Meng Chen threw the token in front of Monk Huikong, causing his mood that had gradually calmed down to beat violently again.
"These tokens...how do you have so many?"
With trembling hands, he picked up the storage bag and saw the token inside, his face full of shock.
"You...how do you have so many tokens?" he said in disbelief.
Meng Chen sneered: "There are eleven pieces here that you all worked hard to collect before. Xiao Yicheng hid them quietly, and I took them away from him quietly. When he said that the token was lost, you didn't even search for it. His body is really weird.”
Meng Chen's sarcasm and ridicule were not concealed at all, which made Monk Huikong feel ashamed.
"There is a reason for that. Even if he really took it, I don't want to kill him." Huikong said bitterly.
"Oh? That means your Majesty the Empress has lost her kingdom in vain, right? I think your loyalty is nothing more than this. Huang Wujin really misjudged you!" Meng Chen said sarcastically.
Monk Huikong sighed and said bitterly: "Xiao Yicheng's brother saved our lives. If it hadn't been for him, we and even His Majesty might have died in that desperate place..."
Meng Chen stared: "So it is your Majesty's intention to indulge Xiao Yicheng?"
Huikong shook his head: "Your Majesty doesn't care much about Xiao Yicheng's affairs."
Meng Chen understood that although he didn't say permission, he tacitly allowed them to do this. Since Huang Wujin didn't take her country seriously, he didn't have to worry about it for her.
He frowned slightly, but still had that weird feeling. Huang Wujin seemed to be very concerned about this competition, but he didn't seem to care that much...
"Congratulations to the Red Phoenix Immortal Dynasty team for taking the lead in collecting eighteen tokens and winning the first stage of the competition!"
"Eighteen tokens combined into one can be rewarded, the best innate spiritual treasure, the Ten Thousand Dao Yuan Haoding!"
The eighteen tokens in Monk Huikong's hand emitted golden light at the same time. After a roar, they suddenly gathered together and turned into a beam of light that shot straight into the sky.
After a moment, Huikong felt his hands sink, and a three-legged tripod fell into his hands. The tripod was painted with simple and complex runes, mixed with totems of birds, animals, insects and fish. The divine light was restrained and solemn.
After Huikong got the Ten Thousand Daoyuan Haoding, he immediately looked at Meng Chen: "Donor Meng Chen, since you collected the tokens, then these Ten Thousand Daoyuan Haoding should be yours."
Of course Meng Chen would not be polite and could only say that Monk Huikong knew the situation, otherwise he would definitely take the cauldron back later.
After Meng Chen got it, he quickly checked to prevent any marks remaining. Fortunately, there was nothing inside and it was very clean.
Outside the secret realm, the representatives of the Zheng family, the Wang family, the Li family, and the Cui family all had pale faces. The foreign aid they invited, namely the monks from the Sanxuan Heavenly Realm, did not even compete with the people sent by the Empress!
The representative of the Zheng family had a dark face and gritted his teeth and said: "Seniors, may I ask why the winners are those mud-legged ones from the Eastern Phoenix Region?"
Representatives of the four major families now want to figure out this problem and why this is the result. After all, the price they paid was extremely huge, almost half of the family was sacrificed.
The monks and companions of the Xufa Clan looked at each other, and they were also a little at a loss. The ones they brought were all the best among the younger generation of San Xuantian. They wouldn't lose in the first stage, right?
However, the top priority is to appease the representatives of the four major families. The monks of the Xufa family can only use their cultivation to start exploring the situation in the secret territory. After a while, his expression gradually softened, and there was even a smile on his face.
"Everyone, please be patient. Although they won the first stage, this competition is not a best-of-three game, but a duel. Only the living talents are qualified to win the final victory!"
The old man from the Zheng family said angrily: "I didn't win the first stage, so what about the second stage?"
The monks from the Void Law Clan were waiting for him to say this, and snorted coldly: "Although they were the first to collect all the tokens, they paid a heavy price for eight people! And we only lost three people! That is, Speaking of the subsequent duel, they need four versus nine! In terms of numbers alone, we are the absolute superior side!”
The representatives of the four major families brightened up after hearing this. If this was the case, the outcome seemed to have been doomed.
They were able to kill eight people from the Red Phoenix Immortal Dynasty in the first stage, so in the subsequent duel with an absolute numerical advantage, how could the Red Phoenix Immortal Dynasty win? There's no chance of winning at all, right?
The nervous and fearful expressions of the four people dissipated, they breathed a long sigh of relief, and returned to their relaxed and indifferent postures.
On the flying boat of the Red Phoenix Immortal Dynasty, Huang Qi looked solemn. Eight people died in the first stage. This news was like a bolt from the blue to him, but he had no way to intervene in the things inside, so he could only sigh quietly.
After all, these people have been trained by His Majesty through hard work over the years. To be so unfit for reuse is indeed a failure to live up to His Majesty's expectations.
Next is the duel between the monks. This will be a competition that determines the future and fate of the Red Phoenix Immortal Dynasty. If His Majesty has no other arrangements, he can only leave it to fate!
He doesn't have much hope for Huikong and Zhou Chao now, after all, their previous performance was really unsatisfactory.
In the secret realm, Huikong and Zhou Quan, who was seriously injured, were resting and recovering from their injuries.
Huikong went in to look for the token and paid a lot of price, and his current condition is not very good.
The voice of the secret realm came again after half an hour: "In the second stage of the battle, both sides enter the realm of life and death and fight with all their strength until no one on the other side is left alive."
Meng Chen was startled when he heard this. He thought it would be the same as last time, drawing lots to decide the opponent, but he didn't expect that there would be a big melee in one place.
Since then, the advantage of the large number of people in Sanxuan Heaven Realm has been fully utilized!
Of course, it would be better if those people had the same mental problems as Long Teng and agreed to challenge him to a duel.
Meng Chen thought this way and was determined to give it a try if he saw the monks from the Sanxuan Heaven Realm.
While they were stunned, the sky in the secret territory suddenly changed. The originally gray sky was suddenly covered in blood. The entire sky turned blood red, like a sea of blood, which could overturn at any time.
Affected by the sky, the scene on the ground is also changing. The originally plain sandy land, under the influence of the blood-colored sky, actually adds a sense of death. Looking from a distance, the undulating sand dunes look like waves of blood. , revealing a cold and strange feeling.
"Buzz!"
A black rune flashed in the sky and continued to expand. After dozens of breaths, an area with a radius of thousands of miles was sealed off.
"The competition will begin in one day. The monks from both sides are invited to enter the realm of life and death. No action is allowed before it begins!"
