In the dense forest northwest of Taiyuan Island, Li Yunyao and his group had been rushing towards the Taiyuan Immortal Sect for three consecutive days, and the team expanded from the original four to seven. In addition to the two brothers Ouyang and Chen Yunzhu, there were two more young monks, one and one and three females.

The three of them are at the peak of the ninth level of Qi training. Chengming Island, which comes from the central sea, is a true disciple of the Huanglong Sect, the Golden Dan power. The woman is named Zhuang Lixin. The other two are named Zhong Wenhai and Yan Feng. The clothes they wear are tattooed with the golden dragon mark representing the sect on their cuffs.

Three days ago, Li Yunyao and Chen Yunzhu and the other two chose to go northwest. As they guessed, there were indeed very few people in the northwest direction. The next day, I met other contestants, that is, the three people in front of me.

The three were attacked by another team of six, and they were almost crushed to smack their hidden dragon order to withdraw from the game. At the critical moment, Li Yunyao appeared and didn't even take action. He just released a trace of the momentum of a great monk in the Foundation Establishment Realm, and frightened the six people, rescued the three of them, and invited the three to go with him.

The three of them were rescued in despair and were able to continue participating in the competition. They were grateful and agreed to Li Yunyao's invitation, especially the woman named Zhuang Lixin. While rushing to the road, they frequently showed respectful eyes towards Li Yunyao.

Li Yunyao was dressed in white, with a slender figure and a handsome appearance that inherited from the Li family. In addition, he appeared like a god descending to earth yesterday. Since he was here to participate in the competition, he would not be over fifty years old at most. He is also a great monk in the Foundation Establishment Realm, and his destructive power to female monks is indeed very great!

"Brother Li, are you really from the Four Islands in the South?" Zhuang Lixin looked at Li Yunyao in the front and couldn't help but ask yesterday's questions.

The four southern islands have a low status on the seventy-two islands in the East Pole Sea, which is well known. She really can't imagine that Li Yunyao, who is so outstanding in his eyes, actually came from that kind of place.

Yan Feng and Zhong Wenhai also looked at Li Yunyao and the other two with curious eyes. In fact, Li Yunyao introduced himself when he rescued them yesterday, but the two of them were a little unbelievable.

Li Yunyao showed a hint of helplessness on his face, and knew what the three of them were thinking, so he could only nod and replied: "Yunzhu and I are both children of the Li family in Jingyuan Island, and Mingcheng and Mingyu are children of the Ouyang family in Jinshayu."

Zhuang Lixin saw the helpless expression on Li Yunyao's face, afraid that he would misunderstand that he looked down on the Four Islands in the South, and hurriedly explained: "Brother Li, I'm sorry, Lixin really didn't expect that such a barren land as the Four Islands in the South could actually get out of a person as talented as Brother Li."

This flattery made Chen Yunzhu roll his eyes immediately. She and Li Yunyao, the big fool, grew up together. A little girl like Zhuang Lixin, who was fascinated by Li Yunyao, has been one after another on the four islands in the south over the years. However, the big fool has always been concerned about the family and never cared about these women. She is quite satisfied.

Li Yunyao was calmer. From childhood to adulthood, he had heard the words of praise from his ears, so he didn't take it seriously. He shook his head and said, "The battle for the Qianlong List brings together talents from the Seventy-Two Islands of the East Jihai. I think there are many people with my qualifications. Whether it can be on the list is still a different story. How dare you be called extraordinary talent? Miss Li Xin praised it."

Talented and handsome, Zhuang Lixin looked at Li Yunyan's eyes and was almost bursting out, and hurriedly said, "Brother Li underestimates himself too much. Although this year's Qianlong List is indeed more talented than in the past, with your cultivation level in the Foundation Establishment Realm, you will definitely be able to make it to the list."

Hearing this, Li Yunyao and Chen Yunzhu immediately raised their eyebrows.

Only the top 100 in this game are eligible to be on the Hidden Dragon List and become famous in the East Jihai.

Although Li Yunyao showed a rather modest personality, no matter how humble he was, he still had his own arrogance. He was only twenty-nine years old this year, and he was already at the peak of the foundation-building level, and he was indeed enough to stand out as a hero.

His goal is to compete for the first place, not just on the list, but Zhuang Lixin said that he only has the qualification to compete for the list.

Chen Yunzhu saw Li Yunyao's doubts and asked Zhuang Lixin: "Could it be that Miss Lixin has some understanding of this competition for the Hidden Dragon List?"

Zhuang Lixin nodded and said, "About 3,000 people participated in each session of the Qianlong List. The lowest level of Qi training is the eighth level. There have been players in the late stage of foundation building before, but this session should not be available. The top 100 previous sessions are the lowest level of foundation building cultivation. Brother Li is the peak level of foundation building cultivation, so he must be qualified to be on the list!"

When he heard that there had been late-stage players in the foundation building stage, Li Yunyao's expression had not changed much. He was only twenty-nine years old, and it was not impossible to be promoted to the late-stage players before he was fifty.

However, hearing that the lowest level of cultivator on the list was also the early stage of foundation building, he was indeed a little shocked, which also made him realize why Zhuang Lixin and the other two were so surprised when they heard that he was from the four islands in the south.

There are only one great monk in the foundation-building realm under the age of fifty, but on the list of the Hidden Dragons, there will be at least one hundred people in each session, which will be spread to 68 islands, and each island can be divided into two.

The gap between the four southern islands and other islands is indeed very big!

"Does Miss Lixin know which strong opponents are there in this tournament?"

When Li Yunyao heard Chen Yunzhu continue to ask for information for helping her, he quickly listened carefully.

Chengming Island, where Zhuang Lixin and the other two were born, is located in the north of the central waters. The news is indeed much more informative than them. The three of them also saw the meaning of Li Yunyao's attempt to inquire about the news, so they said everything they knew.

"There are many people who have the strength to compete for the fourth to tenth place in this session, but there are only twelve people most likely, Yao Hai and Yao Wuliang brothers from Frost Blade Island, Song Shiwen from Moyang Island, Xu Xuefan from Yuqiong Island, Ji Wushen and Qiu Yunchao from Chaoxia Island, Lu Guangyuan from Manhua Island, Fu Qianqiu and Mei Nianhua Island, Mo Zishuang from Jinxiu Island, Du Yijiang and Hong Bohai from Yinyue Island, these twelve people are all at the peak of the third level of foundation building and have the greatest reputation among the younger generation in the central waters."

After a series of twelve names were remembered in his heart, Li Yunyao asked in confusion: "What do the fourth to tenth mean? What are the top three?"

Zhong Wenhai remembered that Li Yunyao was born in the Four Islands in the South and knew nothing about the Qianlong List, so he hurriedly explained: "Brother Li doesn't know anything. The top three of the Qianlong List were all won by the geniuses of Shangsan Island, which has almost become an unspoken rule."

Chen Yunzhu reacted first and nodded and said, "This is normal. Whether it is the cultivation environment, the quality of monks and the inheritance of martial arts, the Shangsan Islands are far superior to the islands of the East Jihai. It is normal that they can cultivate better genius monks."

Li Yunyao was a little dissatisfied and asked in confusion: "Has no one ever broken this unspoken rule before?"

Zhong Wenhai shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be there."

Zhuang Lixin, who was standing beside him, said, "Something, I remember that at the eleventh time, a man named Liang Shengxin broke this rule and successfully defeated the genius who participated in the Luo family in one year, ranking second."

Li Yunyao's eyes lit up immediately, which proves that there is a precedent.

"By the way, his current Dharma name is the Holy Infant True Lord!"

OK, Zhenjun, Li Yunyao shut up and didn't continue asking.

It is not that strange that the true king's posture breaks the unspoken rules.

There are only a few true lords on the Dongji Sea. Just say that the Qianlong List has been held for twenty sessions, and there are sixty people in the top three sessions. Although Li Yunyao doesn’t know how many true lords there are in the Dongji Sea, it will definitely not exceed sixty.

"Miss Li Xin, do you know how the rematch and finals of the Hidden Dragon List will be held?

Zhuang Lixin shook her head and said, "The preliminaries and rematch methods of each session of the Qianlong List are different. We don't know the way to choose the method by the organizer. For example, this time, just like Brother Li, you guessed, we were taken to Taiyuan Island and wanted to find a way to report to the Immortal Sect. It is likely that the first preliminaries will be already, but the elder of the Immortal Sect did not say it clearly, and it is just a guess at the moment.

It's even less clear in the rematch.

However, the final is certain. Generally, when the final is in the future, only about 200 people will be left. At that time, the draw will be held. At that time, it will be time to truly compete for personal strength."

Li Yunyao nodded, and what he wanted to know was basically the same. He bowed to the three of them and said gratefully: "Thank you for your advice."

The three of them quickly returned the greeting, and Zhuang Lixin blushed even more and said hurriedly: "Brother Li is so polite. If you hadn't saved me, we would have been eliminated now. It's just news that everyone knows and it's worthless."

These are not useless news. After all, the four southern islands have been integrated into the central waters for a short time, and it is also the first time to participate in the Hidden Dragon List competition. In addition, the time is in a hurry, Li Yunyao really doesn't know anything. With this news, he can prepare in advance and feels more at ease.

Chen Yunzhu jumped onto the top of a big tree, looked north, and estimated the distance and said, "According to the current schedule, we should be able to reach Taiyuan Immortal Sect for another two days. When we arrive at the Immortal Sect, we will know if this is the first round preliminaries."

Zhuang Lixin and the other two were a little happy. After all, they were almost eliminated yesterday. If this was the first round of preliminaries and they passed successfully, that would be great. The three of them still did not forget to say grateful to Li Yunyao: "Thank you, Brother Li."

Li Yunyao waved his hand and said, "It's just a simple task, no need to be polite."

The three of them looked grateful and already had some respect.

Not to mention Zhuang Lixin, two men, Zhong Wenhai and Yan Feng, had nothing to say about Li Yunyao's senses after getting along this day.

It’s all right to not repay kindness. At a young age, he has the cultivation level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, but he doesn’t see any arrogance. He has always been very modest when talking to them, and is willing to take them to Taiyuan Immortal Sect with him.

In ancient times, there was a gentleman who was as gentle as jade, which means someone like Brother Li.

The three of them thought of this sentence at the same time.

Only Chen Yunzhu's lips curled, and he saw that the three of them were already convinced by Li Yunyao, and quietly sent a message: "You are so proud of the big fool. These three, like the two brothers of Ouyang, have been fooled by you. I guess you will be willing to do anything as long as you don't let them die."

Li Yunyao smiled helplessly. He was hit like this by Chen Yunzhu since he was a child, and he didn't care. He responded: "What are you fooling around? Miss Lixin told us so much news, and I'm grateful that they were too late!"

"Tsk, you still want to lie to me, tell me, what bad idea are you making?"

When it comes to understanding Li Yunyao, Chen Yunzhu believes that she is definitely the first. Even Li Yunyao's father Li Qingjie and mother Zong Wen'er are not as good as her. After all, the two of them have grown up from childhood to adulthood.

Li Yunyao has always been a good thing to do. It is said that saving three people yesterday was a simple task, but there is no need to invite them to accompany them. If it is for the news about the game that the three people said, Li Yunyao asked whom Li was not asking, and there is no need to ask these three people who were about to be eliminated.

Therefore, Chen Yunzhu is sure that this fool definitely has other purposes.

"Didn't you hear that the way of the competition in each session is different? We don't know if it's the first round preliminaries at the moment. Although I am confident in my strength, I still have you with you after all. If I can win over more people, it may be helpful to the subsequent games. I thought you could see it!"

Chen Yunzhu's eyes lit up, and she looked at Li Yunyao, and said arrogantly: "What do you need to say? I have thought of it for a long time, but I just tried you on purpose to see if you are the same as I thought, hum!"

Li Yunyao shrugged and didn't say anything. He had been with Chen Yunzhu for many years and understood her arrogant personality.

The seven people rushed to the north for another day. The northwest direction was full of mountains and dense forests, and there were many monsters in the Qi training realm. In order to save time, Li Yunyao directly opened up the momentum of the Foundation Building Realm, so those monsters in the Qi training realm naturally did not dare to come up on their own initiative.

As long as he sensed that there was a monster in the foundation building realm nearby, Li Yunyao took six people to avoid them.

There was no interference from external objects, and the seven people rushed to the road with their heads buried in their heads, and soon there was less than fifty miles away from the Taiyuan Immortal Sect Mountain Gate.

And here, Li Yunyao stopped for the first time, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.

The other six people also stopped with him and looked at him in confusion. If there were any foundation-building monsters nearby, Li Yunyao would have taken them to bypass them instead of stopping.

"What's wrong?" Chen Yunzhu asked.

"There are many people in front of you. Four great monks in the Foundation Establishment Realm should have been deployed near the northwest entrance of this Immortal Sect, so they can't get around!"

The other five people suddenly showed a look of worry on their faces. They chose to set up defenses at the entrance, and there were four great monks in the Foundation Establishment Realm. They could almost be concluded that they were contestants. The purpose of choosing to set up defenses here is self-evident.

Chen Yunzhu was fine, and she didn't look too worried. She just asked, "I can't get around, what should I do? Let's break through?"

Seeing the five people's expressions of worry, Li Yunyao quickly put down his solemn expression and smiled and said, "Let's go and see the situation first, it's not necessarily the person who blocks us from entering."

The five of them looked at each other for a moment, and had no choice but to follow Li Yunyao and Chen Yunzhu and approach the other side together.

Soon, the group of seven people advanced more than thirty miles, leaving only the last ten miles away from the gate of the Immortal Sect. At this moment, a sad and angry voice came into his ears. Li Yunyao took the lead and quickly galloped over, and the other six people hurriedly followed.

"Ji Changlong, you are too bullying."

"Hmph, you are just a trash like you, and you want to enter the preliminaries. You either hand over the spirit stone or get out of here. Choose now!"

The seven people walked through the dense forest and saw more than a dozen young monks in front of them, surrounding three monks. A tall and thin monk in the lead turned his head and looked at the seven of them with a domineering look, and said in a frivolous tone: "Oh, there are seven fat sheep again!"

Li Yunyao just took a look, combined with the conversation just now, and guessed the situation in front of him.

Zhuang Lixin next to him also had a hint of fear on his face at this time, and he stepped forward and whispered: "That great monk named Ji Changlong is from Ji Wushen's tribe."

Li Yunyao nodded and understood. He looked at the tall and thin young monk. He was just the initial level of the first level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and he didn't care too much about it.

"Tell me, should I hand over the spirit stone or withdraw from the competition yourself?"

Hearing Ji Changlong's words, Li Yunyao showed a touch of playful expression and asked, "I wonder how many spirit stones I have to hand over?"

"Not many, one million per person is enough. As for you, if you have the foundation-building realm cultivation, add one million more."

"Did you give it to me, or should I give it to you?"

The dozen or so people thought he was joking when they heard Li Yunyao's words, so they were all stunned for a moment.

After Ji Changlong was the first to react, his spiritual power exploded and he immediately laughed angrily: "A new thing is coming. I thought that if I have the cultivation level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, I can pass by this young master.

Dong Yun, Liu Baiming, Shang Kong, it’s time to be tough!"
