Unparalleled Divine Power

One Peak of the Bone Exchange Stage, twelve Early Period of Bone Exchange Stage, and one to two hundred Rebirth Stage. Such a force was truly terrifying. It was enough to fight against the weaker ten major powers of the Liufeng County.    

This dark force was entrenched in this place, and it could be considered a king.    

However, wasn't its courage just too great? It even dared to kill the Guard of Damo? This would definitely touch the bottom line of the Guard of Damo.    

Although there were one hundred and fifty-two people participating in the Guard of Damo selection this time, all of them were at the Rebirth Stage Peak. Even if there were a few monstrous geniuses who could fight Early Period of Bone Exchange Stage warriors, there wouldn't be many of them.    

Furthermore, there was another problem that attracted people's attention. That was the number of Early Period of Bone Exchange Stage warriors. There were actually only twelve of them. Could it be that only by killing an Early Period of Bone Exchange Stage warrior could one pass the test?    

If that was the case, would there really be someone who could pass the test?    

Even Qin Xiao didn't have the confidence to kill an Early Period of Bone Exchange Stage without the help of any treasures. If he could defeat him, there was still a possibility, and it was basically impossible to kill him.    

After all, it was extremely difficult to kill an opponent who had just broken through to the Great Stage.    

Faced with everyone's worries, Lord Houyin said, "Hei Lang isn't in Devil Valley for the time being. Since I have come here personally this time, I naturally have to uproot the roots of this major power. If Hei Lang comes back, I will naturally get rid of him. And your mission is to deal with the other people in Devil Valley. "    

"All twelve Bone Exchange Stage warriors have an identity token on them. If you can get one, then you will pass the test. It's not necessarily necessary, you have to kill a Bone Exchange Stage warrior. Those one to two hundred Rebirth Stage warriors also have an identity token on them. Collecting one hundred Rebirth Stage warrior tokens is considered passing the test."    

"The terrain of Devil Valley is very complicated, and it has a radius of several dozen miles. Twelve Bone Exchange Stage warriors, each occupying one side, each forming their own camp. If they join forces, you won't stand a chance. Can you complete the mission? That will depend on you. However, there are a few rules that I'll tell you guys here. "    

" First, you're not allowed to find any helpers, the mission can only be completed by yourself "    

"Secondly, you are not allowed to use any middle grade or higher spiritual weapons, such as Spirit Treasure. Low grade can use them."    

"Thirdly, you are allowed to snatch the tokens from others, but you are not allowed to harm their lives. You are not allowed to cripple their foundation."    

"I'll personally supervise it. If anyone dares to disobey, you'll be killed without mercy!"    

The last sentence was spoken in a domineering manner, and it made everyone's heart tighten. They didn't dare to disobey it, as they knew that Lord Houyin wasn't joking. A great figure like him had always been a man of his word. No one dared to violate the rules set by him.    

Everyone nodded to express their understanding.    

Qin Xiao was also calculating in his heart. It would be fine if he could only seize an identity token, but it wouldn't be an easy task. After all, he had to deal with a Bone Exchange Stage expert.    

"The examination this year seems to be more difficult than before." Lo Kehua frowned and said.    

Nihong also said, "Yes, it is indeed harder than the previous years. Although we don't need to kill an Early Period of Bone Exchange Stage, but it's almost there. If we want to seize the token from an Early Period of Bone Exchange Stage, we definitely can't use our intelligence. He could only use his strength. Even if he didn't kill him, he would still have to defeat him. And then kill... I'm afraid there's not much of a difference."    

Lo Kehua swallowed his saliva and shook his head as he let out a silent sigh. "Sigh, it seems like I don't have a chance. If I have to face an Early Period of Bone Exchange Stage, I will be courting death."    

Such an examination was indeed difficult. Qin Xiao, who was originally full of confidence, felt that he needed to be more alert this time.    

"Lord Houyin, if the few of us work together to deal with a Bone Exchange Stage, does that count as breaking the rules?" A bold young man asked.    

This was a question that many people wanted to ask. If they really wanted to fight one on one, then the situation would be very bad. Besides, what if a few people started fighting over it?    

Lord Houyin said, "That's fine. The first token I'm talking about is for you to get it yourself. You can't accept other people giving it to you. Do you understand now?"    

Only now did everyone feel relieved. Only then could they accept it a little more. It was a pretty good situation to be able to work together. As for the final ownership of the token, that would depend on one's own strength.    

"One more thing, those who have already obtained the token are not allowed to help others. If you've already gathered all of them, then you can leave on your own. You are not allowed to help anyone else, otherwise it will be considered a violation of the rules " Lord Houyin added.    

Such a situation had created a lot of pressure for them to work together.    

Lord Houyin waved his hand and said. "Alright, you all can enter the Devil Valley by yourselves."    

Gu Lingyue smiled and revealed a pair of canine teeth, looking very cute. "Ms Nihong, let's go together. With the four of us working together, it will definitely be easy for us to deal with an Early Period of Bone Exchange Stage."    

Nihong nodded her head, expressing her willingness.    

Lo Kehua grinned. "Haha, Gu Lingyue, don't count me in. I will be a burden if I follow you. I am just a bystander. I don't have any expectations for this exam. "    

Qin Xiao wanted to comfort Lo Kehua, but he knew that Lo Kehua's strength was average. The probability of him passing the exam was almost zero. However, losing once was not a big deal. After all, he still had the chance to participate in the test in the future. Anyone under the age of 30 could participate in the selection of the Guard of Damo.    

Of course, there might be some people who would give up after suffering a loss once.    

The four of them entered the Devil Valley. As soon as they entered, they could indeed feel the devil fog that filled the sky. It was dark and gloomy, making them feel as if they had entered the Nine Underworlds. It was very eerie and scary inside. Even these geniuses were in high spirits. They didn't dare to be careless in the slightest.    

Just this aura was enough to give people a sense of crisis.    

"I really didn't expect that at the border of our Liufeng County... There's such a strange place. Those who were weaker would probably be devoured by this devil mist. This demonic fog... It actually had very strong offensive abilities. If one was a bit weaker, they would be directly killed by this demonic fog. What a strange place. And I keep feeling that this place is too oppressive." Lo Kehua said.    

Qin Xiao nodded. He had entered the Great Wilderness before and taken it as his own. Compared to this, the aura here was even scarier than the Great Wilderness.    

Qin Xiao thought of a question and asked, "Oh right, Lo Kehua, this is strange. Why can't I see the people of County Prince's Mansion in this Guard of Damo selection?"    

"Oh, you're talking about the people of County Prince's Mansion? That's a special group. Naturally, they will be given special treatment." Lo Kehua said and continued to explain, "As for the people of County Prince's Mansion... Every year, there will be one or two indicators, which is that there is no need to participate in this kind of selection. They can all become Guard of Damo. Furthermore, the County Prince's Mansion was originally a government official of the Damo Kingdom. The disciples of the County Prince's Mansion naturally belonged to the personal guards of the Damo Kingdom. In fact, the disciples of the County Prince's Mansion. When one is born, one is destined to become a Guard of Damo."    

"Does Mr. Qin Xiao know the difference between the personal guards of the Great Mo Guards and the external guards?"    

"A personal guard?" Qin Xiao shook his head. He really did not know about these things.    

Lo Kehua suddenly became interested. "Haha, I think Mr. Qin Xiao does not know much about these things. I do know a little about them. The so-called personal guards were the personal guards of Damo Kingdom. Although they are both Guard of Damo, their status is much higher than the guards. Personal guards. Once they joined, they would have to pledge their loyalty to King of Damo to the end of their lives. Furthermore, they had to absolutely obey orders. Basically, they did not have much freedom. As for the words of the guards... It was the Guard of Damo that most people knew. It was very free. It was not restricted, and its status was also extraordinary. It's also the Guard of Damo that attracts the most. "    

"Oh, there are actually personal guards. What's the advantage of a personal guard?" Qin Xiao asked curiously.    

Lo Kehua said, "If they are personal guards, they will be sent directly to the Damo Kingdom Imperial City, directly under the command of the personal guards. Moreover, they will be able to enjoy endless cultivation resources, cultivation techniques, and other benefits. They will even be given monthly salary, which is very attractive. Some people are still willing to sacrifice their freedom to join the personal guards. "    

" Of course, it's only temporary to say that they aren't free. Once they have the strength, they might even be able to become a County Lord or some other major official in the future. Then I'll be able to make a meteoric rise. Hence, there were still quite a number of Guard of Damo that joined the personal guards. Mr. Qin Xiao and the rest of you will become the Guard of Damo. You will also face these two choices. Now, you can prepare in advance."    

Only then did Qin Xiao feel relieved, but he still shook his head. "Sacrificing freedom in exchange for cultivation resources is something that I will never do. There is no need to join the personal guards."    

"Haha, I don't think you would do such a thing, Mr. Qin Xiao. Join a personal guard. That was indeed too much of a restriction. Ordinary people wouldn't be able to take it. Hence... The main source of the personal guards was to select the disciples of the County King Lua Feng Prefecture's officials. That way, the loyalty of the guards would be higher. The personal guards. They were the most elite troops in the most loyal city of Damo Kingdom. They protected the safety of Damo Kingdom. Identity and status. Quite extraordinary." Lo Kehua smiled.    

A personal guard like Lo Kehua who swore loyalty to the Damo Kingdom for his entire life could imagine that his status would definitely be extraordinary.    

However, Qin Xiao didn't like to be restricted.    

Nihong also shook her head and said: "I also do not like being bound. There is no need for personal guards. No matter how many cultivation resources there are, that's just an external factor. Cultivation still requires one to walk out step by step."    

Lo Kehua nodded in agreement." That's right. It is true that the main thing is to rely on one's own hard work. Relying on external forces. We will not be able to go far. However, there were some who were more independent. They were unwilling to become Guard of Damo. For example, the people of the Sky Python Sect would never participate in the selection of the Guard of Damo. However, the young generation of the Sky Python Sect... It's also very sharp. Young Master and Mangqi were the existences on the Willow County's Elite List. They were equally famous as Bai Jianqiu and Xuan Yan."    

The fact that the people of Sky Python Sect didn't participate in the Guard of Damo selection was really interesting.    

Qin Xiao had a lot of impression of Mangqi from the Sky Python Sect. To be honest, his impression of this man was neither good nor bad. It could only be considered that he had met him once, and had never interacted with him before.    

The four of them chatted as they advanced. Although they were chatting and laughing, they did not relax their vigilance.    

Gu Lingyue suddenly stopped. She pouted and said to a huge rock behind her, "Don't be sneaky. We have been following you all the way. We don't want to talk to you. What are you trying to do?"
