Just when Jiang Chen was immersed in the library, one day, he received a summons from the city lord. The city lord personally issued the summons to summon all the selected talents.
A total of more than 300 people were produced in this selection, qualifying competition and elite competition, and there were also more than 200 people who stayed in the city lord's mansion.
Among them are elite talents like Jiang Chen and Su Hong.
More than two hundred people were called together, and the city lord Xie Wushang personally received them.
Xie Wushang's face was full of smiles: "Everyone, these days, the City Lord knows that you are all getting familiar with the City Lord's Mansion and adapting to the City Lord's Mansion, so I haven't called you for lectures. I have called you here today because I have important news.
I need to tell everyone!”
Hearing that it was important news, everyone pricked up their ears and showed curiosity on their faces.
When Jiang Chen saw Xie Wushang's expression, it looked like it was not a bad thing.
"I just got good news from the Chief Guard. A dangerous place on Dongyan Island will be opened for everyone to try. Remember, this is an opportunity. An opportunity to stand out. If you are trying
During the training, if you are lucky enough to be favored by the Chief Guard, then the city chief congratulates you. You will gain the favor of the Chief Guard and transform from the identity of a prisoner into a dead soldier beside the Chief Guard in one fell swoop. Maybe you won’t
I don’t think this makes a big difference. But this city lord can tell you that becoming someone close to the Chief Guard means that you are no longer prisoners, and you will have freedom. You will be qualified to leave Dongyan Island!"
For the monks on Dongyan Island, whether they are old or young geniuses, their biggest dream is freedom.
Freedom is the heart of every monk on Dongyan Island.
Even giants like Xie Wushang, deep down in their hearts, long for freedom and to leave Dongyan Island. Even if they have all the power in Dongyan Island for a while, they are not as eager as freedom.
If anyone says that they can exchange freedom for their power on Dongyan Island, they will definitely not hesitate and will definitely agree.
Perhaps, power can bring short-term happiness, but when I think about my identity, I think that I will always be detained on Dongyan Island, with no freedom, and the chief guardian will always be suppressed above me. All power becomes boring.
Even Jiang Chen's heart moved when he heard Xie Wushang's words.
Does Lord Chief Shou attach such great importance to this? Does this selection have something to do with Lord Chief Shou? So, the Huichun Island Territory will select dead soldiers from Dongyan Island again?
Jiang Chen actually had some interest in his heart. If this selection could make him qualified to leave this place alive, Jiang Chen wouldn't mind showing off his true strength.
After all, the most important thing for him now is not to hide his strength, but to leave here.
However, although Jiang Chen was moved in his heart, he did not show it. He listened to Xie Wushang's lectures calmly, trying to get more information from Xie Wushang's words.
However, Xie Wushang's words did not reveal anything more.
"In the last selection, some of you may feel that your potential has not been fully utilized, so this opportunity is here. Remember, the general guardian has a very high vision. You may be able to conquer this city lord, but you may not be able to.
Conquer the Governor's vision. Whether you can stand out or not depends entirely on you. In the past, you couldn't control your own destiny. Now, the time has come to control your own destiny. Whether you can seize it or not is up to you!"
Xie Wushang didn't have much sensationalism, but these words made the blood of these geniuses surge up.
"Okay, everyone goes back and prepares. We will gather here on time at this time tomorrow. The Lord of the City will personally lead the team to the Black Nightmare Mountains."
Xie Wushang gave the order.
Black Nightmare Mountain Range? Jiang Chen's heart moved. His study these days was not in vain. He clearly remembered that the Black Nightmare Mountain Range was one of the five most dangerous places on Dongyan Island.
Moreover, it is the widest and most mysterious area among the five dangerous areas.
Basically, the core area of the Black Nightmare Mountains is where the strongest forces on Dongyan Island dare not set foot easily.
Why is this trial arranged in the Black Nightmare Mountains?
A flash of surprise flashed through Jiang Chen's heart, but since Lord Chief Shou made such arrangements, he must have a reason for it. It's not Jiang Chen's turn to worry about this kind of thing.
"Temporarily disbanded, remember to arrive here on time tomorrow. Anyone who is absent without permission will be punished as a traitor." Xie Wushang's tone suddenly became stern.
Although Jiang Chen had no intention of being absent, he was a little surprised after hearing Xie Wushang's warning. It was just a trial, should it really be done with such great fanfare and seriousness?
Jiang Chen didn't have many acquaintances on Dongyan Island. There was no need to arrange anything. When he joined the City Lord's Mansion, he also deliberately avoided interacting with other people.
Even with Commander Yong Peng, Jiang Chen deliberately kept a distance from him and did not have any excessive contact with Yong Peng.
It's not that Jiang Chen turned against others, but that Jiang Chen didn't want to involve too many human relationships.
After all, if one day he wants to escape from here, if someone has a close friendship with him, they will inevitably be implicated.
Jiang Chen didn't want to implicate innocent people.
Even for Xinghui and his daughter, Jiang Chen didn't go to the inn to look for them.
We all met by chance, and what Jiang Chen did was easy. There was no need to involve too much, otherwise, it would only implicate innocent people.
Therefore, Jiang Chen didn't go anywhere that night, he just stayed at the City Lord's Mansion, concentrating on meditating and practicing.
After breaking through the imperial realm, Jiang Chen opened another door and entered a new realm, making his heart even more full of desire for improvement in strength.
I am now at the first level of the Emperor Realm, but I am not far away from the middle level of the Emperor Realm. If there is some chance, it is not out of reach to break through to the high level of the Emperor Realm.
Jiang Chen is very confident in his cultivation progress.
Especially the chain seal in the sea of consciousness has been very active recently, which has benefited him a lot in his cultivation.
Jiang Chen felt that now whether he was practicing or fighting, he always had a feeling of being at ease. Even when facing a powerful person in the heavenly position, he did not have any panic in his heart, and he had a sense of calmness that the overall situation of the world was under control.
"Even on Dongyan Island, I can't relax myself or slack off in my cultivation. The power of Wanyuan Island far exceeds human territory. This Dongyan Island is a test. If I leave Dongyan Island, I may encounter even greater tests.
.Only continuous improvement of strength is the right way."
Jiang Chen thought of this and started practicing seriously again.
There was no talking all night, and early the next morning, Jiang Chen got up early, made preparations, and went to the gathering place.
Many of the selected geniuses have arrived earlier than Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen arrived quite early, and within a quarter of an hour, everyone arrived one after another.
Then, Xie Wushang also appeared. Not only Xie Wushang, but also a large number of elites from the city lord's palace followed Xie Wushang.
Seeing this kind of posture, these selection geniuses were even more excited. The Lord of the City must have received the order from the Chief Guardian by attaching so much importance to it.
Lord Chief Shou attaches so much importance to this trial, which can prove that this trial may really be an opportunity, an opportunity to stand out and gain freedom.
Thinking of this, the blood of these geniuses boiled again.
Jiang Chen didn't lose his cool because of his ecstasy. He warned himself not to overheat his mind at any time.
Even if this is really an opportunity, it must be treated calmly. Only by treating it calmly step by step can you avoid being confused and caught off guard when encountering various emergencies.
"Roll roll, count!" Xie Wushang shouted.
The roll call begins.
There is no shortage of people, everyone is in place.
Xie Wushang nodded with satisfaction: "Very good. As expected of the selected elite, he has a good sense of time. Not bad! I won't talk nonsense. The opportunity to change your destiny has arrived. Everyone, be prepared. Let's go!"
Xie Wushang waved his hand and the army started.
The elites of the City Lord's Mansion, as well as a large number of city guards escorting them, accompanied these selected geniuses as they set off towards the Black Nightmare Mountains.
Seeing these thousands of city guards and almost all the elites from the city lord's palace, Jiang Chen's surprise became even more serious.
"Then Lord Chief, do you really value this trial so much? Could it be that for this Rejuvenation Island Territory, many dead soldiers will be selected?"
Jiang Chen is different from others. Others are purely optimistic. Besides being optimistic, Jiang Chen is also vigilant.
Based on his understanding of Dongyan Island these days, it is absolutely impossible for Dongyan Island to become a living Bodhisattva. Even the selection of dead soldiers must be very harsh, and even after selection, the price will be very tragic.
Therefore, Jiang Chen is not blindly optimistic.
It's good to have the opportunity to leave, but if you are chosen to be cannon fodder, die, or even be manipulated, then this selection is meaningless.
Even if you can leave, so what? If you leave and die in another place, you might as well stay on Dongyan Island.
Therefore, Jiang Chen secretly made up his mind to act according to the situation. If he really wanted to select a dead soldier, and the conditions were not too harsh, he would follow the trend.
If it is too harsh, or even controlled like a puppet, Jiang Chen will never agree. He does not want to become a puppet who can be manipulated by others.
The Black Nightmare Mountain Range was not close. The army walked for seven or eight days before approaching the foot of the Black Nightmare Mountain Range. From a distance, the Black Nightmare Mountain Range looked covered in clouds and covered with a layer of black-gray mist.
It seems like a mysterious world.
This Black Nightmare Mountain Range stretches for thousands of miles and is known as the Endless Nightmare. It is the most dangerous place on Dongyan Island.
Arriving at the outskirts of the Black Nightmare Mountains, in the flat land outside a valley, Xie Wushang ordered the army to stop and set up camp on the spot.
"It seems that we arrived first." Xie Wushang looked around and saw that no other forces had arrived yet.
Before he finished speaking, a strange and unruly cry came from the distance in the void: "Thank you, old man, your city of sin is not much earlier than my Valley of Sin!"
At the end of the sound, a dark cloud surged, and then large numbers of monks fell to the ground one by one from the cloud.
The number of people is similar to that of the City of Sin. The leader is a ferocious-looking person with a large sarcoma on his head, making him look extremely ferocious. He is the owner of the Valley of Sin.
