Chapter 638: Trial (Part 1)

Their shouts drew the attention of several devils.

Two devils immediately stopped attacking the young man and instead charged toward them.

"The devils are coming, Senior Brother Tang, hurry up!"

Junior Sister Su’s face changed drastically, she even forgot her joy at seeing Senior Brother Xiao.

"Be careful, there are many devils here, and they’re all gathering around," Senior Brother Xiao saw them too, his gaze briefly passing over Amalia without recognizing her.

At this point, Amalia realized that the situation was not as she had thought.

The number of Green Lotus Sect disciples entering the back mountain formation seemed unusually high as if it were both a trial and a test.

As they arrived, the formations grew increasingly chaotic.

The Ice Formation and Fire Formation didn’t distinguish between enemies and friends, they just attacked people indiscriminately.

Junior Sister Su while dodging the formation’s attacks, failed to avoid the devil’s sharp blade.

"Watch out, Junior Sister!" Senior Brother Tang instinctively rushed over.

With a squelch, the devil’s hand pierced his body through his chest, pouring the blood out.

"Senior Brother Tang!" Junior Sister Su screamed in fear, not daring to rush over as more devils gathered around them.

Senior Brother Tang’s body turned into a beam of white light and was transmitted out of the illusion upon his death.

"Someone else is out."

The people guarding outside the square saw another beam of light emanate from the stone wall, signaling that another disciple had died and been ejected.

The disciple who was thrown out immediately checked their chest.

Every person who experienced death did this instinctively.

After all, experiencing death firsthand is not an easy thing to accept.

"Haha, I knew it would be Mahamu Tang this time."

Among the onlookers, someone laughed loudly.

Mahamu Tang looked at his fellow sect members who had been ejected earlier and said wryly, "It’s nothing to be proud of coming out later than you. If it wasn’t for saving Junior Sister Su, I wouldn’t have been out so soon."

"Oh right, Junior Sister Su still hasn’t come out yet," someone realized.

"Junior Sister Su only has the cultivation of the peak Foundation Building stage, and the devils inside are mostly leader-level devils."

"Now, besides Junior Sister Su, the remaining people should all be at the Golden Core stage. The next person to come out will likely be Junior Sister Su."

Mahamu Tang suddenly thought of someone, his expression turning odd.

"What’s wrong?" His senior and junior brothers noticed his strange expression.

"Before I came out, there was actually another fellow disciple inside, also at the peak Foundation Building stage like Junior Sister Su," Mahamu Tang said with a flicker in his eyes.

"Another one? But we just counted. There are only four people left inside: Senior Brother Xiao, Senior Brother Su, Junior Sister Su, and another Golden Core stage senior brother."

"She really only has the peak Foundation Building stage cultivation, but..."

"But what? Don’t keep us in suspense." Everyone’s patience was wearing thin.

Mahamu Tang said, "But her combat power is comparable to the Golden Core stage, maybe even stronger. She effortlessly killed two leader-level devils in one strike."

"That’s impossible," was the immediate reaction from everyone.

"Don’t believe me? Wait until Junior Sister Su comes out, and you can ask her by yourselves. When I died and was ejected, she was in the same formation with Senior Brother Xiao and Junior Sister Su."

If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, Mahamu Tang would also find it hard to believe.

At this moment, a fellow junior brother squeezed through the crowd, "Senior Brother Tang, is the person you’re talking about named Amalia?"

The person who asked this question was Dura Jin.

"How do you know?" Mahamu Tang looked at him in surprise.

"We encountered her inside as well. She is indeed very strong. She said she’s from the Main Peak, but after we came out, we asked all the senior and junior brothers from the Main Peak, and none of them had heard of her," Dura Jin said.

"I haven’t seen her at the Main Peak either, so I suspected she might be from one of the Eight Peaks," Mahamu Tang said, also feeling surprised that others had also encountered her.

"We thought the same and asked around the Eight Peaks’ disciples, but no one recognized her."

The illusion in the back mountain of Green Lotus Sect surely wouldn’t allow outsiders to enter.

"She can’t possibly be an outer sect disciple, right?"

With such skills, it’s impossible for her to be an outer sect disciple; at the very least, she must be an inner sect disciple.

"Actually..." Dura Jin suddenly became hesitant.

"Just say it," Mahamu Tang glanced at him.

"Alright, I’ll say it." Dura Jin suddenly leaned close to Mahamu Tang’s ear and whispered, "We suspect that she might be a disciple that was taken in by Master Lian."

Mahamu Tang involuntarily took a sharp breath, "No way!"

"But all the details match—age, cultivation level, and the time she joined the Green Lotus Sect," Dura Jin said while looking at him earnestly.

"If what you’re saying is true, then that person is indeed Master Lian’s disciple."

A voice suddenly interrupted them.

The two were startled and turned around to find a few people eavesdropping on their conversation.

Mahamu Tang immediately warned, "This is just our speculation. Don’t go and spread it around randomly."

"Don’t worry, Senior Brother, we won’t spread it."

But in the blink of an eye, almost everyone in the square knew it.

Amalia might be Master Lian’s disciple.

Amalia is likely the disciple taken in by Master Lian.

This Amalia is the disciple of Master Lian who was accepted two months ago.

There was no doubt about it.

From a mere possibility, the rumor eventually solidified into an ironclad fact, and people started asking Mahamu Tang and Dura Jin for confirmation.

The two of them covered their faces, knowing this would happen.

These gossiping fellows were so unreliable.
