As Jiang Li listened to Lu Qianqian's words, he also remembered some of Yu Banxia's abnormalities.

On the flying boat returning to the sect, Yu Banxia suddenly expressed confidently that he wanted to participate in the outer sect competition.

Jiang Li felt a little strange at the time, but after the other party explained it, he didn't think much about it.

But thinking back now, the other person's confidence was exactly the same as mine, and he was completely confident.

It seems that when he was in southern India, he really encountered something special, or "opportunity".

But, there’s that question again, why did he defect?

No! It doesn't matter what Yu Banxia thinks now.

In this matter, the person who played the leading role was obviously Elder Duan.

That Elder Duan possesses a powerful mutated ice spiritual root, and is deeply trusted and valued by the sect.

That's why he was sent to lead a team to southern India to bring back the two thousand unconscious children.

Not only that, he also rushed to the lower reaches of the Mazu River with his flying boat in time to provide support and successfully dealt a fatal blow to the Jindan corpse demon. Logically speaking, he should have no reason to defect.

Or... Defection was not a decision they made on their own? "It seems that this vortex is much more terrifying than I imagined."

Before Lu Qianqian could be calmed down, the fat man Yan Hong came running over in a hurry.

Since he entered the sect, he had less contact with Yu Banxia and the others, so the interrogation he received was relatively light.

However, after hearing the news, he rushed over out of concern.

Of course, the person he was worried about was only Jiang Li.

"Jiang Li! Have you heard?"

The nimble fat man rushed into the hut, and when he saw the mess and Lu Qianqian sobbing, he immediately realized that Jiang Li had heard it.

"Jiang Li, go to the Outer Sect Affairs Hall immediately! Quickly cancel the registration for the Outer Sect Competition!"

Yan Hong didn't have time to say anything else before he pulled Jiang Li out.

"What happened again? What happened to the outer sect competition?"

Jiang Li was overwhelmed, he just wanted to have a crushing victory in the arena, why was it so difficult?

"There's no time to talk, come with me now, or it will be too late when the list is confirmed!"

Yan Hong was very anxious, but the difference in strength between him and Jiang Li was so huge that he couldn't pull him at all.

"I think... it's probably too late."

Jiang Li took the wooden sign off the table and handed it to Yan Hong.

"Someone from the Outer Sect Law Enforcement Hall came just now and asked me to gather tomorrow."

"Tell me about any changes in the outer sect competition."

Yan Hong took the token and immediately slumped down, beating his chest and stamping his feet.

"Jiang Li, you don't know that this outer sect competition is for you to help hunt down the defecting disciples!"

Jiang Li learned about this through Yan Hong's observations in the trading area.

It turned out that just last night, Elder Duan and several of his disciples seized the sect's flying boat and fled.

However, because they forcibly used the flying boat without permission, their whereabouts were soon exposed and they were hunted down by the sect.

Eventually, the flying boat was shot down by the sect elders during the pursuit. Elder Duan then took his disciples and hid in a mortal city. He is still on the run.

For some unknown reason, the sect was unwilling to launch large-scale attacks on mortal cities, and inner disciples were relatively valuable and could not be sent into the city at will to search and die.

It happened to be the time for the outer sect competition, so the sect leaders simply changed the content of the competition and asked the outer sect disciples to enter the city for a carpet search.

As long as one can find the whereabouts of the defecting disciples, he will be able to stand out among the outer disciples and become an inner disciple.

Jiang Li's fingers banged on the table.

The news brought by Yan Hong also brought him considerable pressure.

The sect's move is tantamount to sending the outer disciples to their deaths.

So what if we find the whereabouts of the defecting disciple?

Among the defecting team, there is a powerful elder in the Jindan stage.

Even if the signal was sent out and the competition was won, that outer disciple would definitely die.

How could he have the luck to become a high and mighty inner sect disciple? Jiang Li was not sure if he could become a Jindan elder or even a foundation-building inner sect disciple.

But the sect obviously did not give them any room to refuse. Once the list was released, the order was final and Jiang Li and the others had to go whether they wanted to or not.

Jiang Li is a little worried now, but more confused.

Why is the sect so unwilling to harm mortals on a large scale? Moreover, it is not just the Sutra Valley, it should be said that the entire cultivation world is actually like this.

Logically speaking, after mastering powerful forces, people's hearts will inevitably change. Even if most cultivators can abide by the Tao, fight against the strong and help the weak.

But what about the minority? What about those evil cultivators? When playing a game, there are always a lot of players who will go to slaughter the novice village. Jiang Li doesn't believe that there have been no such evil cultivators in the world of cultivation for so many years.

But from what he knew, such massacres were very rare, so rare that they had only occurred three times in the past few hundred years.

It’s not that Jiang Li is cold-blooded and bloodthirsty, but even if he is kind, he can’t be stupid enough to think that the whole world is pure and kind.

In the world of immortal cultivation where a single individual's great power could easily destroy a country, the probability of such a thing being so rare was truly bizarre.

As far as he knew, there were at least ten techniques that could be rapidly improved through large-scale massacres. What kind of mentality made the monks so "friendly" to mortals? In addition, as soon as Elder Duan hid in the human city, the sect was afraid to act.

And what I saw and heard in southern India during my previous mission.

This is unreasonable!

Jiang Li couldn't figure it out, which meant that there must be some key secret information that he didn't know.

I'm afraid... the monks are not unwilling to massacre, but they can't, or they don't dare!

"Brother Jiang Li...if...if you met Banxia...could you..."

Just when Jiang Li was confused, Lu Qianqian, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke again.

She didn't finish her sentence, but her meaning was clear.

I hope that if Jiang Li encounters Yu Banxia during the search, he can give him a chance to live or help him.

Jiang Li was speechless. Firstly, their relationship had not reached that point yet, and secondly, Jiang Li didn't think he had that ability.

Now, it is no longer a question of who lets whom go.

But he himself is also facing a huge life and death crisis.

After seeing Lu Qianqian off, Yan Hong stayed for a while, took out a lot of things, put them on the table, and asked him to take whatever he needed first.

Jiang Li was deeply moved.

"It's not convenient for me to walk around right now. I still have 400 spirit stones here. Can you help me buy something?"

Jiang Li handed over four medium-grade spirit stones and whispered a few words to Yan Hong.

"Leave it to me!"

Yan Hong patted his chest and left, while Jiang Li still sat there, reaching his hand into his arms and gently stroking the small coffin.
