Lu Chen withdrew his gaze and felt the scrutiny and greedy gazes from the surroundings.

In Hidden Dragon Trial, high points are not just an honor, but also a coveted "fat".

Su Qingxue also noticed the subtlety of the atmosphere, and his body tensed involuntarily.

She could feel the malice in those eyes, some aimed at Lu Chen, and some glanced at her covertly, with undisguised contempt and covetousness.

"Senior, those people..." Su Qingxue lowered his voice, with a hint of worry in his tone.

She knew very well that in such an occasion, Lu Chen's high points were undoubtedly the biggest tipping point.

Lu Chen had no expression on his face and just patted her shoulder lightly to signal her to calm down.

Several young and handsome warriors and their followers slowly approached the top of the mountain where Lu Chen was located.

The leader is a young man wearing Chinese clothes and holding a folding fan. He has an arrogant look on his face. He is none other than Ye Fan, one of the four great Aristocratic Clans of Nanling Prefecture - the direct descendant of the Ye Family.

Beside him were two masters from the late Meridian Opening realm. Their auras were calm and they followed him like a shadow. They were obviously strong men sent by the Ye Family to protect him.

Seeing this, Su Qingxue said quietly, "Senior, it seems that we were not the only ones to obtain this residual image."

"It's normal. The residual pictures can be circulated in Ghost Market. It's normal for these Aristocratic Clan disciples to know."

Ye Fan's eyes fell directly on Lu Chen's trial token. The conspicuous "3018" points number made a disdainful sneer appear at the corner of his mouth.

"Hey, isn't this Lu Banner Sergeant?" Ye Fan spoke first, his voice was not loud, but his words were clear, with a condescending arrogance, "I have long admired the name Lu Banner Sergeant. Being in the Bone Forging realm, he was promoted to Banner Sergeant in just a few months, and then became a blockbuster in Hidden Dragon Trial, achieving such a high score, it is really... impressive."

He deliberately emphasized the word Bone Forging realm, and tapped the palm of his hand with a folding fan, making a soft "pop" sound, as if to remind all the testers around him how the realm of Lu Chen did not match his points.

The two Ye Family masters behind Ye Fan also glanced at Lu Chen with a scrutinizing and contemptuous gaze, as if they were sizing up a prey that was about to be obtained.

Su Qingxue felt his heart tighten when he heard it. Ye Fan's words seemed to be compliments, but in fact they were hidden in the inside, and every word was heart-breaking.

He not only exposed Lu Chen's humble status in public and hinted that Lu Chen's points came from a wrong source, he was also creating public opinion for his upcoming provocation.

Lu Chen, however, remained expressionless and looked at Ye Fan calmly, as if he was looking at a clown.

Ye Fan Seeing that Lu Chen was unmoved, the disdain in his heart became even greater. He took a step forward, shook his folding fan slightly, and said in an increasingly sinister tone, "It's just that Ye is a little curious, how did Lu Banner Sergeant get these more than three thousand points? Is there some kind of demon deep inside Hundred Demon Cave that specializes in giving away points? Or..."

He turned his eyes and landed on Su Qingxue, with an evil arc at the corner of his mouth. "The beauty next to Lu Banner Sergeant is quite pretty. Could it be that Lu Banner Sergeant relied on the beauty trap to make those monsters show mercy and hand over Demon Core?"

"Ye Fan!" Su Qingxue raised his eyebrows and shouted angrily.

She had never been so humiliated.

"Presumptuous!" Yang Xiong and Wang Teng also came from a short distance with their respective entourages.

Yang Xiong opened his eyes angrily, shook his spear, and shouted, "Ye Fan, what nonsense are you talking about! Lu Banner Sergeant's points were all obtained by him fighting bloody battles from the hands of monsters! How can you allow you to slander me here!"

Although Wang Teng was not as angry as Yang Xiong, his face was also a little ugly.

He knows the strength of Lu Chen and also knows how Lu Chen's points come from.

Ye Fan's words are not only provoking Lu Chen, but also belittling them, the trialists who also fought bloody battles in Hundred Demon Cave.

"Oh? Yang Banner Sergeant?" Ye Fan glanced at Yang Xiong, with a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes, "Your Yang family is the eagle dog of Demon Suppression Division, so naturally you are in cahoots with these wild people who come out of nowhere. But Hidden Dragon Trial can't win by just talking."

He ignored Yang Xiong and locked his eyes on Lu Chen again, his tone full of provocation. "Lu Banner Sergeant, Ye sees that your state is unstable, Qi and Blood is frivolous. You must have overdrawn your potential and forcibly improved it, right? How can you control such a high score in such a frivolous state? Why not... give your points to Ye, and save Ye from getting his hands dirty."

Ye Fan's words completely tore off the pretense and blatantly threatened Lu Chen to hand over his points.

His purpose is not only to win Lu Chen's points, but also to humiliate Lu Chen in public, to demonstrate his power, and at the same time to test Lu Chen's true strength.

The two late Meridian Opening masters behind him also quietly took a step to lock Lu Chen's Qi machine, ready to take action at any time.

Several other teams around them also looked at them one after another, either watching the show or preparing to make a move. In a place like Hundred Demon Cave, killing people and grabbing treasures is commonplace.

Lu Chen This piece of "fat" has undoubtedly become the focus of everyone's eyes.

Lu Chen's face was expressionless and unmoved. He just looked at Ye Fan calmly, without a trace of emotion in his eyes.

The calmer he became, the angrier Ye Fan became, thinking that Lu Chen was looking down on him.

Just when Ye Fan was preparing to launch further attacks, the ruins of Yao Qi in the center of the basin suddenly shook violently. A thick black light beam shot up into the sky and penetrated into the sky, attracting everyone's attention.

After the black light beam dispersed, a huge shadow appeared in the sky above the ruins. It was a ferocious and ancient demon shadow. It was accompanied by a roar that seemed to tear the world apart, making everyone's eardrums ache.

Obviously, the entrance to the demon treasure is about to be opened.
