When the second elder Xi Qianyan heard the news, he felt as if he was struck by lightning. He stood there in disbelief and said: "You, what are you saying? Gu Tong is dead?"

The fourth elder said seriously: "Gu Tong is the second elder's focus on cultivating disciples. If something really happens to her, this matter is a big deal. You must make it clear!"

Ling Yu said in a deep voice: "There are also a man from the early stage of the celestial immortals and a little maid from the city lord's mansion with her. The people who were chasing them were at least three strong men from the middle stage of the celestial immortals. Although we did not find their bodies, the Thousand Demon Mountains are full of dangers. Even the Immortal King will not enter the depths of the mountains at will. With the strength of the four of them, I am afraid... there is a lot of danger."

"hateful!"

Xi Qianyan's face looked extremely ugly: "Although Gu Tong had just entered the Hidden Moon Palace for a year, I have given all my gifts in the past year and regarded her as my own and carefully cultivated her. But I didn't expect that this happened just one time I went home..."

Everyone can see the relationship between Xi Qianyan and Gu Tong. Bai Xuanqing, who was comforted by Xi Qianyan for a while, even felt that Xi Qianyan was even more pitiful than her. She comforted: "Second Elder, since the body has not been found, it cannot be proved that they are dead. Why not wait until the new disciples are completed and I will go to the Qiande Mountains to find them again?"

As soon as he said that, the young man she met in the Thousand Demon Mountains suddenly appeared in Bai Xuanqing's mind seven days ago.

It seems that that young man... is also the strength of the early stage of the immortal?

Thinking of this, Bai Xuanqing's face suddenly became ugly. She remembered that the young man had asked her to take him and his partner to leave the Thousand Demon Mountains, but she refused in order to find the Lieyang Grass.

Could it be that the young man he saw was the man beside Gu Tong in Lingfeng’s mouth?

If this is true, then wouldn’t Bai Xuanqing become the murderer who indirectly killed Gu Tong?

The Thousand Demon Mountains are already very dangerous, and ordinary cultivators dare not go deeper. It is impossible for a weak cultivator as early as the celestial immortal stage to appear inside, so Bai Xuanqing can be sure that that guy is the young man accompanying Gu Tong in Lingfeng's mouth.

Bai Xuanqing didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"We must investigate this matter thoroughly! I want to know who is chasing my Xi Qianyan's disciple!" Xi Qianyan said angrily.

The fourth elder said, "Lingfeng Lingyu, since you two are going to follow Gu Tong, then the matter of investigating the murderer will be left to you two to handle. However, today the new student assessment task is heavy, so you will set off to Lanyue City tomorrow."

"I will go with you tomorrow." Xi Qianyan said in a deep voice.

After Lingfeng and Lingyu received the order, they quickly withdrew from the private room to prepare for the assessment of the new disciples.

Xi Qianyan lost her beloved disciple, and the elders were not in the mood to talk about the new things of the sect. They all stood up and said goodbye, and each was busy going to his own way.

Bai Xuanqing also left the private room, and she was in a hurry to go back to visit her daughter Bai Ke.

Walking out of the teahouse, Bai Xuanqing suddenly noticed a familiar back in the corner. It was a young man in black, but Bai Xuanqing couldn't remember who he was.

After exploring the immortal consciousness, Bai Xuanqing found that the boy was just a small character with the early stage of the Earth Immortal cultivation. She instantly lost interest and turned around and left in a hurry.

Lingfeng Lingyu has already reached the registration office for freshmen. They checked the form and the number of newcomers this year's registration exceeded their imagination. Lingyu said: "Fortunately, the assessment method has been reformed this year. Otherwise, so many people would probably fill the back mountain of our Hidden Moon Palace."

"Although there are many people who have registered, our Hidden Moon Palace only recruits twenty disciples and allocates them to nine elders and one sect. More than two thousand people are selected for twenty, and the probability is less than one percent. I am afraid that today's assessment will be much more intense than last year's assessment!" Ling Feng couldn't help but sigh when he remembered the assessment of only one thousand people last year.

Ling Yu smiled faintly: "Referring to this year's assessment content, I think this year's assessment can no longer be described as intense."

Ling Feng raised his eyebrows: "What word do you think is more appropriate to describe it?"

"Terrible."

Ling Yu blinked her eyes, and Ling Feng nodded in agreement.

The registration work continued until the afternoon. There were already 2,356 people on the list, with a total of more than fifty pages written. Yan Ning and the other two came to the registration office. The outer disciples who had worked hard for a day were too lazy to lift their eyes: "Name, gender, age, home address..."

"Xiao Manzi, I haven't seen you for a month. You are very good at abilities!"

Gu Tong, who was walking in front, suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the ear of the outer disciple who was in charge of registration. The outer disciple suddenly screamed in pain. Anger appeared on his face, but when he looked up, he saw that it was Gu Tong, his anger faded and quickly smiled and said, "Sister Tong, how dare I!"

This outer disciple is named Chang Man. Like Gu Tong, he is from Lanyue City. He was assessed with Gu Tong last year. Unfortunately, Chang Man was not qualified enough. Although he passed the assessment, no elder was willing to accept him as his disciple, so he could only become an outer disciple. He respected Gu Tong, who became an inner disciple. Gu Tong was also very good to this fellow villager and often gave him some advice on cultivation.

"These two are my friends, so I respect the key points!" Gu Tong said with great momentum.

Chang Man looked at Yan Ning and Weiwei, and his tone became much more respectful: "Please report your name, gender, age, and home address..."

Weiwei said first: "My name is Weiwei, my gender is female, nineteen years old, from the Lord's Mansion of Lanyue County City."

"Lanyue County City...City Lord's Mansion...Okay!" Chang Man recorded Weiwei's information in the book, then looked at Yan Ning: "Where is this young master?"

Yan Ning said: "My name is Yan Ning, my gender is also from Lanyue County City."

When Yan Ning arrived at Yinyue Palace, he was too lazy to make up. The so-called Yan family in Chilong County was just the identity that Yan Ning used to fool the Zhu family.

"It turns out that they are all fellow villagers!" Chang Man happily wrote Yan Ning's information on the registration list, and then asked: "How old are Brother Yan Ning?"

Yan Ning shouted with confidence: "Twelve!"

"Okay, twelve...twelve?!" Chang Man couldn't help but use his fingers to pull the second horizontal line of the two characters long.

Gu Tong cursed angrily: "You really think they can't see how old you are? Have you grown to be twelve years old like you?!"

Yan Ning said innocently: "I just look anxious. Why do you still discriminate against me?"

Chang Man was ashamed: "This young man, it is meaningless to lie to Yan Ning. The nine elders of the Yinyue Palace can easily see your real age, so outsiders over 25 years old who want to participate in the freshman assessment will definitely not be able to take advantage of the situation."
