It's dawn, and the sun pierces the darkness and brings warmth.
But the chill that enveloped the hearts of the disciples of the outer sect of Longmen Ju has not dissipated.
That night, no one fell asleep. Everyone stayed where they were, looking at Xiao Changfeng who was sitting cross-legged with fearful expressions on his face.
No one can guarantee whether the demon that killed Senior Brother Chu with this sword will become ferocious and attack with a sword.
Chu Shanhe's body also hung out like this all night. No one dared to collect his body. Only the broken ancient sword stood in front of the body like a tombstone.
Xiao Changfeng remained motionless and no one dared to move.
"Dang! Dang! Dang!"
The bell rang for a long time and echoed slowly. This was the bell that summoned the outer disciples.
The ringing of the bell means that the martial arts examination is about to begin.
If things were going as usual, the one hundred thousand disciples of the outer sect would all be heading towards the central square at this moment, working hard for the martial arts examination and the places in the inner sect.
But today, no one dared to move.
The white line across the outside of Longmen Ju was particularly dazzling. Although it did not contain divine power, it was like an invisible wall, blocking everyone's way.
One person, one sword, and a white line.
Life and death are uncertain!
Even if it is the martial arts examination, even if it is a quota in the inner sect, compared to life, everyone chooses the latter.
Don’t you see, Senior Brother Chu’s body is still lying in a pool of blood.
Learning from the past, no one dares to challenge that murderous sword.
The sun was shining, Xiao Changfeng opened his eyes, his body shook slightly, shaking the dew off his gray shirt.
He immediately stood up, holding the Cold Dragon Magic Sword, turned his back to everyone, and walked towards the central square.
The thin figure and the blood-stained sword were particularly dazzling in the sunlight.
"That devil is gone, senior brother. The summoning bell has sounded. Shouldn't we go to the central square?"
A young girl looked at Xiao Changfeng's retreating figure and spoke timidly, holding on to the corner of her clothes with some hesitation.
"Junior sister, didn't you hear what he said, anyone who crosses this line will be killed without mercy. Although I also want to take part in the martial arts examination, I am more afraid of death!"
The young man who was questioned by the girl opened his mouth, and finally sighed, his eyes dodge, the belief in his heart had been shattered, and he had lost his fighting spirit.
Not only this young man, but also Jun Wushuang, Ning Feichen, or Yan Yuntian hiding in the corner all swallowed their saliva and did not dare to cross the white line.
The battle last night had scared everyone out of their wits.
The one hundred thousand disciples of the outer sect are now trapped in Longmenju by a white line. What they fear is not the white line, but the person who drew the line.
…
In the central square, nine stone pillars carved with dragons stood. Soon the platform appeared, and three figures appeared in it.
It was Gongsun Ming, Lin Ruoyu and the eldest prince.
Lin Ruoyu was half cured after being treated by Xiao Changfeng. At this time, the spiritual energy fluctuating around her body was so powerful that both Gongsun Ming and the eldest prince looked at her with suspicion.
"Congratulations to junior sister for breaking through the bottleneck!"
The eldest prince was gentle and elegant, with a gentle smile on his face. He congratulated Lin Ruoyu and wanted to get closer to Lin Ruoyu.
Lin Ruoyu's background was so great that even he needed to be fawned over, so he kept expressing his closeness to Lin Ruoyu. Unfortunately, the other person's personality was too cold, so he never made any progress.
"Thank you, senior brother!"
Lin Ruoyu's face was still as cold as a cold moon.
"I heard that Junior Sister and Ninth Brother went to the Ten Thousand Demons Mountains. It seems that Junior Sister gained a lot. However, Ninth Brother has never been interested in martial arts. I hope he didn't cause any trouble to Junior Sister!"
The eldest prince changed his tone and smiled, but his words were a test.
It's a pity that Lin Ruoyu has a cold temperament, so he can't detect anything at all.
"It's past nine o'clock, why hasn't anyone come yet? Is there something unexpected?"
Gongsun Ming frowned and looked at the empty central square, feeling slightly uneasy.
Although he is the master of the martial arts hall, he cannot see thousands of miles away, so naturally he cannot see the situation in Longmenju.
"Huh? There are one hundred thousand disciples from the outer sect. Logically speaking, some of them should have arrived a long time ago!"
After hearing Gongsun Ming's reminder, the eldest prince also frowned, feeling confused.
The martial arts examination is a big event, not to mention that there are still ten inner sect places this time, so how could no one take part?
Moreover, for this exam, Chu Shanhe from the outer sect had already been booked by him.
He gathered Chu Shanhe and gave him Xuan-level martial arts skills just for this martial arts test.
Even if no one else shows up, Chu Shanhe will definitely arrive in advance, but now, there is no one in the square.
"Hey, someone is coming!"
Suddenly Gongsun Ming saw a figure.
I saw a figure in the distance, bathing in the sunshine, walking slowly.
"Why is there only one person?"
There was still nothing behind this figure, which made Gongsun Ming frown again.
"Ninth brother!"
As he got closer, the eldest prince could clearly see the person coming, and instantly his eyes narrowed, feeling cold.
Step by step!
Xiao Changfeng stepped into the central square.
"Where are the others?"
Gongsun Ming was not angry but asked fiercely. His eyes fell on Xiao Changfeng, full of coercion.
However, this coercion had no effect on Xiao Changfeng. His eyes swept over Lin Ruoyu, smiled, and then looked at the eldest prince and Gongsun Ming.
"None of them can come today. I am the only one in this martial arts competition test, so I am the first!"
Xiao Changfeng's faint voice sounded, but the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
"What do you mean you can't come? What did you do? Where is Chu Shanhe? Where is Jun Wushuang?"
Gongsun Ming's expression was startled, and his whole body was as majestic as a mountain, shrouding Xiao Changfeng. However, Xiao Changfeng's expression remained unchanged.
"The one below Chu Shanhe committed the crime of murdering the prince of the dynasty, so he died! As for Jun Wushuang and the others, they felt that they had sinned deeply, so they closed their doors in Longmen Residence and thought about their mistakes!"
Xiao Changfeng stared at the eldest prince with a smile on his lips. He came to take the martial arts examination today just to slap him in the face.
It was the eldest prince who was slapped in the face!
Aren't you going to expel me?
Didn't you send someone to deal with me?
Don't you want my life?
But I am still alive, and living is very nourishing, and I want to take the first place in front of you.
What can you do?
"How dare you violate the rules of the academy and harm your fellow disciples!"
Gongsun Ming suddenly became sharp and murderous.
"I am the ninth prince of the dynasty. Chu Shanhe wants to murder me and despises my royal family. Brother, tell me, was it right or wrong to kill me?"
Xiao Changfeng stared at the eldest prince without moving his gaze. Seeing the flash of anger in the eldest prince's eyes, he felt very happy.
"Kill well, this kind of person who doesn't respect my royal blood will die as soon as he dies!"
The eldest prince's anger rose, and he clenched his hands hanging in his sleeves, wishing he could kill someone. But he finally suppressed his anger, showed a gentle smile, and agreed with Xiao Changfeng's words.
No matter what, Xiao Changfeng is the ninth prince and has royal blood. As the eldest prince, even if he hates him to death in his heart, he still has to remain humble and respectful on the surface.
This is the way of a prince, and it is made for the eyes of the superior father.
"In that case, please let me announce the results of the general examination. I'm looking forward to that Purple Sun Sword!"
Xiao Changfeng continued to speak, and every word he spoke was like an invisible palm hitting the eldest prince's face.
