Chapter 2023: Searching for a Protector – Zhang Ling's Opportunity!

"who are they?"

"I don't know. He's a new face, and his aura is somewhat similar to Jiang Shan's. He's most likely from the Green Forest Era."

"If we want this person to help, Feng Ran will probably have to make the trip himself."

Upon receiving this answer, Meng De immediately said, "In that case, I'll go and talk to Senior Jiang Shan about it."

"Even if he is unwilling to take action, perhaps he can get the person that Senior Yidao mentioned to do so."

"It's no use!"

Faced with Meng De's suggestion, Liu Yidao immediately rejected it.

"This level of trial will not only mean that you will face a near-death experience, but your protectors will also face a near-death experience."

“You’re not a member of the Green Forest Era, and you don’t have a strong connection with Jiang Shan. You can’t expect people to risk their lives to protect you just because of a few words.”

"Although the Five Tigers Group has invested in you, given your current situation, it is impossible for Jiang Shan to risk his life for you."

"You can't even get Jiang Shan's capable henchmen to risk their lives for you."

"If you want them to be your protectors, you have to talk to them in person. As for how to persuade them, that's your own business."

As he spoke, Liu Yidao took out a slip of paper and handed it to Feng Ran.

“Those men have been reassigned by the master to guard the checkpoint; you can go to this place to find them.”

"Jiangshan is not currently in the Longevity Era. You only have one month. It's highly likely that it will be too late to go looking for him now."

"So this is your last hope now, whether it works or not depends on your fate."

"If you can't persuade that person to come out of seclusion, you don't need to look for any other quasi-emperors."

"Because that place is a death sentence for ordinary quasi-emperors."

Looking at the note in his hand, Feng Ran bowed and said, "Thank you for your guidance, senior!"

After saying that, Feng Ran turned and left.

"Senior, according to this order, shouldn't you help me choose a protector?"

Meng De smiled and said something, and Liu Yidao glanced at him and said, "You don't need my help, because your protector has already arrived."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yin Jie walked over from a distance.

Upon seeing Yin Jie's appearance, Meng De's heart skipped a beat.

Although Vice Dean Yin is a quasi-emperor of this era and the current Emperor Yin, his current strength is only at the third level of quasi-emperor, and he has even been defeated once in a cosmic black hole.

Since the Imperial Tutor had set up a deadly trap, Mengde naturally wanted to find a master among masters within the available resources.

Now that Vice President Yin has "volunteered," I'm really in a dilemma.

"If you die, I'll be with you. Do you have any other questions?"

Upon approaching Mengde, Yin Jie spoke first.

Upon hearing this, Meng De sighed helplessly and said, "I am deeply honored that the Yin Emperor is willing to risk his life to protect the Dao!"

"Since you agree, let's go."

"A month is enough time to get a lot done."

After saying that, Yin Jie took Meng De and left.

However, before he had taken more than a few steps, Yin Jie suddenly stopped.

"Senior, do you think I can pass this test?"

In response to Yin Jie's question, Liu Yidao grinned and said, "Your father is a powerful figure in this world, why are you asking me about this?"

"Those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly. I'd really like to hear your answer, senior."

"You're far inferior to your father. Bring in more magical treasures, or you'll be doomed."

Meng De: “…”

Senior, if you say that, I'm starting to panic!

"Okay, I understand. Thank you for your guidance, senior."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yin Jie and Meng De disappeared from the spot.

Seeing Meng De's anxious look, Zhang Ling smiled subconsciously.

"What are you laughing at? Do you think you don't need protectors anymore?"

Liu Yidao's sudden rebuke startled Zhang Ling.

"Senior, my virtual world is gone, so this matter doesn't seem to concern me."

"Your virtual world is indeed gone, but the sir didn't prevent you from gaining one again."

"People will definitely die in the second level, and it might be a lot of them."

"When they die, the spots will naturally become vacant. Don't you want to regain your virtual world qualification then?"

Faced with Liu Yidao's words, Zhang Ling was speechless for a moment.

Because he really wanted to regain his place in the virtual world.

"Senior, can I do this?"

"It's highly unlikely. Your strength is roughly equal to theirs."

"If too many people die in the second checkpoint, you won't get any special results even if you go in."

"But given the character of your generation, you'd probably give it a try even if it meant death."

"Since you don't think I have a high chance of success, why did you remind me?"

"Because I'm bad!"

Liu Yidao smiled smugly and said, "I love watching people like you fall tragically."

"If you ignore this, where else am I supposed to find such an interesting show?"

"I am currently actively learning this kind of method that can openly and legitimately drive people to their deaths."

Zhang Ling: "......"

I don't know why, but I really want to slap you twice.

......

Time passed little by little.

A month passed in the blink of an eye, and at the moment the agreed time ended, all the Qilin communicators received a message.

Ten thousand years ago, five spiritual objects were scattered across the world, one of which fell into the hands of a mysterious being.

This mysterious being cultivates using spiritual objects and has simultaneously gathered a group of ruthless and vicious individuals.

For the sake of all living beings, the virtual world cordially invites talented individuals to eradicate the evil lord and restore peace to the world...

The announcement from the virtual world caused another uproar in both the Longevity Era and the Pill Era.

The previous journey through the cosmic black hole had given them a glimpse of countless spectacular battles, and now the second trial was about to begin. How could cultivators across the land not be excited?

Moreover, having learned from the previous experience, many high-level cultivators completed their top-ups ahead of time this time.

I'm just waiting for the trial to start so I can make a good appearance in the live stream.

However, unlike the excitement of many cultivators, those prodigies who were preparing to participate in the second trial were filled with worry.

"Sir, you really have a knack for making up stories."

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I probably would have believed it too."

Looking at the content on the communicator, Mo Bai smiled and said something.

Upon hearing this, Li Changsheng said, "Brother Mo Bai, we're about to face a life-or-death situation, aren't you nervous at all?"

"Do you want to hear the truth?"

Looking into Mo Bai's eyes, Li Changsheng's lips twitched.

"No need, because I already know what you're going to say."

"You must be thinking, 'I, Mo Bai, am invincible, so I have nothing to fear!'"

"Hahaha!"

"Fellow Daoist is indeed wise; you guessed it right away!"

Li Changsheng: “…”

That's too arrogant. If I could beat you, I would definitely teach you a lesson.

He secretly complained to himself as the other geniuses who possessed virtual worlds also arrived one after another.

Behind them were quasi-emperors.
