Three days later, outside the Blood Forbidden Land.
Not far from where Su Yi sneaked in that day, the disciples from the seven major sects who had entered the Blood Forbidden Land this time had gathered together.
Different from the past, this time the team was no longer led by the Danjie monks, but by the Yuan Ying ancestors of each sect. Except for the old monster Feng from Huadaowu who did not arrive, all the Yuan Ying ancestors of the other sects arrived.
In the past, when entering the Blood Forbidden Land, each faction agreed to send twenty-five people. But this time, each faction gathered a hundred people. Each faction guaranteed at least the "elite disciples" of the thirteenth level of Qi training.
If there are less than ten people, serve as the team leader.
These leading disciples are all genius disciples who are regarded as treasures by various sects, with rare spiritual roots. If the blood ban trial remains the same as before, each sect will never send these geniuses to consume it.
But this time is different. The seven Yuan Ying ancestors have already set the tone. Disciples of the seven sects will never attack each other. There are only two main tasks for everyone - one is to find the green demon soul lurking inside, and the other is to
Collect mature herbs.
The harvest from the Blood Forbidden Land will eventually be divided equally among all the factions, without distinction.
If the green demon soul is found, whether it is the discovery of clues or the disciples involved in the arrest, they will receive additional rewards from the Nascent Soul Ancestors.
However, if there is something bloody like killing each other or grabbing credit, once it is found out, not only will all the rewards for this trip be cancelled, but they will also be directly removed from the seven sects, their cultivation will be abolished, and they will be kicked out of the sect.
The rewards can be said to be generous, but the punishments can also be said to be severe.
Of course, no matter how strict the rules are, there will always be people who are willing to take chances and take risks. Especially the talented disciples who entered this time all carried magic weapons and even treasures such as talismans that were specially awarded by their elders to target the soul. People are unpredictable, and it is inevitable that there will be some dangers.
Greedy people have thoughts they shouldn't have, and there are always people who think they won't be discovered.
"This is the blood oath contract produced by the Righteous Dao Alliance." The female cultivator of the Yuanying Sect of the Hidden Moon Sect waved her hand, and a blood-colored scroll appeared in mid-air, with a strange aura. "As long as you use your own magic power to leave your name on it, it won't work.
Whether it is a real name or a pseudonym, the contract will be effective."
"Once it takes effect, those who leave their names must not attack each other. If there is any violation, there will be backlash. At least the cultivation level will be reduced by one level, and in the worst case, the foundation will be damaged, and there is no possibility of further improvement in the cultivation level." She looked around,
He said coldly, "I advise you not to take any chances!"
"No matter how unknowingly you do it, or even if you have a way to minimize the backlash, it's useless, because whoever violates the rules will have a black light on the name left on the contract. You can't do anything in it.
No matter how perfect it is, it will all be exposed in this contract."
The words of the Nascent Soul female cultivator of the Hidden Moon Sect really made many treacherous people present give up their bad thoughts. The Nascent Soul ancestors of each sect also warned their disciples not to break the precepts and embarrass themselves and the sect.
"Since we have this blood oath contract, why didn't we take it out before? How many innocent people have our seven major sects killed among each other in the Blood Forbidden Land for hundreds of years? If we had taken out this blood oath contract earlier..." Yes
The disciple was indignant and complained to his companions, apparently because some of his relatives and friends had died in the Blood Forbidden Land before.
Ancestor Linghu glanced at his disciple and sneered: "This blood oath contract is worth three thousand mid-level spiritual stones. Which of you has so much life value?"
"Besides, the dead people are not lucky enough and have bad opportunities. Living is a waste of sect resources. Every time such a person lives, the resources you get will be one point less." Ancestor Linghu said with a cold face, "I, Huang Maple Valley, are three hundred
A few years ago, even the monthly salary of an outer disciple cost ten yuan of low-level spiritual stones, but now it has been reduced to two yuan. Do you know why? There is only one reason - there are too many people!"
This bloody reality makes all the monks feel sad. The world of cultivation where the great road is only about fighting and respecting the strong is the cruelest law of the jungle. These disciples of the big sect were deceived by the strict sect rules and the illusion that the seven sects are harmonious.
I naively think that rules are binding on everyone.
"If there are no problems with each faction, come and sign a blood oath contract." On the other side, the Yuanying female cultivator from the Hidden Moon Sect said.
"Ancestor, this disciple has something to report." Just when Ancestor Linghu was about to call his disciples to come over and sign, Chen Qiaoqian suddenly stood up and bowed.
"Only after the disciple hastily took over as the team leader, he discovered that some of the junior brothers he led this time were lacking in strength and cultivation. Even if they entered the Blood Forbidden Land, they would not be able to help. I boldly ask the ancestor to allow me to change
Two people, the person chosen by the disciple is also here, both are at the twelfth level of Qi training and are very good at fighting..."
Chen Qiaoqian's unexpected move made Ancestor Linghu frown. He stared at the latter deeply for a few times before nodding: "That's right!"
All the disciples looked at him sideways. Disciples in the Qi training stage were usually very timid and afraid to speak out in front of the Yuanying Ancestor. How could someone like Chen Qiaoqian stand up and boldly raise her demands?
Normally, when faced with something as trivial as sesame seeds and mung beans, the ancestor with a better temper would just scold you a few times. If he catches up with the one with a bad temper, he will teach you how to behave on the spot. Ancestor Linghu has never been a good-tempered person, but
Faced with this situation today, he actually agreed without saying anything.
This has caused many people to secretly speculate whether Chen Qiaoqian and Ancestor Linghu are related...
Chen Qiaoqian felt happy when she saw Ancestor Linghu agreed. She had an idea after waking up the day before yesterday - the more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was really awkward to choose two people to lead the team.
Just when she was about to tell her fourth uncle about this matter and ask him to exchange for two places, another idea came to her mind - the person chosen by her fourth uncle was either his confidant or someone he had accepted.
The good thing is that she will definitely not agree to her substitution. If she wants to substitute someone, she can only do it at the last moment.
I even had an imaginary picture in my mind on how to do it.
So, the scene just happened.
As for why Ancestor Linghu agreed...
The six Nascent Soul Ancestors came together to open the forbidden area. Is it just to break the restriction and let the disciples enter?
Why bother the ancestors like them when they can do things that the alchemy monks can do?
So there was a reason for them to come. Su Yi thought of the reason in advance, so he implanted these two ideas into Chen Qiaoqian. He expected that the ancestor Linghu would definitely agree, in order to see what was wrong with Chen Qiaoqian's move.
, he will never object.
Any abnormality at this critical moment will not be missed by these Nascent Soul Ancestors.
Chen Qiaoqian quickly asked two people she had re-selected to come over. These were two disciples of the Chen family who were good friends with her. They were both at the twelfth level of qi training, and they were considered the best among the disciples in the qi training stage.
"Chen Hu, Xiang Zhili, you two come out. You don't have to participate in this blood ban trial. You can go back now." Chen Qiaoqian turned to look at the two people in her team and ordered in a cold tone.
Among the seven or eight monks behind her, an old man with white hair and beard and another burly man all showed astonishment. Apparently, they did not expect that the "deficient" candidates that Chen Qiaoqian mentioned before would be them.
The burly man was stunned for a moment and then became furious: "Chen Qiaoqian, you are avenging your personal revenge!"
This person is a direct descendant of the Chen family. He has always complained about Chen Qiaoqian's use of family resources. The relationship between the two is very tense. However, he is someone whom Uncle Chen values. Now that Chen Qiaoqian has suddenly kicked him out, he will naturally feel that Chen Qiaoqian is taking the opportunity to retaliate against him.
.
"Don't be arrogant in front of our ancestors. Get out of here quickly and don't waste everyone's time!" Chen Qiaoqian scolded her coldly.
"You..." Chen Hu's face turned red with anger, but he raised his head and glanced at the Linghu Ancestor, only to find that the latter was staring at him with bright eyes. Chen Hu immediately lowered his head and did not dare to say anything.
As for Xiang Zhili on his side, he looked stunned and disbelieving from beginning to end.
The two people who replaced them had already arrived, but when passing by Ancestor Linghu, the latter suddenly said calmly: "Wait! You two come here!"
The two of them walked over cautiously without knowing the reason. Ancestor Linghu reached out and touched one of them's eyebrows, and started to investigate carefully.
After investigating one person, he then carefully probed the other person, and then used the art of interrogation to find out why the two of them participated in this blood ban trial.
This cautious look made everyone look at each other. What they didn't notice was that while Patriarch Linghu was asking questions, the other Patriarchs of Nascent Soul were also secretly on guard, as if they would take action at any time.
Chen Qiaoqian was also a little confused. She realized something was wrong, felt a little scared in her heart, and couldn't help but turn pale.
Just then a depressed voice came from behind her.
"Sister Chen, can you tell me why you want to replace me?"
Chen Qiaoqian looked back and saw Xiang Zhili with a look of helplessness on her face.
Chen Qiaoqian frowned slightly and said: "Junior brother Xiang, you are old, your potential has been exhausted, and your cultivation level is only at the eleventh level of Qi training. Do I need any other reason to replace you?"
Xiang Zhili sighed and said: "But I gave your fourth uncle fifty spiritual stones to change this place. This..."
"Then you go ask him for the spirit stone back!" Chen Qiaoqian's eyes flashed with disgust, she interrupted him coldly, turned her head and ignored him.
"Come here!" Ancestor Linghu asked the two disciples, and after making sure there were no problems, he called Chen Qiaoqian over.
Chen Qiaoqian hurriedly followed the instructions.
"Why the sudden change of people?" Ancestor Linghu suddenly asked with a strange look in his eyes.
"Chen Hu and I have always had issues. If this person comes with me, he will only do bad things and not achieve anything, so I don't want to take him with me." Chen Qiaoqian's eyes were blank and she said in a numb tone, "Xiang Zhili's cultivation is low, and his eyes look very...
Dishonest, I don’t like him.”
"Is it just because of these?" Ancestor Linghu frowned.
"Yes." Chen Qiaoqian nodded.
While he was asking questions here, Han Li's heart was beating wildly on the other side.
He was sure that what Chen Qiaoqian told was definitely not the truth! He was sure that Su Yi had done something, but he had no idea what Su Yi's purpose was.
The results of the questioning convinced everyone that this was the truth, including Ancestor Linghu.
Is it really just a normal episode?
Ancestor Linghu couldn't help but look at the other Nascent Soul cultivators. They all shook their heads invisibly, indicating that they didn't see or notice anything unusual.
"You two, come here!" Ancestor Linghu's eyes fell on Chen Hu and Xiang Zhili.
The expressions of both of them changed at the same time.
But Chen Hu was just afraid, and Xiang Zhili felt that he was not well.
"I just want to go in quietly and find what I need. Why is it so difficult?" He was extremely depressed now and felt that he was extremely unlucky.
No wonder I felt depressed when I went to sleep the night before yesterday. It turned out that I had such a problem today.
He sneaked into the Yellow Maple Valley just to participate in a blood-forbidden trial and enter the blood-forbidden land. This body can be regarded as his external incarnation.
As for why he, the dignified monk who transformed into gods, didn’t just go in by himself?
The reason is very simple, he just wants to keep a low profile and not alert anyone, and transforming into a low-level monk also gives him the feeling of playing in the world of mortals.
The Blood Forbidden Land was opened in advance, which made him happy for a while. He indeed asked Fourth Uncle Chen for this spot, but he didn't spend a single spiritual stone. He just used an illusion and asked Fourth Uncle Chen to add his name to the list.
inside.
Before this, he had never thought that he would not be able to enter the Blood Forbidden Land. He had never considered the possibility that he would not be able to get in.
But this ridiculous thing just happened!
If Chen Qiaoqian could attack earlier, Xiang Zhili would have countless ways to make her give up or change her mind, and he would also have countless ways to find another way to sneak into the Blood Forbidden Land.
But it happened that at the last moment when they were about to enter the Blood Forbidden Land, the six Nascent Souls——
No, in fact, when all seven Nascent Souls were present, Chen Qiaoqian suddenly kicked him off the list!
What can Xiang Zhili do now?
Cast a spell?
Use illusions to make Chen Qiaoqian change her mind?
The Spirit Transformation monk is strong, but not ridiculously strong! To cast spells and do tricks under the noses of seven Nascent Souls is like using bean bags instead of solid food! Do you really think that all Nascent Soul monks are vegetarians?
If he dares to play any tricks now, he will be discovered by these seven Nascent Soul cultivators who are eyeing him. Then he will be even more embarrassed than he is now.
Besides, it is useless to ask Chen Qiaoqian to change his mind now, because with Chen Qiaoqian's "help", he has successfully attracted the attention of seven Nascent Soul monks.
Chen Qiaoqian really didn't leave him any chance to react or maneuver!
Of course Xiang Zhili heard about the green demon soul, but he didn't take it seriously. He didn't even care about the seven major sects, how could he care about a mere demon soul?
However, he has always noticed the caution of the seven major sects in the face of powerful enemies. Today, in addition to the six Nascent Souls on the surface, Old Monster Feng is also hiding in the dark, holding his treasure-hunting rat in his hand.
They knew that Su Yi was good at the art of incarnation, so of course they had to prevent Su Yi from getting in among these disciples.
Xiang Zhili had always relied on his skill and boldness before, and didn't think that these Nascent Soul monks would find him as a wolf who had mixed up with the sheep, but it was different now.
If Ancestor Linghu really probes his external incarnation, then his secrets cannot be kept secret at all.
In other words, although Ancestor Linghu hasn't started to investigate him yet, he has already been exposed.
Xiang Zhili stood there with a tangled look on his face, weighed for a while and finally gave up on his plan to reveal his strength and identity.
The cultivator of the Transformation God has a lot of face, he can't afford to embarrass this person!
