Chapter 388 Forced to Join?

Seeing this, Qingyang realized that he had underestimated Jiao Hong's power before. What he said was actually true. There was indeed a group of young talents behind him.

But how did such a group of people form a team? What was their purpose? Could it be that they really just felt that they had a bright future and wanted to make some friends?

If he could get to know such a group of people, it would only be good for his future. However, Qingyang had made up his mind to go to Chaos Demon Valley alone, so he could only decline the other party's kindness and said, "Fellow Daoist Jiao, there is no need to say anything more. I have no intention of forming a team with anyone for the time being."

Jiao Hong repeatedly recruited him, but was rejected. Jiao Hong was finally angered by Qingyang's attitude and said, "I recruited you repeatedly because you are young and promising. Don't be ungrateful."

A rough man next to Lan Yan also stepped forward and said to Master Lingxu, "Master, this kid dares to look down on us. How about I teach him a profound lesson? At most, I can make him kneel down and beg for mercy in a few moves, crying and shouting to join our team."

Qingyang didn't expect that he would be angry just by rejecting the other party's recruitment. Such people must not be close friends. Fortunately, he rejected them. At the same time, Qingyang was also a little worried. The strength of Jiao Hong's team was too strong, even stronger than the team of Qin Ruyan and Kou Yuchang just now. If there was any conflict between the two sides, he would probably suffer.

This was the first time he had seen someone forced to join a gang. Qingyang frowned, took a step back quietly, and was on guard secretly. If he couldn't win, he would run away.

At this time, Master Lingxu suddenly glanced at Qingyang, then shook his head and said, "We are not a gang, how can we force others to join? Whether they are willing to cooperate or not is their freedom. We still have business to do, so we don't need to waste time on him."

Master Lingxu said, even if he was unwilling, he had to do it. The rough man took a step back unwillingly, and then a group of ten people bypassed Qingyang and walked towards the depths of Chaos Demon Valley.

Watching this group of people leave, Qingyang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there was no conflict, otherwise he really didn't know what to do. In a place like Chaos Demon Valley, there are no rules for safety. Even if something unfair happened, people from outside couldn't get in, and those who were not strong enough could only blame themselves for their bad luck. Although he had the Drunken Immortal Gourd to hide, and the Alcoholic Bee and the Iron-armed Monkey to help, some things were not easy to expose in front of so many people.

Moreover, the restrictions of the Chaos Demon Valley suppressed high-level cultivators above the sixth level of Qi Refining, and it was unknown whether they could release them. He would try it in a deserted place.

Looking around, there were not many disciples left, so Qingyang did not stay here any longer. He identified a direction and entered the Chaos Demon Valley. Qingyang had a rough idea of ​​the terrain of the Chaos Demon Valley. The Chaos Demon Valley Trial had been held so many times, and the major immortal sects had also drawn some rough maps for the reference of the disciples who participated in the trial based on the descriptions of the disciples who had participated in the trial before.

However, the entire Chaos Demon Valley was too large, and the disciples who participated in the trial had too low cultivation levels, so they did not dare to go deep into many places. In addition, some disciples were selfish and did not want to say more about some key things, so the maps provided by the sects were very rough and could only be used as a reference.

Since it was a trial and exploration, it was naturally not as fast as traveling outside. Qingyang searched while walking forward, and the speed was very slow. He could only travel 20 to 30 miles a day. When encountering some special places, Qingyang would stop and explore carefully.

The terrain of Chaos Demon Valley is much more complicated than other places. Many places have grown a lot of ancient trees that are thousands of years old, covering the sky and the sun. The range of the divine thoughts of Qi Refining cultivators is relatively small, so it is extremely troublesome to explore. Sometimes it takes several days to search a small hill.

It is even more troublesome to encounter a place with water. If the width and depth of the water surface exceed the coverage of the divine thoughts, you have to go into the water to search again. Who knows what dangers are hidden in the deep water? You must always pay attention, because if you are not careful, you may encounter accidents.

At night, the monsters are relatively active, and the probability of danger is higher. Moreover, the evil spirit in Chaos Demon Valley seems to be particularly violent at night. It is not suitable for one person to wander around. There is no way, you can only find a secluded place to hide and practice to improve your cultivation. Isn't it a pity to waste such a rich spiritual energy in Chaos Demon Valley?

In fact, cultivation is also the most important thing for disciples participating in the trial. In previous years, many disciples who participated in the trial felt that it was better to find a place to practice in peace than to risk their lives to snatch spiritual herbs from others. One year of practice here can catch up with many years outside. Many disciples who have been unable to break through the bottleneck outside have broken through because of practicing here.

During the trial, Qingyang sometimes met other disciples, but they were very wary of each other and generally did not get too close. Although Qingyang was alone, others were afraid that he was just a bait deliberately released. Unless they encountered high-value treasures that both parties were unwilling to give up, there would be few direct conflicts between disciples participating in the trial.

During this period, Qingyang found an opportunity and tried to release the Iron Arm Spirit Monkey and the Alcoholic Queen Bee. He found that what others said was right. The restrictions of Chaos Demon Valley really suppressed high-level cultivators above the sixth level of Qi Refining. As soon as they are released, their cultivation will begin to decline at a speed visible to the naked eye, and will only slowly stabilize after reaching below the sixth level of Qi Refining.

The Iron-armed Monkey and the Alcoholic Queen Bee had no wisdom after all. They watched their strength decline. The panic caused by this change can be imagined, as if the sky had fallen. When they tried for the second time, the Iron-armed Monkey and the Alcoholic Queen Bee were extremely unwilling. Of course, if Qingyang forced them, they would not dare to resist, but if they did so many times, it would be a heavy blow to the relationship between the master and the servant.

After recalling the Iron-armed Monkey to the Drunken Immortal Gourd, their suppressed strength would slowly increase. This speed was extremely slow, and it was not certain whether they could restore their original cultivation. No wonder so many high-level cultivators outside did not dare to come in.

Qingyang did not dare to try again easily. It was not only related to whether he could restore his cultivation, but also because the restrictions outside had too strong a psychological effect on the Iron-armed Monkey and the Alcoholic Queen Bee. Qingyang did not want to cause a rift because of this incident. In the future, there would only be a relationship of control and being controlled between them.

As for the other alcoholic bees, since they were not very strong, the six purple-backed alcoholic bees were equivalent to mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators, so the Chaos Demon Valley restriction had little impact on them. With the help of these alcoholic bees, they would not be in too much danger. As for the Iron-armed Monkey and the alcoholic bee queen, it was better not to look for them unless their lives were threatened.
