Although Zhao Meng's voice was low, it was still heard by several people around him. Someone quickly pulled the corner of his clothes, signaling him to speak more quietly.

Li Wu was also feeling annoyed when he heard what Zhao Meng said.

He originally thought that according to the previous rules, even if it was a random fight, with his own strength, it would not be a problem to defeat most of the competitors in the first round.

There are only a handful of people who can pose a threat to his competition for the position of chief true disciple.

But now it’s hard to say if the rules will change suddenly.

At this moment, a shrill voice came from the side:

"Brother Li, don't take it personally. It's just a change in the rules. How big of a deal can it be?"

"Although it's a bit troublesome, think about it, if three rounds are combined into one, the elimination speed will definitely be faster. By then, who else besides you will be qualified for the position of the chief disciple?"

Li Wu's tense expression relaxed slightly.

"That makes sense..."

Afterwards, Yunfeng on the high platform suppressed the noise below and announced again: "Everyone, follow me out of the city!"

Everyone followed the general and saw dust flying in the distance as the Yunzhou army marched forward in a mighty manner.

Looking at the endless army, they were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths and started to speculate.

After the army joined forces with the Xuanfeng team, they headed out of the city together.

Along the way, the discussion of the crowd never stopped.

"What the hell is going on? Why bring so many troops with you? It's too weird."

"Perhaps Commander Li has some special arrangements. How can we, the little minions, guess it?"

After marching for thirty miles, the team arrived at the foot of a rolling mountain range.

Yunfeng gave a loud order: "The army will set up camp where it is!"

Afterwards, he gathered all the people who participated in the peak selection to his side.

"Everyone, this peak selection is not an ordinary competition."

The general glanced at everyone and slowly began to explain. After a moment, Xia He was quite stunned.

"Suppressing bandits?"

He was a little overwhelmed to react for a moment.

"Oh...I see."

"Brother Xia, haven't you heard about it yet?" Peng Xin, who was standing by, saw that he looked confused, leaned in and whispered, "This time we are not suppressing ordinary bandits, but the remnants of the [Ba Dao Sect]."

"【Ba Dao Men】?"

Xia He was stunned, and the once famous first-class sect emerged in his mind.

He has been busy in Yunzhou these days and naturally learned a lot of information about Yunzhou.

He remembered that the Ba Dao Sect was quite famous in the Yunzhou area, with seven or eight martial arts schools in the city alone and over a thousand disciples.

Logically speaking, when the barbarian army attacks, we should provide support.

But when Wanyan Bi's army attacked, [Ba Dao Men] chose to stand aside and watch, and even...

"You heard me right,"

Peng Xin saw his expression change and continued to explain,

"It is said that the leader of the [Ba Dao Sect] was once a disciple of Li Dushi, so he can be considered his junior fellow apprentice."

"This time, he was instigated by Wanyan Bi to rebel. When the barbarian army attacked Yunzhou, he not only did not lend a helping hand, but secretly colluded with the barbarians, attempting to cooperate with the barbarians from inside and outside to capture Yunzhou City in one fell swoop."

After hearing this, Xia He couldn't help but want to laugh and felt speechless.

"This is definitely a slap in the face to Commander Li."

"What benefit did Wanyan Bi promise him to make him take such a big risk?"

"Who knows?"

Peng Xin sneered, "What a pity. No matter how well he planned, he didn't expect that Commander Li would come so soon."

"Hey, Brother Xia, after all, this matter is still related to you."

If it weren't for the great victory in Liangzhou, General Li would not have led the four battalions to rescue Yunzhou so quickly and forced back Wanyan Bi's barbarian army in one fell swoop.

The leader of the "Badao Sect" had apparently become Wanyan Bi's abandoned son and was now trapped in the mountains, with no way out.

"Once Li Dushi arrived, there was no more trouble."

Peng Xin lowered his voice.

"All the disciples of the Ba Dao Sect in Yunzhou City were arrested and thrown into prison. As for the remnants in the mountains, it is said that there are more than 2,000 of them, who took the sect's property and hid in the mountains."

"Commander Li sent the White Tiger Battalion to encircle and suppress the enemy, but they have been surrounding them without attacking."

"First, Commander Li wants to use this opportunity to train his troops,"

"Secondly, the mountains are extremely dangerous. Not only are there remnants of the Tyrant Blade Sect, but there are also countless ferocious beasts. It is said that some of these beasts are even comparable to Xuanxiang warriors and are extremely difficult to deal with."

"He also learned to found a sect, and killed anyone he saw, and then he became a spirit through cultivation."

“Good fellow…”

Xia He was startled when he heard this.

"So if you look at it this way, the strange beasts we killed in Daliang Mountain before were all in their infancy, so they were not difficult to deal with."

After all, the potential gap between the strange beasts is also very large. Some can be dealt with by blood refining warriors, while some are even stronger than "Xuanxiang" warriors.

"Doesn't that mean he is invincible under the Martial Saint?"

The selection of the peaks this time was to let the participating generals lead 300 soldiers into the mountains, and the number of rebellious disciples captured would be used as the assessment standard.

That is to say,

"Whoever captures more people will have a chance to be appreciated by Li Dushi. If you can capture the leader of the [Ba Dao Sect], you will have the best chance to become Li Dushi's chief disciple."

The personnel who would go into the mountains to suppress the bandits were naturally selected from Yunzhou. Xia He stood in the crowd, looking around, secretly calculating in his mind.

A camp in the distance was particularly conspicuous, with the battle flags of the White Tiger Camp fluttering in the wind. It was obvious that they were the main force of this operation.

After hearing the rules, the selected peak warriors around had different expressions.

Daxinglongling, the name of this mountain range is well-known in Yunzhou area.

Looking down from a high place, the mountains are rolling and undulating, covering a vast area with complex terrain. From time to time, low roars of animals can be heard from the depths of the dense forest, which is chilling.
