PFC Chapter 48 Qingyun Sect Trial
Chapter 48 Qingyun Sect Trial
"Brother, do you think we can pass the test of the Qingyun Sect this time?"
"I don't know either. You know, it would be so nice for us to live a comfortable life at home, but my dad insists on making us participate in some sect trial."
"Exactly, exactly, I think so too."
At this moment, a group of people were traveling on the official road, and two figures were talking to each other, one fat and one thin.
"Hey? Big brother, look!"
"There's someone waving and blocking the way ahead!" the skinny man said to the fat man.
The fat man looked closely and said, "It really is!"
"Do you think they might be planning to rob us?"
The skinny guy said, bewildered, "Brother! There are so many of us, are we afraid of just one person?"
The fat man, feigning composure, said, "I think so too!"
"Everyone stop! Be on guard!"
"Act according to my instructions!"
Instantly, the entire team stopped and assumed a vigilant stance.
The figure ahead grinned at them after seeing that the group had actually stopped!
The fat man pointed at the man and couldn't help but say to the skinny man, "Second brother! Do you think he might be an idiot?"
The skinny guy said, "I think so too!"
The fat man instantly understood and shouted at the man, "Hey you, the one grinning like an idiot, what are you doing here!"
"Yes, stop looking, I'm talking to you!"
Lin Que looked completely bewildered. After looking left and right, he pointed to himself, meaning...
You're saying the person smiling foolishly is me?
The fat man pretended to be fierce and said, "Confess quickly, why are you blocking our way?"
Lin Que stepped forward, clasped his hands in greeting, and asked, "Fellow Daoists, are you heading towards the Blazing Sun Imperial City?"
Upon hearing this, the fat man was shocked and asked, "How did you know we were going to the capital?"
"Did you find out our whereabouts from somewhere and deliberately lie in ambush here?"
The skinny man nodded repeatedly and said, "That's right, that's right, I think so too!"
Hearing what these two said, Lin Que was speechless. This entire official road led to the Lieyang Imperial City, and he just wanted to hitch a ride.
For a full two weeks, Lin Que couldn't hitch a ride on the official road even once, and finally managed to stop this group.
I had tried to hitchhike several times before, but no group was willing to stop.
I wonder what they're rushing off to do.
Lin Que stepped forward, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Fellow Daoists, it's like this, I'm also going to the Imperial City."
"But unfortunately, there is no transportation and the journey is long. May I ask if you could give me a ride?"
“I can offer my fellow Daoists a reward.”
The fat man suddenly realized: "So he's a wandering cultivator. What do you think, second brother?"
The skinny man looked Lin Que up and down for a while, then said to the fat man, "Let him come with us. My mother taught us to help others and do good deeds."
"Anyway, there are so many of us, what's there to be afraid of?"
The fat man nodded and said, "I think so too!"
Then he said to Lin Que, "Then come over here!"
"You can come with us."
Lin Que was overjoyed and said, "Thank you very much, fellow Daoist!"
Finally, I got a ride. Who knows how Lin Que spent the last two weeks?
Subsequently, a horse was arranged for Lin Que to ride.
Lin Que then said to the fat man and the thin man, "My name is Lin Que. May I ask your names, fellow Daoists?"
The fat man said generously, "My name is Liu Dezhu!"
The skinny man confidently declared, "My name is Liu Buzhu!"
"Ahem! Hearing your names, you two fellow Daoists are indeed quite handsome..."
Lin Que was at a loss for words.
Liu Dezhu said, "That's right! When my father named us, he said that we would definitely achieve great things in the future!"
Liu Buzhu chimed in, "I think so too!"
Lin Que asked curiously, "What brings you two to the capital?"
Liu Dezhu exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Lin, you didn't know?"
Lin Que widened his eyes and said, "Um...should I know?"
Liu Buzhu continued, "That's right, the Qingyun Sect will be holding a disciple recruitment trial in the capital city next month."
"Many people are heading towards the Qingyun Sect, and so are we."
"The difference is that we were forced to participate by my dad."
After hearing this, Lin Que said, "I see. The Qingyun Sect must have a high status in the cultivation world, right?"
No wonder Lin Que said he hadn't been able to hitch a ride even once in the past two weeks. It turns out everyone was heading to the Qingyun Sect and had no time to pay attention to Lin Que.
Liu Dezhu said, "We don't know either. My father said that the Qingyun Sect is no worse than the eight great families."
Lin Que nodded thoughtfully, wondering if he should also participate in the trial. He didn't have any plans at the moment, and joining a sect seemed like a good idea.
With this thought in mind, he asked Liu Dezhu and the other man, "What are the conditions for participating in the Qingyun Sect's trial? Do you two know?"
Liu Dezhu said, "My father seems to have said that to participate in the Qingyun Sect's disciple recruitment trial, one must be at least at the Innate Realm."
"The highest level cannot exceed the Sea of Destiny Realm."
Upon hearing this, Lin Que roughly had an idea in his mind. He was currently at the Great Perfection of the Qi Gathering stage, and he only needed an opportunity to break through to the Innate stage.
Lin Que said gratefully, "Thank you for letting me know!"
Liu Dezhu asked curiously, "Brother Lin, are you also planning to participate?"
Lin nodded and said, "I do have that idea, since we don't have anywhere to go right now."
Liu Dezhu and his companion said with slight delight, "That's great, now we can have company."
The group got to know each other during their conversation, and Lin Que learned that the two had been forced by their families to participate in the trial. In fact, they didn't want to come at all, but they couldn't disobey their fathers.
Apart from the two brothers, the rest of the team consisted of guards from their home.
They were to be escorted to the capital and then return.
For the next few days, Lin Que meditated and cultivated on horseback, preparing to break through to the Innate Realm, but unfortunately, he was just one opportunity away from succeeding.
"what?!"
"Brother! Brother Lin! Something's wrong up ahead!"
"Something's really not right!"
Just as they were walking normally, Liu Buzhu's voice rang out.
Lin Que stopped cultivating, opened his eyes, and saw a fiery red scene ahead, where two groups of people were fighting.
"Hehe! We've struck it rich! This team is rolling in money!"
"Truly worthy of being a team participating in the trials, hehe!"
"Look, there's another beauty here! She's perfect material for a furnace!"
"You bunch of evil and heretical sects! I'll fight you to the death!"
"Miss, you must leave quickly!"
"Waaaaah! Uncle Zhang, don't leave me!"
The sounds of battle drifted over from afar; it turned out to be a group of demonic and evil sects burning, killing, and looting here.
Liu Dezhu shouted loudly to his troops, "Stop! Prepare for battle!"
Lin Que also drew his longsword from his back and became alert.
At this moment, one of the groups fighting in the distance seemed to have spotted Lin Que's group. An old man quickly ran towards them, carrying a young girl in his arms.
Just as they were about to reach Lin Que and the others, a flash of light swept across and struck the old man heavily on the back.
The old man instantly coughed up blood and staggered as he placed the girl in front of Lin Que and the others.
He pleaded, "Please...please, save...save my...little...young lady."
After saying that, he collapsed to the ground unconscious, blood gushing from his body and staining the ground red. The girl stared blankly at the old man's corpse.
Tears streamed down my face uncontrollably.
"Hehe! Another group of fat sheep has arrived!"
"Everyone, come and greet our guests!"
The sorcerer who had killed the old man shouted happily behind him.
