Avenue Stowaway

Three days had passed in the blink of an eye, and the sect's biennial weapon refining assessment had officially come to an end. However, the work of each disciple was not over yet, because the moment that would determine their fate had only just begun today.

Today is the day when Huoyun Hall holds a competition. During the competition, the 30 disciples with the highest weapon-refining skills will be selected and promoted to inner hall disciples. This is the most important day for all disciples, so countless people gather at the mountain where Huoyun Hall is located.

During these three days, Kong Fang stayed in his hut and never came out. Before becoming an inner hall disciple, Kong Fang could not practice magic power, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the elders. Without magic power, he could not practice Taoism. However, Kong Fang was not idle. During these three days, he was studying the formation of thousands of methods.

Formations can not only be used to activate weapons, but also to build mountain gates, cave dwellings, etc.

The uses of formations are numerous, but good formations are extremely precious and difficult to obtain. Even in a weapon sect that has stood for 20,000 years, it is impossible to obtain a set of formations casually, let alone a better one.

If you want to obtain a better formation, you must accumulate a lot of sect contributions to exchange for it.

However, Kong Fang no longer thought about exchanging for the formations in the sect. No matter how good the formations in the Qi Sect were, could they be better than the Thousand Formations in his hand? The Thousand Formations was a collection of countless formations by a powerful formation master. Even the master of the secret house in the Butterfly Realm thought it was very good. Its preciousness was not comparable to the formations that could be exchanged in the Qi Sect. Even the formations collected by the Qi Sect's master and elders might not be as precious as the Thousand Formations.

With such a precious array method in hand, Kong Fang naturally would not waste time and spent all three days studying array methods. During these three days, Kong Fang was fascinated and completely immersed in the vast world of array methods. However, what made Kong Fang a little regretful was that during these three days, he could not even thoroughly study one of the 800 basic array methods, which made Kong Fang's self-confidence a little hit.

However, Kong Fang did not understand one thing at all, that is, these 800 basic formations were classified by the formation master. The most basic formation in the eyes of a formation master may not be the basic in his eyes. It was actually very remarkable that he could make such progress in just three days.

However, this is also caused by the lack of comparison. Kong Fang doesn't know the situation of others, so naturally he thinks that he is not doing well enough.

Although Kong Fang was reluctant to waste time participating in the competition, he would rather study the Thousand Formation Methods. But this was the competition held by the Weapon Sect every two years after all, and it was related to his future destiny, so Kong Fang had to rush to the mountain where the Fire Cloud Hall was located even if he was reluctant.

Kong Fang, the richest disciple in Qi Zong, still went out wearing his clothes that were full of holes and even stained with blood. It was not that Kong Fang was unwilling to change into good clothes, but the problem was that he had nowhere to find clothes, so he could only make do with it. Fortunately, everything would be better when he became an inner hall disciple.

Kong Fang glanced at the small mound opposite the col and a trace of regret appeared on his face again.

"It's been three days, Zhao Yong, and you haven't received any news about the two followers. Why can you still keep your composure? It would be better if you came to question me directly, so that I can take you outside the sect to have a good talk." Kong Fang muttered in dissatisfaction, then shook his head and left.

An ordinary follower is not worth Kong Fang's risk in Qi Zong.

After Kong Fang walked away, Yan Guang came out from behind the mound.

Looking at Kong Fang's receding back, Yan Guang's face was full of confusion.

"Three days have passed, and there is still no news from Qian Ziguang and Wang Hao. Something must have really happened. But why did they suddenly leave if they were not monitoring Kong Fang?" Yan Guang has been thinking about this question for three days, but still can't figure it out.

Three nights ago, Zhao Yong didn't see Qian Ziguang and Wang Hao come back, and he felt something was wrong, so he asked Yan Guang to come here quickly to check if Kong Fang was still there.

However, Kong Fang had already returned by then, so Yan Guang naturally didn't notice anything unusual.

"Through these three days of observation, Kong Fang's behavior has not changed at all. He probably doesn't know that we are monitoring him. Moreover, with his frail body, it is impossible for him to lead Qian Ziguang and Wang Hao away, let alone kill them both at the same time. It can't be Kong Fang, but... then who could it be?" Yan Guang was looking for the person who killed Qian Ziguang and Wang Hao, but he didn't think of Kong Fang, whom he was monitoring.

Not only Yan Guang, but also Zhao Yong did not believe that Kong Fang could do this. Both of them were secretly looking for an opponent who did not exist at all, but they only ignored their real opponent.

But this is no wonder. Kong Fang looks so thin. Without taking action, no one would know how terrifying the power he possesses is.

……

The mountain where Huoyun Hall is located,

Thousands of people gathered at the foot of the mountain, including nearly a thousand new disciples and many servants. These servants were not only there to watch the fun, but also had other purposes. The servants chatted with the new disciples around them, hoping that the new disciples in front of them were one of the thirty people who would become inner hall disciples.

Once the people they make friends with become inner-hall disciples, they might have the opportunity to become this person's followers, thus changing their status and embarking on the path of cultivation they have always dreamed of.

Going up the mountain road, some inner hall disciples stood in groups of three or four chatting casually, while some stood alone and far away, looking at the people below the mountain. In fact, the inner hall disciples did not need to participate in the evaluation meeting, but every time there were always some inner hall disciples who came to join in the fun, and only they themselves knew the purpose.

At the entrance of Huoyun Hall, several elders who were hosting the competition sat together, chatting and laughing with each other. It was not yet time for the competition to start, and many people had not arrived yet, so the elders were not in a hurry.

Soon, Kong Fang arrived at the foot of the mountain. He first glanced at the thousands of people at the foot of the mountain, then moved his eyes upwards, looking towards the mountain.

When he saw those inner hall disciples, Kong Fang suddenly felt eager.

"Soon I will become one of them, and then I will be able to practice openly. I don't have to be afraid of being discovered like I do now. Moreover, I have the Thousand Star Level practice technique bestowed by the master of the secret house. The speed of refining magic power will definitely be faster than any inner hall disciple, and my strength will also increase faster." Kong Fang was very excited, and at the same time, he was looking forward to that moment coming sooner.
