The duel between Hua Haotian and Linlong did not end. Due to the sneak attack of the evil spirit, everyone was in a state of panic. Under such circumstances, Hua Haotian could only put his personal grudges aside.
As for the others, they did not want to pursue the matter with Linlong.
In the following period of time, the evil spirit launched another sneak attack. Another three people were killed by the evil spirit. This time, the people were even more on edge.
After all, the evil spirits that they had faced in the past did not have any intelligence. They were not like the evil spirit that they were facing now. It was impossible to guard against it.
It was not only their group. In the next few days, other groups were also attacked by the evil spirit.
Due to the strength of the evil spirit, they could not do anything to it.
In order to avoid being attacked by the evil spirit one by one, the people in the cave subconsciously gathered together. Even the people of Qingfeng joined the group.
There were about three hundred disciples in the entire Purple Sun Sect who entered the fourth floor of the Demon-Sealing Pagoda. Now, there were only about two hundred left. More than a hundred people had died in this cave.
After counting the number of people, they confirmed that there were roughly that many people who had died. Everyone couldn't help feeling a bit sad. After all, these were all their fellow disciples. They had originally been alive, but who would have thought that in just a few days, so many of them would leave them forever?
Although the path of martial arts was filled with obstacles, it had never been as cruel as this.
More than two hundred people gathered in an extremely large cave. The two entrances to the cave were guarded by several people whose strength surpassed the Middle Martial Master Realm. This was to prevent the evil spirit from entering.
After that, the representatives of the various branches gathered together to discuss countermeasures.
As for Linlong, he was chosen by Qingfeng to represent Qingfeng. Originally, Linlong wanted to continue hunting the evil spirit in the cave alone. However, after thinking about it, he still joined Qingfeng's group.
After all, that evil spirit's strength was not weak. If he were to wander outside alone, he would definitely become the evil spirit's primary target. Although with his current strength, he would definitely not fall into a disadvantageous position when fighting with this evil spirit, but it was better to be safe than sorry. Moreover, he did not know if there was an even stronger force behind this evil spirit.
Therefore, after serious consideration, he made this choice.
The representatives of the five branches were Lin Long, Hua Haotian, Nangong Yi, Peng Fei, and Qi Zhengde. Peng Fei and Qi Zhengde were the representatives of Yong Chang Peak and De Wu Peak respectively. These two were also in the top ten of the Heaven List.
The five of them gathered at the highest point of the cave wall.
Even though Hua Haotian disliked Lin Long, he still suppressed his anger towards Lin Long for the sake of killing that evil spirit. Of course, his gaze towards Lin Long was not friendly.
As for Nangong Yi, it was obvious that he had been angered by Lin Long previously. Hence, other than glancing at Lin Long when he arrived, his gaze did not linger on Lin Long at all. It was as if Lin Long did not exist.
Linlong did not take this matter to heart.
As for the other two, they naturally didn't look at Lin Long well because they had some conflicts with him in the past.
Of course, Lin Long naturally did not take these two seriously.
After glancing at them, Hua Haotian said, "Everyone, that evil spirit in the mask is a great threat to us. If we don't get rid of it as soon as possible, we won't be able to kill all the evil spirits on the fourth level. What do you guys think? "
"It would be best if we could find the evil spirit's lair and kill it," said Qi Zhengde, who had a medium build and was slightly plump.
"Yes, I agree with Junior Brother Zhengde," said Peng Fei. He was short and had a mustache. He looked very shrewd.
"What about you, Junior Sister Yi?" Hua Haotian's gaze stopped on Nangong Yi.
At this moment, his tone was undoubtedly a lot gentler. He originally wanted to use this opportunity to resolve the conflict between him and Nangong Yi, but he did not expect Nangong Yi to not even look at him.
Nangong Yi's attitude undoubtedly made him feel very frustrated. The only thing that made him feel at ease was that Nangong Yi, who he thought underestimated the enemy, did not even pay attention to him.
"I think so too," said Nangong Yi. Her expression seemed even colder than before.
Logically speaking, Hua Haotian should have asked Linlong at this moment, but he did not plan to ask Linlong at all. Instead, he directly ignored Linlong.
"If that's the case, do you guys have any good 'hunters'? Only a good 'hunter' can we find that evil spirit," said Hua Haotian.
"There's one in Yong Chang Peak, Luo Hu. Senior Brother Haotian, you should remember him, right?" Peng Fei smiled.
"There's one in De Wu Peak too, but he's still far from Luo Hu, so let's take Luo Hu," said Qi Zhengde.
"To be honest, there was originally a best candidate in Ziyang Peak, but unfortunately, he died not long after entering the fourth level," Hua Haotian sighed.
After speaking, he looked at Nangong Yi. "What about you, Junior Sister Yi? Do you have any good candidates?"
Nangong Yi did not speak, but shook her head indifferently. However, the instant she shook her head, she suddenly glanced at Linlong.
Her glance immediately made Hua Haotian frown, then he said, "Then it's decided, the hunter will be Yong Chang Peak's Luo Hu."
Although it was rumored that Linlong was an extremely capable hunter, and it was because of this that he led the Green Peak to earn so many contribution points, Hua Haotian did not believe it at all because he had not seen Linlong's performance. In addition, he deliberately isolated Linlong, so he naturally did not even ask Linlong.
Linlong naturally did not care who they chose. After all, when the time came, the path would be under his feet, and he would not be dictated by these people.
Hua Haotian then said, "Since the hunter has been chosen, then it's time to choose the people who will follow. It's not good to have too many people, so it's limited to 12 people. Do you guys have any objections?"
"No." Qi Zhengde and Peng Fei immediately shook their heads, while Nangong Yi nodded slightly.
Hua Haotian then continued, "This is what I think. There are still eight people in the top 15, so these eight people will take up eight of the 12 spots. The remaining people will be chosen from each faction. Of course, their abilities must be in the top 50 of the Heaven Leaderboard."
"I recommend our Dewu Peak's Guo Lin."
"I recommend our Yong Chang Peak's Wang Han."
Qi Zhengde and Peng Fei immediately gave their candidates.
"Yes, these two people are suitable." Hua Haotian nodded, then looked at Nangong Yi and said, "Junior Sister Yi, do you have any suitable candidates?"
Nangong Yi still shook her head.
"Alright, then I recommend Ziyang Peak's Wen Fu," Hua Haotian said.
"Then there's only one person left," Peng Fei said.
"The last person?" Hua Haotian and the other two immediately thought hard.
During this process, the three of them simply treated Linlong as air, and had no intention of discussing with him.
Linlong naturally knew what Hua Haotian was thinking, but he could not be bothered with them.
After a while, Hua Haotian said again, "How about this, I recommend someone …"
At this point, he deliberately kept them in suspense.
"Oh, who?" Peng Fei and Qi Zhengde immediately asked.
"Our Ziyang Peak's Yang Kaiyu," Hua Haotian said.
"Yes, Yang Kaiyu is not bad. Although he's slightly weaker, he's very clever, so he'll be very useful." Peng Fei immediately nodded in agreement.
Qi Zhengde, who was standing on the side, nodded.
"Then, we'll have 12 people." Hua Haotian deliberately glanced at Linlong as he said this. The smug look in his eyes could not be concealed at all.
'Lin Long, aren't you very powerful? You've even made it onto the list of twelve. Let's see how you'll have the face to face the junior brothers and sisters of the Azure Peak.' Hua Haotian thought to himself as he looked at Lin Long.
Although he really wanted to teach Linlong a lesson in front of everyone, it was more important to deal with the evil spirit, so he could only temporarily embarrass Linlong.
Naturally, he knew that Linlong's abilities could make it to the list of 12. However, it did not matter to him whether Linlong was there or not. After all, he had such a powerful weapon in his hands. As long as he found the evil spirit, he would definitely be able to kill it.
Qi Zhengde and Peng Fei were naturally aware of Linlong's abilities, but they naturally followed Hua Haotian's lead at a time like this. Moreover, they were hostile towards Linlong.
After being smug for a while, Hua Haotian continued, "Alright, everyone, go back and gather everyone here. Then, we'll decide when to set off."
"I object!"
However, at this moment, such a voice was heard from among the five of them.
The voice was pleasing to the ear because it belonged to Nangong Yi.
"Junior Sister Yi, do you have any suggestions?" Hua Haotian's face darkened when he heard that Nangong Yi actually rejected his decision in front of the five of them.
"Out of the twelve, one of them must be eliminated." Nangong Yi's face was still cold as she said.
"Who do you have in mind?" Hua Haotian frowned.
"My choice is Linlong!" Nangong Yi said in a clear voice.
However, she still did not look at Linlong as she spoke.
"Junior Sister Yi, why did you choose Linlong?" Hua Haotian asked with a cold expression.
He could tolerate it if Nangong Yi had chosen someone else, but she chose Linlong. Was he not furious?
"There's no reason. It's because he once defeated Yu Yuanwu," Nangong Yi said.
"Yu Yuanwu? Although he once entered the top 15 of the Heaven Leaderboard, his abilities have been deteriorating. It's not a big deal for Linlong to defeat him, "Peng Fei said directly.
"Is that so? Then he once defeated …" Nangong Yi frowned. However, her words came to an abrupt halt, because she suddenly remembered that if she said that he once defeated her, then wouldn't that be admitting that she was forcefully kissed by him?
