After Cultivator Sun finished introducing everyone, Cultivator Sun suddenly said with a serious expression:
"Speaking of which, Liu Ming came at the right time. We were just discussing the competition with the Demon Race."
"Competition?" Liu Ming was startled when he heard this.
"Yes, yesterday, the Demon Race suddenly changed their previous tough attitude and proposed to join forces to open the ruins and obtain the treasures together. However, regarding the distribution of the treasures, the other party proposed to divide it into seven equal parts. After seven one-on-one matches, the results will be decided." Cultivator Sun slowly explained.
"Humph, would they be so kind? Isn't it because Senior Martial Brother Sun fought against two Jin Dan cultivators a day ago and was accidentally injured? Now that they proposed this kind of competition, it's really shameless! "One of the Haoran Academy disciples with a black mole on his face snorted a few times and said.
"Yes, Senior Martial Brother Sun, if we agree to this proposal, wouldn't it be the same as asking us to be their dowry and give the treasures in the ruins to the Demon Race?" Another young Haoran Academy cultivator said.
As soon as this remark was made, the expressions of the other people present also became dignified.
Everyone present knew that the reason why they were able to contend against the Demon Race until now was mainly due to their advantage in numbers and tactics. Moreover, the so-called resistance was only superficial. They won less than they lost in the battle against each other. The Demon Race was only worried that the Human Race would launch a sneak attack while they were breaking the restriction, so they didn't really fight to the death.
Now that the strongest among them was injured, no one could deal with the two Jin Dan cultivators. In the remaining five matches, it was likely that the Human Race wouldn't even be able to win half of them. After all, the Demon Race cultivators of the wild continent had powerful bodies. In a one-on-one situation, the advantage was very obvious.
At this time, Liu Ming also came to a sudden realization. It turned out that the two Haoran Academy disciples were so enthusiastic about him joining the alliance because they believed that he could win a match.
"Two Junior Martial Brothers, don't be anxious. I have also thought about this matter carefully and feel that it is still possible. Firstly, both of us have been fighting non-stop for the past few days and both of us have suffered heavy losses. Based on the current situation, neither of us will be able to completely eliminate the other party or chase them out of this place in a short period of time. If this goes on, I'm afraid that the other forces will benefit from it. Second, since they want to take advantage of us, why don't we push the boat with the current and beat them at their own game? "Cultivator Sun waved his hand and spoke with a mysterious tone.
With that said, a trace of doubt appeared on everyone's faces. They turned their attention back to Cultivator Sun and waited for his next explanation.
The Cultivator surnamed Sun chuckled and said, "Hehe, it is quite a coincidence. I just so happen to know a secret restriction technique. It is capable of placing a mark on a specific person. Once the mark is placed on a person, they can be teleported away using a special teleportation formation that I set up." The Cultivator surnamed Sun chuckled.
"Teleported away?" The others were astonished.
"That's right. Because this mark doesn't have any offensive effects, it cannot be detected. However, it takes a long time to place it, at least the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. My plan is that I will place a restriction on the competition grounds in advance. As a result, everyone should delay as much time as possible and strive to place the mark on their opponent's body during the course of the competition. As for me, I will use a doppelganger technique to stealthily sneak into the entrance of the ruins and place down a few long-distance teleportation formations in the surroundings. When the time comes, I will break the restriction and activate the teleportation formation. The demon race has a total of ten cultivators. If the seven core cultivators are suddenly teleported away, the remaining cultivators won't be a threat. By the time those seven returned from over 500,000 kilometers away, the ruins had already been swept clean by us. "The cultivator surnamed Sun swept his gaze past everyone and slowly explained," By the time they returned from over 500,000 kilometers away, the ruins had already been swept clean. "
A tall and thin man's eyes lit up and he waved his sleeve in praise, "Senior Martial Brother Sun is worthy of being the brains of the Haoran Academy. This plan is quite good!"
After a short period of thinking, everyone felt that there was no problem, so they nodded in agreement.
Although Liu Ming also felt that this plan was feasible, he faintly felt that there was something wrong in his heart. However, he couldn't accurately say what the problem was. After pondering for a moment, he also nodded.
"The competition with the Beastkin Clan is extremely dangerous, especially when there are two Jin Dan cultivators in the opponent's formation. If we die in the competition, then even if the plan is successful, we won't be able to share the treasures in this ruins?" At this moment, the Demon Mystic Sect's white robe cultivator asked again after thinking about it.
"Those who participate in the competition are indeed in danger. Although the other party has clearly stated that as long as one party voluntarily surrenders, there will be no harm to the other party's life. But since the result of the competition will directly affect the distribution of treasures, presumably both sides will fight with their lives. In this regard, I can only promise you that anyone who participates in the competition can take more treasures when sharing. As for the two Jin Dan cultivators on the other side, one of them will naturally be fought by me personally. The other one must have a tyrannical body that can achieve the effect of delaying for an incense stick of time. If any fellow is willing, you can tell me after thinking about it. As long as the other party is successfully marked, this person can get an extra share on the original basis when dividing the treasures. "The cultivator surnamed Sun's eyes flickered as he spoke, and they finally fell on Liu Ming.
Several other human race cultivators present also looked gloomy, but they didn't speak. Some of them intentionally or unintentionally looked at Liu Ming.
Although they only needed to delay time, in fact, everyone knew in their hearts that a Jin Dan cultivator who could appear in the ruins was by no means as simple as an ordinary Jin Dan cultivator. Persisting for an incense stick of time was not something an ordinary Pseudo Core cultivator could do.
When Liu Ming saw this, his expression stirred, but he didn't immediately speak.
"If you are willing to participate in the competition, you can tell me now. Or, you can return and think about it. It won't be too late to give me an answer tomorrow. Ah, that's right. I forgot to tell you that the competition between the two races will be held two days from now. Apart from this, if anyone has any other opinions, they might as well raise them here. "
After the time it took for an incense stick of time to burn, the cultivators present expressed their willingness to participate in the competition. However, none of them were willing to fight the other Demon Race cultivator, the Jin Dan cultivator.
Following that, everyone discussed the details of the competition and decided to delay it for a few more days. They also sent out a few more people to roam the nearby area in hopes of recruiting a few more experts to join the Human Race Alliance.
After more than two hours, everyone finally ended the meeting, and they stood up to bid their farewells and left.
In the blink of an eye, only the cultivator surnamed Sun and Liu Ming remained in the hall.
As for the reason why Liu Ming had been left behind, there was no need for further explanation as everyone understood.
When the cultivator surnamed Sun saw that no one else was present, he bluntly said, "Liu, I'm sure you've already guessed the reason why I asked you to stay behind."
Liu Ming calmly said, "Of course I know Brother Sun's intentions. Be at ease. Leave the other Jin Dan cultivator to me. Although my chances of victory aren't great, delaying them for a while shouldn't be a problem. "Liu Ming indifferently said.
"Good, very good! I knew that Liu would agree to this matter. Liu shined brilliantly during the Heavenly Gate Gathering and his strength is already comparable to that of the Jin Dan cultivator. I believe that a great victory is possible. "When the cultivator surnamed Sun heard this, he was overjoyed.
"The Heavenly Gate Gathering was a matter of several years ago. At that time, I was just lucky. If there is nothing else, I will be taking my leave. "Liu Ming replied with a smile.
"Good! Before the competition, you still need to recuperate and build up your strength. I won't keep you any longer. You can open up a temporary cave residence nearby. If anything happens, I can quickly inform you. "The cultivator surnamed Sun nodded and said a few more polite words.
After Liu Ming cupped his hands, he quickly left the hall.
At the same time, in the northwest corner of the Snow Mountain, the Monster Race encampment.
In a pitch-black cave, two voices were whispering to each other.
"Brother Ying, what do you think? You actually proposed to break the restriction together with the human race and determine the ownership of the treasure through a competition! "A powerful voice said.
"Fellow Xiong, don't worry. Although there are seven competitions, with our strength, how can we lose to those human cultivators? Moreover, the other party's only Jin Dan cultivator is now injured. As far as I know, the other party has no other strong reinforcements in the near future. We will have no problem winning five or six of the seven competitions. "Another voice that sounded dry said with a sneer.
"Hmph, before, we wanted to seize the ruins before Ji Ying and Hu Zang arrived, but we didn't expect to encounter these Middle Sky Continent human cultivators. Now that we are counting on the two of them to come and destroy the human race in one fell swoop, there is no news of them. "The owner of the deep voice seemed very angry.
"Ji Ying is extremely conceited. I'm afraid that he will only cause trouble here. I'm afraid that a seventh of the treasures won't be enough to send him away. It is better to give some to the human race so that we won't be in a stalemate. When the time comes, others will take advantage of us. "The dry voice snorted disdainfully.
"In that case, it seems that we can only do this. However, we still have to think about who to send."
The other voice gave its assent, and the conversation in the cave fell silent for a moment.
On the side of the human cultivator's encampment was a plain covered in ice and snow. At the end of the plain were small mountains of different heights. These mountains were over a hundred meters tall, while the short ones were only a few dozen meters tall.
Although this place was also part of the ice and snow polar region, for some reason, there was no trace of coldness under the white snow.
Under one of the inconspicuous small mountains, in a seemingly ordinary cave, Liu Ming sat cross-legged, playing with a crystal clear bead in his hand with a thoughtful expression on his face.
At this moment, an escape light galloped toward the temporary cave house that Liu Ming set up.
"Is Liu here? I'm Li Yonghong, here to visit!" With the whistling sound, a voice transmission followed.
Liu Ming relied on his powerful Spiritual Sense and found this person from a dozen miles away. It was a cultivator surnamed Li from the 8 major families who was in the hall with him before.
