It was getting dark, and Zhou Qi returned to the Great Yong Dynasty's stronghold.
He saw everything that happened today.
Xiao Huo's strength was indeed beyond his expectation. The scene of crossing a large realm to kill Golden Core Realm felt unreal even if he saw it with his own eyes.
But then I thought about it, it's normal for a child of destiny to receive some special treatment.
Zhou Qi There is nothing to be jealous of.
His approach is different from that of Xiao Huo. He does not need adventure or enlightenment. He just needs to work steadily and he will reach the top sooner or later.
Speaking of which, when Xiao Huo fought against Cang Lie, Zhou Qi was really worried. If Xiao Huo was really defeated, he would also help out.
It's not that you are soft-hearted and don't want others to get hurt. The reason is very simple. Everyone comes from the Great Yong Dynasty. When they are embarrassed, outsiders will not laugh at someone, they will only laugh at the Great Yong Dynasty for being too strong.
After Xiao Huo and others left, Zhou Qi walked around the market a few more times.
With good luck, I found two more Golden-Patterned Fruit.
Although resistance to antibiotics is already evident, mosquito legs are also meat.
He scanned the entire market and confirmed that there were no spiritual objects worth selling before returning to the Great Yong stronghold alone.
When we walked into the yard, everyone had already returned.
Xiao Huo was too overdrafted and went back to the room directly.
The other people were sitting in the living room, and the atmosphere was obviously not right.
Shen Hongyuan sat next to the main seat, pressing the hilt of the sword with a gloomy look on his face.
Several Foundation Establishment, Sixth Layer players huddled aside, not daring to breathe.
Seeing Zhou Qi come in, Shen Hongyuan hesitated for a moment, stood up and walked to him.
"I didn't see you today, so you might not know something happened." Her voice was very low, not wanting too many people to hear her.
Zhou Qi didn't answer the call and waited quietly.
"We had a conflict with the Cangwu Dynasty." Shen Hongyuan told the story in a few words, and finally added:
"They have two Golden Core Realm. One of them was injured by Xiao Huo. You should be careful these two days. I'm worried that the other Golden Core Realm will come to cause trouble."
Zhou Qi nodded. "Thank you."
After saying that, he turned and returned to the room.
Before the door was tightly closed, Zhao Wuji's voice floated in from the outside, angrily. "Hongyuan, there is no need to tell him, he doesn't dare to come out even Foundation Establishment, Ninth Layer Peak, why are you reminding him?"
Shen Hongyuan glared at him. "Don't you dare to come out? There's no need to tell others."
Zhao Wuji smiled and spread his hands, "You have wronged me. At that time, Qianshan, Wen Yuan and I were buying spiritual fruits in the distance. We really didn't notice it. If you don't believe me, just ask them."
Shen Hongyuan snorted coldly and was too lazy to pay attention to him.
She took out a bottle of elixir from her room, walked to Xiao Huo's door, knocked twice, pushed the door open and went in.
The door closed, and Zhao Wuji's voice rang again, this time with a somewhat narrow smile, "It's over, it's over, Xiao Huo is a hero who saved the beauty and stole Hongyuan's heart."
Su Wenyuan finally couldn't bear it anymore. He put away his fan and knocked on the table. "Stop saying a few words and no one will think you are dumb."
In the next few days, the group lived on tenterhooks.
I dare not go out in the stronghold during the day, and I take shifts at night for fear that people from Cangwu will come knocking on my door.
But the strange thing is that there is never any movement from the Cangwu Dynasty.
No one came to retaliate or send anyone to negotiate. It was as quiet as nothing happened.
This silence is more disturbing than a direct knock on the door.
It wasn't until the early morning of the tenth day that Li You finally appeared.
Holding a wooden box in his hand, he summoned everyone to the hall.
Ten people sat around the long table, all eyes falling on his hand.
Li You opened the wooden box, took out ten palm-sized pieces of Token, and distributed them to everyone one by one.
Token is completely black and slightly heavy in hand. On the front is an ancient seal character "Xian" engraved, and on the back is a smooth mirror surface, where you can vaguely see your own reflection.
Li You glanced at everyone and saw that everyone had expressions of excitement and nervousness on their faces. He cleared his throat and spoke.
"Ascendant Path The assessment starts tomorrow. Everyone, please gather at the gate of the mountain tomorrow at 10:00. Be sure not to be late."
Shen Hongyuan played with the Token in his hand, looked over it several times, and asked, "Manager Li, what is the use of this Token?"
Li You looked at her and said solemnly, "Token is your identity certificate. Don't lose it. It contains an initial score of 1 point. After entering Immortal Path Minor World, you can get points by killing Demon Beast. Only the top 30 people in the final score can advance."
Hearing this, everyone had different expressions.
Su Wenyuan closed the folding fan and asked, "There are only thirty people?"
"Yes." Li You held out three fingers, "One thousand and eighty people will enter the venue, and only thirty will be promoted. The rest... if they can survive, they can also join Immortal Sect, but they have to start as handymen."
The hall suddenly became agitated.
Zhao Wuji frowned into a knot and raised his voice a little higher. "The competition is so fierce? Is there any chance of success if you become a handyman?"
Li You looked at him and said calmly, "Of course, as long as the handyman disciples step into the Golden Core Realm realm, they can enter Outer Sect."
These words made the faces of several Foundation Establishment, Sixth Layer players soften slightly, but the worry in their eyes did not diminish at all.
Su Wenyuan asked again, "Small World are there any other rules that need to be paid attention to?"
Li You nodded, his expression became solemn.
"This time, a total of 108 forces participated in Ascendant Path, and 1,080 people entered the venue. The trial lasted for thirty days. After thirty days, the top 30 will join Immortal Sect Outer Sect, and the remaining survivors will become servant disciples."
He pointed at the Token in everyone's hands. "The Immortal Ascension Token in your hands will record your results. There are two ways to obtain points."
He raised a finger. "First, kill Demon Beast. Depending on Demon Beast's strength, you can get one to one hundred points."
"Second..." Li You raised his second finger, paused and said, "If you kill others, you can take away all the points from them."
As soon as these words came out, the hall exploded.
Shen Hongyuan frowned. "How could this happen? Immortal Sect won't you stop this behavior?"
Li You shook his head. "No. Immortal Sect not only did not stop it, but also respected it. Survival of the fittest and the law of the jungle are the fundamental factors that promote the development of the entire world of immortality."
The hall fell silent.
Everyone was silent.
The air seemed to be frozen, making people breathless.
Several Foundation Establishment, Sixth Layer contestants' faces turned pale, their lips were trembling, and they could not speak a word.
They finally understood why Cangwu Dynasty had not moved at all these days.
It's not that I'm not retaliating, I'm just waiting for Ascendant Path to start.
There is no point in fighting outside. Only by killing people inside Immortal Path Minor World can you maximize your profits.
Zhou Qi leaned on the back of the chair and tapped his fingers on the armrest twice.
He glanced at Xiao Huo.
Xiao Huo was sitting in the corner, with his arms folded across his chest, and his face was unusually calm.
There was no fear or nervousness in those eyes, but a hint of excitement
Zhou Qi withdrew his gaze and looked at Li You: "Manager Li, please continue."
Li You nodded and continued, "In Small World, there will be a 'Sky Rankings' in the sky. You can see it when you look up. The top thirty people with points will be displayed in real time. In addition, you can also spend ten points to obtain the specific location of the designated person."
Shen Hongyuan's face turned even uglier. "That means you can directly locate and hunt down the opponent?"
Li You did not deny it, but nodded slightly.
The hall fell into silence again.
This time, even Su Wenyuan couldn't laugh.
After a while, Xiao Huo spoke.
His voice was not loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly. "What are you afraid of? Cangwu Dynasty will look for me first even if he wants to chase you."
Several Foundation Establishment, Sixth Layer players raised their heads and looked at him, the fear in their eyes fading a bit.
Today's scene is indeed outstanding, Xiao Huo's strength has given them some confidence.
Zhou Qi did not answer the call and continued to ask Li You: "Is there anything else?"
Li You glanced at him, as if he was thinking carefully, and then slowly said after a moment, "One last point, if you are behind in the rankings and want to make a comeback... there is another option."
