In the earlier test.
Ye Qiubai fell into a trap and was ambushed by the Xuanyuan Clan.
If not for his timely reaction and Mu Fusheng's support, he would likely have been caught in a death trap.
The Xuanyuan Clan were a top family. With their deep foundation and the trap holding him down, resistance was naturally unlikely.
Moreover.
Among the opposition were two late-stage Monarch God Realm cultivators, alongside Xuanyuan Che, whose Sword Dao realm was notably advanced.
Mu Fusheng stood in front of Ye Qiubai, staring at the Xuanyuan Clan's group in front of him, and asked Ye Qiubai, "Senior Brother, are you okay?"
Ye Qiubai's face was pale, and he said gravely, "I need the time of an incense stick to burn."
Such severe injuries, if endured by an ordinary person, might require over ten days to recover.
It was only thanks to Lu Changsheng's medicinal pills and the endless vitality contained within the Primordial Sword Scripture that recovery was possible.
