C87 Completion of the Trial
A group of valiant and valiant young men and women wearing red clothes were constantly dashing towards the outside of Demon Black Mountain. Seeing this scene, Dongfang Lie laughed out loud, "I was wondering why the people who are coming are so handsome. So they are the young generation of the Dongfang family. Haha, Brother Xi Men, I'm sorry for disappointing you."
A cold glint flashed past Ximen Xiao's eyes and the smile on his face froze. However, he did not flare up. Clearly, he was extremely shrewd. He waved his big sleeve and said with indifference, "So it's the Dongfang family. Even if they come out early, they might not be first place. The last thing we want to see is the number of beast cores they have to hunt."
Seeing that the leaders of the two big families had started to talk, the rest of them did not say much and continued to look towards the Demon Black Mountain.
The people of the Dongfang family arrived in front of Dongfang Lie with smiles on their faces.
Dongfang Haotian said: "The Demon Black Mountain Trial Mission has been successfully completed. All of the demon cores obtained are here!" As he spoke, Dongfang Haotian took out a yellow-brown bag that was filled to the brim with beast cores.
"Good, not bad." Dongfang Lie said with satisfaction, "First, let's put it in the Eastern clan's demonic core counting area." He pointed to a huge table, which was divided into five areas. Each area was where the demonic cores of a clan were counted. Each region was divided into many smaller regions, and different levels of beast cores had to be placed in different regions. This way, the number of beast cores and their ranks could be clearly seen.
"Haotian, why haven't we seen Starlord and Siyue yet?" Dongfang Lie asked.
"Oh, Second Uncle, my two sisters insisted on splitting up to hunt for beast cores. They would have to bring guards with them to wait for us at the back of the line." Dongfang Haotian said.
"Then, we don't have any casualties here." Dongfang Jian asked.
With these words, everyone began to fall silent. The atmosphere that instantly became oppressive made those people from the Dongfang family who had yet to enter the Demon Black Mountain realize that something was wrong.
"Second Uncle, Elder, Li Ling, Li Ling."
"How is he?"
"He's dead." Dongfang Haotian hesitated for a long time, and then revealed the truth of the matter as if he had made a great decision. These words were like a clap of thunder, causing Dongfang Lie to not be able to react for a moment.
Li Ling had already reached the eighth level of Qi Condensation at the age of eighteen. He was one of the top geniuses in the Dongfang family. When he grew up, he would definitely become one of the pillars of the Dongfang family. It was hard to accept that he had died just like that.
"How did Li Ling die?" Dongfang Jian said with a tremble. Li Ling had an extraordinary relationship with him, because Li Ling was his disciple. Although he was usually strict with him, Li Ling was sincere for his good.
"Senior Brother Li Ling died in order to protect everyone, so we are grateful for his great kindness." A disciple said.
At this time, Xi Men Xiao walked over and said with a smile: "Someone from the Dongfang family died in Demon Black Mountain? That would be very unfortunate. " Even though he said that, his gloating expression clearly showed that he was only here to mock Ye Zichen.
When he saw this scene, even that old fellow Dongfang Jian couldn't help but want to make a move, much less Dongfang Lie. However, at this time, Haotian came forward to stop the two of them. He cupped his fists towards Ximen Xiao and said, "The heavens do not predict the future, and everyone has their misfortunes. Li Ling has died a great death, and his death is worth it. Thank you for your condolences, second master Xi Men, but please go back now. "
According to Dongfang Haotian's personality from before, he would have definitely been enraged and wished that he could kill Xi Men Xiao. But he knew he wouldn't need it this time, because he wouldn't be able to laugh after a while. Not only would he not be able to laugh, even crying might not be able to find the right sound.
At this time, another person came out. The people who were waiting in front became excited, "Look, it's the Yang family."
"The men from the Lee family are here as well. I wonder how many demonic cores they have this time."
"Look, those are the people from the Zhang Clan. Eh, why are there so few?"
People from the three clans appeared at almost the same time, and they immediately headed towards their clan's elders. First, they reported their safety, and then they stored all the beast cores they had obtained in the Demon Black Mountain into the counting area.
Now that they were in the inventory area, they didn't look at everyone. Instead, they used a special black cloth to cover themselves and reveal the truth.
The leaders of the five clans all sat on the temporarily built judging platform, waiting for the exam to end. According to the rules, once the time was up, even if challengers could obtain Demonic Cores, they would have no effect. There was only about one incense stick of time left until the end of the exam. Other than Ximen Yunlong, the rest of the participants had not come out. This made Ximen Xiao and the other experts start to worry.
"Oh my god, it's already been this time. Why haven't the people from the Ximen family come out yet?"
"That shouldn't be the case. They were always the first to come out, why are they so late this time?"
"Maybe I met a tyrannical demon beast that was trying its best to kill me and wasted my time."
This was all they could think of. It was hard to accept that all the people from the Ximen family had been killed.
Not only the people from the Ximen family were worried, even the people from the Dongfang family were worried. Xing Ran, Si Yue, and Yan Xi, Han Xuan, hadn't come out yet. Not only that, they had also separated from Dongfang Haotian's main force. Even an eighth level Qi Condensation expert like Li Ling would die in battle. If something happened to the four of them, they wouldn't be able to bear it.
"It's okay, it's okay. Nothing will happen to them." Dongfang Lie said to himself.
However, at this time, Xi Men Yun Long sneered and said, "Hehe, I'm afraid all the remaining people from the Dongfang family have died long ago. It's a pity for the two beauties, Sister Siyue and Sister Xingran."
Dongfang Lie arrived in front of Ximen Yunlong in a flash and felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on his body. He asked coldly, "What did you say just now?"
"Second Master of the Eastern clan, I didn't want to say it at first, but now I have no choice but to say it." Xi Men Yun Long sighed and said, "The reason I was eliminated was because of a tyrannical demon beast. That demon beast had a strange appearance and should be a mutated King Lizard from the desert. It was very powerful. We were originally together with Big Brother and Little Sister Siyue and Little Sister Xingran and their guards. Who would have thought that the demonic beast would suddenly appear and defeat my Big Brother? I also relied on the Divine Traversal Talisman Amulet to escape and get eliminated. But they do not have the Divine Traversal Talisman, so once they are controlled by a demon beast, the consequences will be unimaginable. " Xi Men Yun Long said.
The more Dongfang Lie listened, the more murderous he became. He wanted to rush to the Demon Mountain Range to find them.
However, Dongfang Haotian stood up and said: "Second Uncle, don't listen to his nonsense. I saw my sisters yesterday, they're fine."
When Dongfang Lie saw this Dongfang Haotian, he couldn't help but feel that he had changed and become mature.
"Whether I'm lying or not, I'll see in a moment." Xi Men Yun Long sighed and said with regret.
"Alright, Yunlong, let's not talk about this anymore. Just wait patiently." Ximen Xiao said impatiently. At the moment, he was extremely anxious and did not care about the lives of the people from the Dongfang family.
However, just as Xi Men Xiao was getting anxious, someone suddenly shouted, "Look, someone wearing white has come out."
Hearing these words, all the experts waiting outside the Ximen family started to boil up and immediately looked into the depths of Demon Black Mountain. He saw a youth dressed in white robes in the distance, followed by a few people dressed in red.
"That's not right. Why is there only one person wearing white and there are four people wearing red following behind him. It doesn't look like the clothing of the Ximen family."
"The ones behind are people from the Dongfang family."
This strange combination instantly attracted everyone's attention. They saw a young man in white clothes floating gracefully with his long hair fluttering in the wind. He looked very handsome. However, that white robe was definitely not from the Ximen family. Behind him followed four people dressed in red, a man and three women. They were all extremely heroic, and it was obvious that they were dragons and phoenixes among men.
"Second Uncle, look at what I said. They're all fine." Dongfang Haotian said.
However, Dongfang Lie did not reply. His eyes were fixated on the figures of the five people who were constantly approaching him. The young man in white at the very front seemed so familiar, so intimate.
"Then, who is the person at the front?" Dongfang Lie said with a trembling voice.
"Haha, Second Uncle, you don't know him anymore? Isn't that the guardian of Xing Ran, Han Bing? " Dongfang Haotian said.
Han Bing and the others were extremely fast, and soon arrived at the Dongfang family's camp. Before Han Bing could react, Dongfang Lie, who was on the judging platform, laughed maniacally and directly flew over. He stood in front of Han Bing and gave her a big bear hug without saying a word, causing quite a few people's eyes to fall.
Feeling that strong arm, Han Bing's heart warmed. It could be seen that Dongfang Lie truly cared for him.
"Haha, I knew you wouldn't die that easily. Where have you been these past few days? After disappearing for so many days, I was worried for nothing." At this moment, Dongfang Lie was completely disregarding his image as he spoke carelessly.
"Second Master, can you let me go first? It's not convenient to talk like this." Han Bing said.
"No wonder Second Uncle didn't get married. So Second Uncle actually likes beautiful boys like Big Brother Han Bing." Xing Ran giggled, "But you can't, Second Uncle. Big Brother Han Bing likes a girl like Xing Ran, not an uncle like Second Uncle."
A single sentence left everyone speechless. There were quite a few people that didn't know of this little girl's age, but her cute appearance caused the hearts of some of the opposite sex to tremble. They were all envious of Dongfang Lin for having such a cute daughter.
"Of course, don't mess around. We still have important things to do." Han Bing lightly tapped Xing Ran's head and said with a smile, "Second Master, where is this demonic core?" Han Bing took out a yellow-brown bag.
"Oh, just leave it on the Demonic Core over there." Dongfang Lie looked at Han Bing with a smile.
After saying that, Dongfang Lie returned to his seat. Han Bing had plenty of opportunities to talk about what she had experienced these past few days after returning home.
Time passed bit by bit. The people of the Ximen family became more and more anxious. Ximen Xiao was about to curse. What happened this time? Did those grandsons of his fall asleep?
"Alright, time's up. The results that have yet to come out are invalid." Dongfang Lie suddenly stood up and said.
