Chapter 1222: 【918】Your idea makes me feel guilty (Seeking monthly pass)

This time when the rankings were released, the Moro Empire took second place, making Yinsha Country grind its teeth in frustration.

“Are you clear about the rules of the ’Great Escape’ exam?” Li Yu asked.

Pei Jinye nodded: “Senior brother Yu has already explained it to me on the way here.”

Li Yu reminded him further: “For the pursuers, if too few people are captured, it’s not enough to rank in the top three. Also, during the two rotations, there’s a chance to be consistently prey. The third day of the exam is free time; be careful you’re not targeted, although we can also chase others.”

Li Yu elaborated more in detail.

Then, in an instant, it was Sunday.

Suddenly, in the evening, an explosion roared through the mountains, flames shot into the sky.

Angry shouts could be heard one after another.

Pei Jinye was also startled awake.

Urgent knocking came from outside, as Yu Sanxing shouted: “Junior Brother Pei, it’s me, are you alright?”

“I’m fine.”

Pei Jinye opened the door.

Yu Sanxing relaxed upon seeing him.

“What happened?” Pei Jinye asked.

He could see a fire rising into the sky in the distance.

Yu Sanxing spoke in a low voice: “Just now, Senior Brother Yuan was attacked. Several strong figures arrived, we still don’t know who they were… but they fled quickly.”

“Assassination?”

Pei Jinye’s heart sank: “Aren’t there defense formations on the mountain? Weren’t they detected?”

“That’s where the problem lies; a brother didn’t find any signs of the formation being breached… So there are two possibilities… either the enemy mingled in with our people, or they deciphered our formation. Either way, this behavior is despicable.”

“Is Senior Brother Yuan alright?”

“He’s been injured, and he’s worried that you might also be assassinated, so he sent me to check on you.”

Very quickly.

A group of people appeared.

Li Yu’s face showed urgency: “Senior brother has been poisoned, and though the poison has been resolved, his strength has been compromised, which will certainly affect tomorrow morning’s assessment.”

Everyone looked grim.

“It must have been the cultivators from other countries!”

“Declare war! Let’s go to war with them!”

“Back then we crushed them utterly, we can do it again now! Fight them!”

The crowd was in fervor.

Everyone was raging, ready to go to war.

No matter who the perpetrator was, they were ready to fight first and ask questions later!

Fortunately, Yuan Qichou showed up in the end, pale-faced, with a bandaged shoulder injury. He calmed everyone down and then appointed a junior named Lu Xun to substitute for him.

Early the next morning.

Outside the assessment area.

The cultivators from the Moro Empire almost wanted to devour the people from Yinsha Country.

But it seemed many people were unaware of what happened in the Moro Empire.

Sun Chitong, carefree as ever, shouted loudly: “Pei Jinye, was your Senior Brother Yuan really assassinated last night?”

Everyone looked over.

Pei Jinye also shouted back: “People from Yinsha Country say you did it, is that true?”

“Bullshit!”

“Bullshit!”

Almost simultaneously, Sun Chitong and Wan Tianhai cursed.

After speaking, Sun Chitong immediately glared at Wan Tianhai: “You damn Wan Tianhai, are you trying to frame us deliberately? The enmity between the Moro Empire and your country is the deepest, especially since your storage bag was stolen, you must be holding a grudge.”

“Bullshit! Don’t falsely accuse me!” Wan Tianhai saw that the group from the Moro Empire seemed ready to fight and, although he wasn’t afraid, he could not just stand by when being slandered.

Sun Chitong spat out: “Anyway, if it wasn’t you, then it’s your people… you and the people from Xijiang Country are the shadiest.”

“Sun Chitong, are you looking for death!” Lin Jingze from the Xijiang Country couldn’t hold back and yelled out too.

Sun Chitong ignored him, looking towards Nangong Si: “Be careful, I don’t know if that bunch of old devious ones will make another move.”

“Don’t worry about me.” Nangong Si couldn’t help saying: “If there’s trouble, you can go to him.”

“Do I, a formidable expert, need to seek his help?” Sun Chitong waved his hand and strode away impatiently.

Nangong Si was also aware of his temperament and didn’t say much, but looked towards Pei Jinye, their gazes meeting.

Pei Jinye nodded slightly and then stepped into the halo.

…

[Test content: The Great Escape. At the strike of eight in the evening, a murderous intent appears. The pursuers must snatch back the waist tokens, and the escapees must do everything possible to evade their pursuers.]

[Test rule: The minstrel’s swan song can bring a luck bonus]

…

As the bold characters slowly faded away.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

“Why is this the rule for the assessment this time?”

“Damn, it’s really tailored for me…”

“I advise some people not to say anything too pretentious when they chant, or else if they get struck by lightning, they deserve it…”

…

Yu Sanxing quickly leaned over to Pei Jinye and whispered, “You can think of something pretentious to say, no, that’s not right, something that fits the temperament of a minstrel.”

“This time Tian Gu from Yinsha Country, Wan Tianhai, Lin Qiu, and Mu Shiyuan are joining the battle, and Sun Chitong from Sky Wu Country has also brought his henchmen; Xijiang Country still has Lin Jingze leading, and there’s also Meng Jinchuan from Dongning Country along with the Liu Xiuhai and Liu Xishan brothers… Without Senior Brother Yuan here, our strength is greatly diminished. It would be best if we were the pursuers in the first wave…”

The moment his words ended.

A light ring appeared.

Pei Jinye saw a red glow appear beneath his feet.

“Chaotically!”

Th𝒾𝑠 ƈh𝕒pτꬲr ı𝐬 pՕ𝗌𝕥𝗲∂ bʏ Ƙ𝙞ƚᥱṉο𝓋𝗲𝙡

Yu Sanxing cursed out loud.

“We’re the escapees, we are the escapees,” said Lu Xun quickly. “We have to be careful from now on. Next, we’ll need Sister Li to scout with her Wandering Bug Spirit…”

Suddenly, Yu Sanxing said, “Brother Lu, Junior Brother Pei’s Formation can also be used for scouting.”

“Scouting?” Lu Xun obviously didn’t understand.

Yu Sanxing looked towards Pei Jinye and said with a smile, “I specially gathered some materials.”

“What kind of Formation can be used for scouting?” Li Yu was also curious.

However, soon after the Thousand-mile Eye Formation was set up, Lu Xun and Li Yu looked at each other in astonishment.

“There’s such a Formation?” Li Yu’s gaze was full of curiosity when she looked at Pei Jinye.

“But it can only observe within five kilometers…” said Pei Jinye.

Lu Xun fell into thought, “Five kilometers is indeed a bit short. So, Sister Li and Junior Brother Pei coordinate together. We have one minute before the pursuit begins, let’s get through it safely.”

…

Nightfall came quickly.

The howling wind poured into the small town.

Pei Jinye had spent the afternoon familiarizing himself with the area, but it was only the tip of the iceberg of the entire test zone.

The facilities of the small town were no different from the outside world, as if they had been abandoned years ago.

Pei Jinye did not find any descriptions related to time, but it was obvious that besides them, there were no traces of any original inhabitants… Save for the Sky Devils.

“Whoosh!”

An alert sounded, and Yu Sanxing’s face changed slightly: “Bad news, someone’s approaching. It’s people from Xijiang Country, hide… Although escapees can engage with pursuers, by nature their status is more suppressed…”

“If we fight and kill them, would that get rid of our troubles?” Pei Jinye’s question made Yu Sanxing suddenly freeze.

It was Lan Xingshu who spoke up: “Killing a Hunter would allow us to take their place, but doing so would let everyone know we killed the others…”

Pei Jinye neither agreed nor disagreed.

Suddenly, Sun Chitong’s voice came from a distance: “People from Xijiang Country, scram. This is my territory.”

“Sun Chitong, you’re courting death!”

“Lin Jingze, if you have the guts, fight me! Otherwise don’t mumble and grumble,” Sun Chitong said with disdain.

People from Xijiang Country were furious.

But Lin Jingze was calm: “Let’s go, completing the mission is important. Sun Chitong, we’ll settle our score slowly.”

After the people from Xijiang Country left.

Sun Chitong looked playfully in the direction of Pei Jinye’s group, then yawned and said, “Let’s go.”

“Boss, aren’t we going to search?”

“Search what? Better to go catch those guys than to waste time here.”
