"Chief Lan Jiao, you must be here to participate in the assessment. After the assessment ends, my dao companion and I would like to follow you to the Great Desolation God Corner, "Night Dew hurriedly said. She tried her best to sound cautious.
This request shocked Lan Xiaobu. Lan Xiaobu thought that this woman must have come to find him because of the Nine Leaves Crossing Nine Flowers. He never expected that it was completely unrelated to what he had imagined.
"Don't you know that you can't enter the Great Desolation God Corner now? The Great Desolation God Corner is extremely poisonous. All cultivators who enter the Great Desolation God Corner will definitely die, "Lan Xiaobu said.
Night Dew nodded, "I know, but I believe you."
Lan Xiaobu looked at Night Dew speechlessly. This time, he didn't even want to say anything. He didn't even know her, so why should she believe him? Even if she did, he wouldn't believe this nonsense.
"Everyone thought that you would accept the 50,000 high grade god crystals and the Nine Leaves Crossing Nine Flowers. However, you chose the clearest way to distinguish between gratitude and hatred. I believe that you are a different cultivator. My dao companion and I have nowhere to run. We have been hiding in the Yu Heng God Dao City for a long time. If we continue, we won't have any more god crystals. However, the moment we leave the Yu Heng God Dao City, it will be a dead end. " As Night Dew spoke, her eyes revealed a look of desire. Clearly, she hoped that Lan Xiaobu would take her and her dao companion in.
Lan Xiaobu smiled. He was indeed a different cultivator. However, this didn't mean that he would take in someone he didn't know. Moreover, the other party was being chased by an enemy. He was just a puny Nascent God Stage cultivator. He could be in danger at any time. Why should he take a knife for someone else?
Just as Lan Xiaobu was about to refuse, a voice suddenly rang out. "All cultivators who have signed up for the Guiheng Divine Court's assessment, please gather at the central plaza of the Yuheng Divine Dao City within two hours. The assessment will begin in two hours."
Lan Xiaobu was shocked. Didn't they say that there were still a few days? Why did it start so suddenly? He had never seen such an assessment. How could the assessment time change just like that? This was too childish.
"Captain Lan, I know that there are people who covet the Great Desolation Divine Horn. The people who covet the Great Desolation Divine Horn are the people who chased after me and my dao partner." Night Dew's words interrupted Lan Xiaobu's doubts.
"How do you know?" Lan Xiaobu asked in surprise.
"My wife and I have been on the run for many years. The reason we were able to stay in Yu Heng Divine Dao City was because Emperor Yi was an upright person. Even if the other party wanted to take revenge on us, they wouldn't have the opportunity to do so. They wouldn't dare to make a move in Yu Heng Divine Dao City. However, I wasn't the type to sit and wait for death. I also secretly inquired about the people who were chasing us. By chance, I found them and heard them talking about the Great Desolation Divine Horn … "
"What do you mean?" Lan Xiaobu immediately became concerned. The Great Desolation Divine Corner was his territory. The reason he came here for the assessment was to make the Great Desolation Divine Corner his territory.
Ye Lu said, "They said that a group of people came to the Great Desolation Divine Corner recently. Moreover, there were people entering and leaving the Great Desolation Divine Corner. After that group of people left, they went to the Great Desolation Divine Corner to investigate. They said that the Great Desolation Divine Corner's poison seems to be weakening and might disappear completely one day. Therefore, they intend to obtain a ranking in this assessment and take the Great Desolation Divine Corner for themselves. "
Lan Xiaobu finally understood why Ye Lu had guessed that he was here for the assessment. It seemed like Ye Lu had also guessed that he wanted to stay in the Great Desolation Divine Corner forever and make it his territory. However, how could others know that the Great Desolation Divine Corner's poison was weakening? The Great Desolation Divine Corner's defensive array flag was in his hands. Without his array flag, no one would be able to enter.
"Who are the people chasing you?" Lan Xiaobu continued asking.
Ye Lu had no intention of hiding anything. "It's a God Sect under the Jingfang Divine Court. This God Sect is called the Gengjia God Sect. It's rumored that the Jingfang Divine Court's preparatory God Son, Min Lun, learned the Dao from the Gengjia God Sect. The person chasing us is a God Monarch called Jiang Yi. As for the reason, it's a long story. I will tell Chief Lan later. "
"Gengjia God Sect? It sounds like a Buddhist sect. "Lan Xiaobu was slightly puzzled.
"Leader, has the assessment been brought forward?" At this moment, Shi Yi and the rest had heard the announcement and came out to inquire about the situation.
"Yes, it has been brought forward. We will go over together later. Everyone, please wait. "Lan Xiaobu gestured for everyone to wait by the side for him to clarify.
Ye Lu answered, "It is indeed the inheritance of the Western Sect. However, they are not merciful people. The Gengjia God Sect is particular about killing and plundering. They would never give up their own interests for other reasons. Many innocent cultivators have been killed because they offended the Gengjia God Sect. "
Lan Xiaobu nodded. "In that case, let's talk about it after my assessment. If I don't get a ranking, then it's useless to say anything now. "
Ye Lu suddenly transmitted a voice, "Leader Lan, you have to be careful of the people around you. The reason why they know about the Great Desolate God Horn is most likely because something happened to the people around you. Also, they sent people to participate in the assessment. Other than to get a ranking, there is another reason for them to deal with the people of the Great Desolate God Horn. "
"Are you also staying in this rest house?" Lan Xiaobu asked.
Ye Lu nodded. "Yes."
"In that case, stay here and wait for our news." Lan Xiaobu nodded to Ye Lu, indicating that he agreed with her words.
"Leader Jiao, my husband and I are both Tool Refiners. We can refine Grade 3 God Artifacts." Before leaving, Ye Lu suddenly transmitted a message to Lan Xiaobu.
Lan Xiaobu did not respond. If what Ye Lu said was true, then he decided to accept Ye Lu and her as his dao companion. A Grade 3 God Tool Refiner was something that would be fought for anywhere. The reason why Ye Lu and her dao companion were still on the run was probably because they were worried about being imprisoned, or that the Gengjia God Gate's background was too great. Even if they joined other sects, they would be pressured to hand them over.
Lan Xiaobu could ignore tens of thousands of high-grade god crystals and the Nine Leaves Crossing the Nine Flowers. He could even ignore the threat of the power behind the Fragrant Pavilion Master. This was probably the main reason why she chose Lan Xiaobu. She felt that Lan Xiaobu's character was trustworthy.
…
When Lan Xiaobu brought the group of people from the Great Desolate God Horn to the central plaza of the Jade Heng Divine Dao City, there were already many people gathered here. One could see how many people were participating in the assessment.
With so many people participating in the assessment, and the Gui Heng Divine Court only needed a few Jiao Elders and City Lords, one could imagine the intensity of the competition.
"Brother Xiao Bu, I also just returned here. The moment I came back, I heard about your situation. I originally wanted to look for you, but I suddenly found out that the assessment was going to start early, so I waited here for you. You should have looked for me for the previous matter. A mere Pavilion Master dared to make a move on you. He was simply courting death. " Before Lan Xiaobu could inquire about the assessment, Kuang Jue hurriedly came in front of Lan Xiaobu.
"Department Head Kuang, you have too many things to do. I don't need to trouble you with such a small matter," Lan Xiaobu said with a smile.
Kuang Jue was a good person. At the very least, he knew how to repay kindness. In this aspect, he was much better than that smiling tiger Luo Yi.
"Xiao Bu, how do you feel about the Great Desolate God Horn?" Kuang Jue suddenly set up a soundproof restriction and asked in a low voice.
Lan Xiaobu said, "It's alright. I'm thinking of ways to make the Great Desolate God Horn habitable."
"Has it been effective?" Kuang Jue immediately asked.
Lan Xiaobu nodded, "Yes, it has indeed been effective."
Kuang Jue sighed, "Recently, some people have been asking about the Great Desolate God Horn. They even hope to become the Jiao Elder of the Great Desolate God Horn. Although the Great Desolate God Horn's talisman seal has been given to you, you have to be careful in this assessment. If someone obtains the qualifications to become a City Lord, they will have the authority to take the Great Desolate God Horn from you. "
"Many thanks for Brother Kuang's reminder. I understand," Lan Xiaobu said.
Kuang Jue continued, "There are God Monarchs participating in this assessment. Although I don't know why God Monarchs would participate in this assessment out of boredom, you have to be careful. Because the contents of the assessment are strictly confidential, I didn't manage to find out. If you really can't do it, you can choose to withdraw. Don't worry. With me, Kuang Jue, around, you can live anywhere. "
Lan Xiaobu thanked him once again. He knew that Kuang Jue was doing this for his own good.
At this moment, a huge white jade altar suddenly rose in the middle of the plaza. Kuang Jue hurriedly said, "You have to be careful. I need to do something."
With that, he patted Lan Xiaobu and left quickly.
A slender man suddenly appeared on the white jade altar in the middle of the plaza. After this man appeared on the white jade altar, everyone in the plaza quietened down.
The man clasped his fists and said in a clear voice, "I am Guiheng Divine Court's Dao Monarch, Uncle Guiheng. Firstly, I would like to thank all the fellow daoists in the God World for looking up to my Guiheng Divine Court and coming here to participate in my Guiheng Divine Court's Horn Head and City Lord Assessment. Because of certain reasons, I have suddenly brought the assessment forward by three days. Moreover, it has started in a hurry. I seek everyone's understanding.
Before this assessment, my Uncle Guiheng used the name of the Dao Monarch to guarantee everyone that this assessment will be fair and just. Anyone who wants to take advantage of the situation better not come. Otherwise, you will be killed directly. At the same time, I would like to say a second thing. The mortality rate of this assessment is extremely high. Half of the people participating in the assessment might die. Therefore, I would like to ask all the dao friends who are worried about death to withdraw from the assessment. There will be no punishment for withdrawing from the assessment. Moreover, you can still stay in Yu Heng Divine Dao City to watch other cultivators participate in the assessment. "
After these words were spoken, waves of discussion could be heard from the plaza.
Many people had expected that there would be casualties in this assessment. However, half of the people participating in the assessment were still out of everyone's expectations. This was too high. Was it worth it to risk their lives for the sake of an ethereal Horn Head?
Uncle Guiheng continued, "I will personally be the invigilator for this assessment. This assessment will be presided over by my Guiheng Divine Court's First Court Pillar, Luo Yi. Now, Court Pillar Luo Yi will explain the assessment and the specific process."
