Shao Pingbo asked again, "Did Niu Youdao come out alone, or did everyone come out?"
Tai-shu Xiong replied, "It's not clear yet. So far, only Niu Youdao came out. At the very least, the sect doesn't know if any of their disciples came out. The sect should be contacting the other sects to find out."
Shao Pingbo was silent. Was it unexpected? It was a little unexpected, but to him, it was reasonable. The Niu Youdao that he knew, unless he couldn't come out after entering Heaven Capital Mystery Land, it wasn't strange at all for Niu Youdao to come out.
His first reaction was that Niu Youdao must have used some method to escape from the Saint State.
His feelings were very complicated. He hoped that Niu Youdao wouldn't be able to escape from the Saint State, but he also felt that it would be too easy for Niu Youdao. He wanted to get rid of Niu Youdao with his own hands. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he wanted to wash away his shame. Otherwise, there were some things that he would have to bear for the rest of his life. However, there were many things that he couldn't do with his current ability.
And the important matter in front of him was interrupted by Niu Youdao. He knew that Niu Youdao didn't do it on purpose, but to a certain extent, it also proved that the gap between him and Niu Youdao was getting bigger and bigger. Back then, he was an existence that Niu Youdao looked up to, and Niu Youdao could only run away from him. But now, he couldn't come up with anything that could shake Niu Youdao.
He also understood where the biggest gap between the two of them was. The gap between a cultivator and a non-cultivator. This was an insurmountable gap that often made him feel powerless …
Niu Youdao had many enemies. Shao Pingbo wasn't the only one who wanted Niu Youdao dead. However, many people were like Shao Pingbo. They were no longer facing Niu Youdao, so they had to weigh their own strength. The news that Niu Youdao had escaped from the Saint State gradually spread, and many people were disappointed.
Even in Purple Golden Cave, many people hoped that Niu Youdao would die in the Saint State, but they were also afraid that Niu Youdao would die in the Saint State. They were worried that the Saint State would force Niu Youdao into a corner and force Niu Youdao to fight back, which would implicate Purple Golden Cave. Everyone had been together in the Purple Golden Cave for a while. They could all see that if it really came to that, Niu Youdao would most likely do something like that. He probably wouldn't just sit and wait for death.
If an elder of Purple Golden Cave went against a Saint State, the consequences would be terrible!
For a while, the news that Niu Youdao had left the Saint State had spread far and wide, and attracted a lot of attention in the cultivation world.
In short, that abandoned disciple of the Shangqing Sect had unknowingly become a big shot in the cultivation world for more than ten years.
Nowadays, Niu Youdao was considered a big shot in the cultivation world. No one could deny this. Many famous people had to look up to him. Wu Zhaoxing, who was recognized as an expert on the List of Alchemy, had become a subordinate of Niu Youdao.
Many Loose Cultivators regarded Niu Youdao as a role model. The name 'Daoye' had spread among some people. Many Loose Cultivators used the name 'Daoye' when they talked about him.
Niu Youdao's success made many Loose Cultivators want to repeat his success. They wanted to choose someone similar to Shang Chaozong to support, but because of that, many people lost their lives. There was only one Niu Youdao, and no one knew if there would be a second one in the future …
A group of large flying beasts arrived at Guarding Imperfection Mountain Villa. For the upcoming second trial, the Misty Pavilion had mobilized a total of a hundred large flying beasts.
The sect with the most large flying beasts was not the Wan Shou Sect, but the Saint State.
The participants from each sect, as well as the corresponding number of people from the Misty Pavilion, were all lined up and waiting at Guarding Imperfection Mountain Villa.
Ding Wei, who was standing on top of the pavilion, held two lists. One was from the Misty Pavilion, and the other was from each sect. He suddenly said, "Since it's a competition, it must be fair."
The people standing at the side were stunned. They didn't know what he meant. Someone asked, "Is there a problem with the list?"
Ding Wei said, "The Misty Pavilion has one more person than the other sects. If Teacher Huang hasn't brought back Niu Youdao by the time the competition starts, the Misty Pavilion will have one less person. Don't let others talk about it, understand?"
"Yes, understood." His subordinate cupped his hands and accepted the order.
Ding Wei looked at the two groups of people standing below and slightly raised his chin. "Let's go!"
With his order, three people formed into groups and got on the flying beasts. Soon, almost three hundred people, including the escorts, were all on the flying beasts and circled in the sky.
Ding Wei leaped into the sky and landed on one of the flying beasts. He took the lead and left with the large number of flying beasts circling in the sky.
The sea of clouds, mountains, lakes, and rivers came and went behind them. The members of each sect who had just arrived at the Saint State kept looking around, sizing up the place.
They saw the sunset during the day and the stars at night. The next morning, after flying for almost a day, they finally arrived at a vast swamp country.
The swamps were overflowing and intertwined with the wild mountains. The forests in the swamps were like all kinds of strange beasts that hid their backs. This place was known as the Desolate Swamp Wasteland.
Although the name was not nice, it was magnificent. The group of people standing on the peak of the mountain looked into the distance and couldn't help but admire the uncanny workmanship of nature.
Regarding this place, the members who received the handbook had all seen the introduction in the handbook.
Because the swamps were overflowing and the area was huge, it was difficult for normal animals to survive here. Hence, it was known as the Wasteland.
But the Demon Fox was different. It had a different innate talent. It could climb mountains and cross rivers with a lithe body. It could run on the swamp grass and dig into the mud to hide.
As for why it was called the Demon Fox, it was because of its innate talent. An adult Demon Fox was born with the offensive power of a Qi Training Stage cultivator. In addition to its innate intelligence, it used to stand at the top of the food chain in the Saint State until it was ended by the cultivators who entered the Saint State.
It was also because of the special environment here that the Demon Fox could live and hide. When it encountered danger, it could escape into the swamps, making it hard for the cultivators to exterminate it.
It was also because the cultivators used all kinds of methods to kill the Demon Fox that the Demon Fox was forced into this place.
The predecessor of the Misty Pavilion was the cultivators who were recruited by the Saint State to hunt the Demon Fox. After defeating the Demon Fox, it became an organization to help the Saint State manage the world. Of course, the hunting of the Demon Fox has never stopped.
"The hunting period is three months. No matter what method you use, the final winner will be determined by the number of Demon Fox Eyes you get. After three months, we will meet here to determine the winner. Remember, there are two teams. One team is not allowed to rob the other team, and you are not allowed to kill the other team. If you break the rules, no matter who you are, you will be punished! "
Ding Wei stood at the highest point of the mountain and looked down. His cape fluttered behind him as he announced the rules of the competition.
The so-called Demon Fox Eye was the third eye of the Demon Fox. There was a vertical eye between the eyebrows of the Demon Fox. It was not usually opened, but it was the lifeline of the Demon Fox. Once the vertical eye of the Demon Fox was dug out, the Demon Fox would lose its life. It was fair to determine the winner. After all, they could not carry a pile of Demon Fox corpses with them.
Then, Ding Wei said to the cultivators, "Unlike the Misty Pavilion, you all have no experience in hunting. I suggest you all work together. It is better than you all searching aimlessly. Alright, let the competition begin! "
The participants of the Misty Pavilion gathered together. It was obvious that they were discussing the arrangements.
The participants of the Misty Pavilion looked at each other. They had no experience in this and did not know where to start. So, they gathered together to discuss what to do.
In the end, they decided to listen to Ding Wei's suggestion. Since they were going to work together, they needed to have a framework and a commander to give orders. Otherwise, everyone would be doing their own thing.
It took a lot of twists and turns to elect someone to give orders. In the end, it was more or less the stronger one who had the final say. There was no other way. At least the stronger one would have some deterrence in this temporary situation, and it would be easier for him to command.
After some debate, the leader of the hunting team was Elder Taishan Cheng of the Cloud Equipment Sect.
After this problem was solved, it was time for the next step. The group of people looked at the map given by the Misty Pavilion and discussed how to start.
Although there was a leader, the people of the Misty Pavilion still wanted to stay with the people of their own sect. They did not want to be separated. Therefore, the final method of action was to form a small team of people from each sect. After that, it was time to arrange the direction of the search, advance, and gather.
When it came to the Purple Golden Cave, Fu Hua interrupted, "Elder Taishan, there are not enough people in the Purple Golden Cave. There are only two people left. Let's not do it alone. Let the two of them come with us, Si Hai."
Si Hai and the others had promised Niu Youdao that they would help take care of Qin Guan and Ke Dingjie when Niu Youdao was not here.
Taishan Cheng's eyes flashed. "I am in charge of commanding here. I need two people to scout and contact everyone. Let them run errands beside me."
Niu Youdao's people? Everyone looked at each other. It was no secret that Niu Youdao had caused the entire Cloud Equipment Sect to be wiped out in the Secret Territory of Heaven Capital. If Niu Youdao's people were to fall into the hands of Taishan Cheng, they would not have a good ending.
When Qin Guan and Ke Dingjie heard this, they immediately became nervous.
Fu Hua reminded, "Elder Taishan, now is the time to unite. The results of the training will affect everyone's future. It would not be good to have any internal strife at this time." She was reminding him not to take revenge in public.
Taishan Cheng. "I have just been appointed as the leader, and there are already people who don't listen to me. How are we going to work together?"
Fu Hua said, "It's not that they don't listen to you. In order to avoid misunderstanding, it's better for Elder Taishan to avoid arousing suspicion."
"Hehe," TaiShu Shan Cheng suddenly said with cold eyes, "If that's the case, then let us all decide together. Are you in favor of my opinion, or are you in favor of Fu Hua's opinion? Let us all decide. Those who are in favor of my opinion, please raise your hand!" Finished speaking, he raised his hand first.
The other two sects of the Jin State followed the lead of the Cloud Equipment Sect, so naturally, they also raised their hands.
After that, the ones who raised their hands were Yan Country's Xiao Yao Palace and Spirit Sword Mountain.
The sects slowly raised their hands. Qi State, Wei State, and South Korea all raised their hands. Song State's Split Sky Palace and Blood Temple also raised their hands. However, under everyone's attention, High Heaven Pavilion Elder Quan Taifeng chuckled twice, cupped his hands, and said, "I remain neutral. I don't oppose anyone, and I don't agree with anyone."
By doing this, he had already given face to Niu Youdao. Everyone knew that this old guy was the sworn brother of Niu Youdao.
Qin State's people didn't raise their hands, and the four seas' people also didn't raise their hands, but this didn't affect the result.
