Chapter 367: Ten Thousand Soul Banner, A Cornered Beast's Fight

"Good news!"

Ye Bai felt heavy-hearted, but still chose to hear the good news first.

"The good news is that I have already learned the Dharma Treasure Kuteng Shangren intends to refine through the text hidden on Huzi, and I also know some other information. I can be certain that as long as you keep a middle-of-the-road ranking within the Tianren Sect, you will not be in any danger!"

Wensheng said.

"And the bad news?"

"The bad news is also that I have already learned the Dharma Treasure Kuteng Shangren intends to refine, as well as the reason for building this Tianren Sect.

And unless Kuteng Shangren is severely injured and unable to continue presiding over the Tianren Sect, we will have no chance to rely on Second Step strength to leave this place..."

Wensheng said.

The Ten Thousand Soul Banner!

This is the Dharma Treasure Kuteng Shangren wants to refine!

And the reason Kuteng Shangren built the Tianren Sect is because a normal Ten Thousand Soul Banner is said to be only a Superior Grade Magic Treasure, and Kuteng Shangren is not satisfied with that level.

He wants every single soul to possess extraordinary power! Ultimately, he wants to push the grade of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner to the Top Grade Magic Treasure level!

Realizing this by hunting a massive number of demonic cultivators is unrealistic; even if Kuteng Shangren is a Third Step Great Demonic Cultivator, he would run into trouble because some demonic cultivators have backers, so Kuteng Shangren set his sights on the ordinary indigenous people.

He built the Tianren Sect and set up one super-large array after another here, making the ordinary sect members and disciples of the Tianren Sect experience ten years in a single day, and based on the true talent of the disciples, he lets them possess fake power derived from the great arrays.

In this way, these disciples will feel that they are not ordinary people, thereby allowing their souls to have the possibility of becoming incomparably powerful!

Take Huzi, for example, and the top ten disciples of this generation; they have already entered the Ten Thousand Soul Banner...

And the disciples at the bottom of the rankings, destined to be unable to possess stronger strength, are taken away by Kuteng Shangren to become nutrients to strengthen the souls of Huzi and the others...

And all Kuteng Shangren needs to pay is to arrange a group of Mortal Realm demonic cultivators to recruit new disciples outside year-round, and the resources to maintain the operation of the arrays!

Back to business.

Precisely because the Tianren Sect is actually covered by layers upon layers of arrays, and the strength of the disciples inside is all fake, Kuteng Shangren will not allow anyone to leave the sect!

The reason the Four Saints can leave is because they are merely puppets and do not have true life energy!

"Take it one step at a time..."

After hearing this, Ye Bai was helpless.

Let him severely injure Kuteng Shangren?

Don't joke around; right now, he can't even reach out to help Huzi, realizing that Huzi is a person of flesh and blood, not a tool.

A Third Step Great Demonic Cultivator is too strong, too strong!

"Sigh, if only I were at the Second Step Peak right now, perhaps I could trade blows with Kuteng Shangren."

Beside him, Situ Chengdao, having learned the truth, also sighed repeatedly!

The only thing to be thankful for is that as long as one maintains a middle-of-the-road ranking, one can guarantee their own safety...

However, that is easier said than done.

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed!

Still the Tianren Sect!

Still the residence of Ye Bai and Situ Chengdao!

"Brother Bai, what are we going to do tomorrow..."

At this moment, Situ Chengdao was full of anxiety!

"I don't know..."

Ye Bai was also frowning deeply!

In the past half month, for the first ten days or so, Ye Bai and Situ Chengdao had indeed kept Wensheng's warning in mind, and in the two Elite Disciple competitions, they maintained a middle-of-the-road ranking and successfully muddled through.

Although the two were located in the territory of the same Third Step Great Demonic Cultivator, they not only had time every day to look for a way to escape, but also had enough time to improve their own strength!

【Name: Ye Bai】

【Qi and Blood: (Eighth Grade Initial Stage / Mortal Realm Late Stage)】

【Longevity: 21,000 years, 2 months, 3 days, 16 hours】

Ye Bai's current Qi and Blood had already reached over 60 million, and his longevity had also reached 21,000 years because he triggered Longevity once during this period!

Moreover, he had new insights into several Martial Techniques, and their power was a notch stronger!

However.

Just a few days ago, Ye Bai discovered that the crystal Huzi had given him back then was gone, he didn't know when!

The reason he discovered this was because Ye Bai's Beast Taming had reached the Eighth Grade first.

Then, Situ Chengdao's Beast Taming also reached the Eighth Grade!

This morning, both of them reached the Eighth Grade Peak!

What does this mean?

It means that tomorrow, in another Elite Disciple competition, Ye Bai and Situ Chengdao will not be able to continue holding back!

With the strength of their Eighth Grade Peak Beast Taming, it is impossible for them to remain in the middle of the pack; at the very least, they will be ranked in the top ten! Becoming so-called Core Disciples!

It also means that tomorrow will be the day Ye Bai and Situ Chengdao have nowhere left to hide and are destined to face that Third Step Great Demonic Cultivator, Kuteng Shangren, directly...

"Damn it, it even consumes resources automatically; that Kuteng Shangren is truly a dog!

If only I had a few more years; in a few years, I would have full confidence in being able to advance to the Second Step Peak!"

Situ Chengdao cursed loudly.

Ye Bai's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he made a certain decision.

Because even without this business with Kuteng Shangren, he didn't have a few years left anyway...

Waiting for Situ Chengdao to reach the Second Step Peak is impossible.

"Since that is the case, then let's just gamble on it."

He said.

"Brother Bai, what are you planning to do?" Situ Chengdao had an ominous premonition.

"Let the demonic cultivators searching for me outside know that I am at the Tianren Sect.

Lure Hehuan Shangren to the Tianren Sect!"

Ye Bai said!

"Are you crazy?!"

"One Kuteng Shangren is already enough for us to handle, and you still want to bring Hehuan Shangren here?"

"When the time comes, with two Third Step Great Demonic Cultivators together, will we still have a chance to escape? Whether we can even survive is a question, alright!"

Situ Chengdao exclaimed.

"That is why we must gamble, gamble that Hehuan Shangren will fight with Kuteng Shangren..."

"As long as the two of them can fight, we will have a chance to leave!"

Ye Bai said.

In fact, Ye Bai had long ago had the idea of luring Hehuan Shangren here to drive the wolf to swallow the tiger.

Kuteng Shangren was too strong; he and Situ Chengdao simply could not contend with him.

The only Third Step Great Demonic Cultivator he knew who could contend with Kuteng Shangren was Hehuan Shangren.

It was just that this plan was too risky, and they were not in immediate mortal danger for the time being, and could even cultivate freely, so Ye Bai had long been unable to make up his mind!

"Gambling on them fighting each other is worse than gambling on us being able to kill our way out tomorrow..."

"Both are Third Step Great Demonic Cultivators; Hehuan Shangren only wants you, and at most me as well. Kuteng Shangren simply wouldn't find it worth it to cross Hehuan Shangren for our sake, would he?"

Situ Chengdao still felt that Ye Bai's idea was unreliable.

"The gamble I speak of is, of course, not doing nothing and just luring Hehuan Shangren over."

"This is exactly the problem we need to think about now: what method can we use to make Hehuan Shangren refuse to negotiate with Kuteng Shangren after arriving, and have the two of them fight directly?"

Ye Bai's gaze, however, grew increasingly serious.

Situ Chengdao was moved by Ye Bai's gaze, knowing that Ye Bai was not joking, and managed to calm down to think of a strategy with Ye Bai.

Don't say, three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang!
