A few days later, Xiao Pang was called by Huolong Daoist, and the two of them met in the clean room. Xiao Pang was about to bow, but Huolong Daoist waved his hands to indicate that there was no need, and directly asked him to sit down.
Following which, Huolong Daoist went straight to the point: "Xiao Pang, this time I called you here to tell you about the punishment for killing the 3 King Kong Warriors!"
"Ah!" As Little Fatty heard that, he immediately laughed and said, "Go ahead, I'm listening! Hehe, how many years do you want to lock me up for? Up to you! I don't care! "
Hearing Xiao Pang's words, Huolong Daoist laughed bitterly and said: "Things have changed, so we don't intend to lock you up anymore!"
"En?" Xiao Pang heard and was shocked: "Hey hey, you can't be thinking of listening to Mister First and Mister Second and directly crippling me, right?"
"Of course not!" Huolong Daoist immediately shook his head: "Since I promised Senior Hong that I would protect you, how can I cripple you!"
Xiao Pang heard this and relaxed, and then laughed: "Hehe, as long as you don't cripple me, I'll accept any other punishment! What's the big deal! "
"Hehe, that's right, actually it's really not that big of a deal!" Huolong Daoist suddenly laughed awkwardly.
Xiao Pang was so astute, and with one look, he knew that something wasn't right. He hurriedly asked: "Sect master, what exactly is the punishment for me?"
"Actually it's nothing much, I just want you to go to the Eastern Ocean for a period of time!" Huolong Daoist rubbed his hands and said.
However, when Xiao Pang heard this, he was shocked. "Ah? Eastern Ocean? Don't tell me you want me to become a Demonic Beast Hunter? "
"Hehe, that's right!" Huolong Daoist said awkwardly.
"Heavens, sect master, do you not know where that place is? Less than 30% of the people who go to the East Sea Islands, which are known as the graveyard of cultivators, come back alive! "Xiao Pang couldn't help but feel a little annoyed." This is clearly sending me to my death! "
As it turned out, to the east of the Infinite Boundless Mountains, there was a vast and boundless sea, known as the Eastern Sea. There were a large number of water-type demonic beasts living in the Eastern Sea. There were so many of them that it was difficult to estimate. Moreover, there were many sixth or seventh level demonic beasts that could transform into human form.
Among these demonic beasts, the ones with higher cultivation bases lived on islands in the depths of the Eastern Sea, and were rarely seen. However, there were a huge number of middle and low-level demon beasts living on millions of small islands in the East Sea. As these small islands were close to the Infinite Boundless Mountain, the demonic beasts could easily cross the sea and come here.
Due to the fact that the demonic beasts' reproductive ability was too shocking, coupled with their large appetite, their numbers would sometimes reach the point where it was difficult to find food in the entire Eastern Sea.
Middle and low-level demon beasts didn't have much intelligence. Under the urge of hunger, they would eat whatever they saw, and would often lay their hands on other demonic beasts. This would easily lead to an intense internal conflict.
As for the high-level demon beasts in the depths of the Eastern Sea, they were unwilling to see their own people killing each other. Therefore, every time this happened, they would appear and lead the large number of middle and low-level demon beasts towards the Infinite Boundless Mountain, eating everything on the way.
As such, the cultivators of the Infinite Boundless Mountain were in for a bad time. No matter how sturdy their mountain gate was, no matter how strong they were, it would be difficult for them to withstand the attacks of the demonic beasts. Therefore, when this kind of beast tide disaster began, many sects were destroyed, including some famous sects with thousands of years of history.
Of course, the cultivators weren't idiots. After suffering a few losses, they thought of a way, and that was to massacre these middle and low-level demon beasts before the beast tide formed. As long as their numbers were maintained at a level where the Eastern Sea could satisfy the demand for food, they wouldn't form a beast tide.
However, to kill so many demon beasts, it was obviously impossible for a single sect to do so. Therefore, all the sects in the Infinite Boundless Mountain, including both righteous and demonic, joined forces and sent out a group of disciples to form an organization called the Eastern Sea Alliance. They were in charge of hunting demon beasts, and these disciples were called Demon Beast Hunters.
These Demon Beast Hunters had to kill a large number of demon beasts every year to complete their mission. During this process, it was obvious that casualties were unavoidable. Especially the demon beasts of the Eastern Sea. There were hundreds of thousands of species, and all of them lived in groups on small islands. If one wanted to kill them, it was obviously impossible to do so without paying a certain price. Therefore, the Demon Beast Hunters would often encounter danger during their 50-year term. Those who could survive the 50-year term were only about 30%. Seventy percent of the cultivators died in the Eastern Sea.
Therefore, when ordinary cultivators mentioned the Demon Beast Hunters of the Eastern Sea, they would sigh and turn pale. It was really too dangerous. There was simply no one who was willing to go. So much so that every ten years, they had to draw lots to decide who would go.
However, Xiao Pang remembered that the last time they drew lots seemed to be last year. At that time, he and Shuijin were in closed door cultivation and should have already escaped the calamity. Why did he still have to go?
Thinking of this, Xiao Pang couldn't help but ask curiously, "Sect master, the drawing of lots has already passed. What does it have to do with me?"
"Cough cough!" Huolong Daoist coughed twice, then laughed bitterly, "Isn't your situation special? Who told you to kill the Three Great Guardian Deities? Mister First and Mister Second wanted to cripple you no matter what. Wasn't I also forced to do so? Going to the Eastern Sea is better than crippling you, right? "
"It's not that strong?" Xiao Pang immediately said unhappily.
"Then do you want me to cripple you?" Huolong Daoist immediately said unhappily.
"Forget it, forget it!" Xiao Pang hurriedly waved his hand. If he was crippled, then he might as well die. Then, he suddenly asked curiously, "Sect master, didn't you say that you would only imprison me for ten years at most? Why did you suddenly change your mind? "
"Ai, you can't blame me for this!" Huolong Daoist laughed bitterly, "I, Mister First and Mister Second have argued about your matter countless times. These days, we have argued so much that I have a headache. But no matter what I said to them, those two fellows wouldn't budge no matter what. I had no choice but to ask my senior sister, Shuijin's master to settle this matter. I thought that senior sister would give face to Shuijin and punish you lightly. But who knew that she would actually ask you to go to the Eastern Sea! I say, did you offend her before? "
"No, I haven't even seen her before!" Xiao Pang couldn't help but feel wronged.
"Then you must have offended Shuijin!" Huolong Daoist said affirmatively.
"Impossible, we just went into seclusion to dual cultivate for three years. Without my help, could she have broken through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment in one fell swoop?" Xiao Pang said aggrievedly, "How is this offending her?"
"Damn, you damn fatty, seducing my family's Zirong and still thinking about Shuijin. I want to chop you to death now, let alone my senior sister who likes to protect her!" Daoist HuoLong could not help but scold, "Alright, alright, let's cut the crap. The matter of you going to the Eastern Ocean has already been decided. But luckily, you are only being banished to the army and not officially stationed there. Thus, you only need to stay there for 20 years!"
"20 years?" Xiao Pang immediately said sadly, "God, can I still come back alive?"
"50 years, you will die 70%. 20 years, the chance of survival is almost 50%. Anyway, it is half and half. It is because of this that I reached an agreement with Mr. First and Mr. Second. In short, you have to go whether you want to or not!" Huolong Daoist shrugged and said, "This is an ultimatum! Do you agree or not? "
"What will happen if I don't agree?" Xiao Pang asked weakly.
"You will be crippled!" Huolong Daoist said with a blank expression.
"So there is no choice?" Xiao Pang said helplessly.
"Yes!" Huolong Daoist nodded, then sighed and said, "Ai, don't be too discouraged. Eastern Sea is dangerous, but the opportunity is also great. There are rich resources there. All kinds of cultivation resources are much more than here, and they are very cheap. Plus, fighting is the best way to increase your strength, so it is not entirely a bad thing for you to go there. Maybe you will come back 20 years later with your strength increased. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone? "
"If I am buried in a foreign land, Mr. First and Mr. Second will kill two birds with one stone!" Xiao Pang said sadly.
In fact, Xiao Pang was extremely unwilling to go to such a dangerous place. After all, he was not short of money. The treasures in his life space were more than enough for his cultivation. It was not worthwhile to risk his life! He did not really think that he was immortal and invincible. Not to mention a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, even a Nascent Soul Cultivator died in the Eastern Sea. That damned place was simply not a place for humans to stay.
Unfortunately, Huolong Daoist had no way of changing the outcome. After all, this was Plum Blossom's idea. Furthermore, Mister First and Mister Second were adding fuel to the fire. As a sect master, he was in a difficult position. Thus, when he heard Xiao Pang's complaints, he became impatient and waved his sleeves to chase him away.
Soon, everyone in the Xuantian Monastery knew that the fatty was going to be sent to the East Sea to be a demon beast hunter. Some were happy, some were sad, and some had mixed feelings.
Mister First and Mister Second's factions were undoubtedly people who rejoiced in other people's misfortune. On the other hand, the old man of the Xuantian Monastery was full of sympathy for Xiao Pang. When Han Ling Feng heard this news, her tears fell like rain. Monkey also ran over to Xiao Pang and insisted on going to the East Sea with him. When Han Ling Feng heard this, her eyes lit up and she also clamored to go.
How could Xiao Pang let them take the risk? He could only bitterly persuade them, saying that the East Sea was a dangerous place. Cultivators below the Foundation Establishment Stage were courting death or they would be a burden.
When Monkey and Han Ling Feng heard this, they were speechless. They were not afraid of death, but they did not want to be a burden to Xiao Pang. Thus, in desperation, they finally listened to Xiao Pang and decided to stay in the Xuantian Monastery to cultivate. When they reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, they would go and find Xiao Pang.
When Xiao Pang heard this, he was naturally touched. He agreed and gave the two of them a large number of gifts, including the seeds of the Five Elements Lotus. However, Xiao Pang still reminded them that if they consumed it before they reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, they would definitely die. Thus, they must eat it after they reached the Foundation Establishment Stage. The two of them hurriedly agreed.
Just when Xiao Pang was comforting the two of them, Shuijin suddenly came over. She went straight to the point and said that she wanted to talk to Xiao Pang alone.
Han Ling Feng and Monkey were extremely tactful. They retreated and gave the two of them some privacy.
When only Shuijin and Xiao Pang were left in the room, Shuijin took a deep breath and said resolutely, "Senior Song, I want to go to the East Sea with you!"
When Xiao Pang heard this, he was first happy. However, he quickly laughed bitterly and said, "Don't joke around. How is this possible?"
"Why is it not possible?" Shuijin said unhappily, "Senior Song, don't you trust Shuijin's integrity?"
"No, no, that's not what I mean!" Xiao Pang hurriedly explained, "What I mean is that you have the sect's treasures, the Xuantian Tortoiseshell and the World Coin. These two spirit-connected treasures are the treasures of the Xuantian Monastery. Do you think that Huolong Daoist, Mister First and Mister Second will let you bring them to a place like the East Sea? What if you lose them? "
"I can put them in the sect!" Shuijin said hurriedly.
"Don't be silly!" Xiao Pang laughed bitterly and said, "Those two treasures are extremely helpful to your Divination. Without their help, you can't deduce everything about your opponent in an instant during a battle, right?"
"You can tell?" Shuijin said in surprise.
"Hehe, I'm not stupid. I can tell with a little guess. With your strength, how could you have calculated so accurately by yourself? If the Divination is really so mysterious, I'm afraid that the people who know it are invincible in the world. "Xiao Pang laughed.
"Humph, you obviously referred to my master's strength when she was young to come to this conclusion, right?" Shuijin suddenly laughed and said.
"Hehe, that's right. I read the records of the previous Inner Core Competitions in the sect and paid special attention to your master. I found that although she was very powerful when she was young, she was not as powerful as you. At least at that time, if she wanted to defeat a strong opponent with similar strength, she had to put in a lot of effort and strategy. She was not as confident as you are now. " Xiao Pang laughed and said, "So I guessed that the reason why she was not as good as you was not because of her talent, but because she did not have the two spiritual treasures to help her deduce, right?"
"You guessed right!" Shuijin said immediately, "I admit that without the help of the spiritual treasures, I can only deduce the opponent's next move during a battle. As for the opponent's magic treasures, the weakness of their cultivation skills and other situations, I can't deduce them. However, even so, you can't underestimate Shuijin! She can at least deduce your luck before the battle! "
"Forget it!" Xiao Pang grabbed Shuijin's shoulder and said seriously, "Junior Shuijin, really, it's not that I look down on you, but I really don't want you to take the risk! This time, I was the one who started it, so I naturally have to take it on myself. If you suffer for me, then am I, Song Zhong, still a man of indomitable spirit? "
"Senior Song!" Shuijin heard him and tears instantly flashed in her eyes.
