The Venerable One disliked crowds and noise, and besides, he knew that Fengxi and the others had to rush back to the Shadow Guard Camp, so after giving the jade slip to Fengxi, he served tea and saw them off.

After Fengxi and the others left, the Venerable Killer was lost in thought for a moment, then looked relieved.

After being betrayed by his teammate, he felt resentment towards his teammate and regret for his own stupidity.

If he weren't foolish, why would he so easily trust others?

If he weren't so stupid, how could he have been tricked so badly?!

I thought I'd never be able to get over the betrayal by my teammates, but I never expected to let it go so easily now.

Perhaps time heals wounds, or perhaps the regrets of the past have been resolved in another way.

In the blink of an eye, his cultivation, which had not improved for many years, began to falter...

Fengxi and Junwen waited for a full hour in the small square outside Daoxuan Hall before Venerable Fang finally emerged, leaping out in a series of bounds.

His emotional value was greatly satisfied, and all the obvious and subtle losses he had suffered at Liu Yiyi's hands became powerful proof of his effective teaching!

If it weren't for the fear of Commander Wan's wrath, he would have loved to stay at Daoxuan Hall for one night!

Upon seeing Fengxi and the others, Venerable Fang resumed his usual demeanor.

The group boarded Fengxi's exclusive ferry cloud, left Chengdao Hall, and returned to the Shadow Guard Camp.

As luck would have it, their ferry cloud had just landed when they encountered Dark Five returning from the Bone Swamp.

Although he had cleaned up the mud, his hair, which had been electrocuted into curly strands, and his deathly pale face were enough to show how miserable he was!

When An Wuyi saw Feng Xi, his eyes turned red!

"Liu Yiyi, prepare to die!"

As he spoke, he reached out to grab Fengxi, clearly he was furious to the extreme, and even summoning his spirit sword felt like a waste of time.

While dodging, Fengxi shouted, "Venerable Fang, save me!"

Venerable Fang had no choice but to bite the bullet and stop An Wu.

"Commander of Dark Five, the competition is over. What is the meaning of this?"

Dark Five didn't take Venerable Fang seriously at all, his face contorted with rage as he said, "Get lost! Or I'll kill you too!"

In the past, Venerable Fang might have tolerated it.

But this is the time when they are riding high and their confidence is soaring!

Moreover, An Wu's strength is currently weakened, so if he goes all out, he might not necessarily lose. Therefore, he stiffened his neck and sneered:

"Kill me too? We'll see if you have the guts!"

The two started fighting as soon as they disagreed.

Just as Fengxi was preparing to use underhanded tactics to help Venerable Fang eliminate Anwu, Commander Wan arrived with a dark expression.

"Stop it all!"

His words had an effect; Anwu gritted his teeth and stopped.

Venerable Fang was still somewhat unconvinced. He felt that he must have improved his skills recently, otherwise how could he fight Dark Five so effortlessly?

He's getting better now!

Commander Wan gave An Wu a severe scolding and then ordered his men to lock him in a secret room in the Shadow Guard camp.

They didn't say how long it would be closed, so it probably depends on their mood.

Before An Wu was taken away, the way he looked at Feng Xi was like it was poisoned!

After taking a couple of steps, as if remembering something, he glared fiercely at Shen Zhilan:

"I almost forgot about you, Lan Zhi. How dare you lie to me! You won't escape either!"

Shen Zhilan: "..."

I thought I was out of the picture, but I never expected to be dragged down by that bitch Liu Yiyi!

After Anwu was taken away, Commander Wan said with a gloomy face:

"You performed very well in this underdog victory, but the reason you won was not because you had the strength, but because you used opportunism."

Therefore, this competition did not serve its purpose of training you.

Starting today, you will live, eat, and train with the Wind Guards. Once you've trained enough, I will arrange your next trials.

"Someone, take them to the Wind Department!"

Venerable Fang disagreed, saying, "We agreed that they would come and help with the Shadow Guard assessment, so why were they sent to the Wind Division for training?"

The Shadow Guards' training is insane; isn't this blatant revenge?!

Commander Wan said coldly, "This matter has already been reported to Shadow Lord, and he has spoken with your Palace Master."

The subtext is: shut up!

Upon hearing this, Venerable Fang could not say anything more, and could only signal to Feng Xi and the others to be more careful with his eyes.

Half an hour later, Fengxi and the others were taken to the Wind Department.

In addition to the Ghost Guard's dark forces, the Shadow Guard Camp also has four divisions: Wind, Fire, Thunder, and Lightning, and the four instructors in charge are also named after these four divisions.

The person in charge of the Wind Department was Wind Instructor. He was very excited to learn that Commander Wan had sent five candidates for Alliance Leader and five competing cultivators to the Wind Department for training!

I heard that Ghost Guard and Dark Five both suffered losses at their hands. If he can subdue them completely, wouldn't that prove he's stronger than them?!

Maybe the title of "Dark Five" will belong to him!

It's time to change the top ten shadow guards!

Therefore, as soon as Fengxi and his group arrived at the Wind Division, they were thrown into the Broken Ridge Cave without even seeing Instructor Feng.

The Broken Ridge Cave is meant to break a person's pride.

Shadow guards must be absolutely obedient, so they naturally cannot have any pride.

The cave was pitch black, and eerie, chilling voices echoed from all around:

"From now on, forget your original names; here you will only have code names."

We were originally supposed to name you, but considering that you are from elsewhere, we can give you the right to use your own nicknames.

"Tell me, what do you all want to be called?"

Feng Xi blurted out, "My name is An Yi! Their names are An Er, An San, and so on, up to An Shi!"

An eerie silence descended.

"another!"

"Let's call them Mingyi, Ming'er, and so on up to Mingshi!"

An eerie silence descended upon the surroundings once more.

After a while, the voice finally spoke:

"Alright, from now on you will be Mingyi to Mingshi!"

Remember your names; they will be very helpful in your upcoming trials!

As for when you can get out, that depends on your performance!

As soon as the words were spoken, darkness enveloped the surroundings...
