Jun Changxiao wanted to provide Su Xiaomo with a platform to show off. He wanted to shine in the Taixuan Shengzong outer sect disciples' training and be recognized by the higher-ups.
In fact.
Su Xiaomo had a whole set of plans.
First of all, he pretended to be a Martial Master in the Taixuan Shengzong. It was unrealistic to be the best in the Yunling Mountains, so he decided to take the tragic route.
What was the tragic route?
It was to deliberately create trouble for Sun Yingquan and Xia Shuiyun. At the critical moment, he would step forward to take the damage for them and pretend to be seriously injured.
The plan was perfect, but the reality was cruel.
The Purple King lost control of his emotions when he saw his clan members being killed. He directly gathered tens of thousands of beasts and formed a beast tide to attack the outer sect disciples of the Taixuan Shengzong.
At this time, Su Xiaomo definitely could not step forward. After all, he was only a Martial Master. If he could survive the beast tide, he would definitely be doubted.
However.
What was more desperate was that.
Elder Niu's original body appeared and beat up Elder Sun. Only a group of outer sect disciples were left trembling.
In this situation, he might not be able to win even if he used his Martial King cultivation!
The plan and plot were all messed up. The difficulty level was raised by N levels. Su Xiaomo could not act at all!
Saying that Hall Master Zi and Elder Niu were not qualified actors was already mild.
It was unpleasant to hear.
A group of useless teammates!
However, no matter how wrong the plot was, no matter how difficult the play was, he still had to act!
Su Xiaomo stood up, his arms hanging down. He said shakily, "If … if you want to kill, kill me. Don't … don't hurt my Senior Brother …"
Not only did he have to continue the tragic route, but he also had to find a way to stall for time.
As one of the top sects, they should have received the news that the outer sect disciples were attacked by beasts and should have sent reinforcements.
Yes.
They had received it.
However, it would take some time to reach the Yunling Mountains from the sect.
"Gou Sheng …"
Sun Yingquan, who was seriously injured on the ground, was stunned.
He did not expect Junior Brother Su to be so manly in this situation. On the other hand, he and the other disciples were scared out of their wits.
"Bang!"
Elder Niu slapped him again.
"Boom!"
Su Xiaomo crashed into the wall and used his spirit energy to force the blood out of his body. He staggered to his feet, and his eyes shone with determination despite his messy hair. "Can these two palm strikes … exchange for my senior brother's two lives?"
"Junior Brother Su …"
The outer disciples of Taixuan Shengzong were all stunned.
"Kekeke."
Old Monster Ox laughed and said, "Kid, you're pretty tough. Alright, let's play a game. Take one of my palms and I'll spare your life."
Fortunately, this old man could follow the plot. Otherwise, there would be no way to continue acting.
"Hu — — —"
Su Xiaomo took a deep breath. Because he had aggravated his injuries, his face suddenly turned ferocious.
"Come … come …"
Every action and action of a qualified spy had to be at the level of an award-winning actor.
The Taixuan Shengzong disciples had already determined from his superb acting skills that he was struggling to hold on, that he was using his life to stall for time.
Boom!
Old Monster Ox struck again.
Su Xiaomo flew out beautifully and then fell to the ground. One of his legs was twitching slightly.
"…"
Old Monster Ox thought to himself, "His acting is really good!"
Although it looked like he had used a lot of strength, it was actually just so-so. Martial Disciples wouldn't feel pain.
"Wah!"
Su Xiaomo forced out another mouthful of blood and staggered to his feet.
Sun Yingquan and Xia Shuiyun were both stunned. After being hit so many times, he was clearly seriously injured. How could he still stand up?
"Heh."
Old Monster Ox said in surprise, "You're a little Martial Disciple. Seems like I'll have to use more strength."
This sentence was to tell the Taixuan Shengzong disciples that he didn't want to kill Su Xiaomo. It was to explain why he could take so many hits.
"Old Monster Ox."
Su Xiaomo transmitted his voice, "Hit harder. Break his bones!"
If he kept standing up like a roly-poly toy, there would definitely be flaws. If he wanted to play, he would play to the limit.
Whoosh!
Old Monster Ox threw a punch.
"Bang — — —"
"Crack!"
The sound of ribs breaking could be heard. Su Xiaomo flew out and fell to the ground with a loud bang.
"Junior Brother Su!"
Sun Yingquan suppressed his injuries and roared with his fist clenched.
At that moment, the Taixuan Shengzong disciples' eyes were filled with grief. After all, Gou Sheng was trampled by the spirit beast for everyone!
"Bastard!"
Sun Yingquan said angrily, "If … if you have the guts, come at me. Don't hurt my junior brother …"
Although this guy was a little arrogant, at this moment, Su Xiaomo's unyielding performance had stimulated his manhood.
As for the other disciples, they also showed an expression of facing death with equanimity.
"Don't worry."
Old Monster Ox smiled coldly, "It's almost your turn …"
Because Su Xiaomo got up with difficulty and half knelt. One hand was on the ground and the other hand was on his chest. Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. He said in a voice as soft as a mosquito, "I … I haven't … fallen …"
"Old Monster Ox!"
"Come and stomp on him!"
He could only bet on the Taixuan Shengzong's reinforcements. All he could do was to delay as much time as possible.
"Understood!"
Old Monster Ox walked over and said coldly, "It seems that I'm too merciful to let you live until now!"
He lifted his foot and stomped down.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
He stomped crazily.
"Junior Brother Su …"
If Sun Yingquan was not injured, he would have rushed up even if there was a possibility of death.
"Bang bang bang!"
Old Monster Ox trampled on Su Xiaomo to his heart's content.
The outer disciples of the Taixuan Shengzong who were huddled together all stared angrily.
"Are they still not coming …"
Although Xia Shuiyun in the crowd still looked cold, she was very anxious in her heart.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, in the distant sky, hundreds of streamers were flying at an extremely fast speed. The aura in the sky was very strong!
"Old Monster Ox."
The Purple King transmitted his voice, "We can retreat now."
"Let's go."
"Swish! Swish! Swish! "
In an instant, Old Monster Ox and the other spirit beasts retreated.
The tens of thousands of ferocious beasts surrounding the outer disciples of the Taixuan Shengzong also scattered like birds.
As soon as they disappeared, the experts of the Taixuan Shengzong landed one after another. These people were all at the Emperor Stage. If they fought with The Purple King, it would be earth-shattering.
"Are you all okay?"
The middle-aged leader asked.
"Elder Shen!"
Xia Shuiyun hurriedly pointed at Su Xiaomo who was lying in the distance and covered in bruises and said, "Junior Brother Su is seriously injured. He needs to be treated quickly!"
Woman.
You're not cold at all.
Su Xiaomo fainted with satisfaction.
Although the difficulty of the play increased a lot, he made the right bet. The Taixuan Shengzong was quite fast in terms of rescue.
…
When Su Xiaomo, who pretended to be unconscious, woke up, he was already in the hospital bed of the Taixuan Shengzong.
"Junior Brother Su!"
Sun Yingquan, whose wrist was bandaged, hurriedly got up and said, "You're finally awake!"
"Senior Brother Sun …"
Su Xiaomo said, "What … what is this place?"
Sun Yingquan knew that he was unconscious and didn't know what happened later, so he hurriedly explained.
"Is that so … everyone is safe …" Su Xiaomo smiled with difficulty and said, "That … that's great."
Sun Yingquan said, "Junior Brother Su, you stepped forward in the face of danger and bought time for everyone to prevent more of your fellow disciples from dying. I'm really touched!"
"This … this is what I should do … cough cough …"
Su Xiaomo didn't continue because he needed to pretend that he was seriously injured.
Life was like a play. It all depended on acting.
Sun Yingquan hurriedly said, "Don't talk. Heal your injuries first."
"Pa."
Xia Shuiyun appeared in the ward and put a bottle of pills on the table. She said lightly, "This is the Tranquil Heart Ice Pill. It can quickly heal injuries."
After that, she turned around and left.
"This …"
Sun Yingquan was stunned.
The Tranquil Heart Ice Pill was a top-grade healing medicine in the sect. It was extremely difficult to obtain, but this woman actually took out a bottle!
…
In the main hall.
More than ten elders of the Taixuan Shengzong were talking.
The topic was, why did an Emperor-level spirit beast appear in the periphery of the Yunling Mountains? Why did a group of ferocious beasts riot?
Elder Shen guessed, "The altar sent a message earlier that The Purple King has been unsealed. Could it be that guy's doing?"
"It's possible."
"It seems that if we don't find that monster as soon as possible, it will be a threat to the Taixuan Shengzong and the entire continent."
"We have to find it, but it's the altar's business. We don't have to force ourselves."
"Is the disciple named Gou Sheng alright?"
"Although he was seriously injured, he was treated in time. He is now out of danger."
"In a life and death situation, he still stood up for his fellow disciples and stalled for time. This courage is precious. I think it must be rewarded." Elder Sun said.
Elder Xia next to him said, "Shui Yun told me what happened. At that time, all the outer disciples were scared. Only he dared to stand up. He should be used as an example."
Since the two of them could help Su Gou Sheng, it meant that the trick of injuring oneself was not in vain. At least, they had won the favor of the two elders.
The third elder, who was more authoritative, was silent for a while and said, "This time, the training was interrupted because of a group of beasts. Su Gou Sheng is the winner. He will be rewarded with 500 merit points."
No one had any objection.
If it weren't for Su Gou Sheng risking his life and successfully stalling for time, hundreds of disciples would have been killed. He deserved the merit points.
…
"Junior Brother Su!"
Sun Yingquan came to the ward and said excitedly, "In view of your performance in the Yunling Mountains, the elders have discussed and decided to reward you with 500 merit points."
Su Xiaomo was stunned.
In the plan, he didn't fight for anything in this training in the Yunling Mountains. He only needed to play the role of a tragic character and win the favor of two disciples with elders backing them. He didn't expect to receive such a high amount of merit points!
He was rewarded because of The Purple King.
However, that guy was now standing with Elder Niu in the Spirit Beast Hall, being reprimanded by Jun Patriarch.
"Two elders!"
"I asked you to help Su Xiaomo act cool and give him a chance to shine. I didn't ask you to attack the group of beasts. I didn't ask you to act cool!"
"The Taixuan Shengzong sent so many Emperor Stage experts to help. If there was a mistake and your identity as a disciple was exposed, you wouldn't be able to escape the blame even if you died ten thousand times!"
The Purple King whispered, "It can't be that serious, right?"
"Swish!"
Jun Changxiao sat down and drank a cup of tea. He said, "If you don't handle the matter well, two of your meals will be reduced this month. Your mid-grade beast cores will be halved."
"Ah?"
