Alliance: Start Suona, send away the stupid sister Zhou

They quickly crossed the grass and soon arrived in front of the huts. There were two guards patrolling at the door. When they saw them coming, they immediately drew their weapons and stood guard.

"Stop! This is a restricted area!" a guard shouted.

"Get out of the way!" Lin Feng shouted in a deep voice, and the flying sword in his hand flashed with light.

Seeing this, another guard immediately pulled out a talisman and wanted to cast a spell, but Yun Yao was one step faster. He flicked his finger lightly, and an ice-blue ice cone shattered his talisman.

"Hurry, don't give them any chance!" Rocky rushed forward with his sword, the sword light was like a dragon, heading straight for the opponent's throat.

The two guards were forced to retreat step by step by their powerful attack, and finally fell to the ground, losing their ability to fight.

"Go in!" Lin Feng led the way and rushed into one of the small rooms. The room was dark and small, with a stone platform in the middle, on which lay a weak girl, Liu Qing.

“Liu Qing!” Yun Yao rushed forward excitedly and gently shook her shoulders, “Liu Qing, we are here to save you!”

Liu Qing slowly opened his eyes and looked at the familiar face in front of him, with a hint of surprise and gratitude in his eyes. "How... did you find this place?"

"It's okay, Senior Sister." Lin Feng comforted her and took out the Soul-Calming Bell from his arms, "We will use this to remove your seal."

"This thing..." Liu Qing looked at the Soul-Calming Bell with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

"It was given to us by our master." The man in black explained, "Don't worry, everything will be fine."

Lin Feng carefully raised the soul-calming bell and gently struck it three times. The melodious sound of the bell echoed throughout the room, and a gentle and solemn power spread. The chains on Liu Qing's body gradually loosened and finally fell off, and her breathing gradually returned to normal.

"Thank you..." Liu Qing said weakly, his eyes full of gratitude.

"We need to leave here as soon as possible." The man in black reminded, "There is still danger outside."

"I'm fine, we can go." Liu Qing struggled to stand up. Although her body was still a little weak, her eyes were unusually firm.

"Okay, everyone get ready to go!" Lin Feng waved his hand.

Everyone helped Liu Qing out of the hut and quickly headed towards the exit of the secret realm. Along the way, they tried their best to avoid possible enemies and carefully crossed the woods and mountain streams.

"How do you feel?" Yun Yao asked with concern.

"Much better, but it will take some time to recover." Liu Qing smiled slightly, trying his best to appear stronger.

"Don't worry, we will escort you back to the sect safely." Rocky promised.

Led by the man in black, the group finally saw a glimmer of light at the exit of the secret realm. Just as they were about to step out of the secret realm, a slight sound of footsteps came over.

"Stop!" The man in black's voice suddenly became alert.

"Is it coming again?" Qin Yue frowned, holding the double blades in his hands to prepare for the response.

"Who is it?" Lin Feng asked in a deep voice, his eyes fixed on the exit.

Suddenly, a figure appeared under the shade of the tree near the exit, holding a long sword in his hand, and looking at them calmly.

"It's you guys." The familiar voice startled them. "I didn't expect you guys to actually do it."

"Senior Brother Li!" Yun Yao shouted in surprise.

Senior Brother Li walked forward with a smile, looking at everyone, especially Liu Qing, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes. "Thank you for your hard work, leave the rest to us."

"Why are you here?" Lin Feng asked curiously.

"I have been waiting here since I received the news." Senior Brother Li replied, "Well, your mission is complete. You can go back and rest in peace."

"That's great, now we can feel more at ease." Rocky breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you everyone!" Liu Qing said gratefully.

"You're welcome. This is our job." Senior Brother Li waved his hand. "Come on, come out with me."

The group followed Brother Li to the exit of the secret realm. The sun shone on their faces, bringing warmth and hope. But they knew that this adventure was not over yet, and there might be more challenges in the future.

"Let's go, let's face new challenges together." Lin Feng said with a firm look.

"That's right. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we must persevere to the end." Yun Yao agreed firmly.

"Well, keep it up." Rocky chuckled.

"Let's go, let's move forward together!" Lin Feng waved his hand and gave an order, and everyone took a step forward, heading towards a new future.

The group walked out of the secret realm. Under the sunny sky, the scenery of the sect was particularly pleasant. Lin Feng took a deep breath, feeling the fresh air, and his mood became much more relaxed.

"We are finally back." Yun Yao exclaimed, her eyes filled with joy.

"Yes, it's really not easy along the way." Rocky nodded in agreement.

"Everyone has worked hard, but the mission is not over yet." The man in black said solemnly, "Next, we have to participate in the sect trial and strive to be promoted to inner sect disciples."

Lin Feng nodded, secretly thinking about the upcoming trial. "How are we preparing?"

"I think we should be fine." Qin Yue patted his double blades confidently, "After so many battles, we are no longer the rookies we were before."

"Indeed," Liu Qing also added, "This experience has greatly improved our strength. I believe passing the trial should not be a problem."

"That's good." Lin Feng said to everyone with a smile, "Let's go back to the sect to report first, and then get ready."

They quickly returned to the sect and first found the sect master to report. After listening to their report, the sect master showed a gratified smile on his face.

"You have done very well. You are worthy of being the elite of our sect." The sect master praised, "Next, you will participate in this sect trial. If you pass, you can be officially promoted to inner disciples."

"Thank you, Sect Master!" Lin Feng and others thanked in unison.

After leaving the clan leader's residence, they returned to their respective residences and began to prepare for the upcoming trials. Lin Feng stood in his room, his heart full of fighting spirit.

"This time, I must succeed no matter what!" He said to himself silently. The next morning, the trial officially began. A large number of young disciples gathered in the sect square, and the atmosphere was tense and enthusiastic. Lin Feng, Yun Yao, Qin Yue, Luo Qi and Liu Qing stood in the front row of the team, encouraging each other.

"Come on everyone, we will definitely succeed!" Lin Feng said firmly.

"Well, let's work hard together!" Yun Yao nodded.

The first level of the trial was to find a designated treasure in a maze. With their experience in the secret realm, Lin Feng and his companions quickly mastered the trick and successfully found the treasure.

“The layout here is a bit similar to what we experienced in the secret realm,” Rocky said with a smile.

"Then it will be even easier for us." Qin Yue vowed.

Then, they went through a number of challenges including strength tests, magic duels, etc. In each competition, they performed extremely well and were praised by the elders of the sect.

At the last stage, he had to compete with the seniors in the sect. Lin Feng faced an old senior in the sect, whose strength far exceeded his own, but Lin Feng did not get scared and went all out.

"Come on, I won't let you down!" Lin Feng waved his flying sword and rushed forward.

The two fought fiercely on the court, and Lin Feng finally tied his opponent with his agility and decisiveness. The elders smiled and nodded with satisfaction.

After a series of trials, Lin Feng and others successfully passed the assessment and became the inner disciples of the sect. They stood on the high platform and watched the sect master announce the results, their hearts filled with pride and joy.

"Congratulations, from now on, you are real inner disciples!" the sect leader announced loudly.

"Thank you, Sect Master!" Lin Feng bowed to the Sect Master on behalf of everyone else to express his gratitude.

After the trial, Lin Feng and others returned to their residence and shared the joy of victory with each other.

"It's great, we finally succeeded!" Yun Yao said excitedly.

"This is just the beginning, there is still a long way to go." Lin Feng said seriously, "We must continue to work hard and become stronger."

"That's right, we still have a lot to do." Qin Yue said firmly.

Lin Feng looked around and saw the burning fighting spirit and determined gaze in everyone's eyes, and a warm current surged in his heart. He knew that this group of partners were his strong backing.

"Let's go have a meal to celebrate first, and then discuss the next plan." Lin Feng suggested.

"Good idea! I'm starving!" Yun Yao said with a smile.

They came to the sect's cafeteria and sat down at a large table. As soon as they sat down, the food was quickly served. Everyone enjoyed the food while discussing the next task.

"The status of inner disciples is certainly important, but we can't let it get us off our guard." Liu Qing put down his chopsticks and said seriously, "There will be more challenges in the future, and we must work harder."

"That's right, Senior Sister Liu. We must seize the time to practice and constantly improve our strength." Qin Yue nodded.

"I also feel that, especially in the strength test, my strength is far from enough." Rocky said somewhat ashamedly.

"Don't worry, we can help each other and make progress together." Lin Feng patted Rocky's shoulder and encouraged him.

After dinner, several people returned to their respective residences to rest for a while. Lin Feng sat alone in the room, thinking back on the experiences of the past few days, and couldn't help but feel overwhelmed. He knew that he still had a long way to go, but with the support of this group of partners, he felt more confident than ever before.

In the evening, they gathered together again to discuss the specific training plan. Yun Yao suggested: "Why don't we make a detailed schedule and do various training and exercises every day, so the effect will be better."

"Good idea. This will help improve our efficiency." Liu Qing nodded in agreement.

After some discussion, they finally decided on a detailed training plan. Everyone clearly defined their goals and tasks for each time period. This plan not only covered the content of individual training, but also included some group cooperation projects to enhance mutual understanding and trust.

In the following days, Lin Feng and his companions strictly followed the plan, practicing martial arts and cultivating skills during the day, and studying secret theories at night. Although it was extremely hard, with constant persistence and tempering, their cultivation had made great progress.

One afternoon, they finished a tough strength training and sat under the shade of a tree to rest. Qin Yue panted and said, "I'm so tired today, but I feel full of strength."

"That's right. As long as we persist, we will definitely reach a higher level." Rocky wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Lin Feng, do you have any new insights recently?" Yun Yao suddenly asked.

Lin Feng smiled slightly: "Yes, I have begun to understand the integration of swordsmanship and state of mind. This requires us to constantly polish our hearts while practicing."

Everyone felt that they benefited a lot after listening to the lecture, and they also shared their experiences during this period.

Suddenly, a herald came over and said hurriedly, "Everyone, please go to the Sect Master's Hall immediately. The Sect Master has something important to announce."

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what would happen. Lin Feng stood up first and said, "Let's go. Since the Sect Master wants to see us, let's go and take a look."

The group followed the herald to the Sect Master's Hall, where they saw the Sect Master standing in the middle of the hall, surrounded by several elders. The Sect Master saw them coming and said solemnly, "I summoned you here because there is a very important matter that needs to be entrusted to you to complete."

Lin Feng took a step forward, bowed and said, "Master, please give us your orders. We will do our best."

"Very good," the clan leader nodded with satisfaction. "In recent days, an unknown force has invaded the villages near our clan, and many innocent people have been harmed. I hope you can go and investigate and solve this problem."

"Don't worry, Sect Leader. We will definitely find out the truth and protect the safety of the villagers." Yun Yao said in a sonorous and powerful voice.

The clan leader nodded and smiled, watching them leave. Before leaving, Liu Qing looked back at the clan leader with a firm gaze: "We will not let you down."

Walking on the road to the village, everyone felt a little heavy. After all, this mission was not just a simple test, but related to the safety of many people. But they were full of determination, no matter what dangers were waiting ahead, they were not afraid.

"No matter what, we must protect those innocent people." Lin Feng said in a firm tone.

"Yes, we can definitely do it." Yun Yao clenched his fists and said firmly.

"Then let's do it!" Qin Yue waved his hands excitedly, as if he had rehearsed it countless times in his mind.

The group walked quickly through the familiar forest and headed towards the nearby village. The air was filled with a tense atmosphere, and everyone was silently preparing in their hearts. Finally, they arrived at the entrance of the village and saw many villagers gathered together, looking anxious.

"It seems that the situation here is more serious than we thought." Liu Qing said with a frown.

Lin Feng nodded and led everyone into the crowd. "Fellow villagers, what happened here?" (End of this chapter)
