Ling Yuan walked into the path with the word "righteousness" written on it. After walking for a few hundred feet, he suddenly heard sounds of fighting coming from around the corner of the path. He let out a few angry roars, which sounded very familiar to him.

Hearing that, the voice belonged to Hei Yan!

Wasn't he outside the hall? When did you come in?

Ling Yuan could not help but increase his pace, and in a few leaps, he reached the corner.

In another passage, Hei Yan was fighting against two Gold-armoured Warriors. These two warriors were dressed in golden armor. One of them held a long sword, while the other held a half-moon blade.

Hei Yan struggled to dodge to the left and right, and for a moment, he basically did not have the chance to retaliate.

Ling Yuan didn't understand, so he didn't dare to join the battle. He just stood to the side, quietly watching and started to study the sword techniques of the two Golden-armoured Warriors.

When the two warriors saw that someone had arrived, they looked at each other, took a step back, and jumped out of the circle of battle.

The two of them clasped their hands at Ling Yuan, pointed at Hei Yan and asked: "Is this friend your follower?"

Ling Yuan thought for a moment, and knew that he could not hide it, he nodded and admitted: "That's right, this is my brother, he is injured and is not very clear-headed.

"Hmph — This person is playing the fool in my palace, and he just entered through a secret passage. If I don't punish him severely, wouldn't he be exposing himself to the world?" One of the older warriors coldly snorted.

"Your Excellency, please be at ease with this. My brother is delirious, so he would definitely not mention the secret passage to the precious place to others."

"Do you mean to say that if you are delirious, you will be delirious?" I have come to isolate myself from the world with the purpose of avoiding the world. Now that he knows of the secret passage, he cannot be left alive for a short period of time! You should retreat to the side and wait for the two of us to kill him before you speak! "

With that said, the two of them held their blades horizontally and rushed towards Hei Yan once again.

Hei Yan dodged hurriedly, hid behind the Ling Yuan and said timidly: "Big Brother, they hit me, I'm afraid!"

Ling Yuan's mind moved, he opened his arms to stop the two of them and smiled: "Generals, I'm here to look for the Warrior's Necklace, would you two generals be able to tell me where I am?"

"What if I don't say anything?" When the general saw that the Ling Yuan was protecting Hei Yan, he spoke unhappily.

"Hehe, it doesn't matter. However, with the strength of the two generals, I'm afraid that it will be very difficult to kill someone under my watch." After Ling Yuan finished speaking, he cast the two of them a glance filled with profoundness.

The two of them understood immediately. After whispering to each other, one of them said, "The Warrior's Necklace is on us, so it's not hard for you to get it. As long as you kill him, the necklace will naturally be given to you. But if you try to snatch it from us, us two brothers will not be so easy to deal with. Moreover, you still have a stage to break through, so wasting too much energy is not beneficial for you.

Ling Yuan did not expect the two to actually let him kill Hei Yan, and hesitated for a moment.

After a while, Ling Yuan's eyes suddenly revealed a sinister light, he turned and stared at Hei Yan, "Brother, right now you are even like a seven year old child, there is no point in living. I will send you to your death, I will find a way to release you!"

After saying that, he condensed all of the power in his body into a palm and struck Hei Yan's chest!

Hei Yan spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and flew for more than three meters before finally falling onto the ground, twitching a few times before stopping.

In any case, Hei Yan was no longer the three great reverends who had called the wind and commanded the rain.

The current Hei Yan, even if he went back, he wouldn't be able to continue sitting on the Guardian's seat. Right now, he had passed the examination and getting the map was most important.

On the other hand, Hei Yan lived his days in a state of insanity, and received contempt and jokes from others. It would be better for him to understand Hei Yan now, and let him quickly reincarnate and become a human again!

After he finished speaking, Ling Yuan channeled all of his power and struck his palm against Hei Yan's chest!

Hei Yan, who was standing in the shadows, was caught off guard. It was as if he did not expect Ling Yuan to strike him with his palm, and did not even manage to dodge it.

With a bang, Hei Yan's body was suddenly sent flying. He immediately spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and his entire body flew backwards for more than ten meters before falling to the ground, twitching a few times before stopping.

After Ling Yuan used his palm, he looked at Hei Yan, who had already turned into a corpse. His tightly furrowed brows slowly calmed down and the viciousness in his eyes had not completely disappeared. After staring at Hei Yan's corpse for a long while, he let out a long sigh.

After that, he retracted his gaze, and no longer looked at Hei Yan who was lying on the ground. He slowly turned around and looked at the two generals in gold armor. He walked forward and stopped about three steps away from the two of them. He cupped his hands and said in a calm tone: "Generals, I have killed the people who trespassed through the secret passage. I hope you two will keep your promise and give the warrior necklace to me."

Ling Yuan spoke with a respectful tone but in reality, his eyes were fixated on the two of them from the corner of his eyes.

The moment he discovered that these two people were betraying their word and did not keep their promise, he would immediately use the palm of his hand to cut the air and forcibly take the keys from them.

Of course, this trick was very dangerous. Only when there was no other way out would they forcefully fight against these two people.

As the saying goes, two fists is no match for four hands. It would be very difficult for him to win against two people by himself.

However, in order to obtain the Necklace of the Bravehearts, he had no choice but to take out the poison concocted with Worryfree Hall and use an underhanded method to kill the two of them.

Just as Ling Yuan was standing in front of the two generals with a cautious expression, one of the elder generals standing in front of him took the initiative to speak out. With a deep voice, he said, "This brother, since you have brought this person who broke into the forbidden grounds to justice, the two of us will abide by our promise and pass this necklace of brave to you."

As he spoke, he lifted his hand to feel around his chest.

After a series of rustling sounds, the soldier took out a golden necklace and handed it over to Ling Yuan.

"Thank you, generals!"

After seeing the necklace on the man's hand, Ling Yuan was overjoyed, the wariness in his heart had completely disappeared, he took the necklace from the man's hand and turned to leave.

Before leaving, he did not even spare a glance at Hei Yan's corpse who was lying on the side.

As if he hadn't seen Hei Yan's corpse, he didn't stop at all, walking past Hei Yan's body in that diameter, and quickly walking out of the passage.

Chu Yunge walked out from the passage, and successfully completed the second stage. She handed the locket to the elders who were sitting on the Grand Master's chair to the side.

All of the elders seated on the grandteacher's chair nodded their heads as they untied their necklaces, or they slowly tied the white whiskers around their chins.

In the middle of the Elders' seats, there was an extremely gorgeous armchair. The chair was carved with intricate carvings, and on the seat was a soft cushion decorated with the patterns of peonies and flowers.

On the cushion, Mu Rong Qing, who was wearing a light green wide-sleeved immortal dress, sat gracefully. There was an elegant smile on his face as he looked at Chu Yunge with a gentle gaze and met Chu Yunge's bright black eyes.

When she saw that the princess was looking at him, Chu Yunge subconsciously nodded her head in response with a hint of a smile. However, in her heart, she was mumbling: I've been out for quite a while, why haven't I come out yet? Could it be that she had encountered a problem and was unable to obtain the necklace?

However, with Feng Yi's martial arts and brain, he shouldn't be unable to obtain the necklace, right?

As he was pondering, he suddenly heard the sound of a door opening in the silent hall.

It should be Feng Yi!

As Chu Yunge was thinking, she quickly lifted her eyes and looked in the direction of the voice — — It was actually Ling Yuan! Chu Yunge opened her mouth wide, and immediately took a look at the hourglass, where there was not much sand left, and in less than half an incense's time, it would be completely emptied out, and at this rate, Feng Yi would definitely be able to run out of time!

The elders looked at the hourglass with relaxed expressions. It was as if eliminating Feng Yi was already a foregone conclusion.

At this moment, a guard walked out from the side door. He walked to the Great Elder's side and whispered a few words to him. The Great Elder nodded slightly and the corner of his mouth slightly curled up, revealing a mysterious smile.

Chu Yunge saw all of this and couldn't help but secretly curse. What are you laughing about, did you think you are Mona Lisa?

Ling Yuan walked to the Great Clan Elder, bowed slightly, and respectfully handed over the warrior's necklace.

The Great Clan Elder nodded, and extended his hand to receive it, indicating that Hei Yan could sit by the side and rest.

Ling Yuan sat at Chu Yunge's side. After he complacently glanced at the depressed Chu Yunge, he closed his eyes and began to recuperate from his injuries.

"Dang!" Following the sound of the gong, a guard loudly shouted: "Time's up!"

But Feng Yi still had not appeared!

Chu Yunge's heart fell to the bottom following the sound of the gong. Did something happen to Feng Yi? Was he injured? Could it be …

She anxiously walked in front of the Great Elder and asked urgently, "Great Elder, it's already time, Feng Yi is still not out. Can I go in to take a look?"

The Head Elder shook his head and said indifferently, "No!"

"What if something happens to him? What if there's danger? "

"Since you have already signed the Life and Death Contract, you can either live or die in peace. You will have nothing to do with others!" After the Great Elder finished speaking, he simply closed his eyes.

"You –" Chu Yunge flung her hands in anger and walked to the door of Feng Yi's passageway.

"I'll go in right now and see who dares to stop me!"

After saying that, he reached out his hand to push open the door.

"Hold on, Imperial Protector Princess!" Chu Yunge's hand stopped in mid air and looked towards the source of the sound.

The person who spoke was Murong Qing.

She slowly got up, walked to Chu Yunge's side and grabbed her hand.

"If you enter now, it would be equivalent to giving up your qualifications to participate in the next round. You and Feng Yi would be eliminated, even if this is the case."

"If something were to happen to him, why would I need this treasure? So what if I give up! What's the big deal! " Chu Yunge flipped her wrist and got rid of Murong Qing's hand. She continued to push at the door.
