The speed of time depends on the environment and the state of mind. For Lin Man'er, this night passed in the blink of an eye. However, the night was too long for Fenglan.

On the eve of dawn, it is a time when darkness alternates with light. Perhaps, you are about to usher in the light, but a moment of negligence will cause you to fall into darkness.

Life is extremely fragile, especially on the path of spiritual practice.

Demon beasts have the instinct of a beast, that is, a thirst for killing. They are very patient when it comes to catching their prey. Because, instinct tells them, failure means hunger, hunger means lack of physical strength, and lack of physical strength is almost equivalent to death.

Of course, the monsters may not starve to death, but they have received an order - to kill all the Terran monks. This is not an easy task, and you have to be patient enough to complete the task alive.

The monks who took part in the examination, who held out all night, were killed by a blow on the eve of dawn. Even, the number of deaths at this moment is much higher than the total number of deaths in an entire night.

Lin Man'er stopped cultivating, and the moment he opened his eyes, the red plum blossoms slowly fell, like a rain of flowers. He reached out and took the next slice, only to find blood on the petals.

Suddenly, he seemed to smell a smell that he didn't know how to describe. All he knew was that the smell was mixed with the scent of plum blossoms, the fishy smell of blood, and the stench of rotten flesh, and the smell was disgusting.

Lin Man'er panicked, and kept brushing away this nasty plum blossom with both hands. Eventually, he spotted a figure, but he wasn't sure if it was Fenglan. Because he clearly remembered that yesterday's Fenglan was wearing a cyan short-sleeved shirt and holding an elegant violet in his hand.

However, at this moment, what he saw was no longer the graceful Feng Lan in a green shirt, but a butcher covered in blood. The elegant violet looks particularly enchanting at this moment.

There was no expression on Fenglan's face, or he couldn't see any expression anymore. Her cyan eyes were flushed with blood.

Lin Man'er glanced around again, and the flowers were stacked to cover up the unimaginable tragic scene.

However, Lin Man'er began to ask herself: "Why can't I watch it?" What can't I see? I should have seen it. ”

The plum blossoms all over the ground rose with the wind, slowly revealing the scene that happened last night.

Corpses, all corpses, both human and demonic. Lin Man'er blamed himself in his heart, he didn't understand why Fenglan didn't wake him up, why he had to face it alone.

He walked slowly towards Fenglan and stretched out his hand, wanting to take the violet that was not elegant. Suddenly, Feng Lan subconsciously swung his sword. She was numb, but whenever she came close to her, she would draw her sword.

Lin Man'er didn't react, or he didn't think that Fenglan would attack him at all. Fortunately, he didn't react, but the mourning sword did. Perhaps it was the blood that inspired its killing intent, and it spontaneously sent out its sword to block the violet, and it was intact.

Lin Man'er looked at Fenglan with a sluggish expression, and stretched out her sleeves to wipe the blood on her face for her. Fenglan subconsciously dodged for a while, and found that it was Lin Man'er, and his eyes suddenly moistened.

She threw the violet, hugged Lin Man'er and cried. Although she is three years older than Lin Man'er, she is only an eighteen-year-old girl after all!

At that moment, Lin Man'er seemed to understand something. He stretched out his arms and hugged Fenglan tightly.

At that moment, the falling plum blossoms were mixed with a touch of white, which looked particularly pure in the blood-colored battlefield.

At that moment, Lin Man'er caught a smear of white among the thousands of crimson, and secretly swore in her heart that she would live up to her in this life.

In the Yingsong Hall of the Meizhou Branch, Dean Dongfang Qingtang looked at the direction of the Meishan Mountain Range and let out a sigh.

Among the three vice presidents, Dan Xiu Lusha transmitted the voice to Dongfang Qingtang. "Dean, is it a bit inappropriate to let these children face this too early?"

"Alas! I don't know about these, it's just that the demon clan has repeatedly invaded, and the Qinglong Palace is afraid that it can't support it. I heard that in the current Qinglong Palace, there are even disciples of the fairy realm who invite Ying to fight. And the disciples of our Meizhou Branch, not to mention taking the initiative to ask for help, even if the academy promises heavy profits, they still refuse to fight. ”

"A comfortable life will eventually make people forget their sorrows. Cowardice is not only the disciples of our branch, but the entire royal family, and even the entire Shenzhou Continent. Zhu Feng, the vice president of sword cultivation, said.

"That's why I pinned my hopes on this class of disciples. Bloodiness is not taught, but killed. After Dongfang Qingtang finished speaking, he slowly closed his eyes. However, she did not enter the meditation practice, but urged the divine consciousness to deter the demon kings who were hiding in the depths of the Meishan Mountain Range and were about to move.

At the foot of Quhua Mountain, Elder Ji sat on the stage, and the attentive disciple served him a cup of tea. Elder Ji glanced at him and nodded slightly in appreciation. When the other disciples saw this, they became jealous one by one.

Interestingly, after the tea-serving disciple stepped down from the stage, they tried their best to show enthusiasm, praising him for his eyesight, delicate mind, and so on.

After a while, the disciple who was in charge of counting the plum blossom recruitment order came to the stage to report.

"Elder Qi Ji, the disciples have been counted. So far, one hundred and three plum blossom recruitment orders have been damaged. ”

When Elder Ji heard this, he picked up the teacup and smashed it. He got up and looked at the recruiting envoys on the side, and said with a cold expression: "Is this the genius you recruited?" In one day, almost half of them died in just one day. Excuse me, is this genius? Answer me. ”

Except for Xiao Yingyu, all the recruiters lowered their heads. Although they have been promoted to elders, the elders are also high and low! If the disciples recruited this time perform well, they may be able to be promoted from the outer sect to the inner sect elder. As for Xiao Yingyu, that's different, she has a background and is not afraid of Elder Ji.

Elder Ji looked at Xiao Yingyu, who looked indifferent, and snorted coldly, "What? Does Elder Xiao have something to say? ”

Xiao Yingyu looked at the disciple in charge of statistics and asked, "How many people died in Yanlin County?" ”

That disciple didn't pay attention to anything else because he was eager to take credit. He turned his head to look at the other female disciple who was in charge of statistics. The female disciple seemed to be a little dissatisfied with him and pretended not to see it.

Elder Ji thought that the disciple was afraid of Xiao Yingyu, so he didn't answer in time. Reprimanded at the moment: "What are you grinding around? Not from the truth. ”

The disciple cast a begging look at the female disciple in the audience. The female disciple stretched out three fingers. However, there are some things that he is afraid of being wrong!

When Elder Ji heard the figure of thirty, he slowly turned around and looked at Xiao Yingyu with an inquiring expression. Xiao Yingyu's face at the moment was not to mention how angry she was, only to hear a sword roar, and the green jade sword flew out and stabbed at the disciple who was in charge of statistics.

Elder Ji only snorted and did not stop him. Xiao Yingyu naturally didn't kill anyone, she just vented. At that moment, he stared at the disciple and asked, "I have recruited a total of seventeen people, how did you tell the extra thirteen people?" ”

When that disciple heard this, he didn't want to be desperate in his heart. He believed that as long as it was a normal person, he would think that those three fingers represented thirty people, not three.

Imagine that a total of one hundred and three plum recruitment orders were destroyed, and it can be proved that about one hundred or so monks died.

Of course, he has other information to back it up. First, Yanlin County ranks low among the eight counties in Meizhou; Second, he is also a native of Yanlin County. The cultivation environment in Yanlin County is not very good. This is because a high-quality cultivation environment is basically the absence of mortals.

Elder Ji was not stupid, he could tell from the expression of that disciple that the information was wrong. He hooked his hand at the female disciple in charge of statistics in the audience and motioned for her to report closely.

The female disciple trembled and walked up to the stage, afraid that she would be implicated. Seeing her like this, Elder Ji felt that it was undignified, and said, "You are also a human fairyland, what kind of body are you trembling now?" ”

When the female disciple heard this, she trembled even more. She is indeed a fairyland, in the eyes of others, it is a fairy! However, in Elder Ji's eyes, she was like a little flying insect that could be pinched to death at any time, so how could she not be afraid!

Xiao Yingyu jumped to her side and comforted: "Don't be nervous, I just want to ask you, how many monks have died in Yanlin County who participated in the assessment so far?" ”

The female disciple looked at her and whispered, "Three." ”

After hearing this, Xiao Yingyu looked at Elder Ji and said, "I went to Yanlin County to recruit this time, and I found that there were many mixed cities there. I thought I wouldn't be able to recruit any good seedlings, but I met two when I was in Sioux City. One was an eighteen-year-old half-immortal, and the other was a fifteen-year-old Fa Linggen. As for the others, they can also survive half a move under my green jade sword. ”

After hearing this, Elder Ji was displeased. He deliberately sent Xiao Yingyu to Yanlin County, the purpose was to make it difficult for her, but he didn't expect to be found by her two good seedlings. However, the scene still has to be said.

"Very good, if other recruiters can also fulfill their duties like Elder Xiao, why don't my Meizhou branch prosper."

When the other recruiters heard this, they also began to tell how talented and amazing the disciples they had recruited.

Elder Ji listened irritably, and pressed his hand to silence them. Embarrassingly, one of the recruiters may not have noticed Elder Ji's gesture and continued to speak excitedly. Ren Feiyang saw Elder Ji's gloomy face, and hurriedly glanced at the man.

However, the recruiting envoy walked up to Ren Feiyang and said with a smile: "The one I recruited has something to do with you, and he is also a Fa Linggen. ”

As soon as these words came out, Elder Ji's face suddenly turned from cloudy to clear.
