When Zhu Jiu heard that there was a visitor, his eyes lit up, he nodded and asked the maid to invite him in.
After a while, footsteps were heard outside, and the door of the living room was gently knocked politely and then gently pushed open.
A well-kept, slightly fat, dignified old man wearing dark yellow attire appeared behind the door.
The old man stood at the door and looked at Yan Kaiweiou and Zhu Jiu in the room. Finally, he met Zhu Jiu's gaze and introduced himself in a deep voice:
"I am the third prince of the Demonic Corpse Kingdom's royal family among the five empires under the abyss, and my surname is Tang. I am here today to pay a visit to the most talented young cultivator of the Corpse God Way."
Zhu Jiu stood up and asked the old man to sit aside, and asked directly:
"Prince Tang is too polite. I wonder why the prince came here?"
Prince Tang gently narrowed his eyes, with a slight smile on his fat face and said:
"Young Master Zhu probably doesn't know that our Demonic Corpse Kingdom is directly under the Corpse Divine Dao, so I am the first among the five empires to come to Young Master Zhu. I have only one purpose of visiting, which is to invest in people with potential in advance.
We have made good friends, and I am not asking for anything in return. I just hope that if the young master grows up smoothly in the future, he will support and help us in turn."
Zhu Jiu had no expression on his face, glanced at Yan Kai and Wei Ou beside him, and raised his hand to signal Prince Tang to continue.
Prince Tang nodded and continued:
"Before we came here, we already knew that Master Zhu was the leader among the disciples of the Corpse God Way. Master Zhu has shown his sharpness in recent times and is one of the most powerful competitors for the young Abyss King of the entire generation of Abyss. So we are going to start with Master Zhu."
I have made a big bet on you, not only will I make offerings every year in the future, but I will also try my best to meet all your requests."
Zhu Jiu nodded in thought. These people came to the door without any hesitation. It was obviously an act allowed by the sect. In this case, there was no need to avoid taboos. After thinking about it, he said bluntly:
"What have you prepared?"
Prince Tang smiled confidently and said:
"We have prepared a lot of property for others in advance, but Master Zhu is different. We hope that you will ask for it yourself. We will prepare it as quickly as possible and then send it back to Master Zhu."
Yan Kai and Wei Ou next to them had bright eyes and looked at Zhu Jiu with envy.
Zhu Jiu said directly without thinking:
"Do you have the ability to capture ghosts and evil spirits?"
Prince Tang was stunned for a moment and then said decisively:
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhu. There are many cultivators who are willing to enjoy the glory of the mortal world. We worship this matter. Although this matter is not easy, we will still try our best. When the second round of the competition is over, I will come again. If there is nothing else
Tell me, I will go and prepare now."
Zhu Jiu nodded lightly, stood up and saw each other off until they were outside the door before turning back.
Afterwards, he and Yan Kai and Weiou had a casual chat for a while, and they also got up and left.
In the following three days, major empires came to contact them one after another. Depending on the situation, Zhu Jiu either declined or directly asked for ghost objects.
Catching ghosts is a difficult task that many small and medium-sized countries are unable to attempt. In the end, only six countries dared to comply with Zhu Jiu's request and set a date for another visit.
It is worth mentioning that apart from the five great empires, the other one that dared to comply with Zhu Jiu's request turned out to be a small country with a very small population.
The reason why this small country dares to boast that it can capture evil spirits and ghosts is because most of its country is deep mountains and old forests. There is an ancient ruins in it, which are full of ghosts and evil spirits. This small country has been fighting against ghosts for a long time.
He had special experience in catching ghosts, so he dared to take risks and agreed to Zhu Jiu's request.
Three days passed by in a flash, and the day for the second round of competition came. All the disciples from the four sects who passed the first round of competition gathered in the Dou Fa Hall.
At this time, everyone got a second round of large task instructions in their hands.
Zhu Jiu lowered his head and read the explanation. It said that this world is huge and boundless, and there are countless known races. There are frequent battles among these races to compete for cultivation resources.
The human race has been engaged in fierce wars with various races from ancient times to the present.
The mission this time is to transport all the more than 200 elite disciples in the sect who participated in the second round of the competition to the realm of a race that has a feud with humans to experience the bloody hunting first-hand.
The decisive method is to determine the winner based on the number of enemies hunted within ten days. The six people with the most hunted enemies and the highest strength will automatically enter the next round of the competition.
During the process, disciples are strictly prohibited from killing each other, nor are they allowed to go together with each other, and are required to complete tasks independently.
You have to rush to a special teleportation location within ten days to be able to return in time. If you are late, you may lose the opportunity to come back forever.
The instructions also provide a detailed introduction to the mission hunting targets, the living habits of the enemy groups, their strengths and weaknesses, and other information in great detail. There are even atlases of hundreds of common creatures and plants in the area, all of which are available.
Zhu Jiu read the mission request and was slightly shocked. It was so difficult for the human race in this world to survive, and they had been fighting for countless years since ancient times.
The difficulty of this mission was far beyond Zhu Jiu's imagination. Being able to become rivals with many human cultivators in this world, the strength of the hostile race is self-evident.
It is difficult to transport Zhu Jiu and his disciples who have not yet debuted into the opponent's sphere of influence to experience the bloodshed, and to launch a hunting mission in the enemy's home field. No wonder these two rounds of competition are called bloody trials.
After these disciples finished reading the task description at hand, several old men in the sect worked together to sacrifice the magical weapons and arranged them on the fighting stage to form a shining space teleportation portal.
The void portal is several feet in size, with black light surging on the surface, as if covered with a deep layer of black mist. It is similar to the interface door opened by Yan Yaksha when Zhu Jiu first entered the dead world of demon corpses, which conveyed a wild and primitive feeling.
The thick aura gives people a feeling of coexistence of corrosion and darkness.
Immediately, someone gave each disciple who entered the void portal a jade recording tablet to record the number and level of enemies killed.
Zhu Jiu followed the crowd and moved towards the space portal on the fighting stage. At the same time, he observed the team of more than 200 disciples and found that there were several opponents who stood out and deserved attention.
Among them, there are two members of the Blood River Sword Sect. The first one is a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy who stands in front of all the disciples.
Stained with a trace of worldly dust.
When Zhu Jiuyi saw this young man's eyes, he knew that he must be a genius who practiced magic very quickly. A person with such pure eyes must be extremely focused, and there is no reason why he should not be unhappy in learning Falun Dafa.
The second young man from the Blood River Sword Sect was even more weird. He was standing behind the first young man. It seemed that the two of them had a good personal relationship. The young man looked a little abnormally pale. When Zhu Jiu observed him, he found that this man actually
He has always kept his eyes closed and has never opened them. There is always a sharp murderous intention on his body, and he is definitely a formidable enemy.
There was another young man in a silver robe, with a fair complexion and a handsome and enchanting appearance. Even ordinary women rarely have such an appearance.
This young man was polite to everyone. When he saw Zhu Jiu turn his eyes, he immediately nodded gently, his attitude was extremely humble.
There is another Demon Sect woman with a black veil on her face and an extremely mysterious aura. If you don't look at it with your eyes, you won't even notice her existence.
There are also a few people who have restrained their auras and cannot be observed from Zhu Jiu's position, and they feel that they are also extremely dangerous people.
While Zhu Jiu was sizing up these people, they were also sizing up each other. Everyone had full confidence in their eyes. Only the boy with closed eyes from the Blood River Sword Sect never opened his eyes.
The gazes of the most outstanding young people from the four abyss sects as they looked at each other electrified the air, as if electric sparks flashed between their gazes. The meaning of competition was very obvious.
Later, several people began to enter the space portal one after another and disappeared into the main peak Dou Fa Hall. The bloody trial officially began!
