Chapter 989: Enter the Secret Realm
In the next few days, Lu Ping'an concentrated on cultivation, only occasionally in the middle of the night, instructing Zhou Afu's swordsmanship.
As for Lin Chulan and Zhou Afu, they still went out early and returned late to participate in the entrance assessment of Cloud Sword Gate.
It wasn't until the end of the assessment on the fifth day that Lin Chulan found Lu Ping'an and said, "Starting tomorrow, Ah Fu and I will enter the secret realm and participate in the assessment for three days and two nights!"
Lu Ping'an nodded and asked, "How are you feeling these days?"
"It's so easy, it even feels a little pediatric!" replied Lin Chulan.
If other people who participated in the assessment, especially those who were unsuccessful, heard this, they would have to be angry on the spot!
They worked tirelessly, tried their best, but they couldn't get through.
As a result, Lin Chulan actually thinks that pediatrics, doesn't that mean that they are not even as good as children?
However, when Lu Ping'an heard this, he smiled faintly: "Indeed, this kind of assessment is indeed too simple for you, but what I am asking is not about the assessment, but how do you feel about the Cloud Sword Gate?"
"It's not bad, the rules are strict, and the disciples in the door are harmonious, unlike the Demon Sect, where several sub-altars don't look at each other well, fighting openly and secretly!" Lin Chulan replied.
Lu Ping'an nodded: "With your strength, being an elder in the Cloud Sword Sect is more than enough, let you start as a disciple, will you feel uncomfortable?"
This is very important, if Lin Chulan can't accept this identity gap, and makes a move inside the Cloud Sword Gate, revealing his identity, then things will be in trouble.
At that time, even if Yan Zhengtao deliberately wanted to protect her, it would not be possible.
According to the rules of the gate, the Demon Sect disciples infiltrated the Cloud Sword Gate, and the lightest punishment was also to be imprisoned and suffer from whipping every day.
"I couldn't accept it at first, a person of my own strength, suppressed the realm to come to participate in the Cloud Sword Gate entrance assessment, just get used to it!" Lin Chulan replied.
Lu Ping'an nodded with satisfaction: "After this assessment, the Lord of Jiufeng Peak will inevitably rush to ask for you, you must choose Yunfeng, so it is safer!"
"Well, I know!" Lin Chulan said, remembering one more thing, "By the way, with Ah Fu's performance in the past few days, entering the Cloud Sword Gate is already a sure thing, don't you suggest which peak he chooses?"
Lu Ping'an shook his head: "Don't interfere too much in his life trajectory, let him go!"
Lin Chulan was slightly stunned, nodded, and then turned to leave.
As soon as she left with her front foot, Mu Qing, the master of Yunfeng Peak, used the sound transmission stone to contact him.
"Elder Mu, it's so late, is there anything to do with me?" Lu Ping'an asked with a smile.
Mu Qing said: "I have heard about the trapping of Duan Tianzuo a few days ago, you are really bold, aren't you afraid that you will not return?"
Lu Ping'an could hear that Mu Qing was concerned about himself: "As a cultivator, it is my duty to eliminate demons and defend the Dao, and what is it to take a little risk!"
"Come on, I don't know you yet, are you worried that he will do something to Lin Chulan and lure him out with his own danger, right?" Mu Qing pierced Lu Ping'an at once.
Lu Ping'an was a little embarrassed, quickly coughed dryly, and changed the topic: "You have been the busiest person in Yunjian Gate recently, and you have taken time out of your busy schedule to find me, I'm afraid it's not just to talk about these things that have passed, right?"
Mu Qing asked, "Have your injuries healed?"
"What are you asking for, do you want me to help?" Lu Ping'an asked rhetorically.
Mu Qing smiled and said, "Didn't you say before that you wanted to see the disciples who were assessed, I will take the risk to help you once today and let you bring a few disciples to enter the secret realm!"
Lu Ping'an knew that Mu Qing was here to grab free labor.
Most of the reason is that the quality of the disciples in this assessment is relatively high, and there are too many disciples who have persisted until now, and there are not enough people in Yunfeng.
Thinking about this, Lu Ping'an asked, "With my current identity, can I receive the subsidy from the sect?"
"Of course not, it's already a big risk to let you lead the team, and you still care about me for money!" Mu Qing said unhappily.
Lu Ping'an smiled: "The entire entry assessment is up to you, what risk can you take?"
"The secret realm of the Cloud Sword Sect is not as simple as you imagined, it is full of dangers, if something happens to the assessment disciples you bring, it will affect the reputation of our Cloud Sword Sect. You must know that the reason why so many people participate in every assessment of Yunjianmen, and even become a major event in Dongyu Kingdom, is because there has never been a problem in the assessment process for the safety of the assessment disciples. Mu Qing explained.
Lu Ping'an smiled: "You don't believe in my strength? With my strength, what can go wrong?"
"You haven't been to the secret realm, you don't know anything about the situation inside, and you don't have any experience in leading a team, it's hard for me to believe you!" Although Mu Qing said this, he still believed in Lu Ping'an in his heart.
Lu Ping'an sighed and said, "Isn't it a little good? If that's the case, then I think it's better to forget it!"
"Of course not, there are very rare beasts in the secret realm, whether it is a beast core or a treasure of heaven and earth, as long as you can find it, it is all yours!" Mu Qing replied.
Lu Ping'an wanted to improve his strength, but he was lacking a high-level beast core, and he couldn't imagine that the secret realm of Cloud Sword Gate could be taken casually.
If that's the case, it's worth the trip, so he says, "Okay, I'll go, do I need anything to prepare?"
"Don't use anything else, just change your face and don't let people recognize you!" Mu Qing said.
"Okay, I got it!"
After the two discussed, Mu Qing hurriedly cut off contact and went to take care of himself.
Early the next morning, Lu Ping'an changed his face and went to Yunfeng and found the peak master Mu Qing.
Half an hour later, under Mu Qing's arrangement, Lu Ping'an took three men, two women and five assessment disciples and stepped into the secret realm.
Coincidentally, among the five assessment disciples led by Lu Ping'an, there were actually two familiar faces.
One is Lao Ping, who broke into the Zhou family's house a few days ago and wanted to seek revenge on himself. The other is the son-in-law who was in the return house before and wanted to help him say good things in front of Mu Qing.
For the boy who wanted to go through the back door to beat the boy, although Lu Ping'an didn't hate it, he didn't have a good impression of it.
But for Lao Ping, he is still quite interested.
Although Lao Ping's father, Lao Liangdong, was arrogant and unreasonable, bullying men and women all day long, and harming the people everywhere.
But Lao Ping's personality is not with his father, and even diametrically opposed to him.
Even when his father was killed, he could still retain some sanity and listen to Lu Ping'an's words.
That alone is a rare remark.
After the team entered the secret realm, after a short chat, Lu Ping'an also learned their names and identities from the mouths of the other four disciples.
The son-in-law brother Lu Ping'an had seen was surnamed Ji, named Ji Kang, and his accent seemed to be from Beiji Country, and his strength was in the martial arts realm.
The last man, named Xin Yan, is Ji Kang's scholar, two years older than Ji Kang, and his strength is also higher than Ji Kang, and he has already entered the seventh level of the martial arts realm.
As for the two little girls, they are twin sisters, one is called Mu Chen, and the other is called Mu Wan, and their strength is in the martial arts realm fivefold.
Soon after entering the secret realm, Lu Ping'an said to the five people: "Okay, Elder Mu has already explained clearly before coming in, the results are subject to my evaluation of you and the beast core in your hand, you try to find some demon beasts that are easy to deal with, I still have some problems, so I will leave first!"
With that, he flew towards the depths of the secret realm by himself, preparing to hunt a heaven-rank demon beast several miles away.
Seeing this, Xin Yan couldn't help but complain: "What kind of team leader is this, as soon as he came in, he ran away by himself, ignoring our safety!
"Okay, let's not say a word. He dared to leave directly, he must have known that there were no powerful demon beasts in this vicinity. As soon as Xin Yan finished speaking, Ji Kang stopped him.
Afterwards, he asked Lao Ping and the Mu sisters: "Three, do you think it is better for us to cooperate or separate next?"
"It's also quite dangerous here, I think it's better to cooperate!" Mu Chen said.
Lao Ping objected to this: "I think it's okay, if you cooperate, how can the beast core be divided? It can't be divided into five, right?
"This is not unreasonable!, but it is too dangerous for one person to deal with demon beasts after all," Ji Kang frowned, "Otherwise, we will still act separately, but in order to avoid casualties, if one person encounters a powerful demon beast, everyone else must rush over to support as soon as possible, and the beast core is still the one who found it, how about it?"
When everyone heard this, they all nodded: "Just do it!"
Rumble!
As soon as the few people finished speaking, a loud noise came from the depths of the secret realm.
Obviously, if this kind of movement can occur, it must be that Lu Ping'an and the Heavenly Rank Demon Beast are fighting.
