As for the others, they didn't even bother to chase after Lin Long anymore.
In the following period of time, the evil ghost made another sneak attack and three more people were attacked and killed by the evil ghost. This time, these people were even more worried.
After all, the evil spirits that they had faced before did not have the slightest bit of intelligence. How could they face another kind of evil ghost like this one? It was simply impossible to guard against.
It wasn't just their team. In the next few days, the other teams were also ambushed by the same evil ghost.
And because this evil ghost was extremely strong, they had no way of dealing with it.
In order to avoid being ambushed by these evil spirits one by one, the people in the cave subconsciously moved closer. Even Qing Feng's people joined this group.
In the entire Purple Sun Sect, about three hundred disciples had entered the fourth floor, but there were only two hundred disciples left, and more than a hundred people had lost their lives in this cave.
After counting the number of people, they were certain that so many people had fallen. They couldn't help but feel somewhat sad. After all, these were their fellow disciples. They had originally been alive and well, but who would have thought that so many people would have left them in just a few days?
Although the path of martial arts was difficult, but it had never been as cruel as it was now.
More than two hundred people were gathered in an extremely large cave. The two entrances to the cave were opened by several people whose strength exceeded the middle stage of the Martial Master Realm. Their goal was to avoid the invasion of that other type of evil spirit.
Then, the representatives of the various factions gathered in a meeting to discuss the countermeasures.
As for Lin Long, he was selected by Qingfeng to represent the group. Originally, Lin Long wanted to continue hunting for evil spirits in the cave by himself, but after thinking for a while, he still joined Qingfeng's group.
If he were to wander alone in the outside world, he would definitely become the evil ghost's primary target. Although with his current strength, he would definitely not be at a disadvantage when fighting this evil ghost, he was afraid of at least ten thousand things. Moreover, he did not know if this evil ghost had a stronger strength.
Thus, after careful consideration, he made this choice.
The representatives of the five branches were Lin Long, Hua Haotian, Nangong Yi, Peng Fei and Qi Zhengde. Peng Fei and Qi Zhengde were respectively the representatives of Yong Chang Feng and De Wu Feng.
The five of them gathered at the highest point on the walls of the cave.
Even though he did not like Lin Long, in order to be able to kill that evil ghost, Hua Haotian had to restrain the anger he had towards Lin Long. Of course, the gaze he gave Lin Long was not friendly.
As for Nangong Yi, it was obvious that he was enraged by Lin Long previously, so, other than Lin Long who looked at Lin Long when he arrived, the rest of the time, his gaze did not linger on Lin Long at all. It was as if Lin Long did not exist.
Lin Long did not put this matter to heart.
As for the other two, as the two of them had some conflicts with Lin Long earlier, they naturally did not have good intentions towards him.
Of course, these two were nothing to Lin Long.
After looking at the few of them, Hua Haotian opened his mouth and said, "Everyone, that masked evil ghost is a great threat to us. If we cannot quickly get rid of it, we simply cannot kill all the evil spirits on the fourth floor. I wonder what your thoughts are? "
"If we can find the nest of this evil spirit and kill it, that would be for the best." The medium built fat Qi Zhengde said.
"Yes, I agree with what Junior Zhengde said." He was short and had a moustache on his face, making him look very shrewd.
"What about you, Junior Yi?" Hua Haotian said after his gaze stopped on Nangong Yi.
He had originally wanted to use this opportunity to resolve the grudge he had with Nangong Yi, but who knew that Nangong Yi would not even spare him a glance.
Nangong Yi's attitude had undoubtedly made him feel very frustrated. The only thing that made him feel at ease was that the person that he thought had underestimated his opponent was someone that Nangong Yi had never paid attention to.
"I think so too." Nangong Yi said, her expression was colder than before.
Logically speaking, Hua Haotian should have asked Lin Long a question at this time. However, he did not intend to ask Lin Long at all, and directly ignored Lin Long.
"If that's the case, then what kind of 'hunter' do you have? Only a 'hunter' would be able to find that evil ghost." Hua Haotian said.
"We have one in Everlasting Peak, Luo Hu. Senior Brother Haotian, you should remember this, right?" Peng Fei laughed.
"We also have one, but compared to Luohu, we're still too far off. Therefore, we'll have to rely on Luohu." Wei Zhengde continued.
"To be honest, we Purple Sun Peak originally had a good candidate. Unfortunately, he died not long after he entered the fourth floor." Hua Haotian then sighed.
After he finished speaking, he looked towards Nangong Yi and said. What about you, Junior Yi? Are there any good candidates? "
Nangong Yi did not say anything, but indifferently shook her head. However, the moment he shook her head, she suddenly glanced at Lin Long.
Such a gaze immediately made Hua Haotian frown, and he immediately said: "Then it's decided, the hunter will be Luo Hu from Everlasting Peak."
Although it was rumored that Lin Long was an extremely capable hunter, and it was also because of this that he led the people from Qingfeng to earn so many contribution points, Hua Haotian simply did not believe this point because he had never seen Lin Long's performance before.
Lin Long naturally did not care about who they picked. After all, at that time, the road would be under his feet.
"Since the hunters have chosen, the next step is to choose the people that will follow." Since the hunters have chosen, the next step is to choose the people that will follow. Hua Haotian continued.
"Nope." Wei Zheng De and Peng Fei immediately shook their heads, while Nangong Yi slightly nodded his head.
"I think so. There are still eight more in the top 15, so eight out of the twelve will take up the seats. The rest will be chosen from the various factions. Of course, their abilities must be in the top 50 of the Heavenly Rankings." Hua Haotian continued.
"I recommend our Devourer Peak Guo Lin."
"I recommend our Everlasting Peak's Wang Han."
Wei Zhengde and Peng Fei immediately made their own choices.
"Yes, these two match." Hua Haotian nodded, then looked at Nangong Yi and asked: "Junior sister Yi, do you have any suitable candidate?"
Nangong Yi still shook his head.
"Alright, then I would like to recommend a literary talent from the Purple Sun Peak." Hua Haotian said.
"There's only one person left." Peng Fei said.
"One last person?" Hua Haotian and the other two immediately started to ponder.
In this entire process, these three people had basically treated Lin Long as air, and had no intention to discuss things with him.
Lin Long naturally knew what Hua Haotian was thinking, but he couldn't be bothered to care about these people.
After a long while, Hua Haotian said, "How about this, I recommend a person."
After arriving here, he deliberately left them in suspense.
"Oh, who?" Peng Fei and Wei Zhengde immediately asked.
"Yang Kaiyu from Purple Sun Peak." Hua Haotian said.
"Mm. Yang Kaiyu is not bad. Although his strength is a bit lacking, he is still very clever. Therefore, he can still be of great use." Peng Fei immediately nodded in agreement.
Qi Zhengde also nodded his head.
"Then, we have gathered the twelve of them." As he said till here, Hua Haotian intentionally glanced at Lin Long, and the complacent expression in his eyes could not be concealed at all.
You have even improved on these twelve people's names. Let's see how you will have the face to face the junior brothers and sisters of Qingfeng when you get back. Looking at Lin Long, such a complacent thought surfaced in Hua Haotian's heart.
Although he wanted to teach Lin Long a lesson in public, but dealing with evil spirits was more important now, so he could only temporarily use some methods to embarrass Lin Long.
He naturally knew that Lin Long's strength could be ranked amongst the twelve people, but whether or not he had Lin Long was of no concern to him. After all, he had that kind of sharp weapon in his hands.
Wei Zhengde and Peng Fei naturally knew of Lin Long's capabilities. However, at a time like this, they would naturally follow Hua Haotian's lead, not to mention that they had enmity towards Lin Long in their hearts.
"Alright, let's go back and gather these people here before deciding on our departure time." After feeling proud for a while, Hua Haotian continued.
"I object!"
However, at this moment, such a voice came out from the five of them.
Her voice was very pleasant to the ear, because the owner of the voice was Nangong Yi.
"Junior Sister Yi, do you have any suggestions?" Hearing that Nangong Yi had actually rejected his decision in front of so many people, Hua Haotian's face turned ugly.
"Of the twelve, one must be eliminated." Nangong Yi still said with a cold expression on his small face.
"Then what's your choice?" Hua Haotian frowned.
"My candidate is Lin Long!" Nangong Yi said with her clear voice.
However, she still did not even glance at Lin Long as she spoke.
"Junior sister Yi, why did you choose Lin Long?" Hua Haotian said with a cold face.
If Nangong Yi picked someone else, he would still be able to endure it, but she chose Lin Long instead.
"No reason, because he had once defeated Yu Yuanwu." Nangong Yi said.
"Yu Yuanwu? Even though he had entered the top fifteen of the Heavenly Rankings before, his strength had basically worsened over time. Peng Fei directly said.
Nangong Yi frowned, but he suddenly stopped, because she suddenly remembered, if she said that he had defeated her, then wouldn't that mean that he had been forcefully kissed by her?
Seeing that Nangong Yi was stuck, Peng Fei could not help but laugh complacently, "Junior Sister Yi, I really can't think of anything else this brat can do, right?"
