These few people were assassins cultivated by the Zhao family since childhood, so there was no need to worry about betrayal.
"Creak!"
Entering the dense forest, Qin Xuan vigilantly looked around.
It looked no different from an ordinary forest.
Qin Xuan muttered, continuing to accelerate forward. After walking several hundred feet, Qin Xuan immediately stopped.
Something is strange.
There were no insect chirps or bird calls around, it was so quiet it was unnatural.
This must be a problem.
Two thousand people entered this dense forest, yet there wasn't even a sound? No matter how he thought about it, it didn't seem reasonable.
Qin Xuan frowned. Just then, an extremely strong sense of oppression suddenly descended from above.
Qin Xuan hurriedly looked up, and then saw an old man with an otherworldly aura descending from the sky.
After retreating a few steps, Qin Xuan stopped, vigilantly looking ahead.
"Not bad, it seems the Sect has indeed recruited many good seedlings this year."
The old man stopped, looking at Qin Xuan with a smile.
"Young man, I am the Sect Master of the Azure Green Sect. I see that you have extraordinary bones and exceptional talent, you are definitely a martial arts prodigy. As long as you are willing to take me as your master, I can impart to you the Azure Green Sect's unrevealed martial arts."
As the old man spoke, coupled with that powerful pressure, Qin Xuan was almost completely suppressed.
Putting everything else aside, just this oppressive feeling alone was something even a Yuqing Realm Elder couldn't achieve.
If he could become the Sect Master's Disciple...
With this thought, Qin Xuan was almost moved.
But just as he was about to acknowledge him as his master, his mind stirred, and he stood up with a smile.
"To have created an illusion, and such a realistic one at that, is truly impressive!"
As Qin Xuan spoke, he became even more curious about the Azure Green Sect.
If he wasn't mistaken, the Azure Green Sect must have set up a huge Formation near this forest, and this Formation enveloped the entire forest.
As long as one entered the Formation, they would be affected.
It was precisely because of this that Qin Xuan didn't notice it immediately.
Seemingly realizing that Qin Xuan had noticed the Formation, the old man directly disappeared from his spot.
Immediately, the surrounding scenery changed, and several beautiful women came from all directions, trying to embrace Qin Xuan.
"Hmph!"
Qin Xuan snorted coldly, completely disdainful of these common beauties.
Xuanji Empress was countless times more beautiful than these common beauties, how could he be tempted by them?
"Get lost!"
Qin Xuan growled, and the Surprise Spirit Stab was immediately released.
The illusions around his body seemed to shatter instantly, breaking into hundreds of fragments.
A moment later, these illusions disappeared, and the surroundings became clear.
Listening to the familiar chirping of insects and birds, Qin Xuan smiled slightly and continued forward.
Along the way, Qin Xuan could see many people in the dense forest acting wildly, performing all sorts of unsightly acts as if they were insane.
Some were hugging trees and gnawing on them, while others were crying loudly, voicing their grievances.
Still others were shouting and yelling, as if they had already attained the Dao and achieved Ascension.
These people were immersed in the illusions, clearly showing no signs of waking up.
Nothing else, in the real world, there were many things they yearned for but couldn't obtain.
But in this illusory world, all their desires could be satisfied.
"It seems that without a firm Dao Heart, one simply cannot become a strong practitioner."
Qin Xuan said, then strengthened his Dao Heart and continued forward.
This dense forest was not too large, and it had only been a few moments, so there was still plenty of time.
Just then, Qin Xuan suddenly looked in one direction with a solemn expression.
Someone was starting to approach here.
Are they coming for me?
Qin Xuan frowned, then sneered.
"It seems it's still the Zhao family, truly persistent!"
Qin Xuan coldly clenched his fists.
Because he sensed only one person approaching, Qin Xuan hugged a nearby tree, pretending to be affected by the illusion here.
Sure enough, not long after, a Black-robed Person appeared near Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan glanced out of the corner of his eye and only saw a lion mask on this person's face.
"The Young Lord truly overestimates this fool. Such a fool is not worth so many of us making a move; I can easily deal with him alone."
The Black-robed Person standing on a high perch said disdainfully.
After entering the dense forest, they had dispersed to search for Qin Xuan.
At that time, he had thought this person was incredibly formidable, to be so highly regarded by the Young Lord.
But from the current situation, this person was nothing but a fake.
"No need for others, I can deal with him alone!"
The person said coldly from above, then tightened his grip on the long saber in his hand and lunged towards Qin Xuan below.
A waste immersed in an illusion, killing him wouldn't require him to waste much time.
Looking at Qin Xuan, who was currently hugging a tree in a daze, the Black-robed Person sneered and recklessly swung his saber down towards Qin Xuan's head.
As Qin Xuan got closer and closer, the saber in his hand became faster and faster, and it was about to land on Qin Xuan.
Just then, Qin Xuan suddenly turned his head and grinned at him.
Not good, he's faking it.
The Black-robed Person was greatly alarmed and hurriedly tried to put some distance between them.
But it was already too late.
A black light shot out from Qin Xuan's eyes, quickly piercing his head.
The Black-robed Person felt an intense pain in his brain, and his entire being fell into a daze.
"Clang!"
The blood-red long sword instantly unsheathed, stabbing towards the Black-robed Person's heart.
The intense pain brought the Black-robed Person back to consciousness, but it was already too late!
"You..."
Before the Black-robed Person could finish his sentence, Qin Xuan struck out with several more swords, killing him.
"Profound Earth fifth stage? It must be someone sent by the Zhao family!"
Qin Xuan tried to forcefully tear off the mask on this person's face, but at this moment, the mask had completely merged with his face.
"Forget it, let it be!"
Qin Xuan shook his head, then directly threw the person into the Refining God Cauldron.
Qin Xuan continued forward while absorbing the spiritual liquid.
However, he had only walked for a short while when he stopped with a somewhat grim expression.
"They're truly persistent. Alright, since you want to follow so badly, I'll grant your wish!"
Qin Xuan said coldly, then threw a few Formation Flags to the side.
Since there was a large Formation set up by the Azure Green Sect here, it was even more convenient for him to set up a smaller Formation within this large Formation.
Sure enough, not long after, four Black-robed Persons followed.
"Old Second's aura disappeared around here just now, didn't it? He's too stupid, not leaving even when he couldn't win. Without him, our brothers' most powerful move probably can't be used."
A Black-robed Person wearing a goat mask said.
"He hasn't gone far, let's catch up!"
"The highest cultivation of the Disciples participating in this selection is only Profound Earth fourth stage. His cultivation won't exceed that. Old Second must have been stupid himself, otherwise he wouldn't have been unable to win."
Another person wearing a lion mask immediately spoke, arranging for everyone.
"Even a lion uses its full strength to fight a rabbit. This time, we must act together and make sure to kill him, otherwise we won't be able to account to the Young Lord."
Saying this, these people rushed towards Qin Xuan.
