"Lord Chen Jian?"

The sudden voice ringing in his ears startled Luo Su.

Instinctively, he raised his arm to cover the image in his arms.

But such a move couldn't escape the eyes of the middle-aged Immortal King.

"What is that?"

Chen Jian asked.

Luo Su tensed his body. He didn't want others to discover what Tang Tian had done, but facing one of the two managers of the initiation ceremony, he also understood that continuing to hide was not feasible.

After thinking for a moment, Luo Su took out the image of Tang Tian.

"Lord Chen, I am... monitoring a rather special disciple."

"He is just an honorary disciple, but he has extraordinary luck and has never been discovered by hunters."

"Now, he has safely reached the edge of the eighth mountain range."

Luo Su fabricated a loophole-filled excuse.

Naturally, Chen Jian wouldn't believe his words. After glancing at him, he looked at the scene in the image.

A young cultivator was leisurely leaning against a big tree, enjoying the breeze and sun while munching on melon seeds.

Above his head, nine purple stars were shining brightly.

"Hmm?"

Chen Jian immediately recognized Tang Tian.

Because Tang Tian was the only honorary disciple who could stand steadily when he first released pressure.

Just now, he had looked at all the disciples in the first group, but couldn't find the one who could eliminate all the hunters in four mountain ranges.

In that case, Tang Tian was perhaps the most likely one.

Looking at Tang Tian's current position, where he had left the other promoted disciples far behind, Chen Jian became even more certain of his inner speculation.

"Luo Su."

Chen Jian spoke, "I remember you are from the Good and Evil Hall, the Good Nine Hall, right?"

Luo Su was taken aback, then nodded and forced a smile, "Lord Chen... you truly see through everything."

Chen Jian smiled and suddenly changed the topic, "Your Hall Master Lv should be on his way, right?"

Luo Su's body stiffened, instinctively wanting to cover up.

But he quickly understood that since Chen Jian could guess this far, he must have already guessed that Tang Tian was the one causing the sensation.

"Lord Chen... I apologize."

"I must do my best to find outstanding talents for the Good and Evil Hall. This is the purpose of their sacrifice to bring me here."

Luo Su lowered his posture and spoke truthfully.

Chen Jian lightly snorted, "So, it is indeed Tang Tian who eliminated so many hunters?"

Luo Su nodded.

At this point, further concealment was meaningless.

Moreover, his goal had been achieved. In the upcoming competition among disciples, they had already gained a certain advantage.

So, it was better to be frank.

Although Chen Jian's strength and status were higher than his, with the Good and Evil Hall behind him, Luo Su was not afraid of him.

"So his name is Tang Tian."

Luo Su said, "Then, Lord Chen, should I release the image?"

Chen Jian looked at Luo Su without responding to his question.

After a moment, he lightly patted Luo Su's shoulder.

"Let's not make a fuss for now."

"After the Nine Ridges, there is still the Immortal Staircase."

"During this time, everyone should prepare on their own."

"After all the initiation ceremonies are over, it will be decided based on individual abilities."

"At that time, we will decide Tang Tian's affiliation."

Chen Jian said.

Luo Su smiled and nodded.

In fact, he also understood that Chen Jian had the same goal as him, both wanting to gain an advantage, so he definitely didn't want this news to spread quickly.

Unfortunately, he now had another competitor.

The two reached an agreement in private, and Chen Jian prepared to leave.

Everyone is looking for Tang Tian now. If he stays in the same place for too long, he will definitely arouse suspicion from others.

However, just as he turned around, a familiar face appeared before his eyes.

"Tang Tian?"

"Mr. Chen, this name is not on the list you gave me."

The person who came was the elderly Immortal King.

Looking at the other party's ambiguous gaze, Chen Jian sighed inwardly.

This old guy really doesn't give up.

"Mr. Peng, please don't mention this."

"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have found him now."

Chen Jian said.

The Immortal King with the surname Peng stroked his beard and said, "So, it's confirmed that it's him?"

Chen Jian nodded.

"For now, only you and I, and this Fellow Daoist from the Good and Evil Hall, know about this matter."

"So..."

"You should understand what I mean."

The Immortal King Peng glanced at Luo Su beside him and said, "The Hall of Good and Evil, right?"

"They are not easy opponents either."

"Alright, let's leave it at that."

"Let's not interfere with each other and see which family this genius will ultimately end up with."

After saying that, he turned and left directly.

Afterwards, Chen Jian didn't stay long either. He glanced warningly at Luo Su and flew away.

Watching their figures, Luo Su smiled bitterly.

They are all formidable opponents with deep backgrounds.

If even they value him so much, Tang Tian may be even more valuable than I imagined.

No, I have to inform the hall master and have her prepare more conditions, so as not to be easily taken away by them.

With this in mind, Luo Su transmitted another message to their hall master.

Then, he hid the scene and waited for the end of the Nine Ridges Trial.

...

Time flew by.

After Tang Tian cleared the four mountain ridges, the speed of the ascenders made a qualitative leap.

In less than a class hour, someone arrived at the edge of the eighth mountain ridge.

Tang Tian noticed that the ascenders who arrived here first were basically all core disciples of the first team.

There is still a gap in strength.

They seemed quite confused after not encountering any hunters in four consecutive mountain ridges.

But no matter what happened, the Life Nurturing Pills on their bodies were indeed keeping them safe.

Even if they were unlucky and had their lives taken away by hunters every time they encountered one, they still had four lives guaranteed.

What is there to fear?

Without much thought, the ascenders directly rushed into the last mountain ridge.

However, shortly after they entered, Tang Tian heard the sound of intense fighting.

He did not clear the ninth ridge.

Even if it was the final test for the ascenders.

As a person, one must not be blinded by the comfort in front of them.

Listening to the distant sound of battle, Tang Tian stood up straight, stretched lazily, and started moving.

His speed was not very fast, but he avoided all the hunters in the ninth ridge.

Before long, he arrived at the edge of the ninth ridge.

Outside, a glowing portal was quietly suspended there.

That was the passage to the outside world.

Tang Tian could already imagine what kind of lively scene it would be when he walked out.

"I am ready to welcome the attention of the world."

Tang Tian smiled slightly and took a step forward.
