The Third Trial

Ling Qingzhu, Ying Huanhuan, Lin Langtian, Mu Qianqian and more than thirty other outstanding talents followed Lin Zhentian to the villa where Ye Feng lived.

A thick white fog enveloped the villa. What lay within the fog? No one could see clearly.

"What's inside?" Wang Yan asked curiously.

Lin Zhentian simply smiled and did not answer Wang Yan's question.

"If you want to know, just go in and you'll find out." Ying Huanhuan was fearless as she stepped into the mist.

"We're already here, we can't just go back now, can we?" Lin Langtian also stepped out and walked into the mist.

As Lin Langtian's figure disappeared into the mist, his consciousness immediately separated from his physical body.

A person was walking towards him.

"Lin Xiao?"

Lin Langtian was stunned. The person walking towards him was none other than Lin Xiao, whom he had once defeated.

"Lin Langtian, you've caused me so much suffering!" Lin Xiao scolded.

"I have already admitted my mistake to you," Lin Langtian explained.

"Is admitting your mistake enough? Do you know how I spent those years? I was ridiculed. They called me a good-for-nothing."

"Actually, I don't think I did anything wrong."

"You've ruined me, and you still don't realize what you did wrong?"

"Lin Xiao, you are a disciple of the branch family."

"Aren't the disciples of the branch family human beings?"

"Lin Xiao, your Lin Family in Qingyang Town is now the main Lin family. If you are truly Lin Xiao, you should know that the main family must also have branch families. Only when the main family and branch families each fulfill their responsibilities can a powerful family stand tall in the Great Yan Dynasty. Otherwise, this family will be very weak in resisting attacks, no different from some third-rate forces. I can apologize for crippling you in the past. If it happened again, I would do the same thing." Lin Langtian's eyes were firm.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xiao turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared.

Lin Xiao disappeared, and a person appeared in front of him.

"Er Niu?"

Lin Langtian recognized the man who had suddenly appeared. He was the first person Lin Langtian had killed.

"Er Niu, you forcibly married a woman and caused havoc in the area. Your evil deeds are numerous, and I do not believe I have done anything wrong by killing you."

As soon as Lin Langtian finished speaking, Er Niu disappeared. In his place appeared a great many people.

These people had no grudges or conflicts with Lin Langtian, nor had they caused any harm to the region. Yet, for various reasons, they were killed by Lin Langtian.

"This is a world where the strong prey on the weak. Even if you are not heinous villains, I must kill you for opportunities, for benefits, and for survival. I have never regretted killing you. Even if I had to do it all over again, I would still do the same."

In this strange space, every time a person appeared, Lin Langtian's heart would be tormented. After a long time, Lin Langtian overcame these inner demons one by one.

In Ye Feng's courtyard, Lin Qingtan stood beside Ye Feng. Lin Qingtan couldn't see what was happening to the people in front of her.

The misty space wasn't large, only a short two-meter distance. They could easily escape the misty area by taking three quick steps. However, Lin Langtian, Ling Qingzhu, Ying Huanhuan, and the others all stared blankly, as if they had been frozen in place, completely immobile.

The only fluctuation was the occasional glimpse of some emotion on their faces.

"What happened to them?" Lin Qingtan asked Ye Feng curiously.

Ye Feng never revealed the content of the third test. Lin Qingtan was curious about what those people were going through, remaining motionless.

"Inner demons," Ye Feng replied.

"Inner demons?"

"Yes, the birth of a strong person requires the heart of a strong person. The membrane I set up is no ordinary thing. Entering it allows the dark side of a person's heart to be amplified without limit, making them relive what they have experienced before."

"Then... can we see what they're going through?" Lin Qingtan asked curiously.

"Who do you want to see?" Ye Feng asked.

"Let's... let's choose Ling Qingzhu. Of all the people here, besides Lin Langtian, she's the only one we've crossed paths with." Lin Qingtan's gaze fell on Ling Qingzhu, who was also a woman.

"Good."

Ye Feng also wanted to see Ling Qingzhu's little secret.

Ye Feng cast a hand seal, and a beam of light shot into Ling Qingzhu's mind. Then, the light flowed out of Ling Qingzhu's mind, forming an image.

"That's... Ancient Tomb Mansion?"

Lin Qingtan was taken aback.

A Stone Hall appears in the scene. Inside the Stone Hall is a Stone Coffin. In addition, some scenes depicting the tomb's occupant during their lifetime are left on the surrounding walls.

Ling Qingzhu entered the Stone Hall without examining the exquisite patterns. After confirming there were no traps, she went to the Stone Coffin. Just as she opened Stone Coffin, Ye Feng, Lin Qingtan, and Lin Dong entered the Stone Hall. Immediately afterward, Wang Yan, Qin Shi, Lin Langtian, and others emerged from the sea of fire and entered the main Stone Hall of the Nirvana Realm experts.

"I?"

Lin Qingtan was stunned. She had actually appeared in Ling Qingzhu's mind.

When Ling Qingzhu saw someone come in, she hurriedly swallowed the green Nirvana Heart from the Stone Coffin.

The images projected into Ling Qingzhu's mind at this moment were so intense that Lin Qingtan and Ye Feng's breathing quickened and their hearts raced.

"Ah!"

Lin Qingtan let out a scream. She scolded, "Young Master Ye, why is her mind filled with these things?"

"You should ask her that question." Ye Feng was stunned for a moment.

Ye Feng never expected that Ling Qingzhu's inner demons, the thing that Ling Qingzhu Ling Qingzhu about most, was that she hadn't taken the opportunity to become Ye Feng woman in the past.

Or rather, Ling Qingzhu harbored deep regret. Her inner darkness was amplified to an extreme, and she felt no remorse for the person she killed. Her only regret was for the act itself. This caused her to become trapped in the experience of that day, reliving it over and over again.

P. S.: I'm starting a new book next week. Battle Through the Heavens fanfiction. All the worlds share one universe. It's a crossover anime/manga story. I'm sure you'll all be satisfied with the content.

Finally, thank you all for your continued support. I recommend a great book: Spirit Hall *, a story about opposing Tang San.
