552 Each Making Their Own Preparations! (2/2)

Wang Baole raised his eyebrows upon hearing that.

”What is the purpose of this trial, then?”

Yun Piaozi chuckled when he heard the question, before sending another voice transmission.

”There is, of course, no meaning. Most disciples wouldn't stand a chance. Therefore, to a certain extent, this is very unfair. I guess that everything has already been secretly determined, and others are just there to be part of the show.

”However, these are just my guesses. I have also heard that in response to the unfairness, the three Elders have made alternative preparations. As for the details, they would probably only be made known when the trial begins.”

Yun Piaozi was only aware of all that. He didn't know of the finer details. Wang Baole even sent a voice transmission to Xie Haiyang to ask about it and received the same answer. Xie Haiyang wasn't unaware of the finer details on how to resolve the unfairness, but he required a hefty payment.

Even though he had given Wang Baole a great discount on account of them having numerous transactions, Wang Baole still felt that Xie Haiyang was too opportunistic and directly rejected his offer.

”Fifty thousand battle credits for a piece of news… Extortion!” Wang Baole mumbled as he put down the voice transmission ring. He couldn't bear to buy it, as, after all, everyone would know if they simply waited for a maximum of seven more days.

Even though there were advantages to knowing about it in advance, Wang Baole still felt that it wasn't worth it the more he thought about it. Therefore, he refocused his attention on Feng Qiuran, thinking about whether he should pay her a visit. After all, his current batch of Federation Seedlings could be considered to be under her lead. He was also a Core Formation realm cultivator and would probably have a place amongst the two hundred people.

While Wang Baole was deep in thought, Feng Qiuran was in her cave abode, immersed in her low spirits. She had been unhappy for the past few days, as the alliance between Daoist You Ran and Mie Liezi this time had left her helpless in retaliating. After analyzing the matter in detail, she realized that Mie Liezi had the upper hand throughout the entire negotiation.

Right now, there was a huge problem before her. If she wanted to maintain the alliance with the Federation, one of the Federation disciples had to receive a Hyacinthus Tree leaf.

However, there were two challenges to accomplishing this. The first was that more unhappiness might arise in the people under her lead, which would increase their disloyalty towards her. That was still a secondary problem, as the second, and most important point is that… For the Federation to receive the leaf, it was simply too difficult.

Even though she was optimistic about the Federation's capabilities, she was optimistic about its future, not its present. In reality, she also didn't think that, at this stage, the Federation cultivators were more capable than the Vast Expanse Dao Palace cultivators. Under her judgment, it was impossible to emerge in the top three in the six hundred people trial!

After all, there were numerous personal disciples amongst them. Their potential and brilliance, when fully supported by the Vast Expanse Dao Palace, were things that the Federation couldn't compete against.

Therefore, in order to accomplish the second point, there was a need to make her personal disciples give up… Thinking of that, she sighed and looked towards the door of her cave abode. Before long, greetings were heard outside her cave abode, and two cultivators entered.

The duo were youths, one as good looking as a lady. When he stood there, he let out an elegant and gentle demeanor. If he held a fan in his hands, he would seem like a Young Master. After entering the cave abode, he greeted Feng Qiuran with cupped fists.

”Disciple Xu Ming greets Master.”

”Disciple Lu Yun greets Master!” The other person looked older and clearly stronger in terms of physique. There was a look of determination in his eyes, like a hill. Even his voice was powerful.

Looking at both of them, a smile finally appeared on Feng Qiuran's face. Both of them were the disciples that she looked upon most favorably, and they were also well-known Core Formation realm disciples in the Dao Palace!

They could be considered the juniors she had the highest hopes of in her entire line!

”Ming'er and Yun'er, I have a task that I need both of you to complete!”
