Evening twilight descended upon Sword Tomb Mountain once more.
Beside the Sword Pool on Sword Tomb Mountain, only the increasingly solemn Sect Leader Xie Tian and the Third Elder, whose expression shifted between cloudy and sunny, remained.
Mu Liang and the other twenty-nine had all passed the three trials and become outer sect disciples of Sword Tomb, but the third trial had not ended because there was still one person who had not emerged from the Sword Pool.
Already twenty-four hours earlier, Mu Liang and the others had been sent down the mountain by the Third Elder, for if they stayed longer, their hard-earned Sword Intent might collapse.
Since Xie Tian had entered the Sword Pool, a full day and night had passed.
Li Jian's record of ten hours was silently broken.
What was even more horrifying was that, within twenty-four hours, despite being covered in blood, Xie Tian had still not activated his Inner Qi to resist the fierce Sword Qi.
