Song Yueyao shook her head slightly, without answering.
She had no answer in her heart either.
Passing the Menghe River in Feng Mountain was extremely difficult. If it were disciples of the Black and White Hall, there would be a slight possibility, but for outer court disciples… unless the person had already achieved the Soul Succession Realm.
The black-robed scholar was genuinely of the Soul Succession Realm, and his soul was extremely fierce, akin to facing two Soul Succession experts.
The assessment for the outer court disciples wasn't to kill the black-robed scholar but to achieve a completion rate of 50%.
Massacring nearly half the villagers would count as completion.
This test already involved sneaking, hiding, pure strength, and movement technique among other aspects, making it very difficult.
After all, slaughtering nearly half would easily alert the black-robed scholar. Once he took action, even the disciples of the Black Hall had to flee.
