A team of 10 cultivators had quickly emerged from the forest and they were startled to spot Ji Yuan and his team of 6.
Ji Yuan and his team were actually waiting for the other teams to arrive from the other parts of the island.
The leader of the team of 10 cultivators was Great Saint Guo Dejing and he was smiling; they had 11 cultivators in their team and this was a team of 6.
There was actually one more cultivator that was still emerging from the forest so their team was 11 and not 10.
Ji Yuan was also grinning when he saw this team and he had recognized Yang Batian in the team.
Yang Batian and Beitang Hai were also startled to see Ji Yuan and moreover he was with 5 astonishing beautiful maidens.
Their team had 10 men and 1 maiden. Right now, the maiden in their team was still inside the forest but would soon be joining them.
Great Saint Guo Dejing looked with great disdain at Ji Yuan, "Hehe. I am Great Saint Guo Dejing. I know you when you are still in the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth."
This Ji Yuan was the only threat since he was a male.
As for the 5 other maidens, they were not considered to be a threat to him since the maidens were usually weaker than the men.
"You have an option now. Surrender your tokens to us and pay us 10 million spirit stones for each one of you or you have to fight us."
Great Saint Guo Dejing had put forth his proposal for Ji Yuan and his small team.
Yang Batian shouted over to Ji Yuan, "Brother Ji Yuan, we have met again. I suggest that you pay us a small price instead of regretting it later. We don't want to kill any cultivators in this final trial."
Ji Yuan laughed jovially, "So it is Old Brother Yang Baitian here. We also don't want to kill anyone. But if you are willing to leave behind your tokens to us then I will be willing to let you pass. Haha…"
"This stupid familiar voice. It must be that Rascal Ji Yuan…" An alluring voice had suddenly interrupted Ji Yuan and Shui Xisi had emerged from the forest with a soft chuckle.
"Sisi!" Ji Yuan was surprised to see Shui Xisi was in this team. "Haha Sisi, it is really you."
Great Saint Guo Dejing respectfully turned to say to her, "Great Saintess Xisi, this arrogant cultivator tries to force us to surrender our tokens to him."
In the past 3 days, Shui Xisi had quickly emerged as the strongest cultivator in their team as she slayed one powerful profound monster after another.
When she had emerged with her beautiful presence, some of the maidens in Ji Yuan's team like Ling Feiyue and the Lovely Empress were also giggling softly.
Ji Yuan grinned at Shui Xisi, "Sisi, come and join my team. Haha…"
Shui Xisi giggled softly, "Do you think that this great saintess will do so just because you have asked me to do so? Don't forget that we are in a trial here and I can demolish you with a wave of my fingers."
Ji Yuan's grins disappeared and he was frowning, "Then what do you want?"
Shui Xisi laughed as she danced over to his side and before long, she had suddenly given his legs a hard kick, "Look at your silly disappointed look. I am only teasing you. Sure, I will join your team."
Ji Yuan was suddenly laughing jovially, "Sisi, I nearly got a heart attack from you."
Great Saint Guo Dejing was now frowning along with many of the cultivators in his team.
"Great Saintess Xisi, are you going to betray your team just like this? Don't forget that you are a different team from this Ji Yuan. He can turn upon you anytime by slaughtering you for the Trial Points."
Shui Xisi turned to stare playfully at Ji Yuan, "He dares?"
Ji Yuan bitterly laughed, "Indeed, I dare not. In fact, I am going to invite you to be the team leader instead. Haha…"I think you should take a look at
Shui Xisi turned her playful smile into a jovial chuckle, "Rascal Ji Yuan, why are you so smart today?"
Ling Feiyue giggled as she flashed to Shui Xisi to give her a hug while the Lovely Empress was smiling lovingly while winking at Shui Xisi.
Even Zhi Jiugong was walking to greet Shui Xisi with a pleasant smile.
For the past tens of days, Shui Xisi, the Lovely Empress and Zhi Jiugong were actually with the same Divine Consort Atalanta and they had become quite close, especially when it comes to making Ji Yuan pay a price for his flirtatious ways for example, by castrating him.
As for Xie Hongyu and Hua Yunzi, they were both greeting her, "Maiden Xisi, we have met again…"
The two of them were with Shui Xisi in their last trial and they were glad that she was now on their side.
The scene stunned Great Saint Guo Dejing, Yang Batian and all the others.
But still they had an advantage.
After all they were 10 vs. 7.
Ji Yuan turned to grin at Great Saint Guo Dejing, "It is impossible for us to surrender our tokens to you but I don't mind if you are willing to surrender your tokens to me. If you do, I can promise to protect you while your team cultivates in this place. No one will be able to mess or touch your team while you are here."
Great Saint Guo Dejing roared with jovial laughter, "I may not be the strongest cultivator in my team but we have several extreme cultivators in my team that can burst your bubbles…"
As he said so, he was looking at Old Yang Batian and several others. "In the end, there will be some losses from my side but your team will be wiped out completely…"
Then he looked at the extremely beautiful maidens that were Ji Yuan, "Can these maidens fight as well as you? Don't forget that you are only one while we are many…"
Zhi Jiugong interrupted unpleasantly with her concise musical voice, "Are you trying to court your own death by trying to fight us?"
When she had said that, Great Saint Guo Dejing and many of the cultivators were laughing jovially at her threat.
Ji Yuan however had turned to grin at Shui Xisi with a grin, "Team Leader Sisi, shouldn't you say a word or do something? Or do you expect for me to erm… draw my swords?"
Shui Xisi laughed as she ticked her fingers to summon Augustina her Phoenix God Beast.
A gigantic flaming firebird had suddenly appeared from within Shui Xisi and was spreading her flaming wings over the two teams.
The intense pressure and fear of this 9th rank epic god beast immediately awed all the cultivators presented.
Great Saint Guo Dejing was suddenly shaking with fear as he stammered, "We… we are willing to… surrender our tokens and be taken in under your protection…"
Yang Batian and many of the cultivators from Great Saint Guo Dejing's team had all broken in cold sweats and were now eagerly saying the same thing as well.
Shui Xisi giggled softly, "Why don't you say so earlier?"
As she said so, she was winking to Ji Yuan as though she was saying: You need me, right?
Ji Yuan grinned back at her and he was thinking: Sisi, when can I bang you?
