A huge cloud boat was filled with disciples of Pengshan Sect. The cloud boat was carrying disciples who were going to exchange ideas with other sects.
At this moment, all the disciples were sitting cross-legged in one place, either cultivating or closing their eyes to rest.
But in a secluded corner of this cloud boat, there was one exception: a person who was staring blankly at the clouds on the horizon.
This person was Wu Er.
Wu Er went to participate in some sect exchange competition. That's right, he, a dignified sect leader, went to participate in the disciples' competition.
Maybe it's because I'm just so bored...
I spend all day idling on Xiaoyuan Peak, so bored that all I can do is hang myself.
Looking at the fluffy white clouds in the sky, Wu Er couldn't help but stare blankly.
Although all the clouds in the world look the same, Wu Er felt that the clouds here were different from those at Pengshan Gate.
The reason I feel this way is probably because I haven't been out for too long.
That's indeed the case; he hasn't left Pengshan Gate for two hundred years.
In the sky.
The cloud boat flies very high, just as its name suggests, it is a small boat traveling through the clouds.
Although the cloud boat was not small, it was not large compared to the entire sky, and it was not even as big as a single cloud.
Wu Er, who was standing by the cloud boat in a daze, reached out and grabbed a handful of the large cloud beside him.
It would have been better if I hadn't touched it, because once I did, the cloud that I had pulled down turned into water vapor, soaking half of my body.
"ha."
Wu Er chuckled, then used his spiritual power to evaporate the water from his body. He then muttered to himself, "Some books say that soft clouds are made of white sugar, but white sugar won't wet half of your body."
"Long Aotian!"
Someone called out to Wu Er, and when he turned around, he saw a neutral-looking face.
This person was none other than Han Qingxiu.
When Wu Er saw Han Qingxiu, he nodded and asked, "What's wrong? Is something the matter?"
"Hmph, you bastard!"
Han Qingxiu looked at Wu Er, and a hint of anger appeared on her face. Her jaw twitched slightly, and she seemed to be grinding her teeth, like a wild beast about to devour someone.
He looked like he was about to eat Wu Er alive.
Since the sect competition two days ago, Han Qingxiu has looked like this whenever she sees Wu Er.
After all, they've wiped out someone's savings over the years; it's already quite polite of them not to just rush up and beat them up.
Why aren't you cultivating? Why are you just standing here daydreaming?
Han Qingxiu frowned and asked a question.
Upon hearing this question, Wu Er shrugged and said, "Why do we need to cultivate?"
"Why aren't you cultivating? We're going here to bring glory to our sect, shouldn't we be preparing properly?" Han Qingxiu's face was full of anger as she said angrily, "How did I end up in a group with you? I'm so angry!"
"I was wondering how we ended up in the same group!"
Wu Er said helplessly.
This grouping is in accordance with the competition rules for exchanges among disciples of the various sects.
The first round of the sect exchange competition is also an elimination system, which eliminates a large number of people first, and then the remaining people compete.
And this grouping is the rule for the first round of elimination.
Disciples from the same sect are divided into groups of three and then enter a secret realm to complete specific tasks.
After the group assignments were completed, Wu Er was grouped with Xiong Ao and Han Qingxiu...
Teaming up with two sworn enemies is quite something.
As a result, Wu Er complained about this rule countless times.
It's just a competition, you can just fight directly, why make so many fancy moves? How bored must the person who came up with these competition rules be?
If they weren't bored, they wouldn't have set up so many rules, treating their junior disciples like monkeys.
"You are truly unruly and incorrigible!"
Seeing that Wu Er still looked indifferent, Han Qingxiu angrily walked away, giving him a fierce glare as she went to the side.
"Ugh, what a hassle. How did I end up drawing the same lot as her? I should have just rigged it."
Then Wu Er leaned against the railing at the edge of the cloud boat and looked up at the sun.
Wu Er accomplished with ease what ordinary humans could never do.
However, just as they were admiring the sun...
A dark cloud drifted over from nowhere, landing directly above the cloud boat and blocking out the sun.
"Dark clouds?"
Wu Er raised his eyebrows, looked at the dark clouds for a while, and then nodded.
He calmly said, "I knew it! There are white clouds all around, where did these black clouds come from? They're just sky pirates. But these sky pirates are really bold, daring to rob Pengshan Sect."
Sky pirates and piracy are similar; both involve plundering, but one operates at sea and the other in the air.
The sudden appearance of the dark clouds also attracted the attention of the disciples below. They all stopped meditating and stood up to look at the dark clouds in the sky.
Everyone was wondering why dark clouds would drift by on such a sunny day.
Sudden.
Several chains suddenly descended from the dark clouds. Each chain was half a zhang thick and engraved with various runes, shimmering with spiritual light.
The chains came straight for the cloud boat, each one like a serpent, and they tightly bound the cloud boat.
"This emptiness is what I created! These clouds are what I carry! If you wish to pass through here, leave behind your treasures!"
A shout came from the dark clouds, followed by a surge of spiritual energy, and then a gust of evil wind blew up.
This evil wind was also strange; although it wasn't strong, it made the disciples on the Pengshan Gate's cloud boat twist and turn, unable to stand steadily.
At this moment, the dark clouds slowly dispersed, and something was revealed behind them.
It was also a cloud boat, but this cloud boat was entirely black and covered with various strange runes.
At a glance, you can tell that the person piloting this cloud boat is not a good person.
