The few of them avoided the matter of Xiahou Longcheng exposing Murong Xinghua and Yang Tai's scandals, as if they had never heard of it.
The next day, Miao Yi, who was sitting cross-legged in the corner of the wall, noticed that something was amiss. He realized that the others had left one by one, and he was the only one left. He didn't know where he went, but he probably couldn't get out of this garden, so he got up and went to look for him.
Beside a fake mountain near a pond, Zheng Rulong, Murong Xinghua, Yang Tai, and Xu Tangran gathered together and conversed via voice transmission.
After listening to their conversation, Murong Xinghua was a little hesitant, and said, "One more person means one more force. Is it appropriate to kill him?"
Zheng Rulong immediately said, "Little Sister Murong, think carefully. He only has a cultivation at the First Grade of Golden Lotus. He will only be a burden if you bring him along. Even though he has the treasures your Grand Commander gave him, the others won't be much worse off. With his cultivation, he will most likely die in the hands of others sooner or later. Instead of letting the treasures fall into the hands of others, why not give it to me? Think about it, with my cultivation, if I have that set of treasures, it will be like adding wings to a tiger. The chances of our group surviving will increase greatly. If I don't have that set of treasures, and the others have good equipment, I won't be able to hold them off no matter how high my cultivation is. If I die, there will be no one with a higher cultivation in the group who can carry the burden. Do you think your chances of surviving to the end are high? "
Murong Xinghua wasn't an idiot. She immediately understood that there was no need to kill Niu Youde. It wasn't a bad thing to have another helper. The key was that if they didn't kill him, Niu Youde would definitely not hand over his life-saving treasure. In the end, Zheng Rulong still had his eyes on the set of treasures Kou Wenlan gave Niu Youde. However, she also admitted that Zheng Rulong's words made sense. In Niu Youde's hands, that set of treasures wouldn't be as useful as in Zheng Rulong's hands. Niu Youde's cultivation was simply too low.
Just as she thought, Zheng Rulong indeed had his eyes on Miao Yi's equipment. That day at the Yi Zi Domain Presidential Manor, when he almost fell out with Miao Yi, if he hadn't heard from Yang Tai that Miao Yi had good equipment, he would have already taught Miao Yi a lesson. After that, he dragged Yang Tai and Xu Tangran out to find out what it was, and was even more tempted.
He had no choice but to be tempted. Even if it was to save his life, he had to get his hands on it. At that time, he had already figured out the situation of this exam. Most of the people here had backgrounds that were supported by large families. If he did not have good equipment, once he faced an opponent with good equipment, he would definitely lose. One could well imagine the outcome.
Actually, he had already convinced Yang Tai and Xu Tangran back then. That was why he raised his cup and apologized to Miao Yi as soon as he returned. He wanted to calm Miao Yi down. There was no solution to it, it was impossible for them to snatch it in the B Region. It was impossible for them to make a move before they officially entered the examination and under their supervision. They could only pacify Miao Yi and make him lower his guard so that they could make their move in the future.
At this moment, there was no way to convince Murong Xinghua. Without Murong Xinghua's agreement, there was no way to make a move. Cao Wanxiang had already made it clear that if Murong Xinghua couldn't return alive, they would only die if they returned. There was no way to avoid Murong Xinghua.
Murong Xinghua pondered for a moment before looking at Yang Tai and Xu Tangran. She asked, "Are the two of you sure you want to do this?"
Yang Tai looked like he had no choice and sighed, "Naturally, we don't want to do this, but Brother Zheng's words are reasonable. In a situation where the other competitors also have good equipment, Niu Youde's cultivation is really too low. That set of equipment is indeed useless in his hands. General Cao has already said that we are also doing this to have the highest chance of escorting you back! "
Xu Tangran nodded his head in agreement.
In reality, he was the one who felt the most guilty because he had seen Miao Yi's capabilities. But the situation was like this. If he said that Miao Yi was stronger than him, then there was a high chance that these people would let Miao Yi go and target him instead. They would definitely change their target and put the equipment on him. At that time, the one they wanted to kill wouldn't be Miao Yi, but him. Hence, he could only let his own friend die so that he wouldn't die.
Murong Xinghua actually felt that there was no need to do this, but there was a thorn in her heart. She pretended to be aloof and looked down on Miao Yi for courting a married woman. Now that her own scandal was even more unbearable, she felt uncomfortable every time she saw Miao Yi. Even if Miao Yi just casually glanced at her, she would feel that he was mocking her.
Hence, she didn't want Miao Yi to live. She wanted nothing more than to kill him as soon as possible!
But on second thought, she still had to yield to reality. If it weren't for that, why would she be enjoying Cao Wanxiang's company? She wasn't like Xu Tangran, who didn't offend Xiahou Long Cheng and insisted on hugging Kou Wenlan's thigh. It didn't matter if she could complete Kou Wenlan's orders or not. Her main goal was to return alive. If she lost her life, what else could she talk about?
Now that the thousand commanders were all in their own camps, including those unlucky fellows like Zheng Rulong. They would automatically go to their own camps, and there was no way to win them over. One more person was indeed one more helper. Besides, Miao Yi's chances of returning alive weren't high to begin with. There was no need to fight among themselves. Even if Miao Yi could return alive, Miao Yi would be under Cao Wanxiang's command. If she could whisper pillow talk into Cao Wanxiang's ear, wouldn't Miao Yi die? There would be plenty of opportunities!
After pondering for a while, Murong Xinghua said, "Actually, there's no need to rush. Think about it. It's impossible for the thousand commanders to kill each other right from the start. They have to fight until the final juncture. Otherwise, no one would be willing to damage their own strength. So why not wait and see what happens first? If we can get good equipment from others for Brother Zheng, then Niu Youde's survival will be beneficial to us as well. After all, we'll have another helper. What do you all think?"
Yang Tai was silent for a while, then nodded slightly, "That makes sense."
Xu Tangran also nodded in agreement. He didn't make his stance clear. He was just following the wind. Whichever side the wind was in, he would lean towards it. His priority was to protect himself. Among them, besides Miao Yi, his cultivation was the lowest. He didn't have the right to speak.
Zheng Rulong furrowed his brows. After entering the examination grounds, who knew what the situation would be like. For the sake of his own life, he naturally had to get a good set of equipment first to protect himself. But now, he didn't have the final say here just because his cultivation was high. It was Murong Xinghua who had the final say. What's more, the other two had also agreed.
'A f * cking b * tch? Why are you pretending to be a good person? You're ruining my plans! ' Zheng Rulong cursed in his heart, but on the surface, he still smiled and nodded. "Alright, then we'll listen to Commander Murong."
But in reality, he had another plan in mind. As long as the opportunity was right, he didn't mind killing Miao Yi alone. Once he killed Miao Yi and obtained the item, it would be too late. He believed that the others wouldn't say anything about it. After all, they still needed to rely on his strength.
At this moment, someone suddenly exclaimed, "What are you guys doing hiding here?"
They turned around and saw that Miao Yi had already found the place. He was standing on the opposite side of the pond, looking at them with a strange expression.
When Miao Yi leaped over, Huangfu Jun? Y calmly said, "Nothing much. I just wanted to see if I could find some allies. After all, one more person means one more force."
Miao Yi's gaze quickly swept across their reactions. He chuckled and said, "Why didn't you call me along to search together?"
Zheng Rulong said, "There are more and more people now. If everyone leaves, I'm afraid that the place we're staying at will be occupied by others. We have to leave someone to guard it, right?"
"So that's how it is!" Miao Yi nodded, then smiled and asked, "I'm afraid it won't be that easy to find him. If we could really jump ship so easily, I'm afraid Brother Zheng would have already left us."
Yang Tai sighed, "That's right! You're right. We really can't find him. Forget it. Let's go back. Otherwise, our place will really be occupied by others. "
They then turned around and went back. Miao Yi, who was slowly walking at the back, turned around and observed the terrain of the place they were standing at just now. There was a fake mountain next to the pond. It was clearly a place to avoid people talking. Of course, finding a place to talk wasn't a big deal. However, Miao Yi's heart was gradually filled with suspicion. A cold glint flashed across his eyes!
Even though he didn't know what the four of them were secretly discussing while avoiding him, he could already sense that something was wrong. The first time was at the Commander's Manor in the Second Domain. Zheng Rulong, Yang Tai, and Xu Tangran had already avoided him once. This time, it was the same. Why did they have to avoid him?
No matter what it was, Miao Yi was sure that it was something they didn't want him to know!
As someone who hovered on the edge of life and death, Miao Yi's mind immediately tensed up when he encountered something like this!
A few days later, it was time for the official assessment. Almost all of the Commanders on the name list had arrived. The reason why it was' almost 'was because someone had met with an accident on the way. The consequences of not arriving on time were severe. This wasn't something those who had already arrived should be worried about.
The formation gate surrounding the garden opened, and all of the Commanders came out in a single file. There were people at the gate holding jade discs, and everyone who came out would leave their transcendence seal on the jade discs. This was to confirm the number of people and prevent anyone from playing any tricks.
The group of Commanders who usually enjoyed a luxurious life now felt like they were prisoners. They came out of the garden and gathered under the watch of a group of people.
When a man with a pale complexion, dressed in a black robe and a tall black hat appeared with a cold expression on his face, everyone around him fell silent. Even Xiahou Longcheng and Kou Wenqing stood there obediently, not daring to move.
After the verification of the people, the Deacon in charge of the execution reported to the cold man, "Lord Supervisor, other than the six people who met with an accident on the way, the others are all here. The six people are rushing over at top speed and reported that they will arrive in half a day."
The cold man's voice was hoarse and frightening as he said, "Since you knew that there might be an accident, why didn't you set off earlier and give yourself some leeway? You're treating fate like child's play! There's no need to wait any longer. Those six people, as well as the escorts, as well as their superiors, the Grand Commander, and the Lieutenant, no matter who they are or what their background is, bring their heads to me when we get back! "He swept his cold gaze across everyone and said," Let's go! "
