Rise of the Great Emperor Chapter 165: The Test Location

Chapter 165: The Test Location

"What is this?" Lin Xiao was stunned.

Behind him, the other three couldn't say anything either as they stared at the path before them.

Sui Wenyan was the first to break the silence. "Maybe, this is the real path towards the test place?"

Lin Xiao turned around and realized that the view behind him had changed too. It was now an empty place without any marking of the lush forest and the place they saw just now. He felt as if they have fallen into an illusion and now they were unable to wake up.

"Shall we walk?"

"Now?"

"Do you think we'll have the chance later?"

"Well, no."

Even though it was night time, the four of them were not really tired. It was not a big deal if they didn't sleep for a day or two since they were already powerful cultivators. In fact, they could use this chance to try walking this path.

"Let's try to walk this path then."

They looked at each other then nodded. "Alright."

Walking on the forest path, it was very quiet. Since it was already night time, their vision was limited. Aside from the faint swaying of leaves due to the wind, there was nothing in the forest.

No beast, no other cultivator, nothing.

'It feels eerie.'

'HA HA HA HA HA AHA HHAHA AHAHAH! You're scared just because you're walking in the quiet forest alone? My, my, my, the master I picked is just a spineless coward this time!'

'Scram!'

Lin Xiao screamed inside his consciousness. He didn't say that he was scared but he felt that this place was odd. If only it was possible, he wanted to tear Lin Hu's mouth apart so that this naughty dragon didn't begin to mock him because of a thoughtless remark that he made.

'WA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA AHAHAHA!'

Since the laughter got louder, Lin Xia decisively blocked Lin Hu from communicating with him. He was already feeling terribly annoyed by the scream of laugh that filled his head due to Lin Hu's mischievousness.

The others walked behind and beside Lin Xiao, so they didn't realize that Lin Xiao's expression had turned dark. Ever since meeting Lin Hu, Lin Xiao felt that the dragon was more annoying that useful.

'Wait, wait, don't lock me away! Hey! I'm serious! Wa ha ha ha… ehm. Anyway, you're in the correct path. The place that you cross back then is not barrier, but it's a door to another location in the forest.'

Lin Xiao, who was ready to scold Lin Hu again, paused in his steps. He frowned. 'You mean we're no longer in the same place as before?'

'Yes. You're teleported away from that small village. However, you don't need to worry because not far from here, there's a large field and I can sense the Qi from a lot of people. There will be a lot of friends waiting for you.'

'Huh?'

While Lin Xiao was still skeptical, he chose to trust Lin Hu's words. After all, Lin Hu had keener senses compared to him and there was no reason for Lin Hu to lie when he realized that Lin Xiao was already in terrible mood.

Walking a few more steps, Sui Wenyan suddenly stopped. "There are people at the front."

"Yes?"

"How many people?"

"I'm not sure, but they're all very powerful." Sui Wenyan bit her lower lips. She felt that if the people at the front were their enemies, there was no chance for them to win in the slightest bit. However, she was not sure of their ident.i.ties because she couldn't see them from this distance.

Lin Xiao looked at the front and sighed. "In that case, we should just try?"

Sui Wenyan looked back at Lin Xiao. She shook her head. "If you're in danger because you go there, do you really think you can run away?"

If the people over there were far more powerful than them, it was clear that they wouldn't be able to leave because in front of absolute power, any tricks and whatsoever was useless.

"We're here for the examination to enter Sun Dragon Academy. I don't think that they're going to put so many dangerous people in front of our path, right?"

It was a strange place, so they have to be careful. After all, there was no telling when they would arrive and might even meet with their enemies. Not that Lin Xiao had so many powerful enemies, but it would be better for them to be careful.

"Come on. Rather than staying still on the road, wouldn't it be better for us to see how it is in the end?"

"Fine."

They walked slowly and finally reached the empty area that Lin Hu told Lin Xiao before. There were two middle aged men who were standing guard near the entrance of that area. At the same time, there were also a lot of young men who were resting inside the area without any fear or anything.

Lin Xiao looked at the two middle aged men. The two of them wore white robe with the picture of dragon on the sleeve. They were not leaking out their aura, but their disposition alone was more than enough to tell them that these two were not ordinary. They might be far more powerful than Sui Wenyan even though she was already at Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

"Excuse me," Lin Xiao called out when they were near.

The first man simply looked at Lin Xiao. "Name."

"Eh?"

"He's asking for name." Lin Yun nudged his brother.

"I'm Lin Xiao."

"Lin Yun."

"Sui Wenyan."

"Wenren Yu."

The man nodded and four plates appeared on his hand. He gave it to them, each had one. "You did well. This is the test location and you will stay here until the time for the test in two days' time."

Lin Xiao kept the plate and looked at the area. It seemed that he was correct. That small village was not the place where they held the test.
