3"What's going on? It's been more than ten minutes, why isn't it over yet?"

When Ye Xiu and Xu Zifeng had guarded Leng Yue for more than ten minutes, Ye Xiu finally started to frown deeply.

Logically speaking, with Leng Yue's strength, it should not be difficult to deal with him, so ten minutes was definitely more than enough.

But as for now, excluding the time that Ye Xiu and the others didn't come, Leng Yue had already fought with this illusion for more than ten minutes.

If the battle took too long, it would not be a good thing for Leng Yue, he might even lose the match.

If Leng Yue lost and received heavy injuries, it would truly be a pity, because the reason she had been suppressing her own cultivation for so long was so that she could enter the Sky Sect Site again.

"Master, Leng Yue's aura is stable, there shouldn't be any problems, it's just that the battle has not ended yet, maybe her opponent is hard to deal with." Ye Long replied.

Ye Xiu naturally hoped that it was like this, but what if it wasn't, he had no way of fighting right now.

"Ye Long, do you have a way to let my consciousness enter Leng Yue's mind?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Master, this is impossible, and even if I can do it, if there is any deviation, it will definitely be fatal danger for Leng Yue." Ye Long reminded.

If at that time, not only did Ye Xiu not help him, but something was going to happen to Leng Yue because of his appearance, he would definitely blame himself.

Therefore, in order to prevent accidents from happening, Ye Long had to give a careful reminder.

"Alright, looks like we can only rely on Leng Yue." Ye Xiu said.

Because he couldn't help, Ye Xiu could only silently guard beside Leng Yue.

Fortunately, this maze was very big, and the staff was very scattered. Otherwise, if one were to encounter the mysterious man and someone else had arrived, it would be very dangerous.

After all, there were only twenty spots, and there were only forty odd people participating in the competition. In other words, less than half of the participants were able to obtain the qualifications to enter the Sky Sect Site.

And if he could eliminate a single person at this time, then his chances of winning would be much higher.

Therefore, it was not impossible to take the opportunity to seriously injure a person. After all, in the third round of the competition, disciples were not allowed to fight with each other.

If there were any rules, then this action would definitely be against the rules. Even if he obtained the qualifications, it would be forcefully revoked.

But now, there were no rules in this area. This meant that the disciples could make a move to get rid of him.

"Master, another shadow is coming!"

Just as Ye Xiu and Xu Zifeng were waiting, Ye Long's voice suddenly came out again.

"Is that so?"

Hearing this, Ye Xiu's brows lightly twitched, and at this time, the shadow Ye Long spoke of appeared in front of the two of them once again.

"Xu Zifeng, let me handle this." Ye Xiu said as he looked at the illusory image that appeared in front of him and the vigilant Xu Zifeng beside him.

The shadow that had appeared in front of the two of them was not holding a profound weapon, so this shadow should be the same one that Ye Xiu had encountered before.

"Alright!"

Xu Zifeng didn't disagree with Ye Xiu's words, so he naturally retreated obediently to the side at this moment.

However, just as Ye Xiu was about to go up and fight with the illusion, he realized that he could not reach the illusion at all.

On the contrary, when Ye Xiu approached the shadow, the shadow intentionally or unintentionally walked closer to Xu Zifeng.

"Master, this illusion is most likely aimed at Xu Zifeng, so you are simply unable to get close to it." Ye Long replied.

"Is it for him?"

Ye Xiu frowned, could it be that he had already turned into an illusion, so there would no longer be an illusion staring at him?

If that was really the case, then not only would Leng Yue encounter an illusion, Yan Xiang would also encounter an illusion.

"Ye Long, check if all the people on the first floor will encounter a shadow." Ye Xiu asked.

"Master, it seems to be true."

Listening to Ye Xiu's words, Ye Long immediately tried to sense it for a bit, and at this time, he saw that quite a few disciples were in the same situation as Leng Yue.

"Then what about Yan Xiang!"

Ye Xiu continued to ask.

"Master, for now, Yan Xiang has not been targeted by the shadow, but I have already seen a shadow approaching him." Ye Long replied.

"It seems like my guess is right. Everyone will be targeted by a phantom, and once I defeat it, my illusion will stay here." Ye Xiu said.

Although Ye Xiu was not clear about the Nine Profound Trial Tower, but from the various signs, his guess was not wrong.

No matter who it was, as long as they entered this Nine Profound Trial Tower, they would encounter the afterimage left behind by the person before. And only those who defeated the person and left behind the afterimage would be able to continue within this maze, otherwise, they would definitely be expelled.

"Yan Xiang, I cannot help you with this trial. If you want to change your fate, you have to pass this trial yourself." Ye Xiu muttered in his heart.

This was because every single phantom was left behind by a human. Furthermore, only those who had defeated the original would leave behind afterimages. This way, as time passed, the afterimages would only grow stronger and stronger.

This was probably the intention of the sect master, the number one person in the Nine Profound Sect. Because, these figures would only grow stronger and stronger, which meant that their Nine Profound Sect would only grow stronger and stronger.

"Xu Zifeng, stop running, this shadow is coming straight at you, it's useless for you to run. Just face it, defeat it, and then, your shadow will be left here for others to challenge." Ye Xiu said.

Originally, Xu Zifeng had purposely avoided the image because of Ye Xiu's words, but now that Ye Xiu had said that the image was coming towards him, he naturally did not dodge anymore.

"Bring it on!"

Xu Zifeng bellowed, and when he stopped in his tracks, the shadow that was pouncing towards him entered his body.

In the next second, Xu Zifeng froze in place, and his eyes closed.

Ye Xiu looked at the two in front of him. His face was filled with hope, hoping that the two of them would be able to make it through this trial.

No matter what, with Ye Long in the trap of the maze, Ye Xiu could help them avoid it. However, the illusion was different, as everyone had to pass this test.

"Puff puff!"

Just when everyone had gone through the test, someone suddenly spat out blood.

Although the disciples that had entered had gone through two tests, so there was no need to say anything more about their strength, this was after all, the Nine Profound Sect's trial ground, so there might be powerful individuals amongst the shadows that had been left behind.

As a result, after they finished reading the blood, their eyes snapped open. As their Qi weakened, a force quickly acted upon their bodies.

This power was not strong at first, but when they felt this force pushing them outwards, some people naturally started to resist.

As the resistance increased, the force acting on them also increased.

There was no other way. Rules were just rules. Since someone was in the tower, they naturally had to accept the rules of the tower.

Since he was severely injured, there was no way for him to continue. Even if he tried to resist, it would be useless. His injuries would only worsen because of the collision.

After these few people understood this principle, they naturally did not dare to continue fighting against the power produced by the tower. As they gave up resisting, they were naturally forcibly moved out of the tower.

"Master, four people have been moved out."

When the four of them were moved out at almost the same time, Ye Long replied softly.

"So fast!"

Hearing that, Ye Xiu was startled, the competition had just begun and four people were eliminated.

There were only a total of 40 people. If they were eliminated at this speed, then 20 spots would soon appear.

Of course, it was precisely because the elimination rate was not low here that the Nine Profound Sect did not hesitate to use this tower as the third round of the competition. And their goal was very simple as well;

"Ye Long, where are the three disciples that are looking for Nine Profound Sect?" Ye Xiu suddenly thought of something, and then asked.

"Master, when I counted the number of people, I found that there are already three missing from the first floor. Clearly, they have entered the second floor." Ye Long replied.

"So fast?"

Ye Xiu was startled for a moment. Although a few hours had passed, so far, Ye Xiu had only found Leng Yue.

And in this short amount of time, the three disciples of Nine Profound Sect had already gone to the second floor.

"If they can enter the second floor, then based on the speed at which they have just been eliminated, it's very likely that the three disciples of Nine Profound Sect have a high chance of obtaining a placing in the Sky Sect Site." Ye Xiu said.

Of course, because they were familiar with the operation of the tower, the three disciples of Nine Profound Sect started to look for afterimages the moment they entered the tower.

These afterimages were all left behind by the Nine Profound Sect disciples from before. For disciples who had learned from the same sect, their moves were basically the same, so it wasn't too difficult for them to defeat the afterimages.

"It seems that only people who have left behind their own phantoms will be able to enter the second level." Ye Xiu muttered.

"Master, Yan Xiang also encountered an illusion, but his luck might not be bad. The illusion he encountered had a profound artifact." Ye Long replied.

"Oh?"

Ye Xiu was startled, but in the next second he reacted.

No matter what, Ye Xiu had taught Yan Xiang a lot of things, but these things were all sword techniques and not bare handed.

If Yan Xiang were to encounter an illusion with his bare hands, then he had to deal with it with his bare hands as well.

But now, Yan Xiang had encountered a shadow that had a profound artifact, which meant that he could also use a profound artifact in battle.

"Looks like there's still a great chance!" Ye Xiu nodded silently.

Although the shadow was different from the two people Yan Xiang met before, but if Yan Xiang understood the profound meaning of the sword technique he had learnt before, then dealing with it shouldn't be a problem, even without Ye Xiu's advice beforehand.
