C446 Passing through

Just as Xuanyuan Chen wanted to go, he was stopped by Shang Zhiqing and Shen Haoxuan.

He turned his head, and his pair of scarlet eyes stared at Shen Haoxuan and Shang Zhiqing fiercely. The two of them were not afraid in the slightest, and continued to stop Xuanyuan Chen.

"Even if you rush over, you might not even be able to bring your sister back safely. Elder sister, she has been exposed to the fragrance of the Bewitching Flower. Other than her, no one else can save her. " Shang Zhiqing hurriedly explained.

Xuanyuan Chen pursed his lips, and his gaze swept past the location of the Bewitching Flower on the cliff not far away. A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but want to destroy the Bewitching Flower.

If not for the fragrance of the flower, how could A Rong be trapped on the iron chain?

Xie Qingrong closed her eyes, all perception of the outside world completely disappearing, even the heat that continuously rose up from the ground disappeared in an instant.

That scene appeared in front of her eyes again. It was the nightmare she would have at night when she first arrived in this world.

Flames shot up into the sky and explosions rang through the sky.

This was her first and last mission in her eighteenth year as a killer.

Except, she had failed in this mission. She had never lost before.

Her closest comrade thrust a dagger into her chest and, to her disbelief, hurled her into the blast zone, allowing the flames and explosions to engulf her.

After waking up, she had nightmares for several nights in a row in this world.

Now, he was trapped in this dream once again.

She had never understood why her comrades had hurt her, but it was all over.

Countless amounts of flames were carefully pushed apart with both hands, and the man who appeared after the flames was Xuanyuan Chen.

Xie Qingrong suddenly laughed, and woke up from the illusion with a smile.

His back was already burned by the scorching magma layer, and fine layers of sweat flowed out.

, Shen Haoxuan and Shang Zhiqing who were ahead of them and looking at them with a serious and worried expression.

The corner of Xie Qingrong's mouth rose, and quickly passed the iron chain.

Xuanyuan Chen hugged Xie Qingrong tightly, as if he wished that Xie Qingrong could be embedded into his own blood and bones.

Xie Qingrong knew that Xuanyuan Chen was worried sick. She lightly patted Xuanyuan Chen's back and softly said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Shang Zhiqing and Shen Haoxuan clenched their ten fingers tightly and looked at the two of them with gratitude, saying: "We have passed this trial, let's first rest a bit and go to the next trial. In the next trial, we must focus our minds and not let our guard down. "

After finishing her sentence, she forced a smile. She didn't want anyone to see the fear in her heart.

There was only the last test left, but the last test was given by one of the Elders Guild's Elders. She could not guarantee what question the Elders Guild's members would come up with.

Everything was unknown.

As the door opened, a person stood at the entrance of the fourth checkpoint. All four of them looked incredibly familiar to him.

He had a white beard and was leaning on his walking stick. He looked very old.

It was the Great Elder.

Amongst the four of them, the one who reacted the most was Shang Zhiqing. From Shen Haoxuan's angle, they saw that Shang Zhiqing's lips were pale, and pretended to be resolute as she walked towards the Great Clan Elder.

"Master." Shang Zhiqing shouted softly. She never thought that her master would actually personally come to test them.

The Great Elder looked at Shang Zhiqing's pale face and chuckled, "There's no need to be too nervous. After all, I'm the one who asked the few of you to come over and help out, so naturally there won't be any problems.

"Thank you, Grand Elder." Xie Qingrong cupped his fists, sincerely thanking her.

The reason why she, Xuanyuan Chen and Shen Haoxuan had chosen to follow Shang Zhiqing and come to the Shang clan without any hesitation was only to help Shang Zhiqing.

As for the other effects and consequences, they were not part of her plan.

"Are you guys ready?" If they were not ready, he could give them time to prepare. To be able to pass the first three trials with this kind of speed, these people were definitely not ordinary people.

He thought that Shen Haoxuan was just an ordinary trader. Although he had the title of being the richest man in the world, he was more willing to believe that Xuanyuan Chen's name was in front of him to open up a path.

It was just that during the second stage of Life and Death Chess, he had personally witnessed Shen Haoxuan's other side.

A man who could kill his way out of the chessboard was no ordinary person.

Only then did he realize that his scope of vision was too narrow. After all these years, he had stayed in the Shang family for too long, his life was too comfortable.

"Yes, Great Elder. You can begin." Xuanyuan Chen said, although with his status and identity, he did not need to respect others, but the respect that the person in front of him had to have was still there.

"I won't make things difficult for you all. I'll come up with three questions, and each of you will have a chance to answer one of them. If I'm satisfied with your answers, then this test will be passed."

The Great Clan Elder stroked his beard, looking at Xuanyuan Chen and the other two with a smile. As for Shang Zhiqing, he had already retreated to the side obediently, waiting quietly.

After all, she had promised the Great Elder that she would tell them some of the knowledge and techniques needed to clear the level, but she definitely wouldn't be able to help them with it herself.

"Who will answer the first question first?" The Great Elder didn't answer the first question first. Instead, he found someone to answer first, increasing the difficulty.

But Xuanyuan Chen, Xie Qingrong and Shen Haoxuan did not back down, Shen Haoxuan was the first to stand out.

He shook his tasseled fan, and acted like a gentleman, saying gently and politely: "Great Clan Elder, this one will answer the first question, please set the question."

Looking at Shen Haoxuan's humble and amiable appearance, the Great Clan Elder felt a tinge of satisfaction in his heart. It was compatible with his disciple, but it was a pity.

"What is time?"

When this question was asked, Shen Haoxuan was immediately stunned.

He had already made his preparations to face all sorts of strange and complicated questions, but he didn't expect that the Great Elder would have such a problem.

However, Shen Haoxuan was only stunned for a moment, and quickly smiled, "Great Clan Elder, are you sure that's the problem?"

He still wanted to confirm. After all, this question could be said to have an answer, or it could also be said to have no answer. It would all depend on whether or not he could give the answer in the Great Elder's heart.

The Great Clan Elder looked at Shen Haoxuan's confident expression and stroked his white beard. He chuckled and said, "Young Master Shen already has the answer in his heart, there's no need for me to ask another question."

Shen Haoxuan narrowed his eyes, a trace of respect for the Great Clan Elder rose in his heart. He had lived for more than twenty years and had seen many different kinds of people.

However, if the Grand Elder didn't have a thorough understanding, he probably wouldn't ask such a question.

He slowly paced back and forth and lightly waved his folding fan, combing through the answers that had formed in his mind and making them more fluent.
