The exploration activities in Old Qingfeng City had not stopped for more than 20 years. However, the power of the sect was limited, so they could only allow the cultivators of other sects and individual cultivators to participate.
As a result, the speed of exploration was bound to be greatly accelerated. However, due to the difference in cultivation level and the strength of the remaining demonic beasts in the original demonic mark area were beyond the imagination of ordinary people, it caused a large number of casualties.
In view of this, the Tai Qing Pavilion had no choice but to send elite inner disciples to encircle and annihilate them. This way, they would be able to get rid of the more powerful ones. However, there were always fish that escaped the net. Those demonic beasts had already lost their minds. After being eliminated, they fled to the four major secret realms.
Now, even the Soul Formation cultivators of the sect did not dare to enter easily. If they were surrounded by demonic beasts in the secret realms, they would not be able to escape.
As for those secret realms, they had a suppressive effect on the Soul Formation cultivators, so they could not exert the strength of the Soul Formation cultivators. Therefore, after the elders of the sect discussed, they unanimously decided to send the top elite Soul Formation cultivators of the sect to set up a formation with the disciples of other sects to eliminate the hidden dangers of the demonic beasts once and for all.
Sitting at the end of the sect's discipline hall, Yi Tian listened to the sect elders talk about the situation over the years. He finally understood the current predicament the sect was facing.
However, he did not understand why he was called in. He glanced at the fellow disciples sitting in front of him. They were all in the late stage of the Soul Formation realm. He did not know most of these people. Except for Qing Lianyun, Xiang Donghui, and Murong Feixue sitting at the front, only his brother-in-law Hua Yulin was familiar with him. The rest of the people were all new to him.
After returning to the sect from Jingjiang Country, he originally wanted to use this as an excuse to avoid trouble, but he did not expect to receive a transfer order from the sect's discipline hall. Helplessly, he had to bite the bullet and report, but in the end, he found that he was the only cultivator in the middle stage of the Soul Formation realm.
Later, after the discipline hall elder finished the introduction, he took out three jade tokens and handed them to Qing Lianyun, Xiang Donghui, and Murong Feixue, asking them to choose the people to cooperate with.
Previously, he had heard that the Elder had arranged for them to split into three groups, with the top three Soul Formation cultivators leading them to enter the Illusion Realm, the Absolute Illusion Realm, and the Illusory Realm to clear out the demonic beasts.
After the three of them received the tokens, they seemed to have a discussion. Then Qing Lianyun spoke first, "Junior Brothers, this time the sect has ordered us to do it. Since every mystic realm is filled with danger, we need to be fully prepared."
Xiang Donghui continued, "Quality is more important than quantity. This time, I think we only need a five-man team to go deep into each mystic realm, with an alchemist to assist them."
"Both of you have a point," Murong Feixue interrupted at an inappropriate time. "Considering the different strengths of the demonic beasts in each secret realm, I suggest that each of us choose a suitable team member to assist us."
Obviously, there was a hidden meaning in her words. Yi Tian immediately noticed something was wrong, but he was sitting at the end of the table and couldn't say anything.
When it came to selecting members, Qing Lianyun's eyes lit up. Then, her beautiful eyes swept over everyone present. Very quickly, her gaze locked onto the familiar figure sitting at the end of the table.
However, before she could speak, Murong Feixue interrupted, "Senior Sister is powerful, so you don't have to worry. Why don't you let me choose first?"
Qing Lianyun didn't expect Murong Feixue to say this, but she couldn't ignore her in front of so many senior and junior brothers. Thus, she nodded slightly and said, "No problem, then we will each have four people to assist us. What do you think, Junior Brother Xiang?"
Xiang Donghui was still expressionless and didn't comment. However, he couldn't put on airs when Qing Lianyun asked. Then, he replied, "Since Senior Sister agrees, I naturally have no objections. However, it's better for the three of us to take turns during the selection. If Junior Sister Murong chooses all the people I value at once, it won't be appropriate. "
Speaking of which, Xiang Donghui didn't want to be at a disadvantage. Otherwise, if Murong Feixue chose all the elites and left behind a bunch of weaklings, the difficulty of his mission would be greatly increased.
Yi Tian didn't have high hopes for this mission if they were already fighting among themselves. However, if Murong Feixue chose first, the chances of him being chosen would be greatly increased. After thinking about it, he didn't raise his head and just sat there with his head lowered. He looked as if this matter didn't concern him and hoped that Murong Feixue wouldn't go overboard and choose him.
Unfortunately, the ideal was beautiful, but reality was always cruel. Murong Feixue's gaze drifted across her fellow disciples. Finally, she pointed to the last seat and said, "I will pick Junior Brother Yi first. He is an expert in array formations. With his help, this trip will be much easier."
Once she said that, the senior and junior brothers all looked disappointed. They didn't expect Senior Sister Murong to choose such a person. Yi Tian was embarrassed. It seemed like the opportunity to bring along a beauty was actually very dangerous.
He kept muttering in his heart. It seemed like Murong Feixue didn't intend to let him go. He had to take it easy this time. The most fatal danger might be lurking around him at all times.
Once he said that, Qing Lianyun's expression returned to normal. However, her eyes flickered as if she was thinking about something. Her right hand kept playing with the token. Yi Tian had interacted with her for twenty years and naturally knew her every move like the back of his hand. She was already very dissatisfied with Murong Feixue, but she couldn't express it on the spot because of her pride.
As for Xiang Donghui, he turned to look at the two of them and asked, "Junior Sister Murong, I'm afraid this is inappropriate. Although Junior Brother Yi is a formation expert, his cultivation level is only in the mid-stage. Furthermore, you are the weakest among the three of us. Why don't you choose the stronger helper first? "
It was obvious that his words struck a chord with the senior and junior brothers beside him. However, a trace of hatred flashed across Murong Feixue's eyes. She then defended herself, "Senior Brother Xiang, you're wrong. Junior Brother Yi's formation skills are better than the senior and junior brothers in the late-stage Soul Formation Stage. With him, my team's overall strength might be the strongest."
Hearing this, Yi Tian cursed Murong Feixue from head to toe. He had met many people but none of them were as vicious as her. Now, those senior and junior brothers were looking at him with undisguised anger mixed with some jealousy. After going in, not to mention cooperating, he would definitely be the first person to be isolated. When the time came for her to deal with him, he was afraid that no one would help him.
Furthermore, he was certain that Murong Feixue would purge anyone who had even the slightest bit of relationship with him in order to isolate him.
At this moment, he felt that Qing Lianyun was looking at him with a trace of worry. After seeing this, Yi Tian gave her a reassuring look.
