BXBX NOVEL Chapter 54 - 54: If I Were a Woman
One day later.
The Great Mystery Sect was right before his eyes.
Su Chen stood on the long sword and looked in the direction of the Great Mystery Sect. He kept thinking about what Ye Ruxue had said.
The inner sect test was dangerous?
What kind of danger was there?
Ye Ruxue didn’t tell him the details, so Su Chen could only guess.
“Did the Everlasting Sect invade?”
Su Chen thought about it carefully.
The only sect near the Great Mystery Sect was the Everlasting Sect.
The two forces were incompatible like fire and water.
The Everlasting Sect had been thinking about how to suppress and destroy the Great Mystery Sect.
However, the Dachu Dynasty explicitly prohibited various sects to kill each other.
If the Everlasting Sect really dared to kill the inner sect disciples of the Great Mystery Sect, the royal family of the Dachu Dynasty would probably be the first to attack the Everlasting Sect.
“If it’s not the Everlasting Sect, then could it be a beast tide?”
There were still many demonic beasts in the Great Mystery Mountains.
But few of them were powerful.
After all, the Great Mystery Mountains were the headquarters of the Great Mystery Sect. The sect would not allow any powerful demonic beasts to exist.
The sect elders usually killed every single one of them to avoid the appearance of high-level demonic beasts.
Excluding the Everlasting Sect and the beast tide, Su Chen really couldn’t think of any other dangers.
Being only a hundred miles away from the Great Mystery Sect, Su Chen put away his sword and traveled toward the mountain gate through the air.
Before he reached the mountain gate, a few pale-faced figures in bloodstained white clothes supporting each other instantly attracted Su Chen’s attention.
These people were wearing the uniform of the inner sect disciples of the Great Mystery Sect.
Behind them, there was another disciple who was in an even more miserable state. He was lying straight on a stretcher, and his entire body was bandaged up like a mummy.
He was carried by the other two inner sect disciples moving towards the mountain gate.
“Something really happened!”
Su Chen’s heart sank at the scene. He walked to the front of the inner disciples with a serious expression and said in a deep voice, “Senior and junior brothers, what happened? Why did you become like this?”
“S…Senior Brother Su Chen!
The moment Su Chen showed up, the disciple who was wrapped up like a mummy shouted excitedly.
Then, he stretched out his hand and grabbed at Su Chen.
“Junior Brother, Junior Brother! Let’s talk about it slowly. Calm down!”
Su Chen was shocked by his sudden move. He took two steps back and took out a healing pill from his storage ring.
“You are severely injured. I happen to have a healing pill here, I’ll give it to you.”
While talking, Su Chen handed the pill to an inner disciple carrying the injured.
“S…Senior Brother Su Chen, it’s me! I’m Duan Cheng!”
The disciple who was wrapped up like a mummy said excitedly with tears in his eyes
“Uhh…uhh… Senior Brother Su Chen, you’re really too kind! If I were a woman, I would definitely give my heart to you!”
“Uh…”
Su Chen’s face darkened as he looked at Duan Cheng with disdain.
Then, he carefully sized up Duan Cheng.
No wonder his voice sounded familiar. It was Duan Cheng, the junior brother who also participated in the outer sect trial along with Su Chen!
Su Chen still had some impression of Duan Cheng and remembered that Duan Cheng was the first disciple to go up to the stage to participate in the trial. He had a middle-grade upper-class talent.
However, his entire body was now wrapped in bandages, so Su Chen did not recognize him immediately.
“So it’s Junior Brother Duan! Forget about giving your heart to me. If you have time, you should pay more attention to your injuries.”
After saying that, Su Chen turned to look at the other inner sect disciples and asked in a deep voice, “Isn’t today the day of the inner sect test? Why are you all injured?”
To be honest, each time there were many inner sect disciples who got injured in an inner sect test.
There were even one or two unlucky inner disciples who were seriously injured.
However, it was rare for everyone to be injured like today.
One had to know that there were no less than 1,000 participants in each inner sect test of the Great Mystery Sect.
Now, there were seven or eight disciples in front of the mountain gate!
It was only an hour or two before the test began.
Su Chen had a bad feeling.
Did the others all die?
If that was really the case, then Ye Ruxue’s reminder came true.
Moreover, the severity of the situation had completely gone beyond his imagination!
“They are the dark creatures!”
An inner sect disciple said with a solemn expression.
“Dark creatures?”
Su Chen raised his eyebrows and repeated in a low voice.
He had read about this race in an ancient book by chance.
The dark creatures came from the outer domain, the place outside this world. They were very powerful and extremely difficult to kill.
Tens of thousands of years ago, there was a large-scale invasion of the dark creatures.
In the end, numerous large factions joined hands to crush them and chase them out of this world.
Who would have thought that after 10,000 years, dark creatures showed up near the Great Mystery Sect!
“That’s right, the dark creatures!”
The inner sect disciple who spoke just now nodded grimly and continued, “A gate suddenly appeared on our way to the trial. Countless dark creatures rushed out from it, catching us off guard. Fortunately, Senior Brother Wang led the team this time and sent us out at the critical moment.”
“Senior Brother Wang?”
Su Chen tried to rub up his memory
However, he had no impression of this person.
If his guess was correct, the Senior Brother Wang just mentioned should be the leading disciple of this inner sect test!
He should be a core disciple!
This was the rule of every inner sect test of the Great Mystery Sect!
The reason why Senior Brother Wang wasn’t an elder of the sect but a core disciple was that the inner sect test was held in the Great Mystery Mountains, and the Great Mystery Mountains were right in front of the Great Mystery Sect.
It was equivalent to a test on the doorstep. There was really no need to send out an elder.
After all, the children could be seen at the door, why should the parents follow them closely?
Moreover, inner sect disciples were not children at all.
The inner sect test was mainly to train the inner sect disciples’ combat capabilities. It was already very good to send a core disciple to follow them.
“Senior Brother Su Chen, we still have to ask the sect ciders for help, so we won’t stay here any longer.”
The inner sect disciple cupped his hands slightly and said quickly.
At this moment, there were still many inner sect disciples in the Great Mystery Mountains being besieged by dark creatures. If they wasted one more second here, another inner sect disciple might die.
They really didn’t dare to waste time here.
Hearing this, Su Chen’s heart skipped a beat.
He knew that his chance had come!
Wasn’t this the best time to build trust?
If he could seize this opportunity, he would definitely be able to improve greatly!
