Chapter 566: The Unlucky Jiuying Tribe

Qin Feng thought he had hidden himself well, stealing the whole process of the three's plan from the side.

But in terms of the ability to use spiritual sense among the same level, who could compare to Lu Yang?

After entering the first layer, Meng Jingzhou calculated the distance from the entrance to the Heavenly Ladder entrance according to the map, which would take at least a day.

The first layer is a circular space. Since the rules stated that one must kill demon beasts to obtain essence souls, everyone's first reaction would be to scatter from the entrance, gradually explore the first layer, find demon beasts, and kill them. No one would think of going to the Heavenly Ladder entrance first to see the intelligence there.

After figuring out the rules of the first layer, Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou both thought of building a box at the Heavenly Ladder entrance to collect essence souls.

The only uncertain point of this plan was the strength of the demon beasts. If the Nascent Soul stage demon beasts exerted Spirit Transformation strength, then the demon prodigies wouldn't even have the ability to obtain ten essence souls, let alone deceive them at the Heavenly Ladder entrance. Wouldn't it be faster for the three of them to join forces to kill demon beasts to obtain essence souls?

So Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou took Jiang Shishi to kill a demon beast at the first opportunity to determine the strength of the demon beasts.

After confirming that they really only had Nascent Soul stage combat power, Meng Jingzhou immediately set off for the Heavenly Ladder entrance, leaving Lu Yang and Jiang Shishi behind.

To cover up, Lu Yang performed the Tree Planting Technique and the Zoomorphic Fist, changing his clone into Meng Jingzhou's appearance.

Later, Lu Yang noticed Qin Feng hiding in the dark and decided to play along, superficially fabricating a door-blocking plan, while secretly using spiritual sense transmission to inform Jiang Shishi of the real plan.

Only then did Jiang Shishi show anxiety and excitement. If it were her, let alone thinking of it in the shortest time, she wouldn't have thought of it even if given ten days.

Is this the wisdom of human prodigies?

Lu Yang and Jiang Shishi killed demon beasts step by step and deliberately arrived at the Heavenly Ladder entrance a bit late.

This led to the previous scene.

"Fellow Daoist Qin Feng has worked hard. I'll accept these essence souls." Meng Jingzhou stood on the edge of the box and laughed loudly. The essence souls were strung together and tied to his body like a zongzi, making people jealous.

These were the essence souls accumulated by all the prodigies over ten days!

"Bastard!" Qin Feng was furious and turned into his original form, the Jiuying. The Jiuying has nine heads and one body, and all nine heads look like pitch-black giant snakes.

His eighteen eyes were blood-red, almost dripping blood.

The door-blocking plan was suggested by him to the prodigies of the Demon Alliance, which was why he could logically occupy the initiative.

Now that the plan had overturned and was used by the other side, with no essence souls left, the prodigies of the Demon Alliance would definitely vent their anger on him.

Even if he had a Tribulation Transcendence stage ancestor covering him, he absolutely couldn't block the anger of these tribes.

"Give the essence souls back!" Qin Feng roared, and the nine snake heads rushed toward Meng Jingzhou together. Meng Jingzhou had long anticipated this unwise move of Qin Feng, stepped aside, and dodged it.

Seeing this, the prodigies of the Demon Alliance knew they had been played by Meng Jingzhou, so they also revealed their true demon forms and rushed toward Meng Jingzhou.

They couldn't just get not a single essence soul and fail to pass the first layer!

Ao Yue had thunder in his palm, considering whether to take action to snatch them.

Their essence souls were also on Meng Jingzhou.

At this time, Jiang Shishi walked over and stopped Ao Yue.

She pointed at the jumping Meng Jingzhou and said: "This is my ally. We had long anticipated that the Demon Alliance would have this move and laid an ambush in advance. Junior Brother Ao Yue, rest assured, and fellow Daoists, please rest assured. Our move is only aimed at the Demon Alliance. After he escapes, he will give each of you ten essence souls to ensure that you can successfully enter the second layer."

This was also the rhetoric she and Lu Yang had discussed in advance.

From the perspective of Ao Yue and the others, they didn't know that Qin Feng had been deceived by Lu Yang and the others, and would only think that Lu Yang and the three were more skilled, calculated Qin Feng's move, hid in the box, and upheld justice.

Ao Yue and the others had regained what they lost and wouldn't ask for more essence souls; ten were enough.

In this way, Lu Yang and the three not only gained fame but also the most essence souls.

Jiang Shishi felt that it was fortunate the elder had foresight and agreed to the proposal of joining forces; otherwise, she would only have been able to get a pitiful ten essence souls.

Sometimes she felt lingering fear when thinking about it. These two human prodigies were too calculating. No wonder the elder always said her cultivation talent was enough, but her mind was lacking. So it was lacking here.

"Thank you, Young Master Jiang!" Seeing Jiang Shishi so generous, the prodigies were moved to tears.

Ao Yue always felt something was wrong, but now was not the time to think about it. The people of the Demon Alliance had bullied them so miserably just now; why not take the opportunity to fight back?

"Fellow Daoists, let's take action together to help this kind-hearted fellow Daoist get out of trouble!"

Ao Yue turned into his green dragon true form, the dragon ball bloomed with thunder, accompanied by a dragon roar, waved his dragon claws, and attacked wantonly in the Demon Alliance.

Seeing this, the demon prodigies also rushed toward the Demon Alliance one by one, howling.

The Demon Alliance, while chasing Meng Jingzhou, had to deal with the attacks of Ao Yue and other demons, plus their distrust of Qin Feng and refusal to follow orders, quickly collapsed and fled in panic.

"How is it, Miss Jiang? Joining forces with us two isn't a loss, right?" Lu Yang said with a smile. After arriving at the Heavenly Ladder entrance, he hadn't taken action at all, and everything developed just as he expected.

Especially watching Meng Jingzhou jumping up and down to avoid attacks, like a monkey, while he rested safely in the back, he felt even more comfortable.

"Indeed not a loss." Jiang Shishi nodded. Not just not a loss, this was a huge profit. Although things in the Ancient Realm couldn't be told to the outside world, the prodigies knew in their hearts that this wave of behavior alone could raise her status in the hearts of the prodigies to a higher level.

The Demon Alliance scattered and fled in all directions. The rules didn't say you couldn't kill people. If you died in the Ancient Realm, and the Ancient Realm rules forbade telling people about things here, then no one would avenge you if you died.

Meng Jingzhou safely found Lu Yang and Jiang Shishi, panting with exhaustion. Seeing Lu Yang's calm and composed appearance, he knew he had picked up a bitter job again.

No way, who told him he couldn't do the Tree Planting Technique and the Zoomorphic Fist.

According to the agreement, Meng Jingzhou gave all the prodigies ten essence souls each, and the three of them divided the remaining eight hundred essence souls.

Everyone searched for a long time but couldn't find the place to hand over the essence souls. Ao Yue tentatively stepped onto the Heavenly Ladder, ten essence souls were absorbed by the Heavenly Ladder, and he was also teleported to the second layer. Only then did everyone understand how to pass the first layer.

One after another, everyone lined up to enter the second layer, leaving only the prodigies of the Demon Alliance hiding not far away.

Seeing that Lu Yang and the others had all gone up, Qin Feng also wanted to enter the second layer, but he didn't have a single essence soul on him, and a barrier appeared in front of the Heavenly Ladder, blocking him.

The last grain of sand in the hourglass fell, ten days ended, and all the prodigies of the Demon Alliance were teleported outside the Ancient Realm.

"Qin Feng, it's all your fault!"

The prodigies of the Demon Alliance instantly turned red-eyed. The Ancient Realm of Creation had boundless opportunities, yet they didn't get a single bit of benefit.

"Elder, save me!"

Qin Feng was so scared that he hurriedly hid behind the guardian.

Only then did he notice that the atmosphere was a bit wrong, or rather solemn, as if the eyes of all tribes were placed on their Jiuying tribe intentionally or unintentionally, and it was not out of kindness.

What happened here?

The second update is at eleven o'clock.
