"Brother Wu Heng, what should we do?" Lan Xin asked as well.

Li Lan glanced at the bull-headed demon, seemingly lost in thought.

The bull-headed demon waved his hand, and immediately more than a dozen of his henchmen rushed out from all directions, each wielding a knife, and surrounded the four of them.

"Do not kill me!"

Soong Tse-ven immediately urinated, knelt down, and begged for mercy.

"You little brats, are you going to the Ascension Ceremony or not?!"

The minotaur glanced at Song Ziwen with disdain and asked in a cold voice, "The Immortal Families and the Eternal Royal Clan are enemies of the world. You bunch of bastards, going to participate in the Ascension Conference is tantamount to treason. Do you want to die?"

"I'm giving you a chance: either die now, or join us and become demons!"

His long sword was pointed at the four men!

Without hesitation, Song Ziwen replied, "I...I answer..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Lan suddenly kicked him away, sending him sprawling face-first to the ground. Li Lan then said:

"We are irreconcilable enemies with demons, so make your move!"

Wang Daniu and Lan Xin were so frightened that they were completely at a loss and didn't know what to do. They couldn't utter a single word.

"Kid, are you really not afraid of death?"

The bull-headed demon's blade was already close to Li Lan's neck.

"What is there to fear in death? It's better than becoming a monster that's neither human nor ghost."

There seemed to be no fear in Li Lan's eyes. He calmly said, "My family all died in the demonic calamity, leaving only me. I have a deep-seated hatred for you. If you have the guts, kill me too!"

His words were as firm as iron.

"Very well, he's not afraid of death, and neither are you?" The bull-headed demon's blade swung over Li Lan's head, pointing at Wang Daniu and Lan Xin.

Lan Xin watched Li Lan's retreating figure, biting her lower lip without uttering a word. Wang Daniu, his blood boiling, said, "We came here together, of course we'll live and die together!"

Song Ziwen, lying on the ground, was trembling with fear and couldn't utter a single word.

"not bad."

But the bull-headed demon suddenly said something and then waved his hand: "These four have passed the test. This person performed the best. Make a record of him and send him to his family."

Immediately, two of his men walked over and asked, "What's your name?"

Li Lan said, "Wu Heng."

"Very good, you lot, come with us!"

Li Lan calmly followed, while Wang Daniu, Lan Xin, and Song Ziwen were all completely bewildered, not knowing what was going on.

"Are we going to be captured and taken to the Demon Village?" Wang Daniu asked, still confused.

Before long, they entered Donglin City, where a huge mansion appeared before them: Zimu.

"How did we end up in the Purple Wood Clan's territory?" Wang Daniu asked, completely bewildered.

"you're so dumb!"

At this moment, Song Ziwen had also come to his senses and finally returned to normal. With a complicated expression, he said, "What happened just now was just a test!"

"The demons at that mountain pass are all from the Zimu family. They disguised themselves as demons to test the steadfastness of our Daoist resolve..."

"Thankfully, we made it through."

Upon hearing this, Wang Daniu finally realized what was happening and exclaimed, "This is...too dangerous!"

At the same time, he turned to look at Li Lan and said, "Brother Wu Heng, thanks to you!"

Lan Xin's beautiful eyes were also filled with complex emotions, and a hint of admiration had already appeared in her gaze.

They were led inside, where they saw that there were already quite a few teenagers.

These teenagers were all dressed in fine clothes, which showed that they came from well-off families, except for Li Lan and his three companions, who were the most ordinary-looking!

"Huh, these four country bumpkins actually passed the test?"

"Four fearless souls."

"Even if they pass the test, so what? These people from remote and impoverished areas definitely won't be able to compete with us in the later stages of the assessment!"

The group of teenagers all mocked them.

"You four, wait here. In one hour, we will begin the next test—"

An official approached and looked at Li Lan, saying, "Wu Heng, right? In the first round of testing, you ranked first in character!"

"Do your best in the future!"

He looked at Li Lan with considerable approval.
