Chapter 946 Day 4-5 Of The Fifth Trial
Day 4 of the Trial.
Another team of 9 had approached the center of the island now and their objective was the other teams to obtain their tokens and to kill them.
They had since lost 2 of their cultivators.
As soon as they emerged from the forest, they saw Ji Yuan and his team.
But before they could ready their battle cry, they were stunned; it was because they saw a total of 16 cultivators camping along the slopes of the mountains.
There was even a 9th rank epic phoenix god beast that was playing with on the dark shades of the mountain, conveniently staying away from their divine senses.
9 vs. 16 were insane…
Plus one 9th rank epic phoenix god beast.
Ji Yuan grinned to them, “Surrender your tokens to me and I shall protect you from the menace of the other teams until the end of the trial. Or else, you can all die in this place immediately.”
This was just a threat as Ji Yuan did not have the intention of killing them.
Needless to say, the new team of 9 cultivators surrendered immediately after they had secure Ji Yuan’s oath in not slaughtering their team.
They just perplexed why there were 16 cultivators in this place instead of 11?
But they soon found out that there was actually another team in this place that was in a similar situation as them.
They did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Soon, another team of 8 cultivators had arrived at the scene as well. This team had lost 3 cultivators to the treacherous profound beasts and the dangerous spirit plants in the vicinity.
Many of them were even wounded.
Like the previous team, the first cultivator that greeted them was Ji Yuan and they were shocked to see that there were 25 cultivators in this place and there was even a 9th rank epic phoenix god beast; this caused them to be completely stunned.
Among them was Beitang Hai and he had recognized Ji Yuan, “Brother Ji Yuan?! Are you going to slaughter us all?”
8 vs. 25 were insane…
Plus one 9th rank epic phoenix god beast.
Like the previous team, Ji Yuan had offered them the same option and they too, surrendered their tokens to Ji Yuan.
Now Ji Yuan had a total of 27 extra tokens.
Other than the two encounters with the opposing teams, Day 4 actually passed quite peacefully for Ji Yuan.
Ji Yuan checked the opposing teams if they had seen the Smiling Divine Maiden Chu Lixue or Bai Qianfeng and he was disappointed that they had not seen them.
His Senior Sister Chu Lixue was probably gone now…
Zhi Jiugong and the Lovely Empress did not take this too well; they were quiet for the entire day.
As for his Qianfeng, she was probably uninterested to be a champion of a divine consort as she held herself quite haughty.
So his plan of faking his ‘death’ was doomed to fail from the start.
There were actually 2 other teams that were still inside the forest but they dared not approach the center of the island.𝑛𝑜𝒱𝑒𝐥𝐍𝓮xt.𝒞𝑶𝓂
One was actually Wang Gongzi from Ji Yuan’s original team and he was the solo survivor.
Since he was alone, he had naturally decided to find a safe spot and wait out the entire 5 days of trial instead since he did not want to die or have any mishaps.
As for the other team, it was actually the team that Ling Feiyue, Xie Hongyu and Hua Yunzi had originated; it was led by Great Saint Jing Taizhong, Heng Wujian and 4 other cultivators.
Great Saint Jing Taizhong and his team had decided to retreat to the outskirt of the island instead. Instead of attempting to obtain their trial points, they had decided to find their fortuitous encounters in this place, far away from the other powerful cultivators.
To them, this sounded like a feasible option.
On Day 5, it was also quite peaceful for Ji Yuan and his team; he spent most of the time chatting with the maidens and once again Ling Feiyue was filling them with gossips of their time here.
The maidens were interested to know Ji Yuan’s experience and how he had actually become the Great Spiritas Hero in this place.
So Ji Yuan explained to them, “I was walking peacefully in the streets when a man called out to me in a most arrogant manner and issued me an ultimatum to be his male harlot or die. At that time, I didn’t know that he was the Immortal Divine Lord Kong Rong. Naturally I didn’t agree with it and we fought…”
But before he could finish, all the maidens interrupted him.
“Lies!”
“I never heard of such a ridiculous request!”
“Ji Yuan, can you tell a better story?”
“When will you ever learn to speak the truth?”
“Do you know that lying will affect your breakthroughs and ascension in the future?”
Ji Yuan muttered weakly, “I didn’t lie, you know.”
But Ling Feiyue, Shui Xisi, the Lovely Empress, Zhi Jiugong, Xie Hongyu and Hua Yunzi were all giggling with laughter among themselves; none of them believe Ji Yuan.
Ling Feiyue frowned, “We know that you’ve defeated this Immortal Divine Lord Kong Rong and that is why your divine consorts have made you their Great Spiritas Hero. But why did the Goddess Ai Tina make you her personal guard of honor? Is it…”
“Is it because to give you a chance to… bang her?” Shui Xisi giggled as she offered a suggestion.
The Lovely Empress chuckled softly to add, “Why did she make you a divine lord? Is it because of the same reason as well?”
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
“You know,” he frowned at them. “I have 27 tokens here and the trial will pick 6 winning champions from the fifth trial with the highest points. Do you all still want my tokens or not?”
Immediately the maidens shut up much to Ji Yuan relief but they were soon giggling again among themselves again.
Ji Yuan asked exasperatedly, “Didn’t you hear me?”
Ling Feiyue giggled, “There are six maidens here. We just wonder who you want to give your tokens to.”
Xie Hongyu had a flustered look as she said panicky, “You don’t have to give me any tokens. I am not… among you.”
Hua Yunzi was also saying with a flushed look, “Not me either! You don’t have to worry about me. I don’t have to be one of the winning champions.”
Ji Yuan indeed had the intention to give the tokens to Ling Feiyue, Shui Xisi, the Lovely Empress and Zhi Jiugong.
However, he was a little troubled by the 6th person and he was afraid that Hua Yunzi or Xie Hongyu may feel unfair in their hearts.
But very quickly, he had thought of a brilliant solution.
