One day later Ji Yuan and his party had entered the white citadel.
The hallway of the white citadel was huge and imposing.
Ji Yuan could see thousands of cultivators along the numerous hallways and they seemed to be debating.
Several spirit entities had immediately surrounded them and said to them, "Please follow us!"
And soon they began to follow the spirit entities until they were in the middle of a golden hall.
Thousands of cultivators were seen meditating behind an invisible golden wall at the end of the golden hall.
The spirit entities explained, "These cultivators are taking their trials now. You may choose to take the trial at the convenient timing."
Ji Yuan asked curiously, "What trial are they taking?"
He had echoed the thoughts of the maidens as well.
The spirit entities replied, "The right to enter the Pangu Citadel naturally. Those who have completed the trial will be allowed inside. Those meditating right now are those that are attempting it and you can see their progress."
Ji Yuan rolled his eyes at the thousands of wandering cultivators all over the open space platforms, "Don't tell me that all these cultivators here are so nosy parkers and why aren't they taking the trial?"
The spirit entities chuckled, "Some may have already taken the trial and had failed. So they may be resting first before undertaking the trial again or they are exchanging tips with one another."
Ji Yuan: ???
"You can retake the trial?"
The spirit entities laughed, "You can retake it unlimited times until you've succeed."
Ji Yuan frowned, "I don't know if this is a good news or a bad news. It sounds too good to be true…"
Feng Minyue nodded, "Usually it will be very hard to complete if you are able to attempt so many times."
All of a sudden Ji Yuan sharp eyes spotted Mo Bei below the hall. "Senior Mo Bei is also here…"
Mo Bei had also spotted him and he was laughing loud below, "Maiden Feng, Maiden Yu. Hahaha…it is so good to see you in this place…"
And Mo Bei quickly lifted the edge of his robe as he shouted to the cultivators in the hallway, "Out of my way! Out of my way!"
At the same time he was shouting, "Wait there for me. I'm going! Give me like 15 minutes…this place is so freaking large and intertwining…"
Ji Yuan frowned immediately; Did he just leave me out of his greetings?!
All of a sudden Ji Yuan was frozen on the spot.
This included the rest of the maidens!
That was because a dark malevolent figure was suddenly seen in the same hall – the Death God Mingwang!
The Death God Mingwang hummed coldly to them, "I've told you that we will meet again very soon. Why, you're not pleased to see me?"
Ji Yuan grinned; on the contrary, I'm very pleased to see you again so soon, Yun Chi…
Then the Death God Mingwang pointed at Bai Qianfeng, "I've believed that I have already given you more than sufficient time to think. If you don't want Ji Yuan to die then comes with me and I will show him mercy…"
"I don't need you to show any mercy toward me." Ji Yuan interrupted weakly.
Bai Qianfeng thought that Ji Yuan was going to confront the Death God Mingwang immediately so she quickly caught hold of his arm, "My lord. You're not the Death God Mingwang's match. But don't worry, your Qianfeng will never consider going with your enemy. Even death will not part us. I'm already prepared to die together with you."
"Sister Qianfeng, we will follow you as well!" The other five maidens had all raised their divine swords and chorused at the same time.
Bai Qianfeng gasped as she turned to look at the other five maidens with a touched heart. "Everyone…"
"Even if the whole lot of you adds together, I will still be able to massacre all of you without revealing my desolate strength." The Death God Mingwang scorned coldly as a dark scythe was immediately brandished.
Ji Yuan quickly said, "Easy everyone."
Then he turned to look intently at the Death God Mingwang, "Do you agree that even if we want to fight, we should only fight once we are inside the inner citadel than here?"
"No, I don't agree." The Death God Mingwang hummed coldly. "Today, Bai Qianfeng has to come with me whether she is willing or not. As for you, it will depend on my mood if I want to kill you or not. Why don't you write down your last will then?"
Ji Yuan answered with a grin, "I am not going to write down any last will because I know that you won't be able to kill me today."
The Death God Mingwang: …
"You have better don't test my patience. Within 100 strokes, I will be able to floor all of you down and take away Bai Qianfeng…"
"I believe you." Ji Yuan interrupted with a soft sigh. "But can we have a private word in that corner for a while?"
Bai Qianfeng panicky said, "My lord, don't! If you're alone then we may not be able to render aid to you in a timely manner…"
Ling Feiyue and the other maidens were all panicky saying as well, "That's right. It is far too dangerous. Together we can all make a stand…"
Yu Jingjing added, "Senior Mo Bei is on his way up now. If we can endure the fight until he comes, maybe we can have a fighting chance. And there are hundreds of cultivators around too…"
All the maidens were trying to persuade Ji Yuan.
But Ji Yuan seemed to ignore them as he asked the Death God Mingwang, "Why? You dare not? Are you afraid that my words alone will be able to defeat you?"
The Death God Mingwang hummed coldly, "This is your chance to see your Bai Qianfeng and you want to talk to me? Hmph! So be it and make it quick."
Ji Yuan grinned as he walked to the corner and waited for the Death God Mingwang to walk over to him.
"Hmph! I'm here now. If you have any craps to say, just say it." The Death God Mingwang hummed coldly.
Ji Yuan sighed softly, "Actually, you don't have to agree to my request. Is it because you're hesitating to kill me?"
The Death God Mingwang: ???
Ji Yuan sighed, "Let me tell you a story first."
The Death God Mingwang: ???
Ji Yuan continued, "I have a maiden that love me and I love her as well. But I don't think I will be able to see her again. Do you know what her wish is? Her one and only wish?"
Ji Yuan laughed bitterly, "She makes me sworn an oath to love her even if we are enemies in the future. Why do you think she will do it? Because she is already my enemy from the day that we've met."
All of a sudden the Dearth God Mingwang was trembling lightly…
Ji Yuan had spoken out her innermost heart demons...
"But so what if she is the enemy? I've also made an oath in front of her to take her as my consort and to love her forever." Ji Yuan lamented loudly. "I've not forgotten about our promises but do you think she has forgotten about it?"
The Death God Mingwang answered with a trembling voice, "Why do you ask me for? Why don't you go ask her…"
"Because you are her. I have long known you are Yun Chi." Ji Yuan interrupted quietly.
The Death God Mingwang gasped as she took a step backward…
He knows who I am already?!
Ji Yuan continued, "Because I know that you're Yun Chi, I know that you won't lay your fingers on me. But why are you taking Qianfeng away from me? Qianfeng and I are inseparable, just like we are inseparable."
"Yun Chi, I love you. Come with me…"
But Yun Chi did not reply to him and instead she had marched off while saying to a nearby spirit entity, "I'm taking the entrance trial now. Prepare the portal for me."
As she entered the portal, she was secretly weeping!
Ji Yuan, you know who I am but you still love me?! Are you an idiot?!
Ji Yuan was left stunned on the spot as he muttered silently, "Yun Chi…"
But for the rest of the maidens, they were all equally surprised because the Death God Mingwang had actually walked away without a word!
They were immediately curious what Ji Yuan had said to the Death God Mingwang?
"Yo Junior Ji Yuan!" Mo Bei hastily shouted as he waved his hands when he had entered the great hall.
At the same time he was stroking his long beard as he drooled at Ling Feiyue, Little Princess, Shui Xisi, Bai Qianfeng, Yu Jingjing and Feng Minyue. "Hehee…"
Ji Yuan frowned, "Senior Mo Bei…"
