#1205 - Chapter 1205: The rest of you need to fight me first!

Ye Kong put down his hoe, and looked up in disbelief, "Why?"

"For no reason, in short, we all hope you don't participate." Shengge said this as if it were perfectly justified.

"You all?" Ye Kong looked at Shengge, "Who else? Zhang Tie? Gongsun Qing?"

"It's not them." Shengge fidgeted with the corner of her clothes.

"Oh, well, no matter who it is, they can't make me give up this decision." Ye Kong continued his work, too lazy to look at Shengge again.

After not seeing each other for so many days, her first sentence was actually this.

Ye Kong didn't care what they thought.

Come on, if he didn't participate this time, he would have to wait another ten years.

Plus, what if someone defeated the twelve elders this time? Wouldn't the position of the 'Di' character elder be handed over to someone else?

No way, absolutely not! Ye Kong was very firm.

Shengge still didn't leave, seemingly determined to wait until Ye Kong agreed.

Ye Kong first weeded the medicinal field, then watered the newly planted herbs, and also loosened the soil on a nearby plot, busily working non-stop. The sun went from high noon to behind the mountains. Ye Kong picked up the teapot and drank three cups of tea in a row before feeling a little cooler. He picked up the towel behind him and wiped his face, seeing Shengge still standing in the same place through the gaps in the towel.

Ye Kong walked over, "Go back, I've made up my mind."

"Ye Kong, it's not that I intentionally want to stop you, it's just that there are too many secrets involved in this matter of filling the 'Di' character elder position. I just don't want you to get involved," Shengge could only offer this much warning.

"Secrets?" Ye Kong looked at Shengge. Recently, in the major events that had occurred, someone was always manipulating everything behind the scenes. Some were people from the Supreme Beginning Academy, and some were outsiders.

But the only goal was to stop Ye Kong.

Ye Kong suddenly thought that the small sect of Yuefeng Mountain had always been inconspicuous, but some people with ulterior motives had fabricated crimes, lurking for fifteen years, plotting to overthrow the Supreme Beginning Academy, step by step.

But who passed this message to the Upper Realm?

And how did Sima Shizun find out?

It's just that the Yuefeng Mountain faction was utterly defeated, and the plan in the cave in the back mountain was full of loopholes. Even if others believed it, could they deceive them?

Ye Kong patted Shengge's shoulder, "Thank you for your kindness, but I'm already involved and can't escape."

Only by winning and occupying the high ground would those hiding in the dark show themselves one by one.

He only hoped to deal with soldiers with generals, and water with earth.

But who could he rely on behind the scenes? Ye Kong thought about it. Who else was there?

Of course, there was one.

Why hadn't the system appeared yet? The reward for helping the Supreme Beginning Academy win the title of the number one sect in the world that was promised last time still hadn't been兑现!

Saying it was a vacation, could it be that the reward had been withheld?

Ye Kong tidied up the medicinal field, and as soon as he went out, he happened to meet Sima Shizun.

"What a coincidence, you're also taking a stroll here." Ye Kong blurted out a sentence, almost biting his tongue.

"It's not a coincidence, I've been waiting for you here for a long time," Sima Shizun said.

"Looking for me for something?" Ye Kong pointed at himself. He shouldn't have caused any trouble recently, right?

"Recently, a large number of ferocious beasts have appeared and wreaked havoc in Yunbian Town, a small town two hundred kilometers away from the Supreme Beginning Academy. The Yun clan stationed here is fighting hard to resist, suffering unspeakably. Therefore, they have specially requested help from our Supreme Beginning Academy. As the saying goes, when one place is in trouble, all places should support. I plan to arrange for you to lead a team to reinforce Yunbian Town."

Sima Shizun summarized the incident in a few words, and Ye Kong understood the general idea, "It's just that Yunbian Town is closest to the Evergreen Academy. Why didn't they ask the Evergreen Academy for help, but instead asked our Supreme Beginning Academy?"

"Firstly, it's because our Supreme Beginning Academy has the reputation of being the number one sect in the world, with many strong individuals. Secondly, the Yun clan and the Evergreen Academy are not on good terms, and they have also refused to help this time."

Of course, this statement came from the Upper Realm. The specifics didn't need to be explained too much. However, Ye Kong was specifically requested to go along.

"Of course, you can choose any disciples from the Supreme Beginning Academy to form a team freely. Moreover, you only need to drive the ferocious beasts out of Yunbian Town, so the task is not difficult."

Only drive them away but not kill them, then the ferocious beasts will come back.

The so-called cutting grass to remove the roots, it is necessary to kill the chicken to warn the monkey, and let these ferocious beasts go back to where they came from.

"I see." Ye Kong thought for a second. This kind of thing that added experience and might get good things from the ferocious beasts was really something he shouldn't pass up.

"When do we leave?" Ye Kong asked.

"About a week later."

Two days? To get rid of these hundreds of ferocious beasts? This was obviously impossible.

Could it be that Sima Shizun was also preventing Ye Kong from participating in the 'Di' character elder competition?

Ye Kong didn't think much about it and nodded in agreement first.

As soon as Ye Kong walked to the entrance of the cave, he found a large group of Supreme Beginning Academy disciples standing there.

Led by Zhang Tie and Gongsun Qing, they were looking forward to it. Seeing Ye Kong return, they immediately rushed to greet him.

Ye Kong's first reaction was, could it be that there was a fire in the cave?

Zhang Tie quickly ran over, grabbed Ye Kong's arm, and asked very intimately, "Ye Kong, I heard that you are the captain sent to Yunbian Town to drive away the ferocious beasts. I want to ask you, can you let me go with you to catch the ferocious beasts?"

Before Ye Kong could answer, a large wave of voices rang out behind him, "Ye Kong, me too, I also want to go with you."

Ye Kong pulled Zhang Tie aside, "How did you know I was going to lead a team to Yunbian Town?"

"The Supreme Beginning Academy is full of it. Sima Shizun also posted a reward order. Those who help Ye Kong kill the ferocious beasts this time can be directly promoted to the next level of disciple."

This kind of reward was much more practical than money or cultivation techniques.

Right now, even if they couldn't do anything, following Ye Kong to join the team. Under Ye Kong's leadership, driving away and hunting ferocious beasts would not be difficult. When the time came, as long as they could come back, they could continue to cultivate in the Supreme Beginning Academy.

Ye Kong looked at the swarming crowd. If he brought all of them, not to mention the living expenses, when the time came, once they fought with the ferocious beasts, he would probably have to take care of the safety of these disciples.

Ye Kong waved his hand to quiet the crowd, "Going to Yunbian Town this time is very dangerous, so I only plan to take nine people down the mountain. And for the sake of the team's collectivity, I will not consider anyone who has not been listed as an alternate disciple in the sect's hierarchical competition."

As soon as these words came out, a large group of people instantly cleared out.

"The remaining people must first exchange a move with me."
