In the Hao Tian Sect, the competition between the three teams was drawing closer. Every time this moment came, the atmosphere within the Hao Tian Sect would become tense. The disciples of several teams were busy with trials, not leaving the Mirror Trials.
Three days before the competition, Lin Changsheng returned to the Hao Tian Sect, and Li Yan personally led people to welcome him.
"How is the preparation for the competition?" Lin Changsheng got straight to the point. Although he could not participate in the competition now, he must secure the first place, which was the main source of his honor points.
"Rest assured, Senior Brother. Just like every time, the first place is definitely secure." Li Yan paused and continued, "The batch from three years ago, I personally led the team, along with Xiao Ya and Du Hao. Apart from Yu Ruoxi of the Flame Alliance, the rest are no match."
Lin Changsheng nodded and glanced at Zhao Yu, "You should participate this year. With your current strength, dealing with some second-year disciples should be no problem. Consider it as cultivation."
"Yes, Senior Brother!" The Changsheng Hall valued Zhao Yu, but Chen Dong and the others were directly ignored.
"What about the other new disciples this year?"
"They haven't returned yet. These new disciples are all from the outer circle. They left the Hao Tian Sect, thinking they could survive. How naive." Li Yan sneered, but Zhao Yu remained silent. He definitely didn't believe Chu Yan was dead, but he had made significant progress in the past month. Now at the second level of Dustless, combined with the Iron Dragon Spear, he could fight against those at the fifth level of Dustless. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that with him alone, he could easily wipe out the new disciple camp.
Even Scarface was only at the fourth level of Dustless.
The many disciples continued to prepare for the competition between the three teams. The Mirror Trials became a major hotspot. For the remaining three days, the Hao Tian Sect was almost empty, with almost everyone entering the Mirror Trials to cultivate intensively.
Because once you died, you couldn't enter the Mirror Trials for half a day, so there were fewer internal conflicts during these three days. Everyone was busy hunting mirror beasts and searching for heavenly treasures in the Mirror Trials.
Until the night of the second day, this peace was finally broken. A tragic scream echoed from the Mirror Trials.
"Ah!" The scream was very tragic, and it was from a new disciple. When the other new disciples rushed over, they saw that the person was covered in bloody wounds, with his wrists and ankles all severed. However, it seemed as if the attacker deliberately left him alive, causing him immense pain.
"Who did this?" Scarface roared with a hint of anger.
"I don't know... The person was wearing a mask and attacked me directly. He also said something to us new disciples... He told me to tell everyone." The disciple was convulsing, and the feeling was worse than death.
"What did he say?" Scarface frowned. At this critical moment, even the Changsheng Hall didn't want to cause trouble. This was an unwritten rule of the Hao Tian Sect.
"The debt must be repaid!" The disciple painfully got up and said to a nearby new disciple, "Kill me!"
The disciple gritted his teeth and killed him, finally ending his immense suffering.
However, the new disciples didn't know that this was just the beginning. Over the next day, a masked figure was seen running wildly in the Mirror Trials. His speed was incredibly fast, and he seemed to have a yuan qi wing, making it hard to catch him. Whenever a new disciple encountered him, they were immediately killed, even those at the third level of Dustless.
This thoroughly enraged Scarface, and the new disciple camp began to hunt this masked person with all their might.
Unfortunately, the masked person seemed to vanish into thin air. No matter how hard Scarface searched, he couldn't find him.
Outside the Mirror Trials, Chu Yan suddenly opened his eyes. He and the other new disciples had returned, but they didn't make a fuss. The person who had been slaughtering the new disciple camp in the Mirror Trials was none other than him.
He had to repay those blood debts. He still remembered the moment when Mu Ye was pinned down by several long spears to let him escape.
The new disciple camp suffered a significant blow that day, and the news spread throughout the Hao Tian Sect, but no one knew who was responsible.
"Have you heard? Today in the Mirror Trials, someone was brutally slaughtering the new disciple camp. We don't know who it is."
"Within the sect, only the Changsheng Hall and the Flame Alliance have that kind of strength. They probably want to weaken the new disciple camp."
"But that doesn't make sense. In the past, the Changsheng Hall and the Flame Alliance never cared about the new disciple camp. Scarface is only at the fourth level of Dustless, and that new disciple Zhao Yu can easily kill them. Why would they need to weaken them?" The disciples continued to discuss, but no conclusion was reached.
The next day, the second day before the competition, the Mirror Trials were still in chaos.
However, someone finally saw the true face of the masked person. The mask was a wolf's head, a bloodthirsty wolf. Unfortunately, the person who saw the wolf's head mask was killed again, directly pierced through the throat by the masked person.
In a ruined area of the Mirror Trials, Chen Yi of the new disciple camp was there. He was the second strongest in the new disciple camp, only behind Scarface, and a strong competitor in this competition. The third position in the new disciple camp depended on him.
Beside Chen Yi were several new disciples, who were hunting a mirror beast together.
"Damn it, this beast is so strong!" The disciples couldn't help but curse. Chen Yi's face was serious. The wolf in front of him seemed not to be a mirror beast but very real, agile, and powerful, even he found it hard to deal with.
"Ao!" The wolf roared again, spitting out a yuan qi beam from its mouth. Chen Yi's face darkened. He finally realized that he was no match for this wolf. He immediately said, "Run! Abandon this wolf!"
Chen Yi and the others turned to leave, but suddenly, a figure blocked their way. The figure wore a black robe, a wolf's head mask, and held a three-foot-long sword.
"Wolf's head mask?" Chen Yi's eyes turned cold. They all knew about the recent attacks on the new disciple camp.
"Who are you?"
"Someone seeking revenge." Chu Yan didn't waste words. He lunged forward, his body instantly becoming ethereal, closing in on Chen Yi.
"First level of Dustless?" Chen Yi showed a hint of disdain. The new disciples were weak, so it wasn't surprising they were killed. But he had enough confidence in himself. First level of Dustless was no match for him.
"Kill!" Chen Yi roared, and the new disciples with him immediately moved to attack Chu Yan.
However, Chu Yan's speed was extremely fast. Three beams of light flashed under his feet, and each time they flashed, Chu Yan seemed to teleport a distance, like a phantom. His long sword swirled, and a gust of wind seemed to howl, instantly taking the life of a new disciple.
"Ah!" A tragic scream immediately echoed, and another new disciple was killed. At this moment, only Chen Yi and the wolf remained.
Chen Yi stared at Chu Yan, "Who are you? Which team? Are you trying to break the rules?"
"You don't deserve to know." Chu Yan didn't speak, and the wolf behind Chen Yi also roared, "Ao!"
"This wolf is very strange, with the strength of the fifth level of Dustless. If you kill me now, you will also suffer. When the time comes, this wolf won't spare you either." Chen Yi turned to look at the wolf.
Unfortunately, Chu Yan paid no attention to Chen Yi's words. A yuan qi roar came from his throat, and he said, "Kill!"
"Damn it!" Chen Yi was furious, and his long spear immediately stabbed out. Unfortunately, Chu Yan was just a shadow, disappearing into thin air. Chen Yi didn't hit him, and the next moment, Chen Yi's eyes widened as the wolf pounced on him.
"Crack!" Chen Yi's arm was instantly bitten off, and he let out a painful howl. The wolf's bloody mouth descended again, ready to swallow his head.
At this moment, Chen Yi wanted to give up. He stared at Chu Yan, "Kid, don't be so smug. If I die, this wolf won't spare you either! You will die too, and I'll wait for you outside the Mirror Trials!"
However, Chu Yan sneered and suddenly shouted to the wolf, "Little Wolf, don't kill him, make him suffer!"
Chen Yi's eyes widened as he realized the wolf was following Chu Yan's orders. How was that possible? Mirror beasts couldn't serve humans. However, Chen Yi didn't know that this wolf wasn't a mirror beast but a real one, Chu Yan's disciple, Little Wolf.
The wolf bit into Chen Yi, leaving countless bloody wounds, but it didn't stop. Little Wolf howled, "Ao!"
In the Mirror Trials, countless beasts ran wildly. These beasts were all under Little Wolf's control, trampling and torturing Chen Yi, but not letting him die.
"How is this possible! How is this possible!" Chen Yi roared in pain. The mirror beasts were created from a drop of beast blood, and these bloodlines were inferior to Little Wolf's.
Chen Yi went mad. This was the most brutal experience he had ever had in the Mirror Trials.
When Scarface arrived, Chen Yi was dead, his body torn to pieces.
Scarface stared at Chu Yan, the figure seemed familiar, but he couldn't put his finger on it, "Who are you, and why are you targeting my new disciples?"
"Blood debt, blood repayment!" Chu Yan said coldly, his voice filled with a chill, and he moved, charging at Scarface.
"Looking for death!" Scarface's eyes turned cold. The new disciple camp had been slaughtered countless times over the past two days, thoroughly enraging him. He had been unable to catch the culprit, but now that he had, he was determined to kill Chu Yan.
"First level of Dustless, trash!" Scarface's long spear stabbed out, and a roar echoed in the air. However, Chu Yan caught the spear with his bare hands, meeting Scarface's attack head-on.
At this moment, apart from the new disciples, the disciples of the Flame Alliance and the Changsheng Hall were also attracted. Over the past two days, the masked person had caused a huge stir, but no one knew who he was.
Chu Yan's speed was extremely fast, and he twisted with Scarface. His movements were so fluid that many people were captivated.
"Too fast..." Li Yan swallowed, "This movement isn't from our Hao Tian Sect. Could he be from another sect?"
