Chapter 681: 3rd Stage Earth Realm
"Yes." Bai Lanhua nodded to them. "The trial of light is a test for becoming a member of the Holy Temple, and there are several stages we must pass, one of which is the darkness within us. To pass the test, we must completely cleanse ourselves of negative emotions and other things that can lead us into darkness. If we have a speck of darkness within us, we will fail. If we can pass all of those tests, then we will receive the blessing of light at the end, which will increase the potential of our light element."
"Isn't that too difficult to complete, Big Sis?" Huang Shuanger asked with a frown.
Bai Lanhua immediately turned to Huang Shuang'er. "Nothing in our lives is easy, remember? Every year, we hold the test, and less than one percent of participants pass all of them, a testament to the difficulty of overcoming the darkness within us. Despite having gone through it all, I'm not sure I can do it again."
"Why is that, Big Sis? Shouldn't your past experiences make it easier for you to pass them on again?" It was Shen Yuying who asked Bai Lanhua.
Bai Lanhua let out a heavy sigh before answering Shen Yuying. "The current me is different from the past me, especially after witnessing the mass slaughter carried out by those traitors against our members. When I first joined the holy temple, I had no difficulty passing all stages of the test because I was truly innocent at that time. As for now, my heart is filled with anger and revenge, and I eagerly await the opportunity to kill those who slaughtered our members in the past, so I don't have the confidence to take that test again."
Shao Yiying suddenly took Bai Lanhua's hand. "Big Sis, I don't know the details of everything that happened in your past life, but I know the person you are now. We have faith in you, and we will support you through everything to pass that test again."
"I agree with Yiying, Big Sis." Xia Quxian nodded and spoke. "We will help you as best as we can, Big Sis."
"You guys." Bai Lanhua muttered softly before nodding with a smile. "Let's go."
Soon, they reached the northernmost building, which bore a striking resemblance to a small temple, filled not only by demihumans but also by humans and beast races.
"Did you come here for treatment?" A female demihuman asked them.
"No." Bai Lanhua replied with a head shake. "My sisters came to this city for the first time, and they were curious about this place, so I brought them here to look around."
The female demihuman nodded in understanding. "Feel free to look around our place, but I hope you guys don't cause a scene, especially since we have too many patients right now." "Are they victims of the battle on Ancient King Island?" Bai Lanhua inquired, glancing at the long line of people gathered in front of a room. "Who is the person on duty in that room?" "You're right." The female demihuman replied with a heavy sigh. "I don't know exactly what happened on the Ancient King Island, but everyone who went there immediately went berserk, and too many people have died there. However, many of them managed to return, albeit under extremely severe conditions. The person in charge of that room is Sheng Hongfei, a direct descendant of Sheng Xifeng."
"Hmm?" Bai Lanhua raised an eyebrow. "Does that person really claim to be a direct descendant of Sheng Xifeng?"
The female demihuman nodded to Bai Lanhua. "At first, everyone doubted Shen Hongfei, especially since all of Shen Xifeng's descendants had already left this realm and gone to higher realms. However, he managed to convince the people in this city by using the exact same healing technique as him, and no one else can use it except his descendants."
"I see." Bai Lanhua nodded as she looked towards the room, but she didn't use her senses to check inside. "Thank you for your information."
"You're welcome."
Meanwhile, Feng Xian'er and the others were sitting and relaxing in their room, but a servant suddenly knocked on their door. "Ladies, Lord Han Yuanji asked me to see you, and he hopes to have a chat with you all. Are you willing to meet him?"
Xue Lan and the others turned to Feng Xian'er, who immediately answered the servant. "Tell Han Yuanji that our husband is busy with other matters, so he can return to his residence for now, and we will go see him in a few days."
The maid was taken aback for a moment by Feng Xian'er's answer. "Are you sure about that, Miss? Lord Han Yuanji is-"
"Don't make me repeat myself." As she released her phoenix aura, Feng Xian'er immediately interrupted the maid. "Tell Han Yuanji in accordance with my words now."
"Yes... yes, I will inform Lord Yuanji right away."
"What do you think made Han Yuanji come to us, Xian'er?"
Feng Xian'er turned to Yan Qingcheng with a smile. "What else? My hubby has already
conquered Chang Tian, and Kong Que is also in his hands now. Moreover, Han Yuanji is not stupid, and he is aware of the dire situation in this realm, so he want to build a good
relationship with us."
