Chapter 45

White-Haired Immortal Mo Qixuan hurried forward and blocked Yue Yao.

The guard said, "Wu Zuo Shi, could it be that you still intend to harm the Young Lady?!"

Zhuge Wucheng let out a scoff.

"Harm her?"

"I merely want the Young Lady to fulfill the role she is meant to play."

At once, a Mysterious Gate Hidden Weapon shot toward White-Haired Immortal Mo Qixuan.

The attack was vicious.

He showed no restraint whatsoever!

Mo Qixuan fought desperately to block it, but he still could not withstand the attack.

He was immediately knocked to the ground.

Then, Wu Zuo Shi unleashed the Blood Demon Art and charged straight toward Yue Yao!

But just then.

A silver light flashed, like a meteor streaking down. Zhuge Wucheng was instantly struck back by the flowing light, unable to control his body as he staggered backward again and again!

"If you want to find me, just come to the Academy."

"Are you afraid I'll bring people to gang up on you, or do you think you can't beat me?"

The silver light curved back and fell into the hands of the Blue-Robed Youth on the rooftop.

He descended gracefully.

Shaking his head with a smile, he said, "Using a weak woman is indeed very much in keeping with the style of Beyond Heaven."

"But I can't stand by and watch."

"Besides, the woman you threatened is the one I care about most!"

Yue Yao looked at Jiang Mu Ming, who had suddenly appeared.

Her heart warmed despite herself.

Across from them, Zhuge Wucheng glanced at the wound the sword had just carved across his hand.

A trace of wariness flashed in his eyes.

He looked toward the newcomer. It was Jiang Mu Ming, the very person he had wanted to take back to Beyond Heaven!

"You actually dared to show yourself!"

Zhuge Wucheng had never expected that in just a few short months, his opponent could go from a frail scholar

to a master of the Carefree Heaven Realm.

Although his opponent had been concealed in the shadows when he struck just now, that sword was still certainly not something an ordinary Carefree Heaven Realm expert could produce!

"White-Haired Immortal, Purple-Robed Marquis, are you not coming to help?!"

"Could it be that you intend to betray Beyond Heaven as well?!"

Mo Qixuan and Zi Yuji exchanged a glance, then had no choice but to stand beside Zhuge Wucheng.

They drew their swords and faced Jiang Mu Ming.

"Second Mister?" Yan Feifei and Song YanHui also came over.

They said, "Second Mister, we have come to help you drive back the enemy!"

But Jiang Mu Ming merely waved his hand.

He signaled for the two of them to stand down.

"Yue Yao, stand a little farther away as well. It's not that I'm afraid of hurting you. More importantly, I'm worried blood might splash onto you."

Jiang Mu Ming spoke with a smile.

Yue Yao looked at Jiang Mu Ming worriedly and whispered, "The person opposite us is Wu Zuo Shi of Beyond Heaven."

"Since you came, why didn't you bring more people?"

As long as the Eight Princes of Northern Li arrived, even Wu Zuo Shi would not dare act recklessly in Tian Qi City.

Across from them,

Zhuge Wucheng roared furiously, "I'm afraid you're the one who'll be bleeding tonight!"

Then, he activated the Mysterious Gate Formation technique.

Everything around them seemed to shift and change. Time and space both appeared to be entirely under his opponent's control!

Behind him, a Blood Demon Dharma Aspect emerged!

"You think your disguise is flawless, but you don't realize that I saw through you back at the very first stage."

"Do you know why I allowed you to live until now?"

Jiang Mu Ming slowly stepped forward.

Facing the Mysterious Gate Formation technique and Zhuge Wucheng's Blood Demon Art, he showed no fear.

He remained calm and unruffled.

"You knew it was me all along?!"

Zhuge Wucheng's brows immediately knitted together. "Hmph, then you're courting death!"

Silver light flowed.

The long sword moved on its own without any wind, flying rapidly around Jiang Mu Ming.

It left streaks of silver light in its wake.

Jiang Mu Ming drew closer step by step.

He remained as composed as ever.

""That's because you're nothing before me."

"If I want to take your life, it will happen with a single thought."

"You think you're an outsider to this game."

"But you never imagined that you are actually one of the links in this Great Examination."

Tian Qi City, Black Tortoise Tower.

Baili Dongjun, Ye Dingzhi, and the others had once again drawn the brocade pouch containing "Do You Not See Zhenwu Descends."

After analyzing it, they came to the top of Black Tortoise Tower.

They encountered the Double-Pupiled Daoist and engaged in an intense battle. Only by working together had they finally passed the trial.

Only then did they come to their senses: relying on a single clue alone was meaningless.

They had to piece the clues together before they could find the final answer.

But just as everyone was discussing matters and treating their injuries,

a figure cloaked in black robes emerged from a dark alley.
