Chapter 2919 Entering the Forest

Awkward!

Awkward in capital letters!

That word “retreat” had been so resounding.

Yet Ye Yuan didn’t move even half a step.

At the entrance to the Forest of No Confusion, there was nothing but awkwardness.

They had thought that the frail-looking Ye Yuan, under this baleful aura, would at least be severely injured if not have his soul scattered.

Who would have guessed that he didn’t feel anything unusual at all?

“No way? That kid is only a mid-level True Emperor, yet he can block Qin Shitian’s baleful aura?”

“I heard that Qin Shitian’s baleful aura can even suppress the blood energy of the Blood Clan, yet it can’t suppress that kid!”

“This is really awkward now. Look at Qin Shitian’s face—it’s turned green!”

…

Qin Shitian’s reputation was illustrious throughout the entire Chilian Battlefield, and even in the Ninglan Domain.

But who would have thought that he would suffer a setback in front of an unknown kid?

Zhou Yu was clearly more shrewd than the other two. He looked at Ye Yuan with a half-smile and said, “Interesting! Truly interesting! I didn’t expect to run into an interesting little fellow in this temple entrance exam. You, what’s your name?”

Ye Yuan smiled and shook his head, but turned and walked away.

The remaining three were left dumbfounded.

This guy actually ignored them!

Here, someone actually dared to ignore the Chilian Triad!

This time, even Zhou Yu lost his composure.

“Kid, I’m talking to you. Are you deaf?” Zhou Yu said coldly.

“If you want to show off, do it after passing the exam. Strutting around before even entering the Forest of No Confusion only invites ridicule.” Ye Yuan didn’t look back, speaking calmly.

Hiss…

Everyone drew in a cold breath.

How domineering!

In the distance, Yan Yuzhen saw this scene and couldn’t help but smile.

Indeed, so like Ye Yuan!

Although these three were very strong, compared to Ye Yuan, they were still far behind!

The Chilian Triad carried a very heavy baleful aura, and their soul bodies were extremely condensed—indeed not easy to deal with.

But the path Ye Yuan walked was completely different from theirs.

The Chilian Triad had long been tempered on the battlefield, condensing their soul bodies, much like humans training their physical bodies.

Ye Yuan, on the other hand, walked the path of the Great Dao reaching the heavens!

When fighting Ye Yuan, he sensed Ye Yuan’s primordial spirit, vast and ethereal like mist, beyond reach.

Though the baleful aura was heavy, it was insignificant before Ye Yuan.

Unless this baleful aura reached the Emperor realm, it could not affect Ye Yuan at all.

“Heh, it seems someone wants to challenge us this time! Interesting! Very interesting!” Qin Shitian laughed coldly, his gaze already dark to the extreme.

These three were all ruthless individuals who had killed countless people.

The number of humans and Blood Clan members who had died at their hands was incalculable.

They had originally thought this time would be a competition among the three of them, but who knew someone would dare to provoke them.

Zhou Yu, however, laughed and said, “Isn’t this good? I thought this time would be boring. Bullying an arrogant kid along the way isn’t bad either. I just wonder if he can make it out of the Forest of No Confusion!”

Those who knew him well understood that Zhou Yu had already developed murderous intent.

Just then, a figure appeared above the Forest of No Confusion.

An Emperor realm powerhouse!

“Alright, everyone is here. Enter the Forest of No Confusion! The time limit is three days. After three days, those who cannot come out will be teleported out automatically. However, if you can’t even last three days, don’t blame anyone. Now, you still have the option to withdraw.” The Emperor realm powerhouse announced loudly.

No one moved. Those who came here naturally knew the dangers of the Forest of No Confusion.

The Emperor realm powerhouse smiled slightly and said, “Since no one is withdrawing, enter the forest!”

At his command, over a thousand soul clan geniuses entered the Forest of No Confusion one after another.

In front of the forest, there was a light screen, and the light spots on it represented everyone’s positions.

When a light spot disappeared, it meant that person had been erased from consciousness and had become part of the Forest of No Confusion.

Every time they entered the forest, hundreds would ultimately fall.

Not long after everyone entered the Forest of No Confusion, several figures descended gracefully.

The Emperor realm powerhouse’s pupils contracted slightly, and he quickly bowed and said, “Greetings to the three temple masters! Greetings to the several elders!”

“Mm, continue to oversee the Forest of No Confusion. Don’t mind us!”

“Yes!”

So it turned out that the three temple masters—one chief and two deputies—had come in person!

The forest keeper felt a slight chill in his heart. It seemed the three temple masters placed great importance on these three nominal disciples!

Temple Master Dongyang Dizun, Deputy Temple Master Xichen Dizun, and Deputy Temple Master Linfang Dizun were all great experts at the Indra realm.

For them to be noticed by these three showed the weight of the Chilian Triad.

Besides them, Yan Yuzhen’s master, Qiyu Hundizun, had also arrived.

“Master!” Yan Yuzhen bowed.

Qiyu saw Yan Yuzhen and was slightly surprised, saying, “You’re here too?”

Yan Yuzhen said, “Yes, disciple went out this time and made a good friend. He also wants to enter the Nirvana Temple, so I arranged the entrance exam for him.”

Qiyu nodded slightly. Such things were common and not a big deal.

But Yan Yuzhen was deeply disappointed inside.

He had hoped that his master could detect the irregularities in his soul body.

Unfortunately, no!

It seemed Ye Yuan’s technique was extremely clever, so much so that even a great expert at the Di Haotian realm noticed nothing.

“Which one is your friend?” Qiyu asked.

“This… the last one, named Ye Yuan.” On the light screen, everyone’s names were displayed.

Qiyu laughed and said, “The outer periphery has the fewest wandering souls. He’s still lingering there now. I’m afraid… it will be hard for him to last three days, right?”

Yan Yuzhen couldn’t help but smile bitterly. He was also puzzled.

Given Ye Yuan’s Dao heart, he should have advanced quickly, but he had stopped right at the start.

This showed that he had already been tempted!

In the Forest of No Confusion, the deeper one went, the more wandering souls there were, and the stronger the temptation.

“Heh, Uncle-Master Qiyu, this kid was just challenging the Chilian Triad earlier. I thought he had some skill. Who knew he couldn’t even break through the outer periphery? What a waste! Heh, Junior Brother Yuzhen has good strength, but his choice of friends is too poor. The Chilian Triad truly lives up to being the nominal disciples of the three temple masters. At this rate, they might… break the record!”

The speaker was Jiang Hao, also a disciple of an elder, with strength comparable to Yan Yuzhen.

The two had been in covert competition.

He had witnessed the earlier scene and naturally saw it.

He had thought Ye Yuan could block the Chilian Triad’s baleful aura and had some skill, but who knew he was so useless.

Seeing Yan Yuzhen suffer a setback, he naturally couldn’t resist stepping on him.

Hearing this, Qiyu’s face also showed great embarrassment. His expression darkened, and he looked at Yan Yuzhen with displeasure.

What kind of lousy friend was this?

Not only was his strength poor, but he had also offended the temple masters’ nominal disciples. Wasn’t this causing trouble for himself?

He, a Di Haotian, couldn’t afford to lose face!

Looking at the Chilian Triad, they were almost neck and neck, already charging three li into the forest!

The Forest of No Confusion was not large, only ten li square.

But the deeper one went, the slower it would become.
