Chapter 226: The Final Test
Soon after a few people entered the hall, the surviving monks arrived one after another, Jiang Yuan of the Qingyun Sect and Ouyang Jing of the Qingchi Sword Sect were among them.
Seeing that people were almost here, mainly because Wen Chang thought that several people who were extremely threatening except for Ye Pianran came, he adjusted his expression, smiled, and said loudly.
"I think you are all very concerned, how to leave the underground palace, otherwise you won't find here."
"Yes, does Wen Daoyou know something?"
Needless to say, almost everyone thinks so, if there is only one person here who knows how to leave, it is Wen Chang.
Of course, Wen Chang couldn't tell the truth, so he said sloppily.
"Hehe, where do I have such great ability, it's just a little personal speculation."
"Wen Daoyou, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
"You must have also discovered that this dungeon is full of puppets, such as the corpse puppet on the first layer, the test on the second layer, and in the third layer, a new type of puppet has appeared, which is this humanoid puppet. If that's what I expected, you've all fought with humanoid golems, right? ”
Everyone nodded, indeed, the closer you get to the center of the labyrinth, the more powerful the puppets you encounter, especially in the last stretch of the road, there is a chance that there will be humanoid puppets in the room, which are invincible.
At the beginning, the few people who gathered outside the hall fled all the way because they couldn't defeat the humanoid puppets, and found the center of the maze by mistake, but there were more than a dozen humanoid puppets in the hall, which made them in a dilemma.
It was precisely for this reason that after these people entered the hall, they were surprised that the humanoid puppet could not move, and they couldn't help but be very happy in their hearts.
No one noticed that Ouyang Jing, who was standing at the edge of the crowd, blinked her eyes, showing a little disappointment.
Among the dozen or so people present, she was the latest to come, not because she couldn't find her way, but because she liked to fight with humanoid puppets, and she came down several times in a row, which naturally delayed a lot of time.
Ouyang Jing knew that she was only one step away from comprehending the sword intent, so she naturally refused to let go of such a good training object as a humanoid puppet, because the sword cultivator was recognized as the strongest combat power monk, and the sword intent naturally had to be in the middle of the battle to get the best understanding.
Although she is only in the middle stage of foundation building, there is no doubt that her strength is more than that of most of the people present, after all, when those people face the humanoid puppets, they only have the share of running away, including Wen Chang.
After a few fierce battles, Ouyang Jing obviously felt that she had made progress, and it would not be long before she could comprehend the sword intent, and hearing the news that the puppet could not move at this time was naturally not a good thing for her.
Ouyang Jing is not Wen Chang, her mood calmed down quickly, and she remembered a person, someone who might be able to push her.
It's just, strange thing, why hasn't that person come yet?
Wen Chang didn't notice Ouyang Jing's strange appearance, and when he saw everyone nodding, the smile on his face deepened.
"Combined with these, I have a bold guess, in a corner of this underground palace, there may be the inheritance of puppet art, and the inheritance is the key to leaving here, otherwise, are these puppets decorations?"
Hearing this, everyone showed a thoughtful look, and within a moment, a monk with an impatience raised questions.
If that's the case, then what should we do now? Go out and find a legacy? ”
The prey took the bait, and Wen Chang maintained a warm smile, ready to say the words he had already prepared.
"Actually, don't bother, I ......"
Just when he was about to put everything on Ye Pianran, a cold voice suddenly sounded.
"So everyone is here, I'm not late."
Ouyang Jing turned around for the first time, and when she saw the person coming, her eyes lit up, and she was surprised.
"It's you! I knew you were coming. ”
"I'm tired of Ouyang Daoyou."
Ye Pianran gestured to her and stepped into the hall, and the next moment she stepped through the door, there was a boom, and the heavy portal closed behind her, tightly sealed, bringing an indescribable depression.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the hall fell silent, and the smiles on everyone's faces disappeared, and they felt that something was about to happen.
"The door is closed, what's going on?"
"Maybe the final test is about to begin! If you want to leave, you can't do it without paying a price. ”
"There are so many of us gathered together, the door is not closed, but this female cultivator closed as soon as she came in, it seems that we are the only ones who can live here."
Everyone was talking, of course they didn't think that Ye Pianran's ability to control the opening and closing of the gate was nothing more than conforming to some kind of rule in the underground palace.
In the center of the crowd, the corners of Wen Chang's eyes twitched, both angry that his words were interrupted before he could finish speaking, and angry that this female cultivator's luck could be so good, but she came over at a critical time, it was simply unreasonable.
The arrow was ready to be sent, and he could only finish the rest of the words.
"Presumably everyone is very concerned about the inheritance of the puppet technique, with the inheritance, it is naturally not difficult to control these puppets, just imagine, if someone controls a dozen puppets, what kind of scene will it be?"
Watching with satisfaction as everyone's faces changed, Wen Chang continued.
"It's not a secret, not long ago, I was only one step away from getting the inheritance, but unfortunately my skills were not as good as others, so I could only watch the inheritance fall into the hands of others, and this person was ......"
Wen Chang curled the corners of his lips and raised his hand to point in the direction of the gate.
"She!"
"Is that her?"
There was only one person in that direction, it was Ye Pianran, who had just arrived, Ouyang Jing was a little surprised, and the other monks also showed similar looks.
Ye Pianran didn't have the slightest hint of panic, and said lightly.
"There is no basis for what I said, Wen Daoyou targeted me as soon as he came up, so can I also say that in fact, Wen Daoyou got the puppet inheritance, but the wicked person sued me first and wanted to frame me?"
This is a powerful rebuttal, because no one can testify for Wen Chang, after all, only the two of them know the inside story, and as long as both sides insist on their own words, no one can judge the truth or falsehood.
"That's the truth, unless you can come up with evidence."
Someone spoke out in agreement, none of them were stupid, and they would not easily listen to one person's words, so everyone's eyes fell on Wen Chang again.
Wen Chang is anxious and helpless now, anxious because there is no time, the door is closed, which means that the final test will be opened soon, if he can't grasp the opportunity and turn Ye Pianran into the target of everyone, then he is in danger.
The helpless reason is that if he could finish what he said at that time, he would be able to preconceive and leave an impression in everyone's hearts, even if Ye Pian came later, it would not be so simple to turn the situation around, and it would definitely not be as easy as it is now.
It's a pity that the time and place are favorable, and he doesn't occupy any of them, but under pressure, he really thinks of a feasible statement.
"Why do you need evidence, this Taoist friend is the last to come, can't it explain the problem? If you hadn't found a place to digest the inheritance, how could you have come so late. ”
"Wen Daoyou's words are wrong, I came late because I was entangled in a humanoid puppet, and it was difficult to get out. On the other hand, it may not be impossible for Wen Daoyou to rush here in a hurry, but he wants to fan the flames, so that he can stay out of the matter and the golden cicada will come out of its shell. ”
Ye Pianran was not in a hurry, and once again made a powerful counterattack.
