Chapter 1687: Killing Yan Wen

Chapter 1687: Killing Yan Wen

The reason why Zhao Hai had a killing intent on Yan Wen was because he knew that Yan Wen was more hateful than those who showed their murderous intent. Although Yan Wen didn’t look at him the same as the other cultivators, Zhao Hai can see Yan Wen’s true nature using his Instinct Technique. In other words, Yan Wen was getting close to him not because he wanted to work together nor was it to join Zhang Feng’s faction. Yan Wen intended to kill Zhao Hai while blaming it on a calamity.

One has to recognize Yan Wen’s good acting. Unfortunately for him, he met Zhao Hai. Not only did Zhao Hai detect Yan Wen’s deception, he also went along with the play.

Yan Wen asked him to be careful about the other cultivators. Zhao Hai knew that this was Yan Wen’s method to get close to him. Then when Zhao Hai lowers his guard, Yan Wen would stab him in his back.

As Zhao Hai thought of these things, two cultivators approached. It was obvious that the strength of the two was higher than the others. Zhao Hai understood that they were Inner Disciples. However, they shouldn’t have stayed in the Inner Sect for a long time.

Seeing the two people, the Elder nodded and said, “Now that everyone’s here, let’s set off.”

Zhao Hai looked at the two cultivators. At the same time, the two cultivators looked at Zhao Hai and the others in an arrogant manner. Additionally, it seems like the two cultivators were looking at Zhao Hai in a worse manner.

Zhao Hai understood that the two were his enemies. In any case, he already has a lot of enemies, two more wouldn’t matter. He followed the Elder to the transmission formation along with everyone. Yan Wen also followed closely behind.

After a flash of white light, Zhao Hai discovered that he appeared on a mountain. The mountain wasn’t very tall. Looking down from the mountain, its altitude should be no more than three thousand meters. However, the mountain was steep, almost cylindrical. On top of the mountain was a very flat plateau. There were a lot of cultivators on the mountain. These cultivators stayed in groups and didn’t wander.

There was an enormous stone gate on the mountain. The gate was a kilometer high and 500 meters wide. Carved on the gate were all kinds of beasts.

Then on the topmost part of the gate were two large characters that spelled “World Gate”

Zhao Hai was sizing up the other cultivators. These people were as strong as the people sent by the Black Tiger Gang. Moreover, it seems like they brought the same amount of people, no more than 15.

The Elder looked at everyone including Zhao Hai and said, “When the world gate opens, you have to enter as quickly as you can. Remember, after entering the foreign trial, everyone will be your enemy. If you want to return, don’t trust anyone.” After he said that, the cultivators from the Black Tiger Gang looked at each other. Then they involuntarily distanced themselves from each other.

Yan Wen skirted over to Zhao Hai and said, “Senior Brother, we have to work closely together. This way, we would have a greater chance of survival.”

Zhao Hai nodded and said, “Junior Brother’s plan isn’t bad. We have to act together. Otherwise, it would be difficult to come back alive.”

The Elder naturally heard this exchange, he glanced at the two but didn’t say anything. From the Elder’s point of view, Zhao Hai was already a dead man. He actually believed Yan Wen’s words that easily.

Zhao Hai also felt the Elder looking at him. However, he didn’t react. He just stood in place as he looked at the gate.

The transmission formations continued to light up. Naturally, these were people coming from different sects. But even if two people from different sects knew each other, they would still keep a distance from each other.

Time passed and two hours later the flat space was filled with people. Everyone was looking at the gate.

Another hour passed and Zhao Hai could feel the wind surrounding the mountain becoming stronger and stronger. Then the sky began to turn dark. The gate was also covered with dark clouds.

Shortly after, Zhao Hai heard a heavy opening noise from the gate. The dark clouds surrounding the gate tumbled as a crack slowly opened up.

The crack was initially a meter wide but it became larger and larger. Finally, the crack was as wide as the gate. Then in the middle was a swirling black hole, covering the entire stone gate.

When the large hole appeared, the Elder immediately said, “Move!” Everyone immediately moved and charged towards the gate.

Zhao Hai didn’t care about the rush as he slowly flew behind the crowd. He was aware of the rules of the foreign trial. The crack would open for a month. In this month, cultivators can go in and out as much as they want. On the other hand, the spirit slugs couldn’t pass through.

The cultivators rushed over because they were afraid that they would be ambushed by those ahead. Everyone wanted to be there first and were not afraid that the gate would close on them.

Yan Wen followed behind Zhao Hai and worriedly said, “Senior Brother, we need to quickly follow. Otherwise we would be ambushed when we enter.”

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “It might not necessarily be safe either if we enter now. We might as well reduce our worries. After all, not everyone would stay at the exit for a long time.”

Hearing what Zhao Hai said, Yan Wen really wanted to rush in first. However, upon thinking that he had gained ‘Zhang Hao’s’ trust, Yan Wen gave up on his plan.

Zhao Hai and Yan Wen leisurely flew to the gate. The other cultivators passed them one after another. The entrance was very large, otherwise people would squeeze themselves in.

Although the gate was crowded, everyone was still able to successfully pass through. Moreover, although the gate was crowded, everyone knew the rules, so nobody made any moves.

The cylindrical mountain was called the world gate mountain. The gate on top of the mountain opens every five years. Every sect would send disciples over to undergo the foreign trial. These cultivators can do whatever they want in the foreign trial, but they aren’t allowed to attack in the world gate mountain. Whoever dared to do so would be dealt with by their own sect leader.

Before long, all the cultivators besides Zhao Hai and Yan Wen entered the gate. The Elders on the mountain looked at Zhao Hai and Yan Wen with a trace of surprise in their eyes. They couldn’t understand how Zhao Hai and Yan Wen could be so calm.

Looking at the completely empty gate, Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “Let’s go in.” Yan Wen had a bitter look on his face. He felt that his plan had gone wrong. Even if he entered the gate and killed Zhao Hai, he had also wasted his time for the trial.

Thinking of this, Yan Wen’s hatred for Zhao Hai increased. However, he didn’t reveal his anger. He just followed beside Zhao Hai as they entered the gate.

As soon as they entered the gate, Zhao Hai and Yan Wen were stunned. They thought that the foreign trail would be dark, or was a desert filled with danger.

Instead, they discovered that their thoughts were mistaken. The subspace wasn’t empty at all. It was practically a garden. It had large trees growing everywhere. There was also a small river flowing in the distance. A high mountain can be seen in the distance. It was picturesque.

As Yan Wen was stunned, he suddenly felt a pain in his chest. When he looked down, he saw a sword coming out of his body. Blood was constantly spewing out of the wound.

Yan Wen turned his head and saw Zhao Hai smiling at him. Yan Wen couldn’t help but blurt out, “Why?”

Zhao Hai smiled and said, “You think I don’t know the reason why you got close to me? Did you really think that I would believe you? Kid, you’re still too tender. You can’t hide anything from me. You’ll kill me and use our relationship to enter the First Senior Brother’s faction, then you’ll become a spy.”

Yan Wen couldn’t help but stare at Zhao Hai. This was because Zhao Hai was absolutely correct. He didn’t expect that Zhao Hai would know everything.

Zhao Hai waved his hand and withdrew his sword from Yan Wen’s chest. Like an opened faucet, blood spurted out from Yan Wen’s body. His heart was pierced by Zhao Hai’s sword. Even if cultivators have strong vitality, Yan Wen was still dealt a fatal blow.

Just as Yan Wen was to perform a last-ditch attack towards Zhao Hai, he found that Zhao Hai slapped him on the head. The slap didn’t look heavy, but Yan Wen felt a large amount of energy entering his body. It didn’t take long before his spiritual force completely dissipated. Yan Wen rolled his eyes back and finally fell down.

Zhao Hai waved his hand and received Yan Wen’s body in the Space and turned him into an Undead. Just when he received Yan Wen, Zhao Hai heard a rustle from his side. Then after that, he saw people from the Black Tiger Gang who were looking at him with hostility. These people surrounded Zhao Hai. It’s clear that these people were ready to place Zhao Hai in a death trap.

Without waiting for Zhao Hai to speak, one of the cultivators said, “Vicious and merciless. Worthy enough for a person Zhang Feng settled on. Unfortunately for you, you’ll die today!”
