Chapter 119

Having agreed with the Formation Sect, we only need to wait for the Formation carving to finish, then Hong Zun and the other can enter Jinhai Yingdi.

Meanwhile, inside Jinhai Yingdi, the situation also underwent some changes.

"Mealtime!"

Originally the camp was fairly quiet, but at that shout, Shénjiàn Fēng Dìzǐ came rushing out from every area like madmen.

After a period of rest, those disciples who were seriously injured in bed have mostly recovered.

Without a doubt, they naturally joined the race for food at the first opportunity.

Now each meal has been increased to five thousand portions, but there are over ten thousand Shénjiàn Fēng Dìzǐ, plus the Jade Maiden Peak disciples mixed in the crowd, and the competition remains fierce.

"Charge!"

"Haha, this old tiger has gotten out of bed; today let's see who dares to challenge me."

Shénjiàn Fēng Dìzǐ were long accustomed to the struggles at Fàn diǎn; along the way, various techniques and body methods emerged endlessly.

"Watch my Entangling Hand."

"You little thing, today Shī xiōng will let you gain much insight, Clear Flow Wall."

This Clear Flow Wall is a defensive technique that can condense a Línglì barrier like flowing water around the body.

Originally meant to block enemy attacks, but this disciple directly used it against the Entangling Hand.

As the Clear Flow Wall was deployed, the Entangling Hand struck it and instantly lost its effect, leaving that junior brother staring wide-eyed.

"No, my Entangling Hand—how did it just disappear?"

"How about it, junior brother? This is something Shī xiōng happened to discover; Clear Flow Wall has a natural counter to Entangling Hand, so from now on Entangling Hand poses no threat to Shī xiōng."

"Hah, that's not certain—Silkworm Hand."

Before the words had finished, another disciple struck out, and instantly strands of Línglì silk wrapped around the Clear Flow Wall, directly controlling that disciple as well.

This Silkworm Hand is a scouting technique.

Turning Línglì into countless invisible silk threads that spread in all directions, one can sense minute vibrations in the surroundings through these Línglì threads.

Shénjiàn Fēng Dìzǐ were having a blast fighting, but the Jade Maiden Peak disciples in the ranks just stood there dumbfounded.

"No, Clear Flow Wall and Silkworm Hand can be used like this?"

"Junior sister, Shī xiōng feels he owes you, Silkworm Hand."

Still dazed, the Línglì silk threads had already enveloped her, and a Jade Maiden Peak disciple was directly bound like that.

When eating, Shénjiàn Fēng Dìzǐ certainly have no concept of cherishing fragrance and jade.

Other times are fine, but once the mealtime call sounds, regardless of age or gender, whoever blocks me dies.

They were completely no match; Jade Maiden Peak disciples who wanted to resist were subdued in a few moves and unable to move.

It's completely different from how it was during the previous battle.

"Senior sister, this is nothing like what we agreed on, ah."

They originally thought that as long as they came to Jinhai Yingdi, they could enjoy Junior Brother Changqing's delicious food, but when they actually arrived, they realized it wasn't like that at all, ah.

"They actually hid their cultivation, a bunch of despicable scoundrels."

Upon hearing that, the Jade Maiden Peak senior sister gritted her teeth and said.

Unable to win, completely unable to win, totally no match; in the end, when they reached the mess hall door, only the Shénjiàn Fēng Dìzǐ remained, at most a few Jade Maiden Peak disciples had managed to get there by luck.

But that doesn't mean you'll get to eat; in the matter of grabbing food, the Jade Maiden Peak disciples still lack a lot of training.

"Today's new dish is spicy crab, ah."

"Let's go, ah."

After fierce competition, the Shénjiàn Fēng Dìzǐ who secured spots ate to their heart's content, while all the Jade Maiden Peak disciples huddled together, each wanting to cry but unable to shed tears.

"Senior sister, what should we do, ah? We really can't win, ah."

"Sniffle, this is nothing like what we agreed on; three days have passed and I haven't had a single meal."

The little fairies all had red eyes, and the leading senior sister, hearing the junior sisters' complaints, her face also grew grim and unsightly; after staying silent for a long while, she finally spoke.

"Before, we didn't understand the rules of getting food, and moreover we were played by those Shénjiàn Fēng Dìzǐ."

"Yes, yes, who would have thought they'd also hidden their cultivation?"

"Not just their cultivation, they even hid their techniques."

"This isn't the point, really; the truly hateful thing is their methods, downright filthy to the extreme, ah."

Speaking of the filthiness of their methods, all the women nodded repeatedly; this is truly dirty, only you can't imagine, there's nothing they can't come up with.

Under the rules being allowed, it's really dirty to the point of being unimaginable.

"You're right, this is the main point; why did we lose?"

Faced with the senior sister's question, the junior sisters all shook their heads blankly, indicating they didn't know.

Under the gaze of the junior sisters, this senior sister slowly said.

"It's simply because we're not dirty enough."

"I have to admit, in the matter of grabbing food, we are indeed inferior to Divine Sword Peak; their methods and scheming surpass ours, which is why we keep losing battle after battle."

"And to solve this problem, it's actually simple: just beat them; as long as we win, the right to eat will be ours."

As the senior sister spoke, the junior sisters' eyes lit up; yeah, as long as we win, we'll have food to eat.

"But we can't beat them, ah."

But soon, another junior sister spoke up glumly; in response, the senior sister's eyes shone with wisdom as she said.

"Whether success or not depends on many factors: cultivation, techniques, methods—none can be lacking."

"First, we must also strive in Xiūliàn; these past days you've yourselves seen how the Shénjiàn Fēng Dìzǐ practice Xiūliàn—if we don't catch up to them, it's as if we were born weaker by one notch."

"Second, is techniques; this also requires effort."

"As for the final aspect, methods—they can play dirty, so why can't we?"

Having summed up the lessons of the past few days, if they want to eat, they must make changes.

Just as they were discussing, the Shénjiàn Fēng Dìzǐ who had finished eating and left the kitchen satisfied, from afar saw a group of women gathered together, mysteriously saying something.

What are they doing?

I don't know, but I never expected to be able to chase all the way to Jinhai Yingdi.

Hey, even if they've come, what can they do? Wanting to steal food is still far off.

That's right, the food of our Divine Sword Peak—how could it fall into outsiders' mouths?

Come on, let's go set up traps first; I heard Senior Brother and the others are bringing more ingredients again.

They're eating so fast, it'll be gone in three days.

You know full well, these aquatic creatures aren't easy to eat.

Several people said this and then walked out of the camp, unaware that at this moment the disciples of Jade Maiden Peak were beginning a rapid transformation.

So, when it's time to get dirty, you must get dirty; everything is for the sake of eating, not shirking, having come all this way—you surely don't want to go back empty-handed after just one meal.

The leading senior sister spoke with a resounding voice, and as her words fell, the eyes of many Jade Maiden Peak disciples also flashed with waves of red light, just like the Shénjiàn Fēng Dìzǐ had at first.
