Mortal Seeking Immortal

Chapter 393 Ye Zhou arrives late

But when the Taoist of Ten Thousand Poisons came back, he was in a very bad state, with a weak breath on his body, and was obviously seriously injured. The small green gourd that the Sixth Elder gave him to collect the souls of the demon cultivators was also lost. So the number of demon cultivators captured by the Taoist of Ten Thousand Poisons was zero.

The Sixth Elder's eyes were filled with disappointment. Old Man Dan beside the hall had determined that the Sixth Elder had no chance of turning the tables.

Baili Chen, who rushed back after the Taoist of Ten Thousand Poisons, had a flash of surprise in his eyes when he saw the Taoist of Ten Thousand Poisons.

The person he sent out clearly said that he had already dealt with the Taoist of Ten Thousand Poisons, so why did he come back again? Could it be that this person had some means to save his life?

In order to prevent the Taoist Wan Du from noticing anything, Baili Chen hurriedly concealed the surprise in his eyes, and hurriedly approached the Taoist Wan Du with a concerned look and asked softly: "Brother Wan Du, what's wrong with you? Why are you so dirty? Were you robbed by a group of demon cultivators?"

The Taoist Wan Du glanced at Baili Chen coldly, with a prying look in his eyes.

More than a month ago, the Taoist Wan Du had just left the sect after accepting the mission, and was suddenly attacked by a demon cultivator with a higher cultivation level than him.

Fortunately, the Taoist Wan Du was always very careful when he went out, and successfully resolved the attack of the demon cultivator and threw him away.

However, the demon cultivator seemed to be entangled with the Taoist Wan Du since then. For more than a month, he has been haunting him and has repeatedly tried to kill the Taoist Wan Du. No matter how the Taoist Wan Du tried to hide his breath, it was useless.

More than half a month ago, the Taoist of Ten Thousand Poisons saw that the demon cultivator had not attacked him for several days, and thought that he had gotten rid of the demon cultivator. He was preparing to complete the task, but the demon cultivator took the opportunity to sneak attack the Taoist of Ten Thousand Poisons while he was fighting with others, causing the Taoist of Ten Thousand Poisons to be seriously injured and on the verge of death.

Fortunately, the Taoist of Ten Thousand Poisons practiced a special technique, and at the critical moment he activated the technique and pretended to be dead to save his life.

When the demon cultivator saw that the Taoist of Ten Thousand Poisons was dead, he did not destroy the body, but looted his storage bag and the green gourd that imprisoned the demon cultivator's soul.

After the demon cultivator left, the Taoist of Ten Thousand Poisons was seriously injured and had no elixir to heal his wounds, so he had to find a secluded place to recover some spiritual power. This had used up all the remaining time, and he had no time to kill the demon cultivator, so he had to rush back to the sect to report.

Although his life was saved this time, Wan Du Daoist knew very well that if he did not kill the demon cultivator, it meant that he had lost the opportunity to compete with Ye Zhou for the position of the Sixth Elder's direct disciple.

On the way back, Wan Du Daoist had been guessing who sent the demon cultivator to kill him. He did not think that the demon cultivator would attack him for no reason. There must be someone behind the scenes instructing him.

Since Wan Du Daoist entered the Spirit Beast Sect, he has been following the Sixth Elder. He rarely goes out on weekdays, so he has not offended other people in the sect.

And Baili Chen and Ye Zhou are in competition with him this time, so they are the most suspicious. Wan Du Daoist guessed that the murderer must be one of them.

Colluding with demon cultivators and killing fellow disciples, no matter which of the two crimes of the Spirit Beast Sect disciples, they will be severely punished by the Spirit Beast Sect.

Wan Du Daoist wanted to report the matter to the Sixth Elder, but he had no evidence that the demon cultivators colluded with them.

Furthermore, this matter concerns the quota of direct disciples. If he reports this to the Sixth Elder, the Sixth Elder may mistakenly think that he wants to frame Baili Chen and Ye Zhou.

At that time, the Sixth Elder will not only not believe what he said, but may also punish him for it, so the Taoist Wan Du had to swallow his anger temporarily, and investigate secretly later, collect evidence and report it to the Sixth Elder.

At this time, the old man Dan, who was sitting on the side, saw that two of the three registered disciples sent by the Sixth Elder had returned, and couldn't help but say: "Little Six, the time is almost up now, why don't we count the number of demon cultivators killed by the other disciples while waiting for your direct disciple who has not returned yet."

The Sixth Elder nodded helplessly and agreed. After seeing that the Taoist Wan Du didn't even kill a demon cultivator, he no longer had any hope of turning the tables.

The Sixth Elder raised his hand and simultaneously shot two fist-sized red beads to the left and right sides of the hall. The beads grew dozens of times in an instant and turned into two red shields about ten feet high.

Old Man Dan ordered his direct disciples standing behind him: "Put all the souls of the demon cultivators you killed into the red shields."

The direct disciples of both sides stepped forward one by one and put the demon cultivator souls in the green gourds into the red shields in front of their respective teams.

In a short while, all the demon cultivator souls in the hands of the disciples of both sides had been put into the shields. Although Baili Chen killed dozens of demon cultivators, the number of demon cultivator souls between the two sides was still more than a hundred.

The Sixth Elder no longer expected Ye Zhou to kill more than a hundred demon cultivators alone. Under the smug eyes of Old Man Dan, he took out a bell-shaped Jindan realm magic weapon from the storage ring and was about to hand it to Old Man Dan.

At this moment, a figure rode a sword to the outside of the hall and stepped into the hall in full view of everyone. It was Ye Zhou!

When Baili Chen saw Ye Zhou, he was shocked. How could Ye Zhou come back alive? ! Could it be that he didn't do that mission?

Ye Zhou didn't notice the shock in Baili Chen's eyes. He bowed respectfully to the Sixth Elder. After seeing the souls of the demon cultivators placed in the two red shields, he knew that the total number had begun to be counted.

Ye Zhou took out the green gourd from his arms, looked at the Sixth Elder hesitantly and asked: "Master, I wonder if the demon cultivators killed by my disciple still count?"

The Sixth Elder looked at the sky. Although the time was not up yet, he didn't think that Ye Zhou alone could make him turn the tables.

Just when the Sixth Elder was about to ask Ye Zhou to stand aside, he heard Old Man Dan say with a smile on his face: "Since your last registered disciple has returned, let him release the souls of the demon cultivators he killed. After all, we can't let you lose too badly."

If it was a direct disciple who came back at this time, perhaps Old Man Dan would still be worried.

But the one who came back was Ye Zhou, a registered disciple with a cultivation level of only the middle stage of foundation building. He didn't take it seriously. He was sure that the number of demon cultivators killed by Ye Zhou was only a few dozen, and it was impossible to turn the tables.

After hearing this, the Sixth Elder also wanted to see how many demon cultivators Ye Zhou had killed. After all, he wanted to choose one of Ye Zhou and Baili Chen to be his direct disciple, so naturally he would choose the one who killed more demon cultivators.

For a moment, everyone in the hall focused their attention on Ye Zhou. Ye Zhou opened the green gourd calmly, and a green light came out of the mouth of the gourd. The souls of the demon cultivators contained in the gourd flew out one after another.

Baili Chen, who was standing aside, didn't care about Ye Zhou. According to his guess, if Ye Zhou had not done that task, the number of demon cultivators he killed would be no more than twenty. How could it be compared with the more than sixty demon cultivators he killed?
