Chapter 691: Chapter 342: Miaomiao’s Dilemma_3

From the result, it’s clear the trial has ended in failure.

"Young Master Fang."

Jiang Shouzhong called out.

The dejected Fang Ziheng looked up. Upon seeing Jiang Shouzhong and Qu Hongling, he froze for a moment before exclaiming in surprise, "Young Master Jiang, Miss Qu, have you also come for the trial?"

"Yep, is the Sword Corpse Slave inside really that hard to deal with?"

Jiang Shouzhong asked.

Fang Ziheng’s face twisted into a bitter smile, "A master at the Heaven Desolation Boundary level. I fought with it for a long time, even used my family’s secret techniques, but I still couldn’t defeat it."

Jiang Shouzhong patted his shoulder in consolation, saying, "It’s alright. There will be more chances in the future. You’re still young. There aren’t many experts of your age in Jianghu. You’re already doing exceptionally well."

Fang Ziheng’s lips twitched slightly.

You two seem way younger than me, yet your strength is several times greater.

Fang Ziheng didn’t know how to respond. Forcing a smile, he said, "I’ll head down first. Young Master Jiang, you two should be careful. The Sword Corpse Slave feels no pain and is tricky to deal with."

"Thank you. I’ll be careful."

Jiang Shouzhong nodded.

After Fang Ziheng left in dejection, Qu Hongling remarked:

"Although his cultivation is at the Great Profound Sect Master Realm, if he truly gave it his all with his sword and combined it with his family’s secret techniques, he stands a chance against a typical Heaven Desolation Boundary opponent. It seems this sixth level’s Sword Corpse Slave is the true dividing line."

Jiang Shouzhong chuckled, "I bet it wouldn’t dare attack me. Your husband’s Kingly Qi isn’t just for show."

Just as Qu Hongling was about to speak, a disciple sneered, "Arrogant fool."

Saying this, he entered the Barrier Gate.

Qu Hongling muttered, "Daring to look down on us, I curse you to fail the trial and get stabbed with ten holes by the Sword Corpse Slave."

However, the girl’s curse did not come true.

In less than half an incense stick’s time, the man walked out of the Barrier Gate.

And he seemed quite at ease.

"I’ll be waiting for you up there. Hope you two don’t embarrass yourselves and stall here." The man left a mocking remark and leisurely headed toward the seventh level.

Qu Hongling raised her delicate brows and was about to step forward when Jiang Shouzhong stopped her.

"It’s fine, let him show off for a while."

Jiang Shouzhong laughed, "I can’t be the only one putting on airs here. Others deserve their turn too."

Qu Hongling grumbled angrily, "If only Miaomiao were here, she’d definitely beat him into a pig’s head."

One of the disciples in the queue hesitated for a moment before offering a gentle explanation, "Senior Brother Zhong Yan has always been like this. But his swordsmanship does rival that of Senior Brother Yichen. Even the Sect Leader praised him, saying he might become the future Sword Leader of Zhenxuan Mountain."

Jiang Shouzhong was a little surprised.

To be on par with Feng Yichen means this person truly has some skill.

...

While Jiang Shouzhong and Qu Hongling were undergoing their trial, Yelü Miaomiao quietly left the Sword Storage Tower and, alone, made her way to a secluded location.

"Come out!"

The girl’s voice was calm and cold.

With a ripple in the air, a mysterious woman entirely clad in black appeared before Yelü Miaomiao.

"Greetings to the Princess."

The woman in black knelt on one knee.

Yelü Miaomiao stared coldly at the elite Ghost Guard from the Empress Dowager’s side and said with a frosty tone, "You’ve got guts, daring to come to a place like Zhenxuan Mountain. Do you really think these Taoists wouldn’t notice you?"

"The matter is urgent. I beg the Princess for forgiveness."

"Speak. Why are you seeking me?"

Yelü Miaomiao looked impatient.

The Ghost Guard said gravely, "The Empress Dowager is gravely ill. I urge the Princess to return as soon as possible."

Yelü Miaomiao furrowed her delicate brows and said, annoyed,

"Using this trick again to fool me? Do you think I’m a three-year-old? Go back and tell the Empress Dowager that her esteemed self doesn’t need to worry about me. I have important matters to attend to in Dazhou. I’ll return in a few days for sure."

"The ’important matters’ you’re talking about—could they possibly involve rolling in bed with some man?"

At that moment, a low, magnetic yet coldly authoritative woman’s voice suddenly rang out.
