Chapter 486: No Hope

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Just as Chen An was thinking about this, two elegant male cultivators walked towards him.

Among them, the gray-robed male cultivator smiled and asked him, “Are you Deacon Chen from the Hundred Flowers Hall?”

“Exactly.”

Chen An nodded in agreement.

He had an impression of the two male cultivators in front of him. He had just used his Golden Fire Eyes to spy on them.

The gray-robed person was called Zhao Hechuan. His cultivation was at the third level of the True Immortal Realm.

The person in the white robe was called Wu Wudi. His cultivation was at the second level of the True Immortal Realm.

Like him, these two people were new disciples of the Hundred Flowers Hall. They could be said to be his teammates for this trial.

Deacon Chen, hello. He and I are also Deacons of the Hundred Flowers Hall. My name is Zhao Hechuan. His name is Wu Wudi. Please take care of us in this trial.” Zhao Hechuan said kindly.

Chen An cupped his hands and said, “So it’s Deacon Zhao and Deacon Wu. I’ve heard a lot about you.”

There was still some time before the trial began.

While waiting, the three of them chatted casually.

From this, Chen An learned that Zhao Hechuan had joined the Hundred Spirit Holy Land eight years ago. Wu Wudi had joined five years ago and was considered a newbie.

It was only at this moment that Chen An realized that he had been tricked by Hua Xuanyin.

The participation requirements of this Newcomer Trial were clearly that all cultivators who joined the Holy Land within a hundred years could participate, but Hua Xuanyin had let three newcomers who had just joined for less than ten years participate. This was clearly because the elders in the hall were unwilling to participate.

The old timers were unwilling to participate. This meant that this Newcomer Trial was most likely a trap. No one wanted to step into it.

“Fortunately, I’m powerful and can easily kill people above my level. Otherwise, I’m afraid I’ll be miserably harmed by that b*tch Hua Xuanyin…” Chen An thought to himself.

“Looks like the talents of the Hundred Flowers Hall have withered. They actually sent three new disciples that I’ve never seen before to participate in the Newcomer Trial. Are they here to embarrass themselves?”

Two men and a woman slowly walked towards Chen An and the others. The purple-clothed woman in the lead said with a strange expression.

Chen An was a little confused by the scene in front of him. He could not help but look at Zhao Hechuan and Wu Wudi, wanting to know what was going on.

Zhao Hechuan frowned slightly and whispered,

“It’s the people from the Thousand Leaves Hall. The Hall Master of the Thousand Leaves Hall is not on good terms with the Hall Master of our Hundred Flowers Hall. The three people from the Thousand Leaves Hall are most likely ordered to provoke us.”

Didn’t that b*tch Hua Xuanyin say that she was popular in the Holy Land?

How could this be called being popular?

So good that she became enemies with others?

Chen An was also numb. He realized that Hua Xuanyin was not telling the truth. He had been a little naive to believe her previously.

“Let’s go. Let’s ignore these people from the Thousand Leaves Hall.”

After saying that, Zhao Hechuan walked elsewhere with Wu Wudi following closely behind him.

Seeing this, Chen An followed them.

He did not despise the two of them for being cowards. Instead, he admired them.

The cultivation of the three people from the Thousand Leaves Hall was as high as the late-stage True Immortal Realm. With Zhao Hechuan and Wu Wudi’s early-stage True Immortal Realm cultivation, they were simply unable to resist them.

Therefore, it was best to avoid them.

Zhao Hechuan and Wu Wudi only stopped when they were far away from the three people from the Thousand Leaves Hall.

Deacon Chen, after the trial begins, we have to hide from the three people from the Thousand Leaves Hall. If we’re unlucky and encounter them, we’ll definitely be tortured and humiliated.” Zhao Hechuan said with a solemn expression.

‘If I really encounter those three weaklings from the Thousand Leaves Hall, 1 can send them flying with a punch…’ Chen An’s heart swelled.

However, on the surface, he still pretended to be slightly grateful.

“Thank you for your reminder, Deacon Zhao.”

“Sigh, there’s no need to be polite. We’re all disciples of the Hundred Flowers

Hall. It’s only right for us to help each other.”

Zhao Hechuan smiled.

Chen An asked curiously, “By the way, Deacon Zhao, what grudge does our Hall

Master have with the Hall Master of the Thousand Leaves Hall?”

“It’s a long story, but I’ve only heard some rumors. I don’t know if they’re true. Deacon Chen, just listen.”

With that, Zhao Hechuan told Chen An everything he had heard.

It turned out that the reason why Hua Xuanyin became enemies with the Hall Master of the Thousand Leaves Hall was because the lover of the Thousand Leaves Hall Master had fallen in love with Hua Xuanyin back then. Then, a series of melodramatic plot twists happened.

They were already immortals, but it could still become like this because of love… Chen An’s horizons were also broadened. He could not help but complain in his heart.

Then, his gaze landed on the Hall Master of the Thousand Leaves Hall on the high platform in the distance. He pretended to be indifferent and secretly sized her up.

She had an oval face and black hair. She was wearing a green dress and looked dignified and noble.

At a glance, she was a beauty.

If one took a closer look, it should be more beautiful and fairy-like.

However, Chen An did not dare to take a closer look.

The other party was the hall master of the Holy Land. Her cultivation was at least at the Quasi-Immortal King Realm. As long as he dared to take another look, he would definitely be discovered.

If he was discovered, he would explode if he took another look.

‘Enemies, right? I like to take in enemies together and let the two of you reconcile honestly in bed…’ Chen An thought to himself.

Other than Hua Xuanyin, he now had another target.

That was to take the Hall Master of the Thousand Leaves Hall as a concubine.

Of course, the premise was that the two of them were still virgins.

By the way, Deacon Chen, there’s something I almost forgot to tell you. Deacon Wu and I have an agreement. After we’re randomly teleported into the trial grounds, we’ll be stuck at the mountainside as bandit cultivators. Anyway, with our strength, we can’t reach the peak at all. Why don’t we take this opportunity to get something good? Do you want to join?”

Zhao Hechuan sent this message to Chen An calmly.

When Chen An heard this, he could not help but be shocked.

Good lord, these two looked refined, but their hearts were actually so evil?

“Deacon Chen, how is it?”

Seeing that Chen An did not respond, Zhao Hechuan could not help but ask again.

Chen An smiled awkwardly and replied, “Deacon Zhao, my cultivation level is not high, and I’m relatively timid. 1 won’t get involved in this matter.”

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhao Hechuan’s expression changed. He frowned slightly, looking a little unhappy.

Wu Wudi’s expression changed when he saw this.

Both of them thought that Chen An would join them. They did not expect Chen An to be so ungrateful. For a moment, they had a lot of opinions about him.

[You tactfully rejected Zhao Hechuan’s invitation to be a bandit cultivator in the trial ground. Zhao Hechuan has developed hatred towards you. Current Hatred Points: 2 stars.]

[You tactfully rejected Zhao Hechuan’s invitation to be a bandit cultivator in the trial ground. Wu Wudi has developed hatred towards you. Current Hatred Points: 3 stars.]

Chen An glanced at the notification and calmly cupped his hands to bid farewell.

“Excuse me.”

With that, he distanced himself from the two of them.

People of different paths could not work together.

He did not want to get too close to such people with the mindset of bandit cultivators.

On the other side, on the high platform.

Dozens of higher-ups of the Holy Land sat together and waited for the start of the trial to watch the performance of the new disciples of the various halls.

As there was still some time before the trial began, many higher-ups chatted with each other.

Some were bragging about the trial contestants sent out by their hall, feeling that their people would definitely win.

Some were praising each other in business and then being humble together.

Some of them were speaking sarcastically to each other, looking like they had accumulated resentment for a long time.

Among these people who were being sarcastic, Hua Xuanyin and the Hall Master of the Thousand Leaves Hall were present.

“Hall Master Hua, the three people from your Hundred Flowers Hall don’t seem to be very good. Their cultivation is only at the early-stage True Immortal Realm. Our Thousand Leaves Hall has late-stage True Immortals. When the trial begins, do you want those three disciples from my Thousand Leaves Hall to lead your Hundred Flowers Hall?”

The Hall Master of the Thousand Leaves Hall, a Quasi-Immortal King cultivator called Zhu Yange, pinched her fingers and spoke in a casual manner. She was deliberately provoking Hua Xuanyin, who was not far away.

When Hua Xuanyin heard this, she sneered and retorted, “Heh, it’s just a Newcomer Trial. Look at how capable you are. Back then, when you participated in the Hall Master Trial, you were beaten up like a dead dog by me. I’m not as smug as you are now.”

Zhu Yange was not angry. Instead, her voice became even gentler. “Hall Master Hua, times have changed. Other than talking about it, what else do you know?”

Her gentle voice should have been pleasant to the ears, but when it came from Zhu Yange’s mouth, it sounded especially eccentric.

“Heh, funny.”

Hua Xuanyin smiled disdainfully, not taking Zhu Yange’s words seriously at all.

However, although she looked indifferent on the surface, she was actually furious.

Tens of thousands of years ago, the Hundred Flowers Hall had always suppressed the Thousand Leaf Hall.

However, from then on, the Hundred Flowers Hall began to decline.

Each day worsened until today, she was completely trampled under the feet of the Thousand Leaves Hall and could not fight back.

In the past, Zhu Yange would have been beaten up by her if she dared to be so sarcastic to her.

‘It doesn’t matter. In any case, the three newbies in the hall are participating in the trial. If they lose, I will have an excuse to say that I didn’t send any powerful disciples…’ Hua Xuanyin comforted herself as she looked at Chen An, Zhao Hechuan, and Wu Wudi in the teleportation array.

Knowing what she was doing, she did not have any hope for the three of them.

She only hoped that these three people would be lucky and not encounter the three people from the Thousand Leaves Hall in the trial ground. They would give the hall master of the Thousand Leaves Hall a chance to mock her and embarrass her, the hall master of the Hundred Flowers Hall.

It would be best if the three people from the Thousand Leaves Hall were unlucky. As soon as they entered, they were defeated by the people from the other halls. They were eliminated faster than Chen An and the other two.

That was why she had to mock Zhu Yange, this stupid woman, when the time came!
