Sun Lei, the steward of the first group, and Zhang Yuxun, the steward of the second group, were ranked in the top two before, and when they saw that the tenth group had a strong momentum, and the task was 5.5 million, they were startled, and wanted to know if there were still disciples in the group who had not returned and were completing the task. The former was worried that his first place would not be guaranteed, and the latter was curious about who did it, so he jointly found Wang Qingfu, the leader of the tenth group, to inquire.

Half a month ago, Wang Qingfu had just broken through the bottleneck and advanced to the eighth layer at the end of the Qi refining stage, and he had not long been out of the customs. Recently, he searched all the Qi refining terminal monks in the group, trying to find clues to see if he could find the monk who completed the 3 million task last time. At that time, Wang Xian was away and had not returned, he didn't know that Wang Xian had broken through to the end of Qi refining, and he didn't look for him. Naturally, Wang Qingfu did not find any clues.

This time, Wang Qingfu received news that the group had rushed into the top three a few days ago, and another 5.5 million tasks had been completed. Wang Qingfu had just finished investigating the matter of the 3 million tasks in the final stage of qi refining, and inferred from the time that these 5.5 million tasks could only be completed by disciples in the middle stage of qi refining. He asked Guo Yuan, and Guo Yuan didn't know who it was, so when he went to check, the monk had already returned, and since he didn't make it public, he couldn't find out.

When Wang Qingfu greeted Sun Lei and Zhang Yuxun with a smile, there was a subtle wry smile in the corner of his eyes. After he explained that many disciples at the end of Qi refining were at home, Sun Lei and Zhang Yuxun looked at each other, a little skeptical of his words, but it was not easy to say anything. In the end, the two came together and left suspiciously.

The two thought of the ninth group, which was ranked at the bottom recently, and at the same time, they also relied on 5.5 million tasks to rise several places in a row, and the task ranking got rid of the bottom, and it was likely that they jointly completed the task with the tenth group, so they found Ren Xing to investigate.

Sun Lei and Zhang Yuxun knew that in the last ten days and half a month, the stewards of each group, just like Wang Qingfu of the tenth group, had grasped the possible changes in the task by visiting all the disciples in the final stage of refining in the group, so as to have a clear idea of the task ranking. This is an open secret, and Ren Xing cannot deny it.

Ren Xing had no choice but to honestly say that the disciples at the end of this group of Qi refining had all been at home in the past half a month, and they were absolutely literate, and those who went with Bao Qing from the seventh group when they visited could testify.

The two of them left in disbelief, and also asked Bao Qing for verification, and seeing that what Bao Qing said was true, they wondered if it was really the ninth and tenth groups that jointly dispatched dozens of mid-stage Qi refining cultivators, relying on the number of people to win? But even so, with so many people dispatched, the deputy stewards of the two groups did not know the reason for the movement.

After Sun Lei and Zhang Yuxun, those who visited Wang Qingfu and Ren Xing were He Xiaohong, the steward of the fourth group, and Dai Haijun, the deputy steward, who left with a sneer after getting the same answer as Sun Lei.

The top three in the individual ranking were originally the same as the group rankings, namely Sun Lei in the first group, Zhang Yuxun in the second group, and He Xiaohong in the fourth group. Now He Xiaohong was squeezed out of the top three in the group and individual, and he was greatly annoyed. Dai Haijun was also very resentful when he saw that he had suddenly lost his qualifications to receive an interview and a reward.

He Xiaohong and the others saw that the ninth and tenth groups both emphasized that the monks at the end of Qi refining had been at home in the past few days, and none of them had just returned to the sect, so they were obviously fooling them together. Is the 5.5 million task so easy to complete? There must be some fraud in this matter.

What the two of them thought of, first, that these two groups had mobilized the power of the Xiuzhen family or small sect behind them, second, that they had hired a large number of loose cultivators outside to help complete the task, and third, that these two groups had joined forces to send a dozen or twenty Qi Refining Terminal Stage Cultivators to act together and win by numbers.

But the third one may not have a big surname, after all, the two know that there are not many people who are interested in completing the task, and it is unlikely that so many people will be mobilized for the task. Therefore, the two of them thought that someone had cheated this time, violating the rule that the bounty task must be completed and that it is not allowed to unite with monks outside the sect. Except, of course, from the forces sent by the bounty holders themselves.

So, the two found their uncle Bixiu and asked to strictly investigate the completion of the task by the tenth group, so as to prevent anyone from breaking the rules and cheating.

Bi Xiu is the chief steward of this batch of new disciples of South China Peak, and he is quite familiar with the situation of each group having made frequent moves in order to rank tasks recently. He didn't mean to intervene, but when he saw that this matter was a bit big, he attracted attention. He felt that the top three groups and individuals, the key controversy, was still in the tenth group.

In the past, every batch of new disciples who started to enter also implemented such a task ranking reward system. Nominally, when the top three on the task list are just determined, they will be reviewed and rewarded. In fact, if there is no objection, talk to the stewards of these groups a little, understand the situation, go through the motions, and it will be passed.

But now there is a lot of dissent, and I also feel that the tenth group is quite suspicious. And the matter involved He Xiaohong and Dai Haijun, who were once ranked in the top two and were summoned by Liu Jingjian, the master of South China Peak and the ancestor of the red robe. He felt that he couldn't go through the motions anymore and had to pay attention to it, so he sent a transmission note to the peak master.

He mentioned in his voice that the end of the three-year task list is approaching, and the fourth group raised objections, believing that the tenth group is suspected of violating the door rules and cheating, and the tenth group needs to be strictly investigated to calm down the dispute.

After Liu Jingjian, the master of South China Peak, received Bi Xiu's transmission, he recalled He Xiaohong and Dai Haijun who had been summoned, he did understand the strength of these two people, and felt that it would be a pity if they were squeezed down without explanation, so he sent out a transmission note to report the matter to Xiao Zizheng, the peak master of Huatian Peak, and implored Xiao Fengzhu to send someone to verify the situation.

Hua Tianfeng, Outer Gate Headquarters, Wind Hall. The hall master is Cai Xiongbo, who cultivated in the middle of Jindan. He is responsible for the collection and analysis of all the external intelligence of Hua Tianzong, and summarizes and excerpts the information worthy of attention, and submits it to the peak master of Huatian Peak, who decides how to deal with it. His disciples are all over the cultivation realm of the Xia Kingdom, and a small number of them are distributed in the surrounding neighboring countries, as well as other countries that trade with spiritual objects in the Xia Kingdom.

His disciples all have cultivation above the foundation building period, and secretly search for information on local cultivators. Within the sphere of influence of Huatian Sect for thousands of miles, they lurked and tracked in the vicinity of every town, market, Xiuzhen family, and sect where cultivators entered;

They hide in the shadows in various identities, because they have all kinds of hidden spells, earth escape, wood escape, water escape, hidden spirit, stealth, disguise, etc., they can quickly play all kinds of ordinary roles, Langzhong, Xiucai, officials, messengers, porters, merchants, etc., all of them are refined, all of them are like.

Of course, when performing these tasks, the compensation they received for the spirit stones they received was also amazing, and the sect had to ensure that their spirit stones were enough for their spiritual energy to be not inferior to Hua Tianfeng's cultivation.

Fengtang is only responsible for gathering information, not taking action, and does not expose himself and his safety. The operation is the responsibility of Yuntang and Diantang separately. The Cloud Hall is an action group composed of monks from the foundation building period of the outer gate, and is responsible for controlling or eliminating all other forces in the area of influence that all peak masters feel threatened.

According to the difficulty of the task, the deputy hall master or the monk of the foundation building period in the early stage of Jindan will lead the team, and if necessary, other peak monks will be dispatched to assist, and all the forces outside the sphere of influence that the peak master feels threatened will be controlled or eliminated.

If the official disciples of the outer sect voluntarily apply, after half a year of training, selection, and become a monk of the three halls of wind, cloud, and electricity, as long as the five-year task expires and the performance is excellent, they can be recommended by the hall master, and the peak master of Hua Tianfeng agrees, and is directly sent to the inner gate Tianyuan Peak to cultivate and become an inner disciple.

This is a shortcut to enter the inner door without passing the competition. Of course, it is not easy to come out, and there are very few disciples who are sent directly to the inner door every year. If the performance of the mission period is mediocre, you can also choose to leave the three halls after the expiration of the period and continue to cultivate in the cave of the official disciples of the outer sect of the four major peaks such as Huatian Peak.
