The clear and cold moonlight shines on the silent land. At the foot of the Crane Peak, the crowds of people coming and going had dispersed and fell into a deep sleep. Only a few dim firelights remained, shining through the windows of the inn, telling the host of his sleepless nights.
In the Hengyuezong's inn, Dai Yanfeng was one of the few people who couldn't sleep. With the candlelight dancing in the room, he held a piece of paper filled with black words in his hand, and the look in his eyes The brightness and destruction are uncertain.
Written on this piece of paper is the results of this intermediate sect qualifying match. It contains information on the winner of each match, as well as the ranking of each sect in this match based on the conversion of extra points in the match.
Hengyuezong is currently ranked first, only a few points behind the second-ranked Xuyangzong. As long as the disciples of Xuyangzong win one more game, the score can easily surpass Hengyuezong.
Therefore, even if Hengyuezong is temporarily ranked first, Dai Yanfeng is very clear that there is nothing to be happy about. At least, it is too early to say "happy".
But this is not what Dai Yanfeng cares about most. What he cares about most is that 40% of Xuyang Sect's score was obtained by the disciples of Jun Linxuan, the master of Lintian Peak.
What's more, Dai Yanfeng also heard about something - due to the internal suppression of Xuyang Sect, Lintian Peak only sent eight disciples, of which five disciples were in the junior group and three disciples were in the intermediate group.
The results were good. The first place in both the junior and intermediate groups was taken away by the disciples from Lintian Peak, and the remaining disciples also achieved good results.
It is precisely because of this that the Xuyang Sect, which lost many elite disciples during the last trip, was able to maintain the top three overall scores in this competition.
This not only slapped those old guys from Xuyang Sect hard in the face, but also made Dai Yanfeng very angry!
Originally, as the great elder of Heng Yue Sect, he and Jun Linxuan could not be said to have any deep hatred. At most, they were just from different sects, so they disliked each other.
However, Jun Linxuan's daughter Jun Xiaomo severely injured his Daiyanfeng's precious daughter!
In the second round of the junior group competition, Jun Xiaomo not only failed Dai Yue, making her embarrassed in front of everyone, but also severely injured Dai Yue.
What made Dai Yanfeng most angry was that when he took Dai Yue back to the inn to heal his injuries, he found that Dai Yue's meridians had also been severed by Jun Xiaomo!
After a cultivator's meridians are severed, it is not that they cannot be reconnected, but a lot of spiritual materials from heaven and earth need to be found to refine that special high-grade tendon-retaining pill.
Unfortunately, Dai Yanfeng's storage ring was missing a few medicines, and there were no ready-made tendon-replenishing pills. Therefore, he could only find a way to find it elsewhere as soon as possible.
During this period, Dai Yue's daily practice had to be suspended, and he had to endure the pain and suffering caused by the rupture of his meridians day and night.
Junlinxuan! You raised a “good” daughter! He asked why Jun Xiaomo would let his daughter go so easily and let his daughter admit defeat. He didn't expect that there was still a trick waiting for her!
Dai Yanfeng didn't even want to think about who tried to take Jun Xiaomo's life over and over again on the competition stage.
Clay figurines can also be somewhat bloody, not to mention that Jun Xiaomo has never considered himself a "clay figurine".
Because he wanted to tear Jun Xiaomo into pieces, Dai Yanfeng also hated everyone at Lintian Peak. He felt that the daughter taught by Jun Linxuan was so cruel and ruthless, and the disciples at Lintian Peak couldn't believe it. What a kind person.
At the beginning, when he learned that there were differences within the Xuyang Sect, and that the elders and sect leaders planned to unite to deal with Lintian Peak, he was very happy, and sincerely hoped that the methods of the people in the Xuyang Sect could be effective. certain effect.
Unexpectedly, Lintian Peak's participating quotas have been "shrunk" like this, and the disciples of Lintian Peak can still get so many points.
What would happen if all the disciples from Lintian Peak were sent to the scene? Can their Hengyuezong maintain their first place in the score? Moreover, the comprehensive performance of these disciples of Lintian Peak will also be seen by those in high-level sects. When choosing disciples in the future, will those high-level sects be inclined towards Lintian Peak
The veins on Dai Yanfeng's forehead twitched, and blazing fire appeared in his eyes.
He really hoped that he could knock everyone like Junlinxuan into the dust!
Just when he was immersed in his own thoughts, the candlelight suddenly jumped, a cold wind blew, and there was suddenly another person in his room.
"Who are you?!" Dai Yanfeng asked in shock and anger.
The person who came here had a pair of eagle eyes, and his sharp eyes seemed to be able to cut open Dai Yanfeng's brain directly and see what was going on in his mind, and his temperament was very elegant. If you ignore those eyes, this People can be described as "gentle and gentle".
The identity of the visitor must not be simple! A thought quickly flashed through Dai Yanfeng's mind.
As if to verify his idea, the visitor stood a little in the air, and a wisp of solid spiritual energy emerged from his fingertips. These spiritual energies twisted and merged in the air, and finally formed a word - Du.
Du? Could it be...
Dai Yanfeng looked at the visitor in surprise, not daring to confirm his thoughts.
The visitor didn't care how much shock he received in his heart, he picked up a clean tea cup on the table, poured himself a cup of tea, and slowly took a sip.
"Why, Great Elder of Heng Yue Sect, haven't you realized who I am?" The visitor tilted his head at Daiyan Peak, without any respect in his attitude.
Even so, Dai Yanfeng did not dare to have too many objections, because this person could easily condense spiritual energy into shape, which shows how terrifying his strength has reached.
At least, if there is a real fight, Dai Yanfeng will definitely not be able to defeat the opponent, and can only survive ten moves at the opponent's hands.
"Are you... from the Du family? The Du family, one of the eight hidden families in the world of cultivation?" Dai Yanfeng asked cautiously.
"Oh, I'm not too stupid at last. Otherwise, I would have to re-evaluate the necessity of this transaction."
"Deal?" Dai Yanfeng grasped the two most important words.
"Yes, deal." The person said slowly and unhurriedly.
The visitor is the head of the Du family. Now, the junior and intermediate group competitions of the intermediate sect qualifying competition have ended, and the senior group competition is also in the final stage, and the final winner will be determined soon.
Therefore, he should also tell the great elder of Hengyuezong about the team battle.
Yes, in the mind of the head of the Du family, his visit to Dai Yanfeng's room in the middle of the night could only be regarded as "informing" the other party at best, not an important transaction.
In his opinion, Dai Yanfeng will agree to this matter no matter what. Even if the other party is unwilling at first, he has plenty of means to force the other party to bow.
"I wonder what kind of deal this senior of the Du family wants to make with me?" Dai Yanfeng asked hurriedly and respectfully.
"Call me the head of the Du family." Du Ruiguang said calmly, but what he said hit Dai Yanfeng's heart hard again!
He is actually the head of the Du family! The emotion in Dai Yanfeng's heart can no longer be described as "shocked", but "frightened".
Just talking about the identity of the head of the Du family, he has surpassed Dai Yanfeng, the middle-level elder of the sect, by several blocks. Not to mention that the head of the Du family has unfathomable strength. He can easily crush Dai Yan to death with just one finger. peak.
Dai Yanfeng's tone became more cautious.
"I don't know what the 'transaction' that the Du family leader just mentioned means..."
"After your intermediate sect qualifying and advanced group matches are over, it will be a team battle, right? I want to replace all the disciples of your Heng Yue Sect with the disciples of our Du family."
"Huh?!" Dai Yanfeng was stunned and almost thought he was hearing something.
"What, you don't agree?" Du Guangrui narrowed his eyes, his cold gaze directed towards Dai Yanfeng.
"No... no, just... why..." Under Du Guangrui's stressful gaze, Dai Yanfeng's voice became smaller and smaller.
As the great elder, Dai Yanfeng has always been bossy in the Heng Yue Sect. He has never been so humble as a child. However, facing the pressure of Du Guangrui's status and strength, he had to do this to avoid offending the other party.
"Let's put it this way, we have a common enemy, so I want to borrow your identity as a disciple of Hengyue Sect to get rid of our enemies together. How about this, is this deal not bad?" Du Guangrui changed to a comfortable sitting position, Said slowly.
"Common enemy?" Dai Yanfeng's eyes lit up, "Is it the Xuyang Sect?"
"Ha, that's not true. The head of the Xuyang Sect is still our ally." Du Guangrui smiled contemptuously, secretly scorning the word "ally" in his heart.
In fact, neither Dai Yanfeng nor He Zhang was taken seriously by him. Therefore, rather than saying it was a "transaction", it was better to say that he used He Zhang and Dai Yanfeng to achieve his own goals.
In his opinion, Dai Yanfeng and He Zhang were not qualified to negotiate a "deal" with him, they were just two insignificant chess pieces.
Dai Yanfeng twisted his eyebrows, and after thinking for a moment, he finally realized something -
"Could it be that the 'common enemy' you mentioned is... Lintian Peak?"
"Not bad, I finally guessed it." Du Guangrui glanced at the cup in his hand and found that the tea was almost finished. He couldn't help but said coldly, these people in the intermediate sect are stupid, the clues are so obvious, find an answer You still have to think about it for so long.
But he didn't show it on his face and asked in a calm tone: "Why, is this deal not bad? The average strength of our Du clan must be several levels higher than that of your sect. We can kill those disciples of Lintian Peak in the competition. It’s also a piece of cake.”
Dai Yanfeng's heartbeat suddenly missed half a beat—
More than just good? ! It’s almost as if someone gives you a pillow when you doze off!
"But why don't you just... take action directly?" Dai Yanfeng asked carefully, considering the words.
"Does Elder Dai think with his toes? If we, the people from the Hidden World Family, could directly deal with you ants from the mid-level sect, you would have ceased to exist a long time ago." The head of the Du family sneered, his tone full of sarcasm. and disdain.
Although he was dissatisfied with the word "ant", Dai Yanfeng did not dare to show it at all. He could only nod his head and said: "Master Du is right."
Du Ruiguang was not interested in Dai Yanfeng's flattery. He took a sip of tea and said, "It seems that Elder Dai has agreed to this deal?"
"Well..." Dai Yanfeng is also a good person. He can see that Du Ruiguang is determined to win this transaction.
In this case, can he strive for more benefits while achieving a win-win situation? For example, let Du Ruiguang heal his daughter's injury...
Dai Yanfeng pretended to be hesitant, but after Du Ruiguang finished drinking a cup of tea, he suddenly slammed the tea cup on the table.
The tea cup was instantly crushed to powder by his powerful pressure, and the chair under Dai Yanfeng suddenly fell apart and fell to the ground in a helter-skelter manner.
"Elder Dai, I think you need to understand something. I am not 'discussing' this matter with you now, but 'informing' you about it... In other words, whether you agree or not, this matter It’s all done, there’s no going back on it. What’s more, your Hengyuezong won’t suffer at all, right? You’d better not be too careful, otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude!”
Dai Yanfeng hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowing and said: "Master Du is right, I agree, I agree..."
This was the first time in his life that he felt so embarrassed and humble.
Du Ruiguang nodded with satisfaction and flicked a few pieces of elixir into Dai Yanfeng's palm with one hand.
"This is..." Dai Yanfeng's hands trembled slightly.
"Your daughter's meridians were interrupted by Jun Xiaomo, right? These elixirs are some of the ingredients for refining the Tendon Pill. They may be useful to you. Just take it. It's also an extra bonus for me. A small reward.”
Dai Yanfeng's depression was instantly wiped away, and he said with great surprise: "Thank you, Master, thank you, Master Du..."
With these pills, he might be able to gather the spiritual herbs needed to refine the Tendon Pill in just a few months.
Where Dai Yanfeng didn't notice, the head of the Du family looked at Dai Yanfeng like a dog, with a sarcastic smile on his lips - look, people from these mid-level sects are so easily satisfied.
In their Du family, these elixirs are really everywhere, even in the storage rings of ordinary disciples.
It can be seen that Lintian Peak is almost at this level, and there is no need to treat the other party as an opponent.
It is too easy to kill those bugs in Lintian Peak. This time, it is equivalent to letting the disciples of the Du family practice their skills, and also giving Xu'er a chance to take revenge on the mutated snake-shaped grass.
The head of the Du family thought indifferently.
"By the way, Master Du Family, I wonder how you are going to replace all the disciples of our Heng Yue Sect with disciples of your Du Family? You know, our kind of ranking competition is strictly prohibited from cheating. Otherwise..."
"Come on, this is not the last time you've committed fraud." Du Guangrui sneered, "Besides, do you still doubt that our Du family is so weak that we can't even accomplish this small thing?"
"Don't dare, Patriarch, your Du family must be beyond the reach of small sects like us." Dai Yanfeng said quickly.
"Hmph." Du Guangrui snorted disdainfully and said, "Anyway, just wait. As long as you submit the list according to normal procedures, I will naturally have thousands of ways to manipulate the game."
After Du Guangrui finished speaking, the smile on his lips became even colder.
