Forbidden Land

Unconsciously, a few days had passed.

Since Lu Xue'er helped Xiao Feng once, the Qing Sect Disciple no longer dared to trouble Xiao Feng, fearing that Lu Xue'er would appear before them.

Lu Xue'er was not only the Qing Sect's Senior Apprentice Sister but also a regular at the Pill Refining Room.

As long as a Qing Sect Disciple offended Lu Xue'er, it would be incredibly difficult for them to use the Qing Sect's pills in the future.

Xiao Feng, knowing he had benefited from Lu Xue'er, stayed in his courtyard every day, focusing on studying his Qing Sect Qi Refining Technique in his room.

Now, the Qing Sect Qi Refining Technique had reached the Peak of the third layer, and he believed it wouldn't be long before he reached the fourth layer.

As usual, Xiao Feng got up, opened the door, looked at the sky, and stretched: "It seems today's cultivation is about to begin."

Just as he finished speaking, footsteps came from the doorway.

Xiao Feng subconsciously glanced towards the doorway, his brow furrowing slightly: "Zhou Wei? Why do you have time to come here?"

Zhou Wei looked at Xiao Feng's surprised expression and couldn't help but ask Xiao Feng: "Could it be that you don't know about the Qing Sect's recent big event?"

He had indeed seen many Disciple walking around outside recently, but he had assumed they were Disciple summoned by Du Huasheng and didn't pay attention.

Now, after Zhou Wei's reminder, Xiao Feng vaguely felt there were many things he didn't know about.

He saw him step aside, pointing inside: "Come, let's talk inside."

Zhou Wei understood he was worried about being overheard, agreed readily, and followed behind Xiao Feng. The two of them entered the room.

Soon, Zhou Wei spilled everything he knew.

It turned out that the Forbidden Ground, which opened every ten years, was about to open. All the major Sects were arranging for many Disciple to go and seek opportunities.

Over the years, some people had obtained Spirit Beasts inside, and some had obtained their magic artifacts.

And without exception, all those people became pillars of strength within the Sect.

Now, the Forbidden Ground was about to open, and their Qing Sect was also selecting Disciple to go to the Forbidden Ground.

Originally, Zhou Wei thought Xiao Feng had already signed up, but no one expected that he didn't know about this at all.

Fortunately, Zhou Wei came at the right time, otherwise, it would be somewhat unreasonable for the Sect Leader's Personal Disciple not to participate in such a fortune.

Due to the tight schedule, Xiao Feng glanced at him: "You rest here for a while, I'll go ask the Sect Leader and sign up as soon as possible."

Zhou Wei heard Xiao Feng was still worried about etiquette and waved his hand repeatedly: "You don't have to worry about neglecting me, we're buddies, go quickly."

As the Sect Leader's Personal Disciple, the Sect Leader lived next to his courtyard, so it was very convenient for Xiao Feng to find the Sect Leader.

In just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he arrived at the entrance of the Sect Leader's room and glanced inside: "Master, Disciple requests an audience."

When the Sect Leader heard Xiao Feng's voice, he immediately understood what he had come for.

The Sect Leader led him into the room and sized him up: "It seems you already know about the Forbidden Ground."

Xiao Feng nodded slightly, his face full of curiosity: "I wonder what the situation with the Forbidden Ground is? Can you tell this Disciple about it in detail?"

Anyway, the Qing Sect was only competing for one spot there, and there were no internal conflicts within the Sect, so the Sect Leader could speak freely about what he knew.

Since there were many Qing Sect Disciple planning to go to the Forbidden Ground, the Elder and the Sect Leader could not show favoritism in such matters, so they specially prepared a competition for them.

To prevent uneven strength among them, the Sect Leader specifically set the strength limit to below Fifth Stage Disciple.

Disciple above the Fifth Stage were no longer eligible to participate in the competition, meaning they were not eligible to go to the Forbidden Ground.

Xiao Feng checked his strength within his body, calculated the time, and the time for the next strength refresh was about to arrive.

As long as his strength did not exceed the Fifth Stage, he would be able to break through the siege.

In just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the Sect Leader told him everything he knew.

Xiao Feng originally thought that among the Disciple participating in the competition, only Lu Xue'er and Feng Luo would be able to become his opponents.

No one expected that as soon as he arrived at the competition venue, he would see that familiar figure at a glance.

Liu Chengfeng looked at Du Huasheng with disdain: "Claiming to be a Senior, yet competing with us juniors for a spot, truly shameless."

According to the time Du Huasheng himself mentioned, he should have been with the Sect's Elder.

Xiao Feng listened to Liu Chengfeng's complaint and couldn't help but say to him: "Du Huasheng's strength is too poor, I think the Sect Leader and Elder must have considered his strength."

If his strength had far exceeded the Fifth Stage, he believed the Sect Leader would not have allowed him to participate in the competition.

Just then, the Sect Leader and Elder arrived at the competition venue and swept their gaze over them: "Everyone stand in your positions, we have something to tell you."

Everyone exchanged glances and returned to their positions, wanting to see what the Sect Leader wanted to tell them.

The Sect Leader watched everyone return to their positions and glanced at Elder Six: "Elder Six, tell them the competition rules we've set."

The person called Elder Six slowly walked out, stood before them, and bowed: "I will now introduce the rules to you."

Since entering the Forbidden Ground meant a free-for-all, they would also adopt a free-for-all rule this time.

As long as they could hold out until only five people remained, those five would be the candidates to go to the Forbidden Ground.

Upon learning they needed to fight in a free-for-all, Feng Luo swept a cold gaze over the Disciple behind him, causing them to lower their heads.

As the Sect's Senior Brother, he had his own arrogance, and lackeys dared not rashly attack him.

As the Sect Leader announced the start of the competition, many people began to group together and fight, deciding to jointly snatch the five spots.

Due to Lu Xue'er's relatively reclusive personality, she had no one by her side and was struggling to deal with the surrounding attacks from those people.

Xiao Feng was worried that the people around him were getting fewer and fewer, so he glanced at Zhou Wei and Shen Qingchen: "You two come with me, let's go help Lu Xue'er."

Now, Feng Luo and Du Huasheng both had their own forces, and he believed they wouldn't be easily defeated.

When Lu Xue'er saw Xiao Feng arrive in front of her with a group, she understood he wanted to help her advance, and she nodded hesitantly.

Although Du Huasheng wanted to use the Disciple in his hands to deal with Xiao Feng and the other three, the Qing Sect Disciple were not fools. How could they not know that going forward meant courting death?

In the end, many of Du Huasheng's Disciple defected, and the entire group began to counterattack, almost driving Du Huasheng out of the competition.
