Chapter 294 Do you really think it's so easy to join my sect?

Half an hour later.

Because of the large-scale evacuation of the southern part of the city.

The streets were completely empty, with hardly any vehicles at all.

Not to mention traffic lights, Lu Chuan just drove recklessly at full speed.

This also meant that what used to be a journey of one or two hours now took Lu Chuan only a little over half an hour to reach the Twin Saints' Ruins.

squeak.

Slammed on the brakes.

The car came to a stop with a beautiful drift.

Lu Chuan then removed the car key, opened the door, and got out of the car.

Su Ling'er and Nalan Yanran quickly jumped down after them.

The ruins of the two saints at this moment were completely different from the bustling scene of the battle with tens of thousands of people a few days ago.

The surroundings were deathly silent.

It was equally desolate.

There's no one left in the south of the city, so naturally there's no one here either.

However, the mountains and fields were still covered with traces of the battle that had taken place some time ago.

The stone was shattered by the sword energy.

And dried bloodstains.

The dense, oppressive black aura within the ruins continues to churn and emanate a terrifying pressure that sends chills down one's spine.

A cold wind blew by.

Su Ling'er couldn't help but shiver.

"Senior brother, it's so deserted here now."

Su Ling'er looked around, her voice weak.

A while ago.

It's still overcrowded.

But now it has become like this.

I really don't know what's going on in the entire Jiangnan province right now? Why are they evacuating everyone to other provinces?

Nalan Yanran also felt a chill run down her spine as she looked at the churning black mist.

"Senior brother, has Master come to the Twin Sacred Relics again?"

"This malevolent energy is so strong, how are we supposed to get in?"

She had heard her grandfather, Nalan Jie, say that even a Martial King wouldn't dare to easily touch the malevolent energy within these two sacred relics, as even a tiny bit of it would corrode them to the point of being reduced to nothing.

Lu Chuan, however, kept his hands in his pockets, his expression calm.

"Don't worry, he'll come out to meet you."

The voice just fell.

Suddenly, something strange happened at the ruins ahead.

The dense black aura seemed to have received some kind of command, and began to churn violently.

Immediately afterwards, the malevolent energy slowly parted to the left and right, forcefully carving out a passage more than two meters wide in the middle of the black mist.

The passageway was pitch black.

It stretched as far as the eye could see, exuding a sinister and eerie atmosphere.

Just then, an old and majestic voice came from the depths of the passage.

"Come in."

The sound wasn't loud, but it seemed to explode directly in the two women's minds, causing their blood to surge.

This also caused Su Ling'er and Nalan Yanran to shudder simultaneously.

His face was full of surprise.

"It's the voice of the Martial Emperor of the Southern City!"

Su Ling'er was so excited she almost jumped up, and she grabbed Nalan Yanran and ran towards the entrance of the passage.

Reaching the entrance of the passage, the two women suddenly stopped and turned to look at Lu Chuan, who was standing still.

"Senior brother, why aren't you here?"

Su Ling'er asked in confusion.

Lu Chuan waved his hand casually.

"You two go ahead. Master said he only wants to see the two of you today. I'll keep watch outside for you."

The two women suddenly realized.

So it turns out Master wanted to test them individually.

"Then you wait for us outside, senior brother. We'll be out soon."

Su Ling'er took a deep breath, took Nalan Yanran's hand, and strode into the evil energy passage.

As soon as they entered, the black malevolent energy behind them surged in like a tide, completely cutting off their escape route.

The passageway was dimly lit.

All around was swirling black mist.

The two women gripped each other's hands tightly, their palms sweating profusely.

"Yanran, are you scared?"

Su Ling'er asked in a low voice.

Nalan Yanran forced herself to remain calm.

"Don't be afraid. Since the senior has let us in, he certainly won't harm us."

Actually, she was panicking inside, and her legs were trembling.

The two walked along the passageway.

The surroundings were so quiet that only their own footsteps could be heard.

I don't know how long we walked, but suddenly the view ahead opened up.

The black, malevolent energy formed a huge circular space here.

In the very center of the space, a figure sat cross-legged.

He was a middle-aged man wearing a blue robe.

He had his back to the two women, emanating a terrifying aura as deep as an abyss.

Although it was just a silhouette, it gave people a sense of oppression, like facing a towering mountain.

Su Ling'er and Nalan Yanran only glanced at it before feeling their breathing become incredibly difficult, their legs went weak, and they knelt directly on the ground.

"Disciple Su Ling'er."

"Disciple Nalan Yanran."

"Greetings, Master!"

The two women spoke in unison, their voices filled with undisguised excitement and awe.

This is the legendary Martial Emperor of the Southern City.

I finally saw it alive today.

The man in the blue robe slowly turned around and looked calmly at the two women kneeling on the ground.

He didn't speak.

I just watched quietly.

But the air in the surrounding space seemed to freeze.

Su Ling'er and Nalan Yanran lowered their heads, not daring to even breathe, their hearts pounding rapidly.

After a long while, the man in the blue robe finally spoke.

"I haven't even said I'd take you as my disciples yet. Isn't it a bit too early to call me 'master'?"

His voice was deep.

It carried an unquestionable air of authority.

Su Ling'er and Nalan Yanran froze instantly.

Their two pretty faces instantly turned bright red, so embarrassed they wished they could disappear into the ground.

That flattery backfired.

The senior had no intention of taking them in at all.

Oh no, this is incredibly embarrassing.

The two women lowered their heads, not daring to say a word, their hearts pounding with anxiety, fearing that if their senior became displeased, he would smash them into mincemeat.

Seeing the two women's trembling appearance, the man in the blue robe chuckled inwardly.

"Raise your head."

How could Su Ling'er and Nalan Yanran dare to disobey?

He shuddered and cautiously raised his head.

The moment their eyes met the man in the blue robe, they were immediately frightened and looked away.

Those eyes were so deep.

It was as if he could see through all their secrets.

"Do you really think it's so easy for me to get past you?"

The man in the blue robe suppressed a laugh, but his face maintained a mysterious and inscrutable expression.

Seeing these two girls, who were usually so arrogant, kneeling before him like two frightened quails, he felt incredibly satisfied.

Su Ling'er bit her lip, and finally mustered up the courage to speak.

"Senior, I know I am dull-witted."

"But my lineage of beast tamers carries a deep-seated blood feud, and I dream of becoming your disciple. Please teach me your skills."

"I'll do anything you ask me to do, as long as you're willing to take me in."

As she spoke, Su Ling'er's eyes reddened.

Since the Su family was wiped out, she has been living a life of hardship, hiding from place to place with her little bluebird.

Now that she has finally found a powerful backer who can rival He Taiqing, how could she give up so easily?

Not to be outdone, Nalan Yanran quickly kowtowed.

"Senior, although my Nalan family has some influence in the South City, it is nothing in your eyes."

"Yanran knows that she has only average talent, but she has a heart that yearns for the Dao."

"Grandpa said that as long as the senior is willing to take me in, the Nalan family is willing to pay any price."
