Chapter 53 - Pursuing Ye Suxin

The trial only lasted half a day.

Soon, half a day passed, and disciples who had killed enough demon beasts in Qingyou Mountain gradually returned to the entrance and reported to the Elder and the Outer Sect Disciples, handing over their tokens, thus completing the trial.

This trial was controlled by Ji Bei.

Each disciple presented their token to him.

After Ji Bei confirmed, the disciples received their Outer Sect statuses.

Those who passed the trial didn’t leave.

Instead, they hung back, waiting for the final result.

They were all somewhat average disciples, lacking the ability to vie for first place, so they were curious about who would get the top spot in the trial.

“Who knows who’ll get first place this time, will it be Ye Suxin, Bai Huatian, Long Yao, Long Ba, or maybe Ye Guxing, or Nanli Dao!”

“It’s hard to say, they’re all powerful.

Anyone who could become the Newcomer King must be very strong!”

“Yeah, but I still think Long Ba has the best shot.

His physical strength is too formidable, even in face-to-face combat with Ye Suxin, I’m not sure she could take him out!”

“Bai Huatian isn’t bad either.”

“All of you stop guessing, the champion of this trial has to be Ye Suxin.”

The warriors who had passed the trial, all gathered, a buzz of discussion spreading among them.

Ji Bei closed his eyes to rest, ignoring the chatter around him.

Off in the distance, a man was coming fast.

“Look, it’s elder brother Xiang Tianyi.”

“Elder brother Xiang Tianyi is already famous in the outer sect, he’s one of the Top Ten Outer Sect Disciples.

Has he come here to attend the ceremony?”

“Elder brother Xiang Tianyi is probably here for Ye Suxin, she has a great background, apparently she’s linked to some high-ranking individual in the Divine Alliance.”

“That’s right, it seems like Ye Suxin really does have some huge connections.”

Many disciples were surprised to see Xiang Tianyi arrive.

When Xiang Tianyi arrived, he first saluted Ji Bei, then stood aside with his hands behind his back, waiting for Ye Suxin to come out.

As they had said, Ye Suxin’s background was too impressive, leaving no room for error.

She was, after all, the fiancée of the Young Sect Master, the love of his life.

If anything happened to her, Xiang Tianyi wouldn’t be able to get off lightly!

“Brother Xiang, so you’re here too.”

Just as Xiang Tianyi arrived, he heard the friendly laughter of a young man.

Turning his head to look, Xiang Tianyi broke into a smile, “Brother Xu, what brings you to Qingyou Mountain.”

“Oh, my good-for-nothing little brother is participating in the re-examination, my father asked me to come and help him.”

This man was none other than Xu Zailong, one of the Top Ten Outer Sect Disciples.

“Xu Shangjie and Xu Rui?

Ha, I know them.

Just a few days ago, they asked me to teach a disciple a lesson for them.

If you hadn’t been closed off, I wouldn’t have needed to get involved.”

Xiang Tianyi smiled.

“About that, I should thank you.

We should go for a drink sometime.”

Xu Zailong chuckled.

All the Top Ten Outer Sect Disciples were warriors of the Divine Alliance.

Therefore, their relationships with one another were pretty good.

Especially this time, Xu Zailong was very grateful to Xiang Tianyi for standing up for Xu Shangjie and Xu Rui.

“Sure, once this trial is over, let’s go for a drink.” Xiang Tianyi also smiled.

“Stop running, you can’t get away!”

In the forest, Lin Bai was nimbly bypassing the trees blocking his way, his eyes fixed on a bloodied figure up ahead, like a hawk stalking its prey.

He thrust his sword forward, shattered all the trees in his path and struck Ye Suxin’s back.

“Pfft!”

Ye Suxin spat out a mouthful of blood, turning her already pale face even paler.

“Lin Bai, I will kill you!”

Ye Suxin spat out, her eyes full of rage.

Whoosh—

She picked up speed, heading straight for the Qingyou Mountain exit.

Lin Bai was a bit annoyed.

This woman’s combat power wasn’t particularly formidable, but her agility was exceptional.

Lin Bai was helpless against her.

“After the trial, I need to acquire a movement skill to practice.

Otherwise, hunting people down will be a huge disadvantage.”

“But I also want an offensive Sword Skill.

The Qixue Sword Skill isn’t meeting my needs anymore.”

These thoughts raced in Lin Bai’s mind.

“Finally out.”

Ye Suxin had gone through half an hour of harrowing escape through the forest.

She finally saw the Qingyou Mountain exit!

“Oh no, she’s getting away!”

Lin Bai knew that if Ye Suxin escaped from there, it wouldn’t be easy to kill her within the Spirit Sword Sect.

With this thought, Lin Bai brandished his sword, which gleamed with the light of the thunderbolt.

He lashed out with a furious blow.

“Thunder God Sword!”

A strong burst of the Thunder God Sword’s light shattered all the trees standing in their way.

It struck hard against Ye Suxin’s back once again, ripping open her beautiful back and revealing her white bones inside!

Splat!

Ye Suxin flew out in front, right out of Qingyou Mountain’s exit.

Ji Bei was standing at the exit of Qingyou Mountain, resting with his eyes closed.

Xiang Tianyi and Xu Zailong were engaged in cheerful conversation.

Just then, they suddenly saw a bloodied figure flying out.

Ji Bei opened his eyes.

Xiang Tianyi and Xu Zailong also stopped talking and watched in surprise.

The figure that landed was covered in blood, especially the savage sword wounds on her back.

Every single one of them was a heart-stopping sight.

“Who is this person?”

“She’s seriously injured.”

“The wounds on her body seem to be from a sword!”

Many warriors saw this figure lying on the ground, barely alive.

This figure tried hard to lift her head, looking towards Ji Bei.

Ji Bei was taken aback, of course he knew who Ye Suxin was.

How could Ji Bei not recognize the fiancée of the Young Sect Master?

Moreover, when Ye Suxin had first come to the Sect, the Young Sect Master had alerted all the elders to take good care of her.

If the Young Sect Master knew about Ye Suxin’s condition, the whole Spirit Sword Sect might feel his wrath.

“Ye Suxin!”

“Miss Ye!”

Xiang Tianyi and Xu Zailong were in shock, they hurriedly flew over and helped Ye Suxin up.

Xiang Tianyi looked anxious, if Ye Suxin died, he would be unable to explain to the Young Sect Master.

After all, the Young Sect Master had asked Xiang Tianyi to protect Ye Suxin.

Xiang Tianyi hurriedly fed Ye Suxin all the precious healing pills from his storage bag.

After taking the elixir pills, Ye Suxin’s face got slightly better.

“Kill him for me, kill him!”

Ye Suxin, who had recovered a bit of strength, glared into Qingyou Mountain and roared.

“Miss Ye, who hurt you!”

Xiang Tianyi asked.

“Lin Bai!” Ye Suxin gritted her teeth and roared.

Xiang Tianyi was startled.

Wasn’t this Lin Bai the same warrior who had stood up for Xu Shangjie and Xu Rui, the one he had an appointment with in three months?

Hearing the name Lin Bai, Ji Bei’s expression also became slightly animated, but he quickly recovered his composure.

Rustle rustle.

At this moment, at the exit of Qingyou Mountain, a man was slowly approaching, stepping on dry leaves.
