Trying to find trouble?
Seeing this, Shi Shan's expression turned slightly cold. He looked at Sword Merciless and said coldly, "Younger brother Jiang Feng has passed the Master's examination in the Qin Kingdom."
"So what?" Jian Wushuang's expression was ice-cold as he spat out these words.
Shi Shan said lowly, "Therefore, junior brother Jiang Feng is already a disciple of the Qingyu Sect. Get out of my way."
As his voice fell, Shi Shan's aura burst forth, causing Jiang Feng to be shocked. Senior brother Shi Shan, who looked very simple and honest at the fifth level of the Violet Manor, had such powerful strength.
Jian Wushuang's face turned pale. He, who was at the first level of the Violet Manor, was no match for Shi Shan. The reason why he was so powerful was that he was under the pressure of his master's dignity.
"Humph, is this how Mo Qing teaches his disciples? How dare he attack a disciple of the same sect?" At this moment, a cold and dignified voice sounded. Then, a gray-clothed man came with several disciples.
His face was calm, but it gave people an extremely cold feeling.
"Elder Yan Tie." Shi Shan hurriedly withdrew his aura and bowed to the newcomer.
No matter how Elder Yan Tie and his master fought, a disciple had to pay his respects to an elder.
"What's going on?" Yan Tie looked at Jian Wushuang and asked knowingly.
Jian Wushuang briefly explained the matter, causing Yan Tie's gaze to sink. He berated, "What are you waiting for? He's not a sect disciple, so who told you to let him in?"
Jian Wushuang's body trembled, and the two guards trembled all over. They subconsciously walked towards Jiang Feng, wanting to chase him out.
"Elder Yan Tie, junior brother Jiang Feng has passed the Master's assessment." Shi Shan frowned.
Yan Tie snorted coldly and said, "I'm in charge of the entrance examination this time. Mo Qing didn't report it to me. He has missed the day of the sect's examination. Therefore, according to the rules of the Teal Feather Sect, he is not a disciple of the sect. If he wants to enter the sect, wait for the next test or break through the Violet Manor before coming back."
Shi Shan's face did not look very good. He could tell that Yan Tie was seeking revenge for his personal gains.
Yan Tie and Mo Qing could be said to be the two strongest elders of the Qingyu Sect. They fought both openly and secretly. In order to compete for the position of First Elder, they had become incompatible like fire and water. This time, they actually took the opportunity to avenge themselves in the name of hosting the assessment.
Stone Mountain had no choice but to inform his master.
"Yan Tie, Jiang Feng has already passed my assessment and is already my disciple." Just as Sword Merciless and the others were about to make their move, a calm voice suddenly rang out.
Mo Qing was striding over.
"Master." Shi Shan and Jiang Feng bowed at the same time.
Mo Qing nodded with a smile. Yan Tie looked at him coldly, and his expression was even colder than before. "He passed your test, but he didn't pass my test. I'm fully responsible for the Sect's recruitment of disciples this year. I've already set a rule. Anyone who passes the preliminary test has to enter the Death Forest for a month to gain battle achievements. Only those who rank in the top 300 can become a disciple of the Qingyu Sect."
"Therefore, you won't be recognized unless you think you don't need to pass the sect's approval."
Mo Qing frowned. In fact, the elder had the right to recruit him. He only needed to report it to the sect and get the sect's approval. The sect's approval was just a formality. Therefore, as long as the elder was willing, he could accept him as a disciple.
However, this year's examination was managed by Yan Tie. In other words, if the other elders wanted to take in disciples, they would need to obtain Yan Tie's approval. Yan Tie, on the other hand, would actually seek personal revenge and try every means to stop them.
If he insisted on bringing Jiang Feng into the Teal Feather Sect, Yan Tie would definitely accuse him of disregarding the sect's laws.
However, if he missed this chance, Jiang Feng would have to wait for the next round of the examination. This meant that he would have to wait another year, unless he could break through to the Zifu Disciple Realm before the next round.
"Of course, the Green Feather Sect will not deliberately target anyone. My Yan Tie is not someone who will seek personal revenge. It is very simple to enter the sect. You can just pass the test." Yan Tie laughed softly. However, that smile was extremely cold.
"What kind of assessment?" Jiang Feng asked.
Yan Tie said coldly, "Everyone is treated equally. If you enter the Death Forest to train and obtain battle achievements, you will be able to enter the Teal Feather Sect as long as you rank in the top 300."
"How long before the trial is over?" Jiang Feng continued asking.
"Three days," Yan Tie replied coldly.
Jiang Feng frowned.
"If you want to give up, then go back to where you came from." Jian Wushuang looked at Jiang Feng coldly.
"Alright, I accept the test." Jiang Feng nodded.
He knew that if he didn't pass Yan Tie's test, he wouldn't be able to enter the Teal Feather Sect. He didn't want to make things difficult for Mo Qing, so he simply agreed to the test.
Moreover, he didn't want anyone to say that he didn't pass the sect's examination but was protected by Mo Qing before entering the sect.
"Jiang Feng, be careful. Someone wants to deal with you." Mo Qing didn't say much when he saw that Jiang Feng had agreed. He trusted Jiang Feng's strength, but he still spoke up to remind him.
Do you want to deal with me?
Jiang Feng was a bit puzzled. On the surface, it was a grudge between Yan Tie and Mo Qing. He was just a little bit of a fight between the two of them. Why did he have to deal with him?
"Since you can come to the Qingyu Sect, you must have already killed the man from the Che family. And Yan Tie is Che Shaoyang's master." Mo Qing whispered.
"The sword is heartless and has a good relationship with Che Shaoyang." Shi Shan also spoke. Although he didn't know what kind of grudge there was between Jiang Feng and Che Shaoyang, the sword was ruthless and had a good relationship with Che Shaoyang. To be exact, it had always been working for Che Shaoyang.
Jiang Feng suddenly understood. He'd thought that Yan Tie had been making things difficult for him because of Mo Qing. It turned out that even without Mo Qing, he'd still be able to deal with him. No wonder Yan Tie would have someone guard this place. No wonder the ruthless sword would emit hostility.
It turned out that Che Shaoyang had already known that his brother had been killed and wanted revenge.
He was not afraid at all, but he didn't expect that as soon as he arrived at the Teal Feather Sect, Che Shaoyang had prepared a big net for him to swallow him up.
Jiang Feng asked, "Honored master, how is the efficiency of this trial?"
Mo Qing replied, "Don't worry about that. The Azure Feather Sect and the Flame Sect will join forces in this trial by fire. The two sects will send experts to watch over the trial. However, it's easy to hide in the open. The most important thing is that you only have three days."
Jiang Feng smiled faintly. Time was not the most important thing, as long as there was fairness.
He had experienced the battle with Che Shaodong. No matter how incredible a genius was, he would only be valued when he was alive. Once he died, he would be of no value.
If there were no other experts in this trial test, Che Shaoyang would probably kill him openly. At that time, even Mo Qing wouldn't be able to say anything.
As for other things, if he wanted to take revenge, he could do it.
What's more, Jiang Feng didn't have a choice. If he didn't take the test, he wouldn't be a member of the Teal Feather Sect. Without the protection of the Teal Feather Sect, the Che family would probably come to kill him more brazenly.
"Master, don't worry. I will definitely enter the Azure Feather Sect openly," Jiang Feng said with a smile.
Jiang Feng's smile was still brimming with confidence, causing Mo Qing's worried heart to relax quite a bit. He smiled, "Since you've made such a decision, you must know what's going on. I trust you. I'll prepare a greeting gift for you after entering the Qingyu Gate."
"Thank you, Master."
Jiang Feng hurriedly expressed his thanks, then looked at the wooden coffin on his shoulder and said, "Honored master, this..."
Mo Qing understood and said with a smile, "Don't worry, leave it to me."
"Thank you very much, Master." Jiang Feng thanked him once again. He only knew Mo Qing and trusted him. Therefore, he was able to hand the coffin over to Mo Qing.
"Shi Shan, take Jiang Feng to the forest of death," Mo Qing said.
"Yes, Master."
Stone Mountain brought Jiang Feng to the forest of death. On the way, he introduced the forest of death to Jiang Feng.
The Death Forest was more vast and horrible than the dark forest of the Qin Kingdom. Even the disciples of the Teal Feather Sect and the Yan Sect did not dare to go too deep.
In the depths, there were countless Rank Two Demonic Beasts and even powerful Rank Three Demonic Beasts.
A rank three demonic beast was already comparable to a human Natal Opening Realm expert. Even the sect masters of the two sects did not dare to provoke it.
"Junior brother, the Death Forest is right in front of us. Now that it has been sealed by the two sects, I can only send you here. You have to be careful." The stone mountain stopped outside the Death Forest.
"I will," Jiang Feng replied. After Shi Shan talked to someone else, he handed Jiang Feng a storage ring and then entered the forest of death.
Seeing Jiang Feng enter the forest of death, Shi Shan went straight back to the sect and found Mo Qing. He asked, "Honored master, since you value your junior brother so much and know that Yan Tie and the others want to deal with him, why do you still agree to let your junior brother enter the forest of death?"
From the moment Mo Qing told him to wait for Jiang Feng, Shi Shan knew that his master valued his junior brother very much. Since that was the case, why did he want Jiang Feng to take the risk? He believed that as long as his master was willing, he would naturally have a way to bring his junior brother into the Azure Feather Sect.
He couldn't figure it out.
Mo Qing smiled lightly and said, "There can't be a strong person in the greenhouse. As a teacher, he can only guide the way, but can't go beyond his limits. There are some things that need to be done by himself. Today, if I block Yan Tie for him, how can he grow up?"
When Shi Shan heard this, he nodded his head thoughtfully.
"The reason why I've accepted him as my disciple isn't only because of his potential, but also because of his personality. This kid's mind is quite resolute, therefore, I'm looking forward to his performance." Mo Qing's smile was strong as he was full of confidence in Jiang Feng.
Shi Shan nodded. He could only wish his junior brother good luck.
On the other side, Jiang Feng had long since entered the forest of death. There were actually martial practitioners guarding within ten li of him.
According to the rules of the test, it was a safe area within five kilometers of the forest. No one was allowed to move. Otherwise, it would be regarded as a forfeit. Therefore, once anyone was found to be within five kilometers of the periphery, he would immediately be disqualified from the trial test, which meant that the test would fail.
Of course, there were no powerful demonic beasts on the periphery, so the Trial Testers would not be stupid enough to quit.
After all, if one wanted to enter the sect, one needed to obtain sufficient battle achievements. The top 300 would naturally be obtained by hunting Demonic Beasts. Therefore, all Trial Testers would hunt Demonic Beasts in the depths of the sect.
"If I had known earlier, I would have promised Qingxuan and the rest to leave behind the beast cores."
Jiang Feng shook his head with a smile. That was sixty battle achievements, it should be enough to enter the top three hundred.
Of course, Jiang Feng had only spoken casually and hadn't paid much attention to it at all.
"No wonder they went to the forest of darkness to train. The forest of death has long since been sealed to be used as a test." Jiang Feng muttered softly to himself as he walked into the depths of the forest.
As he went deeper, Jiang Feng didn't discover many demonic beasts. He had a feeling that someone was keeping an eye on him.
However, he was not surprised. Yan Tie was making things difficult for him. He must have been prepared to let him enter the forest of death. He wanted to see how powerful Che Shaoyang's first move was.
If he couldn't take it, how could he take revenge and become a strong man?
