell the direction the sound was coming from and nothing more. The strongest disciples knew the sound they were hearing. It had been a long time since they had been so thrilled. Nan Gong Ling was also staring at the sky. The history of the clan dated back a thousand years¡­ and it had been three hundred years since three beating drum sounds were heard. "Phewww¡­" Nan Gong Ling was breathing deeply and struggling to contain his excitement. The Patriarch of the Sect was so young and yet in his generation he would bring untold glory back to the Sect.
