Looking at An Le's leaving figure, Ji Zimo was slightly startled.

He originally thought that after obtaining the jade tripod fragments, the other party would start to deal with him.

Unexpectedly, Anle left so neatly, as if...saving his life was really just a matter of convenience?

Ji Zimo opened his mouth with complicated eyes.

"Next time we meet, I won't let you ignore me..."

To be honest, he has always considered himself to be the top talent among the younger generation.

But after seeing the strength of the Ghost-faced Man, Ji Zimo had to admit that he was much better than him.

While he was a little unwilling, he felt a strong desire to win.

Moreover, this is the first time Ji Zimo has received kindness from strangers since she was so old.

This first time was deeply engraved in his mind and made him unforgettable.

****

Not long after.

The monks and casual cultivators from various sects finally arrived here after finally solving various crises along the way, only to see a huge charred corpse engulfed in flames.

They will inevitably feel frustrated.

"Damn it, it's still a step too late!"

Someone sighed softly.

"As expected of a ghost-faced man..."

****

Same day.

It's almost noon.

Zhang Lang and Jiang Yulan arrived at the gate of a town early, waiting quietly for An Le to arrive.

After what happened at that dinner party, both of them were convinced of Anle.

We also discussed a plan to act together.

Without revealing the identity of the Ghost Faced Man, Anle's strength is not too strong, and he can only be ranked above average among the foundation builders participating in the trial.

Two more companions are better than two more enemies.

"Brother Lu is really slow. Could it be that...we have encountered some enemies?"

Seeing that Anle had not arrived for a long time, Zhang Lang frowned worriedly.

Jiang Yulan looked relaxed: "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Lu is not an ordinary person. He is very powerful. Even the puppet Taoist can't do anything to him. How can ordinary people dare to cause trouble for him?"

"That's true."

"It's a pity that the old beast escaped."

Zhang Lang sighed, feeling a little unhappy.

At this time, a plain-looking casual cultivator spoke next to him.

"The Fellow Daoist Lu you are talking about is the jade-faced scholar Lu Bin?"

"Exactly."

The casual cultivator smiled contemptuously and said disdainfully.

"Oh, I think he is just a man who fishes for fame and fortune."

"It's just good luck and having the means to restrain others."

This person also participated in last night's banquet.

But his attitude towards the jade-faced scholar is completely different.

Afterwards, many people came back to their senses and found that the disintegration of the human puppet was very strange. Coupled with some jealousy, this theory spread.

What's more, there are rumors that Lu Bin and the puppet Taoist are a group, and this is a big drama directed and performed by himself.

Zhang Lang was so angry that his eyebrows stood up.

"you!"

Just as he was about to retort, another monk passing by came over and asked with narrowed eyes.

“May I ask if it’s fellow Daoist Zhang Lang and Zhang?”

"……Who are you?"

This man was wearing a valuable robe, with a good temperament and a gentle attitude.

"I am Pang Yuan, a guest from Jiugongyuan. We met last night."

Jiugongyuan?

The expression of the former casual cultivator changed slightly.

This is also one of the famous top sects nearby, and its overall strength is similar to that of Yuntian Sect.

He has always dreamed of joining this kind of sect.

But soon, he heard Pang Yuan chuckle.

"I came here this time just to find out where Daoist fellow Taoist Lu Bin lives so that I can visit him someday."

This is an obvious intention to make friends and solicit.

Monks like the Jade-Faced Scholar, who have a certain level of strength but are not as good as the first echelon, are all within the scope of inspection by various sects.

How come the casual cultivators can’t understand?

His expression became quite ugly, his face turned red, and he immediately walked away.

After some conversation.

Pang Yuan squinted his eyes and said mysteriously.

"Oh, by the way, the Taoist Puppet's body has been found. It seems...it was the Ghost-faced Man who took action."

"Ghostfaced Man!"

Both of them were shocked.

This morning, they heard the news that the Ghost-Faced Man had captured the second Jade Cauldron fragment.

He also fought against the demon cultivator and slayed the dragon alone.

Although they are all uncertain rumors, they have also brought the prestige of the Ghost-Faced Man to another peak.

Jiang Yulan's eyes were full of longing and she sighed: "That kind of character is too far away from us."

After a few more words of conversation, Pang Yuan said goodbye and left.

A few minutes later.

An Le arrived belatedly and said slightly apologetically.

"Awaited."

After leaving the underground river, he took the time to study the "Heavenly Puppet and Earthly Puppet Sutra" and almost missed the agreed time.

"It's okay, we just arrived, just now..."

Zhang Langgang informed Anle about Pang Yuan.

when----

Suddenly, a bell rang in the sky.

The ancient and mysterious rhythm spreads, and the jade-colored spiritual light surges.

A huge scroll slowly unfolded on the sky.

The scroll is empty, with only five golden names written on the top, and there is a number after each name.

The monks on the ground immediately woke up.

"This is the list of those who have obtained the jade piece!"

They were excited and quickly looked at the name at the top of the list.

[First place, Yun Tianzong Yun Wuhen·5]

Everyone was shocked when they saw this number.

The trial has only begun for half a day.

Most of the monks have not even seen the fragments of the jade tripod, but this person has actually collected five pieces?

What is this concept?

Many locals in Yuntian Territory were not surprised, and seemed to take it as a matter of course.
