From a scholar to a villain, I was a good person at the beginning

Jiang Zheng glanced around and noticed that there were many cultivators around. The robes they wore were of different colors. He thought they were from other sects.

But the most embarrassing thing was that I was wearing a gray robe and mixed in with them.

"May I ask, sir, what are the rules of this hunting competition?"

A middle-aged monk in red stood up and asked. From his clothes, it could be seen that he was an elder of the sect.

"Rules?" Before the Nascent Soul expert could speak, the young man beside him sneered, "Rules mean there are no rules. By the way, you elders also have to participate."

As soon as the words fell, everyone was shocked.

No rules?!

In other words, you can kill at will!

Everyone finally understood why there was only one spot to go to the upper sect, which meant that only one could survive!

But why do these accompanying elders also need to participate?

It's not fair at all!

"Yes, all of you must participate. From now on, every half an incense stick, one person can go to the Bloody Battlefield and receive a token. After seven days, whoever obtains the most tokens will get a place."

Seeing everyone's eyes turned to him, the Nascent Soul expert nodded.

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

It turns out that not only one can survive, but even so, this hunting contest is extremely dangerous. After all, fighting is inevitable if you want to get the token.

In the absence of rules, the strong will surely defeat the weak, but often the winners will not leave hidden dangers for themselves, and killing becomes almost inevitable.

Jiang Zheng looked at everyone's reactions calmly, frowning.

Something is wrong!

Since the purpose of hunting is to select people with outstanding talents, why do these elders need to participate?

And why did the young man also want to participate?

It doesn't make sense at all!

The strength of an elder must be stronger than that of a disciple. The years of cultivation are long, and if he is bound to win, his qualifications may not be higher than that of a disciple.

And that young man, who originally came from the upper sect, why did he also want to participate in the hunting? It was impossible that he was also going to compete for the first place.

Such rules are really weird, there must be some ulterior motives behind them!

Suddenly, a pair of hands were placed on his shoulders. Looking back, Feng Yangzi's mouth corners slightly raised.

"Next time we meet, if you kneel down for me, I may consider not killing you."

He looked smug and arrogant, and returned to the crowd without waiting for Jiang Zheng's answer.

As expected...are you still going to kill me?

This is really ridiculous. He and I just met by chance. Sigh...

Jiang Zheng frowned and turned around to find that Luke Dong was also staring at him, his eyes radiating a terrifying light.

"Oh, it seems that the current situation is really bad."

A hint of bitterness appeared on Jiang Zheng's face.

"Boy, what are you afraid of? I'm here for you, hehe..." Kong Qing comforted him, but there was no kindness in his tone.

Jiang Zheng would not be so foolish as to think that Kong Qing would sincerely help him. He was probably already impatient and wanted to see him fall into despair.

This may force me to make a deal, but it doesn’t matter, fortunately I still have the Dao treasure fragments.

But this hunt was very strange and it might be full of dangers. Even with the fragments of the Taoist treasure, Jiang Zheng still felt uneasy.

"Jiang Zheng!" Lan Xinyue walked over and shook the book in her hand.

"If you encounter danger during the hunt, come to me. I'll thank you for your book." Then he threw a jade slip to Jiang Zheng.

If you take this jade slip, you can find my location, and I can find you in the same way."

“Thank you, help each other”

Jiang Zheng took the jade slip and thanked him.

"Little thing, do you have any books there?"

"There are a lot. If you like, you can take them to read. But I can only lend them to you and you have to return them."

After saying that, he thought to himself.

Now those books are all I have left as a memory. If I give them all away, what kind of scholar would I be?

How can I explain to Mu Xi next time I see her? I can't just say I don't have any books and gave them all away.

This won’t do. Mu Xi will probably be angry.

"I'll go first, you should go in early too, the later you go the more dangerous it will be."

She gave a careful warning, then queued up while there were few people around.

Jiang Zheng didn't dare to delay and lined up two people behind Lan Xinyue.

She was right. The later you go in, the more dangerous it will be because there will be people lying in ambush inside, and those who go in later will be in a very passive position.

You may even lose your life.

He looked back and found Feng Yangzi and Lukedong standing behind him, not far away from him.

Perhaps it had targeted him and was following him specifically to make it easier to kill him as quickly as possible.

Jiang Zheng just glanced at it casually and stopped paying attention. Then he quietly waited for time while calculating the situation.

Now with my ninth level of Qi Refining cultivation, coupled with Kong Qing's ancient great demon fire technique, I should not be afraid of those below the foundation building stage.

The current danger comes from those elders and disciples in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

During these seven days, he didn't ask for a spot, he just wanted to get through it safely.

If I had known that the hunting tournament would be like this, I should have refused to participate. As for the rewards, I have never heard of any mention of them until now.

The sky gradually darkened, and soon it was Jiang Zheng's turn.

After he stepped forward to receive the token, he summoned his flying sword and plunged into the bloody battlefield.

And just now he paid attention to the direction where everyone left, and deliberately chose a direction with fewer people.

He also intended to get closer to Lan Xinyue. She was a foundation-building cultivator, although he had no intention of relying on her power.

But face is always more precious than life—words of the saints!

"Hehe... kid, don't blame me for not reminding you. Don't use the Dao treasure lightly. There are Yuanying cultivators nearby. The Dao treasure makes a lot of noise. Once you are targeted, you will inevitably kill people to take the treasure."

Kong Qing gave him a sudden reminder, and Jiang Zheng almost fell off his flying sword.

Finished!

How would I know this? I haven't considered it at all.

Jiang Zheng gritted his teeth, took out the jade slip, sensed it, and changed direction without hesitation.

Closer, closer...

He is now in tears.

The only solution now is to find a way to break through the foundation as soon as possible. Only in this way can we not rely on Lan Xinyue.

Besides, he didn't know how strong she was, and she might not be able to compete with Feng Yangzi and Luke Dong.

But he knew that if he placed his hopes on others, he would not be far from destruction.

Jiang Zheng decided to escape into the forest and hide first. The best result would be to hide until the hunting was over. After that, he could find an opportunity to use the Taoist treasure to eliminate the hidden danger.

“Here it comes, here it comes!”

A man in a red robe lowered his voice and spoke to his companion beside him.

By this time, the sky had already darkened. Two red-robed figures were lurking on a towering ancient tree.

After the two of them entered the bloody battlefield in advance, they lay in wait and ambushed the unlucky guy in advance.

Jiang Zheng unknowingly ran into an ambush by the two men.

Jiang Zheng looked around vigilantly, Qingfeng in hand.

Strands of scarlet blood flowed upstream, washing over his mind.

"Boy, these bloody evil spirits will affect your mind. It won't be a problem in the short term, but if you stay here for a year or two, you might become an empty shell that only knows how to kill."

Kong Qing began to explain.

"So scary?" He stretched out his hand to touch the blood evil, only to feel a bone-chilling cold.

"It's a pity that you don't have anything valuable on you, otherwise I can help you refine a blood flag, which will be enough for you to use until the early stage of the Nascent Soul."

Kong Qing's tone was regretful.

"Blood Banner? It sounds like a magic weapon that only villains in books would use."

Jiang Zheng recalled it briefly and looked a little disgusted.

"Villain? You should read less books. After studying for several years, do you really think you are a good person?" Kong Qing mocked mercilessly.

"Why am I not a good person?"

"Hehe, count it yourself, how many people have you killed?"

"I...they wanted to harm me! I just had no choice!" Jiang Zheng argued.

"ridiculous!"

"I think you are the real villain!"

Jiang Zheng was indignant and continued to explore into the middle of the ancient forest, intending to find a place to rest, and Kong Qing no longer bothered with him.

"hey-hey……"

Suddenly, Jiang Zheng's face changed drastically and he looked around suddenly.

He laughed again and again!

It must be something bad!

Sure enough, two cold murderous intentions came from above my head.

Jiang Zheng fled without any hesitation.

Bang--!

There was a muffled sound, and Jiang Zheng turned his head and took a closer look, and saw that the soil where he had just stood exploded.

"Oh, you actually dodged it?"

Two figures fell from above and blocked his way.
