Many of the disciples handed over their storage pouches and left Qinghua Rift.
Besides Su Mo, only 60-70 disciples were left behind.
These people were the disciples of the Sky Rapier Sect. All of them were experts, and they were led by Jian Wuyou.
“Jian Wuyou, are you not surrendering?” Su Mo asked with a smile.
Jian Wuyou took a deep breath and pondered for a while before saying, “Su Mo, each of us is willing to give you 20,000 pieces of Lower Spiritual Stones. Let us leave!”
Jian Wuyou was unwilling to hand over his storage pouch. He had found a few treasures in Qinghua Rift that would help him to break through and enter the True Spirit Realm.
He was determined not to surrender his storage pouch.
With his strength, he would be able to survive, even if he were to stay behind in Qinghua Rift.
“20,000 pieces?” Upon hearing this, Su Mo raised his brows. To a martial artist, 20,000 pieces of Lower Spiritual Stones was a fortune.
After giving it some thought, Su Mo nodded and said, “Alright. each of you hands over 20,000 pieces of Lower Spiritual Stones and you may leave.”
Su Mo had given these people a chance. More importantly, the exit would be sealed off soon.
These people had persisted thus far and they would obviously not compromise. Unless Su Mo killed them, he would not be able to get them to hand over the storage pouches. Su Mo thus decided to be more lenient.
After they had heard this, everyone let out a sigh of relief. As long as they did not have to hand over their storage pouches, they were fine with the arrangement.
Although 20,000 pieces of Lower Spiritual Stones was not a small amount, they could still afford to pay up.
After everyone had handed over the Spiritual Stones, they exited, one after another.
As everyone had left, Su Mo was alone in Qinghua Rift.
Other than the last batch of disciples who had paid up 20,000 pieces of Lower Spiritual Stones, the thousands of disciples who had come for the trial test had their storage pouches snatched by Su Mo.
Of course, Ling Muchen’s storage pouch was not included.
He checked the storage ring happily, in which there were piles of storage pouches and Spiritual Stones.
“There are so many storage pouches. I wonder how much wealth these will amount to!” Su Mo murmured. However, this was not the time for him to check the inventory. In a flash, Su Mo dashed toward the exit.
In the valley outside Qinghua Rift, soon after the leading elders of the four sects had joined forces to open up the exit, the disciples flew out consecutively.
The first to appear was Qin Qianyue, Ling Muchen, and the other more than 200 disciples.
However, after that, no other disciples came out.
“What happened? Where are the rest?”
All the elders were baffled. More than 4,000 disciples had participated in the trial test, but only around 200 disciples had come out from the Qinghua Rift.
“Let’s wait for a while! They should be out soon!” the sixth elder of the Sky Yuan Sect said in a deep voice.
The elders nodded in agreement. So many disciples had participated in this trial test, there must be more survivors.
Even if the disciples of the four sects had fought at the White Jade Square, it was impossible that they were all dead!
“Hehe! Let’s wait then!” Zhu Lixing, the elder of the Scorching Sun Sect, said with a smile, “it’s still early! The seal of the entrance will remain open for 15 minutes.”
Although the other three elders were worried, Zhu Lixing was not worried at all. With a martial artist in the True Spirit Realm among the disciples of the Scorching Sun Sect, they would be fine.
Unless they had been besieged by multiple Lv 3 Demonic Beasts. However, this was unlikely to happen.
All the elders continued to wait. After half the time had passed, no one else had come out of Qinghua Rift.
The elders of the four sects turned pale.
“What has happened?”
“Where are all the disciples?”
“Did you see the rest participants? Are they alive?” The seventh elder of the Gale Island turned to ask the disciples that had come out.
He was anxious. So far, only one disciple from the Gale Island had come out and that was Ling Muchen.
“Yes. They are at White Jade Square…” a disciple from the Sky Yuan Sect said.
However, before the disciple could finish his sentence, the
“They have been…” The disciple was about to say that they had been blocked by Su Mo when someone stepped out of the exit.
He did not continue with what he had to say.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The disciples flew consecutively out of the exit. After breathing in the air outside, they felt lucky to have survived the disaster.
However, when they thought of their pathetic condition of coming out empty-handed, their faces darkened.
After this batch of 60-70 disciples came out, another batch came out after a while.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Many disciples came out of the exit, back to the valley.
The elders, who had been worried, let out a sigh of relief at the sight of those disciples!
It might seem easy to open up the entrance of Qinghua Rift, but it was in fact extremely difficult. It required the combined forces of the four sects, together with a special item to unseal the entrance. They could only open it once a year. Even if many of the disciples were trapped within, they would not be able to go in and save them.
After a while, more than a thousand disciples came out of Qinghua Rift.
After that, no one appeared.
The countenance of the seventh elder fell after he scanned through the disciples who were out.
Among these disciples, none of them was from the Gale Island. This startled him!
“Hahaha! Seventh elder, where are your disciples? Why are they not out yet?” Zhu Lixing asked with a sneer.
“Ha! Zhu Lixing, not many of your disciples are out as well!” The seventh elder sneered. He had scanned around and realized that not many of the disciples of the Scorching Sun Sect were out.
There were in fact, only 80-90 of them.
Zhu Lixing’s lips curled into a smile. He was not worried at all.
Tang Quan was not out yet, so it was not strange that the other disciples were not out!
The few elders stared hard at the exit. After a while, a large number of disciples dashed out.
Having seen the disciples who came out, the seventh elder smiled.
This batch of disciples were all from the Gale Island. There were more than 500 of them.
Zhu Lixing’s face darkened upon seeing so many disciples from the Gale Island.
“What is Tang Quan doing? Isn’t he supposed to lead the others to kill the disciples from the Gale Island? Why are there so many survivors?” Zhu Lixing frowned and said within himself.
After the disciples from the Gale Island came out, another batch of disciples followed suit after a while.
In a short while, about 3,000 disciples came out.
Suddenly, a figure flashed out from the exit, before a corpse flew out and landed on the ground.
Thud!
The corpse that had been split into two parts crash-landed on the ground.
“What?”
After the elders had taken a good look, they saw that it was the body of a disciple from the Sky Rapier Sect.
“Liu Canyang!” The elder of the Sky Rapier Sect, a cold-looking middle-aged man, looked at the body and frowned.
