This safe place was marked out on the map, but any practitioner with a bit of intelligence could tell that it was a natural moat. It didn't matter if it was a beast or a bird, they wouldn't be able to get in here. Spirit beasts were usually bigger, and they didn't have much attack power. As long as a practitioner hid here, no spirit beast would be able to harm them.
Mo Ba found this place pretty quickly- the two met up on the first night of the test.
"Gunslinger, did you get the elixir for the test?" Mo Ba asked.
"No, there's none nearby, and I didn't look for it. Wait, this place's pretty obvious. It won't be long before other practitioners find their way here, and we'll just take it for ourselves then," Naipao said faintly.
"You're right- with Gunslinger's abilities and skills, he wouldn't need to go find it himself at all. Only an idiot would go find it himself!" Mo Ba said respectfully.
"Let's rest for a bit," Naipao said faintly, "The qi here is quite thick, I'll train for a bit."
"Gunslinger, didn't they say that the Five's Malevolence is harmful to practitioners? Why are you … "Mo Ba said, startled.
"Haha, look at what kind of arts I'm practising, my Wasp Absorption Arts! What qi can't I absorb? As long as it's qi, it doesn't matter if it's Five's Malevolence Qi, or even poison! " Naipao laughed casually, "This place is perfect for me to train, and I'll take some time to consolidate my strength."
And so, Naipao trained while Mo Ba stood guard beside him. Their luck wasn't that good, however, as they didn't see a single practitioner the whole time. Mo Ba couldn't help but panic, "Liang Bro, something's not right, we've been waiting for so long, why haven't we seen a single practitioner?"
"How long has it been? Let's wait, there's no need to rush, "Naipao said calmly.
Naipao hadn't even finished his words when he heard voices coming from outside the Safe Place. Someone was coming!
"Master Yang, we're really lucky- there's a place here that looks pretty good, we can avoid the attacks of spirit beasts!" The person outside said.
"Indeed, we can hide here and rest for a while before rushing to the teleportation array." The person called Young Hero Yang said. He was an expert from the Flame Mountain and was a Peak Mid-stage Heaven Rank expert.
The one who spoke to him was an Earth class mid phase master from the Dark Palace, and the other one who didn't speak was also an Earth class early phase master from the Dark Palace. Both of them were just there to carry Young Hero Yang's shoes, but following behind a peak Heaven class mid phase master could greatly reduce the danger. Look, they had met a Mystic class spirit beast earlier, and it was beaten away by Young Hero Yang. Although they didn't have much of an advantage, if these two Earth class masters from the Dark Palace went up against it, then even if they didn't die, they would be heavily injured.
Moreover, with Young Hero Yang's protection, they were able to successfully collect the trial's elixir. Although there was only one for each of them, it was already very good. If the two of them were to act alone, they might not be able to collect the elixir and might even lose their lives.
"After you, Young Hero Yang …" Disciple A said, and made a gesture of invitation.
Young Hero Yang nodded and led the way into the safe area. However, he paused when he went in- he saw Naipao and his follower Mo Ba here as well.
But, Young Hero Yang wasn't too afraid. As far as he was concerned, he was a Sky class mid phase peak after all, and as long as he didn't provoke Naipao, then Zhang Naipao wouldn't do anything to him.
The two disciples from the Dark Palace followed Young Hero Yang in, and they too paused when they saw Naipao. They were a little fearful, but remembering that Naipao was only a Sky class early phase, and his follower Mo Ba mid phase, while Young Hero Yang was a Sky class mid phase peak, they calmed down.
"The three of you seem to be very satisfied with your harvest?" Mo Ba grinned and suddenly asked the three of them.
"What do you mean?" Disciple B turned around, a little wary.
"It's nothing- hand over the elixir, and Gunslinger will let you live." Mo Ba said faintly.
"Hand it over? Why? " Disciple B was startled. He came with a mission this time- he needed to get a qi gathering pill from the Sky Elixir sect, allowing the sect master to level up from Earth class late phase peak to Sky class early phase. This was the last chance, and while the qi gathering pill had its drawbacks, the drawbacks would disappear once the inheritance was mastered, and there would be no more barriers to leveling up.
The time for that plan was getting closer and closer, and if the Dark Palace wanted a piece of the pie, they had to hurry. The problem now was that the sect master Ye Wan 'er hadn't broken through to Sky class yet, and the higher the strength, the higher the chance of mastering the inheritance. The Dark Palace had no other choice but to resort to this.
"Why? Because Gunslinger can decide your life and death! " Mo Ba hmphed coldly, "If Gunslinger wants you to live, you'll live. If he wants you to die, you'll die."
"Aren't you being too overbearing?" Disciple B couldn't help but say.
"Overbearing? From the moment you stepped into the ranks of practitioners, you should know what it means to be the strong preying on the weak. Isn't it a little too late to talk about overbearing now? " Mo Ba said with disdain, "Alright, we're all here for the test, and I don't want to hurt our friends- our Gunslinger's principle is, hand over the item, and we won't kill you. If you want to live, then do it quickly. If you want to die, then I won't stop you."
"You …" Disciple B was about to say something when the other disciple A pulled him back. He gestured to Disciple B to see what Young Warrior Yang had to say. The strongest person here was Young Warrior Yang, and the two of them were only Earth classes- they didn't have much say here.
"Hero Yang, you mean …" Dark Palace disciple A looked at Fire Mountain's Hero Yang.
"Zhang Naipao, don't push yourself- if we really fight, I'm not scared of you- I'm a Sky class mid phase peak, different from that Tu Junwang early phase peak." Yang was quite pissed as well- he'd been flattered by the first and second disciples on the way here, and now that he was being robbed by Naipao, it was only natural that he wasn't happy about it, especially in front of his two followers- how could he back down?
