Qin Yu stood on the teleportation array and scanned his surroundings. There was a hint of suspicion between his brows. He had thought that the training grounds were in the Hundred Thousand Mountains around Manjoo Zhanmu, but judging from the surroundings, that was not the case.
This place was more like an independent space, like a mystic realm or a small world.
"Junior Brother Qin, take care of yourself. Remember not to miss the time to leave. Time is of the essence, so we'll be leaving first."
Chu Yuechan said and left. Although she wanted Qin Yu to join the team, she did not make the decision this time. Moreover, they were going to enter the forbidden area this time. If Qin Yu followed, she would not be able to divert her attention to Qin Yu, so she did not force him.
After watching Chu Yuechan leave, Qin Yu took out the map that Chu Yuechan had given him. Looking at the stone tablet next to the teleportation array, he confirmed his current position. They were in the northern part of this space.
"Junior Brother Qin, where are we going now?" Zhang Yiwen stood beside Qin Yu and looked around. He could not help but ask.
Qin Yu did not answer. After memorizing the entire map, Qin Yu glanced at the light screen above and said, "We are in the safe zone …" Before Qin Yu could finish his sentence, his gaze was fixed on the light screen of the array that had suddenly appeared. Just then, a malicious voice rang out.
"Junior Brothers and Sisters, let's not waste time on useless words. Everyone must hand over 20 contribution points to leave this array.
Time is limited. We will only wait for two hours. After two hours, if you do not hand over your contribution points, you will have to wait here for a year. "
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, and saw seven disciples wearing black robes and masks standing outside the light screen. The one who had spoken was one of them.
There were still more than three hundred disciples around the teleportation array. If each of them were to hand over twenty contribution points, that would mean six thousand contribution points. These seven people had quite a big appetite. They actually wanted to rely on the trial grounds to make a fortune.
"Haha, how arrogant! You dare to rob us with just this formation?" Some disciples were so angry that they laughed.
"Twenty contribution points?
Why don't you go rob them instead? Fellow brothers, follow me and break this formation. We'll capture these five and hand them over to the sect for punishment. "
"Attack together. Capture these five people and hand them over to the sect for punishment!"
More than three hundred disciples were filled with righteous indignation. One after another, they took out their spirit weapons and began to madly attack the light screen. Who would have thought that instead of encountering the ferocious beasts, they would be robbed by the disciples of the sect? This made every disciple extremely angry.
"Damn, I think these five people have gone crazy from wanting contribution points. They actually dare to do such a shameless thing." Zhang Yiwen's face was filled with anger as he shouted. He took out a spirit sword and began to attack.
His anger was not an act. Last time, when Qin Yu asked him to buy the map of the trial grounds, he had spent fifteen contribution points. Now, he only had eighteen points on him, and he needed twenty points to leave … This meant that if he did not break the formation, he would not be able to enter the trial grounds. In this way … how could he get the spirit art from Qin Yu?
How could this not make him angry?
Qin Yu's gaze swept around, but he did not attack. These seven people had waited for Chu Yuechan and the other young experts to leave before activating the formation. It was obvious that they had been prepared. Therefore, Qin Yu could be sure that this formation was not simple. It would be difficult for these three hundred disciples to break it.
However, at least one of them was in the formation.
Those seven people seemed to have a card up their sleeves. They all sat cross-legged and waited, allowing the disciples trapped in the formation to madly attack.
"This formation is a Level Five formation. Only those above the Spiritual Infant Tier can break it. I advise you not to waste your Ultimate Essence. Otherwise, even if you come out, you won't have the strength to fight those ferocious beasts outside," a masked disciple said mockingly.
"Level Five formation?"
All the disciples' expressions changed drastically. Some disciples already felt that they were being wronged. It was very difficult for them to break a Level Five formation. If they wasted time here, it would be unwise. It would be better to hand over their contribution points and leave this place as soon as possible.
"I … I'm willing to hand over my contribution points!" Soon, a disciple spoke up. His face was filled with unwillingness.
With the first, there would be a second. More and more disciples gave up on attacking, willing to pay to avoid disaster.
Qin Yu glanced at the disciple who spoke first, and a glint flashed through his eyes. However, Qin Yu didn't speak immediately. Instead, he continued to wait.
A person who seemed to be the leader of the seven stepped forward and said to the disciple who spoke first, "A wise man submits to circumstances. You're very good, so I'll exempt your contribution points. However, you need to help me collect everyone's contribution points. Oh, right, the first hundred only need 15 contribution points to break free."
The disciple who spoke up flushed red and nodded vigorously.
"I'll hand over my contribution points first!
I'll do it! "
"I'm also willing to pay."
"Don't push, I came first."
The disciples who were filled with righteous indignation earlier were all in chaos. They all fought to be the first to pay their contribution points. Even Zhang Yiwen joined in.
"Junior Brother Qin, what are you standing there for?
Hurry up and line up, don't fall behind. Otherwise, you'll have to pay five more points. "
Zhang Yiwen said anxiously when he saw Qin Yu standing there motionless. Previously, he had 20 points, but he only had 18 points, so he had participated in the attack. Now that the top 100 only needed 15 points, how could Zhang Yiwen resist?
Qin Yu stared at the masked youth who spoke up earlier. What Qin Yu didn't expect was that from the voice, this masked disciple was Tang Yiming, the one who bought the Raging Flame Pill formula. However, what Qin Yu didn't expect was that Tang Yiming was so stupid that he didn't even cover up his voice!
Although Qin Yu didn't inquire about Tang Yiming's background, he still called his Master 'Grandfather'. From this, it could be seen that Tang Yiming's status in the sect wasn't low. He didn't expect Tang Yiming to do such a despicable thing in the trial grounds.
"This is not a fifth-order array formation, but a fourth-order double-layered array formation. Everyone can join forces and attack the array formation."
After pondering for a moment, Qin Yu suddenly shouted. He and Tang Yiming had already formed a grudge, and with Tang Yiming's vengeful personality, there would be no end to it. It would be better to start now and break him down step by step.
Qin Yu's voice was loud and clear. Those disciples who were still hesitating and unwilling suddenly had their eyes light up. Qin Yu pointed at the weakest point of the array formation and shouted, "Attack this place with me?"
As he spoke, Qin Yu took out a spirit sword and directly pierced it towards the weakest point.
In an instant, the sky was filled with spirit swords. Everyone attacked the place that Qin Yu pointed at. The disciples who were already in line were surprised, but they didn't attack.
Weng!
Under the collective attack of everyone, the array formation emitted a buzzing sound. The light curtain shook, and there were faint signs of it breaking.
"The array formation is about to break, everyone attack together!"
Although he was surprised that Qin Yu could tell that this was a fourth-order array formation, Zhang Yiwen was ecstatic when he felt that the array formation was about to break. If he could save 15 contribution points, then so be it!
Zhang Yiwen's shout attracted the attention of those disciples who wanted to wait and see.
The seven black-robed and masked disciples all stood up and glared at Qin Yu. They couldn't wait to cut Qin Yu into pieces.
"Let's go!"
Tang Yiming glared at Qin Yu with hatred and suddenly shouted in a low voice. If the array formation broke, they would only be torn apart by this group of angry disciples. Even if they could escape, their identities would be exposed. Once their identities were exposed, Manjoo Zhanmu would have no place to stay.
The departure of the seven people caused the disciples to attack even harder.
Soon, under the frenzied attacks of the crowd, the fourth-order array formation broke into pieces. The crowd burst into cheers and scattered.
Qin Yu took the opportunity to run in the direction that Chu Yuechan and the rest had left. Since Chu Xiong had come here once, then he must have some understanding of the forbidden area. It could also be said that the forbidden area was especially attractive to Chu Xiong.
"Wait for me, Junior Brother Qin. Why are you running so fast?" The sharp-eyed Zhang Yiwen saw that Qin Yu was running so fast, so he ran as fast as he could.
Qin Yu's speed was extremely fast because he wanted to shake off Zhang Yiwen. Zhang Yiwen definitely had other intentions. After entering the training grounds, one could encounter danger at any time. Qin Yu didn't want to be on guard against Zhang Yiwen. The reason why he only got rid of him after entering the training grounds was to let him fend for himself in the training grounds.
Zhang Yiwen chased for close to 15 minutes. When he left the area covered by the huge array formation, he couldn't see Qin Yu's figure at all.
Zhang Yiwen's face was full of surprise. "How can he be so fast?
How long has it been since he stepped into the Heavenly Tempering Stage? "
"Wait!"
