Chapter 73

"Legacy Grand Test" had drained too much energy, and for several days, they had been on the brink of life and death. Not only Bu Li, but everyone who managed to survive and walk out of the Divine Legacy Mountain Range lay weakly on the grass, savoring the moment of tranquility.

After a while, Bu Li noticed that Zhan Xiong Wanli had just recovered from his injuries and was still very weak due to excessive blood loss. He gathered some dry branches and started a bonfire. In the jungle, it was the world of the pattern hunters. In the time it took to smoke a cigarette, Bu Li had already returned with a full load of prey, and even Dahei was laden with various sizes of game.

The other three were amazed. If it were daytime or just after dusk, Bu Li's archery skills might not be surprising. But now, all the wild beasts were asleep, and Bu Li could still return with so much prey in such a short time. No one knew how he managed to do it.

Li Shaowei helped to prepare the prey. Soon, various meats were roasting over the bonfire. The fat dripped, and the fire flickered, sometimes blazing brightly, sizzling and emitting the aroma of roasted meat.

Bu Li usually didn't care much about food, often forgetting to add even the necessary salt. Dahei had complained many times, but Bu Li still often forgot. Li Shaowei, however, was a food lover. As soon as a wild antelope's thigh was placed on the fire, Li Shaowei took out a row of seasoning bottles, large and small, looking very professional.

Li Shaowei, who was even more robust than Zhan Xiong Wanli, was as patient, meticulous, and focused as a housewife when preparing the roasted meat, which Bu Li found quite amusing. Food lovers were truly不分男女,不分老幼.

Dahei squatted on the side, already impatient. If not for Li Shaowei constantly checking the fire and occasionally sprinkling seasonings that even Bu Li didn't know, Dahei would have already feasted.

It didn't take long, but to Dahei, it felt like countless years had passed. His mouth was watering, the saliva hanging a foot long, glistening and swaying with the mountain breeze.

With turbid wine and roasted meat, the men laughed heartily. Under the moonlit sky, in front of the Broken Dragon Platform, the bloodshed had faded, leaving only a sense of grandeur.

The next day, the sky was bright, and the four young people supported each other as they walked out of the Divine Legacy Mountain Range. The crowd was in an uproar. Even the most experienced old legacy clans had never seen such a scene. After each "Legacy Grand Test," the winners were jubilant, while the losers either lay dead in the Divine Legacy Mountain Range, devoured by wild beasts, or were severely injured, barely alive. When had they ever seen a group of people supporting each other as they walked out?

Finally, the mirage shattered, and nothing could be seen. What had happened after that? Everyone looked curiously at the young people, speculating who had survived and walked out of the Divine Legacy Mountain Range.

Where had the people from the Mirage Mountain Sect gone? Which three people had won this "Legacy Grand Test"?

Bu Li supported Zhan Xiong Wanli, followed by Dahei, and Li Shaowei carried Wen Ci Yu Wang. They slowly walked out of the Divine Legacy Mountain Range. No matter which clan they belonged to, there were countless questions to ask, but they couldn't enter the Divine Legacy Mountain Range, so they surrounded the area, waiting.

A dense crowd surrounded them. At this moment, several people flew over from the sky, a small sedan chair driven by soul power, covered in green cloth, descending from the air.

Most of the legacy clans had never seen such a scene and stared in amazement. Some knowledgeable legacy clans recognized that these must be important figures from the Mirage Mountain Sect and knelt down involuntarily.

Luo Qingquan had been tormented for the past two days, enduring the "Legacy Grand Test" with great anxiety. Finally, he received the decree from the Heavenly Dao Sect. The decree came from the soul array, and Luo Qingquan felt a bit relieved. He was truly afraid of seeing Luo Sha come in person; if that happened... Luo Qingquan didn't dare to think further.

Trembling, he opened the decree and was pleasantly surprised to find that the Heavenly Dao Sect had glossed over all the issues that had arisen during this "Legacy Grand Test," instructing him not to publicize it. There was no winner in the "Legacy Grand Test," and he was to take the young man named Bu Li to the outer sect of the Mirage Mountain Sect for training in three days. He was not to make things difficult for him or give him any special treatment.

This was nothing. Luo Qingquan read the decree repeatedly, ensuring he hadn't missed any important instructions, and then felt reassured. He couldn't afford any more mistakes; this time, it was already a stroke of luck. If there were any more mistakes, and Luo Sha was provoked, his entire family would be doomed.

The light sedan chair landed, and Luo Qingquan calmly stepped out. In front of the Western Mountain legacy clans, the sect master of the Mirage Mountain Sect always had to maintain a certain demeanor. For so many years, he had been a god-like figure to the Western Mountain legacy clans. As he appeared before everyone, more and more clan leaders knelt down, paying their respects.

Luo Qingquan, who had always been subservient to the Heavenly Dao Sect, finally felt some comfort at this moment. This situation was complex, and Luo Qingquan had no mood to act like a god or bully the ragged Western Mountain legacy clans. He smiled and gently supported them, saying, "Please rise."

Looking at the chaotic crowd below, Luo Qingquan felt a wave of annoyance. But suddenly, he became alert. This time, he couldn't understand what the sect's intentions were. He had to tread carefully. The Western Mountain legacy clans might have produced a significant figure this time, and he couldn't afford to be negligent. Over the years, he had sold many legacy clans, and if this was discovered, it would be a major issue.

Clearing his mind, Luo Qingquan said loudly, "In this Legacy Grand Test, the Western Mountain legacy clans under the Mirage Mountain Sect performed very well. However, due to some issues with the mountain protection soul array, there is no winner this time."

The first part was fine, but the last part revealed the truth. No winner in this "Legacy Grand Test"? The crowd below immediately fell into chaos. This was why the sect master of the Mirage Mountain Sect, who was usually unseen, had personally come to the Divine Legacy Mountain Range to explain.

Some were gleeful, others angry. But the remaining young people belonged to small clans, and with Luo Qingquan personally present, the unacceptable result passed quietly.

Luo Qingquan looked down with satisfaction and said, "Of course, the Mirage Mountain Sect will have an explanation for this. All the legacy clans will be compensated, and we hope you perform well in the next test."

After a brief comfort, Luo Qingquan turned and seriously looked at the few people who had walked out of the Divine Legacy Mountain Range. That was Bu Li, the young man who had been watched by the young master and Mr. Yu. He was indeed strong, and there was something indescribable about him. Luo Qingquan had only seen Bu Li's silhouette in the mirage before, and this was the first time he truly saw him. Suddenly, he felt a headache.

How much trouble had this boy caused him? But he couldn't do anything to the boy. Although the sect's decree was light, Luo Qingquan, who had schemed for many years, could sense the thick undercurrents behind it. How much effort had the sect put into suppressing this matter? The mountain protection soul array just happened to fail? Impossible! It was said that the Grand Parade in Wufang City almost erupted, and the major gambling houses suffered heavy losses due to this incident.

Shaking his head, Luo Qingquan expelled these杂念 from his mind. Those matters of the big figures had nothing to do with him. As long as he did his job well, everything would be fine.

When the four people and the bear walked out of the Divine Legacy Mountain Range, Luo Qingquan waved to Bu Li. Bu Li was helpless, thinking that the matter Yu Ze mentioned would take a few more days, but unexpectedly, someone came as soon as they left the Divine Legacy Mountain Range. Bu Li didn't recognize who Luo Qingquan was, but from his demeanor, he seemed more important than the Mirage Mountain Sect elder on the Broken Dragon Platform.

Handing Zhan Xiong Wanli to his clan members, Cai Xiaoxian rushed over. Bu Li held Cai Xiaoxian in his arms, gently stroking her head and comforting her. Cai Xiaoxian had been worried and scared outside the Divine Legacy Mountain Range for two days, not closing her eyes. Especially after the mirage broke, not knowing what was happening inside, Cai Xiaoxian was almost driven mad, wanting to sneak in and enter the Divine Legacy Mountain Range.

If not for Hu Wu constantly restraining her, there might have been five people walking out of the Divine Legacy Mountain Range.

All her worries and grievances turned into tears, streaming down Cai Xiaoxian's eyes. The hot tears, like the gushing blood from the Divine Legacy Mountain Range, made Bu Li's chest surge with emotion.

"Be good," Bu Li comforted, but the more he comforted, the more Cai Xiaoxian cried. Bu Li had no choice. Yu Ze had told him not to be too arrogant and to be low-key. The person was calling him, so Bu Li thought for a moment and carried Cai Xiaoxian to Luo Qingquan.

Without kneeling like the clan leaders, Bu Li bowed respectfully and asked, "What does this nobleman need?"

"You are Bu Li, indeed a young talent," Luo Qingquan suppressed his annoyance, looking Bu Li up and down, and said, "You performed very well in the Divine Legacy Mountain Range, defeating strong enemies. I am eager for talent and will make an exception to take you as an outer sect disciple of the Mirage Mountain Sect. However, because it is an exception, your clan cannot leave the Western Mountains. What do you think?"

The words were extremely polite, and Luo Qingquan instantly found his place. Although the sect's decree said not to give him any special treatment, he could still place his bet on this young man, couldn't he? Such a great opportunity had appeared before him, how had he not noticed it before? He must have been knocked out of his senses.
