C297 Is There Anyone in Chapter 162(1)

In the conversation with Han, we learned that the small sect competition would be held not long ago.

Lin Chen didn't wander around in the cave. He cultivated with great care, and so his days passed day after day!

After an unknown period of time, someone arrived at the residence of the outer circle disciples and said, "All outer circle disciples, gather at the main hall of Hongyang Peak. Speed!"

Lin Chen was slightly startled. Although he didn't know why they were in such a hurry to gather everyone, he guessed that they must have something important to announce.

Lin Chen walked out of the cave and headed towards the direction of the Hongyang Peak's main hall.

An hour later, Lin Chen arrived at the main hall of the Hongyang Peak. At this moment, sixty to seventy outer circle disciples were gathered in the main hall.

Most of these outer circle disciples looked very young. The smaller ones were only fifteen to sixteen years old, while the bigger ones were only around twenty-five to twenty-six years old. Judging from the aura they were emitting, they were all at least Fifth Layer of Astral Reaching Stage.

Some of them were whispering to each other, while others were looking around. Most of them were sitting cross-legged and resting with their eyes closed.

When Lin Chen saw this, he walked to the middle of the crowd and found an empty space. After that, he sat down with his legs crossed and waited quietly.

In the following time, dozens of outer sect disciples came from all directions and joined the crowd.

Not long after that, there were more than a hundred disciples in the spacious hall of Hongyang Peak. However, the Peak Master had yet to arrive, so they could only wait patiently.

After a moment, a ray of light flew over from afar and landed outside the hall. The ray of light faded and a black-robed old man appeared.

"Peak Master." Someone said. The outer sect disciples who had been secretly discussing the matter immediately stopped talking. The crowd that was sitting cross-legged stood up one after another, and their gazes simultaneously descended onto the Peak Master that had suddenly appeared.

Lin Chen suddenly opened his eyes when he heard this, and stood up. Following the gazes of the crowd, he sized up the Peak Master of Hongyang Peak.

His appearance was full of immortal Qi, and his deep gaze was full of vigor. His aura was even more unfathomable than Jiang Wu's.

Under the gazes of the crowd, the Peak Master slowly walked to the main seat of the main hall with a calm expression, then he turned around and sat down.

"Everyone, I'm the Peak Master of the Hongyang Peak's outer circle. All of you are new disciples who have entered the Hongyang Peak. I'm very happy to meet all of you." The Peak Master glanced at the new outer circle disciples and said in a flat tone.

"The reason why I have gathered all of you here is naturally for the upcoming competition. However, according to the rules, the new outer sect disciples must participate in a secret realm trial jointly held by all the outer sect disciples of my sect. Of course, the better the result. The better the reward. If you are valued by an elder, you will soar to the sky."

When Lin Chen heard this, his heart skipped a beat, and his gaze swept across the surrounding outer circle disciples. He discovered that other than a few people who had the same surprised expression, most of the others had calm expressions on their faces. Obviously, they had known about this a long time ago.

"Of course, the trial is also dangerous. It's fine if you withdraw now. However, you will lose the qualification to participate in the competition. As for the rules of the trial, someone will naturally tell you, because the rules will change every year," the Peak Master said confidently.

After the trial in the Peak Leader's Secret Area, most of the disciples became excited. Obviously, to them, this was an opportunity that they could not miss.

"There are only so many things to be announced today. Three days later will be the day the Mystical Ground trial begins. You all should prepare well for the next few days. You must bring glory to our Hongyang Peak." After the Peak Master finished speaking, he indicated for everyone to leave, then he turned around. He walked towards the back of the hall.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. At this moment, in the Hongyang Hall... All the new disciples who were willing to participate in the trial had gathered here. Among these people, some were eager to give it a try, as if they were very confident in the upcoming trial. They even chatted and laughed with the people beside them from time to time. It was very easy. Some of them had serious expressions on their faces, as if they were very nervous.

Lin Chen had also arrived at the main hall early in the morning. However, he didn't form a group. Instead, he stood alone in a corner. His figure was somewhat desolate.

At this moment, light footsteps could be heard from the main hall. The Peak Master who wore a black robe slowly and steadily walked out, and his gaze swept across everyone present.

"Greetings, Peak Master." When the new outer court disciples saw this, they naturally did not dare to be neglectful, and spoke in unison.

"Mm, it's time. Those who haven't come can be considered to have forfeited. All of you must work hard, everyone can leave now." As the sound of his voice faded, the Peak Master led them out of the Hongyang Peak.

About an hour later, they arrived in front of a mountain range. In front of them was a dense forest. It was green inside, and the scenery was pleasant. However, there was a faint chill that made one's hair stand on end.

And here, there were already numerous outer sect disciples gathered. All of them were looking at the forest in front of them with anticipation in their eyes. If it wasn't for the Peak Leaders stopping them, they would have probably charged into the forest a long time ago. Because it wasn't just a trial. It was also an opportunity. As long as you were lucky, you would be able to find a rare spiritual object even if you took two steps.

After about an hour, a purple-robed old man floated in the air above the crowd. He cleared his throat and said:"

" The disciples participating in the trial are quiet. I am the person in charge of this secret realm trial. Let me briefly explain the contents of this trial. This trial is just as you all have heard before, it is carried out in the Misty Forest. After all the disciples enter the Confusion Forest, no matter what method they use, as long as they kill five Confusion Beasts in a row, it can be counted as a successful trial. The Confusion Beasts were at the Peak of Astral Reaching Stage. Of course, you can also join hands, and you can do whatever you want. Life and death shall be decided by the heavens."0

"Later, I will cast a spell to open the entrance to the Dense Fog Forest. The location of the teleportation is completely random. The spiritual pressure inside is quite special, which is why Sun Moon Stage warriors are unable to enter this realm. They could fight inside, but they could not hurt people intentionally. If they found out... You'll be expelled from the sect." The person in charge said lightly, and at the same time, he also released a powerful spiritual pressure.

When the outer sect disciples heard this, their hearts trembled, and their relaxed mood instantly became somewhat heavy. After all, this trial was dangerous, and it wasn't a joke.

Boom!

While they were whispering to each other, the person in charge had already started to activate the refinement, and a deafening sound could be heard. The Dense Fog Forest had opened. The outer sect disciples could all feel waves of spiritual energy and a repulsive force coming from the air. It pushed everyone back slowly.

"Alright, now the passageway to the Misty Forest has been opened. You guys can go in, "the person in charge said while panting. Obviously, opening the restriction consumed a lot of spiritual energy.
