“Very good, this truly lives up to our Ziyan Lineage.” Yuan Feng True Lord continued, “Everyone knows about the Law Enforcement Hall’s Bixi Squad. After that turmoil, the Sect Leader believes the Bixi Squad lacks unified command and its influence is insufficient.
Therefore, it has been decided that the leadership of the Bixi Squad will be determined between our Ziyan Lineage and the Dragon Yang Lineage. The victor will become the new leader of the Bixi Squad. From now on, when facing the Han Ming Lineage, we will no longer need to fear them; instead, we will make them fear us.”
“What do you say, should we strive for this Bixi Squad?”
“Yes!” The personal Disciples shouted loudly, as if heaven and earth resonated.
The Ziyan Lineage cultivates the path of masculinity, like the Great Sun Golden Crow and the Sword of Thunder; while the Han Ming Lineage cultivates the path of ice, freezing all things.
Beginners from the two factions, due to differences in their cultivation methods, one prefers heat, the other cold, making them incompatible.
In recent years, due to the position of Han Ming Peak’s Disciples in the Law Enforcement Hall, the Ziyan Lineage has often been at a disadvantage in disputes. Now that there is an opportunity to counterattack, who wouldn't want to seize it?
“Very good, the Mystic Realm damaged by the Bixi Squad has been repaired, and most of the escaped demonic beasts have been captured back.
However, those demonic beasts stained with the blood of our Sect’s Disciples no longer have a reason to live.
Therefore, the Sect Leader has decided to open this Mystic Realm as a trial ground, allowing the personal Disciples of the Ziyan and Dragon Yang Lineages to enter and slay demonic beasts. The one with the highest points will gain control of the Bixi Squad. Those who perform exceptionally well can directly join the Bixi Squad.”
Seeing everyone’s enthusiasm, Yuan Feng True Lord nodded with satisfaction.
At this moment, Qing Feng frowned slightly, thinking to himself, is the Sect Leader solving the problem in this way when he couldn’t solve it otherwise?
Why does he have a bad premonition?
“Given that Bixi has always been helpful and particularly sympathetic to the weak, in this competition, the descendants of the martyrs will receive double the points of ordinary Disciples if they can slay demonic beasts.
Moreover, they can fight alongside their demonic beasts, and the points gained from the demonic beasts killing enemies will also be counted towards their master.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the gazes of most Disciples from Chen Ming Peak and other peaks focused on Qing Feng.
He was the disgrace of Chen Ming Peak, a laughingstock among the personal Disciples. As a member of the Purple Rock faction, he was widely known because of the previous Thousand Lake World incident.
Furthermore, among so many people, he was the only one who came riding a dog, making him exceptionally distinctive. It was impossible for him not to attract attention.
Qing Feng was also puzzled, were these rules tailor-made for him? Or was someone deliberately targeting him?
…
On Heaven Sword Peak, Mu Zhengting played the erhu with a smile.
“The Sect Leader has decided that the secret realm of the Law Enforcement Hall is now called the Bixi Realm.”
“The Sect has hidden a large number of treasures in this place, including human-level spells and treasured swords, waiting for you to acquire them.”
“As long as you slay demonic beasts, you will earn points. These points can be exchanged for an equivalent amount of Purple Rock faction points, which can be used to exchange for treasures, secret manuals, or even true transmission spells.”
“The opportunity is at hand, and glory belongs to the brave.”
“All personal Disciples of the Purple Rock faction should bravely move forward and seize this opportunity.”
…
As Yuan Feng True Lord’s words fell, the personal Disciples of the seven lineages were all excited. For them, this was a battle with no losses.
If they won, they would become a member of the Bixi Squad; if they lost, they would still get points.
The Purple Rock faction’s points were the hardest currency; with enough points, one could almost exchange for anything desired. When everyone was almost done being excited, Yuan Feng True Lord signaled that they could disperse.
Qing Feng mounted his Great Mysterious Dog and began to consider his next course of action.
He wondered who came up with this method; according to the current rules, once he stepped into the Bixi Realm, he would become the center of attention, and the Dragon Yang Lineage would target him first.
Standing out under the watchful eyes of everyone, he had the opportunity to directly join the Bixi Squad and acquire valuable resources. But none of this was what Qing Feng wanted.
Just as he was troubled and about to leave, Qin Heng called out to him and, together with Men Shao and Qin Yue, entered the main hall of Purple Rock.
He looked around and realized that the Chiefs of the seven peaks and their elite Disciples were all present, which made Qing Feng somewhat enlightened.
This was a closed-door meeting after a large assembly, discussing truly important matters.
Normally, he would not be qualified to attend such a meeting, but this time he was unexpectedly invited. If he had a choice, he would rather not come.
As numerous elite Disciples arrived, Third Elder Yuan, who was responsible for diplomatic affairs in Ziyan Peak, stepped forward and said, “The Chief has already told you about the Bixi Realm. This matter is of great importance, so there is no need for me to repeat it.
The Sect Leader organized this Mystic Realm trial to establish a new order for the Beast Taming Sect’s enforcement.
The newly formed Bixi Squad will supervise Han Ming Peak, and given the losses caused by Han Ming Peak’s past arrogance, this is an opportunity for our Ziyan Lineage to turn the tables.”
“The fifteen of you are the most highly cultivated or most talented individuals among my generation of Disciples.”
Third Elder Yuan scanned the Disciples below the platform, and when his gaze fell on Qing Feng, his tone paused slightly before he continued:
“This experience in the Bixi Realm is an extremely important opportunity for you. There are a large number of treasures inside: one earth-level divine ability inheritance, two human-level magic treasures, three human-level divine ability inheritances, sixty ninth-grade magical artifacts, ninety eighth-grade magical artifacts…”
Upon hearing this, the Disciples below showed excited expressions. Although they had heard there were many magic treasures inside, they did not expect such a large number of rare items.
Even though they were all personal Disciples, most of them had no more than two ninth-grade magical artifacts, and human-level magic treasures were even rarer, with most having only one, which was their destined magic sword received from the Sword Mound after breaking through to the Golden Core stage.
As for divine abilities, they were extremely precious, not only for attack but also for challenging those of higher cultivation levels; healing divine abilities could even bring the dead back to life.
All the Disciples present possessed at least one human-level divine ability, but not everyone had an earth-level divine ability.
Moreover, no one would complain about having too many means; at critical moments, these could all be life-saving straws.
“However, half of these treasures are provided by our Ziyan Lineage ourselves, and were originally intended for you.
But if you fail, these things will fall into the hands of the Dragon Yang Lineage,” Third Elder Yuan added.
These words made the expressions of the Disciples below become sharp. Although no one spoke, most of their auras became sharper, like unsheathed keen swords.
Qing Feng secretly praised, as expected of someone specializing in diplomatic affairs; with just a few words, he tightly linked the fate of the Ziyan Lineage with personal interests.
Losing not only meant the failure of the Ziyan Lineage but also the loss of what originally belonged to them.
For sword cultivators, it is natural to protect their own things, let alone watch their things be taken away by others.
Such a result would mean losing both face and dignity.
Watching the reactions of the Disciples below, Third Elder Yuan was very satisfied and said again, “And if you win, then the half of the treasures that originally belonged to the Dragon Yang Lineage will be yours.”
