"With further training, these demon cultivators can serve as the master's personal guards. I think we should let them stay in the arena for a while longer to stimulate their ferocity."
"Yes, that's what I meant. Xun Huan, please report this matter to Elder Turtle later."
"Yes!" Zong Zheng Xunhuan responded respectfully, but he cursed the two old men in his heart.
Damn it, they were afraid of Elder Turtle and actually bullied me who just arrived.
Humph, he endured it. After he consumed the 'Essence of God' and advanced to the level of Immortal Emperor, he would see how the two old guys could bully him!
But this result is good, at least Lai Siyu's subordinates were saved.
His eyes inadvertently fell on a certain position in the field, which happened to be Lai Siyu's position.
I don't know whether it was right or wrong for him to bring Lai Siyu in this trip. When he first entered the teleportation array, he did some tricks to prevent Lai Siyu from falling into the treasure area, thus avoiding her from turning into a red fish and becoming a sacrifice.
However, Lai Siyu was the only woman he had been interested in for so many years. He didn't want to let her go, but given his status...he could only take this approach to make Lai Siyu truly belong to him alone.
He is not an ordinary person, so he cannot talk about love in the same way as ordinary people.
For him, no matter how wonderful something is, as long as he can possess it, it doesn't matter what means are used.
However, what he didn't expect was that Lai Siyu didn't contact him at all, and even came to participate in the ring match.
Did she think that she could rescue those demon slaves by participating in the competition?
How naive!
Soon she would find out how ridiculous her idea was.
At the same time, she will also find out how stupid her choice was.
However, this saved him a lot of effort.
After a day of competition, the audience dispersed one after another. Lai Siyu suddenly felt a chill rising from her juniors. She turned her head and looked back, but found nothing.
At this moment, the female cultivator who had collected the gambling money walked towards her gracefully, smiling sweetly and saying, "Sir, please follow me."
Upon hearing this, Lai Siyu obediently followed the female cultivator. She looked back from time to time, but there was no one behind her. As for the private rooms at the outermost edge, she didn't know what materials they were made of, but they could actually block out spiritual consciousness.
Lai Siyu frowned and stopped thinking about anything else.
She followed the female cultivator to a hall behind the ring. There were many people coming and going in a hurry in the hall. Some of them were the ring's guys, and some were people who signed up for the ring competition on their own like Lai Siyu.
Others were the families of freestyle fighters whose family members had not been able to come down from the ring, and they were there simply to collect the payment for the deceased.
Some people had expressions of sadness on their faces, but most of the family members only had the joy of receiving the immortal crystals on their faces, without even the slightest trace of pain.
The indifference of family affection was shocking. Lai Siyu couldn't help but think that if her father and stepmother were also in Dihuo City, they would probably come happily to collect the reward she exchanged for her life after she died.
Haha~ When she thought of this, she couldn't help but feel a bitter feeling in her heart.
But fortunately, she still has Mu Lingxiao, as well as Grandpa, Master, Sister Mengqin, and Brother Zheng. She will go back, and hopes that Master and the others will be fine.
There is also Mu Lingxiao. Maybe it’s because of the magma sea outside the Dihuo City, Lai Siyu always feels that Mu Lingxiao should be here... or not far from here.
Lai Siyu clenched her fists tightly in her sleeves. She must explore the Dihuo City thoroughly. She believed in her own intuition.
The female cultivator took Lai Siyu through the lobby, passed through the corridor behind the lobby, and came to a door.
She gently knocked on the lion-head door knocker and said respectfully, "Deacon Diao, here comes Lai Siyu who is participating in the competition."
An old and hoarse voice came from inside the door: "Come in."
As soon as the voice fell, the door opened by itself. The female cultivator gestured for Lai Siyu to go in, while she herself retreated.
Once Lai Siyu is sent to her destination, she will have nothing to do.
This is a small room with many shelves against the walls, which are piled with black wooden boxes.
An old man was sitting at a desk, busy sorting out a pile of jade slips. There were several open black wooden boxes on the desk. He picked out the jade slips in the black wooden boxes and kept fiddling with them.
"You must be Lai Siyu, come and sit down!" The old man looked up at Lai Siyu with a gentle smile on his face, making people feel close to him at first sight.
"Wait a moment, the information in these jade slips must be erased. They all died in the arena, so the information about them is useless." The old man's voice was full of smiles, as if he was not talking about a person's life or death, but what dishes would be on the table at noon today.
"You are quite a courageous little girl. Aren't you afraid of death?"
Lai Siyu laughed and said, "I'm afraid, of course I'm not!"
"If you are afraid, why do you come to the arena to fight?" The old man looked up at her, but his hands did not stop moving.
"Doesn't it mean I don't have to die if I'm afraid? Anyway, I don't know where the future lies, so I might as well find some fun for myself!" Lai Siyu's eyes were shining with a faint light. She looked at the old man with a smile. Her eyes were so sharp that it seemed as if she could see into the old man's heart at once.
The old man was stunned, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it. "Haha, well said... give yourself a little fun. Just for what you said, I, an old man, will open a backdoor for you and arrange the best courtyard for you."
"Well, thank you for your kindness! However, since the ring is a life-or-death match, I think if I can know myself and my opponent, my chances of survival may be greater. I wonder if you can help me see what those strongest boxers are like?"
The old man narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this. He looked at Lai Siyu with interest and asked, "Do you want to go to the place where the boxing slaves are?"
Boxing slaves? It turns out they call those who were captured and forced into the ring boxing slaves!
Lai Siyu wanted to say, "It doesn't matter where I live," but she suppressed the urge to speak out for fear of arousing unnecessary suspicion.
"Well, I just want to see how they train and their fighting habits. After all, I didn't come to the ring looking for death.
My family members look down on me, so I'm going to let them see my true strength and know how foolish it is to give up on me! " Lai Siyu lied without a frown, and she felt it was necessary to find a reasonable excuse to explain why she had to challenge the ring.
