1998 Number One


    More importantly, this seemed to be the kind that was specially tamed. It was slightly different from ordinary contracted fiends.


    The wound on the Gray-Winged Demon Wolf’s neck had already healed. Moreover, it was covered very tightly by its fur. If one didn’t get close enough to take a closer look, they wouldn’t notice it at all.


    Judging from the marks and condition of the scar, it should be quite deep. This Gray-Winged Demon Wolf must have suffered a lot.


    Outside the God Residence Realm, if one can contract ninth-grade fiends, they would be overjoyed. Who would be so ruthless?


    !!


    Unless the other party didn’t take this ninth-grade Gray-Winged Demon Wolf seriously at all.


    He Ziji and He Zn nced at each other, feeling a little strange. They didn’t understand why Chu Liuyue and Rong Xiu kept staring at the Gray-Winged Demon Wolf’s corpse.


    But when they thought of the strength she had disyed just now, the waves in their hearts still couldn’t calm down. She must have her own reasons for doing this…


    “Looks like this Taiyang Mountain is indeed not very peaceful.” Rong Xiu’s lips curled up as he smiled slightly.


    Chu Liuyue nced at him and knew that the two of them were thinking the same thing. She nodded and smiled back.”Yeah, but this trip was worth it.”


    She looked toward the top of the mountain. “Let’s go! I wonder what other surprises are waiting for us up there!”


    …


    Just like that, the few of them continued to advance toward the top of the mountain.


    Perhaps it was because she still had lingering fears from the scene just now, but He Zn didn’t dare to be impudent anymore. She ran to her brother’s side and followed him without saying a word.


    She looked at Chu Liuyue from time to time. Her eyes were filled with curiosity and inquiry, as well as a trace of envy and jealousy. This woman looks to be less than 20 years old. Her entire body is ordinary, and there is nothing eye-catching about her. However, who would’ve thought that her strength would be so great the moment she attacked… With such standards, she will probably be ranked in the top few in this challenge.


    As for her husband, although he had yet to make a move, He Zn no longer dared to underestimate them.


    Without He Zn’s noisy voice, the surroundings instantly became much quieter.


    He Ziji wanted to ask a few questions, but in the end, he chose to give up. These two people are probably stronger than I had expected…


    The few of them walked quietly.


    Perhaps it was because Chu Liuyue had the bloody aura of a Gray-Winged Demon Wolf on her, which was rather intimidating, but they didn’t encounter any trouble for the next hour.


    Swoosh!


    A piercing sound was heard all of a sudden!


    The few of them stopped at the same time.


    He Ziji was the first to speak warily. “Who’s there?”


    A momentter, a figure appeared in their line of sight.


    Chu Liuyue confirmed it in her heart. Little Zhou!


    He was extremely fast, and his movement technique was agile. With a few leaps in the forest, he had already arrived not far from them.


    Then, he stopped on a tree and looked up at them.


    He Ziji and his sister immediately became nervous. “It’s you?”


    Wasn’t this the youth who had been hesitating in front of the bronze mirror?


    He was extremely beautiful and exquisite. His soft golden short hair was even more unforgettable.


    They had a deep impression of him, so they recognized him at first nce.


    “What do you want?” He Ziji sensed the strong smell of blood on the young man’s body and frowned.


    However, Little Zhou ignored him and only nced at him indifferently. Then, he turned around and broke a thumb-thick branch from the tree before throwing it out!


    Right on the heels of that, a short, painful cry came from not far away.


    He Ziji and He Zn’s expression changed. This is a human voice!


    Is he killing someone?


    But after a short period of shock, they quickly epted this fact. That was because life and death didn’t matter in the challenge of Taiyang Mountain!


    Competition and even killing were allowed!


    It was no wonder that people died here. They could only me themselves for not being strong enough!


    But… Little Zhou casually threw a tree branch and killed a cultivator… Such strength was really not to be underestimated!


    Little Zhou turned around.


    Just as He Ziji thought that he wasing over, Little Zhou retracted his gaze and left quickly.


    The thin figurepletely disappeared into the forest after a while.


    “…He left just like that?” He Zn let out a long breath. “I thought he wasing over to fight us!”


    He Ziji felt relieved. “We have the advantage in numbers. He shouldn’t dare to act recklessly.”


    As he spoke, he nced at Chu Liuyue and Rong Xiu. For some reason, he had a vague feeling that the reason why the young man didn’te over just now was due to these two people…


    Perhaps it was because of some kind of fear?


    But no matter what, they managed to avoid trouble.


    The youth’s strength is clearly above ours. At the thought of this, He Ziji felt bitter.


    He had long heard that those who came to Yunzhou to participate in the challenge were all top geniuses, each of them extraordinary. However, he didn’t expect that the few people he encountered were actually stronger than him!


    Originally, he was quite confident in himself. Now, not long after the challenge began, his confidence was almost shattered.


    This small interlude didn’t seem to affect them much.


    After Little Zhou left, they quickly continued forward.


    …


    ...


    On the way, they encountered a few more troubles. But in Chu Liuyue and Rong Xiu’s eyes, they were nothing.


    The two of them didn’t even do much. Most of them were handed over to He Ziji and He Zn.


    The talent and strength of these two siblings were actually not bad, even if they couldn’t bepared to Chu Liuyue and Rong Xiu… Of course, thisparison was very hooligan-like.


    During this process, Chu Liuyue ced more of her attention on the fiends that appeared in the forest.


    Later on, they encountered two more ninth-grade fiends. Without exception, they also had simr wounds on their bodies like the Gray-Winged Demon Wolf.


    Clearly, someone had reared fiends and deliberately released them at this time.


    As for the purpose… It was obvious! They just wanted to quickly screen these participants!


    …


    Two days quickly passed.


    On the morning of the third day, a clear and melodious whistle sounded from the top of the mountain!


    Chu Liuyue looked up.


    ...


    At this moment, they were already two-thirds of the way up the mountain. They could barely see the figure of Hong An hovering above the mountaintop.


    For the past few days, he had been there keeping watch—or rather, monitoring the entire process of thepetition.


    “Looks like someone’s already at the top,” said Rong Xiu softly as he raised his brows.


    He Ziji and his sister looked disappointed. It was a pity that we couldn’t get first ce.


    He Ziji thought about it and finally couldn’t help but ask, “Brother Baili, you guys clearly have a chance to fight for first ce. Why…”
