#136 - Seduction test?
Many people were stunned to see an incredibly handsome crane descending from the sky, carrying a person on its back.
Then, the crowd exchanged glances and stepped forward to salute.
"Greetings, True Person He Ling!"
"No need for formalities."
True Person He Ling nodded faintly, his gaze sweeping over the crowd. When he saw Li Changqing, his already indifferent expression became even more aloof.
Li Changqing also stepped forward and bowed: "Junior Li Changqing greets Ninth Elder!"
"Mm."
True Person He Ling responded blandly, not even sparing him a second glance, his eyes sweeping over the crowd: "Everyone is here, good. Since that's the case, let the assessment begin."
"Yes!"
Li Changqing did not reveal the slightest hint of dissatisfaction, only respectfully retreating a few steps.
Some people saw this scene and their eyes flickered, their thoughts varying.
True Person He Ling flipped his hand and took out a mirror.
This mirror was dark cyan in color, the back covered with mysterious patterns, while the mirror surface was a hazy white. Gu Yuan only glanced at it and felt a faint sense of dizziness.
True Person He Ling did not intend to explain much, reaching out a finger and pointing, the mirror levitated in the air and stood upright.
The mirror surface emitted a bright white light, so dazzling that it seemed to absorb people's souls.
Gu Yuan only felt a blur before his eyes, and when he regained his senses, he was already in a house.
Then, he saw a beautiful woman with a charming appearance and a voluptuous figure, twisting her snake-like waist as she walked towards him.
"Who are you?"
Gu Yuan looked at the woman in front of him, frowning slightly, feeling a sense of familiarity, as if he knew her.
The woman came before Gu Yuan, leaned close to his ear, smiling like a flower, and exhaled orchid-like fragrance:
"My dear husband, how could you forget your concubine… I am your wife."
Yes, she is my wife… Gu Yuan suddenly understood, and the more he looked at the woman before him, the more familiar and affectionate she seemed. A memory related to this woman also appeared in his mind, and he didn't feel anything was wrong.
Moreover, Gu Yuan seemed to have forgotten that he was currently undergoing True Person He Ling's assessment.
But another thought subconsciously arose in his mind—no, this woman is wearing heavy makeup, too flirtatious, not like a respectable woman. Even if I want to find a wife, I shouldn't find this kind…
Besides, no matter how good a woman is, how can she be as refreshing as practicing swordsmanship and cultivation?
"Husband, what are you thinking about?"
Seeing Gu Yuan's silence, the woman stretched out her slender fingers and drew circles on Gu Yuan's chest, her voice bewitching.
"I was thinking, what should I eat tonight…"
Gu Yuan's nose caught a tempting, rich, sweet fragrance… At the same time, a heat vaguely rose in his lower abdomen.
The smile on the woman's face became more enchanting, her eyes watery, the intense spring feeling almost overflowing: "Husband is really joking, how about your concubine heat up some dishes for you?"
Although she was speaking flirtatious words, from an angle Gu Yuan couldn't see, the nails on the woman's other hand rapidly grew like short swords, flashing with a sharp, cold light!
Just as the woman's eyes turned fierce, preparing to rip out Gu Yuan's heart and lungs, the trace of confusion in Gu Yuan's eyes disappeared, replaced by a playful look:
"Is that it? You're actually trying to seduce me?"
He struck first, using his fingers like a sword. With just a raise of his hand and a point, a sword energy flew out, and the woman's head exploded like a watermelon with a "Peng" sound. The headless corpse swayed and fell to the ground.
"Even short videos show more than you, who are you trying to seduce?!"
Gu Yuan secretly complained, recalling that he was undergoing an assessment, and then looked around: "However, where am I now? Is this an illusion? It seems quite real…"
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding environment changed in an instant.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—whoosh whoosh whoosh—
The weather was gloomy, the cold wind howled, stirring up gusts of sand.
Old graves of varying sizes were scattered haphazardly around, and on the ground, some pale skulls and broken coffin boards were scattered everywhere.
A few withered old trees stood beside the old graves, the bark on the branches already peeled off, the bark fluttering in the wind, the branches clawing like ghost claws.
From the grave mounds not far away, came strange "thump thump thump" sounds, as if something was knocking on the coffin boards, occasionally mixed with some strange and shrill unknown bird calls, making people feel cold.
"Mass grave?"
Gu Yuan swept his gaze around, vaguely understanding: "Is this using evil spirits to test my temperament and will…"
As soon as he finished speaking, one of the old graves to his left suddenly collapsed with a bang, dust scattering everywhere.
Immediately afterwards, a "person" crawled out from it.
The clothes on this person's body were tattered, most of the flesh on his body was rotten, and there were several large holes in his chest and abdomen.
Some black and red internal organs flowed out, dragging on the ground, emitting a nauseating stench.
Under the disheveled hair, a pair of green eyes stared fixedly at Gu Yuan, and the rotten, hideous face seemed to be sneering!
Coupled with the gloomy and cold atmosphere around, this scene was enough to scare a timid person to death!
Gu Yuan frowned, took a few steps back, not feeling much fear, but rather a little disgusted.
At the same time, the surrounding graves collapsed one after another.
Figures, whether complete or incomplete, stiff or slow, swift or fierce, drilled out from them and surged towards him in unison.
Even ordinary martial artists would probably feel their hearts pounding and their legs weakening at such a terrifying scene, but Gu Yuan's expression was stern.
Even though he knew that the scene before him was fake, he couldn't find any flaws at all, only feeling that everything before him was incredibly real, and at the same time, extremely dangerous!
A faint sense of crisis lingered in his heart.
Gu Yuan had no sword in his hand, so he simply picked up a straight branch from the ground, using the branch as a sword, and without hesitation, took the initiative to step forward, killing these corrupt corpses, zombies, and other evil spirits!
Chih chih chih!
Although it was a branch, in Gu Yuan's hands it was even more terrifying than those divine weapons.
Under the infusion of true energy, the branch also spat out a sharp three-foot sword light, tearing these disgusting and terrifying evil spirits to pieces, with broken limbs and bodies scattered all over the ground!
Among these corrupt corpses and zombies, there were also a few exceptionally hard bronze-armored corpses, shimmering with dots of bronze light, as well as a few eerie and sinister vengeful ghosts, occasionally emitting sharp ghost howls that made people dizzy and weak.
However, Gu Yuan ignored them all, guarding his mind, the "wooden sword" in his palm revealing its sharp edge, exuding a stern and bone-piercing fierce killing intent!
Under the sway of the sword light, whether it was an invulnerable bronze-armored corpse or an ethereal vengeful ghost, all were shattered by the sword light!
It had the grand aura of "Whether you are real or fake, human or ghost, I will cut you down with one sword!"
It was unknown how long had passed, when the last evil spirit was beheaded by Gu Yuan, the mass grave scene gradually faded before Gu Yuan's eyes, and then disappeared before Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan returned to the real world.
