That night, Chao Shi and Zhao Zhan continued to wait near the Yunfeng Pagoda.
However, they were getting impatient.
"What are Xu Shouwang and the rest doing inside? Didn't they find the secret of the pagoda? Why haven't they come out after five days? "Zhao Zhan grumbled unhappily.
After all, his mission was only to watch over Xu Shouwang and the rest.
However, the difference was that Xu Shouwang might be able to receive help from the Tower of God and rapidly increase his level of cultivation. This was something that Zhao Zhan did not want to see.
Therefore, he hoped that Xu Shouwang would come out as soon as he completed his mission. He did not want to stay inside and take advantage of the situation.
Zhao Zhan's abilities were slightly higher than Xu Shouwang's, so he still had an advantage over Xu Shouwang. However, if he were to cultivate in the pagoda for a few days, it would be hard to say who was stronger.
"They might really be cultivating in there." Chao Shi was extremely envious of the fact that they might be able to receive help from the Tower of God while cultivating in there. He wanted to go in and give it a try himself.
"But if they were cultivating in there, wouldn't there be streams of light outside the pagoda? The pagoda is pitch-black now and there are no streams of light. They can't be cultivating, right? "Although Zhao Zhan said this, he was not confident at all.
This was because he could not understand why Xu Shouwang and the rest had not come out yet if that was not the case.
"That's true. Could they have encountered some danger inside?" Chao Shi asked after some thought.
"What danger could there be in the pagoda? Haven't the Cheng family disciples been guarding there all this time? If something had really happened inside, I'm sure they would have already rushed in, "Zhao Zhan said.
After all, from the moment Xu Shouwang and the rest had successfully entered the Yunfeng Pagoda, they had been watching outside the pagoda.
After so long, they had not seen anyone else enter the pagoda.
Moreover, Xu Shouwang had gone in with more than ten people. If something big had happened, there would have been a huge commotion inside the pagoda.
"I'm worried that there might be some danger inside the pagoda. If that's the case, even if no one entered the pagoda, they might still be in danger!" Chao Shi said.
"But we can't go in now. Even if there is danger inside, there is nothing we can do!" Zhao Zhan said.
"Since the Cheng Family's guards are not back yet, why don't we go in and take a look?" Chao Shi saw that the guards of the Yunfeng Pagoda had long since left. There was no one outside the pagoda. He was tempted to go in and take a look.
"How can we do that? Our mission is to wait for Xu Shouwang and the others. Entering the pagoda is not our mission. If there is any danger in the pagoda, then wouldn't it be possible for us to go in like this? "Zhao Zhan refused.
All of their plans had been arranged in advance, and everyone had their own mission.
Therefore, if Xu Shouwang and the others were really in trouble, they would not be able to enter the tower to help. This would mess up their entire plan.
"If that's the case, should we report the current situation to Elder Tang?" Chao Shi asked.
"But we're not sure if there's really something wrong with the tower. If they're really cultivating inside, wouldn't we be lying?
Also, this is the Cheng Family's territory. Elder Tang has already said that. Unless it's absolutely necessary, don't contact each other so easily. It's easy to be exposed, "Zhao Zhan reminded.
"That's true, but if they're really in trouble inside, then it's probably a special situation where they had no choice.
As for the fact that they're cultivating inside, there isn't even a flash of light from the formation. This means that they haven't activated the formation, so how can they be cultivating? "
"That's not necessarily true. Every formation has its own unique aspect. Maybe this formation only shows a flash of light when it's activated, and then it disappears.
Or maybe the light we saw wasn't a formation with magical powers, and they're in another formation in the pagoda, so they're cultivating inside? "Zhao Zhan said after some thought.
Although there were no Cheng Family guards guarding the pagoda, they did not dare to take this opportunity to enter the pagoda.
First, it was because of the plan, and second, they did not know the situation inside. If they just went in like this, it would be too risky. Naturally, they did not dare to act rashly.
"Then should we wait a little longer?" Chao Shi asked.
In fact, the reason why he suggested entering the pagoda was that he hoped to have a chance to use the formation to improve his cultivation.
In any case, they were only waiting outside, and the Cheng Family guards would leave for a period of time every night.
So according to his thinking, even if they went in, if they didn't have a chance to cultivate, they could still come out the next day.
However, Zhao Zhan's words were not unreasonable. If there was really any danger inside, they might also die inside.
Although the temptation of that kind of power was really tempting, compared to safety, he was more concerned about his own safety.
It was better to be safe than sorry. What a coincidence. If they really encountered danger inside or even died inside, wouldn't it be suicidal for the two of them to run inside?
"Let's wait and see! If they still don't come out in a few days, we'll think of another way! "Zhao Zhan said after a moment of silence.
Although his relationship with Xu Shouwang was not good, they were all carrying out a mission now. He would not bring personal conflicts into the mission.
After all, this time their mission was very difficult. If they did not cooperate with each other, they might stay in the Cheng Family forever.
So he still knew what was important and what was not.
It was just that in terms of time, Xu Shouwang and the others did not stay in the pagoda for too long, so they could still wait. If they did not come out in a few days, then they really could not rule out the possibility that they really encountered trouble inside.
At that time, they might have to think of another way, or inform Elder Tang of the news.
"Okay! I'll listen to you. "Chao Shi nodded, he still agreed with Zhao Zhan's words.
In the next few days, the first group of the Cheng Family competition, which was also the Golden Core and Nascent Soul group competition, officially ended.
What everyone did not expect was that in this group competition, a few disciples with low cultivation actually won the top three.
The champion was the Golden Core disciple of the Netherworld Sect.
And what was even more unexpected was that the performance of the Shushan Sect's disciples in this group competition was really outstanding. The top ten actually took up four spots. Among them, two of them entered the top three, obtaining the second and third place respectively. This caused everyone to be very surprised.
"It seems that the current Mount Shu Sect is the number one sect under the Cheng Family. It's too powerful. It actually occupies four of the top ten places, and even took the second and third place. Even the Cheng Family only took two places, and their rankings are very low.
This time, Shushan Sect is really going to be in the limelight. Daoist Xuan Zhen must be very happy. "When the first group competition results came out, everyone started discussing it.
Obviously, Shushan Sect was the topic that they were talking about the most.
Although the cultivation of these disciples was not very high, all of them were only in the Golden Core and Nascent Soul Realm, especially the first two who were only Golden Core disciples.
But for a sect to have such outstanding young disciples, it showed that the future of the sect was filled with hope and light.
However, everyone did not expect that regardless of You Chang or Daoist Xuan Zhen, neither of them were happy for their sect's outstanding results.
Instead, they were so sad that they wanted to cry.
Because Cheng Yu had already clearly told them that their disciples had been chosen.
Of course, the disciples that Cheng Yu selected were not only from their two sects. According to Cheng Yu's analysis of the first group's disciples, he had selected a total of 12 people.
Therefore, there were also a few other sects' disciples who were selected.
However, compared to the selected disciples, Shushan Sect and Netherworld Sect seemed to have suffered the greatest loss. Because Netherworld Sect had selected the first place while Shushan Sect had selected the second and third place.
The three most outstanding disciples had all been selected. How could the two sect masters not cry?
"Rest assured. As long as they did not pass my test, I will naturally return these disciples back to you." Looking at their mournful appearance, Cheng Yu consoled them.
"If they are able to pass the test and become your direct disciple, it would be their fortune," Although they were very unwilling, they did not dare to express any dissatisfaction.
Regarding Cheng Yu saying that these disciples would return, they did not believe it.
Everyone could see how outstanding these disciples were. They were even more outstanding than a lot of the Cheng Family disciples. How could the Cheng Family possibly let them return?
At this moment, their hearts were bleeding. The genius disciples that they had painstakingly nurtured had become someone else's wedding dress.
Cheng Yu shook his head. How could he not know what they were thinking? He didn't care about their hypocritical words.
He had already said too much. Those who did not believe him, no matter how much he explained, they would not believe him.
Therefore, as long as he understood these matters, it would be fine. When these people did not pass the test, he would return them back to them. Even if he did not say anything, they would naturally believe him.
"From today onwards, these disciples will be staying in the Cheng Family to cultivate. Three months later, regardless of whether they passed the test or not, I will inform you all." Cheng Yu said.
"We will listen to the Family Head's arrangements." All the sect masters replied helplessly.
"Tomorrow is the second group's competition. I hope you all will be like the first group's competition. Do not disturb them and let them use their strength to compete. Understand?" Cheng Yu reminded everyone.
