CHAPTER 1923: CHAPTER 1920: REUNION WITH SHUI QINGLING!

After the humanoid puppet finished mimicking the voice of the Demon Sect recruiting disciples, it ignored Ding Huo, Lin Xiaoqing, and the others.

Ding Huo’s face was grim, standing in silence.

Originally, according to Ancestor Ding’s calculations, the Eye of the Primordial Demon could locate the Land of Sealing for Lord Yuan Mo, but now, after much effort, they had aligned the Eye of the Primordial Demon, only to pull the Nine Floor Demon Palace from the sea instead.

And it even initiated a recruitment examination for the Demon Sect discipleships.

"Qiu Lin, what should we do now?"

"This place isn’t the Land of Sealing for Lord Yuan Mo."

Gu Yuan and Lei Chong both stepped forward and spoke.

Ding Huo remained silent, secretly cursing Old Monster Ding in his heart.

Just then, a blood crane flew out from the void once more. Ding Huo immediately tapped and opened it, and a voice echoed beside them: "Go and seize the identity of the Demon Sect disciple."

"Although we claim to be disciples of the Demon Sect within the God-Demon Sect, we are actually progeny from the remnants who escaped the Demon Sect fifty thousand years ago, without truly gaining the Sect’s legacy."

"Therefore, we can only count as half a Demon Sect disciple now."

"But if you are fortunate enough to gain the genuine identity of a Demon Sect disciple, you qualify to enter the Demon Sect Martial Arts Hall. If within the Martial Arts Hall you find the legacy left by Lord Yuan Mo, it would mark a significant hope for the resurgence of our Demon Sect."

The voice left by Ancestor Ding in the blood crane was particularly excited and fervent, even somewhat fanatical, as if he couldn’t wait to enter this place and participate in this examination himself!

Ding Huo and Ancestor Ding, including Chao Shan, are all disciples of the Life-Death Demon Sect.

The Life-Death Demon Sect was founded by Demon Sect disciples who fled the God-Demon Sect fifty thousand years ago. Since then, all disciples of the Life-Death Demon Sect claim to be Demon Sect disciples, but in reality, they have not obtained the identity of Demon Sect disciples, merely claiming so.

Upon hearing Old Monster Ding’s voice, Ding Huo said, "Old Monster Ding is right, since this is not the Land of Sealing for Lord Yuan Mo, obtaining the identity of a Demon Sect disciple wouldn’t be bad."

"Then let’s compete with the current Tianjiao on the Nine Heavens Primordial Ancestor Mountain."

Ding Huo sneered as he spoke.

Lin Xiaoqing, upon hearing this, was overjoyed: "That’s great, back in Zhexian City, it was said that this year’s Master Apprenticeship Examination has the most prodigious talents in a thousand years!"

"This is truly interesting."

Lin Xiaoqing licked her lips excitedly, her eyes blazing with passion.

On another mountain on the second floor.

A young boy who looked fifteen or sixteen, wearing a gray robe, exuded a sense of frailty all over his body, with a pale face and even a trace of gray desolation in his eyes.

No matter how you looked at him, this person appeared so eerie.

"A Demon Palace disciple, hmm?"

This young boy glanced at the humanoid puppet and smiled slightly.

After a short while, the young boy turned and vanished as if he were a specter.

As he turned around, the fabric at his chest ripped open, revealing nine white marks on his chest... these were the marks of reincarnation!

This person was Yin Jiuling! The top Tianjiao from the Soul-breaking Area, one of the Nine Great Domains, known as a prodigy of nine reincarnations. Moments ago, he defeated Lin Yibing, the second place on the East Continent Heroes Record from the Blade Area, with three techniques on the second floor!

...

As they sped along, Lin Bai and Luo Quan traversed numerous mountains on the second floor, and along the way, they killed quite a few puppets.

To go from the second floor to the third floor, three thousand Red Pearl Contributions are required.

However, Lin Bai currently had only over a thousand.

It was then that Lin Bai realized that using the teleportation array consumed Red Pearl Contributions.

When Lin Bai moved from the first to the second floor, more than two thousand Red Pearls were automatically deducted from his storage bag.

Originally, Lin Bai had over three thousand Red Pearl Contributions, but upon checking, he astonishingly found that there were only a little over a thousand left in his storage bag.

Luo Quan also noticed this anomaly. After gathering information from various sources, it was discovered that other warriors were in the same predicament, and everyone then realized that there was a cost for each teleportation.

Luo Quan said, "Brother Lin, we both have only over a thousand Red Pearl Contributions, but going to the third floor requires three thousand, and now almost all the puppets on the second floor have been slain."

"We’ll have to see if there’s any opportunity with the Puppet King."

Lin Bai nodded slightly and said, "With the way warriors on the second floor are gathering, it seems they’re heading to Puppet Mountain, right?"

Luo Quan nodded slightly, "Let’s go, I’ve already heard the direction of Puppet Mountain."

On the Nine Heavens Primordial Ancestor Mountain, there is a teleportation array on each floor, as well as a Puppet King. Of course, the higher the floor, the stronger the Puppet King, and the more Tribute Items one can acquire.

When Lin Bai and Luo Quan arrived at the Puppet Mountain on the second floor, over five thousand warriors had already gathered, waiting again.

Lin Bai and Luo Quan stood on a large tree, and Luo Quan began to operate his Martial Soul, listening to all sounds within a hundred thousand miles.

While Lin Bai did not have Luo Quan’s capability, he could only use his eyes to observe.

At a glance, Lin Bai indeed saw some familiar shadows of people.

In the southeast direction where Lin Bai stood, over a hundred men and women in blue robes emitted an overwhelming Water Spiritual Power.

Among this group of men and women in blue robes, Lin Bai caught a glimpse of a beautiful woman...

As Lin Bai looked at her, she too was looking at Lin Bai, and, frighteningly, she was grinding her teeth as she looked at him...

"You little rascal!"

The woman’s eyes glared at Lin Bai with fierce light, gnashing her teeth in a low growl.

"You little trickster," Lin Bai chuckled softly.

This person was none other than Shui Qingling, the top Tianjiao of the Water Domain and one of the Five Spirit Children.

On the first floor, Lin Bai had tricked her in the Flood Dragon Den. Luckily, many warriors from the Water Domain banded together to give her enough Tribute Items, allowing her to reach the second floor.

Luo Quan looked at Lin Bai and said, "Brother Lin, you seem to be interested in this woman."

"Shui Qingling from the Water Domain, one of this year’s dark horse Tianjiao, and one of the Five Spirit Children, is indeed formidable."

Lin Bai smiled slightly; he had already witnessed Shui Qingling’s prowess on the first floor.

When Lin Bai saw Shui Qingling, another gaze locked onto him as well. He glanced to the southwest direction, where a group of men and women in flaming robes stood, among them, a person with unabashed killing intent in his eyes stared at Lin Bai.

"Huo Fentian!"

Lin Bai took one look at him and lost interest.

Luo Quan trembled all over and said, "Brother Lin, it seems that the Fire Domain’s top Tianjiao holds a deep grudge against you!"

Lin Bai nodded slightly; on the first floor, within the Jiao Dragon Puppet, more than three thousand of Huo Fentian’s original Tribute Items were seized by Lin Bai, naturally making Huo Fentian unhappy.

Especially since Huo Fentian attacked Lin Bai, and Lin Bai managed to escape, making the Fire Domain’s top Tianjiao feel his pride was somewhat wounded!
