Xie Fan's eyelids drooped. He sat cross-legged in the underground palace of his cavern-dwelling. He waited silently.
Ever since he applied to join the hunting team, he had been waiting for Dongbo Xue Ying to 'retire' from the team.
'Yi? He actually didn't retire? '
'Since he applied to join, he should be waiting for orders. He should be the first to know of the news of me joining. Yet he didn't retire. Unless he dares to join? 'Xie Fan revealed a weird look.
Xie Fan directly transmitted to Dongbo Xue Ying through his communication treasure: "Feixue Brat, I will be joining this hunting team too. Do you dare to join my hunting team?"
"Xie Fan, you have been paying attention to my news right? The moment I joined, you immediately joined? I, Feixue, am truly overwhelmed by your favor. "Dongbo Xue Ying immediately replied.
Xie Fan's expression sunk.
He had indeed arranged for his subordinates to pay attention to the news of this Monarch Feixue! With his strength, there were naturally some Grand Perfection God Emperor experts who took the initiative to join him. Because it wasn't easy for ordinary Grand Perfection God Emperors to hunt Chaotic Origin Lifeforms in the Sacred World for food. Hence, joining 'Xie Fan' would make their lives much better. In the entire Scarlet Cloud City, almost all the top few dozen cultivators had a group of cultivators joining them!
And the top few dozen cultivators were roughly at the standard of 'Grand Perfection God Emperor Dao Cultivators'.
And there were a total of over 3,000 cultivators in the city. There were many who were willing to join them. In reality, including 'Daoist Hidden Horizon', 'Great Emperor Heaven Calamity', 'Xie Fan', 'Mo Shu' and others, even if there were cultivators joining them, they would not easily take them in. Because the moment they did, they would have to be protected and even provided with food.
Even though it would increase the overall strength of the team, it was similarly a burden. Hence, they had to choose those who were helpful to their team.
For instance, those who specialized in domains? Those who specialized in scouting? Those who specialized in speed?
They had to choose carefully!
"Haha … you are daring. I do admire you now." Xie Fan transmitted with a sneer.
"In the future, I will make you admire me." Dongbo Xue Ying immediately cut off the transmission.
Xie Fan's expression became even gloomier.
He quickly sent a message to some of his subordinates, "All of you, join the latest hunting team."
Since those great circle stage God Emperor experts had chosen to side with 'Xie Fan', they would usually have to listen to his orders. Xie Fan had a total of 25 subordinates, and this time, he had only deployed 15 of them!
"Yes."
"Big Brother Xie Fan, there's a guy called Feixue in our team. Are we going to deal with him?"
"He's courting death."
"I'm here. I've applied."
One by one, they applied.
There were originally 36 people on the list, but it suddenly increased to 51! They had satisfied the minimum number of members set by the hunting team.
*****
"So fast."
Dongbo Xue Ying was surprised. The name list of the hunting team had increased to the fifty-first place. "According to the information Brother Lei Meng gave me, the latest batch of hunters are all related to that Xie Fan."
"Imperial Monarch Feixue, please gather at Scarlet Cloud Hall." Scarlet Cloud Hall's artifact spirit sent a message.
Once there were enough people, they could set off.
"This Xie Fan is still somewhat useful. At the very least, he managed to shorten the time I have to wait." Xue Ying laughed as he stood up and walked out of the pavilion. The gale carried the ice crystals along with it as it whistled around chaotically. However, when they were three inches away from Xue Ying's body, they turned into fine powder.
Scarlet Cloud City was merely a few tens of thousands of miles away.
With Dongbo Xue Ying's speed, even if it was just a simple walk, he would still be able to reach Scarlet Cloud Hall in an instant.
Scarlet Cloud Hall's hall.
At this moment, there were already quite a few people gathered here, and there were even more cultivators arriving.
Dongbo Xue Ying walked into the hall and immediately saw a black-haired male 'Daoist Hidden Horizon' who was being escorted by a large group of people. Daoist Hidden Horizon's temperament was gentle like water. Compared to that Xie Fan, Daoist Hidden Horizon's reputation was much better.
"Brother Feixue." Daoist Hidden Horizon immediately looked over and greeted.
"Brother Hidden Horizon." Dongbo Xue Ying walked over and greeted with a smile.
"Xie Fan and some of his subordinates have also joined the hunting team this time around. Are you sure you want to go?" Daoist Hidden Horizon asked, "This Xie Fan is someone who will definitely seek revenge for the smallest grievance. He has his eyes on you, and I believe that no matter which hunting team you join, he will definitely follow you. It is too dangerous for you to go out and roam the world with him. I advise you to rely on 'Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor' or 'His Highness Wu Xiao'. As for Weather Leaf? Xie Fan was originally Weather Leaf's right-hand man. The only ones who can definitely protect you are the other two Vice-City Lords. "
"Vice-City Lords? It isn't easy to get the Vice-City Lords to accept me, right? "Dongbo Xue Ying smiled.
"You have to have sufficiently powerful methods." Daoist Hidden Horizon said.
The three City Lords all had extremely powerful methods.
It was rare for them to leave the city, but the moment they did, the rewards they reaped would be astonishing.
Because their team was very strong! Not only were they strong, the companions they recruited were also very strong. They were either experts who were ranked in the top ten, or experts who had unparalleled methods in Scarlet Cloud City. When the entire team worked together … it was naturally terrifying. If Dongbo Xue Ying were to join such a team, Xie Fan would naturally not be able to do anything to him.
"Thank you, Brother Hidden Horizon." Dongbo Xue Ying said.
"I'm impressed. After we leave the city, stay closer to my men." Daoist Hidden Horizon directly said when he saw that, "These are my companions. You should properly get closer to them."
Thus, Dongbo Xue Ying got to know the other cultivators.
Since Daoist Hidden Horizon was ranked in the top ten in Scarlet Cloud City, he naturally had a team under him. Including Daoist Hidden Horizon, his team had a total of 22 people.
Actually …
To recruit a fixed team, one had to consider the cooperation of the experts in the team, as well as the large amount of food needed to sustain so many experts. According to the long years of experience in Scarlet Cloud City, a fixed team would usually be maintained at around 20 cultivators. Usually, there wouldn't be more than 30.
This time, the other 35 people in the team were all present.
Only then did Xie Fan and his 16 people arrive together.
"Hu." The short old man Xie Fan's eyelids drooped. His sinister eyes swept across the hall. When he saw Dongbo Xue Ying, Xie Fan's smile became even more terrifying.
"Feixue brat." Xie Fan looked at Dongbo Xue Ying.
"Alright, everyone is here." Daoist Hidden Horizon said, "And Xie Fan, our final target this time is the Mount Primal Chaos Serpent. The return journey isn't too short. We still have to work together. If any of our companions were to perish, that would be a humiliation to us. "
Xie Fan laughed, "Don't worry, I will look at the big picture."
"Remember the old rules of our Scarlet Cloud City. Killing each other is forbidden within the hunting team." Daoist Hidden Horizon reminded. The hunting team would be leaving Scarlet Cloud City. The outside of the city was filled with danger. If they were to kill each other … it would be dangerous outside.
"I understand. We will definitely not kill each other." Xie Fan replied.
"Mn." Daoist Hidden Horizon nodded slightly.
He could only do this.
According to the long years of experience of the cultivators in Scarlet Cloud City, experts would naturally have some grudges. Even though it was forbidden for them to kill each other in the same hunting team! But when facing against a large group of Chaotic Origin Lifeforms, especially when they were in some 'dangerous predicament', as long as they did not help their companions during crucial moments, their companions might die!
Xie Fan and the others did not dare to kill directly. But there were a total of 16 of them. As long as they 'watched by the side', they could easily create an extremely vile environment for Dongbo Xue Ying.
Borrowing the hands of the 'Chaotic Origin Lifeforms' to kill Dongbo Xue Ying!
Dongbo Xue Ying watched silently by the side: 'Scheming against me?'
This team.
It was split into three parties.
One party was led by Daoist Hidden Horizon and 22 experts. Daoist Hidden Horizon was relatively friendly to him and was willing to help him. The other party was led by Xie Fan and the other 15 cultivators. They might even deliberately create a 'desperate situation' for Dongbo Xue Ying during crucial moments. The final party was led by 13 other cultivators including himself. They were all idle cultivators.
Some of the idle cultivators were proud and aloof. They disdained from joining any party. And more were chosen carefully by the apex experts. They could not be chosen at all.
"This team actually has Daoist Hidden Horizon and Xie Fan. We should be more relaxed now."
"That's right. With the two of them around, the team will be much stronger."
"Xie Fan is here? Is it because of that Feixue? "
"Who cares about him. What does Feixue's life or death have to do with us?"
Some of the idle cultivators were transmitting their voices to discuss.
With the number of apex experts in Scarlet Cloud City, it was rare to have two experts ranked in the top few in the same hunting team. Under normal circumstances, there would only be one top-notch expert in a hunting team.
"Set off!" Being the founder of the team, Daoist Hidden Horizon immediately gave the order.
…
"Sou sou sou …"
Including Dongbo Xue Ying, a total of 51 figures turned into afterimages. They rapidly flew past the city walls and out of the city.
