Although Zhou Yiyang and Wan Sha both said in unison that they invited Zhao Shi to join because Zhao Shi had this strength, and denied that it was to take care of Zhao Shi, he knew very well in his heart that inviting himself was more or less related and affectionate.

Zhao Shi and Zhou Yiyang are both masters, and this relationship is already very unusual, and Zhou Yiyang, as a senior brother, must take care of his junior brother. Wan Sha, the senior sister who led Zhao Shi into the Jiyang Gate, although she did it for a purpose, but based on this, Zhao Shi's relationship with her must be closer than others.

The most important point is that Zhao Shi, Zhou Yiyang and Wan Sha all know each other, and they all have a good relationship, plus Zhao Shi's own strength is not too bad, it is definitely more appropriate to invite Zhao Shi than to invite some people who only know each other.

"Let's go, what are you doing so politely. Zhou Yiyang looked at Zhao Shi with a serious look on his face and said with a smile.

"Hehe~" Zhao Shi scratched the back of his head and laughed.

The three of them walked forward to ring ten. Hundreds of people have gathered here, some talking and laughing, others with solemn faces.

After a while, an old man walked up to the ring and said to everyone: "Junior brothers and sisters, I am the chief inspector of this pennant battle, and the fifty inspectors behind me will work with me to maintain the normal progress of this competition. If any of you are found to be cheating or deliberately harming your fellow disciples, you will be disqualified from the competition, punished in the "Fishy Wind Cave", and if you are more serious, you will directly abolish the spiritual root and expel you from the Extreme Yang Gate. ”

The old man's tone was very calm, but everyone couldn't help but shudder when they heard it, and the words "Bloody Wind Cave" and the abolition of the spiritual root echoed in everyone's minds for a long time.

"What kind of place is that?" asked a person in front of Zhao Shi in a curious whisper.

"You don't even know that?"

"This senior brother, the senior brother really hasn't heard of it, and I ask the senior brother to teach me. The man bowed his hand and said respectfully.

"This bloody wind cave, I heard that there is a kind of wind with a bloody smell blowing all year round, and mortals stay there for a month, their skin festers, and finally turns into a pool of flesh and blood. Although we immortal cultivators do not have to worry about our lives when we stay inside, our cultivation will definitely drop greatly, and our physical bodies will be greatly damaged. Stay in it for a few years, and don't think about any more improvement in this life. The people here are all heinous and guilty of the great precepts in the door. ”

When this person heard this, his whole face changed greatly, and the muscles on his face twitched involuntarily, and he seemed to be frightened.

Zhao Shi frowned when he heard this, his face changed slightly, and he was also quite afraid of this fishy wind cave.

"This time, the intensity of supervision has been strengthened a lot, and the number of supervision envoys has increased to 50. The person behind Zhao Shi's right hand whispered to a few companions beside him.

"The punishment has also been increased, and the heavy ones will abolish the spiritual root, so there should be no more of what happened last time. ”

"Hmph、、、 that's not necessarily, in order to be able to advance to the competition, obtain greater benefits, and remove the obstacles to the next competition. Three hundred test takers, fifty inspectors, this little risk is nothing compared to the very tempting benefits. ”

"Is it a reward for Dabi?"

"Hmph、、、 those who have cultivated above the middle stage of the spiritual liquid, except for the rewards of the top ten, how can they look at the rest of the rewards. The income of each hall in the door, the top 100 can get a piece of the pie, which is a very tempting benefit. ”

"If each temple is not controlled by the 'Ten Disciples', how can they get such benefits?"

"The prestige of the 'Ten Disciples' is indeed well-known, and no one dares to touch their interests, but in addition to the 'Ten Disciples', there are still ninety of the top 100 people, and if they gather together, the 'Ten Disciples' will be afraid of three points. ”

"Understood, that's why the 'Ten Disciples' will share a part of their interests in order to prevent this from happening. ”

"That's right, the higher the ranking, the more the top ten disciples will compete for, and the more benefits will naturally be given to him. ”

"I see, it's a win-win situation. Those who are at the top of the rankings have gained more benefits, and those who have absorbed these top ten disciples, their positions will be more stable, and no one can shake them. ”

"That's right, Senior Brother Zhu, your brain is spinning very fast. ”

"Thank you, Senior Brother Yang, for your compliment. Senior brother has now reached the middle stage of spiritual liquid, and he must have entered the top 100 and won nine out of ten, and the senior brother will have to thank the senior brother for a lot of care in the future. Senior Brother Zhu said with a smile and began to pat Senior Brother Yang's ass.

"Yes, yes, Senior Brother Yang, Senior Brother has always been saddled up for Senior Brother, Senior Brother can't forget Senior Brother. As long as the senior brother says a word about everything, I will not give up the junior brother. A person next to him hurriedly followed Senior Brother Zhu's words and said, and the sycophants he slapped were even louder.

"Haha、、、 you have all followed me for so many years, how could I forget you when I entered the top 100, and I will definitely not treat you badly. Senior Brother Yang was in a good mood and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Yang. Senior Brother Zhu thanked him in unison.

Zhao Shi heard the conversation of these people, and had a deeper understanding of interests, except for mercenary, Zhao Shi couldn't think of any words to describe these people.

"Is it a great dislike for these people?" the demon asked.

"Well, but now that I'm slowly getting used to it, I think they're very realistic, and it's much better than some sanctimonious people who say one thing and do another. Zhao Shi said very calmly, at this time, he no longer had the same hatred for these people as before.

"Coveting profit is not a bad thing in itself, but it is necessary to take it in a proper way, and not to do things that hurt nature and reason. Zhao Shi added another sentence and said.

"What you said is true, but 、、、 hey~ you won't deeply appreciate it if you don't suffer a loss. The demon wanted to say something more, but finally sighed and didn't continue.

After the old man finished his ugly words, he paused and continued: "This pennant competition is different from previous years, and the rules have changed. Each participant has a pennant, but only one side of the pennant is embroidered with a crane pattern, and the other side is blank. There is also a pennant with a crane pattern embroidered on both sides. There are a total of 300 such pennants, and the locations and numbers of the distribution are as follows: 45 on the Burning Cloud Peak, 75 on the Earth and Stone Valley, 30 on the Shazhou Tomb, 75 on the Cracked Spring Peak, and 75 on the tear-stained bamboo forest. Each participant must take two or more pennants embroidered with cranes on one side, and one pennant embroidered with cranes on both sides to come here and hand them over to us to pass this round of competition. The top 100 will advance to the next round of competition, and the 100 outsiders will be considered elimination. ”
