Xiao Linglong retorted indignantly, "Afraid of you? Fight if you want! This Saintess is happy to oblige!"
Gao Shitu said, "There are twelve of us against your ten. The outcome is decided. Why don't you leave on your own?"
Xiao Linglong said coldly, "Do you consider yourself a sage, having read even half a line of the classics?"
Ruo Xueli said, "Outrageous! Do you think we from Lanshan Huhai are all easily bullied?"
Xiao Linglong sneered, "Yes, and what if we are?"
Ming Zhitian stepped forward to mediate, "Alright, you wanted to go in, didn't you? Go ahead."
Everyone looked at him uniformly. The twelve sect leaders of Lanshan Huhai knew that Ming Zhitian was the one who had killed Wu Shang Jinbie, the Sect Leader of Lishang Sect, Huo Long Gang, the Sect Leader of Min Mi Sect, and Mian Jifan, the Sect Leader of Jinmen.
However, in the Dantasting Realm first level, they had no fear of him.
Ming Zhitian did not want to mess up the task entrusted to him by Tian Nanjie. Since they were all from the righteous path, he did not mind sharing a piece of the pie with them, provided they showed gratitude. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Gao Shitu and Ruo Xueli stepped forward, appearing eager to warm up.
"Wait!"
Xu Wudong, the Silver Gate sect leader of Min Mi Sect, whispered to them, "Don't forget that Ming Zhitian can kill across realms. We are no match for him."
The two nodded, then put on their most unconvincing smiles. "Senior Brother Ming, thank you. Please lead the way."
Ming Zhitian looked at Xiao Linglong, "Is that okay?"
Xiao Linglong was indifferent, "For your sake, let them come. But the good stuff goes to us Wanli Senmu first."
"Agreed, whatever the Saintess says goes," Gao Shitu said obsequiously.
The more than twenty people entered the cave mansion. It was spacious and wide, enough to accommodate five hundred people. However, the expected countless treasures were nowhere to be found; it was empty.
Looking around, Gao Shitu felt bored. "Tch, it's an empty mansion. What a disappointment."
Just as they were about to leave, a barrier suddenly enveloped the surroundings. Its solidity was such that it reflected all damage. The more you struck, the more it rebounded.
Ruo Xueli roared, "We can't get out! Who is it? You coward, show yourself and fight me for a hundred rounds!"
Ming Zhitian sneered, "You're the one who trespassed into someone else's cave mansion, and you have the nerve to complain about being trapped? If you're so good with your mouth, you'd better think of a way out."
"You!"
Suddenly, a divine soul appeared in the air. "I am the primordial soul of an Immortal King. I am here to test the passing cultivators and see how they have progressed each year. Now, I will begin with the questions..."
Xu Wudong of Min Mi Sect's Silver Gate accused arrogantly, "Where did this beast come from? Playing tricks and pretending to be divine. Believe it or not, I'll kill you with one sword!"
The primordial soul of the Immortal King flicked a finger, and Xu Wudong instantly turned into smoke. Pity, he didn't even have time to react or cry out before he ascended to heaven.
They had thought this place was only at the Dantasting Realm first level. Never did they imagine that great beings were not restricted. Even a wisp of a divine soul, even if only at the Kingly Realm, could extinguish a Dantasting Realm cultivator with a raised hand.
Silence...
Everyone present was speechless, not daring to make a sound, for fear that they would be next.
The primordial soul of the Immortal King said, "Answer correctly and be rewarded. Answer incorrectly... and die."
"!!........."
Despite their myriad frustrations, the crowd was helpless. They could not escape the grasp of fate and could only accept.
"First question: Who is the founder of the Immortal Binding Rope?"
"Huh?"
They used ropes often, but who was the founder? Everyone began to discuss.
However, it was only discussion; they had no intention of answering the question directly. Seeing this, the primordial soul of the Immortal King said, "Failure to answer means death."
Mei Lihua of the Five Fingers Sect's Line Gate said, "Hey, are you all men? Do you expect us women to stand up for you?"
Upon hearing this, Qiang Hu, the Spring Gate sect leader of Kuangye Sect, stepped forward. "Junior Sister, do not worry. Let your senior brother handle this!"
