Chapter 187 The penultimate
Dongsheng Station is the only gateway to the outside world.
Some of the original mountain ravines have been flattened inch by inch by spells.
A huge open space was formed.
There were monks coming and going from time to time.
Today is another time when the Tianmen Sect is distributing tasks. Many monks have already rushed here after receiving the instructions.
Qi refining realm monks accounted for the vast majority.
And Wang Ba also restrained his breath and stayed in it.
He received a message in his Tianmen Order, asking him to arrive here at a specific time.
After that, the monks from the 'Xuanji Dao' assigned manpower to him.
Of course he didn't dare to violate it.
Surround yourself with people.
Because he deliberately restrained his aura, the surrounding Qi Refining Realm monks were completely unaware that he was a Foundation Establishment monk.
The conversation between the monks did not go behind his back.
"...I don't know which true cultivator I will be assigned to this time. I hope I can be assigned to a more powerful one."
A cultivator said with anticipation and nervousness.
"I heard that the guy from Tu Sheng Dao will also participate this time. It would be great if he can be assigned to his subordinates." "
Are you talking about Zhu Zi Ji Zhu Zhen Xiu? He is among the top five in the combat power list, and his record is brilliant. But the places under his command have probably been taken up by the monks in the sect, right?"
The monk on the side interjected.
However, some monks couldn't help but shook their heads and laughed when they heard
this: "Haha, fellow Taoist, what you said is wrong. Strong cultivation and strength do not mean that it is really safe to follow him. It should be noted that this Tu Sheng Dao is about ignoring. After death, even Zhu Zhenxiu will fall into death, let alone us. Haven't you seen that the number of monks in Zhu Zhenxiu's team is pitifully small every time he comes back?" "Yes, I think so too, fellow
Taoist and his Instead of looking at the combat power list, we might as well look at the 'survival list', that list is relevant to us."
Another monk couldn't help but point out.
The monks each shared the foundation-building monks they were optimistic about and the people they were not optimistic about.
At this time, a voice suddenly sounded and said politely:
"Um, do you have a list? Can you also take a look at it?"
Several people immediately looked towards the source of the voice, and saw a person who didn't look like someone. Surprisingly, but with a sense of peace between his brows, the monk was smiling at everyone.
He added extremely politely:
"If you need spiritual stones in exchange, I'm willing to give them."
Suddenly, a monk's heart moved and he was about to speak.
One of the heroic monks had already waved his hand:
"It's just some public information. We are all monks from the left. Why do we need to exchange spiritual stones for it?"
After saying that, he took out a scroll from the storage bag and threw it away. Gave it to the other party.
The other party thanked me repeatedly and asked for his name.
Hearing this, the heroic monk burst into laughter and said: "What can I do if I tell you my name... Anyway, our surname is Hua, and our name is a strong character. If you are unable to support yourself alone, you can join hands with us." The other party smiled slightly
, After handing over, he returned to the crowd.
Hua Meng didn't care, just thinking that the monk had stage fright, and then started chatting with others.
Wang Ba, who returned to the crowd, opened the scroll and immediately saw two so-called lists filled with various names.
One is the combat power list, and the other is the survival list.
Wang Yan listened in the crowd for a while, and he roughly understood the origin of these two lists.
The so-called list is actually just a list compiled privately by the low-level Qi Refining monks based on the performance of the Foundation Establishment True Cultivators in these days.
For no other reason than to survive.
The former roughly records the strength and performance of the foundation-building cultivators.
The Qi Refining Realm monks can use this list to determine what kind of person the Foundation Establishment monk they are following is.
If you are strong, you will be a little more confident and bold, and obey its orders with peace of mind.
But if the strength is extremely weak, then it is best to keep a guard up and be ready to retreat at any time.
But later, these low-level monks discovered that the strength of their cultivation might have something to do with whether they, the Qi Refining Realm monks, could come back alive, but it didn't have much to do with it.
Some people are so incredibly strong that the team they lead almost always dies.
Just like Tu Shengdao's Zhu Ziji, he is a clear example.
He came back safe and sound every time, but the monks who followed him died almost every time.
Wang Hao took a look and saw that Zhu Ziji was ranked fifth on the combat power list, while Bai Yu, who Wang Hao was quite familiar with, was only ranked ninth.
However, the other party was ranked last on another survival list.
The survival rate of the monks who followed him was less than 10%.
In other words, every time twenty people go out with Zhu Ziji, no more than two will come back.
This is also an important reason why the low-level Qi Refining monks listed on the survival list.
The combat strength list can only reflect the monk's personal strength.
And relying on the survival list, the monks can roughly know whether this person is reliable or not.
Wang Hao looked at it for a while and found that his name was not on the survivor list, but he saw himself on the combat power list.
Since there is no record of any shots being taken, and the time it takes to break through and build a foundation is very short, based on these factors, the people who ranked him ranked him fifth from the bottom.
Number 386.
Wang Yan didn't care at all, but what surprised him was that there were nearly 400 foundation-building monks in the entire Tianmen Sect.
This number is really astonishing, almost more than the number of foundation-building monks on the second floor of Linglong Ghost City.
However, considering that Tianmen Sect spans five countries, it is not wrong to regard it as a weaker country.
He immediately wrote down the names at the top of both lists.
soon.
The open space was filled with people.
After a while, several foundation-building monks dressed in red and black robes fell from the sky. At the same time, a small mound quickly rose up on the ground. Several people landed on it, and at the same time, the sound resounded throughout the entire open space.
"Everyone, be quiet!"
Before he finished speaking, the open space suddenly became extremely quiet.
No matter whether they are Qi refining monks or foundation-building monks, whether they are cultivators or cultivators, they all stay where they are.
The foundation-building monks on the mound nodded with satisfaction when they saw this, and the leader said: "I am Yue Xiang of the Mysterious Way. You all should know me, so I won't introduce you. I will start assigning tasks to you. Manpower."
No one said anything.
Yue Xiang didn't care, and then he took out a special piece of paper, activated his magic power, and his voice rang out in the open space:
"Jiang Yi, you are responsible for leading Zhang En, Lu Shaofeng... these twenty people."
A young woman smiled cleverly. I walked to the mound expectantly, with every frown and frown between my brows expressing amorous feelings.
However, Wang Ba couldn't help but squint his eyes.
This Jiang Yi ranks fifty-fifth on the combat power list and is at the top of the list. According to the list, this person is already in the middle stage of foundation building.
But that's not why Wang Hao cares.
What really caught Wang Yan's attention was the other party's identity.
Xuannv said, male cultivator.
If he remembered correctly, this Jiang Yi was the master of Lin Yu, Wang Ba's former acquaintance in the Dongsheng Sect.
Not long after Lin Yu established the foundation, he was assimilated by this person.
Looking at this look now, it is obvious that he has digested Lin Yu and started to assimilate another person.
Silently write down the aura on the other person's body.
soon.
Yue Xiang of Xuanji Dao started reading again.
"Bo Xi, you lead..."
"Ma Shuntian, you..."
"Zhu Ziji, you lead..."
Upon hearing the name Zhu Ziji, the people around them suddenly became excited and looked at Tuqiu.
Wang Yan couldn't help but look at it carefully.
Soon I saw a thin monk walking slowly to the mound.
Zhu Ziji looked as ordinary as Wang Ba, but his whole person seemed to be soaked in a sea of blood. Even if he just touched it with his eyes, Wang Ba seemed to smell a pungent smell of blood!
Facing this person, even Yue Xiang was much more polite.
Soon, Yue Xiang arranged manpower for some foundation-building monks.
Wang Ba listened to the names and matched the looks of these people with the names on the list one by one.
In the meantime, Wang Yan also heard the name of an acquaintance, Bao Chao.
The other party was assigned to a monk who was in the middle stage of foundation building.
It actually made Wang Yan slightly regretful.
Not long after, Wang Yan was finally called.
"Wang Hao, lead Yan Qi and Hua Meng..."
Wang Hao walked to the mound and was stunned when he heard Hua Meng's name, and then he couldn't help laughing.
What a coincidence.
Hua Meng in the crowd couldn't help but rub his eyes after seeing Wang Yan walking up.
A ghostly look on his face.
Thinking that I didn't seem to be disrespectful to Wang Yan just now, I felt a little relieved.
However, he still walked behind Wang Yan with great anxiety.
It wasn't until he saw Wang Ba's smile that he felt more relaxed.
But then he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
Because he quickly remembered Wang Yan's ranking on the combat power list.
Fifth from the bottom!
"This is troublesome."
Hua Meng complained secretly.
What the low-level monks fear most is the unknown situation.
Wang Yan does not have any ranking on the survival list, which means that it is impossible to judge his acting style from the survival rate.
And the only combat power list that can be seen does not have any record of his shots.
However, judging from the time when he became a foundation-building monk, it is estimated that the other party has also undergone transformation in terms of realm and mana. Compared with the tenth level of Qi Refining, there is not much difference in other aspects.
This is equivalent to saying that their team can almost be regarded as having no foundation-building monks.
In this situation, it is simply that the unlucky mother has opened the door for the unlucky one. Unlucky as hell!
However, what made Hua Meng a little bit relieved was that Yue Xiang of Xuanji Dao also seemed to have noticed this. In order to ensure the completion of the task, he transferred another monk at the tenth level of Qi Refining.
"Wanli Wanli, you follow this Wang Zhenxiu."
"...Yes!"
Although the face of this monk at the tenth level of Qi Refining was obviously full of dissatisfaction, in awe of the reputation of the foundation-building monk, he still reluctantly Walked behind Wang Yan.
Soon, all twenty monks were in place.
Wang Hao also got the specific information of the mission from Yue Xiang, as well as all the materials needed to set up the formation.
Glancing at the monks in front of him who had their own thoughts, but almost all of whom had hidden dissatisfaction in their eyes, Wang Hao secretly shook his head.
Although I understand the thoughts of these monks, if this is the case, it may not be easy to complete the task.
In particular, Luolan Mountain is not close to the Dongsheng Station, and everyone needs to pass through an area occupied by Incense Tao monks.
But now that everyone is meeting for the first time, he has no better way to unite them in a short period of time.
We can only take one step at a time.
He then led everyone in the open space, found a deserted place, and explained the mission objectives and specific circumstances.
They, the foundation-building monks, knew their mission from the beginning, but the Qi-refining monks could only learn about it from the foundation-building monks.
Hearing that the goal of this trip actually required crossing an area occupied by incense monks, the faces of the monks suddenly changed.
Among the crowd, a monk with gray beard and hair who looked quite honest and kind suddenly said:
"This...Senior Wang, why don't you go to Senior Yue and ask if you can change it? I'm afraid this task is too difficult for us. It's indeed a bit difficult."
"Yes, yes, Senior Wang, let's change it. This is really too difficult, we can't finish it at all."
Someone took the lead, and others immediately followed.
Wang Ba's face suddenly darkened, and with a hint of coldness in his eyes, he glanced at the people who spoke.
Especially the old monk who spoke first.
These people seem to be complaining, but in fact they have evil intentions.
Now is wartime. Since the higher-ups have assigned a mission, they can only execute it. If you dare to question, I'm afraid Yue Xiang will immediately take him down as a warning to others.
If he didn't still need these people's help in setting up the formation, he would have killed these people now.
When several people saw this, their hearts suddenly became cold and they lowered their heads, not daring to say anything more.
Wang Bao glanced at everyone with a cold gaze, and said coldly:
"Don't mention the change of mission again. If anyone mentions it again, don't blame me for not giving face." You
Wanli, the only tenth-level Qi Refining monk here, had a look on his face. , a flash of disapproval suddenly flashed through.
However, he did not dare to show any disrespect while still inside the station.
Under Wang Ba's pressure, the team reluctantly got together and discussed the route and how to deal with the incense road.
But most of the monks didn't say a word, obviously not convinced by Wang Ba.
Hua Meng, who was barely an acquaintance of Wang Yan, was quite cooperative and gave Wang Yan a lot of suggestions.
But the main meaning is also very simple, try to hide the traces as much as possible, and try not to fight the Incense Tao monks if possible.
The first priority is to set up formations and return safely.
Obviously, Hua Meng is not optimistic about this trip because of Wang Yan's position on the combat power list.
It is estimated that what everyone is thinking the most is how to escape immediately when encountering the Incense Tao monks.
Wang Yan quite agreed with Hua Meng's suggestion.
Announce it immediately and proceed according to Hua Meng's method.
This move made the monk who was not very optimistic about Wang Yan gain some approval.
"Although he is a little weak in strength, I can listen to others' advice and it is not hopeless." "
Well, I guess this is the only advantage he has."
Several monks secretly transmitted messages.
Although Wang Yan was not clear about the secret discussions among the monks below, he was also aware of it.
But he actually didn't care too much.
At the speed of a second-level high-grade flying magic weapon, among foundation-building monks, unless the opponent also has a similar flying magic weapon, it would be difficult to catch up with him.
It's nothing more than a mission failure.
Although a lot of merit points will be deducted if the mission fails.
But he doesn't care.
Anyway, he currently does not have the exchange authority to open the Tianmen Sect's treasure house, so even if the merit points are deducted, it will not be a big loss for him.
Besides, merit points are nothing compared to lives.
The only trouble is that even if the task fails, there will still be new tasks assigned in the future, and there is no way to escape.
You can't fail every time, right?
Thinking of this, Wang Yan could only helplessly lead the monks to leave the Dongsheng Station.
After that, he followed Hua Meng's method and flew to the southeast all the way to the ground.
Correcting an error. The flying magic weapon used by Wang Yan is a second-level high-grade weapon instead of a top-grade one. I remembered it wrong before.
