(Eighth place. Will the seventh place be far away? According to the agreement, the Dominator of Six Paths will add one more chapter if he reaches the eighth place. Today's update will be twelve chapters. If he reaches the seventh place, he will add two more chapters to make it fourteen chapters. Now, the seventh chapter is here.)
The Flying Snow Pavilion was like a huge snowflake floating in the air, thirty feet above the ground. It looked like it would be blown away by a strong wind.
Lin Weiyin was practicing her sword in the snow mountain of the Flying Snow Pavilion.
She was obsessed with her sword. Whenever she had time, she would practice her sword. Even if she didn't have time, she would squeeze some time out.
"Young Mistress, the Governor's Mansion sent the Demon Slaying Token," Uncle Rong appeared in the snow mountain and reported after Lin Weiyin finished her practice.
"How many?" Lin Weiyin sheathed her sword.
"Five," Uncle Rong said.
"What about the other forces?"
"The Shanhe Palace has the most, seven. The Flame Sect and Sword Alliance have six each …" Uncle Rong reported the Demon Slaying Tokens that the other twelve forces had.
The lowest was four pieces, and the highest was six pieces.
The number of Demon Slaying Tokens was determined by the Governor's Mansion. It was closely related to the ranking of the previous trial.
Each Demon Slaying Token could only be owned by one person.
In other words, the Flying Snow Pavilion's five Demon Slaying Tokens could only be owned by five people. Moreover, they were limited to the first stage of the Demigod level.
The Shanhe Palace had seven Demon Slaying Tokens, which meant that seven people would participate. With more people, they would have an advantage.
As for the other dozens of forces under the thirteen forces, they had at most three Demon Slaying Tokens, and at least one Demon Slaying Token.
"Uncle Rong, how many lone wolves have obtained Demon Slaying Tokens?" Lin Weiyin asked calmly.
"According to my investigation, there are a total of twenty-two lone wolves with Demon Slaying Tokens," Uncle Rong said. "That Chen Zong doesn't seem to have one."
"Oh." Lin Weiyin seemed to be disappointed. "Uncle Rong, we'll recruit as many of these twenty-two people as we can."
"Okay." Uncle Rong nodded. Of course, he wouldn't recruit them personally. After all, he was an Imminent God elite. He had the status and dignity of an elite.
The so-called temporary recruitment didn't mean that they would become members of the Flying Snow Pavilion, but temporarily become members of the Flying Snow Pavilion in the Demon Slaying Trial.
The Flying Snow Pavilion was on the move, and so were the other forces.
To be given a Demon Slaughtering Token by the City Lord Manor was a sign of strength. Every one of them was a target that all forces wanted to recruit.
Of course, among the many forces, only the 13 major forces had the ability to do so. Even if the other forces wanted to, they were powerless.
Inside the Wind Speech Restaurant, Gold Burning Hand Li Cang was wearing a dark red robe with a burning flame pattern embroidered on it. His expression was cold and solemn as he slowly sipped his wine. However, his eyes were drifting, as if he was absent-minded, as if he was waiting for something.
He was not a nobody, but an expert on the Demigod List.
He was ranked 913th.
Not long after, a person in a white robe walked briskly into the restaurant and stopped in front of Li Cang.
"Mr. Li, I am the deacon of the Flying Snow Pavilion. I am here on behalf of the Flying Snow Pavilion to cooperate with you," the deacon said respectfully.
"Flying Snow Pavilion? What can you give me?" Li Cang put down his wine cup and asked unhurriedly.
Benefits!
As a Rogue and an experienced expert on the Demigod List, he valued benefits, especially benefits that could help him improve.
"What the Flying Snow Pavilion can give you is not important. What is important is that the Shanhe Hall can give you will definitely surpass the Flying Snow Pavilion." A deep voice, like the ringing of a large bell, entered the Windspeech Pavilion and interrupted the Flying Snow Pavilion's deacon's words.
Instantly, anger flashed across the deacon's face.
On the other hand, Li Cang's face revealed a tinge of joy.
"Thank you for your kind offer, but I choose the Shanhe Hall," Li Cang stood up and said casually to the deacon.
Looking at Li Cang's back and the Shanhe Hall's deacon's provocative and smug expression, the deacon almost ground his teeth to pieces.
Although the rest of the people in the Wind Speech Restaurant did not say anything, one could tell that they were watching a good show.
Embarrassing!
It must be very embarrassing.
If the Shanhe Hall was better than the Flying Snow Pavilion, it would be understandable for Li Cang to choose the Shanhe Hall.
However, the problem was that Li Cang had chosen the Shanhe Hall before both parties had even stated their conditions. It was as if he had been waiting for the Shanhe Hall to invite him.
Alright, this was normal. After all, the Shanhe Hall was stronger.
Since that was the case, he should have rejected the Flying Snow Pavilion right from the start. Why did he ask what the Flying Snow Pavilion could give him? He was undoubtedly toying with the Flying Snow Pavilion.
Perhaps Li Cang did not do it on purpose, but to others, the Flying Snow Pavilion had embarrassed themselves.
Taking a deep breath, the Flying Snow Pavilion's deacon did not get angry. That would not help the situation. Instead, it would be even more embarrassing.
Since the invitation had failed, they had to look for the next target.
They had to act quickly. There were only twenty-two Rogue Cultivators who had received the Demon Slayer Token, but there were as many as thirteen forces.
The Flying Snow Pavilion had been the first to fail. If they did not act quickly, the rest of the forces might be invited by other forces.
Perhaps there was only one chance left. This time, they had to show their utmost sincerity.
…
"Pavilion Master, we failed to invite the Gold Burning Hand, Li Cang. He has entered the Shanhe Hall, "the Flying Snow Pavilion's deacon reported to Lin Weiyin respectfully." However, we managed to invite the Wind Cloud Warrior, Zhao Fengyun. We used the first plan. "
Since they had invited someone to join their team, they naturally had to give him benefits. The Flying Snow Pavilion had prepared two plans, which meant that there were two levels of benefits.
Previously, when they wanted to invite Li Cang, they wanted to use the second plan. However, before they could say anything, the invitation had failed. They could only look for the next person immediately.
The Wind Cloud Warrior, Zhao Fengyun, was ranked 999th on the Demigod List. Furthermore, they had successfully invited him with the first level of benefits after many rounds of competition.
Without a doubt, the Flying Snow Pavilion had to pay more benefits.
However, if they could not get more external help, it would be even more difficult for the Flying Snow Pavilion to compete with other forces in the Demon Slayer Trial with just the five of them. If their final ranking was not high, it would affect the redistribution of rewards and resources. It would also affect the number of Demon Slayer Tokens they would receive next time.
"Only one?" Lin Weiyin frowned slightly.
Only one was not enough.
"What about the others?" Lin Weiyin asked again.
"The Shanhe Hall has invited a total of four people. The Flame Sect and the Sword Alliance have invited three people each. The Star Blue Association and the Hundred Refinement Sect have invited two people each. The rest have invited one person each." The deacon reported everything in detail, including the names of the four people who had been recruited by the Shanhe Hall. Everything was reported in detail.
Lin Weiyin frowned.
Out of the thirteen forces, five of them had invited at least two people. The remaining eight had only invited one person each. The Flying Snow Pavilion was one of them.
It seemed that this was not a big deal. However, Lin Weiyin was not satisfied.
As the Pavilion Master of the Flying Snow Pavilion, even if she was a woman, she had the ambition to develop the Flying Snow Pavilion further. However, Lin Weiyin knew very well that it would be difficult for her to develop the Flying Snow Pavilion further by herself. She needed sufficient external support.
However, external support was not so easy to find.
The Demon Slayer Trial might be a chance for the Flying Snow Pavilion to rise and surpass the previous Pavilion Master's limit.
However, it seemed that it would be very difficult now.
"Inform Lin Zhenglong, Lin Zhengming, Lin Xiaofu, and Lin Xiong to come to the meeting hall." Lin Weiyin's frown relaxed. Since it had come to this, there was no point in thinking too much. She could only find a solution.
It was a pity that Chen Zong did not get the Demon Slayer Order. Otherwise, she might be able to invite him as her external support.
Perhaps it was because Chen Zong had only been in the Second City of World Suppression for a short period of time. The Demon Slayer Order was issued by the City Lord's Office. She could not ask for it.
With complicated emotions, Lin Weiyin also went to the meeting hall to prepare for a discussion.
How could they achieve a better result in the Demon Slayer Trial that was about to begin? How could the Flying Snow Pavilion achieve a higher ranking?
…
In an independent courtyard behind the Windspeech Tower, Chen Zong sheathed his sword and stood. The deep sword wound on the dummy that he used to test the power of his sword moves was slowly healing.
After sheathing his sword, Chen Zong nodded to himself. His consciousness sank into the Nine Heavens Ring to see if there were any missions suitable for him.
Ever since he got the Nine Heavens Ring, Chen Zong would check it frequently to see if there were any missions suitable for him. If there were, he would accept and complete them to obtain rewards and Nine Heavens Points.
However, it was a pity that since he got the Nine Heavens Ring, although he had seen some missions, none of them were suitable for him.
After all, his Nine Heavens Imperial Court disciple level was Crimson Cloud Kingdom. It was the lowest level and was very limited. He could only check and accept missions of Crimson Cloud Kingdom level.
Now, it was just a routine check.
Just as Chen Zong opened the Ninth Heavenly Ring to look at the mission, the Demon Slaughter Token within the Ninth Heavenly Ring trembled, as if it was emitting a ripple. Then, a new mission appeared.
"Demon Slayer Trial: The demons in the Demon Abyss are restless again. They are attempting to break the seal of the Demon Abyss and invade the Void again. The clean-up operation must be carried out. Time: Three days later. Location: City Lord's Office. Mission Reward: 10 to 1,900 Heavens Points. "
Chen Zong was instantly stunned. This was a mission that purely rewarded Nine Heavens Points. The minimum reward was 10 points, and the maximum reward was 1,000 points. It was very shocking.
One had to know that among the Crimson Cloud Kingdom missions that Chen Zong had seen before, the highest reward was only 10 Nine Heavens Points.
Then, whether it was 10 points or 1,000 points, this might be related to the demons killed.
Without hesitation, Chen Zong accepted this mission.
Once he accepted the mission, Chen Zong took out the Demon Slayer Order and looked at it carefully. However, he still could not see anything. However, Chen Zong was sure that this Demon Slayer Order was directly related to the Demon Slayer Trial.
Demon Slayer Order!
Demon Slayer Trial!
Perhaps, this was something like a key or a pass.
Only with the Demon Slayer Order could one participate in the Demon Slayer Trial.
In just an instant, Chen Zong made a very accurate deduction.
Putting away the Demon Slayer Order, Chen Zong removed all distracting thoughts and continued to cultivate.
Three days was not a long time. In fact, it was very short. However, he could not stop cultivating.
Use these three days to further improve his strength. Chen Zong felt that the Demon Slayer Trial was very unusual. If one was not strong enough, it would be very difficult to obtain enough benefits. The most direct way was that one would not be able to obtain more Nine Heavens Points.
Then, let's strengthen.
