Strongest Soldier

Lee Hongtian slightly frowned, his tone was filled with vigilance.    

Although the old man in front of him looked ordinary and didn't have any true energy fluctuations from his body, Lee Hongtian felt that he was very dangerous.    

The old man raised his head and shook it left and right, revealing an old face that was full of wrinkles. His turbid eyes were lifeless, and he did not seem like a living person at all.    

"Who am I? Forgot... Now, it's your turn to answer my question. "    

Lee Hongtian was speechless. Who could even forget who he was? However, when he looked at the old man carefully, he could not find any traces of him lying after a long time.    

After thinking for a moment, Lee Hongtian still said: "My name is Lee Hongtian and I'm one of the participants in this exam. I'm unintentionally trapped here and I don't know if you know how to get out?"    

"Hehe, you're quite direct."    

The old man chuckled and then lowered his head again. He became silent, causing Lee Hongtian to feel depressed as he silently cursed the old man: "Do you know the way to get out? Hmph, what's wrong with you now?"    

However, Lee Hongtian was too lazy to ask anymore, so he started to explore around.    

Half an hour later, he returned to the altar and sat down on the altar steps. He stared at the aisle where he had come from in a daze.    

The result of the exploration in half an hour was that the four sides of the cliff were the same as the passageway, there was no possibility of climbing up at all. The only way out was through the passageway, but from the moment Lee Hongtian entered, he ran at his fastest speed for three days before arriving here. As for the other end, there was no end to it.    

"Has the trial begun again?"    

The old man on the altar suddenly asked. Lee Hongtian was slightly surprised, then said: "You know about the survival training?"    

The old man answered quickly this time. The old voice sounded, "I know, how come I don't know. Hehe …" The Wu'en Sect's trial is something that countless people yearn for. Heh, a bunch of idiots! "    

"Could it be that you were trapped here because you also participated in the trial?" Lee Hongtian said in surprise, while his face darkened. If the truth was as he thought, then he wouldn't be trapped here forever, right?    

"You could say so." The old man said indifferently.    

Hearing this, Lee Hongtian had lost all hope. He was like a deflated balloon. Looking at the old man in front of him, he could not help but feel sorry for him.    

After pausing for a while, Lee Hongtian asked curiously, "Old man, the chains on your body …"    

"As you can see, it was these chains that trapped me. Otherwise, how could I have been trapped here, tormented by the endless years of erosion and reincarnation?"    

The old man sneered, and his tone suddenly became angry: "Hmph, Wu'en Sect is known as the righteous Big Dipper, and the beautiful surface is actually built on countless lies. If this old man did not discover their secret, how could they have fallen to such a state?"    

Lee Hongtian frowned as he heard this. He didn't quite understand the meaning behind these words, but he vaguely felt that their guesses about the Wu'en Sect trials were just the tip of the iceberg.    

If this trial was not only a method to select disciples with Wu'en Sect, then what was it for?    

Thinking about this, Lee Hongtian couldn't help but worry for the safety of Abe Qingchuan and the others. He asked anxiously, "Old man, could it be that there's something else going on in this exam? I wonder if I can tell you? "    

"Heh heh, so what if I told you? You can't go out now, just like an old guy like me. But before that, can you tell me how you came in? "    

Lee Hongtian recounted how he was tricked by Shen Ruhai and how he was forced to come in the end by that blast of air.    

After the old man heard this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. He laughed until there were only a few tears left in the corners of his eyes.    

Lee Hongtian suddenly became angry and said angrily: "Is it that funny? Now can you tell me about the Wu'en Sect Trial? "    

"Hahaha... I had originally thought that you had offended the Wu'en Sect to be trapped here, but to think that you were actually stuck here. I can only say that your luck is extremely bad, could it be that you have done something wicked outside and come here to receive your retribution? "Hahaha..."    

The old man laughed unrestrainedly. Lee Hongtian directly ignored him and sat on the stairs silently.    

After a long while, perhaps he had laughed enough, but then the old man said faintly: "Young man, your name is Lee Hongtian right? Your talent is not bad, but the true qi within your body is a complete mess and you don't even know how to circulate it. It's a pity, I wonder if you are willing to follow me in cultivation? "    

"Cultivate?" "Profound Cave?"    

Lee Hongtian subconsciously repeated these two words, and then immediately said with a stern face: "I'm sorry, I just want to find a way out of here right now, I don't have the time to waste with you. If you don't want to tell me about the Wu'en Sect Trial, then forget about it, let's part ways here."    

After saying that, he stood up, dusted off the non-existent dust on his butt, and walked towards the corridor that he had come from.    

"You can't get out." the old man shouted.    

Lee Hongtian turned a deaf ear to him and continued to walk.    

"Alright, I'll tell you. Don't go." The old man was anxious, his voice raised a few notches.    

Lee Hongtian stopped and revealed a proud smile.    

It wasn't that he was unwilling to let him run back to the other end of the aisle, but there was still a guy here who clearly knew more information. Even if he wanted to leave, he would have to find out the answer he wanted before leaving.    

The reason for the performance was naturally because Lee Hongtian could tell something was wrong from the old man's words.    

Although he didn't have much contact with the old man, Lee Hongtian was sure that the old man had been here for a long time. He had even forgotten his name and identity, which was why he looked so lifeless in the beginning.    

However, ever since the old man asked Lee Hongtian to follow him in cultivation, Lee Hongtian could hear a hint of hope in the old man's tone.    

Lee Hongtian guessed that this old man definitely knew the way out. He didn't tell him probably because he was afraid he would leave him alone when he left.    

He also suggested that if he were to practice cultivation with him, he would probably be able to see that his talent was not bad and would want to give some guidance to his cultivation. When he left this place in the future, he would think of his love and bring him out with him.    

However, Lee Hongtian didn't have the mood to think about this right now. He only wanted to get out of here as soon as possible, so he pretended to leave and purposely provoke the old man.    

The old man panicked. He was afraid that Lee Hongtian would leave him alone once he left, so he quickly agreed to Lee Hongtian's request.
