Chapter 20 What if I am condemned by thousands of people? I will take an unconventional approach!
Yunluan Mountain, Demon-Locking Forest.

The young palace master who is pure and flawless, and has lived an untainted life. Among all the disciples, the eldest sister Song Fanjing is as fairy-like and saintly.

After going out for half a year of training and searching for the opportunity to obtain the third-step 'Yuan Dan', he made big news for the entire Yunluan Mountain as soon as he came back.

I heard that when she returned to the mountain gate, she brought a "demon" with her.

Also, he was asked to pass the test of the secular elder and enter the Demon-Locking Forest.

Follow the rules.

Every Yunluan disciple who enters the mountain must first learn boxing for half a year, then practice sword for half a year, then enter the Demon-Locking Forest, kill a captured demon, and use its essence as a precious medicine to open up the foundation of martial arts. Only then can he be considered a true disciple of the Sword Palace.

Unlike spirits, demons are covered in human skin and are no different from humans unless they reveal their true form on their own accord.

Moreover, because of their bloodline, they have more means of bloodline supernatural powers than humans in the same realm, and are extremely difficult to deal with.

If it weren't for the sword energy restriction that permeates the Demon-Locking Forest all day long and never dissipates, the demons would be imprisoned and their strength would be reduced by nine-tenths.

Ten disciples who have not entered the country are not enough to deliver the food.

Rather, this level is a test for disciples.

It would be better to say that it is to tell the disciples to overcome their fear of "demons" so that from now on, when faced with a strong enemy at a critical moment of life and death, they will have the courage to draw their swords without fear.

but.
These are all tests for people.

Ever since the ups and downs of Yunluan Mountain and the establishment of the sect more than a hundred years ago, it has never been heard that a "half-demon" could enter.

If Da Zhao had not established the country and established order, it would have only hunted down and killed all the evil demons, and did not label the human-demon hybrids as evil species and kill them all.

I am afraid that the current situation will become even more difficult.

After all, "those who are not of my race must have different hearts."

This strange look and natural exclusion had been deeply rooted long before the founding of Da Zhao.

During the seven days that Song Chai Xin went through the trial in the 'Demon Locking Forest'.

Word of his deeds gradually spread.

"Hey, did you hear that the eldest sister didn't hesitate to contradict Elder Pu and personally intervene in the sect's affairs just to register a 'half-demon' into the sect's register and let him enter the Demon Locking Forest!"

"That shouldn't be the case. When I was a disciple, Senior Sister Song Fanjing had killed hundreds of demons with her sword, if not thousands. I heard that every time she went down the mountain, demons below the third step within a few hundred miles would be terrified. That's why she has a nickname, 'Slaying Demons in Eight Hundred Miles'!"

"It was only because she was looking for the opportunity to obtain the Yuan Dan in recent years that she gradually kept a low profile. Otherwise, her sword and white dress would have been stained with demon blood all year round, as if she were a killer god."

"How could such a person collude with demons?"

"Well, you can't judge a person by his appearance. What do you know?"

"I heard that the half-demon was the descendant of a real dragon and was very handsome. Our young palace master, who was so handsome and elegant, couldn't help but be tempted by her and wanted to keep her in his golden house."

"No way!"

"Why not? Everyone has desires, regardless of gender. For someone like the Young Palace Master who practices swordsmanship all year round and restrains his nature, once it erupts, it will be like a mountain torrent or a tsunami, and nothing can stop it!"

"Do you think this incident will alert the Yunluan Sword Master who is in seclusion in the Yunding Tianchi, the great man at the peak of the third step?"

"How can a small matter of a half-demon initiation shock such a being? You are overthinking it."

Rumors like this.

It spreads from one person to ten people, and from ten to a hundred people.

In particular, the target of the rumor was the man who was known as one of the strongest geniuses in the future Northwestern "Aquarius State".

After all, apart from her young age, Song Fanjing's other talents and abilities are on par with the best in the world.

This kind of high-ranking person actually has little relationship with the middle and lower-level disciples.

In daily life, apart from expressing "respect" for status.

Compared to hearing about her deeds of "slaying demons and eliminating evil spirits",

Most people naturally prefer to listen to these exaggerated gossips.

The entrance to the Demon-Locking Forest.

I heard that the 'trial period' is about to end.

Many disciples from other sects came upon hearing the news, whispering to each other.

"Master, how can you let a 'half-demon' enter the Demon Locking Forest? Even if Senior Sister Song nods and Elder Pu agrees, this is still too ridiculous!"

"Listen to what these fellow disciples are talking about these days."

The three great elders of Yunluan Mountain, the law enforcement elders responsible for supervising the 'Demon Locking Forest', and the chief of the sect, Cui Chan, were indignant.

The law enforcement elder holding the sword glanced at his disciple with a calm expression:

"I am in charge of the Demon Locking Forest and am only responsible for two things." "One, protecting the sect."

"Second, suppress the evil spirits in this place."

"As for recruiting disciples and who to recruit, that is not my responsibility. Since Pu Zhengquan has given his approval, he will naturally be responsible for it."

Although the law enforcement elder does not like half-demons.

But it would not offend Song Fanjing.

To put it bluntly.

Unless the Master of Yunluan Sword, or the future heir of Yunluan Mountain is a demon.

Otherwise, let alone half-demons, even if she was willing to raise two demons, who would care about it openly?
not to mention.
Covered in blood, with his skin and tendons as if "reborn", Song Chaixin, who was completely different from the one who had entered before, walked out of the pitch-black Demon-Locking Forest.

The first time I saw Song Chai Xin.

The law enforcement elder who had reached the third step of cultivation had deep eyes and seemed to be thinking:
"Even if the blood of a dragon is rare, it is still an extremely rare spiritual nourishment for humans."

"The first volume of the Golden Gate Locking Jade Art is from the Northwest Aquarius State. It is the most suitable first step in the foundation-building secret method before the 'Great Innate' determines the main cultivation method."

“If he uses burning dragon blood as a price, Wuguan Foundation Building in a short period of time will not be able to stop him.”

"He's a good candidate. In the past seven days, we have proven that he has a tough character and is determined to kill. If he were not a half-demon, he would be the best in the entire Yunluan Mountain, except for Song Fanjing, in terms of character."

"Pity."

At this time,
Ji Xia, who plays Song Chai Xin, walks out of the Demon-Locking Forest.

[You have broken through the martial arts foundation of 'Golden Muscle and Jade Meridians', and the feedback from the Dragon Blood Ritual has been successfully triggered.]

[He will allow you to obtain talents that are difficult for ordinary people to possess. ]

[Perhaps your aptitude is not good for a demon, but your weak human body, combined with your superior understanding, is enough to make you a 'prodigy' in cultivation.]

[After walking out of the Demon-Locking Forest, your 'Entrance Examination' has been completely completed, but your situation is not good. ]

[Because of you, rumors gradually spread on Yunluan Mountain. The chief disciple of the law enforcement elder, Cui Chan, who is at the Great Innate Realm, is dismissive of you and looks at you as if he were an ant.]

[“We have heard about your deeds, but if you really want to be good to the Young Palace Master, leaving Yunluan Mountain is your best choice. Otherwise, your existence will bring shame to her.”]

[Cui Chan, the chief of the Demon Locking Forest, a 'great innate master' of martial arts, if he didn't have that most dazzling pearl that overwhelmed everyone, he could have earned the name of a genius.]

[His hostility towards you makes it difficult for you to socialize with the forces in Yunluan Mountain.]

No, you are sick.

in reality.

Ji Xia's face darkened.

I had been practicing well in the 'Book of Samsara' and thought I could practice some superior secret techniques on Yunluan Mountain to gain some benefits for myself.

And yet you insist on finding fault with me.

Martial arts 'great innateness'!
According to seniority, those who have just entered the martial arts foundation-building stage have to call Song Fanjing and Cui Chan "Uncle Master" or "Uncle Master".

My cultivation level is low, so I'm afraid I can only endure it.

But
[Song Fanjing came here after hearing the news, and heard the rumors. He also happened to hear Cui Chan's evaluation of you.]

[Out of pity, and also out of some secret pain in her heart, she drew her sword.]

[At that moment, the famous sword named 'Han Xue', the blood-drinking single sword that slaughtered nearly a hundred demons in Xuanqing Lake, pointed its tip directly at 'Cui Chan'. ]

[At the same time, the woman's tone was as cold as frost in June: "Junior brother, if you are dissatisfied with my decision."]

[“On the sect’s sword punishment platform, I can fight with you for the position of ‘Young Palace Master’. If you can defeat me with swordsmanship, Song Chaixin and I will leave Yunluan together.”]

[“Do you dare? Should you?”]

The woman had a cold expression and her pretty face was as cold as ice.

But the words she said made Ji Xia, who was deducing reincarnation, stunned.

Song Fan mirror.
This woman.

If I put myself in Song Chaixin's shoes, there would be no doubt about it.

Song Fanjing is the only ray of light in his current life.

She clearly said that she would not support him, but even in the face of the cold eyes and ridicule from her fellow disciples, she still drew her sword without hesitation.

The memory of the woman's clothes fluttering, falling from Yunhe's back, and drawing her sword from its sheath, as smooth as flowing water, emerged in his mind.

Ji Xia felt that if he had the chance, he should repay this girl.
