I, Tianlaozhen Wangu, support the Empress from behind!

"Well, this half of the jade pendant."

"It feels so weird..."

Chu He took a deep breath and leaped between the treetops, then took out the jade pendant and studied it.

This half of the jade pendant.

When Du Yifeng handed it to him, his expression was very serious.

Chu He naturally had to think more about it. Although he didn't quite believe that Du Yifeng would harm him, he still had to be on guard against others.

After some exploration, Chu He took stock of his findings.

"This half of the jade pendant is made of very hard material. I just exerted my seventh-grade strength to its limit, and it's completely unscathed!"

"Also, I always feel that there is a faint aura in the jade pendant..."

After Chu He practiced the "Turtle Breathing Technique" to the artistic conception, his spiritual perception awakened ahead of time.

You know, this is an ability only possessed by the sixth rank.

"Forget it, I'll keep it for now. Anyway, I'll use this character up this time, and I'll go out with a different face next time..."

Chu He thought about it and put away the half jade pendant indifferently.

"For now, I'll go deeper, kill some demons, and hone my martial arts."

"Besides my poor weapon, my martial arts experience is also not sophisticated enough..."

......

"Master Demon General, something bad has happened..."

"Well?"

"Humans are rushing in, killing every monster they see. It's so scary..."

"Even Captain Niu couldn't last a single blow from him. This human is probably a fifth-grade one!"

A rabbit demon stumbled into the deep cave.

"What? Fifth rank??"

Upon hearing this, the Rabbit Demon General's heart trembled. How could this be possible? He himself was only a sixth-rank cultivator.

It doesn't ask any questions either.

The rabbit demon who came in with his claws to report crawled in through a small hole on the side.

bang——

In the shock of Chuhe.

A few miles away, a giant white rabbit demon that was more than ten feet tall suddenly jumped out, leaped from the ground, and landed on the treetops.

Before Chu He could react, the other party disappeared from his sight in a few flashes.

"Fuck...fuck!"

Chu He almost dropped his teeth in shock!

"Is this a sixth-grade rabbit demon?"

"If they can chase away a sixth-grade demon, then it means a fifth-grade demon is attacking us."

Chu He was terrified when he thought about it carefully.

He was deeply afraid that a fifth-grade demon would suddenly jump out, so he stopped honing his martial arts skills.

Chu He quickly circulated his true energy and performed the "A World Away" light skill, floating away in the opposite direction of the rabbit demon.

In the blink of an eye.

Twelve hours later.

When Chu He returned to the foot of the mountain, a lot of people had gathered on the ground.

It's just that they all have bruises on their bodies to varying degrees.

"It seems that killing demons is not easy..."

Chu He sighed.

last night.

He fled to a cave, but he never imagined that there was an eighth-grade peak corpse demon hiding in the cave.

Chu He naturally took care of it with one move.

But the other people in the field did not have his strength, so it was no wonder that almost half of the people in the field were gone.

"There's only half a quarter of an hour left. Those who haven't made it will be eliminated!"

Ye Yixiao frowned and looked at the noisy crowd in the field.

“Those who didn’t come out, it seems they won’t be able to come out…”

Chu He put the twelve low-level demon tails on it, and the staff gave him a piece of paper with some of his household registration information on it.

There is another number, fifty-eight.

"Haha... Zhou Fenghao, I have ten more eighth-grade demons than you, what else do you have to say?"

Du Yifeng looked at Zhou Fenghao, the second son of Marquis Yingwu, with a smile on his face.

He thought to himself, "This grandson is really insidious. If it weren't for Brother Jiang, I'm afraid I would have lost this time..."

"you…"

Zhou Fenghao wanted to walk away, but when he thought about the oath he had made, he could only take out the Tianxin Jade with a gloomy face.

"I am willing to accept the loss of the bet, and the Tianxin Jade is yours."

Zhou Fenghao threw the Tianxin Jade over with a painful look on his face, but a hint of darkness flashed in his eyes.

"Hmph, I'll leak the news and make sure you die without a burial place..."

Because of the preciousness of Tianxin Jade.

It will definitely attract a large number of desperate criminals to snatch it, and there may even be fifth-grade masters watching covetously.

Du Yifeng had been secretly observing the changes in Zhou Fenghao's expression. Naturally, Zhou Fenghao's facial expression changes could not escape Du Yifeng's sharp eyes.

Du Yifeng also laughed in his heart, "The Tianxin Jade is not for me..."

"With the Heavenly Heart Jade, and given Second Sister's talent, I'm sure she'll become a new fourth-rank master within a year. By then, who would dare to look down on me?"

"hey-hey…"

This matter ended like this.

"cough…"

Seeing that the time was almost up, Ye Yixiao coughed lightly.

In his opinion, those candidates who didn't come forward were basically gone, and he would then arrange for someone to go to their homes to report them missing.

As for causing trouble, they in the Demon Refining Division are really not afraid of people causing trouble!

"I hereby declare..."

"This initial screening is complete. There are 121 participants, and 61 have passed."

"I would like to congratulate you all first. After passing the initial screening, you will all be admitted to the inner prison..."

"Wow—"

"Very good..."

There was a sudden cheer in the field.

Ye Yixiao waited for a moment, then reached out to suppress the howling, and said, "Tomorrow at 3:30 am, there will be a competition on the Inner Prison Martial Arts Arena, and the ten candidates for the Inner Sect will be decided."

"The top three will receive a chance to observe a Heavenly Grade technique, plus other rewards..."

"Tomorrow's competition will be held, and the candidates will be determined by drawing lots with numbers..."

Chu He listened from below, muttering to himself, "Preliminary screening shows nearly half of the casualties. This Elder Sikong is truly cruel. I'll have to be careful when I work under him in the future."

"Also, I'm sticking with my original plan. I'll just get the last two spots and make sure I join the inner sect."

Originally, if Chu He wanted to hide, the position of ordinary jailer would be the most suitable. However, the authority of ordinary jailers was too limited, which was not conducive to his detention of prisoners. He could only show some strength.

"That's all I have to say. Everyone, please disperse. Tomorrow, you must bring your identification to pass through the inner prison gate!"

After Ye Yixiao finished speaking, he turned and left with the inspector behind him.

Seeing this, the rest of the people also turned around and walked down the mountain.

This place is about two hundred miles away from Tianjing City. Their families, servants, protectors and others are waiting at the foot of the mountain.

"Uncle Zhou, I passed."

"Okay!" Zhou Changfeng patted Chu He on the shoulder and said, "Try your best to join the inner sect. The world inside is even bigger."

Chu He nodded and rode back with the others.

The next day.

Chu He asked for leave from Prison Warden Fang early on and entered the inner prison.

A jailer led him to a spacious square where all kinds of weapons were arranged.

There were also many candidates chatting in the field.

In addition, there were some prison guards in dark clothes standing guard at the outer gate.

Chu He found it hard to imagine that this place was actually underground?

When he looked up, it looked like the top of his head.

Above is a deep star dome, with the stars on it emitting little starlight. Under its illumination, the entire square appears bright.

It's definitely underground.

"Brother Chu, doesn't it feel amazing?"

A man's voice came from the side, and Chu He turned around.

"Thank you, brother. You are here too."

This man was none other than Xie Qingfeng from the Xie family.

The two of them reminisced for a while.

A sincere voice came from the martial arts stage.

"The time has come. The first round of competition begins. Candidates who have drawn numbers, please step onto the stage immediately."

Hearing this, Chu He looked at the paper he had just received.

There was only the information about the arena written on it, with no words on it.

"So, I'm the lucky one?"

"Brother Chu, aren't you going up?" Xie Qingfeng's tone was filled with doubt.

"Haha, thank you brother, go first, I'll be later..."

Xie Qingfeng was confused and turned to walk towards his own ring number four.
