Although Shen Xiang had not expected such a thing to happen, sometimes plans were bound to go wrong. Now his secret attempt to win over the inner disciples of Wangugu Mountain had been discovered by the Dan Shen Academy and the Elders' Council, and they had also taken action, which was to begin to incorporate other small and medium-sized forces.
Shen Xiang felt that the next one would most likely be the Feng family, because the Feng family also hated him very much. Now that Wangu Mountain had taken the lead and formed an alliance with Datianmen, if it could bring many benefits to Datianmen, then many other forces would be happy to do so.
"There is no benefit in forming an alliance with Wangu Mountain... Of course, this is for the low-key disciples of other forces. As long as they form an alliance with Wangu Mountain, the people of those forces will be the same as Wangu Mountain's outer disciples." Shen Xiang said. Wangu Mountain's alliance with other small and medium-sized forces did not pose any threat to him.
"Fortunately, they don't know that the headmaster is hanging out with you. Even if they knew, it wouldn't matter. They can't do anything to the headmaster." Hua Lang said.
"Do they know that I have a large number of Bone Divine Pills?" Shen Xiang asked.
"I know. They are also very sure that the person who bought the Qingxin Divine Lotus before was you, big brother. I don't know where they got the Bone Divine Pill that you refined, but they confirmed it through comparison." Hua Lang was able to find out a lot of information in the inner sect, even many relatively secretive things.
"Alang, I will send you out of the city now. You should know how to go back, right?" Shen Xiang said when he saw that Hua Lang's injuries had improved a lot.
"Brother, are you going to stay here and ruin their good deeds?" Hua Lang said with a wicked smile, "I want to stay here and see too."
"No, you'd better go back first. Your injuries haven't healed completely yet." Shen Xiang shook his head: "They now know that I can refine a large number of bone divine pills, which can endanger their status and interests. They will definitely attack me next time."
Hua Lang nodded. His strength was limited. If a fight broke out, he wouldn't even be able to run away.
Shen Xiang used the power of space to carefully open a space channel and sent Hua Lang away from the Great Heaven Gate. Then he used the art of immutability to change his appearance and walked out of the dungeon.
It was still very lively up there. They didn't know Hua Lang had already left, and they were all celebrating to their heart's content!
Shen Xiang found it funny in his heart that Datianmen was so happy now, but they had no idea that the Dan Shen Academy and the Elders Council of Wangu Mountain had formed an alliance with Datianmen in order to find new slaves. The lower-level disciples of Datianmen thought that currying favor with Wangu Mountain was a good thing, so they also celebrated.
The only ones who can benefit from this are probably the top leaders of Wangugushan. They have been working for Wangugushan for a long time and now they are just joining Wangugushan in a legitimate way, while also betraying all the disciples of the sect.
Shen Xiang came to the square in the middle. When he arrived, he heard people talking about celebrating for several days and nights. There were more and more banquets here, and the whole square was shrouded in the strong aroma of wine and joy.
Suddenly, the people in the middle of the square stood up, moved the wine tables away, and cleared a large space. An old man came over and waved his hand to release a very solid-looking fighting arena. Then several more old men came, took out multiple formation plates, and set up barriers.
An old man walked onto the stage and said loudly, "I am the elder of Wangu Mountain. The headmaster was absent due to some matters, so I will be responsible for the alliance between Wangu Mountain and Datianmen! Thank you very much for coming here to support us, so we have decided to add an extra program to liven up the atmosphere."
"We will each select a disciple from Wangu Mountain and Da Tian Men. First, the disciple from Da Tian Men will defend the ring. If anyone can defeat him, he will get a mid-grade bone divine pill! After defeating the disciple from Da Tian Men, my Wangu Mountain disciples will come on stage. If anyone defeats my Wangu Mountain disciples, he will get a high-grade bone divine pill."
Hearing about the rewards here, everyone immediately became excited. If they won, they could get a mid-grade Bone Divine Pill, or even a top-grade Bone Divine Pill. Many old guys had already decided in their hearts that they wanted to go on stage and give it a try.
Seeing everyone's expectant expressions, the old man smiled and said, "I see that everyone is very interested in this. There will definitely be a lot of people participating, and it will be difficult to arrange them! How about this, we let the disciples hold a secret box in their hands. As long as they grab the black beads from the box, they can come on stage and challenge our defending disciples."
Shen Xiang looked around and saw that there were indeed a hundred disciples holding boxes and walking into the crowd. Many people were scrambling to reach into the boxes to grab the beads.
When it was Shen Xiang's turn, he used his Dao Heart Eyes to easily see the black beads, and then grabbed them out. He observed and found that among these beads, there was only one black one out of a hundred, and there were thousands of people participating, but in the end only dozens of people got the black beads.
Although many people complained that they had no chance, it is understandable that if thousands of people took turns to challenge the defender, the defender would definitely be exhausted. If dozens of people took turns to challenge, it would be more reasonable.
"Friends who have obtained the black beads, please line up here to register." When Shen Xiang heard the elder's voice, he immediately stood up and walked over.
Not long after he left, he was stopped by a ferocious-looking man.
"Boy, give me the black bead in your hand, and I will give you 100,000 Divine Yuan Stones." The big man pressed his rough hand on Shen Xiang's shoulder, and actually pinched Shen Xiang's shoulder bone hard.
"Hmph!" Shen Xiang snorted lightly and used the Ice Soul Demonic Energy, sending out a faint chill from his shoulder bone and injecting it into the big man's hands.
The big man felt his arm suddenly become cold, and he actually lost consciousness, which made him terrified. When he wanted to curse Shen Xiang, no sound came out of his throat. His whole body was penetrated by the strange icy magic energy, which made him step back a few steps and sit on his chair.
This big man was only at 70 Godheads, and Shen Xiang could kill him with one palm strike, but he actually dared to threaten Shen Xiang! And Shen Xiang also taught him a painful lesson!
After Shen Xiang arrived at the registration place, he found that he was the last one. He cursed the big man in his heart. If it weren't for the big man who blocked him for a little time, he would definitely not be so last.
"What's your name?" An old man looked at the black bead that Shen Xiang handed over, and asked after confirming that it was real.
"Qitian!" Shen Xiang made up a fake name on the spot.
"Okay, you are the fifty-third, and the last one! Young man, you are not smart enough, otherwise you wouldn't be ranked so last! But you don't have to worry too much, maybe they will exhaust the strength of the disciples defending the ring, and it will happen to be your turn, then you can get a big bargain." The old man laughed and handed the black bead back to Shen Xiang.
