Chapter 221: Strategy

Upon hearing this, Xiao Fan's eyes lit up.

Setting a trap—this was a good idea, and he liked it very much.

"Tell me about your plan."

Although Xiao Fan was pleased in his heart, his expression remained very calm, revealing nothing.

Qiao Rong nodded and said, "It is like this: this Secret Realm has all kinds of environments. The desert is the place where the fewest people come, because both the climate and the environment are the worst here. Furthermore, there are no places to hide, making it easiest to be targeted here."

Xiao Fan nodded, feeling that what she said made some sense, and waited for her to continue.

Qiao Rong continued, "Therefore, in previous years when participating in the Inner Sect Disciple selection, everyone would instinctively avoid the desert region and head toward the dense forests, bodies of water, and nearby areas…"

"We can go there. I will act as bait, making noise out in the open to lure people over… You will be in the shadows. Instead of actively searching for others, it is better to let them come to us."

Qiao Rong explained her idea.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Fan's eyes lit up. He felt that he had actually underestimated this woman just now.

He hadn't expected her to be so sharp; this was indeed a good idea.

Instead of him actively searching for people to snatch tokens from, it was better to lure everyone over.

Xiao Fan looked the woman in front of him over again, rubbed his chin, thought for a moment, and nodded, agreeing to it.

"Your plan is good. In that case, I won't let you work in vain. Of the tokens we snatch, I'll take eighty percent and you take twenty percent, how about that?"

Upon hearing this, a look of joy immediately appeared on Qiao Rong's face.

She had indeed had this thought, but in front of The Terror, she didn't dare bring it up.

So, she was waiting for him to bring it up himself.

Twenty percent, although it sounded like very little, depended on how many people Xiao Fan snatched tokens from.

With the strength of The Terror…

I'm afraid that twenty percent would definitely not be a small amount.

It might even be enough to let her become an Inner Sect Disciple.

Moreover, if she left on her own, she would probably become prey before she could snatch anything from anyone else.

"Thank you…"

Qiao Rong was delighted.

Xiao Fan nodded, and the two left together.

Outside… A group of people stared blankly at the light screen…

Xiao Fan had easily defeated Yi Liangping and more than a dozen others, and snatched the Storage Pouches from them…

This left them all speechless…

"Is this Xiao Fan at the ninth stage of the Huaqi Realm?"

"This guy actually defeated Yi Liangping, who is at the Great Perfection of the first stage of the Tongtian Realm… And there were more than a dozen others at the eighth and ninth stages of the Huaqi Realm…"

"The Terror has snatched over ten more Storage Pouches…"

Even the Elders were sighing in succession.

They thought to themselves that this Xiao Fan was too ruthless; not only was his strength formidable, but the key point was that he had the heart of a bandit.

"Was this guy a bandit in his past life?"

Bei Ming, who had a tall build and rolled-up sleeves, suddenly blurted out.

The atmosphere around them suddenly became strange.

They realized that it really did seem like that…

After Yi Liangping and more than a dozen others were teleported out of the Secret Realm.

Each of them was injured, and everyone's expression was filled with fury.

In the Secret Realm, they had lost their qualifications in less than a day!

And they had all been defeated by a young man at the ninth stage of the Huaqi Realm, which left them filled with unwillingness.

"Damn it, damn it!"

Yi Liangping was furious: "Cui Lang, you little thief, I will not rest until you are destroyed!"

The dozen or so Disciples around him had the same reaction.

They couldn't wait to leave and find Cui Lang, then skin him alive…

Even the deacons and others who had come to check on their injuries were stunned…

They couldn't understand why this group of people was so angry.

As for Cui Lang, he had left half an hour ago and returned to his own courtyard to recover from his injuries…

He did not yet know the trouble he was about to face.

Two hours later. Inside the Secret Realm, in a dense forest.

Qiao Rong had a tall figure, and at this moment, she was running alone through the dense thicket… making a lot of noise…

Along the way, every time she passed through a section of dense forest, she would attack the nearby trees, creating loud, crashing sounds…

And she kept letting out delicate, pleading cries:

"Help… Help me…"

"Help…"

"Is there anyone who can save me… Help…"

Her cries for help attracted quite a few nearby Outer Sect Disciples, all of whom turned their gazes toward her.

Even a few small Alliances of over ten people were attracted by Qiao Rong's cries.

"It's a woman; it looks like someone is chasing her… Judging by the noise, the other party isn't very strong. Let's go and catch them all in one fell swoop."

A leader of a small team of over ten people, who was a powerhouse at the Half-step Tongtian Realm, said. The others naturally had no objections and followed him as they moved forward.

There were not a few who acted and headed over like this person.

Qiao Rong had only been running in the dense forest for less than a quarter of an hour, and she had already attracted quite a few people.

Yet at this moment, there wasn't even a shadow behind her…

Qiao Rong kept running, continuing to shout and plead for help…

And at this moment, a dozen figures suddenly rushed toward her from in front.

These figures first saw Qiao Rong, probed her aura, and discovered that she was only at the eighth stage of the Huaqi Realm, causing them all to speed up, their eyes gleaming.

Eighth stage of the Huaqi Realm… Is this a free point?

"Junior Sister, was it you who was calling for help just now?" the leading man asked. Although his voice was gentle, greedy glints flashed in his eyes.

The dozen or so youths behind him were the same.

"Yes, it was me."

Qiao Rong stopped and took two steps back, appearing somewhat afraid…

"Little sister, who is trying to rob you? Tell me," the leading man continued with a smile. His gaze looked behind Qiao Rong, but he didn't see a single shadow.

At this moment, he was even wondering if the other party had been scared off after seeing their group arrive.

And at this moment, before Qiao Rong could speak.

A man's voice came from behind this group:

"The person chasing her just now… was me!"
