In the end, the top four were finally decided. They were Xu Meng, Zhao Ya, Zhang He, and Mu Shi.

Ai Xue, who was walking high and low, none of the four disciples squeezed into the top four…

In the beginning, Ai Xue’s high-profile recruitment of disciples made all the villagers think that this person was the strongest among this group of immortal masters, but now… Sigh, let’s not talk about it.

As for Ai Xue? She looked at the four disciples in front of her with a gloomy expression.

Niu Zhong lowered his head and said, “I… I’m sorry, Master.”

...

Ai Xue looked at Niu Zhong coldly.

Sensing this cold gaze, Niu Zhong felt as if he had fallen into an icehouse!

“I gave you so many resources, but you’re so disappointing. What’s the use of having you?”

Niu Zhong’s face was filled with fear. He opened his mouth but did not know what to say.

“From now on, you can cultivate on your own. Don’t mention my name in the future. I can’t afford to lose face!”

The expressions of Niu Zhong and the others changed.

They knew that Ai Xue had expelled them from the sect!

However… Ai Xue had never truly treated them as her disciples. They were only pawns used to pass the test.

Ye Qiubai and the others couldn’t help but frown when they heard Ai Xue’s words.

However, it was her own business after all. It was not convenient for them to care so much.

“Since the owner of the stone house has been decided, the test should be over.” Fang Qiong looked around, but the voice had yet to appear.

At this moment, the village chief suddenly spoke.

“Fellow villagers, those who should heal, those who should farm, those who should herd cows, go and herd cows.”

Hearing the village chief’s words, everyone dispersed while chatting and laughing.

Under the puzzled gazes of Ye Qiubai and the others, the village chief smiled and walked forward. Then, he said, “Those who pass the test still have a day to bid farewell to the disciples you accepted.”

At this point, the village chief’s temperament had also changed drastically!

Even though there was no aura of cultivation, that dense soul power could not help but leak out!

It was like a vast ocean.

It was like the Netherworld Abyss…

Even Mu Fusheng could not see through him!

Clearly, the Village Chief’s identity was not ordinary. He was probably an examiner in the Portrait Of Emptiness.

“Of course, if you don’t need to say goodbye, I can take you to the core area now.”

Hearing the village chief’s words, Mu Shi and the other disciples were slightly stunned.

Little Shu hurriedly turned around and grabbed the corner of Mu Wan’er’s clothes. He pouted slightly, looked up at Mu Wan’er pitifully, and whispered, “Mas… Master, are you leaving?”

Mu Wan’er looked down at Little Shu and nodded helplessly.

“Then… then you don’t want Little Shu anymore?”

Mu Wan’er half-squatted down and stroked Little Shu’s head. “If possible, Master also wants to bring you around.”

She likes this disciple of hers, Little Shu, after nurturing her for a year.

She was hardworking… and filial. It was so cute to have a master on her left and a master on her right following behind her!

Glancing at Mu Shi, Ye Qiubai looked at the village chief and asked, “Senior, can you bring our disciples out too?”

The village chief smiled and said, “Why? They’re just disciples you took in to pass the test. To put it bluntly, they’re just tools. Why do you have to bring them out to nurture them?”

Hearing the village chief’s words, Mu Shi and the others turned pale.

“They’re not tools!” Without waiting for Ye Qiubai to answer, Mu Wan’er retorted angrily!

Seeing this, Ye Qiubai also smiled and shook his head, leaving it to Mu Wan’er.

“Do you think we’re all like that Ai Xue? We take in disciples sincerely and don’t treat them as tools!”

Ai Xue: “…”

What’s wrong with you?

I’m already unhappy, why do you have to cue me?

Mu Wan’er hugged Little Shu with both hands and looked at the village chief angrily. “Even if we can’t bring him out, he’s still our disciple!”

Looking at Mu Wan’er, the village chief suddenly smiled and nodded. “It’s rare for you to have such thoughts. In that case, we can naturally bring them out.”

It seemed that the village chief had given them a small test…

Hearing the village chief’s answer, Mu Wan’er and the others heaved a sigh of relief.

Then, he smiled and looked at Little Shu. “Alright, when the time comes, you’ll follow Master to the outside world. How about that?”

Little Shu’s expression instantly brightened, but his small face gradually dimmed again.

“But… Grandpa…”

Mu Wan’er smiled. “You can also go out with us. When the time comes, Master will find a place for your grandfather to enjoy his family.”

Upon hearing this, the gloominess on Little Shu’s face dissipated.

“Alright, since you’ve decided to bring it out, will you follow me to the core area now?” The village chief asked.

Previously, he had said that he would give them a day to bid farewell to his disciples.

There was no need to bring it out.

Ye Qiubai and the others nodded.

“In that case, the others who didn’t pass the test can wait here.”

At this moment, Xin Hongyi, who had not been seen for a long time, appeared.

Seeing this, Zhao Ya immediately walked to Xin Hongyi’s side.

Ye Qiubai and Mu Fusheng looked over with complicated and solemn expressions.

The village chief raised his eyebrows and looked at Xin Hongyi, saying, “A remnant of the Demon Region? Logically speaking, you are not allowed to enter, but according to what the Human Ancestor said, as long as you pass the test, anyone can enter, just let nature take its course… Since that’s the case, come with us.”

With that, the village chief raised his hand and waved it. The space in front of him was torn apart like a thin piece of paper!

Then, he stepped in first.

Ye Qiubai, Mu Wan’er, the wooden man, and Xin Hongyi also followed the village chief.

When they walked in, the space instantly closed!

Looking at the closed spatial rift, Jiang Qingluan pursed her lips: “I don’t know what Human Ancestor’s seniors are thinking, letting a remnant of the demonic region in, what if she gets the Portrait Of Emptiness?”

Mu Ziqing chuckled. “Don’t worry, I won’t.”

Jiang Qingluan glanced at Mu Ziqing and said helplessly, “Yes, yes. Your Ye Qiubai must have gotten it, right?”

Mu Ziqing blushed, but she still nodded.

Mu Ziqing always trusted Ye Qiubai completely.

“But… if that dull-looking man goes in, I’m afraid the Supervisory Temple’s goal won’t be achieved, right?” Song Xiao said with a smile.

“But… if that dull-looking man goes in, I’m afraid the Supervisory Temple’s goal won’t be achieved, right?” Song Xiao said with a smile.

Ai Xue sneered and said, “If you can think that way, it means that your goal has been achieved.”

Hearing this, Song Xiao’s expression changed.

Hong Ying and the others also looked over.

“Even though I’m the leader of the Supervisory Temple, I’m not the strongest.” Ai Xue shook her head. “Even though I don’t want to admit it, his strength far exceeds mine.”

“You won’t stand a chance against him.”

In any case, she couldn’t send a voice transmission to them anymore, so Ai Xue didn’t hide it anymore.
