C76 Start of the Trial
In the west east side of the city, gongs and drums filled the sky, and firecrackers roared in unison. Today was a big day in the west east city, and the three year round of the west east city was about to begin. Today was a big day in the west city, and the three year round of the west city was about to happen.
Other than Dongfang Haotian, Dongfang Siyue, and Dongfang Xingran, all the other participants of the West East Peak's agreement were dressed in the uniform of the Dongfang Family. All of them had strong auras and cultivation bases, the lowest was at the fifth level of the Qi Condensation stage, and the highest was at the eighth level of the Qi Condensation stage.
A sturdy middle-aged man around forty years old stood in front of the group of geniuses. He said with a loud and clear voice, "Today is our West East City's most grand competition. All of you are the talented elites of our Dongfang family. This time, I will leave the honor of the Dongfang family to you, don't disappoint me. "
The aura emitted by the man was incomparably tyrannical. Even Dongfang Lie, who was standing to the side, was dwarfed by him. This person was the Dongfang family's head, one of the big shots of the western eastern city — Dongfang Lin.
Subsequently, Dongfang Lin's gaze descended onto Dongfang Haotian. "Haotian, you'll be the one leading the team for the West East City's agreement this time. Even if you can't obtain first place, you'll have to bring this group of people back as well." Obviously, in the eyes of Dongfang Lin, the safety of the younger generation of geniuses was much more important than the name of the City Governor's family.
"I definitely won't let father down." Dongfang Haotian loudly said.
"Alright, with Second Master Dongfang Lie and elder Dongfang Jian leading the way, I will wait quietly for your good news in the Dongfang family." Dongfang Lin said.
"Understood." Dongfang Lie and Dongfang Jian clasped their hands at the same time.
"Yes."
This scene not only appeared in the Dongfang family, but in other big families as well. Each family's head encouraged the genius juniors of his family, other than the Dongfang family and the Ximen family who had confidence in winning first place, the rest of the families such as the Yang family, the Li family, and the Zhang family only gave their juniors a chance to train. Although the strength of these families was not weak, compared to the Ximen family and the Dongfang family, these two giants were a little difficult to compete with.
The troops from each clan majestically headed towards Demon Black Mountain. The citizens of the city were watching from both sides of the street. The talented juniors sat on their horses and enjoyed the envious gazes of others, feeling extremely comfortable.
On the Dongfang family's side, the two people who should have been leading the group were Dongfang Jian and Dongfang Lie. However, at this moment, only Dongfang Jian was left. However, Dongfang Lie was walking at the back, together with Xingran, Siyue, Hanxuan, and Yan Xi.
"You must not kill the people of the Ximen family in this exam, otherwise, you will break the rules." Dongfang Lie said.
"Second Uncle, but they are the culprits behind Big Brother Han Bing's death." Xing Ran said angrily.
"Xingran, I know that Han Bing's death is related to the Ximen family, but if you want to take revenge, it will not be now, but when you become stronger." Dongfang Lie said, "With your talent, you can reach the legendary state. After that, you can destroy the entire Ximen family by yourself. If you expose yourself too early, it will only harm you. "
"But, Second Uncle." Xing Ran hadn't finished when he was interrupted by Dongfang Siyue, "Xing Ran, be good."
"Alright, Second Uncle, when the time comes, you have to help me."
"No problem, when the time comes, Second Uncle will definitely help you." Dongfang Lie couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief when he saw Xingran agreeing. He turned around and said to Siyue, "Siyue, look after your sister."
"Don't worry Second Uncle, I will." Siyue nodded.
But would they? Of course not. The four of them had already decided that they would kill Xi Men Yun Zhan in the Demon Mountain Range no matter what.
Outside of the Demon Black Mountain, there was already a sea of people. However, the area near the inn was a bit spacious and was prepared for the great clans. Naturally, the spectators wouldn't enter that place.
Seeing the people from the Dongfang family come, a middle-aged man in a white robe with a sharp gaze walked up to them and said enthusiastically, "Everyone from the Dongfang family has arrived. How has elder Dongfang Jian been?
"He is still alive. He has dragged the Second Master of the Xi Men family down." Dong Fang Jian said.
"Elder Dongfang Jian sure knows how to joke around. Yo, isn't this Brother Lie? You're here too?" The second master of the Xi Men family said in surprise as if he had just seen Dongfang Lie.
"He's here. How can he not come for such a big matter?" Dongfang Lie also answered.
"I wonder if my future daughter-in-law has come yet?"
Dongfang Lie's expression froze when these words were spoken. There were many people in the Ximen family who knew about this, but not many in the Dongfang family. To speak about it publicly in such a public place was indeed very embarrassing.
"Ximen Xiao, this matter has not been announced yet. Do you want to cause a ruckus so that the entire city will know about it?" Dongfang Lie said somewhat angrily.
"Liang-ge, why do you have to be so angry? If you don't want to say it, then don't. It's just a matter of time."
What they had said had completely stunned Dongfang Jian. It seemed that he did not know about the marriage between Dongfang Siyue and Xi Men Yun Long. Xi Men Yunlong was not the son of the head of the Xi Men family, but the son of the second master of the Xi Men family.
However, when Xi Men Xiao turned around, his eyes showed a trace of hostility. "Sooner or later, my son will sleep with you two." It seemed that Xi Men Yun Long was not only scheming against Si Yue, but also against Xing Ran.
Of course, Han Bing who was inside Demon Black Mountain did not know about this. At this moment, Han Bing had just fought against Zhan Yun and was in the cave, digesting the experience from the battle. She was circulating her cultivation technique, constantly absorbing the Heaven and Earth energy into her own spirit energy, expanding her spiritual sea.
"Little Han Bing, it's about time. The agreement at West East City has begun. I can feel that quite a number of people have entered Demon Black Mountain." Ling'er said.
Han Bing opened his eyes and two golden rays of light shot out from his eyes, causing a huge boulder to explode into pieces. Zhan Yun, who was sleeping beside them, was shocked.
"Ahh, ahh, ahh." Zhan Yun brandished his little claws, looking quite adorable in his anger.
"Haha, Zhan Yun, I'm sorry. I didn't see you sleeping." Han Bing laughed, "But we are leaving now, are you ready?"
The moment Zhan Yun heard they were about to leave, he was surprised for a moment. Then, a white light flashed and changed into a battle form. He ran towards the cave and roared. The two golden-furred battle lions appeared in front of the cave in less than three breaths. The two lions and one tiger began to 'chat'.
"What is this? Farewell? " Han Bing was a bit speechless and actually wanted to say goodbye.
"Little Han Bing, how can you think like this? Little Zhan Yun also has feelings for them. Could it be that you still want to stop him from bidding his lackeys farewell? " Ling'er said.
"Who would dare? I'll wait for Zhan Yun to say his farewells. Zhan Yun has already been missing for over ten days, so I don't care about this for now."
"That's more like it."
However, Zhan Yun truly wasn't finished. He would moan continuously for a while, and tears would appear in his eyes. Finally, he would use his head to constantly rub against the Golden-furred War Lion, causing his tears to flow down.
After a full four hours, she returned to Han Bing's side, her eyes red from crying just now. Han Bing also took advantage of this time to change into a new set of clothes. Due to the fact that the original Eastern clan uniforms were torn and broken, only one was still standing and torn, thus Han Bing was forced to put on white clothes.
"Zhan Yun, don't cry anymore. In the future, just come often and visit whenever you want to. I'll come with you." Han Bing stroked the fur of the standing cloud and comforted him.
"Roar, roar ~" Standing Cloud also replied. Although he didn't understand what Zhan Yun meant, at this moment, he showed his determination.
It bit onto Han Bing's clothes, threw him onto the ground, and quickly ran out of the cave. The two golden-furred war lions wanted to follow along, but they were halted by Zhan Yun's tiger roar. Tears welled in his eyes as he watched the man and tiger leave.
"Am I right to do this?" Han Bing said to himself.
"You're right, now that we're talking about little Zhan Yun, he's only a child. This sort of separation scene will always cause one to cry." Ling'er said, "With the blood of the Reincarnation War Tiger, Demon Black Mountain is not a long term solution. Only by roaming outside can one become an overlord of a region."
"I understand. Ling'er, Zhan Yun will be my little brother from now on. I will do my best to treat him well." Han Bing said.
However, Ling'er only smiled and did not express any opinion.
Han Bing's elegant long hair fluttered in the wind. A white tiger and a young man in white clothes were currently sprinting towards the outskirts of Demon Black Mountain at an extremely fast speed. The aura emitted from Zhan Yun's body caused some of the lesser demons on the road to flee in all directions.
"Alright Zhan Yun, stop. "You can't go out like this anymore, otherwise, don't you alert the experts outside?" Han Bing reminded her. On the surface, Demon Black Mountain seemed to be a heaven for demon beasts, but in reality, it was a large-scale breeding ground for demon beasts of all kinds. Furthermore, different levels of demonic beasts were divided into different kinds of domains. As soon as a demonic beast with a high cultivation entered the lower levels of the domain, experts would immediately come and clear it out.
Zhan Yun also understood this. He put down Han Bing, and his body gradually shrank, hiding in the front of Han Bing's clothes. Although this seemed a little strange, he couldn't care less at the moment.
Now, what he needed to do was to quickly find Xing Ran and the others. What Han Bing feared the most was that Xing Ran would recklessly take revenge for him.
"Little Han Bing, there's someone fighting in front. It looks like it's a battle between humans." Ling'er suddenly said.
"A battle between humans!" Han Bing cried out in alarm, as if he was struck by lightning. He hoped that what he feared did not happen.
At this moment, Han Bing heard a wild laugh coming from the front. HAHAHAHAHAHA, Hanxuan, this time you're going to die. "
This voice was actually from Ximen Yunzhan.
