Chapter 598 The Most Immediate Threat
After some discussion, everyone finally made a decision, and also discussed a lot of details, such as Zhang Zhiwen has the ability to dispel evil poisons, so they should preserve their strength and take Zhang Zhiwen's life as the most important thing. They should also save more Dao Soul Stones so that Zhang Zhiwen can use them to transform at critical moments. Then everyone will give the Dao Soul Stones they get to Zhang Zhiwen as soon as possible. They discussed for a whole day.
Finally, the experience of the polluted land began, and Zhao Mingyin led everyone to the outer hall to gather. There were also many people in the outer hall. Usually, there were not so many people. Now it was almost crowded. It seemed that all the outer hall disciples of Chen's government office had been dispatched this time.
There were at least thousands of outer hall disciples in the huge outer hall, and even tens of thousands of them. Looking around, it was a large black mass, and Zhuo Yaoyue and Li Chengxiu had been waiting here for a long time, so Zhao Mingyin took Zhang Zhiwen and others over.
After about a morning, it seemed that all the outer hall disciples had arrived. Zhuo Yaoyue and Li Chengxiu also had quite a few people here, and there were hundreds of them. But Zhang Zhiwen also saw that there were quite a few people in other teams, and there were no less than a hundred teams like the Yaoyue team. The total number of people was extremely shocking and terrifying, not the thousands of people seen at the beginning, but tens of thousands.
Zhang Zhiwen frowned slightly, because there were too many people here, almost the same as the number of servants. If all these people were promoted to become inner hall disciples, wouldn't the inner hall have tens of thousands of cultivators all of a sudden? At that time, the inner hall would be overcrowded, and the competition would be more intense.
But this is obviously unlikely, because the inner hall can't accommodate so many cultivators. If this is the case, there is only one possibility, that is, many people will die in this polluted land, that is, a few people can survive and enter the inner hall.
Zhang Zhiwen saw this, Zhao Mingyin and others also saw this, and other cultivators must have seen this. There is no doubt that the training in the polluted land this time must be extremely dangerous, even a life-or-death situation. Even if it is a life-or-death situation, there are thousands of outer hall disciples who have been promoted to the inner hall, which is also quite terrifying.
However, no matter how many casualties the outer hall disciples suffered, Chen's government office will still be the big winner in the end. As long as the promoted disciples hand over the Dao Soul Stone, then the harvest this time must be huge. If it is replaced by the previous way of doing tasks to hand in the Dao Soul Stone, Chen's government office will have to wait for a long time to be able to collect enough Dao Soul Stones, but now it is different. You can get a huge amount of Dao Soul Stones with one job.
"Okay, now that everyone is here, let me tell you what's next!"
The Outer Hall Master spoke. He was an old man in his fifties, and there were two deputy masters beside him. These three were all ancient Dao Soul cultivators, blessed with Dao weapons, and they were all late Jindan cultivators. There was no doubt that if these three people wanted to, they would be able to kill all the tens of thousands of acquired Dao Soul cultivators here!
The Chen family government office relied on these elders to firmly control the affairs of the Outer Hall. How dare these Outer Hall disciples rebel? The Chen family government office was also very smart. Once the Outer Hall disciples entered the Innate Dao Soul, or their cultivation broke through to the late Jindan, then the mission points were almost completed, and they were enough to advance to the Inner Hall. When they reached the Inner Hall, there would definitely be stronger blood elders in charge.
Therefore, with these layers of control, the disciples of Chen's government office are almost impossible to rebel, and there is no need for them to rebel, unless in the current situation, everyone feels that the polluted land is extremely dangerous and there is a high risk of death, then they may not want to participate in the training, and there may be a riot at this time.
But Chen's government office sent the head of the outer hall and two deputy heads to suppress it, so no one dared to move rashly, otherwise they would be killed without mercy. Therefore, when everyone heard the words of the head of the hall, they all quieted down honestly.
"I won't say much, but I am very relieved that everyone can participate in the training this time."
The head of the outer hall continued to speak, and no one dared to refute what he said, but everyone didn't think so in their hearts. What does it mean that everyone is willing to participate? It's just that there is no choice.
However, it can be seen that most of the cultivators here hope to save their lives after entering the polluted land, and they will not be greedy for the Dao Soul Stone at all, because the Dao Soul Stone must be handed over to the Chen family government office, which is just the biggest advantage for the Chen family government office.
If the Chen family government office had not promised that they could be promoted to inner hall disciples after the training, everyone must have felt even more unbalanced. Therefore, under the dual blessing of force and interests, these cultivators are also honest and dutiful. As for what everyone thinks in their hearts, it is unknown.
However, Zhang Zhiwen's side had been discussed in advance. Zhao Mingyin looked at everyone, and everyone understood and knew how to cooperate with Zhang Zhiwen and protect Zhang Zhiwen next, and then try to get away with it.
Seeing that everyone had calmed down and there was almost no restlessness, the Outer Hall Master nodded with satisfaction, and then continued: "Well, then I won't waste any more words, because the time is almost up, and it is the perfect time to enter the polluted land, so I will tell you the rules of this experience, everyone must remember them well, otherwise my government will not let you off!"
This old man actually threatened everyone directly in front of tens of thousands of monks, but he really has this ability. Not to mention that this is the outer hall of the Chen family government office. Even outside, no one dares to say anything. The three of them The hall master is here, with the ancient Taoist soul plus the late-stage Jin Dan, plus a Taoist weapon, and even a powerful combined Taoist technique. These tens of thousands of monks may seem like a lot, but in fact they may not be enough to kill them.
Therefore, threats are threats, and no one dares to do anything.
"This time, after entering, you must stay for at least a month!"
The leader of the outer hall spoke very directly. The Chen family's government office would not be polite to anyone anyway, so he naturally didn't have to put on airs or anything like that. Those who were not convinced would be killed directly, and those who were convinced would obey orders honestly. So why was he being polite!
But when everyone heard this, they were immediately in an uproar.
"quiet!"
The deputy hall leader came out and scolded, the power of Taoism suddenly spread, and a powerful Taoism aura directly pressed down, which shocked everyone's hearts. Even those with weak cultivation stumbled out, with blood spilling from the corners of their mouths!
This kind of power scared all the monks and they no longer dared to say anything. A deputy hall master could suppress everyone here. This power was so strong that even Zhang Zhiwen's heart skipped a beat. This deputy hall master is indeed Chen The clan elder of the clan government office said that this Taoist technique was definitely an ancient Taoist technique. A casual scolding made his heart skip a beat. The power of this kind of soul was indeed extremely impressive.
The most important thing is that his spiritual power can be fully exerted with the help of ancient Taoism, and can even be blessed to be even more powerful.
If the three hall masters join forces to suppress everyone, the killing effect will indeed be achieved. At this moment, everyone truly realizes the huge gap between them. Even Zhang Zhiwen knows that he can't even fight against three ancient Taoist souls now. He couldn't bear even one of the clan elders, but his only chance of survival was to escape, but he also had to have a large number of Dao Soul Stones, and these Dao Soul Stones could not be obtained casually.
Moreover, these are just clan elders, and they are only monks in the late stage of the Golden Core. How powerful would they be if they were the ancient Taoist monks of the Great Perfection of the Golden Core? How powerful would it be if he were a Nascent Soul cultivator again?
Needless to say, Zhang Zhiwen also knows the huge gap between the two parties, and to survive, he must become stronger. As for the Tiandao Yuanshen that Zhao Mingyin mentioned, he naturally has expectations, but at the moment, it is more about how to survive. .
Because when everyone enters a polluted place, they have to stay there for a month. This time is too long, and more complex and changing crises will inevitably occur. In fact, even if you stay for a minute or a second longer, it will have a lot of consequences. of great uncertainty.
But since the leader of the outer hall has spoken out the rules, he must abide by them. The consequence of not complying is to be killed on the spot.
Sure enough, those who said they volunteered to participate in the training are all lies. It’s okay not to come. If you look for an opportunity to kill them secretly at any time, then who else dares not to come?
Everyone's expressions were extremely ugly. Except for Zhuo Yaoyue and other captains, who seemed to be doing better, most of the monks were frightened. Now it seemed that training in the contaminated land was more difficult than they thought.
"Of course, this month is not just for you to hang around and wait to die. If you enter, you will definitely gain something. Apart from other things, everyone must collect at least ten Houtian lower-grade Dao soul stones and bring them back. If you reach If the amount is less than the amount, the government will punish you accordingly. If the amount is less than one yuan, you will be imprisoned for a hundred years! "
The old man who was the leader of the outer hall continued to talk. This time, everyone did not dare to make an uproar, but their faces became increasingly ugly. Many people could not help but look at each other, and they could all see the anxiety and fear in each other's hearts.
The same is true for Zhao Mingyin and others, but Zhao Mingyin and others are better off, because everyone has discussed how to survive before, and they will not be scapegoats anyway. As for collecting Dao Soul Stones, just take it one step at a time.
"Of course, the more Dao Soul Stones collected, the greater the rewards will be. This training will give everyone a great opportunity to advance to the inner hall disciples. And whoever collects the most Dao Soul Stones, I can give the inner hall disciples Nominate and recommend him to become the inner captain or one of the vice-captains!”
When the old man said this, he almost stopped pretending. The various rules of the outer hall and the inner hall are actually layers of ranks. The captains are all formed spontaneously. In fact, they are not at all. In fact, they are all determined internally. Endorsed by the hall leader and deputy hall master.
For example, captains such as Zhuo Yaoyue must have the endorsement of this old man, otherwise they would not be captains. As for why the old man chose Zhuo Yaoyue and others, it is unknown, but the same must be true in the inner hall. And the captain leading the team this time will definitely become the monk who has obtained the most soul stones, and they will naturally become the captain of the inner hall!
Others didn't react much to this. They seemed to have known about these things for a long time. This kind of thing is not unique to Ten Thousand Immortals Island. It is the same everywhere, and there is nothing strange about it.
"Very good, it seems that you all understand it. Of course, this is the simplest rule. Next, I will tell you the specific arrangements for this experience!"
The old man continued. It was obvious that although he and the other two deputy hall masters could not enter the contaminated land, they had the power to make rules, and everyone here must obey their orders.
As the saying goes, those who eat don't work in the fields, and those who work in the fields can hardly eat enough. Isn't this the case since ancient times? At this moment, the outer hall disciples who risked their lives to train are in this situation. Everyone enters the polluted land, and their life and death are uncertain, but they are firmly controlled by the Chen family government.
This is the cruel reality, and the old man seems to know that everyone has their own calculations. He couldn't help but sneer and said, "You'd better obey my rules. Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because I haven't entered. Once I find out that someone of you has bad intentions, once this person comes out, I will let him know what it means to live a life worse than death!"
This is the most direct threat, and the old man really has this ability. After all, these captains are his and the deputy hall master's people. It seems that this relationship is connected in this way. It's no wonder that they have to arrange the captains in the outer hall, so that they can firmly control the outer hall disciples.
Of course, this kind of threat is actually unnecessary, because everyone knows it well, and it is impossible to do anything. It is just some life-saving calculations. How can it threaten the government office?
"Master, I don't think they dare!" A deputy master came out and said contemptuously, and this was naturally very confident.
The old man nodded and continued.
"One month, at least ten Dao Soul Stones must be collected. If one is less, you will be confined for a hundred years. In addition, there is another important thing, that is, this experience must be combined together, and there is no need to separate each team for experience!"
After the old man said this, everyone was completely confused, because everyone thought that each team acted alone, but who would have thought that everyone would act together!
If this is the case, then who will listen to after entering this experience? If it is the captains who lead the team, it is easy to say, anyway, just listen to the captain, but it is not like this now. Now everyone is mixed together and cannot be separated. They must act together. No one is responsible, that is, there is no leader!
Isn't the old man thinking too much? Why do you do such a thing? Without a leader, the tens of thousands of cultivators here may seem like a lot of people, but in fact, they are easily vulnerable.
Because of this, the plan that Zhao Mingyin and Zhang Zhiwen had discussed before was no longer effective. With so many people all mixed together, it would be a huge crowd. Wouldn't it be easy for those strange beasts to surround and kill them?
