Chapter 168 Cave Age

Even once Long Chen had disappeared into his cave, many people continued to closely watch .

But that cave was so quiet that it was frightening . Not the slightest sound came out, causing people to look at each other in dismay .

“It couldn’t be that he died just like that without making a sound, right?” People wondered what was going on, as it had already been a while without any noise .

When other people entered their caves, it was never more than just a couple breaths before intense explosions would begin to ring out .

“There’s no way! Even if he died, he should have at least let out a scream . ”

Tu Fang looked at that cave helplessly . He could have stopped such a thing from happening, but he had decided to keep his mouth shut when he remembered what the sect leader had told him before entering seclusion .

“If I remember correctly, it’s been many years since anyone has ever come out of that cave! And it also seems that cave is the deepest of all the caves…” Tu Fang sighed sorrowfully inside .

What puzzled everyone was that no activity came from Long Chen even after all this time . That had no idea that Long Chen had already begun to fight with Gui Sha at this time . It was only that the cave was too deep, and this specific rock m.u.f.fled most of the sound .

“There’s someone coming out!”

Someone noticed that the sound coming from one of the other caves had faded away and a figure was slowly walking out .

“It’s Tang Wan-er!” Her hair had already scattered and there were bloodstains on various parts of her body, appearing quite dest.i.tute .

Her entire face was now incredibly pale, but a trace of resolve had now appeared in her eyes that had not been present before . With the head in her hand, she walked out .

“Yes!” Tang Wan-er’s people all let out cheers . There were even some women crying tears of joy . Qing Yu’s hands cupped her face; she was already sobbing noiselessly .

An extremely rare smile appeared on Tu Fang’s solemn face . That was the birth of a core disciple .

Tang Wan-er flew off the cliff and there was immediately someone who handed her her medal . There was no need for her to personally go over to them; that was the treatment core disciples had earned .

Rubbing that medal, Tang Wan-er was filled with pride . By relying on her willpower, she had finally taken that step . From this moment on, her heart had completely transformed .

For that, she would have to thank that scoundrel’s reminder . Tang Wan-er smiled and looked over everyone, searching for that familiar figure . But she couldn’t find him .

“Where is Long Chen?” asked Tang Wan-er .

Her faction became silent . It was Qing Yu who finally said, “He’s in the trial . ”

“Which trial did he choose?” For some reason, Tang Wan-er had a bad feeling .

“ . . . The core disciple trial,” sighed Qing Yu .

“That fool!” If it was even possible, Tang Wan-er’s face grew even more pale . She had just pa.s.sed the core disciple trial and knew from her experience just how powerful that devil corpse inside was .

Tang Wan-er had brushed against death several times in their battle . She had used her full force, almost using up all her energy by the end . In fact, it was only because of her willpower that she had managed to endure long enough to cut off her opponent’s head .

She was the number one genius of her powerful family . She had many life-preserving techniques, but she had practically used them all up . Only then had she managed to eke out a slight victory . For Long Chen to attempt the same, the chances of him pa.s.sing were too uncertain .

Tang Wan-er was so angry that she stamped her foot and bit her lip . “Why does that scoundrel never listen!”

Qing Yu gently pulled the aggrieved Tang Wan-er into a hug, consoling, “Don’t worry, Long Chen isn’t crazy . He’ll return alive . ”

“Tch, him?! Probably not even his bones remain anymore, so stop waiting-”

An inner disciple from Qi Xin’s faction icily ridiculed Long Chen, but before he had even finished speaking, a figure had appeared before him and a wind blade was placed right against his throat, cutting him off .

“Do you want to say that again?”

Tang Wan-er angrily glared at that person, killing intent soaring from her eyes . Because wind blades could not controlled as perfectly as water blades due to the wind energy constantly needing to be in movement, her wind blade had already made several cuts against that person’s throat, causing blood to flow down .

That person turned pale from fright . The current Tang Wan-er was like a beautiful death G.o.d, about to announce his final judgement at any moment .

“Wan-er!” Qing Yu was given a fright and quickly pulled her back . She couldn’t possibly kill someone here, or the consequences would be far too dire .

“b.a.s.t.a.r.d, you better pray that Long Chen’s fine, or if anything happens to him, I’ll cut your corpse into a thousand pieces!” Tang Wan-er icily shouted as she pushed away that completely terrified fellow .

That person fell flat on his b.u.t.t, scared stupid . His companions quickly helped him up and brought him further away to recuperate .

Tang Wan-er took a deep breath, suppressing her anger . Looking at the cave Long Chen had chosen, she prayed, Long Chen, you better return!

After another quarter hour went by, Lei Qianshang and Yue Zifeng also came out . They were covered in wounds, but they had also pa.s.sed .

Following them was Ye Zhiqiu . Her white robes had been dyed almost completely red, but her expression was as icy as ever . Only her eyes revealed a difficult to conceal exhaustion .
