The people around looked at Ling Ruyan with complicated expressions.
When Ling Ruyan made his decision, they were shocked and confused, but the battle just now made them suddenly understand Ling Ruyan's approach.
In just a short moment, Lin Xiao helped Ling Ruyan easily understand the meaning of the sword marks, thus greatly increasing his strength.
Suddenly, many people felt regretful.
If at that time, they had stood up to help Lin Xiao resolve his predicament, or said a few words of justice, I'm afraid they would have gotten some pointers.
However, the opportunity passed in a flash, and they could only regret it and could not change anything.
"You have a good understanding." Lin Xiao stepped forward, and the voice he spoke made Ling Ruyan stunned for a moment.
It should be noted that in Yuanjian Sect, Ling Ruyan's understanding is among the best, and even the sect leader is full of praise.
But in Lin Xiao's eyes, it was just good, which made her a little unhappy.
However, Ling Ruyan felt something natural in Lin Xiao's eyes. It seemed that in his eyes, Ling Ruyan's talent was indeed good, nothing more.
Ling Ruyan was stunned for a moment, and the trace of unhappiness in her heart completely disappeared. She moved lightly and stood quietly beside Lin Xiao, as if she had really become a martial arts attendant.
"Zi Ling, are you okay?" Lin Xiao looked at Zi Ling, and what he said was naturally the slander.
Zi Ling shook his head and said with a smile: "Although there are still some grudges, it is much better. After this incident, I also saw the ugly faces of many people."
"Brother Xiao, thank you." After gritting his teeth, Zi Ling stared at Lin Xiao and thanked him from the bottom of his heart.
In the world of martial arts, people's hearts are unpredictable.
Zi Ling could not imagine how much slander and humiliation she would have received when facing Zhong Ziheng and Xuan Feng without Lin Xiao's generous action.
Lin Xiao laughed, but did not refuse Zi Ling's gratitude. He raised his eyes and said, "Let's go, let's go to the next trial place now."
"Okay." Zi Ling nodded, and after a little recognition of the direction, his figure flashed quickly.
Seeing this, Lin Xiao did not hesitate and followed Bei Gongxue quickly.
As for Ling Ruyan.
She did not break her promise and followed Lin Xiao quietly.
After comprehending the meaning of the sword, Zi Ling and Ling Ruyan's strength greatly increased, and their speed increased a lot, much faster than before.
Along the way, Lin Xiao did not speak, but Ling Ruyan cast curious glances from time to time.
She seemed to want to see through Lin Xiao.
However, Lin Xiao's existence is like a dark abyss. No matter how hard you stare, you can't see through it.
"Why, you still think I will make some unreasonable demands?" Suddenly, Lin Xiao's voice came, making Ling Ruyan stunned for a moment and quickly looked away.
At the beginning, Ling Ruyan did think about this.
But after seeing Bei Gongxue, Ling Ruyan gave up this idea and laughed at herself in her heart.
As a woman, she could feel that Bei Gongxue's temperament was as if she were an immortal. She was definitely not an ordinary woman, and her appearance would definitely shock the world.
Lin Xiao can be with Bei Gongxue, so how can he have any undue thoughts about her?
Lin Xiao saw the change in Ling Ruyan's expression and did not point it out. Instead, he said: "Are you familiar with the second place of cultivation?"
"It's okay. I've been there a few times."
After a short pause, Ling Ruyan replied: "The second place of cultivation is called Xuanyin Purple Bamboo Forest. As its name suggests, it is a vast bamboo forest."
"This bamboo forest is shrouded by some kind of power. It cannot fall from the void. We can only step forward step by step until we reach the center of the bamboo forest."
"However, every time a warrior takes a step forward, a mysterious sound will sound in his mind. The further he moves forward, the stronger the mysterious sound becomes, eventually making it impossible to continue moving forward."
Lin Xiao nodded and said casually: "That is a test of martial arts will."
"That's right." Ling Ruyan agreed and continued: "Compared to Jianfeng, this trial is more difficult. For hundreds of years, no one has reached the center of the bamboo forest."
"That's good!" Lin Xiao's eyes lit up, with satisfaction in his words.
The second place of trial is Xuanyin Purple Bamboo Forest.
Here, the second golden elixir fragment should be sealed, located in the middle of the bamboo forest.
For hundreds of years, no one has arrived, which means that no one has taken away the golden elixir fragments.
This is great news for Lin Xiao.
Ling Ruyan couldn't understand what Lin Xiao said, so she simply stopped asking and kept guard while walking on her way.
After half a day, Lin Xiao and others finally left the mountainous area, and a vast plain appeared in their field of vision.
At the same time, more figures appeared around, coming from various overlord forces.
Among them, Lin Xiao naturally saw the disciples of Tianyao Valley, but ignored them and just passed by.
After another half day, the group of four finally arrived at their destination.
At the end of the field of vision, a huge bamboo forest appeared, boundless, like a purple ocean.
What's even more surprising is that the bamboos in this purple bamboo forest are dozens of feet tall and purple, just like towering ancient trees. It's extremely astonishing.
The bamboo leaves grown from each bamboo tree are as big as cattail fans. When the breeze blows gently, the bamboo leaves collide with each other and make a rustling sound, which is like the sound of nature and can penetrate into the depths of the soul.
Zi Ling came to Xuanyin Purple Bamboo Forest for the first time. Her mouth opened wide and she made a sound of exclamation.
Lin Xiao, on the other hand, remained calm as always.
His eyes were filled with spiritual consciousness, and he could see through the purple bamboo forest in an instant. In the center, the golden light was endless, and it was the place where the golden elixir fragments were sealed.
When Lin Xiao came to the Purple Bamboo Forest, there were already countless figures in the forest, all standing motionless, obviously resisting Xuanyin and honing their martial arts will.
The positions where these people stand vary. The farthest one reaches a hundred feet, which makes countless people envious.
"Being able to travel a hundred feet is considered a genius. According to records, the furthest one can only travel three hundred feet. Do you feel the pressure?" Ling Ruyan said when she saw Lin Xiao staring at the Xuanyin Purple Bamboo Forest.
Lin Xiao suddenly withdrew his gaze, turned to look at Ling Ruyan, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Pressure? It doesn’t exist!
Lifting his steps slightly, Lin Xiao was ready to step directly into the Xuanyin Purple Bamboo Forest.
At this moment, a group of figures suddenly appeared. There were more than ten people, roaring towards this direction.
"Yun Tianhao?"
Ling Ruyan recognized the leader, stepped in front of Lin Xiao and said coldly: "What are you doing here?"
The leader was a young man, wearing white clothes, carrying a sword at his waist, and a handsome and unrestrained posture.
However, there was a chill on his face at this moment. He glanced at Ling Ruyan, then moved slowly, and finally landed on Lin Xiao. The chill increased a hundred times.
"Are you Xiao Lin?"
The young man in white was the first to speak, his eyes sinking as he looked down at Lin Xiao.
"Who are you?" Lin Xiao replied impatiently.
Hearing this, the young man in white's eyes became even more gloomy, and a cold voice came out from the corner of his mouth: "Kill your man!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the figures around the young man in white moved, flashed, and surrounded Lin Xiao. It seemed that they were not prepared to give Lin Xiao a chance to escape!
