Evil Spirit Forest was one of the four most fearsome places in the Heavenly Moon Empire. There were spiritual beasts at the exceptional state even in the outskirts of the forest. The further one goes into the forest, they will encounter even more fearsome spiritual beasts. It was said that there were spiritual beasts at the late-stage of the refined state in the Evil Spirit Forest.
Hence, even a cultivator at the refined state would not dare to set foot alone into the Evil Spirit Forest.
At this moment, a small group of seven was making their way through the thistles and thorns in this forest.
A woman and a man were walking shoulder to shoulder within the group and stood out amongst the rest.
The woman was dressed in green robes. She has delicate features and her dark, fine hair, cascaded like a waterfall as it fluttered gently in the breeze. Her eyes were as still as icy water and her delicate were emotionless the entire time.
On the other hand, the man by her side was dressed in peach-pink robes. His face was like a peach blossom and could bring entire countries to ruin. That evil smile of his was the very definition of being unmatched in his generation.
These two were Gu Ruoyun and Zuo Shangchen who have impressively managed to enter the Evil Spirit Forest for cultivation.
Of course, aside from these two, the others looked crestfallen. Even Li Qing, who was also viewed with disdain, felt the same as well.
"How unfortunate to end up with three good-for-nothings! We're going to lose this competition for sure!"
The man named Dong Fang exclaimed vexingly.
He really could not understand what sin he had committed to end up in the same group as three good-for-nothings!
"Forget it, Dong Fang." Another man, who was dressed in loose and comfortable robes, glanced at Gu Ruoyun and Zuo Shangchen behind him and consoled Dong Fang, "Even if we do lose, it's no big deal. The Heavenly Moon Empire holds this competition every year anyway so we can always come again next year. There's nothing wrong with that, right?"
It was obvious that the man in loose and comfortable robes had accepted the situation. As long as Gu Ruoyun and the other two were here, they would undoubtedly lose in the elimination round!
"Are you admitting defeat?" Dong Fang scoffed and replied irritably, "I'm certainly not like Sir Li of the General's Mansion who had someone register for him! I relied on my own success to pass the registration. This is the first time I'm participating in this competition so I certainly don't want to end up eliminated in the first round."
Dong Fang's words caused the expression of the people around him to change drastically.
Even though they looked down on Li Qing, the latter was, unfortunately, the son of the General's Mansion. They have great power. If the General heard about this, it would bring great trouble to them!
Someone glanced at Li Qing when they arrived at that thought.
It was obvious that after hearing what Dong Fang had said, Li Qing's expression turned rather furious. However, he forced it all down in the end.
This was not the Imperial City of the Heavenly Moon Empire and he does not have his father to support him. He could not end up in a dispute with another at a time like this. Otherwise, it would be too much of a waste for him to end up dead in a place like this!
"I'm indeed useless but fortune has favored me even more to have a General for a father. If you have the ability, why don't you choose a better family?!"
Even though Li Qing had controlled his temper, he could not stop himself from making a sarcastic comment.
Dong Fang's gaze sank. If anyone else had dared to speak to him in such a manner, he would have reacted with force by now. However, the other party was the son of the General's Mansion. Even though the General was not present, he could not touch Li Qing!
Therefore, Dong Fang, who did not dare to vent his rage upon Li Qing, directed his anger upon Gu Ruoyun and Zuo Shangchen.
"Good-for-nothings are good-for-nothings. Passing the registration process does not prove your power! Out of the both of you, one had entered through underhanded means just like Li Qing and the other had merely run into some good luck. If the spirit stone had not been at the point of breaking then, do you think that you'd be able to join the elimination contest? If you had not joined the elimination contest, our group would not have turned out to be so weak!"
