Forced to become a pure and innocent female pharmacist in order to cultivate immortality.

"Alright, I've said all I need to say. Take this. It's a magical artifact for containing demonic beasts, and it's also your life-saving artifact. Let me tell you, if you don't want to die, just admit defeat. Once you admit defeat, this artifact will release its power to protect you. Even the strongest experts in the Four Extremes Secret Realm won't be able to kill you. In short, act according to your abilities."

The Moon Fairy raised her hand and waved it. Streams of light flew out from the storage magic treasure in her hand and landed in the hands of the ten thousand cultivators present.

This is a magical artifact, similar to a bracelet.

The rule for this hunt of demonic beasts is that only the cultivator who kills the demonic beast will receive its corpse.

So, you should also be careful not to have other cultivators steal your kill.

"Time's up, come with me." After distributing the magical treasures for the competition, the Moon Fairy gestured for everyone to follow her.

Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue also stopped talking to Li Bai. In fact, they didn't say much; it was just catching up. They mainly talked to Lin Aoxue.

Lin Aoxue naturally had no objection to Li Bai becoming her master. In terms of talent, Li Bai was currently the most suitable person in the Taishang Ganying Sect.

The group followed behind Fairy Taiyin and her companions into the teleportation passage leading to the ancient forest.

The teleportation channel was like a water curtain; they passed through it and arrived in another area.

This is an ancient forest area, where the trees block out the sun, with only a few rays of sunlight filtering through the gaps in the leaves.

"This? How amazing! If only we could build one of these teleportation portals in the Cloud Sect as well," Ye Liuyun said with a look of amazement after walking out.

Ye Liuyun had this idea, but he didn't know if he could do it.

The ancient forest is lush and green, exuding a rich and vibrant vitality. Moreover, the feeling here is refreshing and invigorating, because the spiritual energy permeating the air is extremely concentrated.

"It feels so good. The spiritual energy here is even richer than that of the Supreme Response Sect." Everyone took a deep breath and exclaimed.

The sound of insects chirping could also be heard in my ears.

"Alright, this is the Ancient Forest. We spent a long time driving away all the demonic beasts in the Ancient Forest that were above the early stage of the Four Extremes Secret Realm and the Sea of ​​Wheels Realm. The magic items on your wrists can provide map directions so you won't get lost here. Alright, let the competition begin. Good luck to you." Fairy Taiyin gestured.

As soon as these words were spoken, the disciples of the Taishang Ganying Sect were the first to act. This was their home ground, and their reaction was the fastest. In no time, they dispersed in groups.

Then came people from four other major sects. However, many of these people, including some from various groups, secretly glanced at Lin Aoxue and her companions before leaving.

Clearly, they were not going to make Lin Aoxue and the others feel comfortable.

"Alright, let's go too. Everyone, be careful." After giving a greeting, Murong Huan led his Yunxiao Peak disciples to the left, as that was the direction most often taken by the Taishang Ganying Sect cultivators.

For them, that direction is definitely the safest.

Soon, almost all 10,000 people had dispersed, but six people remained standing still.

"Hey? Senior Sister Yunxin, Brother Xiao, why aren't you two leaving?" Besides the four of them who were standing still, there were two other people who hadn't moved either.

Ye Liuyun was unwilling to run so fast because she had a way to attract the demonic beasts, so there was no need to run too far. Therefore, she told Lin Aoxue and the others not to leave yet, but to wait until the others had left.

Xiao Hansheng chuckled when he saw Ye Liuyun.

"Oh dear, Senior Sister Yunxin and I are outnumbered and outmatched, so we think we should wait until the others have left before choosing a relatively safe direction to proceed. But Miss Ye, why aren't you four leaving?" Xiao Hansheng asked with a smile.

These six people are interesting.

However, the expressions of the Moon Fairy and the others were complicated.

"The most talented people are all here, and they all seem to know each other?" Fairy Taiyin asked with a puzzled look.

Ye Liuyun was about to say something, but Lin Aoxue spoke first.

"Junior Brother Xiao, Senior Sister Yunxin, would you two like to join the four of us?" Lin Aoxue invited.

Normally, Yunxin would never accept the invitation, but today, she agreed without hesitation.

“Great! I couldn’t be happier.” Yunxin walked over directly.

When Xiao Hansheng saw that Yun Xin directly agreed to join Ye Liuyun's team, he naturally couldn't refuse.

"Since it was Miss Lin who invited me, then I cannot refuse." Xiao Hansheng also came over, and just like that, the group of six with the strongest aptitude was successfully formed.

Even so, they still did not make any progress.

This time, the Moon Fairy had no choice but to ask.

"Hey! You six little guys, what's wrong with you? Why aren't you moving forward? You only have one minute to listen today. If you don't make the most of your time, you definitely won't get many points." Fairy Taiyin asked, somewhat puzzled.

Ye Liuyun immediately gave an awkward smile.

"Hey, senior, look, there are six of us. We're very conspicuous. I just saw many people's eyes flash over us. If we rashly enter the forest, we'll probably be surrounded and attacked in no time," Ye Liuyun said awkwardly.

The Moon Fairy was taken aback. She then scanned the surroundings with her divine sense and found that several teams were lying in ambush. They had not gone far but were waiting for something in one place.

There's no need to look further; it's definitely the teams from the four major sects who are going to ambush and eliminate the six of them.

Because of the six of them, except for Ye Liuyun, the other five had all been chosen by the Supreme Response Sect and had already discussed that since they weren't going to their side, they certainly wouldn't let them have an easy time.

However, the Moon Fairy didn't seem surprised that someone was lying in ambush; rather, she was surprised at how Ye Liuyun had discovered it.

"Don't be afraid, someone will deal with them," the Moon Fairy said.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, a series of battle sounds came from all around. Those teams that wanted to ambush Ye Liuyun and his group were attacked by the cultivators of the Supreme Response Sect in no time.

"Haha, I knew it. Here, you five, eat these pills. They're invisibility pills that can hide your aura and your form." Ye Liuyun gave each of them a pill.

Yun Xin and the others knew the power of Ye Liuyun's pills, so they didn't hesitate and swallowed them directly. Xiao Hansheng hesitated for a moment before swallowing them as well.

And so the six of them vanished from their spot and headed in a less crowded direction, quickly disappearing from the sight of the Moon Fairy and the others.

"What a cautious little girl. She says she only has a white-level aptitude. I simply don't believe it. How could a white-level aptitude be noticed by the Holy Maiden of the Holy Land?" Fairy Taiyin wondered to herself.

After the last six people left, Li Bai and his group also had to leave.

"Alright, these six little ones, Senior Sister, I'll go first too. I'll protect these six little ones along the way." Li Bai said, then flew into the sky and chased after Ye Liuyun and the other six.

After exchanging greetings with the Taiyin Fairy, the other nine Nascent Soul experts also took to the air and flew off in different directions.

It wasn't just the ten Nascent Soul experts; many cultivators from the Four Extremes Secret Realm were hidden throughout the ancient forest. They had to absolutely ensure the safety of this hunting trial and prevent anyone with ulterior motives from infiltrating.

This shows they've learned from the previous experience at Tianyi City; they can't be too overconfident.

"Haha, all done. We'll take our leave now. You guys have fun." After confirming that Ye Liuyun and his group were gone, the Taishang Ganying Sect's group finally left behind the teams from the four major sects and rode off triumphantly.

The teams that the four major sects had ambushed were almost furious.

"Damn it, we didn't expect the Supreme Response Sect to anticipate our actions. Damn it, quickly find them and see where they've gone!" The cultivators from the four major sects of the Northern Region said anxiously.

Ye Liuyun and his group had essentially blended into their surroundings; in this place, once they became invisible, they were very difficult to detect.

"Hey, there's no one else around, relax a bit." After confirming that no one was around, Ye Liuyun gestured for everyone to stop.

However, as soon as they stopped, Yunxin suddenly spoke up.

"Alright, thank you for your help, Junior Sister Ye. I'll take my leave now." After saying this, Yun Xin disappeared without pausing for a moment.

"Huh? Why are you leaving so suddenly? Didn't we say we'd go together?" Ye Liuyun was speechless.

Yunxin had no intention of going with Ye Liuyun and the others; she just had a feeling that Ye Liuyun would definitely find a way to shake off those who were tailing them.

She guessed right. Now that she's been left behind, she's definitely leaving. She doesn't like working with others.

"Sigh! That's just how Senior Sister Yunxin is, a lone wolf," Xiao Hansheng sighed.

After Yun Xin walked away, Ye Liuyun turned his attention to Xiao Hansheng.

"Brother Xiao, do you want to come with us?" Ye Liuyun asked.

"What? Miss Ye, we were the first fellow disciples we met at the Cloud Mist Sect, don't send me away," Xiao Hansheng teased.

Ye Liuyun shrugged indifferently.

"I don't mind if you come along, but Brother Xiao, could you please stop pretending? I've noticed that your disguise is even more sophisticated than mine." Ye Liuyun decided to expose Xiao Hansheng's true identity.

Lin Aoxue didn't react much, because Ye Liuyun had already told her about Xiao Hansheng's matter.

Xiao Hansheng was stunned when he heard this. He did not immediately deny or admit it, but thought about it for a while before asking.

"Eh? Miss Ye, when did you guess my identity?" Xiao Hansheng asked, puzzled.

“We discovered this back in the Cloud Mist Sect. We’ve undergone two gender reversals, but you seem completely unaffected and have remained the same. So there’s only one explanation: you might actually be a woman, just using some method to disguise yourself,” Ye Liuyun said.

Upon hearing Ye Liuyun's words, Xiao Hansheng thought about it carefully again and then nodded.

“That makes sense. I just didn’t expect that you, Miss Ye, would actually notice this. Alright, I admit that I did indeed conceal my identity.” Xiao Hansheng wasted no time. He slowly closed his eyes, and the next moment a seven-colored light shone from his chest.

After the light shone, Xiao Hansheng's figure and appearance gradually changed, and she quickly transformed from a handsome young man into a noble woman in her early twenties.

Because she is currently dressed as a man, which slightly conceals her temperament and beauty, it is not difficult to see that Xiao Hansheng is also a great beauty, and her identity is definitely not ordinary.

"Let me introduce myself again. My name is Li Hanyu, and my identity will remain a secret for now," Xiao Hansheng said with a smile, reintroducing himself.

Yan Yu and Chen Yao didn't recognize Xiao Hansheng, so they didn't react much.

"Wow! I guessed you were a girl, but I didn't expect you to be such a beauty. I don't understand, Brother Xiao, oh no, Sister Li, what are you up to?" Ye Liuyun was very puzzled.

Li Hanyu sighed heavily.

"Oh! Back then, I secretly changed my identity and ran away from home. To avoid being found by my family, I used a magical artifact to change my identity. I'm sorry," Li Hanyu said somewhat embarrassedly.

After hearing Li Hanyu's reasons, Ye Liuyun didn't think there was anything wrong with them, since she herself had also run away from home.

"Oh, that's alright. Everyone has their own difficulties, I understand. Let's continue, the five of us. Just listen to my instructions, and I promise you'll get through this easily," Ye Liuyun said.

The hunting trial has officially begun, while the Supreme Induction Sect is still using the Mystic Mirror to observe the situation in various areas.

However, this time they adopted a zone-based spectator approach instead of observing individuals.

Chapter 370 Hunting Trial (Part Two) (6000 words)

Xiao Hansheng's sudden transformation into a female cultivator left the people from the Supreme Response Sect completely bewildered.

"I didn't expect it to be a little girl, and she even used a magic weapon to disguise herself as a man to attend the Nanling Grand Gathering. Is she hiding from someone? And what kind of magic weapon can hide from our eyes?" one of the peak masters muttered with a surprised expression.

What they didn't notice was that at the moment Li Hanyu revealed her identity, the corner of Prince Li Yutang's mouth twitched violently.

However, no one noticed his subtle change in expression, which seemed to be a very troubled and helpless reaction.

It's like his juniors are being naughty and mischievous in front of him, and he can't do anything about it.

As for Ye Liuyun, she safely avoided the other teams thanks to Lin Qingyou's divine sense covering her. This ancient forest is very large; even if ten thousand people were thrown in, there wouldn't be a sound.

In addition, the vegetation here is extremely dense, and the visibility is not particularly clear. Once you lose your target, finding someone again will require luck.

Those teams targeting Lin Aoxue and her group, even if they wanted to find them, would have to wait for an opportunity, because the Taishang Ganying Sect's teams were causing trouble for them.

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Song, aren't your methods a bit too obvious?" Over at the main hall of the Supreme Response Sect, they had clearly seen the people from the four major sects trying to ambush Ye Liuyun and his group.

However, the leaders of the four major sects remained calm and indifferent.

"There's nothing we can do about it. Fellow Daoist Tianyi, you know these girls eliminated quite a few of us in the earlier stages. They've developed a grudge against our disciples, so it's understandable that they're being targeted," Song Qingtian replied.

"Indeed, it seems reasonable for our disciples to seek revenge on those few. On the contrary, it is your sect's disciples who inexplicably came out to target our team. That's what's wrong with them," said Moon Goddess, the leader of the Morning Glow Moon Worship Sect, retorting.

Upon hearing this, the members of the Taishang Ganying Sect all snorted coldly.

Now that they've reached this point, their stance is very clear, so there's no need to pretend anymore.

Looking at Ye Liuyun and his group, they were moving through the dense forest. They dared not fly, as flying would make them too conspicuous.

To avoid being targeted by people with ulterior motives, it's best to avoid using your power as much as possible.

Using your power will increase your chances of being exposed, but of course, this isn't absolute; it also depends on luck.

So far, they are safe. There are no other cultivators within a kilometer radius. As for demonic beasts, there are definitely some; there are quite a few in this area.

However, Ye Liuyun and his group did not intend to hunt monsters for the time being. Instead, they were looking for a suitable place to set traps.

"This ancient forest is huge! We've traveled quite a distance, but according to the map, we're actually still on the edge of the teleportation array." Li Hanyu activated the magic item on her wrist.

The next moment, a magical projection appeared on the bracelet, revealing a map.

There is a blue dot and a larger red dot on this map. The blue dot represents them, and the red dot indicates the location of the teleportation array.

"It's definitely huge! Ah, this place is so comfortable, the spiritual energy is incredibly abundant. One day of cultivation here is equivalent to several days outside," Yan Yu exclaimed.

Tian Duan Ridge is the area with the richest spiritual energy in the Southern Region. Unfortunately, this place is currently mainly occupied by demonic beasts.

However, just as the group was sighing, Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun raised their eyebrows at the same time and then spoke up to offer a reminder.

"Be careful, a monster is approaching us."

Upon hearing this, the five people immediately became alert.

Soon after, the ground beneath their feet began to tremble and shake violently. As the shaking intensified, the ground quickly collapsed.

“He’s down there.” Ye Liuyun glanced at the ground.
