Although Wu Tianqi's actions looked impressive, they consumed a lot of spiritual energy.
Perhaps because everyone's gazes were fixed on Wu Tianqi, Wu Tianqi sensed it and suddenly turned around to look in their direction.
His gaze swept quickly over the group, lingering only on Wei Qinghe.
This time, Wei Qinghe did not disguise herself because she was with Di Fuyue.
As his gaze fell upon Wei Qinghe, the people beside him also looked in that direction.
A man next to Wu Tianqi suddenly grinned wickedly.
"The young clan leader is so charming that he attracts the attention of beautiful women wherever he goes."
Wu Tianqi curled his lips into a half-smile, "Perhaps they're just looking at this direction."
"But she is indeed quite beautiful. Gu Yanghe, your elder brother told you to restrain yourself and not to be unable to walk past a woman."
The male cultivator known as Gu Yanghe is Gu Yangfeng's younger brother, but at this moment Gu Yanghe is unaware that Gu Yangfeng has already died in the underwater ruins of the Azure Sea.
Gu Yanghe's gaze was fixed on Wei Qinghe, and he couldn't bear to look away.
“She’s different. She’s more beautiful than any other beauty I’ve ever seen. If I could take her into my household, I would never look for another beauty in this life. That way, my elder brother wouldn’t say anything to me.”
“Gu Yanghe, lust is a double-edged sword. Didn’t you see that the male cultivator next to that woman is no ordinary person?” Wu Tianqi looked at Di Fuyue again.
As a giant, he rarely took many opponents seriously.
"Besides, she's not a giant's woman, she can't withstand your torment."
Wei Qinghe didn't like being stared at like that either, so she simply leaned against Di Fuyue's back, blocking his view.
Di Fuyue disliked people staring at Wei Qinghe like that, so he raised his chin slightly to better protect Wei Qinghe behind him.
Seeing this, Longcheng also stepped forward, leaving no gap for the other party.
"It's over, Fellow Daoist Wei, you've been targeted by Gu Yanghe." Mao Kai felt somewhat guilty. If they hadn't discovered Wu Tianqi first, they wouldn't have attracted the attention of Wu Tianqi and Gu Yanghe.
Gu Yanghe is notorious for his womanizing ways; he's the kind of guy who can't resist a woman.
If he wants it, he will do everything in his power to get it, regardless of age or status.
Because he was a giant, ordinary human women simply couldn't withstand him; any woman he targeted was doomed to die.
"Gu Yanghe?" Upon hearing this name, Wei Qinghe naturally thought of Gu Yangfeng, who had just died.
They're both giants, so they must be from the same family.
She already had a grudge against the Gu family, so she didn't care about having Gu Yanghe as well.
Di Fuyue said coldly, "I wouldn't mind gouging out his eyes."
Mao Kai and the others felt that Di Fuyue's words truly reflected her background in a remote town.
I am not familiar with the young patriarch of the giant race, nor with the Gu family, a major clan of giants.
"That Wu Tianqi is the young patriarch of the giant clan, Gu Yanghe is the young master of a prominent family, and his elder brother Gu Yangfeng is the number one warrior of the Gu family..."
As soon as Gu Yangfeng uttered his name, Wei Qinghe, Di Fuyue, and Long Cheng immediately knew who it was.
So what if he's the number one warrior?
He died in the underwater ruins.
The giants, however, possess unparalleled brute strength in battle, even surpassing those who specialize in physical cultivation.
However, their movements are relatively slow, and they are only good at close-range attacks.
The heavy snow continued to fall, and many cultivators were covered with a thick layer of snow on their heads and bodies, with some even having ice frozen on their hair.
Some with insufficient cultivation had their lower bodies frozen and numb.
"My legs, my legs..."
"I can't move my lower body at all. I give up, I give up..."
Anyone who shouts "Give up" will be automatically teleported away.
People were sent away intermittently, and as time went on, in just one day and one night, about one-fifth of the people had been sent away.
However, many people remained at the scene.
Just as dawn broke, the previously closed gates of the Northern Underworld Palace were suddenly opened.
A warm light seemed to shine out from inside the gate, giving everyone a sense of happiness as if they had transitioned directly from winter to spring.
Immediately afterwards, a group of disciples dressed in gray and white Taoist robes from the Northern Underworld Divine Palace came out.
They exuded an aura of authority, and their gazes quickly swept over the crowd.
Except for the team leader, everyone else was carrying a tray.
Inside the tray was a stone for testing talent. Several other disciples held trays containing jade pendants; possessing a jade pendant granted entry into the Northern Underworld Divine Palace.
Of course, this is just to become a qualified disciple and enter the Northern Underworld Divine Palace to participate in the next round of selection.
A smiling young man stood in the center of the gate and said in a gentle tone:
"I am Yuan Baiqi, an inner disciple of the Northern Underworld Divine Palace. You can call me Senior Brother Yuan."
"You've managed to stay outside the Northern Underworld Palace for so long, which means you must possess some skill. Now, you only need to have your spiritual roots tested. As long as your spiritual roots meet the Northern Underworld Palace's recruitment requirements, you can proceed to the next stage of the selection process."
“I’ll go first.” Gu Yanghe suddenly stepped forward, and the phantom of the giant race appeared behind him.
A glint of unreadable light flashed in Wu Tianqi's narrow eyes.
"It's a giant!" Many cultivators who hadn't recognized him before were now flustered upon seeing that he was a giant.
Giants are exceptionally powerful in combat, and they would be at a great disadvantage in arena battles.
Hearing the exclamations from the crowd, Gu Yanghe became even more smug, as he disliked seeing others fear him.
