Xue Huan pulled out the poison needle that had been inserted into her "body" and examined it between her fingertips. "Heavenly Fragrance Poison?"

This is a very vicious poison. Although it is not fatal, once you are poisoned by it, large areas of your body will ulcerate and emit a strong stench.

The symptoms during an attack are completely contrary to its name. I don’t know what the person who developed this poison was thinking.

Mo Zhenzhen obviously didn't want her life, but wanted to destroy her appearance.

A woman who harbors such great malice towards another woman's appearance is obviously blinded by jealousy.

Xue Huan held the needle in her hand and approached Mo Zhenzhen, a smile on her face. "Tell me, what would happen if I stuck this needle into your face?"

Mo Zhenzhen was terrified, "What are you doing! I admit——"

Just now, she deliberately half-spoken her surrender just to let Xue Huan relax her guard. It was the same this time, because she had already taken the antidote for Tianxiang Poison in advance to avoid being poisoned, so now she was not afraid at all that "Mo Xuefei" would prick her face with the needle.

She pretended to admit defeat, but actually launched another secret move. An arrow suddenly shot out from the black jade bracelet on her wrist, this time, it was aimed at Xue Huan's eyes!

This Mo Zhenzhen is worthy of being a member of the Mo family. She has so many hidden weapons on her body.

Xue Huan used her spiritual sense, and the arrow that was shot at her forehead suddenly deviated, as if it was pushed aside by an invisible hand.

Immediately, the arrow suddenly turned around and shot towards Mo Zhenzhen at a faster speed.

"Ah!" The arrow pierced her ear directly, and Mo Zhenzhen screamed.

Xue Huan returned the needle and pierced her earlobe as well.

With a poison needle in the left ear and a poison arrow in the right ear, Mo Zhenzhen's appearance is very special.

Xue Huan kicked her off the stage and threw her sword back to her.

Mo Zhenzhen fell into the crowd of onlookers from the Mo family, feeling humiliated. She picked up the sword and waved it around, "What are you looking at! Get out of here!"

The referee announced: "Mo Xuefei vs. Mo Zhenzhen, Mo Xuefei wins! Bonus one point!"

Xue Huan walked down from the competition stage and went to see the fighting situation on the other two competition stages. Maybe someone there would become her opponent.

After all fifty-eight people in the first round had competed, the second round of competition began.

Because someone was seriously injured in the first round and could not compete again for a short time, the number of people in the second round was smaller, but there were still about fifty people.

This time, Xue Huan drew number 20, which put her at the back of the competition order.

At the end of the day, there were five rounds of competition in total, and Xue Huan won all of them and earned five points.

But she is not the only one with five points. Mo Zifeng and Mo Feizhou also have five consecutive wins.

So the three of them became the favorites to compete for the championship, and some tribesmen took the opportunity to start a bet on who would win first place in the end.

Xue Huan invested some money and bet on herself to win.

In the four rounds of competition on the second day, Xue Huan scored four points.

In the three rounds of competition on the third day, Xue Huan scored three points.

In the end, Xue Huan won the championship of this Mo family internal competition with a perfect score of twelve points. Mo Feizhou lost only one game and ranked second. Mo Zifeng was unlucky and was drawn to be Xue Huan's opponent twice, so he ranked third.

Moziyu is fourth, Mo Zhenzhen is fifth...

The three-day competition is finally over. Those who can survive such rounds of high-intensity competition and obtain high rankings are all very strong.

The clan leader read out the list of the top twenty and distributed elixirs as rewards. Without further ado, he simply said, "Everyone go home and get a good rest tonight, prepare for the trip tomorrow, and come here to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the evening."

Everyone dispersed.

The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was held in the square, which was convenient for moon viewing.

The food at the banquet is all spiritual food, which can be said to be very luxurious. It is considered as the tribe’s consolation to the top 20 people before they set off. Once they leave, they may not come back, so it is a bit like a last meal for execution.

But wealth and honor are sought in danger. Maybe you will encounter some opportunities in the secret realm. Even if there is no opportunity, the much richer spiritual energy in the secret realm alone is attractive enough.

The clan leader and seniors who had been to the secret realm before and successfully came out took turns telling about their experiences in the secret realm and passing on their experiences to the twenty people who were about to go to the secret realm.

"The Qiutan Secret Realm is also known as the Thousand Ponds Secret Realm because it contains thousands of pools of water, some as small as the rim of a cup, and some as large as a lake. Some of these pools are real pools, while others are entrances to another secret realm. If you jump in, you might find yourself in a garden full of magical herbs, or you might end up in a den of ferocious monsters. It all depends on your luck."

Someone asked, "So how can we tell if it's real pond water or the entrance to the secret realm? Oh, I got it! Can we try using a fishing rod? If it's real pond water, there should be fish in it, right? If you can catch fish, then it's the real pond water."

"Oh, it's not like no one has used this method before, but it doesn't work because even if it's real lake water, you can't catch any fish."

Someone else asked, "Since the pool of water could be the entrance to a dangerous secret realm, why don't we just stay on the shore and practice?"

"You think too simply. There's no danger in the secret realm during the day, but at night, fog will fill the air. Zombies are hiding in the fog. Once they smell the breath of a living person, they will pounce on you and devour your flesh and blood.

"These zombies have no human consciousness and their bodies are extremely tough, making them very difficult to kill. Therefore, you must find a hiding place before nightfall. This entire secret realm is completely flat, and aside from those pools of water, there's nowhere to hide. If you don't jump in, you'll be mauled to death by the zombies."

…

The next morning, Xue Huan and his party boarded a flying kite and headed for Qiutan Mountain in Shengzhou.

Shengzhou is not far from Peizhou, only less than a thousand miles away. At the speed of a flying kite, it can be reached in half a day. So although the Mo family set out last, they were the first to arrive.

Because the secret realm opens once every five years, the five major families have stationed people here to guard it so that they can receive timely information in case of any changes in the secret realm.

Over time, a settlement the size of a small town formed at the entrance to the secret realm. To prevent ordinary people from straying in, a barrier was set up outside the settlement, allowing only monks to enter.

With the arrival of the Medicine King Sun family and the Medical Saint Hua family, the settlement became lively.

"Come on, come on, the secret map is cheap for sale, fifty taels of silver each, first come first served——"

"This spiritual fish soup can replenish your spiritual energy. It's twenty taels of silver a bowl. It's fragrant and piping hot, fresh from the pot!"

"A large banner made of fire rat fur, it can be used as both clothing and a blanket. It's warm and practical, a must-have for trials!"

On both sides of the street, there are stalls selling various things, all under the guise of secret places.

Xue Huan was strolling around when the surroundings suddenly became quiet, as if everyone had pressed the mute button.

Just at this time, people from the Qi Zong Ji family arrived.
