There were a total of four people in the three groups, but they did not live together. The four of them were even arranged to live on different peaks for safety reasons.
However, this was only what they thought was safe. From the moment they arrived at the Cheng family's residence, there was no longer any sense of safety for them.
Therefore, even if they were to meet up in four different locations, they would still be under the Cheng family's surveillance.
However, these fellows should never have set their eyes on the Cheng Family's disciple.
They thought that because of the competition during the day, there would be a lot of people and that it would be very easy for them to capture a Cheng family disciple as soon as possible, far away from the competition.
In reality, with the four of them's abilities, successfully capturing a Cheng family disciple was not a difficult task.
The four of them used the excuse of asking for directions to quickly capture a Cheng family disciple with a lower level of cultivation. After all, it was easier to capture a disciple with a lower level of cultivation.
If they chose a disciple with a higher level of cultivation, they might expose themselves if they were unable to capture him quickly.
Although the capture of the Cheng family disciple went smoothly, their plan did not go as smoothly. They thought that all the Cheng family disciples had cultivated in the Yunfeng Pagoda.
In reality, there were so many disciples in the Cheng family, and not all of them had the opportunity to cultivate in the Yunfeng Pagoda.
The person they captured had never entered the Yunfeng Pagoda.
"You said that you have never cultivated in the Yunfeng Pagoda? Don't all of you cultivate in the Yunfeng Pagoda? Don't all of you cultivate in the Yunfeng Pagoda? The four of them were dumbfounded when they heard the Cheng family disciple say that he had never cultivated in the Yunfeng Pagoda.
"Who said that all Cheng family disciples can cultivate in the Yunfeng Pagoda? Only a small number of Cheng family disciples can enter the Yunfeng Pagoda to cultivate. They either have to make a great contribution to the Cheng family, or they have to exchange their contribution points for a chance to cultivate in the Yunfeng Pagoda.
But these two conditions, no matter which one it was, were not easy to obtain. Those who can meet these conditions are basically the most talented and outstanding disciples of the Cheng family.
For ordinary disciples like us, even if we want to exchange our contribution points for a chance to cultivate in the Yunfeng Pagoda, we don't know how many years it would take! "the Cheng family disciple said.
The four of them saw the envy in the disciple's eyes when he talked about cultivating in the Yunfeng Pagoda. Basically, they believed that he was telling the truth.
"Although you've never entered the Yunfeng Pagoda to cultivate, you must have heard from the disciples who have gone in to cultivate, right?" Zhang Peng continued to ask, unwilling to give up.
"In the Cheng family, everything about the Yunfeng Pagoda is a secret. Anyone who had gone inside to cultivate would never tell anyone about the situation inside.
Therefore, for people like us who have never entered it to cultivate, how could we possibly know what it is like inside? "The disciple smiled bitterly.
"Don't lie to me, although this is Cheng family, if you dare lie to us, we won't let you off!" Ji Wuping threatened.
However, they didn't plan to kill anyone here because it would be too easy to expose themselves.
"Even if you kill me now, I will still say the same thing because I really don't know what it's like inside the Yunfeng Pagoda!" The disciple was fearless, as if he was not afraid that they would kill him.
"Is it true that cultivating in the Yunfeng Pagoda can quickly increase one's level?" Zhou Tiancheng asked.
"Well …" The disciple hesitated.
Because he really didn't know what they had asked before, there was no need for him to lie.
However, he really did know the answer to this question, which put him in a difficult position.
As a disciple of the Cheng family, of course, he knew that this was a secret of the Cheng family that could not be revealed to outsiders.
"Judging by your reaction, it seems that this matter must be true!" However, the contrast between his reaction and before was obvious. Such hesitation naturally allowed others to see the problem.
If the Yunfeng Pagoda didn't have any cultivation effects, he would have answered as readily as before. However, he was hesitating on this question. This was the best answer he could give.
Furthermore, if the Yunfeng Pagoda didn't have such magical effects, why would the Cheng family have such high requirements?
"I didn't say that!" the disciple insisted.
However, he was curious. How did these guys know that the Yunfeng Pagoda could increase one's level?
The secret of the Yunfeng Pagoda couldn't be revealed to outsiders, and these people were obviously outsiders. Could it be that one of the Cheng family disciples had leaked the secret?
"I'm afraid I'll have to tell the master about this!" At that moment, all he wanted to do was report this to the master as soon as possible.
Someone in the Cheng family might have leaked the family's secret to outsiders.
"It doesn't matter whether you tell us or not. Your attitude has already told us the answer. However, if you know any more secrets about the Yunfeng Pagoda, you'd better take this opportunity to tell us the truth.
You don't seem to have much value anymore. If you don't tell us something useful, we'll have to kill you! "Zhou Tiancheng continued to threaten him.
"I have nothing to say! This is the Cheng family. If you kill me, you won't be able to leave the Cheng family alive!
If you let me go now, I can keep this secret for you!
If you plan to enter the Yunfeng Pagoda to cultivate, I advise you to give up on that idea. " This disciple was smart. Not only was he not intimidated by Zhou Tiancheng's threat, he even took the initiative.
"Why? It seems that you do know something about the Yunfeng Pagoda! I advise you to tell us the truth so that you don't get yourself into trouble! "Zhang Peng said.
"It's not a secret that I know because all the Cheng family disciples know about it. I just want to tell you that even us Cheng family disciples don't have the right to enter the pagoda to cultivate. How can you enter? "The Cheng family disciple said without fear.
"Why can't we enter? Don't you know that the guards at the Yunfeng Pagoda will leave for a period of time at the hour of the ox? "
"There's such a thing?" The Cheng family disciple was stunned. Obviously, even he didn't know about this.
"You don't know?" The four people were also stunned. Wasn't this something that every Cheng family disciple knew?
"I really don't know! Furthermore, who would come here at the hour of the ox? "The Cheng family disciple said honestly.
Actually, how could he possibly know about this?
This was because Cheng Yu had purposely lured these people into his trap. That was why he had asked Han Yaowu to withdraw all the guards at the hour of the ox.
If one didn't come out at night, or even at the hour of the ox, they wouldn't even know about this.
Therefore, even if these people told him about this, he still wouldn't know if it had always been like this or if it had suddenly become like this.
The four people looked at each other. When they saw the dumbfounded expression on the Cheng family disciple's face, it was obvious that he wasn't lying.
However, this had put the four of them in a difficult position.
Originally, they thought that any Cheng family disciple would be able to lead them to the Yunfeng Pagoda. However, they now knew that not every Cheng family disciple had the right to enter the Yunfeng Pagoda to cultivate.
This Cheng family disciple in front of them no longer had any value.
Even if they brought him into the Yunfeng Pagoda, it would be meaningless.
However, they also didn't want to kill him. After all, if they killed him, it would cause a huge commotion. This would undoubtedly make the Cheng family's security even tighter. When the Cheng family started to investigate, it would be very difficult for them to escape.
They couldn't keep him alive or kill him. What could they do?
"I know you're thinking about killing me right now, but I have to remind you that any Cheng family disciple who isn't on a mission outside must report to the Hall of Master every day. If a disciple doesn't show up for three days in a row, it means that something has happened to that person.
This is the day of the Cheng family's competition. Therefore, the Hall of Master always emphasizes the importance of reporting to the Hall of Master.
If you really kill me, you should know what the consequences are. You will never be able to escape from the Cheng family, "the Cheng family disciple said.
The four people were stunned once again. They didn't expect the Cheng family to have such a trick up their sleeves.
Indeed, if they did this, they would be able to find out within three days at the very most if something happened to their disciple.
It had to be said that the Cheng family's method was very smart.
However, the four of them felt that they had done something very stupid.
Capturing a Cheng family disciple was like a hot potato. How could they let him go?
There was no way they would believe the Cheng family disciple. If they really let him go, he would probably go back to the Cheng family to report the matter.
However, if they didn't let him go, the Cheng family would search for the culprit in three days at most.
Although the Cheng family might not be able to trace it back to them, a Cheng family disciple had gone missing in the family. The Cheng family would not let him go so easily.
Furthermore, anyone who wasn't part of the Cheng family who came to watch the competition would be the focus of the investigation.
Under these circumstances, how could they enter the Yunfeng Pagoda to carry out the mission?
"What should we do now? We can't let this kid go, but if we don't, we can't keep him around! "Ji Wuping said helplessly.
"Why don't we just kill him? Three days isn't a short time. Maybe three days will be enough for us to complete the mission and escape from the Cheng family!" Zhou Tiancheng said.
"How is that possible? Xu Shouwang and Zhao Zhan have spent so much time and they all failed. We still don't know what's going on in the Yunfeng Pagoda. How can we complete the mission and leave the Cheng family in three days? "Zhang Peng retorted.
