The oppressive feeling before them was truly overwhelming.

This disciple couldn't help but grasp the sword in his hand. Although his body was trembling slightly, his gaze gradually became resolute.

He couldn't disgrace the prestige of the True Martial Sect.

The expressions of the crowd varied, all waiting.

At that moment.

The mist violently surged once again.

One figure after another was spat out.

"They are all disciples of the True Martial Sect! Except for Taoist Longshan and a young Taoist, none are missing." The crowd's gazes grew even more fervent.

This phenomenon made it hard for them not to associate the changes in the ancient relic with the entry of the True Martial Sect's members.

Ye Qinghe took a deep breath.

She exchanged a glance with He Yan, and upon seeing that Ning Qi and Taoist Longshan were not present, both felt a sense of worry rise within them.

However.

She remained calm, ignoring the many gazes, leading her disciples over the waves, intending to head toward the agreed-upon Jade Snake Island.

But things were evidently not going to be so smooth.

Subtle auras vaguely locked onto them, and someone laughed:

"Miss..."

"Third disciple under True Man Longshan, Ye Qinghe!" The female Taoist raised her eyebrows, striking a valiant figure, catching many eyes with interest.

"Greetings, Miss Ye, I have something to inquire about."

Ye Qinghe looked at the person exuding the aura of a Celestial Being, suppressing the impatience in her heart:

"Please speak."

"May I ask what change happened within the True Martial Hall? Why suddenly can everyone no longer enter?"

Ye Qinghe could clearly feel the surrounding gazes heat up instantly. With her cleverness, it was not difficult to guess what these people were thinking, but the problem was, they didn't know either.

Ye Qinghe replied neither overbearing nor servilely:

"We also just emerged realizing the changes in the mist. We did enter the True Martial Hall, but like those who entered before, we failed to pass the test."

She spoke the truth.

They entered the test below the Celestial Human Realm, which tested comprehension and combat power, simply feeling the difficulty to be terrifyingly abnormal.

The crowd's eyes flickered.

Immediately someone within spoke in a strange, sarcastic tone:

"Lies! If your True Martial Sect hadn't obtained the inheritance, how could the mist of the True Martial Hall suddenly undergo such drastic changes? Everyone, the True Martial Sect just wants to monopolize the inheritance!"

Ye Qinghe and He Yan were both shocked and angry, looking around, but couldn't locate the source of the voice.

That elusive voice echoed many's thoughts:

"In my opinion, since this True Martial inheritance is open to the world, it should be shared by all. This would be the most beneficial choice for the Martial Realm, don't you all agree?"

The Celestial Being who was speaking with Ye Qinghe earlier was preparing to speak, but suddenly his expression changed.

A sharp beam of sword light shot out from the mist.

It precisely pierced through a small man on the side of a warship, a smug look still lingering at the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were filled with disbelief and fear.

The previously sarcastic voice abruptly ceased.

Everyone's hearts palpitated, all looking toward the mist.

A figure with a crane-like, immortal bearing stepped out; who else could it be but Taoist Longshan?

The True Martial Sect members were overjoyed, immediately heading forward to greet him, while Taoist Longshan calmly surveyed the crowd:

"Don't say my True Martial Sect didn't obtain the inheritance. Even if we did, it is the fortune of my Sect. Do you all wish to seize it?"

He felt somewhat regretful.

Though he barely passed the Yin Yang Fist test, the subsequent Four Symbols Palm was extremely difficult. He only managed to comprehend half before running out of time. However, he overcame several of the combat challenges afterwards, and his overall assessment granted him some rewards, supplementing much of the True Martial inheritance he had previously acquired.

But he wasn't entirely disappointed.

With Ning Qi around, there was still hope.

For now, he needed to resolve the trouble in front of him.

The Celestial Human Realm martial artist who spoke earlier felt a cold chill on his neck.

Before Taoist Longshan appeared, he still had some confidence, but with Taoist Longshan now out, he dared not act rashly. He vividly remembered when Longshan alone suppressed two Celestial Being List masters.

"True Man Longshan, I beg to differ. If I had obtained such an inheritance, I would naturally share it to benefit the world." A swordsman in purple clothing laughed.

Taoist Longshan shook his head and sighed:

"Purple Sword Elder, if I am not mistaken, you have visited the True Martial Sword Stele multiple times. Are you now repaying kindness with enmity against the True Martial Sect?"

Some people's gazes on the Purple Sword Elder immediately turned disdainful.

This truly was inappropriate.

But the Purple Sword Elder remained unabashed:

"True Man speaks correctly. I merely mean that, since the True Martial Sect is willing to open the True Martial Sword Stele to the world, having obtained the inheritance, they should naturally continue this fine tradition. It was precisely the influence of the Sword Stele that led me to think this way. True Man, please don't take offense."

Saying this, he bowed deeply.

Two words emerged in everyone's hearts.

Shameless!

But the majority just remained silent, needing someone to step forward and provide a seemingly rational excuse.

The law does not punish the masses.

If everyone handled this matter together today, even if True Man Tianjian wanted to pursue it in the future, there would be nowhere to start. Could he possibly hunt down each and every one of them?

The members of the True Martial Sect glared at the Purple Sword Elder with anger.

Taoist Longshan stared at him for a moment and then said blandly:

"It's a pity, I did not pass the test, nor did I obtain the True Martial inheritance, disappointing you."

"Then how does True Man explain the changes in the mist? How could there be such coincidences in the world?"

"I do not know."

Taoist Longshan led his disciples, stepping into the air, intending to depart.
