Chapter 12: Assassin

  Chapter Twelve: Murderous Intent

  When the second name regained control over his body, a disciple of Bi Hai Zong followed Gu Yan's footsteps and disappeared into the underground passage. As expected by everyone, another Bi Hai Zong disciple who had entered the Transmission Cave Heaven stood up in response.

  At this time, the twelve cultivators sitting on the cushions in the room finally confirmed one thing in their hearts: only when the person who entered first walked into the underground passage could the subsequent people regain their freedom. If the person in front stayed in the room, no matter how long or short the time was, or if there were any other movements, the rest of the people could only sit on the cushions and stare blankly.

  This disciple of Bi Hai Zong did not try to find anything in the dan furnace in the center of the room, but instead went straight to the wall cabinet and grabbed a handful of the topmost dan medicine bottles. After all, whether it's from the appearance of the bottle or the placement of the dan medicine, the one on the top must be the best.

  As for why everyone rushed to this bottle, the wall cabinet still looked like new, it was not something that the people present could understand. In their hearts, they could only conclude that the old man who left behind this inheritance of Tongtian actually had great power and divine powers.

  However, Fang Tiannan noticed that this disciple of Bi Hai Zong, after successfully grabbing the Dan medicine bottle and getting one in his hand, actually stretched out his hand again towards the Dan medicine bottle on the wall cabinet. Moreover, his target was still the topmost one.

  For a moment, it was not just Fang Tian Nan, but all the cultivators sitting on the futon, who stared with wide eyes and looked at this disciple of Bi Hai Zong with great expectation.

  No matter what, the old man who left behind the legacy said that every cultivator who entered the room could receive a bottle of dan medicine as a reward. However, since the number of bottles on the shelf didn't decrease after taking one, can a cultivator get two, three, or even more bottles of dan medicine?

  To know, the elixirs in these bottles are absolutely good stuff. Even if you don't use them yourself, taking them to your sect to exchange can also get you a substantial amount of contribution points, which can be used to buy other items that are more suitable for your cultivation.

  For any cultivator who wants to go further on their cultivation path, the first thing is to look at their innate talent. Otherwise, sects like Qingyun Sect and Bihai Sect would not place such importance on the talent of an outer disciple when selecting them. However, this aspect is something that one is born with, and cultivators themselves basically have no way to make any changes.

  As far as Fang Tian Nan knew, there were very few things in this world that could change a cultivator's innate physique. Even if they existed, they would be snatched up by the most powerful forces and listed as treasures passed down through the ages. Unless one was the child of a sect master or an extremely important person, they wouldn't have the opportunity to use them.

  And the second is that in the process of cultivation, continuously borrow various external resources to assist in cultivation. Such as some suitable elixirs can improve the cultivator's cultivation. Even a handy weapon, a set of high-matching skills, can enhance the strength of a cultivator.

  All of these external resources ultimately require a large amount of wealth to exchange.

  Poverty in literature and wealth in martial arts is the most prominent rule for practitioners.

  。。。。。。

  What Fang Tian Nan and others did not expect was that when this disciple of Bi Hai Zong touched the Dan medicine bottle on the wall cabinet with one hand for the second time, at first, it was also like before, his palm silently passed through the Dan medicine bottle. However, there was no second Dan medicine bottle in his hand. On the contrary, the original bottle of Dan medicine that had been taken into his hand disappeared silently and soundlessly during this attempt.

  The disciple of Bi Hai Zong suddenly turned pale.

  At this moment, a bright light flashed from the top layer of the medicine bottle in the wall cabinet and entered the mind of this disciple of Bihai Sect. It seemed to be conveying some information. The face of this disciple of Bihai Sect changed, with a look of regret, as if he was somewhat unwilling, stretched out his hand again to grab a medicine bottle on the wall cabinet. As a result, it was naturally in vain.

  He could only helplessly sigh, as if muttering to himself that greed would lead to loss. He turned back to look at the few people still sitting on the couch with a complex expression, shook his head and walked towards the underground passageway.

  At least, after his experience and lessons, the remaining people should not make such mistakes again.

  Fang Tian Nan guessed that it was probably due to the greed of the cultivator, which led the elder who had left behind a legacy to take back the elixir he had already obtained.

  This made Fang Tian Nan even more curious about the old man who left behind the inheritance. Obviously, such a rule was not temporary, and the old man was no longer in this inheritance cave, or may have already passed away. Otherwise, why would he go to so much trouble? So, at the time of preparation, the old man who left behind the inheritance could think that through the acquisition of Dan medicine, it is possible to identify a successor's character, undoubtedly with very comprehensive consideration.

  When the fourth figure that could stand up appeared clearly in front of Fang Tian Nan, Fang Tian Nan felt a strong killing intent.

  This killing intent is not directed at Fang Tian Nan alone, but at the vast majority of people remaining in the room. The warriors who can enter this room can be roughly divided into four factions. Apart from the disciples of the three major sects, there are also forces formed by the union of many small sects. Whether there is hostility between them, Fang Tian Nan is not very clear. However, the secret competition among the three major sects is extremely fierce.

  Taihang Gang had only two martial artists in total, entering the room. In terms of numbers, they were undoubtedly at a disadvantage. The fourth disciple who stood up was a member of Taihang Gang and was also skilled in alchemy or had a good understanding of alchemy.

  When the Dan furnace first appeared in the room, Fang Tian Nan saw a flash of excitement in its eyes.

  At this moment, he didn't rush to collect the elixir that was supposed to be his, but instead scattered his killing intent everywhere, targeting everyone in the room except for his fellow disciples.

  A sense of unease suddenly rose in Fang Tian Nan's heart.

  。。。。。。

  The three people, including Gu Yanruo, did not make a move towards the others, but in their hearts, everyone was very clear that the person sitting on the couch had no way of getting up by themselves and could only wait. In this case, would Gu Yanruo not know that when she regained her freedom and could move around, the others would be completely unable to withstand her attack?

  However, Gu Yanran did not show any abnormal behavior. Perhaps it was because Gu Yanran was not bothered by it, or perhaps it was because the six members of Qingyun Sect already had a strong advantage among so many participants, in short, Gu Yanran hoped that she would set an example and create a fair competitive environment for everyone.

  Even so, the next two sons of the Bi Hai Zong also thought so?

  Alas, this disciple of the Taihang Gang had revealed his ferocity. The long knife in his hand had already been raised. His target, first and foremost, was a inner sect disciple of Qingyun Sect who was fifth to enter the room.

  "You killed me, aren't you afraid that after going out, you will be retaliated against?" The inner door disciple of the Qingyun Sect had a slightly nervous look on his face, but the words he spoke were loud and clear. "Every single one of us who can enter the Transmission Cave Heaven has elders from our sect waiting outside who are very concerned about us. If something happens to any of us, they will definitely investigate to the end."

  "Kyi kyi kyi——" A disciple of the Taihang Sect said with a strange smile, "I'm so scared... …" Then, his face turned serious and he said, "If you want to obtain the inheritance, you must be prepared to risk your life. Who knows what kind of status I will get after I go out? Will the Qingyun Sect start a war between two sects because of you? ... Haha ha... …"

  That laughter, in a room that was not spacious, sounded particularly jarring.

  Fang Tian Nan and the others looked at this disciple of Tai Hang Gang, their eyes were exceptionally angry. If it was said that in the Transmission Cave Heaven there were all sorts of dangers, and everyone died in danger, then so be it. But now, they hadn't even accepted the trial yet, but had to die under the opponent's knife, without any chance to resist, this made the crowd's inner hatred reach an extreme point.

  Fang Tian Nan even came up with an idea, if Gu Yan Ran was present at the time and directly killed everyone in the room except for Qing Yun Sect, wouldn't that mean that the ultimate benefit of this Transmission Heaven would fall into the hands of Qing Yun Sect's disciples?
