C32 A little bit of a gap

Wu Xiaowu didn't mind at all and chatted with Zhao Mingzhe for a while. They agreed to meet again during the Crystal Level Hunt, before Wu Xiaowu took his leave.

That day at the Qingfeng Mountain, Cui Long had escaped. Who knows what Cui Long might be able to do in the future.

Just as he was thinking about this, Zhao Mingzhe slapped the bamboo bed with his left hand. With a "Hua la" sound, the entire bamboo bed instantly broke into pieces.

Zhao Mingzhe held onto his sword and rushed towards the left side of the bamboo forest. The demon beast Xiao Meng let out a cry of alarm as both of her ears pricked up.

After rushing out of the bamboo forest, Zhao Mingzhe slowed down his speed, holding onto his sword, he rushed forward and bellowed:

"Who?"

After waiting for a while, there was no sound at all. Zhao Mingzhe secretly thought, could it be that he had felt wrongly, just now, he had clearly thought that someone was staring at the bamboo forest, but now, there was no one there?

Zhao Mingzhe carefully investigated the area for a while and was unable to find anything abnormal, so he could only turn around and return to the bamboo forest.

After fixing the broken bamboo bed, Zhao Mingzhe closed his eyes, placed the sword by his side, and gradually fell asleep. After a very long time, on the left side of the bamboo forest, a man in black slowly retreated into the distance.

After walking a distance, the black clothed man let out a breath and coldly muttered to himself:

"I didn't expect this kid to break through so fast. He's also become more and more vigilant now." However, since this brat has already decided to participate in the hunt for the crystal ball, then, for matters like biting dogs, only two dogs have the strength to do so, only then will they be able to enjoy themselves … "

There was a benefit to doing so. The Full Moon Festival was a joyous reunion festival. Even if Zhao Meng wanted to cause trouble, he would not choose this day.

In addition, Zhao Mingzhe's parents in name, should also return during the Full Moon Festival. This way, the possibility of an accident can be minimized.

Waiting until the day of the Full Moon Festival, Zhao Mingzhe was walking home alone. Originally, Zhao Mingzhe thought that Ye Jinxuan would come to find him before the Full Moon Festival.

However, ever since he failed to get Ye Jinxuan to divorce him last time, Ye Jinxuan actually calmed down. She did not come to see Zhao Mingzhe again, nor did she concern herself with Zhao Mingzhe's matters.

Even though the Ye Family that Ye Jinxuan belonged to was not one of the Four Great Families, but because of Ye Jinxuan's grandfather, whose cultivation was said to be on par with Leng Qiuping, in Chi Xiezhou's eyes, the Ye Family had become a transcendent existence. To be a concubine to a girl in such a family, was not a good thing for Zhao Mingzhe.

They rushed all the way back, and finally, they reached the Zhao Family. Zhao Mingzhe was still uneasy in his heart, and did not know how to face his parents.

After turning around the intersection, Zhao Mingzhe was startled for a moment. Outside the Zhao Family's main gate, the three brothers of the Zhao Family, Zhao Chun, Zhao Xia, Zhao Dong, and the next generation disciples led by Zhao Meng and Zhao Wenwu stood outside the door as if they were waiting for someone important.

However, amongst this group of people, they did not see Zhao Mingzhe's parents. Zhao Mingzhe was still a little confused, but then he saw that this group of people, upon seeing him, had expressions of pleasant surprise.

Zhao Mingzhe was shocked, he felt that there must have been a demon in Wuchang. Even if the Zhao and Liu Families no longer pursued the matter regarding Liu Yue, these people would not have welcomed him in public.

The youth was fourteen or fifteen years old, and his face carried a smile. After passing by Zhao Mingzhe's side, he tilted his head and said:

"Brother Ming Zhe, you just came back today!"

Although the youth had a smile on his face, he could still see the disdain in the depths of his eyes. Zhao Mingzhe nodded and the group of people guarding outside the door had already spread out their voices one after another:

"My family's Kirin has returned."

"Keke, she's actually using the Fiendish Demon Beast, Saber-Toothed Tiger, as a mount. It seems like the Qilin's strength has increased quite a bit."

"Hurry, you must be tired after traveling for such a long time. Hurry and rest inside."

"Young master Qilin, your favorite room has been prepared for you. Rest first, it's time to eat a reunion dinner …"

A group of people gathered around the teenager and entered the Zhao Family residence. Other than Zhao Meng, who gave him a cold glance, the rest of them, as if Zhao Mingzhe was thin air, did not even spare him a glance.

Zhao Mingzhe knew from his memories that the youth just now was called Zhao Qilin and was Zhao Meng's younger brother. Although he was only thirteen years old, he had already reached the peak of the ninth level of the Origin Gathering Stage, and could be considered a genius.

Furthermore, through some unknown connection, the family sent Zhao Qilin to the Heavenly Light Nation for cultivation.

After pondering for a moment, Zhao Mingzhe walked forward. At this time, there were only a few servants left in front of the Zhao Family residence, and they did not even look at Zhao Mingzhe.

This was a stark contrast to when Zhao Qilin came over. Zhao Mingzhe secretly took a deep breath and warned himself repeatedly. It wasn't the first time he was looked down upon, but right now, his goal was to participate in the hunt for the crystal ball.

According to his memories, when Zhao Mingzhe returned to the room alone, he found that it was filled with dust. Zhao Mingzhe squinted his eyes, the treatment of this genius and this trash, sure enough, was different.

After a moment of silence, Zhao Mingzhe began to personally clean up the room. After finishing his work, Zhao Mingzhe found an underling and asked him about it.

Back in his room, Zhao Mingzhe frowned, he vaguely remembered that when his parents left, they were in a rush, only saying that they had important things to do, but they never thought that even on the Full Moon Festival, they did not rush back, and did not know what kind of important things they were busy with!

Zhao Mingzhe stayed in the room all the way until night, and no one came to call Zhao Mingzhe to participate in the Full moon feast. At this time, Zhao Mingzhe was not angry, but instead meditating quietly, continuously thinking of the Hundred Birds Rising Phoenix Spear Technique.

In the middle of the night, after he relied on killing demon beasts on the way back and obtained animal core s that he could barely satisfy his hunger, Zhao Mingzhe once again sat down and meditated to cultivate.

Within the clan, Zhao Mingzhe was like a stranger as he passed the next two days.

The hunting grounds was in a mountain range called Bloodthirsty Mountain. Normally, cultivators were not allowed to hunt demon beasts in this place because of the annual hunt for crystals.

Although it was a hunting competition held jointly by the Four Great Clans, the raw crystal was, after all, provided by the Phoenix Cry Sect. According to the rules, the outer sect and inner sect great elder had come together as the arbiter for the competition.

The Great Clan Elder of the outer sect was none other than Zhou Changqing, looking complacent and arrogant. The Great Clan Elder of the inner sect, Zhao Mingzhe had heard of him before, he was Qin Yuan Chong.

Zhou Changqing announced the rules. They were simply sending out six direct descendants from the Four Great Clans, men and women were not restricted. Finally, individual animal core s were first used to assess the individual rankings, and then the family rankings would be based on the number of animal core the six people obtained.

The animal core he acquired had to be those of a Bloodthirsty Beast. If there was a demon beast of the Bedevilment Realm, it could be used in a hundred times out of ten. However, bewitching beasts were already deep within the Bloodthirsty Mountain and were hard to find.

Moreover, even a cultivation realm martial artist might not be able to easily kill a demon beast. In this Large Competition, it was simply impossible to obtain a demon beast animal core.

After he finished introducing the rules, Zhou Changqing said a few more words.

"According to the requests of the various patriarchs, this year's hunt for the crystal core will not restrict participants from snatching animal core s from each other. The goal is, after all, to allow the young elites to gain an extra bit of experience."

Originally, Zhao Mingzhe did not feel that there was anything wrong with the new rule, but he did not know if it was intentional or not. Zhao Mingzhe felt that after saying that, Zhou Changqing looked at Zhao Mingzhe gloomily.

It was also from this point onwards that Zhao Mingzhe faintly felt a sense of unease in his heart. He always felt that, I probably won't be able to complete the Grand Hunt …
