272 Alliance Hunt Begins! (2/2)
”For example, if it was our Lightning Sword Sect who sent someone in to check, and Little Brother emerged as the champion of the Alliance Hunt... if anybody from the other sects suspected anything, they could challenge him. If they managed to win the challenge, they could become the champion immediately. And if Little Brother loses, he will have to take the points of the other person and exchange positions with the person who had challenged him.
”So, this task of searching and checking the Guiyao planet before the hunt begins is a difficult task with no benefits... this time, it just happened to be their turn. Otherwise, who would volunteer to do this?”
After hearing He Mengxi's explanation, Da Zhuang understood everything and was no longer worried.
He had asked this because he had been worried that someone would do something to Zhou Donghuang's disadvantage. Because to him, in this Alliance Hunt, if nobody cheated, his little brother would definitely emerge as champion... he was absolutely confident in his little brother!
Just as He Mengxi had said, within half a day, those three elders had emerged once again.
However, they did not bring anyone else out with them.
Clearly, there were no intruders on the planet.
”We can begin.”
After the three hosts had returned, they looked at each of the sect leaders in the Alliance, and one of them stepped forward and declared, ”Now, I seek the assistance of the sect leaders to allow your Dharma adepts to enter the Guiyao planet in an orderly manner.”
”After three months, which is ninety days from now, everybody must return. By then, we will only wait for a day.
”Those who do not come out within a day, no matter how many brains they bring out, will not receive any points at all.”
The three hosts came from three different sects of the 52 sects of the Alliance and were considered among the senior elders of the three sects. Any of them was at least in the mid Divine Transformation stage... precisely because of this, they did not spend too long before they managed to search the entire Guiyao planet. Based on their superior level of skill and their corresponding Divine Will, they were able to accomplish this easily.
With that, the 52 Sect Leaders of the Alliance got to work.
The Dharma adepts of each of the 52 sects were directed to enter the Guiyao planet.
Each sect had forty people, so in total, the 52 sects had more than two thousand people.
A group of two thousand people gathered together seemed like a huge crowd, but once they were dispersed within the Guiyao planet, it was not considered much.
As for Zhou Donghuang, he entered the Guiyao planet together with He Mengxi, Da Zhuang, and the rest of the Dharma adepts of the Lightning Sword Sect.
Because the whole group of them were only at the Dharma stage, when they were sent to the Guiyao planet, they did not cause any disturbances in the formation set up surrounding the planet... they were like fish that leaped out of the surface of the ocean, then sinking back into the vast ocean, as if nothing had happened at all.
”Zhou Donghuang, why don't you give me a lift?”
The Spring Valley disciple and the only son of the Spring Valley Head, Liu Lang, came up to Zhou Donghuang with a wide smile plastered on his face. ”It does not have to be too long... just a few days, how about that?”
To him, as long as he stuck close to Zhou Donghuang, it would not only be safer for him, but more efficient as well.
Of course, he was just an early Dharma adept, while Zhou Donghuang would surely be targeting late Dharma beasts and above, so he could not possibly gain points through him.
The rules of the Alliance Hunt stated that if an early Dharma adept killed a beast in the late Dharma stage or above, besides bringing the head of the beast back, the adept would also have to display the power necessary to kill such a beast in front of everyone... for that, a group of people would follow him into the Guiyao planet to witness him kill a beast of that level.
Only after that could he gain any points.
This was the case for mid Dharma adepts as well.
You could take a beast that someone else killed, but it could only be a beast of one level above your own skill level.
To gain the points from a beast two levels above yours? You would have to display that you were capable of killing it by yourself.
After all, an early Dharma adept would gain a thousand points by killing a late Dharma beast, and ten thousand points by killing an ultimate Dharma beast.
In such circumstances, if Zhou Donghuang killed an ultimate Dharma beast and gave the head of the beast to Liu Lang, he would be able to easily gain ten thousand points, and who would be able to compete with him?
This was clearly against the initial intentions of the Alliance Hunt.
To kill a beast just one skill level above yours, the rules were not as strict, because for the disciples of the various sects in the Alliance who were able to take part in the Alliance Hunt, they would most probably have the power to kill a beast one level above theirs...
Even the weakest adepts in the Alliance Hunt, if they used all their might, would probably be able to kill a beast one skill level above their own, but it would be extremely exhausting.
Such as Liu Lang, he had the confidence to kill a middle Dharma adept, but it would take huge effort from him.
If Zhou Donghuang helped him to kill the beast, wouldn't it be a simple favor for a friend?
