He deliberately hit Long Di's sore spots with every word, hoping to enrage Long Di and expose his true colors. Unfortunately, Long Di didn't fall for it.
Zi Sangyi observed her surroundings and discovered that they were also inside another, larger enclosure. The smaller enclosure that had been trapping people seemed to exist to maintain order at the scene.
His idea was confirmed in the next second. Sect Master Huangfu rushed straight to the edge with his weapon, wanting to get out and bring back reinforcements, but as soon as he reached the edge, a mysterious force blocked him. If you looked closely, you could see that the barrier was fluctuating.
The others naturally noticed this, and those who weren't worried before started to worry again.
They thought the sect leaders were all here and they could rescue them, but they didn't expect that all the sect leaders were trapped here.
"Long Di, come out here and let's have a good talk. There's still room for this to be resolved, isn't there?" Sect Master Yan said in a relaxed tone, as if he had come to terms with the situation and wanted to have a serious discussion with him.
But Long Di wasn't going to take responsibility for this and remained hidden in the shadows, unwilling to show himself. "My old friends, don't worry, the first surprise I've prepared for you is coming soon!"
Long Di laughed and left the scene. The others looked at each other, wondering what Long Di was up to.
The next second, a crack appeared on the arena, splitting open from the middle, revealing a gap in front of everyone. The people in front of them looked at each other, as if they could see disbelief in each other's eyes.
"What happened? Why did the ring crack?!"
"This arena was built in ancient times, and the materials used are far superior to those of today. It could withstand any attack of spiritual power without any damage, so how could it suddenly crack!"
"Don't you know about this? It's said that there's an evil entity suppressed by ancient immortals underground, and that arena is the core of the formation. Now that the core has cracked, it means that thing is about to come out!"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately tensed up. "I don't want to die! I have a wife and children waiting for me at home. I just wanted to gamble and earn some extra money to improve my life. Why do I have to risk my life now?"
The man was crying his eyes out, looking incredibly heartbroken, but no one was paying attention to him; everyone was trying to figure out what this place was all about.
All the speculations poured out, and the sect leaders standing below the stage looked serious.
Others may not know, but they know best: what is being suppressed beneath this arena is a demon!
Legend has it that this demon swept through the third and second floors, but before it could reach the first floor, it was sealed here by the immortal spirits who came down from the first floor, just to prevent it from causing trouble.
For so many years, all has been peaceful. The fact that such a large-scale competition could be held was with the permission of that celestial being, who also said that this method was beneficial.
As for the rest, they had no idea. They hadn't sealed away the monster back then, and that person hadn't given them any clues or left anything behind before drifting away, showing no regard for their lives whatsoever.
"What do we do now?" Sect Master Yan looked worried, as he had never seen such a scene before.
Zisangyi was also seeing such a grand scene for the first time, concerning the life and death of the entire second floor. However, after the arena cracked, no demonic energy immediately leaked out from it. It was very ordinary, just like the arena cracked normally, without any abnormality.
"What can we do? If we follow Long Di's wishes, perhaps we can still survive." The branch leader of the Zhentian Clan said this calmly. He usually didn't say much in this situation, but when he did, he said something that boosted the morale of others and diminished his own.
Sect Leader Yan spat, "Bullshit! I'm not that kind of coward. So what if I die! I'll drag that bastard Long Di down with me!"
His voice was very deep and resonant, and he spoke through gritted teeth.
The same accident that happened outside also happened inside. During the competition, although the senior disciples disappeared, the other disciples were still inside.
Shangguan Xi looked around. She was in a forest when suddenly a spirit beast jumped out of the forest and pounced on her fiercely, wanting to devour her.
The next second, a sword pierced through its body, and the spirit beast fell to the ground, powerless to resist.
Shangguan Xi stepped forward and picked up all the light orbs around the spirit beast, placing them into the token. She wiped the blood splattered on her face, then picked up the token in her hand and began to check the rankings.
Qingtao Valley's current ranking is neither high nor low, stuck in fourth place. This ranking is not bad. If you combine it with the first place in the first competition, it is still a very good result.
She sheathed her sword and intended to continue walking forward, but after only a couple of steps, several people emerged from the bushes beside her. The newcomers had rosy complexions and were all smiles, as if something good had happened.
Shangguan Xi recognized the person in front of him; he was Quan Si, the eldest disciple of Dragon Roar Valley.
Quan Si walked up to Shangguan Xi, looked at the handsome young man, and said with a smile, "Look at how good-looking you are, it would be a shame if you died. Why don't you come with me and I'll let you live?"
His words were ambiguous, and Shangguan Qi thought he meant that he wanted her to survive here and continue to keep the light orb for the sect. With a smile on his face, his eyes gradually changed color.
Seeing this, the people around Quan Si warned him warily, "Be careful, she knows charm magic. Don't forget, Zhan Qi almost died at her hands before."
Quan Si scoffed, "That Zhan Qi dares to compare himself to me? He's not worthy!?"
After the two of them finished speaking, Shangguan Xi finally spoke, her voice drawn out and lingering, "Oh dear, isn't this Fourth Senior Brother Quan? What are you doing here? And there are so many people around you. I'm so scared, sob sob!"
Shangguan Xi's eyes were innocent, her pupils unchanged, but coupled with her tone and innocent expression, no one could associate her with the murderous female demon. Quan Si was immediately captivated, chuckled twice, and said in a sticky and disgusting tone, "Don't be afraid, little sister, your brother is right here. Come here, brother will take you to find the light orb and make you number one, how about that?"
Shangguan Xi's face showed a surprised expression. She covered her mouth with her hand and said in surprise, "Is Fourth Brother Quan really willing to give me this opportunity? I am so happy! If my Eldest Sister knew how amazing I am, she would definitely be proud of me."
When Quan Si heard the name Xu Yuehuai, his expression changed for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.
