Chapter 332: The God of Transformation (First update, please vote)
[Damn! I didn't expect that evil star would come. I hope I won't run into him after entering the bloody forbidden land.]

When Han Li looked around and saw that Xiao Feng was also in the trial team, he was suddenly frightened and subconsciously protected the disciples beside him.

???

The white-haired old disciple was slightly startled when he noticed Han Li's little move, then he bowed to him and said, "I am honored to receive your greetings. May I ask what is your name, Junior Brother?"

"I am Li..."

Han Li was halfway through his words when he suddenly realized that he was inside the sect. He smiled and bowed and replied, "I am Han Li, nice to meet Senior Brother Xiang."

"Junior Brother Han, I have just observed that among the disciples participating in the Blood Trial this time, including you and me, there are only three disciples in the eleventh level of the Qi Refining Stage."

Xiang Zhili said seriously, "After entering the Blood Forbidden Land, if we encounter his disciples, we, the weaker disciples, will have the highest chance of dying. How about we all form a team together?"

"Sorry! I'm not used to working with others. If you want to team up with others, you should find other brothers!"

Upon hearing this, Han Li rejected Xiang Zhili's invitation to join a team without hesitation.

Ever since he almost had his body possessed by Mo Juren, Han Li no longer dared to trust others easily, let alone team up with Xiang Zhili, whom he met for the first time.

Seeing Han Li's decisive refusal, Xiang Zhili had no intention of forcing him. He shook his head helplessly and went to look for other disciples to form a team.

Just as Han Li watched Xiang Zhili leave, he subconsciously looked in the direction of Xiao Feng, but happened to meet Xiao Feng's amusement gaze.

!!!

Han Li shuddered all over, feeling his heart in his throat, and shifted his gaze calmly.

[Damn it! Why is that guy targeting me? Did he find out something? ]

At this time, Han Li didn't know that Xiao Feng's real target of attention was not him, but Xiang Zhili who had just spoken to him.

Xiang Zhili is apparently a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage, but in fact he is a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage, one of the top combat forces in the human world.

The reason why Xiang Zhili disguised himself as a disciple of Huangfeng Valley was because the owner of the Blood Forbidden Land was a powerful person in the ancient times who was in the God Transformation Stage.

The ancient forbidden formation outside the Blood Forbidden Land is difficult to break into even for a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage.

If Xiang Zhili insisted on breaking in by force, even if he succeeded, it would consume hundreds of years of his lifespan, which would be a loss.

That's why Xiang Zhili disguised himself as a disciple of Huangfeng Valley, preparing to take advantage of the ancient forbidden formation outside the Blood Forbidden Land, which fell into a weak period once every five years, and then enter the Blood Forbidden Land to look for possible space nodes.

Just when Han Li, who was feeling guilty, was feeling uneasy, the sect leader Zhong Lingdao finally arrived, attracting everyone's attention.

Zhong Lingdao first said a few simple words of encouragement to everyone, and then asked two disciples holding trays to walk up to Xiao Feng and the others and distribute the rewards for participating in the Bloody Trial to them.

In order to increase the enthusiasm of disciples, major sects will give different levels of rewards to disciples who sign up for the Bloody Trial.

The reward given by Huangfeng Valley is a medium-grade spirit stone and a high-grade magic weapon.

Although Xiao Feng looked down upon that small reward, for an ordinary Qi Refining disciple, it was a windfall.

After everyone had finished selecting spirit stones and magic tools, an old man with gray hair, ruddy complexion, and high spirits, accompanied by several foundation-building deacons, walked into the hall at an unhurried pace. When Zhong Lingdao saw the newcomer, he immediately greeted him with a somewhat flattering smile.

Under the somewhat surprised gazes of Han Li and the others, Zhong Lingdao smiled and introduced the old man to everyone. It turned out that this man was the Jindan stage founder of Huangfeng Valley - Li Huayuan!

This trip to the Blood Forbidden Land was led by Li Huayuan, who was accompanied by six deacons in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

After seeing Li Huayuan, Xiao Feng couldn't help but look at him a few more times. He was not interested in Li Huayuan, but in his disciple Zhong Weiniang.

Zhong Weiniang is Li Huayuan's seventh disciple and a very gifted cultivator. She successfully established her foundation at the age of sixteen, and she and Chen Qiaoqian are good friends.

It's a pity that in the original novel, Zhong Weiniang had a secret crush on her third senior brother Liu Jing, and Liu Jing was ambushed and killed by Emperor Yue during the process of suppressing the Black Evil Sect. As a result, Zhong Weiniang, who was deeply in love, had her heart broken, and she was unable to break through to the Jindan stage until her death.

It really proves the old saying: Deep love does not bring longevity, and extreme wisdom brings harm!

Even for Chen Qiaoqian's sake, Xiao Feng couldn't just watch Zhong Weiniang end up like that. He had to find an opportunity to help her rest in peace.

"Alright! Stop talking nonsense and let's go!"

Li Huayuan didn't know that Xiao Feng, the sixth brother, had already set his sights on his beloved disciple. Instead, he interrupted Zhong Lingdao's polite words impatiently and led everyone out of the hall.

"hiss--"

As soon as the disciples walked out of the hall, they couldn't help but gasp in unison.

I saw a giant python over twenty feet long and covered with silver scales floating in the air outside the hall.

On the head of the giant silver python, there was a single black horn. It was the spiritual beast raised by Li Huayuan - the Silver-Armored Horned Python!
Following Li Huayuan's order, everyone jumped onto the back of the silver-armored horned python and flew towards the direction of the blood-colored forbidden land.

After flying for two days and two nights, the silver-armored horned python finally landed on an unnamed barren mountain.

This nameless barren mountain in front of us is some distance away from the Blood Forbidden Land and is the meeting place agreed upon by the seven major sects.

The originally agreed time was tomorrow morning, but because the Blood Forbidden Land is located in Jianzhou, Huangfeng Valley is considered half the host, so they usually arrive here one day in advance to wait for the arrival of other sects.

After getting off the back of the Silver-Armored Horned Python, everyone did not waste any time and began to prepare for tomorrow's battle.

Some people chose to recuperate, some were checking their magic weapons, and some were looking for people to form a team.

Time passed slowly, and soon it was the next morning.

Xiao Feng, who was taking a nap with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and looked up at the sky in the distance.

Han Li, who was secretly observing Xiao Feng out of the corner of his eye, naturally noticed his unusual behavior and subconsciously followed his gaze.

I saw a few star-like points of light appearing in the blue sky, and a series of black shadows standing above them.

Soon other disciples also noticed the abnormality in the sky and couldn't help but start discussing it.
