If Xu Long succeeds in the retest, it will definitely be very beneficial for Yunluan, and even his reputation within the family will rise.
If Xu Long is truly unworthy of his reputation, then...
Before Yun Xiao could even greet Yunluan when he came out, Yunluan hurriedly sent him a telepathic message asking about Xu Long.
Seeing Yunluan's nervous expression, Yun Xiao knew without asking.
He must have done some underhanded things beforehand to befriend this renowned cultivator Yunmo.
Yun Xiao has always looked up to Master Perfected Yunxiang as a role model. Although he is a member of the family's cultivators, he is somewhat averse to these methods of making friends.
However, how can one avoid these things when one is part of a family?
He would have explained the situation to Yunluan before, but now...
He was first ridden in the face by Xu Long in the fragmented space, and then ignored by Perfected Yunxiang inside the main hall, which made him somewhat annoyed.
At this moment, Yunluan had just met Xu Long when she immediately asked him how he was doing. Wasn't this just rubbing salt in the wound?
A wave of annoyance surged in Yun Xiao's heart, and he glanced sideways at Yunluan.
Yunluan, standing opposite Yun Xiao, looked completely bewildered by his expression.
Do you really need to be so aloof in front of me?
How's it going on your end? How many people have passed?
"Um, I... some disciples were indeed outstanding in this round of auditions, and I couldn't stop them even with my fellow disciples. The disciple who passed through my hands this time is named Yunya!"
Yunluan had not yet heard any news about Xu Long, but when talking about her own experience, she readily admitted to her defeat.
" Yunya?"
Yun Xiao muttered to himself, he had never heard of this title before, it must be the guardian of the Boundless Wilderness.
Seeing Yunluan's calm expression, he realized that he had been trapped in a demonic illusion.
Competitions within this school are commonplace, and winning and losing are commonplace.
Yunluan could accept losing to an Wuming, but was her own mental state so fragile?
In a split second, Yun Xiao almost went astray when faced with the impending arrival of Yunmo.
Seeing that Yunluan was still asking him questions, he finally came to his senses and continued to transmit his voice:
"Just you wait and see, junior brother!"
Looking at Yun Xiao's inscrutable expression, Yunluan felt an urgency in her heart, as if a cat's claws were scratching at her.
However, Yun Xiao did not reveal the result at this moment, and he could not force him to ask. He simply followed Yun Xiao's gaze and looked into the interior of the Deacon Hall.
From within those dozens of tall gates, figures are now emerging one after another.
"The second round of examinations is over! Those cultivators who exited the main hall first, please hand over your jade tokens and disperse!"
Yun Xiao led the cultivators to stand Deacon Hall. The rows of blue robes standing in the correct positions added an extra touch of majesty to the hall.
The gate leads to the fragmented space. Anyone defeated by a member of their group or a disciple of the Deacon Hall will be teleported out of the Deacon Hall.
At this moment, Yun Xiao's words would determine the winner or loser of the selection process.
As one figure after another emerged from the gate, Yunluan's expression grew increasingly anxious.
He still hadn't found Xu Long in the arena. Had he really been eliminated early by Yun Xiao and Perfected Yunxiang?
Is it possible that the praise from the Perfected Lord Pinglu is unreliable?
Yunluan was getting quite anxious because she had already made friends with Xu Long beforehand and he hadn't shown up yet.
Yunluan looked tense Deacon Hall; he didn't even pay attention to the twenty people who had come out of the second round of examinations.
However, at this moment, a powerful aura suddenly surged up inside the Deacon Hall, as Perfected Yunxiang inside the hall released his own aura.
Its powerful aura swept in like a mountain, creating a sense of heaviness and solemnity both inside and outside the Deacon Hall.
Sensing that the Palace Master was about to appear, Yunluan's heart trembled.
As if stunned by that aura, they instantly suppressed their own thoughts.
He glanced at Yun Xiao and saw that he was still sitting upright with a serious expression. He forcibly suppressed the restlessness in his heart.
As a group of disciples in blue robes slowly dispersed, a passage was created outside the Deacon Hall.
"The selection of core disciples is fair and impartial, with my personal oversight. It concerns the development of the sect and the future of all disciples, and I dare not show any favoritism in this matter!"
"Today's selection of core disciples has concluded, and the twenty spots for the second round of testing have been decided. The remaining disciples may now check their jade tokens and disperse!"
As a solemn voice emanated from the Deacon Hall, the Yun Xiao Yunluan, who had spread out in formation outside, bowed and saluted, respectfully addressing the golden-roofed hall:
"Only the true person matters!"
When everyone spoke at once, the entire hall trembled, and the rows of disciples in blue robes all bowed towards the hall.
As a powerful aura swept out, the sense of urgency in everyone's hearts reached its peak.
The dozens of gates were wide open, and a solemn-faced middle-aged monk walked out from the center.
With each step he took, a Mystic Immortal cultivator from the Deacon Hall stood up and announced the names of the cultivators who had passed the second round of testing.
The Deacon Hall was completely silent today, except for the sound of footsteps.
As Yunxiang emerged from the shadows of the main hall, rows of disciples in blue robes lined up outside.
After chanting one Daoist name after another, the figure inside the huge gate finally appeared.
"... The nineteenth, Yunya cultivator!"
Yunluan, who was standing outside the arena, suddenly stood up and gave a slight bow to the gloomy figure.
Looking at the scene outside the Deacon Hall, Yunya smiled somewhat frivolously.
After glancing at Yunluan, he also focused his gaze on the last gate tower.
At this moment, only Yun Xiao and his group were still waiting outside the arena, crouching low.
All the cultivators focused their attention on the last gate, and the focus of everyone's attention was about to shift in the next moment.
despair!
Perfected Yunxiang took the final step, his tall figure standing still Deacon Hall.
His sharp, piercing gaze swept across the entire room, taking in everyone's eyes before returning to the last gatehouse.
A powerful and solemn voice then resounded:
"The twentieth... Cultivator Yunmo!"
color!
It would be a lie to say that Yunluan wasn't anxious when Perfected Yunxiang announced Yunmo's name.
Upon hearing the name Yunmo, Yunluan felt an inexplicable surge of joy.
For some reason, although it was only the first time he had met Xu Long, he was genuinely excited at this moment.
I almost couldn't help but shout out in the crowd, barely suppressing the joy in my heart.
He pulled out a jade token from his sleeve, and a message was instantly sent out.
At this moment, no one paid attention to his reaction; instead, they all stared with the same curiosity at the blurry figure inside the last Daoist Sect.
Yun Xiao slowly straightened up, and when he saw a cultivator opposite him nod slightly, a complex expression appeared on his face.
" Yunmo! I've met you in person!"
Xu Long's upright figure gradually became clearer in the arena, and he couldn't help but look around the entire place after he appeared.
