Seeing the group of people, Qing Yi's face fell. She immediately said in a deep voice, "Those are the people from the Heavenly Sect, Heavenly Dragon Sect, and Heavenly Phoenix Sect!" The leader's name is Tian Zhao, and he is a leading figure in the inner court of the younger generation.

Hearing this, Gu Lin was also shocked. A leading figure in the younger generation? No wonder it was so spectacular, it was just that the Monster race had always been united. Why wasn't the Sky Demon Sect one of them? His eyes also looked at the slightly gloomy Qing Yi as he slowly spoke.

She let out a sigh and immediately said, "This is actually no secret. My Sky Demon Sect has been ranked last for two years in a row, and if we are still ranked last in this year's war, then the Sky Demon Sect will be disqualified from the inner courtyard and expelled from the inner courtyard. As for the other three sects, they have also seen this point and maintained their distance from the Sky Demon Sect."

This time around, an extraordinary person has appeared in the Outer Academy. With his own strength, he has chosen all the hundreds of demon clan elites who are guarding the arena, and this boldness has ruthlessly shocked Old Xin. As long as he is able to join our Sky Demon Sect, he will definitely be ranked in the top three.

Qing Yi's eyes looked towards the former as she continued, "From the looks of it, you should be a disciple participating in the inner courtyard examination as well. The few people behind you all possess extremely dense Demonic Energy, and they are likely members of the Demonic Clan.

Gu Xin? If it was Gu Xin, it should be him. Immediately, his eyes were filled with surprise. He did not expect that the Sky Demon Sect would place so much importance on him.

Just as Wang Ying was about to reply, Gu Lin stopped her. Immediately, he slowly said, "We have met that person in the outer court. However, we lost any news of him after entering this small world. I'm sorry!" He cupped his hands and said apologetically.

Qing Yi's eyes flashed with disappointment upon hearing this. She continued, "When these three great Saint sects join forces, it is likely that the strongest force in this small world will fall into their hands. As for the key to the ancient treasure, if nothing unexpected happens, it would fall into their hands, however, Tian Zhao has always been conceited, and would definitely not hand the secret to the other two sects over this ancient treasure so easily.

"On the other hand, although the human race only has two alliances, and one of them is alone with the other factions, that member of the Qing Clan has the qualification to break through to the sage realm. However, this year, he has to forcefully suppress his cultivation, and once he has gathered enough Spiritual Qi points, he will enter the pagoda and adjust his bloodline to its most perfect state before attempting to break through to the sage realm.

The Inner Academy was filled with hidden talents. First, it was Tian Zhao. This was the Qing Clan's expert who had the qualifications to break through to the Saint Transformation Stage. It was likely that these two had come for the ancient treasure key.

"These two factions should be the strongest contenders for the ancient treasure key this time around. Of course, this is only if we exclude some other situations. As for us, we might be able to drink some soup from behind them." After saying those words, helplessness appeared in Qing Yi's eyes. However, there was nothing she could do. With her strength right in front of her, she could not afford to lose her life for the sake of the Ancient Treasure Key.

He only watched as the figures flew past and rushed to the front, while a fiery look also surged out from his eyes. He must obtain the ancient treasure key, and once he gathered the last two flames from the Seven Fiery Formation of the Northern Dipper, his combat strength would naturally reach a whole new level.

As the large group entered the Great Yan Mountain, the originally deserted mountain range gradually became more lively. As the large group continued to move forward, many Magical Beasts also continuously emerged, causing everyone's movements to become a little slower. The sunlight in the sky also gradually became dimmer, while the scarlet moonlight quietly arrived in front of everyone's eyes.

After which, the various factions set up camp with their fastest speed. They clearly understood in their hearts that this was the first test to enter the Great Yan Mountain Range, and if one could endure it, they would be able to continue on and fight for the ancient treasure's key. If one could not, no one would be able to take the corpse and it would only end up as a food for the Magic Beasts.

This kind of deathly silent atmosphere enveloped this large group of people. Soon, many campsites rose from the ground and fiery-red flames rose from them. When these flames illuminated the surroundings, it also drove away a lot of this uneasy atmosphere.

Gu Lin and the others sat with the bonfire, while the surrounding people tightly placed their hands on their eerie swords. Although there were many people here, and the surroundings were illuminated by the extremely bright and clear flame, they were still oppressed by the tense atmosphere and did not dare to speak. If they were in Endless City, they would not be afraid of these Magical Beasts because they had a place to rely on.

When Gu Lin quietly sat beside the bonfire, his eyes were also filled with seriousness. He could sense that the number of magical beasts in the Great Yan Mountain was much higher than the beast tide in Great Desolate City, and their cultivations were not weak. If he was not careful, he might end up dying here and becoming the nourishment of the Great Yan Mountain Range.

Wang Ying, Luo Bai, and the others only felt a sense of security when Gu Lin was around them. This was the trust the former had given them along the way, and the reason why they obtained this sense of trust was naturally due to the former's strength.

However, just as Gu Lin's eyes were focused on his surroundings, Qing Yi's voice rang out beside him, "If the beasts attack, remember to hug us tightly. I'll do my best to have people protect you. Don't worry, since you're also from the demon race, I'll definitely ensure your safety."

"Thank you very much."

Gu Lin was also startled when he heard this before smiling. Although this woman had an arrogant expression, her attitude had changed greatly after knowing that they were both demons. It was likely that this was what the humans and demons had won.
