While keeping an eye on the Chat Group, Qin Feng called out a greeting and immediately left the five immortal islands in the East Sea.

He had no idea what might happen here next.

The three big shots had just flown past overhead. Maybe they hadn't noticed him.

But they could suddenly turn back after a while.

If that happened, he wouldn't even know how he died.

So he had better hurry and move somewhere safer.

He could come out and wander around after the system's Q&A session was over.

The ten people who received the notification in the group immediately grew tense.

Hong Yun and Kunpeng included.

Kunpeng was especially anxious.

"How could a quiz pop up at a time like this? I was so close to catching this guy. If a quiz appears now, won't all my efforts go to waste?"

East Prince Gong watched Kunpeng's expression shift and felt a wave of confusion.

He had no idea what was going on.

Hadn't Kunpeng been desperate to catch Hong Yun just a moment ago? Why had his pace now slowed against his will?

"Brother Kunpeng, did something happen on your end?"

At the sound of East Prince Gong's voice, Kunpeng came back to his senses.

He gritted his teeth. While keeping an eye on the Chat Group, he continued chasing Hong Yun.

That was what he had decided to do.

There was no harm in waiting until the quiz appeared before answering. Besides, he could see how generous the rewards were.

If they weren't generous, then he would definitely choose to catch Hong Yun.

After all, what reward could compare to the chance to attain the Dao?

It was the Primordial Violet Qi he had dreamed of—a wisp that had originally belonged to him, only for Zhunti to knock it away.

And it had all happened because of Hong Yun.

Meanwhile, Hong Yun, flying ahead, was also delighted.

The Chat Group had appeared at exactly the right time.

Once the quiz started, wouldn't Kunpeng have to give up chasing him and answer the questions?

Unfortunately, after waiting a while, Hong Yun saw that Kunpeng's expression had changed slightly, but he was still doggedly pursuing him.

So Hong Yun could only grit his teeth and continue burning through his cultivation.

As time passed, the power he had burned through earlier was already exhausted.

If he didn't keep burning through it, he might well meet his end here today. He wouldn't last long enough for the Chat Group quiz to begin.

[In view of the past two days' performance, the two people removed from the group this time will be those with the most incorrect answers]

The system notification appeared again.

The ten people in the group chat had all been on edge, but when they heard this, they breathed a collective sigh of relief.

Only the few who had answered incorrectly wore twisted expressions.

Di Jun, Zhunti, and Kunpeng were among them.

"Wait, the person with the most incorrect answers? Only Zhunti has answered two questions incorrectly, so there's no doubt he'll be one of them."

"But who will the other person be? There are plenty of people in the group who've answered one question incorrectly."

The group chat immediately grew lively.

"Maybe they'll randomly pick someone from among those of us who've answered one question incorrectly. Whoever gets picked, don't blame me. It wasn't my idea."

"If anyone's to blame, blame your bad luck."

Qin Feng, who was on his way elsewhere, couldn't resist stirring things up.

He sent two messages to tease the big shots.

He couldn't beat them in a real fight, but in the Chat Group, though his authority had been stripped away, he was still the group owner.

Besides, he had already established the impression that he was invincible. It wasn't as if these big shots could find him anyway.

And even if they tried, the system would cover for him for at least the next ten years.

[The first person to be removed from this group will be Zhunti, who answered two questions incorrectly. The other person will be randomly selected from among everyone, except Hong Yun, who answered one question correctly.]

The system notification rang out in the group.

Those who had just been relieved that they hadn't had a chance to answer suddenly looked troubled.

They hadn't expected Qin Feng, the group owner, to tease them so casually.

"Didn't you say you'd randomly pick someone from among those who answered incorrectly? Why are you now randomly picking from everyone except those who answered correctly?"

Taiyi immediately asked, unwilling to accept it.

"Exactly! You said this was to improve the group's overall accuracy. Why are those of us who haven't answered any questions being kicked out too?"

Those in the group who hadn't answered any questions chimed in one after another.

"Give it a rest. You haven't answered any questions. What does that prove? It proves that even if you did answer, you wouldn't get them right."

"And if someone even stronger than you joined the group, wouldn't they be able to claim more questions?"

"Don't worry. This selection is absolutely fair. We'll see who gets picked based on your luck."

"One person out of eight. Let's begin."

Qin Feng naturally put on the air of an expert and issued the command without hesitation.

Although the system had stripped him of his authority, it wouldn't disobey Qin Feng's command now.

After all, it had been planning to select someone to remove from the group anyway.

He had merely brought it forward a little.

There was no need to say anything about Zhunti. He had already been kicked out of the group as soon as the system's voice faded.

He was now pacing around anxiously.

The remaining person would be chosen from among the eight others.

Suddenly, everyone in the group saw eight names appear before them.

A golden dot of light then began spinning over the names.

Whoever it landed on would probably be kicked out of the group.

None of them wanted to be removed.

As the seconds ticked by, the golden dot gradually slowed.

Yet where it landed came as a surprise.

It was Taiyi.

As everyone knew, Eastern Emperor Taiyi had tried to buzz in, but hadn't managed to answer a question.

In other words, he hadn't been very lucky.

"Why me? This is so unfair! I knew the answers to so many questions, but I just couldn't buzz in fast enough."

Eastern Emperor Taiyi sent one final message, unwilling to accept the result.

But as soon as he sent it, he vanished from the group chat.

The remaining members all breathed a sigh of relief.

[Next, two new members will be brought into the group]

[Jieyin has joined the group]

[Zhen Yuanzi has joined the group]

Looking at the two new arrivals, everyone frowned.

The reason was simple: Jieyin was also part of the Western Teachings, and he and Zhunti were extremely close.

They were practically brothers.

Now that Zhunti had been kicked out, bringing Jieyin into the group hardly made any difference.

As for Zhen Yuanzi...

He had always been a neutral party.

He hadn't joined any faction, so his arrival didn't matter much.
