Beside the bonfire, Gu Ruoqing was narrating to Li Qingniu the major events that they had experienced in the past few days.

Because she was pressed for time on the mountain, she didn't have the time to say anything. Now, she could finally say whatever she wanted without any restrictions. She wanted to have a good time and pour out all of her thoughts.

Then, will you not return to the Qingyang City anymore? Li Qingniu asked.

Gu Ruoqing shook her head: I don't know either, but the foundation of the Qingyang City is already broken, so even if Father has the power now to pull him together, the conflict within the same clan will still be severe. Father said that he is tired, and now, he only wants to create his own property before the old man cannot walk anymore. The development here is very good, you should be able to see how the towns near the Yinchuan City, although not big, but they are all relatively flourishing.

Mn, indeed, it's good if you don't want to go back. The conflict within Qingyang City is too serious, and it's not a place to be nostalgic.

Gu Ruoqing sighed, and said: Actually, scheming and scheming are the same everywhere, especially in the business field. The competition is extremely intense, and if not for the fact that there are too many things that I need to take care of, father would have come over by himself because he was worried about me, and I advised him to stay behind.

Li Qingniu frowned slightly, and wrangled over each other again. It seemed that ever since he had left the Xiao Man Village, there had always been various kinds of wily fights everywhere he went.

He did not understand why the human heart was so complicated. He believed that those who were not good could be directly eliminated and only those that were good could be saved. Just like how a bad person could be killed with a single palm strike and a good person could help him within his capabilities.

Of course, the doubt in his heart was not directed at Gu Ruoqing, but towards the entire human world.

It was as if he did not understand that there was something in this world called power. It was invisible, intangible, and could not be touched. It could decide the life and death of many people.

Hehe, this is the current state of human society. To survive in such an environment, it's not up to you to question it, unless … Heh heh.

Mr. Jian's voice suddenly sounded in his mind, but he stopped midsentence with a chuckle, as he had an expression that made people feel suspenseful.

Li Qingniu immediately asked: Unless what?

The Mr. Jian smiled and said, "Unless you have the right to change the order and then use your right to change the system of human society.

Right?

It was true that power sounded illusory, but as long as one had him, they could control human society. For humans, power was just like how for Savage Beast, the more power a person had, the more power they could do as they liked, while Savage Beast who had more power could oppress others.

Li Qingniu lowered his head and thought for a moment, his eyes suddenly became sharp, which meant as long as he became an unparalleled expert, he would have unparalleled authority.

The Mr. Jian laughed, nodded and said: It's easy to understand, but it still needs a bit of thought as a foundation, otherwise, relying only on brute force to conquer it would become the behavior of the Savage Beast system. I do not praise it, but strength is the basic condition for a person who originally had no rights to obtain power.

Li Qingniu clenched his fists slightly: So no matter what, I still need to obtain a strong power to change everything that is twisted. I must make myself strong enough to change this world, strong enough to protect everyone around me.

Hehe, then continue working hard. I'll be waiting to see the day you change the world.

On a distant hillside, a man dressed in a Black Cloak robe was quietly staring at them from the forest. He stood there without moving, like a stone statue.

Suddenly, the sound of heavy footsteps came from the grass behind him. It was fast and complicated, and clearly, it wasn't just one person. Moreover, everyone had unique skills, especially Qing Gong who had fast footsteps.

In the blink of an eye, there were already more than ten black scarves covering their faces.

Is everyone from Eighteen Pirates here? A weird voice came out from the Black Cloak, causing people to be unable to tell its age.

The leader of the group laughed and said, "We brothers have always shared the same intention. Every time we act, we act together, so..."

So your price is usually eighteen times that of other people.

Man in Black chuckled: I believe that you have heard of my brother's reputation before, but since you are willing to offer us eighteen times the original price, I believe that you want something that is worth far more than what you are willing to offer, and the risk is not low either, so our price is definitely reasonable.

The Cloaked Man remained motionless. Only when the wind blew and he moved his cloak, did a ripple appear on his body: "I hope that you can prove my ability with the results, but I like you because you all dare to attack me. I only hope that your strength can face your arrogance."

Hehehe … Is this Celestial Star Sect? Don't worry, this isn't the first time us brothers have interacted with them. Moreover, these are just dolls that have been arranged to train. There aren't many people with real ability.

I hope that you aren't just talking about it. I want to remind you that among them, there are experts with Star-moon Level, and two of them are already close to the starry sky.

Heh, Star-moon, right? Don't worry, how many people who dare mess around on this path are weak? Don't forget that the Hanhaiwuzong back then had the reputation of the number one divine thief. Although there was some difference between stealing and stealing, it was still the same in nature.

Alright, then let's start the operation. Use the results to prove that you guys are worth 18 times the original price. Remember, if I want to live, if I kill someone, you won't get even a single coin.

Hehe, Eighteen Pirates does things, and has never done anything bad before, please watch carefully, brothers, let's go.

Following that person's call, eighteen black shadows flashed and disappeared into the dark night.

The deeper the night went, the shadow of the moon was like a painting.

It was already getting late. Tomorrow, everyone would get up early to continue their journey. After traveling for an entire day, everyone was tired. Not long after the meal, they all went to bed.

Because it was a trial, it had to train their ability to survive, and adapt to the situation. Thus, not only were there no carriages, even the tents and other living items, the Sect s did not have any arrangements. Only a portion of the dry rations were provided for travel purposes.

As a result, everyone could only sleep on the ground. They picked up some dry grass and branches to spread on the ground.

Although Gu Ruoqing had prepared a large amount of materials, Fenggu Zhengyun asked for everyone to undergo the trial in accordance to the rules of the Sect.

On one hand, it was to truly train their own abilities, and on the other hand, it was to prevent other halls' disciples from using their words against Lingyun Hall.

Elder Ling Yun had previously said that even if it was within the Celestial Star Sect, he would still have the common cold attitude of a person in the mortal world.

Actually, every hall was secretly competing with each other. They were all using different methods to prove that the disciples they taught were even more outstanding.

For example, the Dragon Martial Hall that was mentioned previously only accepted the top ten disciples with the highest aptitudes. They would leave more energy and resources to the disciples with greater potential in order to carefully guide them and speed up their growth.

Another example would be Red Searing Temple. Although the more the merrier, in the subsequent strict training, the disciples who could not endure the hardships of training would be eliminated. They would then arouse their greatest potential with great hardship, and even be in danger of losing their lives.

Moreover, within the Nine Halls, Lingyun Hall was not that strict or transcendent in this area. There were very few people who compared their Lingyun Hall with the other halls.

However, there were also some people who said that it was because the Lingyun Hall had been lax in its management of disciples, that was why there were so few outstanding disciples and none of them had the ability to keep a low profile when compared to the other halls.

Just when most of the people had already gone to sleep, a few black figures could be seen under the shadow of the moon. They stuck close to the ground and quietly approached …

The night breeze gently blew, the smell was intoxicating, the grass leaves sighed, and occasionally the sound of crickets and birds could be heard synthesizing the sounds of nature.

Suddenly, Li Qingniu who had just entered his dreams opened his eyes, he sat up and looked around.

Almost at the same time, Fenggu Zhengyun and another senior brother called Yu Hongfei woke up.

The three of them glanced at each other, and as their gazes intersected, the three of them had already jumped up and split up to inspect their surroundings.

After looking around and seeing that there was nothing special about it, the three of them were confused, when Fenggu Zhengyun suddenly turned and looked at the rock by the river.

And the Junior-apprentice Sister Lanyu? Fenggu Zhengyun raised her eyebrows and asked.

Yu Hongfei said: Could he have already gone back to sleep?

Li Qingniu said: Senior Brother, can I ask you to confirm it? I'll look around.

Fenggu Zhengyun nodded her head: Mn, I will split up with you to search, Hong Yu go over there to check and if you can't find it, then wake everyone up and be on standby.

Good.

After the three divided up their duties, each of them headed in a different direction.

Yu Hongfei went to the resting area of his senior and junior sisters to confirm, but he did not find Murong Lanyu. He immediately roused the sleeping people and gathered them in one place, in case anyone went missing at the same time, and waited for the order to act.

What happened?

I heard that the Junior-apprentice Sister Lanyu went missing.

How could that be? Not long ago, I saw her there admiring the moon.

Could it be because of the Junior Brother Taurus... Sigh, life naturally has its own infatuation, but unfortunately, all of it belongs to others. Muyanhao laughed bitterly to himself as he sighed.

Several ghost figures were running in different directions from the forest. Each of them was carrying a gunny sack. From the shape of the sack, it looked like it was carrying a person.

At the turning point of a meandering mountain road, Fenggu Zhengyun suddenly appeared and blocked the path of one of the figures.

Hehe, as expected of someone who came from the Celestial Star Sect, to actually discover this so quickly? The person said with a sneer.

Fenggu Zhengyun said as she furrowed her brows: "Since you know that we are from Celestial Star Sect, and you dare to come offend us, I think you should have forgotten how to write the word death!" Leave the people here and let you go.
