So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

In just one night, what benefits did he give these people to win over so many people at the same time? !

The third prince looked gloomy and stared closely at the young man sitting cross-legged under the big tree.

"Your Highness...should we withdraw first?"

The attendant behind the third prince also sensed something was wrong and secretly sent a message.

They are all carefully selected top beings among Qi-training monks, but if these thirty or so people are really bewitched by Mu Zhian... no matter how carefully selected the monks are, they cannot withstand the siege of a group of people.

Gongsun Cheng also realized that something was wrong. He stared at Mu Zhian and roared in his heart:

Why can he win over so many people at the same time? !

Previously, he thought that these people were just spectators. After all, no one would have thought that Mu Zhian could win all these people to his camp in one night.

Most of those who can participate in the sect's examination are either rich or noble, and only a few of the disciples who take the examination are from poor families.

Most of these people are extremely arrogant, and many of them are as powerful as the Gongsun family in Tianxuan City.

It is precisely because of this that when entering the Forest of Trials yesterday, these assessment disciples were constantly at odds with each other.

However, it had only been one night, and they were in the same camp as Mu Zhian...

Gongsun Cheng looked around, and could see the disciples participating in the sect's assessment on the treetops on both sides, in front of the open space, and even from all directions.

At least two-thirds of the assessment disciples are here!

The third prince looked at this scene with uncertainty. He suppressed the anger in his heart, cupped his hands, and said with a warm smile on his face: "Everyone, I am the third prince of the Daqian Dynasty."

Report your identity first and put a certain amount of pressure on these people.

"Yesterday, there was a small dispute between the eldest young master of the Mu family and me. Today I am looking for him for this private matter. If you all just retreat, you will definitely be rewarded heavily if you join the sect in the future."

These words are not unpleasant, and they also give these assessment disciples a chance to step down.

Under normal circumstances, some people might actually be shaken by the title "Third Prince".

However, at this time, these assessment disciples were all staring at the third prince silently, and no one made any movement.

The so-called third prince, and even the heavy reward he mentioned, were not as great as the temptation of joining the sect.

Not to mention that the third prince was in front of them now, even if the current prince was here, it would be useless!

The third prince frowned inadvertently, looked around at everyone present, and said with a smile: "Since you are unwilling to retreat, let's forget about it for today. The matter between me and Mr. Mu will be private after I enter the sect in the future - —”

Mu Zhian suddenly sighed: "Everyone, His Highness the Third Prince is still scaring me and making me restless. I'm afraid it will affect the preparation ceremony of the formation..."

As soon as he finished speaking, an astonishing killing intent spread across the clearing, and all the birds and beasts in the forest fled one after another.

"Young Master Mu has worked hard for our sect's assessment. If he fails the final assessment because of being disturbed, even the third prince, huh..."

"Don't worry, Master Mu. With us protecting you, we will never let anyone else disturb your preparation ceremony."

When he said this, everyone's eyes were staring at the third prince and others, with a hint of evil in their eyes.

The third prince's expression changed slightly and he subconsciously retreated.

He could feel that these murderous intentions... were coming for him!

Finally, one of the assessment disciples couldn't help but move and attacked directly in the direction of the third prince.

The first person's move seemed to detonate the scene directly, and more people joined the 'battlefield' and attacked the third prince and Gongsun Cheng.

"Stop them!"

The third prince's scalp was numb. After shouting loudly, he turned around and wanted to leave without looking back.

But at this time, the two assessment disciples of the sixth level of Qi training in front of him took action at the same time, stopping him here.

People have a herd mentality. Although the other party is the third prince, this is the Liang Yi Sect now, and there are so many people taking action, and the other party has no idea who is following whom.

What's more, as long as you can enter the Liangyi Sect, no matter what price you pay, it will be worth it.

Seeing that the scene became extremely chaotic, Ye Lingxuan stood up and wanted to help, but Mu Zhian immediately held down her shoulders.

"You can just stay here. It's enough for them to take action."

Ye Lingxuan pursed her lips, seeming a little unconvinced, and said softly: "I'm not as weak as you think."

"Of course I know this, but with so many people here now, even if you don't take action, it will be enough to resolve the battle." Mu Zhian looked at Ye Lingxuan and said with a smile: "If you join the battle, I will worry about you."

The sunlight reflected in Ye Lingxuan's peach blossom eyes, shining brightly. She glanced at Mu Zhian with sparkling eyes and said nothing.

I should be a royal sister, but why do I suddenly feel that young girls are pretty good too... Mu Zhian looked at Ye Lingxuan's snow-white side face and couldn't help but secretly thought.

Although Mu Zhian wanted to test whether touching Ye Lingxuan's little hand would result in him scolding him, in the end, Mu Zhian still held back.

This is the Forest of Trials, and it's still in broad daylight, so you can't do anything too intimate.

After all, those elders or the leader must be watching this scene somewhere... maybe Senior Sister Lan is also present.

"Are you really sure you can take them out of the Forest of Trials?" Ye Lingxuan suddenly said.

"Of course, my word is my bond." Mu Zhian said with a smile.

Ye Lingxuan was still a little worried and continued to transmit: "But this may cause dissatisfaction among those who are assessing."

After all, it is no wonder that Ye Lingxuan would be a little worried about bringing so many assessing disciples through the sect assessment at once.

Mu Zhian had a different opinion: "I don't think so."

"If the assessment difficulty of Canghai Peak was the same in previous years, I don't believe that many people could pass. I am helping them lower the admission standards and recruit more disciples."

Mu Zhian smiled at the three princes and others who had been beaten dizzy, and continued: "What's more, everything I did was in line with the assessment rules."

...

Under the sky, Yi Hao, the head of Canghai Peak, looked at the picture emerging in the bronze mirror.

In the picture, the three princes and others were already retreating step by step. They tried to escape several times but were stopped by others. They looked quite miserable.

Yi Huayun, the head of the Herbal Medicine Pavilion, put his hands behind his back, looked at the bronze mirror suspended in the air, and smiled faintly:

"The eldest young master of the Mu family is quite smart. He knows how to win over others to deal with others, but I am curious about how he plans to end it next."

Mu Zhian is smart. He won over these people to be free thugs to deal with the third prince and others, but if Mu Zhian fails to give these free thugs what they want... the next unlucky person will be Mu Zhian.

Not far from the three people, Lan Murian, who was wearing a moon-white dress, was stepping on a cloud. Her beautiful face was covered by a veil, and her eyes were shining, quietly looking at the picture in the bronze mirror.

"He is not the kind of person who does things without a beginning or an end. Before each action, he should have thought of the back-up plan." Lan Murian said calmly.

"Oh?"

Yi Hao's eyes were full of interest. He looked sideways and said with a smile, "From the looks of it, you seem to know this young master of the Mu family who is participating in the sect assessment this time?"

This sect master's closed disciple is cold and noble by nature. It is quite strange for her to have such an evaluation.

"To be honest, I can't think of how he will end up." Yi Huayun, the head of the Medicinal Food Pavilion, suddenly spoke.

They couldn't hear what the people in the Trial Forest were saying, but from the picture, they could also get a general idea.

But most of these assessment disciples have a pretty good background, and they should not lack any elixirs or the like... In order to make everyone willing to work for him, Mu Zhian must have given some conditions that are hard to refuse.

Now the matter of the third prince has been resolved, but it is time for Mu Zhian to fulfill his promise.

"Wait..."

Seeing the third prince and others fleeing in a panic under the "righteous gang fight", Yi Hao's eyes fell on Mu Zhian, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

After staring for a while, Yi Hao opened his eyes slightly and said in surprise: "Is this Mu Zhian manipulating the formation of the Trial Forest?"

Lan Mulian looked over and saw Mu Zhian sitting cross-legged in front of a big tree, and then the more than 30 disciples stood beside him, each of them made a gesture, as if to stimulate the spiritual energy in their bodies.

Yan Ruyu, the head of the Liangyi Sect's library, narrowed her eyes slightly, her hands clasped around her chest, and her loose robes showed two huge human hearts under this action.

Yan Ruyu stared at the boy with his eyes slightly closed with her gorgeous red eyes, as if she had vaguely guessed something, and said: "He wants to send all the test disciples to the top of the mountain together?"

The formation of the Trial Forest does have such a teleportation ability, but only those who understand the structure of the formation can do it.

Could this Mu Zhian be a genius in the formation?

Yi Huayun frowned and said, "This kind of assessment is a bit unfair."

Yi Hao stared at the young man in the bronze mirror. After a while, there was a little more appreciation in his eyes, and he smiled and said, "It doesn't matter."

"The assessment of Canghai Peak is not fair. The other party can comprehend some of the basics of the Trial Forest Formation and lead others to pass the sect assessment together. It is indeed within the rules."

"It's a pity that he is only at the fifth level of Qi training." Yan Ruyu said with some regret.

If this Mu Zhian is at the ninth level of Qi training, he will probably be the biggest dark horse in this sect assessment.

After all, Liangyi Sect has not produced a genius in formation for a long time.

It is quite rare for Liangyi Sect's disciples to comprehend the formation in the Trial Forest within one day.

In Liangyi Sect, there are many disciples who have the identity of alchemists, but there are very few disciples who can draw formations.

Lan Mulian glanced at the three people present and then retracted her gaze.

She knew the real secret of Mu Zhian, but she didn't intend to tell it.

Mu Zhian's true value is neither his strength nor his demon-level talent shown in the formation, but...

The other cauldron in his body.

For a cultivator of the same sex, the natural cauldron is just a chicken rib.

But if it is the opposite sex...

Lan Mulian inadvertently glanced at Yan Ruyu, who exuded a mature charm and had a faint smile on her face. She asked with a smile:

"Senior Sister Yan is now in the third level of Return to Void?"

The Return to Void Realm is slightly different from other realms. After the third level of Return to Void, there will be a bottleneck period. The more you go back, the more difficult it is to improve one level. Some people may not be able to make another step forward even if they spend decades.

Yan Ruyu smiled and nodded, saying: "I can't compare with Junior Sister's talent. I have been in the third level of Return to Void for six years."

"Why did you suddenly mention this, Junior Sister?" Yan Ruyu turned her head slightly to look at Lan Mulian and asked with a faint smile.

Lan Mulian stared at the young man in the bronze mirror dimly, her lips under the gauze inadvertently raised, and she said softly: "It's okay~"

She casually changed the subject and said: "Uncle Yi, it should take two incense sticks of time for the formation to end. I will take them to the Pilgrimage Hall later. If you have anything to do, you can go back first."

Yi Hao looked at Lan Mulian with a little surprise, as if he didn't expect her to take the initiative to help.

But soon, Yi Hao smiled and nodded: "Then I'll leave it to you. With Junior Sister here, you can rest assured to meditate and practice to deal with the subsequent heavenly tribulation."

"Brother, have you thought about the quota for the inner disciples this time?" Yan Ruyu suddenly asked with a smile.

In this sect assessment, a total of nine inner disciples will be selected from the nine main peaks.

The remaining disciples will start as outer disciples, and the top three will become inner disciples in the sect competition three years later.

Yi Hao smiled and said, "Don't worry, the quota for inner disciples will be announced in the Pilgrimage Hall in a week."

After the sect assessment today, Liangyi Sect will arrange accommodation for the disciples who pass the test.

And in front of the Pilgrimage Hall a week later, the heads of the nine main peaks will gather in front of the hall to select nine inner disciples.

It can be said that if you can directly become an inner disciple this time, you will have a huge gap with your peers.

Of course, there are exceptions to everything. If you really encounter two talented disciples who are difficult to choose, occasionally there will be a head seat who will make an exception and accept two people.

Yi Hao and the other two left. Lan Murian turned her head to look at the more than 30 disciples who had already arrived at the top of Canghai Peak. Her eyes fell directly on Mu Zhian, who was the leader, and flew towards there.

At this time, all the disciples who were taking the test were very excited. Even those who were calm and composed showed joy on their faces and gathered around Mu Zhian to thank him.

Mu Zhian kept smiling and chatting with everyone until he suddenly felt that all the disciples who were taking the test were silent for a moment, and their eyes were all looking behind him.

Mu Zhian turned his head and saw the cold and aloof Jade Beauty flying towards here on the clouds.

"Senior sister." Mu Zhian clasped his fists respectfully and performed all the etiquette.

Lan Mulian looked around at everyone, nodded politely, and then smiled and said, "Follow me, I will take you to the Pilgrimage Hall."

"After that, someone will arrange your future residence."

Everyone was secretly relieved when they heard this.

From Lan Mulian's answer, we can know that the seniors in the sect did not object to their "cheating" way of passing the level.

Lan Murian raised her hand and picked up a few clouds, and led everyone over the peak, through the clouds, and flew to the destination.

Pilgrimage Hall!

Peach blossoms were in full bloom on both sides, and not far in front was a magnificent palace exuding an ancient atmosphere.

At this time, many disciples of the sect who had passed the assessment had gathered in the square. They were led by their senior brothers and sisters in the sect, and were excited to go to their future residence.

This scene was a bit like the feeling of freshmen entering college in modern times, and it was very lively.

With the arrival of Lan Murian, the eyes of all the disciples could not help but look over, all looking at the senior sister with a cold temperament, and many people looked at the female disciples who had passed the assessment of Canghai Peak, secretly comparing the appearance of the female disciples.

Bai Ruoxi also looked up, and when she saw the two sisters beside Mu Zhian, her eyebrows slightly frowned.

She stepped on her cloud-embroidered short boots, walked gracefully, and came to Mu Zhian with a smile, saying, "You passed the test so quickly?"

Lan Murian glanced at Bai Ruoxi lightly, and seemed not to care, but ordered people to take these future disciples of the sect to the place where they would live in an orderly manner.

After doing all this, she turned her head to look at Mu Zhian and others, and her voice was cold and pleasant: "Come with me, I will take you to the place where you will live in the future."

Mu Zhian said respectfully: "Then I'll trouble you, senior sister."

Lan Murian said "hmm" lightly.

When Bai Ruoxi stepped on the white clouds, she looked around at the misty scenery and the peach blossoms blooming on both sides of the pilgrimage hall, and suddenly said with emotion: "The Liangyi Sect is full of fairy spirit and spiritual energy. It is really a treasure land."

"In the future, when you meditate and practice in the sect, your speed will be much faster than the outside world." Lan Murian replied with a smile.

Bai Ruoxi was more concerned about a question: "If the flowers cultivated here are not grown with Liuguang soil, they probably won't wither easily, right?"

For some reason, when the few people heard the word "Liuguang soil", the harmonious atmosphere suddenly stagnated.

Mu Zhian's heartbeat even stopped for a moment.
