Promoted to Whip Bearer!

In the vast and ancient Black Mountain Hall.

As Xu Ying and the Whip Bearer accompanying him entered, the surrounding darkness suddenly lit up with a whoosh.

Candlelight illuminated the entire hall, revealing a stone wall in the very center, on which the likeness of a stubborn rock was carved.

“Greetings, Black Mountain Hall Master!!!”

The Whip Bearer beside Xu Ying, as well as the two Whip Bearers accompanying Ye Qi and Nangong Ye, respectfully bowed.

Black Mountain Hall Master? A stone wall?!

Upon seeing this, Xu Ying’s eyelids twitched, and he was astonished.

This wall has become a spirit!

He quickly reacted and followed suit, shouting, “Greetings, Black Mountain Hall Master!”

Ye Qi and Nangong Ye also reacted, following with a loud shout.

The stubborn rock face on the stone wall frowned savagely and opened its pupils.

His gaze fell upon the few people, quickly sweeping over them.

He lazily asked, “Why have you summoned me?!”

“Reporting, Hall Master!”

The three Whip Bearers quickly bent lower and reported, “We are here to recommend new Disciples!”

“They have all mastered Black Mountain, and are qualified to become Disciples of our Black Mountain Hall!”

“Therefore, we need the Hall Master to examine them!”

Upon hearing this, the Black Mountain Hall Master’s eerie eyes swiveled on the stone wall.

Soon, his gaze fell upon Xu Ying and the other two, and this gaze was incredibly sharp.

“This gaze, it’s like he’s stripped me bare!!”

Xu Ying felt his pores instantly enlarge, and his hairs stood on end.

Fortunately, when this prying gaze entered his Inner World, a strange power suddenly erupted from his Inner World, isolating the probe.

“Oh!”

The Black Mountain Hall Master’s gaze showed surprise, and his eyes lit up again, seemingly probing more carefully.

But the final result was still the same—nothing was gained.

He retracted his gaze from the three, pondered for a moment, and said, “This matter is granted!”

“These three can all wield the Black Mountain Whip and become Disciples of my Black Mountain Hall!”

“Their duties shall be taught by you! Now, you may all disperse…”

Upon hearing the Black Mountain Hall Master’s words, the three quickly nodded in agreement, as this was an opportunity to prove themselves.

At the same time.

Within the Black Mountain Hall, with a command from the Black Mountain Hall Master.

Three Black Mountain Whips flew from afar, suddenly stopping and landing before Xu Ying and the other two.

“This is the Black Mountain Whip!”

Xu Ying suddenly grasped the Black Mountain Whip, and with a casual flick, it produced several crisp cracks in the air.

Moreover, after mobilizing Black Mountain within his body, it imbued the whip with even greater suppressive power!

After completing their promotion to Outer Sect Disciples of Black Mountain Hall, Xu Ying and the others exited the main hall.

The moment Xu Ying and Ye Qi’s gazes met, a surging killing intent emerged from both of them.

“This guy, there’s clearly no place for him in Heavenly Emperor Palace, so why is he still rising so quickly?!”

“This guy is too outrageous!”

Ye Qi looked at Xu Ying, thinking of the hardships he endured for three months in Heavenly Emperor Palace, and couldn’t help but feel a pang of emotion.

Three months of cultivation, under the abundant resources of Heavenly Emperor Palace.

He, a dignified Ancient Sacred Body, directly broke through to become a Great Power after establishing a Dao Palace, barely catching up to Xu Ying’s progress.

Yet, Xu Ying was incredibly stable; without the resources of Heavenly Emperor Palace, he could still achieve this level.

“I’ll deal with you properly then!”

Xu Ying glared, then followed the Whip Bearer to his mining area.

On the way, the horse-faced Whip Bearer in front also carried out the duties assigned by the Black Mountain Hall Master.

“Junior Brother, after joining Black Mountain Hall, you will automatically be promoted to a Whip Bearer!”

“From now on, you will also be responsible for overseeing these mine slaves to help Black Mountain Hall complete its mining tasks!”

“The mine vein I was originally responsible for will now be yours…”

Xu Ying listened and quickly responded, “Thank you, Senior Brother!”

Being able to oversee the mine vein of Uncle Chi and Aunt Chi perfectly suited his intentions.

That way, he could also find a way to let them slack off secretly.

“Junior Brother, since you’ve become a member of Black Mountain Hall.”

“As long as you diligently supervise those mine slaves to complete their tasks.”

“In less than a thousand years, you’ll be able to advance and become an Inner Sect Disciple of Black Mountain Hall!”

The horse-faced Whip Bearer gazed into the distance, speaking with some emotion.

However, Xu Ying’s pupils suddenly contracted upon hearing this.

It takes a thousand years to advance to Inner Sect Disciple? This Black Mountain Hall isn’t worth staying in!

The horse-faced Whip Bearer suddenly paused and added, “Of course, in Black Mountain Hall, as long as you make enough contributions, you can reduce the promotion time and also gain the favor and blessings of the Hall Master!”

“Ten years ago, a Senior Brother excavated an ancient mine from a million years ago in the mine vein!”

“He was highly regarded by the Hall Master at the time and was given the opportunity to comprehend a Law!”

Upon hearing this, Xu Ying’s heart suddenly calmed down again.

Since there are other ways to quickly advance, then the situation changes!

With daily intelligence, he still hasn’t retrieved the Essence of Heaven and Earth mentioned in the intelligence.

That is the Essence of Heaven and Earth, which is no less valuable than an ancient mine.

He just doesn't know what reward he can get from the Black Mountain Hall Master for this Essence of Heaven and Earth!

For a moment, Xu Ying felt a bit of anticipation.

“Alright, Junior Brother, that’s all I have to say.”

“I’ll be leaving now!”

“I still have to go manage more troublesome mine slaves in other mine veins!”

Xu Ying looked at the departing horse-faced Whip Bearer and nodded slightly, saying, “Goodbye, Senior Brother!”

After watching the horse-faced Whip Bearer leave, the friendly smile on his face instantly faded, replaced by an indifferent expression.

Now that he knew the rules within Black Mountain Hall and the duties of a Whip Bearer.

Without further ado, it was time for him to act!

“Swish!!”

The Black Mountain within Xu Ying’s body erupted, and the প্রান্তে света и края activated, constantly traversing through space within the forbidden zone.

He quickly returned to the mine vein where he had left.

Mine slaves were still digging away with clanging sounds, but no one noticed that someone had arrived from above.

“You guys say, can that Cultivator who went to Black Mountain Hall today succeed?”

“I’m so envious; if he succeeds, he’ll directly become a Whip Bearer!”

“Then he’ll be able to supervise you guys digging too!”

While some were envious, others were naturally worried.

The couple surnamed Chi exchanged glances, their eyes showing helplessness, saying, “That kid is about the same age as Qing Ning; entering the forbidden zone was probably an act of desperation, just like us back then.”

“I hope he can successfully enter Black Mountain Hall!”

“That’s much better than being a mine slave here!”

And in the next moment, Xu Ying turned and appeared before them.

“Uncle Chi!!”

Xu Ying nodded with a smile, but the Black Mountain Whip in his hand was a bit dazzling, scaring the surrounding mine slaves into retreating and dispersing.

“Little Xu, you’re back!”

Father Chi’s face lit up when he saw Xu Ying.

See, his nagging really worked out.

That’s great!
