After crossing over, I was favored by the villain

Jin Yan knew they would ask this question, so she said bluntly, "It's not an exaggeration to say that this dense forest is where the Nanyuan Kingdom raises spirit beasts. It belongs to a country's forest and is heavily guarded. It's difficult for ordinary people to set foot in it. I also want so many inner pills to improve my cultivation."

"Besides, let's think about it in the simplest way. Over the years, the court of Nanyuan State has been composed of royal relatives. The foundation of the country many years ago was to ensure peace in the area. But now they want to recruit talented people to serve as officials in the court. Have you ever thought seriously about its purpose?"

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Even Jin Yan was only here to improve his cultivation and had never thought of becoming an official in the court.

People in the court are only there to benefit the people and make a name for themselves. Since the court is full of royal relatives, why do we need such talented people to fill the court?

"So, is it possible that the external gathering and the organization of the competition were all schemes of the Lord of Nanyuan?"

"How can we, outsiders, be allowed to share their power and wealth?"

"What's the purpose? To contain the royal family?"

"Perhaps it is true as Senior Sister said, the court is full of royal relatives, and we enter the court just to serve as a living target to contain the royal relatives. Once there is a problem, we will kill them as a warning to others, without involving other powers, and we can also serve as a chicken to scare the monkeys...?"

"The benefit is that I can get the help of the sect, and as my senior brother said, I can kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, killing two birds with one stone. This is definitely a scapegoat."

One of them touched his chin and chuckled, which caught Jin Yan's attention.

"Brother, what are you laughing at?"

The man bowed and said, "Sister, I have a good friend who is now practicing in Phoenix Pavilion. Before I came here, I wrote a letter to my friend, inviting her to come with me. But the Pavilion Master of Phoenix Pavilion strictly forbade the disciple to participate in the competition, saying that he disdained to be associated with the King of Nanyuan. I believe the Pavilion Master of Phoenix Pavilion should have known the reason long ago, so he strictly forbade the disciple to take action."

[The Phoenix Sect Leader? It is a sect that understands things. It is precisely because the leader of Fengtian Kingdom has always been upright and honest, and he is even more disdainful of power struggles. He is dedicated to serving the country and the people according to the foundation of the country. He is also the only leader worthy of respect among the five countries. The Phoenix Sect Leader also upholds this attitude and is very friendly to the disciples in the sect. He does not mind disciples of different surnames and treats them equally. ]

[It's just that the final outcome of the King of Fengtian Kingdom was too tragic, which is really a pity. ]

Jin Yan nodded, "Yes, Master Phoenix, a sect worthy of respect."

"Senior sister also knows the Phoenix Sect Leader?"

Jin Yan nodded, "I know, it's a good sect, and we'll have a good relationship with your good friend."

The man was overjoyed, "Yes, Senior Sister."

He was still worried about whether Zitan Pavilion would launch attacks on various sects after its rise, and whether it would become enemies with his good friends. Now it seems that his worries were unnecessary.

After chatting for a while, there was a rustling sound outside and everyone became alert.

Jin Yan also stood up, "Many people came here because of the temptation of the tenth-level inner elixir."

"Master is still refining, and the brothers are still regulating their breathing. What should we do, Senior Sister?"

Jin Yan smiled and said, "It's time for us to stretch our muscles."

Wan Ling also came over, "Senior Sister, your spiritual energy has not yet fully recovered. I haven't had any formal training since I came down the mountain."

"Then there's no need to show mercy." Jin Yan reminded.

After hearing this, more than a dozen righteous monks nodded and followed Jin Yan's footsteps, walking out of the cave.

As soon as I walked out, I found that the outside of the cave had been surrounded by layers of enemies. It was very different from the siege yesterday. Only a small number of people followed Yu Zibo.

Yu Zibo saw clearly the people coming out, the leader was Jin Yan, he raised his eyebrows, "It's you again! Jin Yan, you are fine after all."

Jin Yan rubbed his nose and said, "I'm sorry to disappoint you."

She was not worried at all. These people in front of her were only here for the tenth-level inner elixir. They could not resist Yu Zibo's temptation and came to question him. She would have a verbal battle first and make these people give up.

"Oh, stop talking nonsense. You few people think you can stop us?" Yu Zibo tightened the sword in his hand. This time he was determined to take Jin Yan's life.

Jin Yan shrugged, "You just want the tenth-level inner elixir."

Yu Zibo narrowed his eyes and said, "As long as you give it to me obediently, I promise to leave you with an intact body."

Jin Yan bowed slightly, "Thank you for your kindness, Young Prince, but I'm afraid you are a step too late. The tenth-level inner elixir has already been refined by Master."

"What did you say?" Yu Zibo couldn't believe it. Seeing that the people behind him were already wavering, he hurriedly said, "Don't listen to her nonsense. If they refine the tenth-level inner elixir, how will they report it? This woman is good at sweet talk and is just trying to deceive you."

Jin Yan covered her face and smiled, "Young Prince really understands me." She looked around and saw that many people were already wavering, and then said, "But I didn't lie this time. The tenth-level inner elixir is so precious. If I don't refine it to improve my cultivation, do I really have to hand it over and let others do the same?"

"What do you mean by that?" Someone pointed a sword at Jin Yan.

Jin Yan didn't say anything. The disciple behind him stood up and shouted, "You stupid people, you don't even know you've become someone else's target, and you're still wasting your time here."

Seeing that the people behind him were wavering, Yu Zibo explained anxiously, "Don't listen to rumors. If you get thirty inner pills and are favored by the court, you will have countless wealth and glory, and even supreme power. Those who have the tenth-level inner pill will be at the top of the list and be personally conferred by the emperor. Aren't these the reasons why you came here? How can you listen to others' instigation?"

Jin Yan's fellow apprentices were about to retort, but were stopped by Jin Yan, "They are just a bunch of ignorant people, why remind them?"

The fellow apprentices also took a step back and said no more.

Yu Zibojian stabilized the person behind him, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously. He silently cursed Jin Yan in his heart and looked at him. "You don't have to make alarmist remarks here. Just hand over the tenth-level inner elixir and don't force us to take action."

"Then let's do it. I also want to see, how many fellow Taoists will the young prince sacrifice this time?" Jin Yan said deliberately.

"You!" Yu Zibo's eyes widened. He didn't expect Jin Yan to speak out his thoughts. How could he make use of these idiots behind him?

If I had known that there were only a few of them, I wouldn't have called these idiots to waste my time.

The person behind him reminded him, "Young Prince, we are not counselors of Prince Yu's Mansion. Please make a sample yourself for us to observe."

Yu Zibo looked fiercely at the person behind him. The person who spoke was none other than Xiahou Jing's chief disciple and Xiahou Heng, the young master of Xiahou.

This person is not easy to deal with, so there is no other way. Since he can't use these people, he will do it himself. At least he will tear Jin Yan's mouth to prevent her from ruining his good deeds all the time.

Yu Zibo did not delay any longer, drew out the sword in his hand, stepped up, and attacked Jin Yan.
