221: The foundation-building monk takes action

Everyone took action, and once again, a large number of green Souls appeared in the sky.

This time, it was clearly the Foundation Establishment Cultivators who were acting. Once a Foundation Establishment Cultivator takes action, a large number of Qi Training Cultivators die, so there was nothing for the Qi Training Cultivators to do.

Because Tang Tian was a member of the Qing Huai Fox Clan, he was spared.

Tang Tian discovered that, apart from those in the Qing Huai Fox Clan who had bad luck and fell into the water, very few others were killed.

The other eight clans were the same: Snake, Rat, Wolf, Pig, Man Niu Clan, Jiaolong Clan, Flying Eagle Clan, and Crane Clan. Tang Tian felt a deep wariness toward them.

However, they were very measured in their attacks and basically would not attack these few clans; those killed by them were all people from the fifty clans who had already gone mad.

Seeing that the Water Monkeys and Jiaolong on both sides were getting stronger and stronger, no one dared to stop killing, because whichever side stopped, the other side would become stronger.

Although those who died were not human Cultivators, Tang Tian still felt somewhat uncomfortable; after all, the thirty thousand Cultivators present had already been reduced to twenty thousand.

The ground was covered in exploded blood, the sky was full of green Souls, and the terrain on both sides was constantly shrinking; even the Foundation Establishment Cultivators were left tense and on edge by being toyed with.

At this moment, a connection appeared between the two terrains: a bridge made of green Souls.

The connected terrain was very large.

The significance of this bridge appearing at such a critical moment was self-evident.

Everyone had one more chance to choose between the Water Monkeys and the Jiaolong...

A large amount of green Soul energy flowed across the bridge, and it looked as if it could collapse at any moment.

Everyone was running toward the terrain on the Jiaolong side, as that side had the most terrain left.

As for the Jiaolong not being strong enough, killing a few more people would suffice.

Everyone was running onto the bridge, and because they were afraid that killing more people here would increase the strength of the Water Monkeys, everyone was unexpectedly harmonious.

They only knocked them away.

Because Fourth Senior Sister's Zhou Tian Sword Formation was there, Tang Tian easily reached the Jiaolong area.

Lady Qingmu's bridge did not restrict how many people could cross, and even the people from the fifty clans who were mentally crazed were surging toward this side.

But Tang Tian knew that Lady Qingmu would not let them cross so easily.

Sure enough, after the five clans—Fox, Snake, Rat, Wolf, and Pig—crossed, the giant bridge of green Souls began to dissipate.

The more than two thousand Cultivators who failed to run across in time were directly drowned.

Indeed, these five clans—Fox, Snake, Rat, Wolf, and Pig—were truly Lady Qingmu's favorites, while the other clans were just ordinary.

Now, there was not a single Cultivator left on the Water Monkey side, and the Souls of those Cultivators in their hands, because they died on the bridge...

the Souls returned to Lady Qingmu.

Tang Tian saw this scene and sighed, thinking to himself:

It is fortunate that they did not go directly to the Water Monkeys; otherwise, another pile of Cultivators would have to be killed here. With two thousand five hundred Cultivators' Souls, half of the Cultivators on this side would have to die.

Besides, there are only sixteen thousand Cultivators here in total; I have a forty percent chance of being killed.

If the Water Monkeys go berserk and kill a bunch of Jiaolong, causing the terrain to disappear, then fewer than ten thousand people will survive on this side.

Souls generally belong to Heaven, and since Lady Qingmu could contend with Heaven for profit, she was indeed an evil god, just like the Soul-Devouring Sword.

Tang Tian already understood the information on the scene, and those who could survive until now were no ordinary people.

They also understood all the information on the scene...

The Foundation Establishment Cultivators among the Fox, Snake, Rat, Wolf, and Pig clans exchanged glances.

They picked out dozens of Cultivators from the fifty clans and killed them on the spot to increase the strength of the Jiaolong.

This was to prevent the Jiaolong from not increasing in strength enough, which would lead to the terrain on the Jiaolong side disappearing randomly and affecting their own clans.

Those five Foundation Establishment Cultivators killed over a thousand Cultivators in a row, causing the Jiaolong to go berserk and finish off the remaining Water Monkeys.

Even if the Water Monkeys dove to the very bottom of the river, they were easily dealt with by the Jiaolong.

There were seven Jiaolong left on the scene, down from thirty; the battlefield was extremely tragic.

The entire river surface was covered in green Souls and blood, and the terrain in the area where the Water Monkeys were had disappeared.

Fourth Senior Sister retracted the Zhou Tian Sword Formation and said:

This year's competition is really interesting.

Tang Tian asked curiously:

Was last year's competition not interesting?

Fourth Senior Sister said:

In any case, it wasn't as interesting as this year.

Lady Qingmu said:

There are still fifteen thousand smart people serving me.

There were a total of thirty thousand Cultivators present, and half of them died; it could be called nothing less than cruel.

Lady Qingmu said:

You should receive your rewards.

Hearing Lady Qingmu's words, everyone's expressions became fanatical.

Even the Foundation Establishment Cultivators were no exception, but Fourth Senior Sister was as calm as an ancient well, while Su Xi's puppet acted fanatical on her behalf, its mouth displaying a fanatical expression.

But Su Xi was just watching with wide eyes.

This puppet had removed Lady Qingmu's curse on Su Xi and had the effect of exempting her from the curse.

Everyone's talent began to improve, and as an outsider, Tang Tian naturally could not enjoy this effect.

Tang Tian did not want to enjoy this effect either, and the same went for the external aid clans: Man Niu Clan, Jiaolong Clan, Flying Eagle Clan, and Crane Clan.

They did not receive a talent boost either, but they were also avoiding Lady Qingmu as much as possible...

The clans that accepted the talent boost knelt down collectively; the sea of people was quite spectacular. For a Qi Training Ninth Level Cultivator like Fourth Senior Sister, she could choose whether to kneel or not.

So Fourth Senior Sister did not kneel, while a Qi Refinement stage eight Cultivator like Su Xi knelt devoutly on the ground to receive the talent boost.

And the puppet on her head also knelt down with a devout expression.

Su Xi and her puppet were slowly becoming stronger, and that puppet even directly Cultivated a Spiritual Root.

It was actually a single Wood attribute Spiritual Root; Tang Tian felt that this puppet was even stronger than himself.

Tang Tian asked:

Fourth Senior Sister, how did you choose me to be Xi'er's Dao Companion?

Tang Tian felt that Su Xi was much stronger than him; choosing him as a Dao Companion didn't seem right.

Fourth Senior Sister said:

You are my Junior Brother, isn't that enough? Besides, you are also a Disciple brought back by Revered Master; isn't that enough?

Tang Tian only believed the latter part of Fourth Senior Sister's words.

Tang Tian asked:

Are the Disciples brought back by Chi Daizi very strong?

Fourth Senior Sister said:

Revered Master brought back me, First Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, and Third Senior Brother. You should know that the four Disciples from the fifth to the eighth Junior Brother take turns going down the mountain to capture them.

You and Senior Sister Liu are exceptions.

Hearing this, Tang Tian truly felt that his four Senior Brothers and Sisters were exceptionally mysterious. Tang Tian had known Fourth Senior Sister for four or five months.

Yet it was exactly the same as if he didn't know Fourth Senior Sister at all.

He only knew that Fourth Senior Sister was a First-Rank Alchemist and an Earth Rank Formation Great Master.

And First Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother had even more unusual aesthetics; in all these days, he hadn't even seen their faces five times.

Third Senior Brother's trump cards had been revealed a bit, but back then he could withstand a Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the Liu family with only Qi Refinement stage eight cultivation; he must be even stronger now...
