A small independent cultivator without any sect or school, but made a deal with the Heavenly Dao

"You can't do this to us. We are all human beings. You are murdering us."

The people from the Suzhu Sect attacked the wild beasts while shouting in a timid manner, as if they were the innocent victims.

Pei Cangli pretended to clap his hands and said, "Oh, I'm so sorry, I slipped and threw the wild beast to you. How did you get into the formation we used to trap the wild beast?"

Si Yunzhou also followed up and said, "This formation is used to trap wild beasts. How could you be so careless? However, I think the Suzhu Sect should be very powerful. After all, the Qingying Sect and Luoshui Sect are only so powerful."

Mu Yao deliberately said with a look of disapproval, "Fellow Daoist Si, what are you talking about? If the Suzhu Sect, which ranks third, can't even deal with a third-level wild beast, it would be shameful."

The seven people in the formation blushed when they heard what Si Yunzhou and the others said outside. After all, these were the words they had just said, but now the people they were talking to were Pei Cangli and the others.

At this time, the two wild beasts outside were hunted down by Pei Cangli and his men, while the wild beasts inside the formation were more powerful due to the restrictions of the venue. After all, the seven people from the Suzhu Sect did not dare to approach the wild beasts at all.

Seeing the wild beast pouncing towards one of them, the others were so scared that they tried to stay as far away as possible, fearing that they would be targeted by the wild beast if they were not careful.

The Suzhu Sect cultivator who was targeted by the wild beast, saw that everyone else was hiding far away. In order to protect himself, he had no choice but to bow his head to Pei Cangli and beg her to save his life.

"Friend Pei, I was blind and offended you just now. Please consider that we are all human beings and save my life."

"Ning Yi, do you think that if you bow to her now, she will save you? Have you forgotten what Junior Sister Liu said?"

When the other people in the formation saw the cultivator being targeted by the wild beast, they actually bowed their heads to Pei Cangli and spoke out to stop him.

The cultivator named Ning Yi, while struggling to fend off the wild beast, yelled at the other Suzhu Sect cultivators, "What a bunch of hypocritical people! Why don't you dare to hunt wild beasts with me? Stop being hypocritical and come and kill this wild beast if you have the guts."

After scolding his companions, Ning Yi begged Pei Cangli again, "Fellow Daoist Pei, I know you have a good relationship with Senior Brother Lin Yi. Can you please save my life for Senior Brother Lin Yi's sake? I will be grateful to you."

When Pei Cangli heard him mention Lin Yi, he looked at Si Yunzhou, then Pei Cangli used a water curtain shield to temporarily trap the wild beast, and Si Yunzhou released Ning Yi from the formation.

By the time Ning Yi reacted, he had already appeared outside the formation, while the wild beast was still with the other six people.

Seeing that he was saved by Si Yunzhou, he bowed to Si Yunzhou and Pei Cangli and said, "I will never forget your life-saving grace. It was because I believed the slander of the villain before and misunderstood you."

Pei Cangli waved his hand casually and asked, "Since you mentioned Lin Yi, do you know how he is doing now? Why didn't he come to participate in the ten-year competition this time?"

"Ning Yi, you can't say that Junior Sister Liu You specifically told you to do this before you left. Don't forget that Junior Sister Liu You's master is the head of our Suzhu Sect."

Si Yunzhou simply waved his hand, and the formation was blocked from sound. The people inside only saw Ning Yi's mouth moving but could not hear what he said.

It turned out that since the last time Liu You went back, she had complained to the head of the sect, saying that Lin Yi had teamed up with outsiders to not only feed her poison, but also throw her out of the Yanjin Secret Realm early.

As a result, she almost lost her life and lost the opportunity to search for treasure in the secret realm. Originally, Liu You entered the secret realm that time to help the master find a fire-type treasure.

After hearing what Liu You said, the head of the sect sent someone to invite Lin Yi on the spot. However, he didn't know that Lin Yi was in the process of trying to reach the Jindan stage, so he could only be called over after he succeeded in forming the Jindan.

While he was in the process of forming the elixir, Liu You even complained in front of the sect leader that if it weren't for Lin Yi, she would have been able to form the elixir successfully by now.

The head of the sect has always valued Liu You's cultivation, and in order to help her improve her cultivation, he gave her a lot of good things. So when he heard this, he didn't give Lin Yi a chance to explain and locked him up.

When Senior Brother Gu Chen learned that Lin Yi was imprisoned, he ran to the Sect Master to plead for mercy, and even said that Junior Brother Lin Yi would never target Liu You without reason. He also mentioned that Junior Sister Liu You's cultivation was unstable and she should not be in a hurry to find treasures and form pills.

When the leader of Suzhu Sect heard this, he also locked up Senior Brother Gu Chen, but there were no restrictions on Senior Brother Gu Chen's movements, as long as he did not leave his courtyard. Senior Brother Lin Yi was directly locked up in the back mountain.

Before this ten-year competition, Liu You was operating in secret. Those cultivators who had a good relationship with Lin Yi and Gu Chen were sent out to participate in other tasks.

There are also some who were directly disqualified for various reasons. Those who participated in the ten-year competition were either like Ning Yi, who was deliberately fooled by Liu You, or they were Liu You's followers.

It seems that Liu You has put in a lot of effort to deal with Pei Cangli this time, so in the next competition, Liu You will definitely take action.

"Fellow Daoist Ning, your sect's Liu You seems to be highly regarded by your sect leader. Do you know why?"

"I don't know the specific reason, but there are rumors in our Suzhu Sect that Junior Sister Liu You might be the Sect Master's illegitimate daughter. There are also rumors that Liu You looks a lot like the Sect Master's former crush."

After taking a look around, Ning Yi whispered, "There are even rumors that the Sect Master wants to practice a certain technique, and Liu You's physique happens to be the key to practicing this technique. In short, there are all kinds of rumors, but no one has ever confirmed the reason."

"Hasn't your leader heard about these rumors? He just allowed them to spread recklessly?"

"Who knows? Maybe the master is too busy and never paid attention to it. Or maybe the master knows the rumor but he just doesn't care at all."

Pei Cangli wanted to continue to inquire about other matters of the Suzhu Sect when suddenly a cry of surprise was heard from within the formation.

So much time had passed, and the six people hadn't even managed to capture a third-order wild beast. Instead, one of the female cultivators was implicated by the people next to her and was bitten by the wild beast. The scream came from her mouth.

When Ning Yi saw this, he was even more glad that he begged for mercy early, otherwise he might be the one being bitten.

The other five people originally wanted to compete secretly with Pei Cangli and the others and did not intend to beg for mercy.

Now seeing that one of them had actually been bitten by the wild beast, everyone had a look of despair on their faces.

Especially the female cultivator who was bitten, she just sat on the ground motionless, as if the wild beast had bitten off her soul, not her body.

Seeing the wild beast rushing towards her again, the other five people hid far away. Pei Cangli hit the wild beast with a water arrow and dragged the female cultivator out of the formation.
