The melon-eating onlookers outside the Heaven-and-Earth Banner were once again shocked by Feng Xi's outrageous operation!
Xiao Baidao counted on his fingers, this time his little disciple had made a fortune!
Not to mention anything else, the spiritual stones inside the formation plates and control plates weren't low-grade spiritual stones, they were all high-grade spiritual stones. One was worth ten thousand low-grade spiritual stones.
Plus the rewards…
The old man's eyelashes were practically blooming with joy!
His precious disciple was indeed the indigo that was taken from the indigo plant, yet is bluer than the indigo plant (1), better at making money than he was!
What others were focused on was that the sword technique Feng Xi used later didn't seem to be the Xuantian Sword Technique.
The moves looked ordinary, but the points of impact were strange and unpredictable. Could it really be a new sword technique she had figured out herself?
If so, her comprehension of the sword dao would be too astonishing!
Shadow Demon Clan elder Ying Qianli thought of what he had said earlier and felt his face burn red.
But upon second thought, a Qi Refining Stage little waste couldn't possibly have such ability. It must've been something Xiao Baidao devised and now used to add glory to his disciple!
Yes, that must be it!
Some humans thought the same as well.
For example, Baili Muchen.
He thought to himself that Xiao Baidao really cared about this Feng Xi. Since her cultivation had been stagnant, perhaps he wanted to give her the title of sword dao genius?
Unfortunately, no matter how exquisite one's swordsmanship was, if cultivation is lacking, it's useless.
Zhilan was still superior!
At this moment, many had already obtained jade tokens and were waiting for the next trial to open.
Xing Wu had long passed the trial. After waiting for a while, he finally saw Feng Xi emerge.
From her expression, she was clearly in a good mood. She even cast a Shield Technique on herself in advance, waiting to receive rewards.
Xing Wu watched as Feng Xi was once again buried alive by a pile of rewards.
His grave-digging skills were becoming increasingly proficient. In just a few moves, he pulled Feng Xi out.
As usual, Feng Xi let him pick a few items he liked and stored the rest in her storage ring.
With a look of emotion, she said to Xing Wu, "Senior Brother Xing Wu, I was narrow-minded before. The Heaven-and-Earth Banner is truly a banner that values integrity and keeps its promises!
I can't wait to enter the fifth trial!"
Xing Wu: "..."
I think you can't wait to hug a few more rewards!
What the two didn't expect was that when the scene changed, they saw Jun Wen and the others.
Jun Wen froze for a moment, then immediately rushed over!
"Little Junior Sister! I knew you'd be fine!
How did you get in?"
Jiang Ji hurried over as well.
Feng Xi sighed, "I didn't want to come in, but the Heaven-and-Earth Banner shamelessly insisted on inviting me in. I also had no choice!
Did you just pass the fourth trial too?"
Jiang Ji nodded and asked with concern, "Little Junior Sister, did you pass the previous trials smoothly? Were there any obstacles?"
Feng Xi sighed again, "There were quite a few obstacles, I wasted a lot of time in each trial.
Now that I've joined up with you, I'm relieved. From here on, I'll rely on you."
Jiang Ji was an honest child and believed her, he racked his brain trying to comfort Feng Xi.
Xing Wu beside them: "..."
She did waste a lot of time, because she was hugging rewards!
While thinking this, Jun Wen asked him with a hostile expression, "Why are you with Little Junior Sister?"
Xing Wu raised his eyebrows, "Fate! Wherever Little Junior Sister is, I'm there!
You don't know, do you? Little Junior Sister gave me many good things…"
Seeing his smug look, Jun Wen was enraged and swung a punch.
Xing Wu was no pushover either, soon the two were fighting.
They didn't use spiritual qi, just fists and kicks. When angered, they even bit each other.
Qin Shifeng and Jiang Ji, who hurried over: "..."
No matter how they tried to persuade them, Jun Wen and Xing Wu acted as if they hadn't heard and continued fighting.
Feng Xi said leisurely, "Eldest Senior Brother, Brother Qin, why bother meddling? Let them fight!
They won't knock each other's brains out anyway!
People who only know how to fight among themselves might as well be sent to mine!"
Jun Wen and Xing Wu immediately stopped fighting and even hugged each other.
Qin Shifeng: "..."
Jiang Ji: "..."
At this moment, the scene changed.
The fifth trial began.
The Great Dao is ruthless!
In front of each person appeared the most important person in their life. To pass, they had to kill them.
In front of Jiang Ji, Jun Wen, and Feng Xi appeared the same person, Xiao Baidao, their master.
Outside the Heaven-and-Earth Banner, Xiao Baidao's nose stung and his eyes reddened.
Beside him, Hu Wankui's nose almost twisted with anger!
Because the one who appeared in front of Xing Wu was Feng Xi!
This unfilial disciple!
When you come out, I will deal with you!
Among the others, some saw masters, some saw parents, some saw beloved ones.
In front of Shen Zhilan, however, no figure appeared for a long time. After a while, the figure of Baili Muchen appeared.
Baili Muchen also didn't think much of it. Perhaps the Heaven-and-Earth Banner had been severely tricked by Feng Xi and was experiencing delay.
Xing Wu scratched his head.
"Little Junior Sister, even knowing this is fake, I can't bring myself to do it!"
The others were the same.
Even the demon elites looked troubled.
Outside, the melon-eating onlookers sighed that this trial was viciously designed.
But these children would have to pass this challenge sooner or later.
Otherwise, if in the future they fell into an illusion and, even knowing the other party was fake, couldn't bring themselves to strike because of a familiar face, that would be disastrous.
At this moment, Feng Xi weakly raised her little hand.
"Demon friends, I have a very small suggestion. How about we exchange assassination targets?
We kill demons, you kill humans!"
Everyone's eyes lit up!
That's right!
As long as they exchanged, there wouldn't be any psychological burden!
So the human and demon sides switched positions.
Blood splattered without the slightest hesitation!
Especially Ying Feilong, who deliberately chose "Feng Xi".
Even after killing, he wasn't satisfied and set her on fire for cremation!
Feng Xi: "..."
Little Red, just you wait!
Sooner or later I'll make you kneel and call me ancestor!
The reason this rascal changed from "dad" to "ancestor" was because there's no term for "dad" here. If she said it, the other party wouldn't understand.
That would make her… seem impolite.
The melon-eating onlookers outside were once again stunned!
Just how does Feng Xi come up with these rotten ideas?!
But doesn't this count as violating the rules?
Of course Feng Xi knew it violated the rules. But when the law doesn't punish the masses, what could the Heaven-and-Earth Banner do? Eliminate everyone?
No matter what, she didn't want Xiao Baidao to see the scene of being killed by his own disciples.
Even if she knew it was fake!

(1)'The indigo that was taken from the indigo plant, yet is bluer than the indigo plant'
Famous Chinese idiom that means the student surpasses the master. Came from the full idiom by Confucian philosopher Xunzi (荀子) in his essay 'Encouraging Learning' or "勸學": Indigo is taken from the indigo plant, yet it is bluer than the indigo plant; ice is made from water, yet it is colder than water.
