Everyone was stunned after hearing this. They only came here to participate in the competition, but never thought that something like this would happen.

Although they have impressive strength, they are still just foundation-building cultivators. If the other party sends Nascent Soul cultivators to hunt them down, they will have no chance of escaping.

Sanlang Shen retorted: "Senior, what you said is a bit serious. After all, those candidates are all from the Song family. How could they easily use knives and guns? Moreover, would the former clan leader just sit back and watch and allow such things to happen?"

Wanying smiled slightly and explained, "It's no wonder that Fellow Daoist Shen doesn't understand. These candidates are indeed descendants of our Song family's ancestors, but they are only his great-grandchildren. As for emotions, there are naturally some, but they are definitely not too deep.

Moreover, immortal cultivators have always been pure-hearted and have few desires, and the ancestor has even reached the state of transformation, so his state of mind is naturally far beyond that of ordinary people. Therefore, the ancestor cares more about whether the successor has enough ability to manage the entire family affairs. Because of this, he chose to turn a blind eye to those private struggles. "

Although no one spoke, they nodded secretly in their hearts. From what Wanying said, there must be some overt or covert struggles among the candidates from the Song family.

Wanying paused for a moment and then continued, "In fact, these things were not suitable to be told to you, but you are all family now, and this is not a particularly important secret, so it is okay to tell it.

In short, I hope you can stay here for the next six months. I do this for your personal safety, and also because it is an order personally issued by the Second Miss, so I hope you can follow my orders."

At this moment, Bai Bing, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke:

"Senior Wanying, in my opinion, the Red Horse Merchant Alliance may not be an absolutely safe place. After all, there are many people here, and who can guarantee that there are no spies for other candidates? We are in the open, but the enemy is in the dark. Moreover, if the enemy secretly sends assassins to kill us all, wouldn't that be exactly what they want?"

Wanying turned to look at Bai Bing, a hint of admiration flashed in her eyes, and then she said:

"What Fellow Daoist Bai said makes a lot of sense, but Second Miss has already made arrangements for this. A few days ago, four Nascent Soul cultivators came here to guard the place. Their mission is to ensure the safety of all the fellow Daoists. Including myself, there are a total of five Nascent Soul cultivators here, so please rest assured."

I didn't expect that the Chima Merchant Alliance actually has such a large number of Nascent Soul cultivators. There are as many as five under the Second Miss alone, and according to Wanying, this seems to be only a part of her many subordinates.

After realizing this, Chu Ci couldn't help but ask: "May I ask what level of cultivation the second young lady you mentioned is?"

"The second young lady has already reached the Nascent Soul stage. Not only that, all the candidates participating in the competition have reached this stage. Decades ago, when the ancestor was in seclusion, he had stated that the next clan leader must meet three conditions to be qualified. The first is that the cultivation must reach the Nascent Soul stage, the second is that the age cannot exceed 300 years old, and the third is that he must have the ability to lead the entire family. Anyone with the surname Song who meets the above three criteria can participate in the election."

"I heard that there are only four people who meet these conditions?" This time it was Shen Sanlang who spoke.

Wanying nodded slightly: "Indeed, these four people are the third young master who is in charge of the affairs of the Internal Affairs Hall, the fifth young master who is devoted to cultivation, the eldest young lady who manages the six northern countries, and the second young lady who manages the four southern countries. Among the four, the second young lady is the youngest and entered the perfect state the latest.

Everyone is aware of the general situation now. I will personally take you to your residence in a moment. I also ask all Taoists to concentrate on cultivation in the next six months. If you need anything, please feel free to tell me.

But there is one thing I must remind you all. You are only one step away from forming a golden elixir. Do not choose to break through the bottleneck of cultivation at this time. I don’t need to explain the reason. "

Hearing this, everyone nodded. For them, entering the Jindan stage was a sure thing, so why rush at this moment? If they lost their qualification for the competition due to impatience, it would be a loss.

At this moment, Leng Qingqiu, who had been standing aside, suddenly spoke:

"Since this competition only requires three people to participate, may I ask why you, senior, want me to stay here?"

Wanying turned to look at Leng Qingqiu and said slowly, "I have a general idea of ​​Friend Leng's strength through the Shadow-Cai Stone just now. In my opinion, although you failed to defeat Friend Chu, you should be the strongest one compared to the others. That's why I hope to keep you here in case of emergency. What do you think?"

If you are willing to stay, I will pay half of all the items I promised you before. If the time comes when I need you to help, I will pay the full amount. "

Leng Qingqiu was stunned. She didn't expect there would be such a good thing. As long as she stayed here for half a year, she could get half of the items even without doing anything herself. She agreed immediately.

However, what Wanying said made Chu Ci frown.

Wanying glanced at the four people in front of her: "If you don't have any other questions, then we will set off immediately."

"May I ask what exactly you meant by 'necessary and necessary for emergencies'? Please explain clearly."

Shen Sanlang's question was exactly what Chu Ci was thinking. He could tell that Wanying seemed worried that they would encounter some kind of accident.

Wanying naturally heard the deep meaning in Sanlang Shen's words, so she said, "Fellow Daoists, rest assured. In addition to us Yuanying cultivators, there is also a Golden Crow formation, so you are absolutely safe here. But from my personal standpoint, the interests of the Second Miss must be put first in everything, and that is why I let Fellow Daoist Leng stay here."

Although Wanying explained it this way, everyone knew that staying would still involve certain risks.

"Do you have any other questions, fellow Taoists?" Wanying asked again. After waiting for a while and seeing that no one spoke, she spoke again: "In that case, please follow me."

After she finished speaking, she summoned a small flying boat. The entire boat was emerald green and shining brightly, which was quite consistent with Wanying's temperament.

"Please come in, fellow Taoists." After Wanying finished speaking, she took the lead and stepped onto the flying boat. The rest of them looked at each other, and without hesitation, flew up.

After careful consideration, Chu Ci decided to stay here and see the situation. He already had a talisman formation leading to Zuohua Peak, and now he had 30,000 medium-grade spirit stones, so he could go back anytime he wanted.
