The middle-aged man was shocked, but he understood the situation .

Once the absolute-kill sword array started, it could only be closed by a Sword Faction elder .
However, Elder Lin might have used quite a lot of energy to shut down the absolute-kill sword array so urgently .
“Yes,” replied the middle-aged man as he looked up at Ye Qingtang on the Eight Trigrams Stage .
“Ye Qingtang, the sword array is turned off already . You can come down . ”
On the Eight Trigrams Stage, Ye Qingtang’s breathing was rather hurried . It had not been a month since her spirit root rebuilt, and her body still experienced the pain of having a spirit root dug out; thus, she had not fully regained her strength . Under normal circumstances, she would have definitely died in the sword array .
She was able to live until now only because of the experiences she accumulated in her previous life when fleeing for her life .

Ye Qingtang took a deep breath and calmed her erratic breathing, though her heart was already on alert .
There were many magical objects on earth, and who knew which of them would be able to sense the aura of the Heart of the Demon God . She really had to be even more careful in the future .
Moreover, she did not know whether…
Xuanling Sect found any clues .
The middle-aged man could not help but admire Ye Qingtang when he saw that she was not at all flustered even though she seemed exhausted .
If it were to be any other candidate, they most likely would have died in the sword array . It was indeed unusual for Ye Qingtang, however, to stay this calm and composed and even be so indifferent after the incident .

“Senior, do I need to retake this sword array assessment?” Ye Qingtang’s first sentence upon coming down from the Eight Trigrams Stage stunned the middle-aged man .
Retake the assessment?
The middle-aged man took a look at the messy Eight Trigrams Stage and felt a shiver down his spine .
There was a sudden change to the sword array, and god knows what abnormality actually happened . Under such circumstances, the Sword Faction would definitely not start up the sword array again within a short period of time .
Nonetheless, it was good that Ye Qingtang was the last candidate .
“There is no need . You can just head straight to the location of the third segment,” the middle-aged man said .

Ye Qingtang did not say anything further . She had used up too much energy just now, and her body did not have a strong foundation from the start . Using all her energy in a fight like this had physically exhausted her .
Luckily…
Ye Qingtang knew that the third segment did not require too much energy .
After a slight nod, Ye Qingtang left, and her anxious heart calmed down a little .
If she could continue taking the assessment, it meant that Xuanling Sect did not discover the Heart of the Demon God . Now, she could rest assured .
When Ye Qingtang headed for the location of the third segment, the four elders’ hearts were heavy .
“Elder Lin, why did the absolute-kill sword array start without a reason?” Elder Qin looked towards a rather exhausted Elder Lin who was walking back slowly .
“It is still unknown as of now . I have ordered Sword Faction disciples to close the sword array down temporarily . I will investigate in detail after this assessment . ” Elder Lin’s complexion was pale . Once the absolute-kill sword array started, only he and Xuanling Sect’s Sect Master could forcefully turn it off by using large amounts of energy .
He urgently closed the absolute-kill sword array just now, and, thus, his breathing was still erratic .
“I hope such incidences will not happen again . The sword array is not set up only for candidates . If we face external enemies and the sword array experiences an abnormality, it would be unfavorable to the sect,” Elder Qin said with a slight front . From his point of view, the sword array was administered by the Sword Faction, and it was definitely the Sword Faction’s responsibility now that something happened to it .
This time, Elder Lin did not talk back, and a deep frown set on his face . He himself could not understand why the absolute-kill sword array started up for no reason .
“Forget it . There is no accident in the end . Just pay more attention in the future,” said the Fist Faction elder, who stood up as a mediator .
