After entering the world of cultivating immortals, I have been living and sleeping

Soon after several people entered the hall, surviving monks arrived one after another, including Jiang Yuan of the Qingyun Sect and Ouyang Jing of the Qingchi Sword Sect.

Seeing that people had almost arrived, mainly because several people in Wen Chang's mind who were very threatening, except Ye Pianran, had arrived, he adjusted his expression, smiled, and said loudly.

"You must be very concerned about how to leave the underground palace, otherwise you will not find this place."

"Yes, does Fellow Daoist Wen know anything?"

Needless to say, almost everyone thinks so. If there is only one person here who knows how to leave, it is Wen Chang.

Of course, Wen Chang couldn't tell the truth and said carelessly.

"Haha, how can I have such great ability? It's just a little personal guess."

"Fellow Literary Taoist, it doesn't matter if you say so."

"Everyone must have discovered that this underground palace is full of puppets, such as the corpse puppets on the first floor, the test on the second floor, and in the third floor, a new type of puppet appeared, which is this humanoid puppet. . If my prediction is correct, you should all have fought against humanoid puppets, right?"

Everyone nodded. It was indeed true. The closer you got to the center of the maze, the more powerful the puppets you encountered. Especially on the last stretch of the road, there would most likely be humanoid puppets popping up in the room, making them invincible.

The first few people who gathered outside the hall fled all the way because they couldn't defeat the humanoid puppets. They accidentally found the center of the maze. As a result, there were more than a dozen humanoid puppets inside the hall, which put them in a dilemma.

It is for this reason that after these people entered the hall, they were surprised that the humanoid puppet could not move. Although they were confused, they couldn't help but feel very happy.

No one noticed that Ouyang Jing, who was standing on the edge of the crowd, blinked with a look of disappointment.

Among the dozen or so people present, she was the last one to arrive, not because she couldn't find the way, but because she liked to fight fiercely with humanoid puppets. She came down several times in a row, which naturally delayed a lot of time.

Ouyang Jing knew that she was only one step away from comprehending the sword's intention, so she naturally refused to let go of such a good training target as the humanoid puppet, because sword cultivators are recognized as the most powerful monks in combat, and the sword's intention naturally needs to be present in the battle in order to achieve it. Get the best understanding.

Although she is only in the middle stage of foundation building, there is no doubt that her strength is better than most people present. After all, those people have no choice but to run away when facing humanoid puppets, including Wen Chang.

After several fierce battles, Ouyang Jing clearly felt that she had made some progress. She thought that it would not be long before she could understand the meaning of the sword. It was not a good thing for her to hear the news that the puppet could not move at this time.

Ouyang Jing was not Wen Chang, so she calmed down quickly, and she remembered someone who might be able to give her a push.

But, strange thing, why hasn’t that person come yet?

Wen Chang didn't notice anything strange about Ouyang Jing. Seeing everyone nodding, the smile on his face deepened.

"Combining these, I have a bold guess. There may be an inheritance of puppetry in a corner of this underground palace, and inheritance is the key to leaving here. Otherwise, are these puppets just decorations?"

Hearing this, everyone looked thoughtful, and within a moment, an impatient monk raised a question.

"If this is the case, what should we do now? Go out and look for inheritance?"

The prey took the bait, Wen Chang kept a warm smile and prepared to tell the story he had already prepared.

"Actually, there's no need to bother, I..."

Just when he was about to blame everything on Ye Pianran, a cold voice suddenly sounded.

"It turns out that everyone is here, I am not late."

Ouyang Jing turned around immediately and when she saw the person coming, her eyes lit up and she said in surprise.

"It's you! I knew you would come."

"I'd like to thank fellow Taoist Ouyang for thinking about me."

Ye Pianran nodded to her and stepped into the hall. The next moment she stepped through the door, there was a bang, and the heavy door closed behind her, tightly sealing it, bringing an unspeakable oppression.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the hall fell silent, and the smiles on everyone's faces disappeared, feeling that something was about to happen.

"The door is closed, what's going on?"

"Maybe the final test is about to begin! If you want to leave, you can't do it without paying a price."

"With so many of us gathered together, the door was not closed, but this female cultivator closed it as soon as she came in. It seems that we are the only ones who can make it here alive."

Everyone was talking about it, and they certainly didn't think that Ye Pianran's ability to control the opening and closing of the door was just a matter of complying with certain rules in the underground palace.

In the center of the crowd, Wen Chang's eyes twitched. He was angry that he was interrupted before he finished speaking, and he was also angry that this female cultivator had such good luck and came here at a critical moment. It was simply unreasonable.

The arrow was on the string and had to be fired. He could only finish the rest of his words.

"Everyone must be very concerned about the inheritance of the puppet art. With inheritance, it is naturally not difficult to control these puppets. Just imagine, what would it be like if someone controlled more than a dozen puppets?"

Watching everyone's expressions change with satisfaction, Wen Chang continued.

"To be honest, not long ago, I was only one step away from obtaining the inheritance. Unfortunately, my skills were not as good as others, so I could only watch the inheritance fall into the hands of others. This person is..."

Wen Chang raised the corners of his lips and raised his hand to point in the direction of the door.

"she!"

"is her?"

There was only one person in that direction, Ye Pianran, who had just arrived. Ouyang Jing was a little surprised, and other monks also showed similar expressions.

Ye Pianran said calmly without any trace of panic.

"My words are unfounded. Friend Wen Taoist targeted me when he first came up. Can I also say that it was actually Friend Wen Dao who received the inheritance of the puppetry technique, but the villain complained first and wanted to frame me?"

This is a powerful argument, because no one can testify for Wen Chang. After all, only the two of them know the inside story. As long as both parties insist on their own opinions, no one can judge the truth or falsehood.

"That's the truth, unless evidence can be produced."

Some people agreed. They were not fools and would not easily believe what one person said. So, everyone's eyes fell on Wen Chang again.

Wen Chang is anxious and helpless now. He is anxious because he has no time. The door is closed, which means that the final test will soon begin. If he cannot seize the opportunity and turn Ye Pianran into a target of public criticism, then he will be the one in danger.

The helplessness is because, if he could finish what he said at that time, he would be able to take the lead and leave an impression in everyone's mind. Even if Ye Pian comes later, it will not be that simple to reverse the situation, and it will definitely not be as easy as it is now.

It's a pity that he didn't take advantage of the right time, place, and people, but under pressure, he really came up with a feasible excuse.

"Why do we need evidence? This fellow Taoist is the last one to come. Doesn't that explain the problem? If he hadn't gone to find a place to digest the inheritance, why would he have come so late."

"Fellow Literary Daoist is wrong. I came late because I was entangled by a humanoid puppet and it was difficult to escape. On the other hand, it is not impossible that Friend Literary Daoist rushed here in a hurry because he wanted to fan the flames. , so that you can stay out of it and the golden cicada can escape."

Ye Pianran took his time and made a powerful counterattack again.
