It’s a pity that the Sky Witch Ancient Village isn’t big, yet isn’t small either. Yue Jinghua couldn’t easily find Bo Xiyu, so she had to put her doubts aside for now.
Every day, she continued to leisurely catch Fire Dragon Fish in the thorny bushes to gain rit Points. anwhile, she secretly dispatched her Dark Beast Demon to search for the whereabouts of the Heavenly Witch Pill; however, no information ca forth, and soon the third week passed.
After the brutal eliminations in the second and third weeks, the discovery gradually spread among Dark Practitioners in the last days of the third week: unhatched eggs of Demon Beasts could be consud, and certain teams found water sources in other parts of the Divine Ruins. Although the water quality was inferior to the Sky Witch Feeding’s well water, it was sufficient for consumption.
On the last day of the third week, a major event occurred, directly knocking Yue Jinghua from the top of the Weekly Ranking.
To avoid the Four Symbols Team, the Dark Demon Army, including Dark Demon General Hong Lei, entered the Divine Ruins and was completely annihilated.
The team responsible for the annihilation ca unexpectedly to everyone; it was the White Tiger Team.
"Truly silent until a shocking upheaval; the White Tiger Team kept quiet before, not holding any advantage among the Four Great Teams. How did they unexpectedly uproot the Demon Clan’s stronghold?" City Lord Changsun excitedly relayed this news via the rit Ring, sending a buzz through the entire Sky Witch Ancient Village.
It’s then Yue Jinghua rembered encountering her brother Yue Minzhi and eting Fa Xiaoyi upon entering the Divine Ruins. As for Hu Li’s Sparrow Team, due to her amicable relationship with Ying Wuwang, she received benefits when lacking water.
But uniquely, Zong Shaoqing seed missing, with no trace or news.
Until today, it was explosively announced that Zong Shaoqing and his team utterly annihilated the Dark Demon Army.
The result of the annihilation was that Zong Shaoqing imdiately gained over three thousand rit Points, while other Tiger Team mbers received rewards between five hundred to one hundred rit Points based on their contributions.
The destruction of the Dark Demon Army heightened the tension of this Xuyang Trial.
After all, according to the Four Symbols City Lord, the entire Xuyang Trial lasts six months with only two objectives: finding thirteen Heavenly Witch Pills and eliminating the Dark Demon Army.
These six months were not fixed, but relative.
Once the participating Dark Practitioners achieve the two objectives, the Xuyang Trial concludes.
It was thought the Dark Demon Army’s power was formidable, requiring much ti to annihilate.
Who would have known Zong Shaoqing would achieve such impressive feat without losing a single person?
With the Dark Demon Army annihilated, the Demon Beasts in the Divine Ruins beca like frightened birds, reducing the thods to earn rit Points.
Thus, everyone’s focus shifted to the Heavenly Witch Pill, and so began contemplating alternative ways to earn rit Points beyond the pill.
That ans assassinating—killing other mbers who have earned rit Points, claiming them for themselves.
And Yue Jinghua, along with the Four Unlikes Squad mbers holding nurous rit Points, beca primary targets.
"Tsk, how many batches has this beco in two hours? If this continues, we won’t be able to step out," Feng Buhui warned alertly while watching outside the stone house.
Since Zong Shaoqing annihilated the Dark Demon Army, they’ve beco targets of others’ ambushes for days.
Tiger Team, Dragon Team, Martial Arts Team, Sparrow Team—each has soone disguised to ambush the supposedly easiest to bully mbers of the Four Unlikes Team.
"Don’t panic. I have so water and food stocked in my Desire Gourd, so no need to worry about sustenance for now. But Ying Wuwang and his team mbers left early. Do you know where they went?" Only the Jile Crown Prince Ying Wuwang was more shocked by the Dark Demon Army’s annihilation.
The Demon Clan has always been exceptionally proud, and this ti was ironically undone by Dark Practitioners, even if Hong Lei wasn’t Ying Wuwang’s subordinate, he was still restless.
Yue Jinghua was right. After leaving the stone house, Ying Wuwang shook off several Four Unlikes Team mbers and swiftly arrived at a corner of the Sky Witch Ancient Village to rendezvous with Hu Li.
"Crown Prince, I checked. Demon General Hong Lei is indeed dead, and the demonic aura of the other Dark Demon Departnt people has disappeared completely," Hu Li, shedding her previous tender appearance, now wore a grave expression.
"To so cleanly and efficiently kill the Demon Clan; this Zong Shaoqing cannot be simple," Ying Wuwang paced in irritation, "I suspect he may be of the Demon Clan."
"Crown Prince, you suspect he’s with the Third Princess Xingluo?" Hu Li asked in astonishnt.
The struggle for the Emperor Demon Clan’s throne had lasted hundreds of years. Hong Lei belonged to the Second Prince of Dark Demon, who wouldn’t send soone to kill, leaving the only possibility as the Third Princess Xingluo.
"I’m not sure either, Hu Li. I keep feeling I’ve seen Zong Shaoqing sowhere," the Jile Crown Prince pondered intensely, ending up unable to recall anything.
Despite his superior recognition abilities, he couldn’t recognize where he had seen Zong Shaoqing.
"How about I kill Zong Shaoqing?" Hu Li flicked her scarlet tongue, looking vicious.
"We need not act ourselves. The first place in the Xuyang Trial is not easy. You should first look for the Heavenly Witch Pill’s whereabouts. Is the item from the Thirteen Sky Witches I gave you useful?" the Jile Crown Prince inquired.
The Dragon Fox Clan possesses remarkable olfactory skills; they never forget a scent once they’ve slled it.
Having acquired one of the items left behind by the Thirteen Sky Witches from so source, the Jile Crown Prince had Hu Li sll it intending for her to track the Heavenly Witch Pill of the thirteen.
Of course, the Heavenly Witch Pill of the thirteen holds the scent of the Thirteen Sky Witches.
"The scent is intermittent. I couldn’t confirm earlier, but I’ve roughly determined the direction; it seems to be around Zhuqiu," Hu Li admitted uncertainly.
After all, the Thirteen Sky Witches died nearly ten thousand years ago, so even if the relic is genuine, its remaining scent has mostly faded, leaving Hu Li to barely deduce the Heavenly Witch Pill’s location.
"Zhuqiu... seems we have no choice but to explore. However, I’ve heard Zhuqiu is extrely dangerous, so we’ll investigate for a few more days. If we find no clue about the Heavenly Witch Pill, we’ll have to enter Zhuqiu," the Jile Crown Prince Ying Wuwang, with furrowed brows, spoke decisively.
