More and more trialists focused their attention on Li Xiangshan.
The last three days were not only torture for Li Xiangshan’s side but also for the Blood Slaughtering Alliance, Infinity Gate, Xuan Door, Heavenly Sword Sect, and other trialists.
“How many have we lost?”
Ling Tianli’s voice betrayed no hint of emotion.
Qin Lang kept his head down, not daring to answer.
Next to him, Scarface took a deep breath and said solemnly, “Including our group, we’ve lost thirty-seven brothers.”
“Thirty-seven…” Ling Tianli murmured to himself: “Do you realize, this kind of loss… even if we take first place, it will incite the displeasure of the Elders.”
He looked around at them.
Everyone’s face changed simultaneously, and they fell utterly silent in fear, not knowing what to say.
“Elder Brother Ling, this isn’t our fault.” Qin Lang gritted his teeth: “Who would have thought this year’s Heaven Punisher would be so cunning… especially that Li Xiangshan.”
Mentioning Li Xiangshan made Qin Lang seethe with anger.
However, Ling Tianli coldly questioned, “Were you not overconfident from the start? Didn’t I tell you to be careful?”
Qin Lang was chastised and immediately lowered his head.
But he felt indignant.
He just didn’t dare to voice it.
“At the start, there weren’t many people around Li Xiangshan. If only you had been earnest, and not underestimated him, you wouldn’t have given him any opportunity. Now the people gathered around him have exceeded our estimates; trying to pry his secret out by ourselves is now impossible.”
“What do we do then, Elder Brother Ling?” asked the short-haired girl timidly.
Ling Tianli looked at her, “If we can’t get it, we can’t let those people get it either!”
Qin Lang raised his head, indicating support.
He wished Li Xiangshan would just die right now.
Because of this guy, he had suffered so much, and now his Fairy Armor was nearly beyond repair.
It’s all that Li guy’s fault!
“Xuan Door has made its move, they have been getting close to the Heavenly Sword Sect recently…” Scarface Wang Song spoke softly.
“Heavenly Sword Sect… Those guys only think of their ancient ancestors, it’s baffling why Xuan Door would cooperate with them; cooperating with us is the right path!” snorted Jiang Yu.
No sooner had he spoken did they hear Ling Tianli’s voice, “Are they even worthy of cooperating with our Infinity Gate?”
Jiang Yu’s expression instantly turned the color of liver, and he dared not utter another word.
…
Meanwhile.
Old Ma quickly approached Li Xiangshan’s side and whispered, “Sect leader, we’ve found the person. He came running from the Royal City, with Eternal Star Level Cultivation… the people he has made contact with are still under investigation.”
Li Xiangshan nodded, “Issue the command, we move tonight… there might not be just one traitor among us.”
Old Ma was taken aback.
He nodded vigorously.
Everyone wanted to survive… so those convinced that his side would lose naturally sought to plea to the mightier side.
But the problem was–
When you came to me, I sheltered you with utmost care.
Now you wish to live but wish for my death!
For Li Xiangshan… this was truly a death sentence!
The door closed.
Li Xiangshan took out the prepared Star-patterned Tactics and the Geng Metal Objects.
“We still lack twenty Geng Metal Objects and two Dan Fangs… I will continue to find a way, I hope what I have brought could provide me with more information.”
The glow flickered.
All objects placed before the Lotus Mirror vanished.
Li Xiangshan subconsciously clenched his fists.
He knew he had bet correctly.
The Treasure Mirror had agreed to this transaction with him.
Watching on…
A line of text slowly surfaced on the Treasure Mirror.
[Secret World…]
Pei Jinye had only mentioned the origins of Qin Lang and others.
When the concept of trialists was introduced, he could even feel Li Xiangshan’s anger.
“Treating us like hunting targets…”
“But we are living beings too!”
“Do they see us as no different from beasts?”
“How dare they!”
Bloodshot eyes above tightly clenched fists belonged to Li Xiangshan.
His father, grandfather, including those friends of his past… had all been mercilessly hunted down.
And why should this… be something they had to endure!
You trialists already enjoy far superior cultivation resources than us, so why come and shatter our peaceful lives!
Li Xiangshan suppressed the tumult within his heart, his voice hoarse as he asked, “Treasure Mirror, please tell me, how can I break the situation?”
A line of text appeared on the Treasure Mirror.
These words actually came from the ancient books left behind by Elder Muye; Pei Jinye had contributed a part of them.
This elementary mantra from the “Sword Scripture” had something to do with Pei Jinye’s plan.
Whether the plan could be executed depended on whether Li Xiangshan could be impressive or not.
…
According to his years of infiltrating the trialists’ communication channels, he had almost ascertained that Muye was the Senior Uncle Ancestor that the Heavenly Sword Sect was looking for.
Now, Pei Jinye wanted to entangle Li Xiangshan with Muye.
If so, the attitude of the Heavenly Sword Sect would become crucial.
“Elder Muye, I promised to look after your descendants… it depends on whether your disciples and grand-disciples agree or not.”
…
Li Xiangshan indeed did not let Pei Jinye down.
In the two days of flight, he had managed to learn the “Sword Scripture”‘s beginner’s mantra from the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Although unsure why the Lotus Mirror suddenly transmitted this mantra, he still complied.
“The Treasure Mirror told me to pay attention to a sect called the Heavenly Sword Sect… Could it be that the “Sword Scripture” I’m cultivating now is related to this sect?”
However…
Li Xiangshan slightly furrowed his eyebrows.
Ever since learning that these Heavenly Demons appeared here just to hunt them, he couldn’t muster any goodwill for these outsiders.
The last day of the trials.
Almost every trialist had fallen into some sort of madness.
In no uncertain terms, they killed on sight.
Cultivators of the secret world… were no different from livestock in the eyes of these trialists.
It was also on this day.
Old Ma had been slashed by Ling Tianli, almost making his valiant last stand.
The armor Li Xiangshan had been wearing had also turned into scrap metal, casually tossed to the ground.
Blood Slaughtering Alliance!
Infinity Gate!
Including Xuan Door!
And many other sect members… today was like besieging the Peak of Light, surrounding him tightly.
“Is there really no way out?”
“But I–”
“Really cannot accept this!”
Li Xiangshan alone drew his sword while stepping over the body of a trialist from some sect, with Old Ma lying helplessly on the stairs beside him, propping himself up with a sword.
This battle was unbearably humiliating!
Two hundred against a thousand wasn’t the worst; within those two hundred, a shameful thirty percent chose to betray for glory.
And laughably…
This thirty percent was summarily executed on the spot by Ling Tianli and his men.
Truly laughable.
“Young Master, I have no regrets in this life.”
Old Ma pulled a smile, then with a piece of cloth in his mouth, he firmly tied his sword to his arm.
Killing intent was boiling in Li Xiangshan.
“Old Ma, do you remember what my father said to me before he passed away?”
He turned his head to look at Old Ma, his voice chilling: “Even in death, do not kneel before these bastards! Old Ma, watch closely how I smash their bones!”

With that said, he took a step forward.
Li Xiangshan’s voice boldly declared, “All of you bastards over there, listen up! Your grandpa Li is standing right here. If you have the guts, come and fight me! See for yourself whether your grandpa Li is strong or not!”
His voice rang out!
Shocking for miles around!
Deathly silence filled the hall!
