Mysterious mirror hanging high

"It's really the Cloud and Wind Demons!"

Mu Shan's expression also changed, and he whispered, "These two brothers are well-known robber cultivators in the area around Wushan Market. They specialize in hiding in the outskirts of the nearby Monster Mountain Range and robbing cultivators of their property..."

"Big brother Lin Yun is at the eighth level of Qi training, and little brother Lin Feng is at the sixth level. Both of them are fire cultivators and have rich experience in fighting. Many fellow Taoists and mortal body cultivators in the market have been defeated by these two!"

"We have over thirty cultivators from the market town here. Are we really afraid of those two? We can just fight side by side. Are we still talking about the code of conduct?" Hu Yiming wondered, "Why do Senior Zhao and the other cultivators from the law enforcement team look unhappy?"

Mu Shan lowered his voice again: "Firstly, monks cannot use force in this square. Someone has tried it before and suffered a great loss..."

"Secondly, although these two Tribulation Cultivators are notorious, they are experienced in combat and their combat power is among the best among cultivators of the same level. They can almost certainly light up two orbs. If we want to get out, we have to rely on them."

"Thirdly... these two have always been active in the Wushan Mountains. Since they were captured here, it only means that the entrance to the secret realm hasn't moved towards the market town, but towards the Wushan Mountains!"

"The Wushan Mountains are vast and sparsely populated. Aside from a few scattered cultivators who hunt monsters year-round, and lone cultivators, there's no sign of human life. The entrance to the secret realm is invisible and limited in area. Whether it will be able to attract a few cultivators who meet the combat requirements remains to be seen."

Seeing so many cultivators in the square, the two evil spirits Yunfeng were startled and turned around to go back, but they heard Zhao Yunlong shout:

"You two stay!"

"Zhao Laogui, what do you have to say?"

Zhao Yunlong was a cultivator in the law enforcement team, and he had amazing combat power. His reputation among the robbery cultivators in the area around Wushan Market was well-known. The Yunfeng Twin Demons naturally recognized him. At this time, the eldest brother Lin Yun was holding a red copper ring magic weapon in his hand and asked from a distance.

Zhao Yunlong said with a cold expression, "Do you see those twelve jade beads on the metal door over there? Only when all twelve jade beads light up can this cultivator be sent out of the secret realm. Otherwise, they will be trapped here and die."

"Old Ghost Zhao, how do you know you're not trying to trick us two brothers?" Lin Feng, the younger brother, shrieked, "Brother, there are too many enemies here. We might as well take cover for a while..."

"Where can we go to avoid the sharp edge? That corridor is one-way. Now that we have walked out, there is no way back." Lin Yun glanced at the entrance and cursed inwardly: "Let's listen to what this old ghost has to say."

"Old Ghost Zhao, what does this secret realm say?"

Zhao Yunlong snorted, "Didn't you pass the entry test to get here? The advanced test is inside the statue's belly. Only one person can enter at a time. The test consists of several levels, each involving battles against puppets of different realms. There are rewards at the end of each level. A cultivator who passes at least one level can light up a jade bead."

Lin Yun and Lin Feng were both robbery cultivators. Although their main occupation was robbery, they had actually explored many secret realms. Lin Yun's eyes rolled, and he knew that what Zhao Yunlong said was basically right: "Hey, there are dozens of cultivators here, and you can't even find twelve who can pass the first level?"

"In the advancement test, the puppet's strength depends solely on the cultivator's Qi training realm. The puppet at the first level is already one level higher than the original cultivator. Most of the fellow cultivators here are spiritual plant cultivators who are not good at fighting. It's no wonder they can't make it."

Mu Shan couldn't stand it and retorted sarcastically, "You two are notorious figures in the Jie Xiu circle. Fighting is your bread and butter. Don't let yourself be embarrassed by failing to even pass the first level."

"What a sharp-tongued person!" Lin Yun glanced at Mu Shan calmly and sneered, "It's just that I haven't seen you before. You're nothing more than another coward who has been hiding in Wushan Market for decades!"

Mu Shan cursed, "I'm a legitimate deacon registered at the Xiaoyao League headquarters, and these two rats who steal food from the gutter think they can cheat me!"

Lin Feng cursed loudly, "Fuck you, you coward! If you dare to leave the market, I'll chop off your penis head with a knife and make your wife a widow!"

"All right!"

Zhao Yunlong's hair and beard stood on end as he shouted angrily, "Are you two here to quarrel? If you wish to test me, feel free to do so. We will not stop you. If you sense a conspiracy here, feel free to return to where you came from!"

Lin Yun narrowed his eyes and scanned the faces of dozens of cultivators for a long time before he said, "Old Ghost Zhao, you're not trying to find a reason to separate us two brothers and then defeat us one by one, are you?"

"Don't say cultivators are forbidden from engaging in violence here," Zhao Yunlong sneered. "If our market cultivators really wanted to harm you two, why would they bother defeating you one by one? If dozens of cultivators attacked shoulder to shoulder, each casting a spell, how many could you, the Yunfeng Twin Devils, withstand?"

Lin Yun chuckled grimly, turned to Lin Feng and said, "Just stand here and don't move... I'll be back soon."

"Brother, why don't I go and explore the way first?" Lin Feng's expression changed.

"No need."

Lin Yun smiled confidently. He tightly grasped the red copper ring magic weapon in his hand, and according to Zhao Yunlong's instructions, he transferred the magic power into the statue and entered the interior.

After about half an hour, Lin Yun walked out calmly. At the same time, the ninth jade bead suddenly lit up.

Mu Shan narrowed his eyes and said with a look of fear, "This Lin Yun is really quite capable. He passed the first level without showing any injuries at all. I wonder if he concealed it well, or if he wasn't injured at all?"

"After all, he is a Tribulation Cultivator with rich experience in fighting. It is not difficult for him to defeat a dull puppet whose cultivation level is only one level higher than his." Jing Yu whispered.

Zhao Yunlong's eyes flickered. "Master Lin, your methods are so good... I wonder how many levels you've passed?"

Lin Yun said calmly, "Just one level...How many levels are there in this advancement test?"

"I don't know. The highest level here is that someone has only seen the puppet at the third level. Are there any more levels beyond that? No one has cleared them yet..."

Lin Feng came forward and asked, "Brother?"

Lin Yun whispered a few words to his brother, patted his shoulder, handed the ring magic weapon in his hand to Lin Feng, and then Lin Feng also entered the belly of the statue.

After another half hour, Lin Feng came out a little embarrassed, but not injured. At this time, the tenth jade bead also lit up.

"Brother, the puppet in the second level is too strong. Even using the [Fire Sun Ring] won't stop it..." Lin Feng handed the ring back to Lin Yun and complained, "I withstood a few moves in the puppet's hands, but when I saw something wasn't right, I pinched the jade talisman."

"Forget it, it's good enough to get the reward for the first level." Lin Yun glanced at the monks in the market again, then pulled Lin Feng without saying a word, chose a corner on the edge of the square, and began to practice with his eyes closed.

Now ten of the twelve jade beads have been lit. As long as two more are lit, they will be teleported out of the secret realm. However, what all the cultivators did not expect was that after another six hours, no cultivator entered the secret realm!
