The next day at dawn, the five of them left the stone room.

  Wang Qianyi and Shen Bing were both lightly injured, so they could stay in the Misty Valley overnight to rest and recover. By now, they had almost fully recovered.

  After some discussion, the five of them agreed to travel together and if they got separated, they would use a token to communicate with each other. Additionally, Qin Xi coldly told the two women that if they were not strong enough and were eliminated, they should not hold any grudges against them. His words and actions this time were completely different from last night's, and Mo Tian Ge felt that he had an ulterior motive, but she didn't know what his background was. She thought it would be better to have less contact with him in the future, or else something might happen and they would get dragged into trouble.

  Wang Shen and the two could only smile wryly and nod, they were disciples of the inner sect with some seniority, and also knew what was good for them. Seeing that they had been injured, it was already a good thing to be willing to travel together. Moreover, last night Mo Tian Ge had already told them roughly the same thing, which was that since they were together, they should listen to orders, so they had already mentally prepared themselves, and Qin Xi's words didn't sound as harsh.

  Today was indeed different from yesterday, they walked in the valley for a while without encountering anyone else, it seemed that most of them had been cleared out yesterday. Liu Yidao continued to probe the situation - he had a set of unconventional skills, good at concealing his breath, strengthening his spiritual awareness, and was indeed the best choice.

  It's rare to encounter a small team of people these days, either it's seven or eight people up to dozens, or just one or two lone figures. It seems that after yesterday, only those with strong strength or gathering many people can survive until now.

  They killed most of the lone figures, several of whom were said to be powerful disciples of Lianqi. Wang Qian and Shen Bing recognized them, but after some consideration, they didn't make a move. Anyway, the tokens in their hands were enough, no need to take risks.

  The opportunity for fishing in troubled waters is gone, because there were originally not many people left behind, and most of them gathered together, making it difficult to take action.

  Until noon, they rested for a while. Liu Yidao returned from scouting ahead and informed them that not far away, two groups were fighting each other, belonging to the Yunwu Sect and the Zixia Sect. The Yunwu Sect had only one person, but the Zixia Sect had six people.

  After a moment, the five of them decided to go and take a look. This person can fight six people alone, he must be exceptionally powerful, if the five of them go, they might be able to turn defeat into victory at once.

  It wasn't long before the sound of fighting could be heard, weapons clashing and spells colliding, quite intense.

  In the midst of flying dust and dirt, they approached the dueling site and saw from afar that wretched Cloud Mist Sect disciple.

  "Big Brother Zhou!" Upon seeing that person's face clearly, Liu Yidao was greatly shocked. This person turned out to be their fellow disciple under the same master, Big Brother Zhou.

  Mo Tian Ge took a glance at the opponents of Zhou Shixiong and asked Liu Yidao to scout ahead, who reported that there were six of them. Now, only five remained in front of him. Could it be that Zhou Shixiong had already taken care of one? Those who could manage their junior brothers were all elite disciples among the Qi Refining disciples. No wonder Zhou Shixiong was able to hold on for so long under the hands of six Qi Refining disciples. Among these several Zi Xiang Sect disciples, there were still three eight-layered disciples. They were indeed bold. Elite disciples dealing with ordinary disciples, one against many was not a problem. Zhou Shixiong's eleven-layered Qi Refining cultivation was obviously not that of an ordinary disciple. However, these people were not doing useless work. With so many people taking turns to attack, Zhou Shixiong's spiritual energy had clearly decreased. As long as they persisted, they would still be able to win.

  Five people in the same industry, each releasing their spiritual instruments. Qin Xi's magic had already struck, forcing those few Purple Mist Sect disciples to retreat several steps. Seeing them appear, he was shocked. Apparently they were also struggling and didn't notice anyone approaching.

  Zhou Shixiong was overjoyed and shouted loudly: "Fellow disciples, they can't hold on any longer, strike quickly!"

  Mo Tian Ge and others did not hesitate, the Ling Qi and Fu Lu pressed forward, their cultivation was obviously much higher than the other side, it didn't take long to clear out all of these Zi Xia Zong disciples.

  "Big Brother Zhou."

  After escaping from the bitter battle, Zhou Shi wiped the sweat off his forehead and looked at them.

  "A few junior brothers..." He actually recognized the fellow disciples he lived with, but they weren't close on a daily basis and were unfamiliar, unable to recall their names. His gaze shifted to Shen Bing and Wang Qian, and was surprised, "Junior Sister Shen, Junior Sister Wang, what are you doing here?"

  Shen Bing smiled bitterly and said, "Zhou Shixiong, we are all fellow disciples who were cleaned out together, so we gathered together." Then he asked him, "Zhou Shixiong, aren't you with Li Shixiong and Qi Shixiong? How did you also..."

  Here is the translation:

  Zhou Shixiong couldn't help but smile wryly and said, "To be honest with you, we were too careless. Last night when we were resting, someone launched a sneak attack on us. Two of our people went out and two others scattered, and later they couldn't be found..." Since Zhou Shixiong was an elite disciple, the ones who followed him weren't ordinary disciples either. They must have all been exceptional, no wonder he said they were too careless. Mo Tian Ge couldn't help but feel grateful for her good luck. A team like Zhou Shixiong's had fallen to such a state so early on. If she hadn't happened to be with Qin Xiu and Liu Yidao at the time, she would probably have been eliminated by now. It was all thanks to Liu Yidao's strong spiritual awareness and Qin Xiu's exceptional magic that they were able to avoid their powerful enemies and obtain so many command tokens.

  After they finished speaking, the group fell into silence. The five of them, except for Mo Tian Ge, were all at the tenth level of Qi refinement and had considerable strength. Zhou Shixiong naturally hoped to be with them, but as a manager of disciples, he was embarrassed to say it out loud. Wang Shen, on the other hand, had joined later and wanted to speak up, but didn't know if they would be willing, so he could only look at them tentatively. As for Mo Tian Ge, what he was worried about was Zhou Shixiong, who wouldn't intentionally lose.

  Yesterday, I talked to Qin Xi, and she has agreed to his proposal. Indeed, she can't attract attention. If she persists with her eight-layer cultivation until the end, she will definitely attract attention. Outside the Misty Valley, there are three Jiedan cultivators, and it is said that the sect master himself will award prizes in person. Even if she has a Tongling Jade Pendant to conceal herself, she doesn't want to take this risk. Besides, even if she didn't get the final prize, she had more than 50 tokens on her hands, which can be exchanged for over 500 spirit stones. Qin Xi is also willing to make up some, so that she can get the top three prizes, and there will still be 500 spirit stones and a bottle of Qi Gathering Dan. In this way, she can get thousands of spirit stones, a bottle of Qi Gathering Dan, plus the one on her hand, which is enough for her to retreat and cultivate until she reaches the perfect Qi Refining realm.

  Waiting until under their protection, Zhou Shixiong recovered his spirit. Qin Xidao said: "Zhou Shixiong, since we have met by chance, why not travel together? I don't know if it's convenient for you?"

  Zhou Wang Shen three people obviously breathed a sigh of relief, Zhou Shixiong happily agreed: "Thank you all the younger martial brothers and sisters, I'm delighted to be able to travel with you."

  Qin Xi smiled: "So, Brother Zhou, what do you think we should do now?"

  "Brother Zhou humbly said: 'I'm just along for the ride, you must have already had a plan in place, so let me just follow your lead.'"

  Qin Xi nodded and said to Liu Yidao, "Brother Liu, it's been hard to find anyone today, why don't we just wait here instead? It's easier to wait for them to come to us."

  Liu Yidao nodded without any objection. Since yesterday, he had become accustomed to Qin Xi making decisions. After entering the Misty Valley, Qin Xi seemed to be in his element, as if his experience in fighting was far richer than theirs. Thinking of this, Mo Tian Ge pondered again about Qin Xi's background.
