Chapter 577 - The Cheekiest Man

“Oh... Sister.”

Xuan An gasped and said in amazement, “I guessed you must be someone. But you turn out to be...”

However, Jiang Run at the corner was confused.

Such a legendary female practitioner didn’t have to covet their mediocre sect. Compared to the whole Jiuzhou Region, Linli Building in Yin and Yang Region was too small.

“Elder Huo, don’t be nervous. You only have to know that Linli Building will have an incomparable ally from now on.”

Su Li narrowed her eyes and said something astounding, “That ally is so strong...that you can show up without fear and even become the enemy of all holy sects in Qingshui Circle!”

Huo Shichun gasped and sat back onto his seat. His movement was overcautious. He forced a smile on his crumpled face and asked carefully,

“Lord Qing... Lord Jiuzhou, I still do not know why you join in Linli Building. Although the holy sects are displeased when you charge Jiuzhou Region, you are so strong that those selfish holy sects don’t dare to attack you in groups. But if you are on behalf of Linli Building...”

“I will be seen as a thorn in most of the holy sects’ flesh, right?”

Huo Shichun stopped speaking, and Su Li said what he wanted to say next with a smile on her face, “No matter why I am on behalf of Linli Building or not, I will be attacked by them together. So, why not let that group of hypocritical people be more annoyed?”

“But... Why?”

Huo Shichun was in confusion. But he only dared to ask Su Li when she finished speaking.

Su Li smiled slightly and glanced at Ling Qinglan and Yan Ziye.

Ling Qinglan looked at Yan Ziye. Yan Ziye waved his hand, “Come on, you are famous.”

“After you defected from your own sect, you are more famous than me,”

said Ling Qinglan when shaking his head. Then he released the restrictions of All Spirits Tactics to expose his original face and nodded to Huo Shichun and the other two people, who were all stupefied, “Let me introduce myself again. You should all know my previous name. But now, I have only one name—Ling Qinglan.”

“The Great Holy Boy of Tianyin Tribe. Hasn’t your soul been separated...”

Huo Shichun was so excited that he spitted his saliva uncontrollably. Then he thought of something suddenly. With wide-open eyes, he pointed at Su Li and said with a trembling voice,

“You...destroyed Tianyin Tribe!”

At this time, Yan Ziye also revealed his original face and smiled, “Let me introduce myself again. I’m Yan Ziye!”

Hearing it, Dongfang Wuxue, who was silent all the time, smiled and said, “I’m Dongfang Wuxuefrom the Dongfang Family.”

...

After three days, the entrance of Shengxian Mountain opened.

At the entrance at the foot of the mountain, practitioners flocked to gaze after the holy boys and holy girls of their own sects. But one old and one youth with glazed expressions among them were particularly noticeable.

“Senior Fellow Apprentice, what’s wrong with those two people?”

“Who knows. Maybe they are beaten or frightened to be stupid by the talents!”

Some people were whispering and gossiping. But the old and youth were still dull.

...

At the foot of Shengxian Mountain, there was a broad canyon. The talents who came to participate in the fourth round gathered in three or two, waiting for the opening of the Great Teleporting Matrix of Shengxian Mountain.

“The whole Shengxian Mountain is likely to be a large treasure. It looks like a hill, but the space inside is extremely vast. We could say it is a miniature of the world.”

While speaking, Yan Ziye patted Jiang Run who was absent-minded, “The Great Teleporting Matrix may teleport us to anywhere at the foot of Shengxian Mountain. You should cheer up. Don’t die before we meet.”

Jiang Run suddenly came to his senses and bowed low,

“Yes! Senior!”

Yan Ziye scratched his head and said helplessly, “You... Such a big reaction!”

Jiang Run found his behaviors were inappropriate. His face turned a little red, and he said apologetically, “You and my master are both legendary. I’m sorry to do it unintentionally...”

Yan Ziye waved his hand and thought that he was not legendary actually. If Jiang Run knew the legendary Holy Girl Su was next to him, he would talk all night long.

“If you have something to say, please say it after the Tianjiao Battle.”

Su Li asked suddenly, “Do you still remember the tips I gave you?”

“Yes, of course.”

Jiang Run said excitedly, “Bear right when I get to fork in the road! Then I will be safe.”

“If the rumor is true, you will be relatively safe. If you encounter one cruel enemy, you should play to the score,”

said Su Li. Then she looked at Ling Qinglan and the other one,“I don’t need to be worried about you.”

Ling Qinglan nodded, but he wondered why he hadn’t heard that if people were strong enough, they would have lucky chances after choosing the left way.

Drone!

After the vibration, a black light flashed over the canyon. Soon the canyon was covered by black light curtain. Then the blue vortex which kept turning appeared in the air gradually.

“The entrance is opening!”

The voice of the spirit of the Mysterious Realm echoed.Instantly, everyone was sucked up into the vortex.

After several breaths, in the dim environment, a light suddenly flashed on the weedy mountain road. Then a slender figure with a black veil appeared.

“Is there Shengxian Mountain?”

Su Li looked around. It was silent, and nobody was here. There was only a winding mountain path without an end.

“Ni Sect, Su Jiuzhou.”

The voice of the spirit of the Mysterious Realm sounded. It didn’t mention Su Li’s ranking but called the name that she engraved on the tablet.

“Here comes the final round of the Mysterious Realm. You have to reach the mountain top within three days. Otherwise, after you are flooded by the Endless Water, you will be eliminated. But if you come to the summit firstly, you can choose one of the collections of the owner of the Mysterious Realm and get it.”

Then the voice died away.

“The collections of the owner of the Mysterious Realm? As expected, the Tianjiao Mysterious Realm once has its owner.”

Su Li lost in thought for a second, and then she felt the light coldness from her feet.

The original dry soil exuded some water.

“I heard that the Endless Water is the best material to refine treasures. But it is so abundant here...”

Su Li narrowed her eyes and walked up along the mountain path without a second thought.

After a moment, three same turn-offs appeared in front of her. Su Li took the left fork without hesitation. And at the same time, there were countless talents who made their choices at the starting points throughout the Shengxian Mountain.

“Lord said that I should bear right.”

Jiang Run did not hesitate to take the right fork. Then the landscape in front of him suddenly changed, and he found that he was in an ancestral temple. The script on it was too indistinct to be recognized, so Jiang Run couldn’t know which ancient force it might belong to.

Jiang Run walked nearer. Then the golden words emerged in the air.

“Recite the first clause of the regulations of the clan in your heart. Then the road will show up.”

The first clause of the regulations of the clan?

What was it?

Jiang Run was at a stand. Just as what Lord Jiuzhou said, there was nothing dangerous in the ancestral temple, but it seemed that he was impossible to pass the test.

“Maybe I should quit and then take the left fork.”

When Jiang Run turned around, he was stunned since he could saw nothing but a vast expanse of whiteness.

“Lord Jiuzhou, you make me be in trouble.”

...

After Su Li passed through a weedy side road, everything changed suddenly. She found that she was in a giant grotto together with a black-robed youth who had a vertical streak of lightning between his brows.

“Are you...Su Jiuzhou?”

The youth stared at her with green light flashing in his eyes.

Su Li raised her eyebrows and heard the rare voice of Su Bai from the Cang Lei’s Cave, “Sister, he has the smell of similar origin of me. It’s so familiar.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Divine Thunder of Wood...”

Walking close to him, Su Li curled up her lips and said, “Are you the Great Holy Boy of Fenglei Holy Sect, Ban Qian?”

“It’s my honor that Fellow Practitioner Su knows my name.”

Ban Qian nodded and made a self-deprecation, “The past generations of holy boys in my Fenglei Holy Sect were brave and fearless in battle. But I even can’t rank among the top 10 of the Tianjiao List. I am so sorry to my ancestors.”

“There has been nothing perfect since the olden days. Please don’t look down upon yourself,”

said Su Li politely. She wondered why Ban Qian was so calm when they met at the Shengxian Mountain.

Squeak—

A creepy noise sounded. Su Li turned her head and saw a huge rusty iron gate, which was more than a foothigh, in the dim light.

The source of sound was the iron gate which was slowly rising.

Facing the iron gate, Su Li stood still for a second and then asked, “Fellow Practitioner Ban, which turn-off did you choose?”

“The seniors in my sect said that I just have to follow my heart in choosing the side roads without obeying any rule.”

Ban Qian smelled blood from the door, and then his face grew solemn, “But I discovered a law after I referred to all the ancient books and records with respect to the Tianjiao Battle in my sect. Although the talents who chose the left side road died most, they were most likely to stand out among others!”

Su Li glanced at Ban Qian with a smile, “Doesn’t it matter that you tell me such important information?”

Ban Qian turned his head and laughed heartily, “Naturally, I have my own plan. Fellow Practitioner Su, how about joining hands with me?”

“Oh?”

Su Li tilted her head with a meaningful smile, “Holy Boy Ban... Do you think I need an ally?”

“Fellow Practitioner Su, you are powerful and can match the holy boys of the top holy sects. Maybe you really needn’t an ally.”

Ban Qian said primly, “But I am definitely the most powerful auxiliary practitioner ever since the Qingshui Calendar was used. Fellow Practitioner Su, don’t you really need me?”

“Auxiliary practitioner... I have no idea you are the strongest or not,” Su Li chuckled and said, “but I know maybe you are the cheekiest Fenglei Holy Boy ever.”

Ban Qian’s face grew red, and he let out a deep sigh. Regardless of losing face, he still wanted to get a higher ranking on the Tianjiao List.

“However, if you can let Fenglei Holy Sect support my Ni Sect, I will help you.”

Su Li smiled complacently.

“What?”

When Ban Qian was all at sea, the giant iron gate finally rose completely with a gale.
