After waiting for a while, the sky gradually darkened, and Captain Lin opened the seal of the dense forest on time, waiting for the contestants to come out one after another.

It can be seen that everyone has gained a lot and their faces are filled with happy smiles.

Captain Lin saw that the number of people who had returned was almost the same. After waiting for an hour and seeing no one else coming out, he gave the order, "Seal the entrance to the dense forest."

"Wait a minute, there are still people who haven't come out yet."

Captain Lin glared at the woman fiercely, his eyes full of disdain, "Did I say that you can't wait any longer? An hour has passed. If you release the spirit beast in the dense forest and let everyone suffer, can you bear the consequences?"

The person being taught a lesson was speechless and could only look to others for help, but he saw that others were looking at him sideways, indicating that the matter had nothing to do with them.

Guerlain and the others waved to the woman, who walked over timidly, allowing her fellow apprentices to intercept her, and did not reject the kindness of Guerlain and the others. Guerlain saw that the woman seemed to be afraid of them, so she stopped the people behind her, "You said there are still people inside, right?"

The woman nodded. "They were the non-disciples from Yixian Pavilion and Qingfeng Pavilion. When they came out, they were attacked by spirit beasts and fell unconscious. We didn't see them come out."

Jiaolan touched her chin and looked at Yingji behind her, "Have the disciples of Zitan Pavilion returned?"

Ying Ji nodded and saluted, "Everyone has returned."

Guerlain spread her hands and said, "Then there's nothing we can do. Rules are rules. If they're lucky, they should be able to make it back. Obviously, they didn't."

The woman was stunned. "I thought you wanted to come in to rescue us, but you were just scolding us. I trusted you so much."

Guerlain raised an eyebrow, "You are so capable, why don't you go in and save them yourself? Why do you have to blackmail us here?"

The woman tightened the sword in her hand and asked everyone, "Don't you care about the life and death of those people?"

Seeing that no one answered, she looked at her fellow apprentices for help. The fellow apprentices, led by Shangguan Yi, consoled her, "Little apprentice sister, I know you are righteous, but the disciples in their own pavilion don't care, so why should you worry?"

"You are so worried. Why don't you go by yourself? Everyone knows that the dense forest at night is full of dangers. There are also signs of invisible night-vision creatures and unknown creatures. Who would go in to save people when they know they are going to die? Moreover, their own disciples did not go to rescue them. It is obvious that they have been abandoned."

The woman listened to the people's sarcastic remarks and felt angry. "You call yourselves a prestigious and upright sect, but you don't care about your own disciples. Fine, if you don't go, I'll go alone!"

The woman has seen through the true faces of these people. Even though the Xuanbing family has abundant resources and does not look down on their disciples, the righteous woman naturally cannot stand these righteous people who treat human lives as worthless, and she disdains to associate with them.

Captain Lin reminded coldly, "Don't forget that you have signed a life and death agreement. It's ok if you don't consider your own safety, but don't affect your own sect."

The woman bowed to Shangguan Yi and said, "Brother, this journey is full of dangers. I, Shangguan Guan'er, hereby declare that it is my personal wish to go and save people. My life or death has nothing to do with the Shangguan family or even the Xuanbing Pavilion. Today I will take off this Xuanbing Pavilion disciple's attire and leave the sect."

Shangguan Yi frowned and stopped Shangguan Guaner who was determined to explore the dense forest at night, "Guaner, why do you have to do this?"

"Brother, don't you think that these people who claim to be righteous are doing things worse than animals? The Shangguan clan has not been concerned with worldly affairs for many years. If they hadn't come to participate in this competition, they wouldn't have known that the world outside has become like this. It really brings shame to the righteous cultivators."

Shangguan Guaner's words made everyone present look sideways. If they deceived themselves by not looking at her, it would be the same as not scolding themselves.

Guerlain, however, sneered and laughed at these righteous people.

Shangguan Guan'er attacked indiscriminately. She glared at Jiaolan coldly and said, "You demon cultivators are also like this. Why make fun of others?"

Guerlain shrugged, without commenting or refutation. She had seen many women with such excessive virginity who risked their lives unnecessarily to save some insignificant people, who might not even appreciate it and might even turn the tables. She didn't know if this young lady would be able to come out alive after tonight. Even if she was lucky enough to escape, she would not be able to escape unscathed. Why bother arguing with her?

Shangguan Guaner cursed at everyone and finally glared at Captain Lin. She really took off her Xuanbing Pavilion clothes, turned around and walked into the dense forest without looking back.

Shangguan Guaner's episode did not affect anyone, but Jiaolan curled her lips and said something to Yingji.

Seeing this, Commander Lin said coldly, "Are there any other idiots like her?"

Seeing no one answering, Captain Lin gave the order, "Seal off the dense forest, hand in the results, and the second round of the competition is officially over."

Finally, it came to this point, and the seal of the dense forest closed again. No one noticed that a black figure sneaked in at the moment the seal was closed.

Captain Lin ordered his men to count the spoils and divide those who completed the mission and those who did not into two groups. There was almost no difference between the righteous cultivators and the evil cultivators.

From a perspective of tens of thousands of people competing, only one-fourth of them are left. This number still makes Nanyuan Kingdom extremely satisfied. After all, it is just as Jin Yan expected, Nanyuan Kingdom does not need so many cultivators to enter the court.

Among them, disciples from Qingfeng Pavilion and Yixian Pavilion accounted for the majority, with almost no disciples from Xuanbing Pavilion, Fenghuang Pavilion did not participate, and it was basically equivalent to all members of Haoyue Pavilion being eliminated, and disciples from Zitan Pavilion also accounted for a minority.

The number of inner elixirs handed in reached about seven or eight thousand, and the highest level of inner elixirs could reach the fifth level. Captain Lin glanced at the more than 2,000 people who had advanced.

"You have passed the second level of the competition. I hope you can take part in the third level tomorrow. As for the rest of you, I hope you can leave here as soon as possible before the third level of the competition. Don't wait for me to come and drive you home." Captain Lin's words were full of warnings.

After saying this, Captain Lin ordered his men to take the spoils away and ignore the contestants.

Seeing that Captain Lin's people had gone far away, the Qingfeng Pavilion looked at the demon cultivators of the Zitan Pavilion and laughed, "Where is your tenth-level inner elixir? Did your master take it away?"

"It's none of your business. Mind your own business."

Qingfeng Pavilion continued to criticize, "Some people just can't see their own weight and weight, and try to use small things to fight big things, but they are just making wedding clothes for others."

The demon cultivators certainly knew what the tenth-level inner elixir was used for, but they did not realize that the cultivation base of the demon cultivators they had seen before had improved to varying degrees, but they just did not dare to believe it.

Feng Hanyun and Jin Yan were not there, so Wan Ling was their leader. She ignored Qingfeng Pavilion's scolding and said, "Let's go back and rest early, so that we won't be robbed of our food by those villains."

When it comes to food, the demon cultivators were too lazy to argue and followed Wan Ling to leave.
