"Qin Zi, the rest will depend on your performance …"
Qin Fang had achieved a small part of his goal with the Trial Taker's token, but the real test had only just begun.
The position of the Taoist Sect's Great Divine Priest was incomparably revered. It was definitely not an easy task to reach such a peak, and the test one had to go through was also extremely difficult.
In particular, there was not much Qin Fang could do to help in this matter. It was mainly dependent on Qin Zi's own efforts …
"Young Master, please rest assured that Qin Zi will do her best!"
Qin Zi, this little girl, was not the least bit timid. Instead, her face was filled with excitement, as if she already had victory in her hands.
Seeing Qin Zi's pretty face flushed with excitement, Qin Fang could not help but sigh softly, "Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers."
Of course, Qin Fang himself was not much better. At such a young age, he had already fought with many peak experts of the older generation.
After entering the Trial Taker, Qin Zi could only rely on herself. Although Qin Fang and the others wanted to help, there was nothing they could do.
Sakura and the others were also participating in the Trial Taker, but they still had their own people by their side. Although they might not be able to help, at least they would have no problem blocking the attacks.
Qin Zi, on the other hand, was a loner. In theory, she was a member of the North Sea Dao Palace, but she had no relations with the various Holy Lands, sects, or factions.
As for her strength …
Originally, Qin Fang had thought that with her mid-Grandmaster level cultivation, she would definitely be able to suppress the heirs of the Six Holy Lands, who had the highest chance of winning. However, after seeing Hattori Jiusheng's performance, even Qin Fang himself was not so sure!
Hattori Jiusheng, whose strength was only at the early stage of the Grandmaster level, had suddenly become much more powerful after wielding the Demon Blade Muramasa. He could almost fight Kawada Musashi, whose strength was close to the late stage of the Grandmaster level, and even suppress him to the point that he did not have the slightest bit of temper.
Not to mention, Qin Zi's strength had come too quickly. She didn't have much combat experience, so the possibility of her being at a disadvantage was very high.
"Old Qin, why don't you participate in Qin Zi's place?"
Qin Fang wasn't the only one who knew about Qin Zi's flaw. Ji Xiang, Monk Wukong, and the others were also aware of it. When they saw Qin Fang's expression turn ugly, they couldn't help but ask.
"I have more important things to do …"
Qin Fang smiled bitterly and shook his head.
In fact, he originally planned to change his face to participate in the meeting. With him personally participating, even if Hattori Kousei had the Demon Blade Muramasa in his hand, Qin Fang could still deal with him.
Qin Fang could only shake his head helplessly when he found out about the schedule of the trial … he could only let Qin Zi fight.
"What happened?"
Hearing Qin Fang's words, the others were also confused. It seemed that they couldn't think of anything more important than this.
"This matter has nothing to do with you, it's my personal matter …"
Qin Fang shook his head and smiled bitterly. Then, he thought of something and turned to look at Ji Xiang. "Old Ji, you should be able to guess it!"
"I can guess it?"
Ji Xiang was slightly taken aback, as if he didn't quite understand, but soon his eyes lit up as if he thought of something. "You can't mean …"
Before Ji Xiang could say anything, Qin Fang had already nodded. "That's right, I do have to go to the Devil's Island …"
Although Monk Wukong and the others were people of the martial arts world, they weren't people of the underground world. Only Ji Xiang, who was also an assassin, could guess it.
Because there was still some time before the triennial trial of the underground world would begin. At that time, many experts of the underground world would be stationed on the Devil's Island for the trial.
Those who survived would naturally be able to leave the Devil's Island, and their strength would also increase by leaps and bounds. They could even obtain unexpected benefits.
As for those who died, they could only be buried on the Devil's Island …
Coincidentally, the Devil's Island's Demon Trial and the Dao God Sect's Divine Officer Trial coincided with each other …
If Qin Fang participated in the Divine Officer Trial, then he wouldn't be able to participate in the Demon Trial …
His father, Qin Fang, was still trapped on the Devil's Island and couldn't get out. Only Qin Fang could save him from there and truly reunite the family.
If he missed this opportunity, then Qin Fang could only wait for another three years …
Although twenty years had passed and waiting for another three years was too long, Qin Fang obviously couldn't wait any longer.
Compared to breaking into the Devil's Island to save his father, everything else could be temporarily put aside!
"Old Qin, I'll go with you!"
Hearing that Qin Fang was going to break into the Devil's Island, Ji Xiang couldn't help but express his excitement.
Although the few of them came to Fusang together and had been walking until now and could continue to walk, Monk Wukong and the others were obviously not qualified to go to the Devil's Island. Only he could accompany Qin Fang.
After all, the others weren't people from the underground world. Even Song Qingshan, a half-baked black fist expert, couldn't be regarded as a member of the Black Fist Alliance.
Only he and Qin Fang were assassins of the Assassin Alliance. Especially himself, he had been a five-star assassin for a long time.
Now that Ji Xiang's strength had reached the Grandmaster level, it wouldn't be a problem for him to become a six-star assassin. It wouldn't be too difficult for him to get a place in the Devil's Island Trial.
"You don't have to. It's more convenient for me to go alone!"
However, Qin Fang shook his head and said, "I'm not participating in it through normal means this time. If you follow me, you'll be more likely to be implicated by me …"
As he spoke, a sign appeared in Qin Fang's hand. It was the one that the Bloodhand Devilman had given to Qin Fang …
"Hiss ~ ~ ~"
Seeing this sign, even Ji Xiang couldn't help but suck in a breath of air.
He had been in the underground world for a long time, so he naturally knew what this Devil's Island Trial Token represented. This meant that Qin Fang definitely had the support of a higher-up in the underground world behind him.
This kind of token was very rare. It was said that every trial taker would only be given one before they officially entered the Devil's Island …
At the end of the trial, those who left the Devil's Island alive would naturally return the token. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to leave the Devil's Island. In other words, it was impossible for anyone to bring this token out.
As for those trial takers who had already died, it was even more impossible for them to bring their tokens out. They had all been confiscated by the experts on the Devil's Island …
However, now that Qin Fang had such a trial taker's token in his hand, he naturally obtained it through special means. It was absolutely impossible for a trial taker to secretly bring it out.
In fact, Qin Fang himself didn't know how his father had gotten the Bloodhand Devilman to bring this token out.
"Old Qin, what are you planning to do?"
However, the more he couldn't figure it out, the more curious Ji Xiang became. The main reason was that Qin Fang's gaze and expression looked very strange.
"Save people …"
Qin Fang was silent for a moment. In the end, he didn't hide anything and simply spat out these two words.
"Save people?"
This time, Ji Xiang wasn't the only one who was stunned. The others were also a little dumbfounded.
Although Monk Wukong and the others weren't particularly clear about what kind of existence the Devil's Island was, they vaguely knew that it was definitely a dangerous place in the underground world.
Every three years, a batch of trial takers would enter, but those who could truly leave alive never exceeded 30%. The remaining 70% would be buried here forever.
The people on the island also couldn't leave. Otherwise, information about the Devil's Island would have already been spread everywhere. How could it still be a mystery until now?
However, Qin Fang now said that he wanted to go to the Devil's Island to save people …
Just the two words' save people 'were enough to explain a lot of things.
The people he wanted to save definitely weren't trial takers who were participating in the Devil's Trial, because trial takers had the right to refuse to participate and could give up at any time. They didn't need to be saved at all, as long as they didn't participate.
Then, if he needed to make a special trip to the Devil's Island to save people, it could only be the people on the island …
"Hiss ~ ~ ~"
Once they understood this point, everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath.
It was said that the weakest trial takers of the Devil's Trial were peak master level experts, almost half a step into the Grandmaster level. There were also a lot of Grandmaster level experts who were slightly stronger than the rest.
However, even with such a lineup, the number of people who survived in the end didn't exceed 30%. Out of 100 trial takers who entered, only 20 or so people survived. This mortality rate was really quite high.
Even with so many experts rushing in, more than half of them would die. From this, one could see how dangerous this demonic island was. Almost all of the people who stayed on the island had lived for many years. Surviving in such an environment all year round, their strength was absolutely terrifying to the extreme.
However, Qin Fang wanted to save someone from so many terrifying experts … The difficulty of this was absolutely unimaginable.
"No wonder you're doing this."
Of course, it was also because of this that Qin Fang chose to use the Trial Taker's Token to enter, instead of asking for a trial taker's qualification through the Assassin Alliance.
What Qin Fang wanted to do was definitely something that many experts in the underground world didn't dare to think about, so he absolutely couldn't expose his identity.
The Devil's Island was too terrifying, and it was supported by the entire underground world. Once his identity was exposed, it would definitely bring about a devastating crisis.
This was something that Qin Fang had already imagined, so naturally, his father Qin Tiannan had also thought about it. That was why he had asked the Blood Hand Devilman to secretly bring this token out. He probably didn't want Qin Fang to enter the Devil's Island through the normal way …
"Brothers, Qin Zi is going to participate in the God Official Trial. I definitely won't be able to help much, so I'll have to trouble you all to take care of her …"
Qin Fang didn't let Ji Xiang continue speaking. He very solemnly entrusted his hopes to everyone present.
