Chapter 181: Is Everyone Here?

These young elites naturally paid attention to this child in the group. He was so young and was very attractive. Moreover, he was very cute. When they left, a few kind young elites helped Lin Xuan hide, hoping that he would not be discovered and could avoid them later.
However, at this moment, Lin Xuan was actually called out to scout the way. These people from the Fire God Hall were really too shameless. They did not even let such a young child off!
As if he had read their minds, the Foundation Establishment realm expert behind him said,
“On the path of cultivation, who cares about your age? Since you’re here, you have to be mentally prepared. Or perhaps, one of you wants to go on his behalf?”
To be honest, this Foundation Establishment expert of the Fire God Hall could be considered to have the capital to be arrogant. His name was Huo Yunkong, and he could be considered to be one of the top geniuses of the Fire God Hall.
‘You want me to scout ahead?’ When Lin Xuan heard this, his eyes narrowed.
He indeed felt a sense of danger ahead. Although it was not very big to him, it was probably very difficult to deal with these people from the Fire God Hall. Therefore, he would probably be used as a scout this time.
It was not only Lin Xuan who was pointed out. Several other young elites were also pointed out.
“You have to know that it’s your honor.”
Huo Yunkong’s face was cold. His entire body was covered in fiery red flames that illuminated the world. It was enough to show his shocking strength.
“Go scout the path for me too. Remember, take six steps forward and take five steps left,” Huo Yunkong said to another cultivator with a slightly lower cultivation level. That cultivator’s expression immediately changed.
This order was cold and heartless. That cultivator also understood that he wanted to use his life to pave the way for the Fire God Hall’s treasure hunt.
“Great Lord, please spare my life. I’m from the faction of the Northern Azure Continent’s Ascension Immortal Dynasty. I can be said to have been friends with your esteemed sect for generations!” That person immediately begged loudly, wanting to rely on his relationship with the Ascension Immortal Dynasty to make the Fire God Hall let him off.
However, before this person could finish speaking, he was grabbed by the neck by a Body Refinement Realm Fire God Hall cultivator and thrown forward.
This cultivator immediately screamed. Before he could struggle or discuss, purple lightning suddenly surged and cut him into pieces.
Crack!!
Bloody light appeared, and lightning flickered. A scorched aura came from the air, making the person feel disgusted.
The young elites present who were used as bait could not help but clench their fists as their faces turned pale.
“Next, remember to take seven steps forward and three steps to the right. Don’t waste my time. As long as you do as I say, you will definitely benefit from it.” Huo Yunkong’s expression was very cold and already had a hint of danger.
The young prodigy who was pointed at had an extremely horrified expression. He trembled and retreated. He even lost his mind.
“No… No, I don’t want to go!”
“How annoying.” Another Body Refinement expert walked out from the Fire God Hall, his tone filled with impatience.
He only pointed a finger and locked the young prodigy in place, preventing him from moving. Then, he grabbed his collar and wanted to throw him in.
“It’s useless to let him scout the way. We’ll just kill such a cowardly person.” Huo Yunkong, who was standing at the back, spoke naturally as if he did not decide the life and death of a young prodigy. Instead, he drank tea and ate casually.
When the other geniuses present heard this, they could not help but shiver.
The Body Refinement Realm cultivator of the Fire God Hall also smiled. His expression was ferocious as he twisted this person’s neck and twisted with all his might. Immediately, the young prodigy’s neck and back twisted like a fried dough twist.
Dark red blood dripped down drop by drop. The Body Refinement Realm cultivator from the Fire God Hall threw the body of the young prodigy onto the road like he was throwing trash.
This bloody and terrifying scene reflected in everyone’s eyes. It was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over their heads, causing their bodies to go cold.
This was a dangerous sign. This was to let those young geniuses know that if they disobeyed the Fire God Hall’s orders, they would die.
“The path of cultivation is long. What’s the use if you’re unwilling to even fight for opportunities? You’re destined to die. Why don’t I send you on your way and let you be free earlier?” Huo Yunkong sneered coldly.
At this moment, everyone’s faces were extremely pale, and anger surged in their hearts. This person from the Fire God Hall was really too disgusting!
He cherished his life and did not dare to go in to explore the mystic realm, so why did he say that he was unwilling to fight for the opportunity? It was clearly because he was timid! If he was so ruthless, he could go in!
When Lin Xuan saw the current situation, he estimated the number of people around and discovered that not everyone was present.
Then, he thought for a moment and did not choose to attack immediately. Instead, he planned to let all the people from the Fire God Hall gather before attacking. This would save him the trouble of finding them one by one and wasting his time.
In fact, after Lin Xuan entered this mystic realm, he had long given these people from the Fire God Hall the death sentence, but he did not take action.
Then, Huo Yunkong of the Fire God Hall pointed at Lin Xuan and asked him to scout the way.
The corners of Lin Xuan’s mouth raised into a smile. Then, he used a little power of the dual-pupils and took a step forward.
Everyone’s expressions were very nervous as they watched Lin Xuan take that step with burning eyes, but they discovered that nothing had happened.
“Not bad, not bad. We’ve finally confirmed the correct path. You’re so mature at such a young age. This is a true cultivator. Only then can you walk far on the path to immortality!” Huo Yunkong revealed a happy expression behind him.
Next, Huo Yunkong did not stop at all and let Lin Xuan continue. Moreover, he took many steps in a row.
Lin Xuan’s small face was tense, and his face was cold. He did not say a word and only gently changed his footsteps a few times to step on a safe spot.
Were these people from the Fire God Hall stupid? This array formation was so simple, and they did not know how to break it? With this damned character, they still wanted to search for treasures?
Lin Xuan stepped on the correct spot consecutively, causing the people of the Fire God Hall to be delighted. Huo Yunkong turned around and said to the people behind him, “Call the others over. Alright, let everyone gather. We’ve obtained a huge breakthrough this time!”
At this moment, Lin Xuan’s eyes flickered.. He could finally catch all these people in one go.
