Seduce The Villainess (GL)

Chapter 311 The Hunter Who Killed Immortals (62)



(Mount Xilean- Holy Sword Sect)

(Lower Mountain Range- Central Square)

Huang Wei looked in amazement as the saintess finished her speech.

He felt nervous just being here surrounded by thousands of other cultivators who all shared the same dream.

Every single one of them wanted to join the Holy Sword Sect.

The disciples belonging to this sect were not just powerful but also had a reputation for being paragons of justice and virtue.

And the saintess was everything that he had imagined her to be.

A mysterious figure who was obviously a beauty behind the mask covering her face and someone who also believed that with great power came...

A duty to help those in need.

Huang Wei's fingers curled up into a tight fist as he imagined becoming a mighty warrior and protecting the weak and helpless.

Unfortunately, not everyone responded quite so well to Xu Lu's speech about their mortal origins, but no one was crazy enough to actually voice their true thoughts.

It was a well-known fact that cultivators in the void stage and beyond could easily hear whispers even miles away.

The saintess was someone who held a very important position in the sect and some even considered her as one of the candidates for the position of sect leader.

Insulting her in front of the sect's elders was a sure-fire way to get immediately kicked out of the tests.

The saintess stepped back and her gorgeous master smiled sweetly at her apprentice with clear affection in her eyes.

What a strong bond between master and disciple!

Huang Wei looked on enviously at the pair as he secretly hoped that his future master would also treat him as kindly as Lei Ying treated her apprentice.

"Thank you, my dear apprentice, for your solemn words," Lei Ying declared in a passionate tone.

"It is important to remember that as members of the righteous faction it is very important that you watch your words and deeds."

"Should you join the Holy Sword Sect... you will represent the sect when you travel outside of these gates."

"Make sure to always conduct yourself with dignity and class."

Lei Ying finished her speech with a flourish of her hands and then turned to her apprentice and whispered something softly in her ears.

The saintess nodded slowly and then directed her floating sword towards a mountain peak towards the northernmost side of the sect.

Lei Ying waved at her goodbye and then focused on the cultivators on the ground who were all eagerly looking back at her.

She needed to send Xu Lu away because it was clear that she was drawing the attention of the future disciples and that sent a cold surge of jealousy up her heart.

Still... a small smile flashed across Lei Ying's face as she thought of an important fact that no one else knew except for herself.

Would these young cultivators still admire the saintess if they knew what an ugly little monster she was?

Of course, not... they would pity and despise her.

Lei Ying played with her fingers as she was briefly tempted to reveal her apprentice's true identity but pushed those thoughts back down in her mind.

Not yet... she couldn't play that card just yet.

No one knew the dark thoughts running through the beautiful female cultivator's mind since there was a gentle smile on her face.

"Now... let us begin the first test... climb up those stairs and whoever reaches the top will move on to the next stage," Lei Ying spoke loudly as she gestured towards the staircase.

The crowd moved in mass towards the stairway and one by one they began to climb up the magnificent stone stairs.

Huang Wei was at the front of the crowd, so he was one of the first to walk on the stairs. He placed one foot down and a tremendous amount of pressure fell on his body.

He took another step and blood began to slowly trickle down from his nose. The pressure and pain were unbearable... and this was just the second step!

Huang Wei heard a cry of pain and looked in the direction of the sound to see a girl collapse on the ground motionless.

Her chest still slowly rose and fell so she was clearly alive, but she was now in a state of unconsciousness.

One of the inner disciples supervising the ceremony walked over to the collapsed girl and took her away to the building set up as a temporary medical hall.

Huang Wei took another step as large beads of sweat began to run down the sides of his forehead.

No... he couldn't give up... his dreams... he wanted to be... a... a...

The young man's body staggered as the corners of his vision started to darken.

He tried desperately to stop himself from falling unconscious, but a wave of exhaustion washed over his mind.

The last image that Huang Wei saw was the ground hurtling towards him as his body slumped motionless on the staircase.

"Shame... that one had a good attitude," Elder Yang Bo remarked as he rubbed his chin and observed as an inner disciple removed the young man from the test.

"He had a good personality but... his talent was not enough. Considering that he only made it up to the third step, that meant that his spiritual roots were impure or clogged."

"He lacked the talent necessary to join one of the greatest sects in the entire continent."

Elder Yang Bo shook his head and focused on the other cultivators who were trying their best to walk up the stairs.

The higher up that they reached, the more pressure would fall on their bodies and prevent them from moving.

Still there were some who seemed unaffected by the pressure.

A skinny young woman with large bulging eyes walked up the stairs and reached the fiftieth step without any problem.

She stood at the peak and then her body vanished into thin air.

None of the elders seemed surprised by her sudden vanishing act since a rune had been engraved onto the surface of the last step.

A simple teleportation rune that would send successful candidates on to the second stage of the test.

Elder Yang Bo quickly made a note of the girl's appearance but knew that he would have to fight to get her as his apprentice.

The cultivators who made it up the stairs the fastest were always the ones with the most cultivation potential.

"Sorry old man but that girl is mine," a sharp voice interrupted the elder's musings.

"Elder Li Mei... what a surprise..." Elder Yang Bo replied without even looking at the direction of the sound.

"The fifth peak needs new alchemist... that girl has a talent in the field of pill making so forcing her to be a warrior would be a tremendous waste of her talents," Elder Li Mei replied sternly.

"And how do you know that?" Elder Yang Bo raised an eyebrow as he asked the question.

"I knew her father and he was a talented alchemist because of that she entered this test on my recommendation," Elder LI Mei responded with a hint of pride in her voice.

"The sect leader has already said that she belongs to me."

"Fine..." Elder Yang Bo grumbled under his breath as he kept his eyes peeled for other potential seedlings.
