Yu Daohan nodded helplessly and asked, "Where is that kid Zhou Fu? Why don't I see him?"
He had scanned the disciples just now and hadn't seen Zhou Fu's figure.
Seeing that Yu Daohan had asked, Zhou Jingmin finally spoke, "That kid has entered the encirclement!"
"Entered the encirclement?" Yu Daohan frowned, "Is he alone?"
Zhou Jingmin shook his head and began to explain.
"No, that's not the case. The current regulations of each sect are that five disciples are selected every three days to enter the encirclement to eliminate evil spirits. After three days, when the disciples who entered return, another five disciples will be selected to enter the encirclement to continue eliminating evil spirits."
Upon hearing this, Yu Daohan's expression changed slightly, "You mean it's Zhou Fu's turn this time?"
Zhou Jingmin shook his head and sighed, "That kid went in and came out a week ago, but he went in again this time. It wasn't his turn."
Yu Daohan was silent for a moment and then nodded, "This is the time to temper him. Going in is a good thing."
Zhou Jingmin hesitated for a moment and said, "Today is already the fourth day!"
"The fourth day?!" Yu Daohan became a little worried.
Zhou Jingmin nodded, "That's right. If he doesn't return within five days, the possibility of sacrifice is sixty percent. If he doesn't return within seven days, it's a hundred percent he's sacrificed."
"No, I'm going to find that kid!" Yu Daohan said, asking, "What's that kid's coordinate?"
"Sect Master, it's extremely dangerous inside. Let me go instead," Zhou Jingmin said, trying to stop him.
The Sect Master was the future hope of the Yanhuo Sect, and absolutely no harm could come to him.
Yu Daohan shook his head and smiled faintly, confident, "If I can't even return alive after entering this encirclement, how can I shoulder the responsibility of the Yanhuo Sect?"
Zhou Jingmin fell silent.
The Sect Master was right. Flowers in a greenhouse would never grow strong. Those who achieve great things must go through all kinds of hardships.
"Do you want me to send a few agile disciples to go with you, Sect Master?" Zhou Jingmin finally decided to let the Sect Master try it himself.
Yu Daohan shook his head, "No need, I'm enough by myself. However, I need to borrow Liu Jing's motorcycle."
Zhou Jingmin nodded, and Yu Daohan rode the small off-road motorcycle and set off for the encirclement.
The disciples who entered had fixed areas of operation, so they could be rescued in time if they encountered danger.
Zhou Fu and the others were located near a high-end villa area.
There was no signal within the encirclement, so Yu Daohan had to rely on a paper map to find his way.
For someone with no sense of direction, a paper map was no different from waste paper.
Someone who got lost even with a mobile phone would be even more so with a paper map.
As expected, Yu Daohan got lost shortly after entering.
Coincidentally, the motorcycle was also out of gas.
Yu Daohan threw down the motorcycle and cursed, "This kid is too unreliable. He didn't even bother to refuel the motorcycle."
There were small cars on the road, but he didn't know how to drive them.
He could only walk for now.
After clearing the area for the past few days, there were indeed no evil spirits seen in the outermost layer.
Inside a storeroom of a shopping mall, thirteen people sat around.
A man in his thirties weighed the contents of his backpack and a smile appeared on his lips, "We'll leave after we finish with the gold shops in this mall."
Another disciple next to him hesitated, "Why don't we retreat? There's a Shagui guarding there, and we just lost a companion."
Hearing this, the disciple named Terry became displeased, "Damn it, we've come this far, what do you mean by giving up? Besides, the one who died just now wasn't from your sect."
"The sect sent us here to be cannon fodder. We're going to die anyway, so we might as well look out for ourselves."
As soon as Terry said this, everyone fell silent.
He was right. When they came here, they were destined to be cannon fodder.
There were three sects stationed here: the Yanhuo Sect, the Zouyin Sect, and the Zhengdao Sect.
Terry was a disciple of the Zouyin Sect, and the one who had just retreated was a disciple of the Zhengdao Sect.
Zhou Fu looked at Terry, whose eyes were blinded by greed, and shook his head helplessly.
The Sect Master was right. No matter when or where, there would always be people like this.
And it was people like this who caused total annihilation!
They were simply the dregs of society, troublemakers!
Terry saw that everyone was silent and took it as tacit agreement. He continued, "As long as one person is sent to lure away that Shagui, we can take the opportunity to go to the gold shops and take all the gold. Then we'll meet up with that person and leave together."
As soon as Terry said this, everyone looked at each other.
They all knew in their hearts that the person who went to lure away the Shagui had a nine-in-ten chance of dying.
No one was willing to go.
A disciple of the Yanhuo Sect looked at Zhou Fu, "Senior brother, I'm scared."
Zhou Fu smiled faintly and comforted him, "Don't worry, senior brother will protect you well."
They were supposed to prepare to return the next day, but Terry suddenly proposed to go look for gold.
Zhou Fu had strongly opposed it at first, but since the disciples of the other two sects agreed to go, they had no choice but to follow.
There was a rule among the sects that no matter what they did, they had to act together, not act on their own, and always stay together for mutual support.
Zhou Fu clenched his fists. If it weren't for this damned rule, he would have brought his junior disciples back to the camp long ago.
The Yanhuo Sect always sent one strong disciple to lead four weaker ones.
This was to protect the weaker disciples and give them a greater chance of survival.
Zhou Fu had been here last time, so it wasn't his turn this time.
However, there were not many strong disciples among those who came out, so Zhou Fu took the initiative to ask to continue entering the encirclement.
"Senior brother, are we going to die here this time?" asked the youngest disciple.
"I don't know, but senior brother will protect you even if it costs him his life," Zhou Fu shook his head and smiled.
If the Sect Master were here, he would definitely be able to lead them out safely.
Looking around, no one was willing to step forward to lure away the Shagui.
Terry saw that the disciples of the Yanhuo Sect were still chatting and looked at Zhou Fu, "You Yanhuo Sect disciples, choose one person to lure away that Shagui."
As soon as he said this, the disciples of the Yanhuo Sect were all indignant. The youngest disciple retorted, "Why?"
Terry chuckled and said sternly, "Our Zouyin Sect and Zhengdao Sect have both sacrificed a disciple. Your Yanhuo Sect has the most people. If you don't go, do you expect us to?"
The disciples of the Zhengdao Sect next to him also chimed in.
"That's right, we've all lost a disciple, and your sect has all five people."
