However, what she said makes sense. There is still a long time before the competition ends, and even if they want to stay away from trouble, it will be difficult for the Beast Taming Sect to remain unscathed.
In the end, Zhou Han agreed to try Tian Ning's suggestion, since there were no other options at the moment.
If he fails, he will lead his more skilled disciples to escape beforehand...
So, the Beast Taming Sect members went to the place Tian Ning had mentioned to set up a trap, as Tian Ning had instructed. As for Wenren Yang and Long Han, they went with Tian Ning to 'fish'.
"How can you lead people to where the elders are?" Long Han asked.
He felt that Tianning's first step was difficult, and if he was not careful, he could very well get himself killed.
Tian Ning succinctly stated: "Just follow me."
The three sects' disciples together were numerous and a big target, so Wenren Xue specially arranged for everyone to form small teams to catch any stragglers around the main group.
Tian Ning easily found a small team, with three disciples from each of the three sects: Talisman, Body, and Alchemy.
Three of the alchemists were acting as bait, sitting naked in the center of the continent to rest, while six disciples from the Fuxian Sect and the Body Tempering Sect were hiding in the shadows.
As if he hadn't noticed the trap, Tian Ning attacked the alchemist directly. Immediately, a body cultivator came out to protect him, while the talisman cultivator threw out talismans to launch an attack.
"Oh no! An ambush!"
Tian Ning cried out, barely dodging the thrown talisman, but was unfortunately struck by a palm strike from a body cultivator. Her frail body couldn't withstand it; she staggered back several steps and coughed up a mouthful of blood: "Pfft!"
Long Han, who had transformed into a small snake and was wrapped around Wenren Yang's arm, was speechless.
He said she had inexplicably drunk some tomato juice earlier!
"Sixth Sister!" Wenren Yang exclaimed in surprise.
One of the cultivators immediately recognized her: "She's the Tian Ning we're looking for! Wenren Xue said that whoever gets her eliminated will get 10 points!"
That's quite a generous gesture.
Now all of them were eyeing Tianning with predatory intent; he was a real piece of meat.
Tianning barely managed to support her severely injured and swaying body. Her face was deathly pale as she cried out urgently, "Fourth Brother... I... we have to go!"
Wenren Yang was slightly taken aback. Although he knew it was acting, her pitiful appearance and aggrieved way of calling him "Fourth Brother" inexplicably made his heart ache...
These disciples, unaware of the dangers of the world, immediately became overconfident upon seeing the weakened Tian Ning, who was only accompanied by Wenren Yang from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
"Catch her! Crush her jade token and you'll get 10 points!" a disciple of the Dan Ding Clan urged urgently.
Thus, the audience saw the weakened Tianning being carried away by Wenren on a sword, with six of his disciples relentlessly pursuing them.
Perhaps because the two of them were standing on a sword, they couldn't shake off their pursuers no matter what. Shortly after the sparrows above Tianning's head chirped twice, the two changed their escape route and were soon surrounded in a valley.
With nowhere to retreat, Tianning clutched a non-existent wound as she faced the pursuing enemy, her eyes filled with despair.
"Is this the end of the competition for me...?"
As she spoke, she coughed up a mouthful of red liquid, a gesture that was incredibly poignant.
Wenren Yang: "..."
A disciple of the Body Tempering Sect, unaware of the truth, let out a strange, cackling laugh: "Junior Sister Tianning, is it? Don't blame us, it's just that Wenren Xue of the Talisman Immortal Sect offered to exchange ten jade tokens for your elimination. So just rest in peace!"
