429: Fall into the seat

Those unfortunate souls looked at each other, still reeling.

"What happened to you guys?"

"Damn it, the moment I landed, I entered a nest of Yao Beasts and smashed that strange bird's egg. Guess how she's going to deal with me?"

"Motherf*cker, what's that compared to mine? I never even landed! I was immediately Teleported outside a cliff and kept falling. I dropped thousands of meters before being Teleported back. Don't talk to me about Fighting Qi wings; you couldn't use Fighting Qi in that place at all!"

"I'm not much better! Damn it, a hurricane swept me up directly, spinning me hundreds of times before slamming me into the mountain wall. If it weren't for the Spiritual Talisman given by the Talisman Curse Demon Lord, I would have been a puddle."

People were continuously Teleported back, one after another.

They were all the unlucky ones who were instantly defeated upon landing.

Hearing Hall Master Zhong Ruiyi's words, they were all hesitant and did not immediately make a decision.

"What do we say? Do we leave now or re-enter?"

"This special space is too dangerous; there is a possibility of death at any moment. If we encounter the same situation as before, wouldn't we just be instantly wiped out?"

"But if we leave just like this, we really won't be reconciled! I heard that Jiang Taishen of the Lingyun Sect obtained his Opportunity in this special space, achieved the rank of Saint, and soared to greatness. If he can do it, why can't I?"

"Indeed, with every Opportunity comes danger! If we re-enter, we will not only face the harsh environment but also powerful Yao Beasts and other contestants who may or may not be enemies. It is simply too difficult to stand out."

Everyone lingered beneath the Teleportation Array, unwilling to leave, yet afraid to re-enter.

Among the many contestants who had lost their Spiritual Talismans was a lovely and delicate young woman. She was Lu Xingchen's Second Senior Sister: Xu Qing.

That's right, Xu Qing also met with an accident and was eliminated once right at the start of the Convention.

Listening to the whispers around her, Xu Qing gritted her teeth and flew towards the Teleportation Array again.

"Little Junior Brother, I'm sorry. Although you instructed me to withdraw from the competition if I died once, I won't listen to you this time!"

"Senior Sister and Li Changbai have both achieved a Breakthrough to Early Heaven Realm, and you have even become one of the nine prodigies of the central continent. Now, in the sect, I've become the laggard. I, Xu Qing, don't need a protective umbrella. I want to prove to everyone that even without your protection, I can still reach the peak of Tianyuan!"

Xu Qing quickly rushed into the Teleportation Array, leaving only a graceful silhouette for everyone to see.

Seeing this scene, the entire venue fell silent for three seconds, then immediately erupted into a huge clamor.

"Holy crap, who is that person? So courageous?"

"I don't know, but judging by the back, it must be a beauty. Damn, if a girl is that brave, can we big men really lose to her? I'm going in too!"

"What do you mean by that? Who says women are inferior to men? I can go in too!"

Inspired by Xu Qing, the previously hesitant crowd regained their fighting spirit, rushing into the Teleportation Array one after another.

There was no one left on the stone platform.

Zhong Ruiyi raised her eyebrows slightly and whispered, "This young girl is quite interesting! Her Dao Heart is firm, and she has a promising future. Although her strength is a bit lacking, it's hard to predict what her future achievements will be."

Ning Zhifeng nodded slightly: "She certainly has some backbone. The Human Emperor Hall has collected the data of all contestants, Hall Master Zhong, what is this young girl's name?"

"Let me see!"

After speaking, Zhong Ruiyi infused her Soul Power into the booklet in her hand, and in just a few seconds, she memorized the information of all the contestants.

"Her name is Xu Qing."

"Oh? She is Lu Xingchen's Senior Sister in the Lingyun Sect, Jiang Taishen's third Personal Disciple."

Hearing this, Ning Zhifeng raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Oh? A Disciple of Jiang Taishen? That's not surprising then."

Lu Xingchen's luck was also not very good.

He was Teleported into a room, landing directly on a table. The force of the landing knocked over the plates, spilling various dishes and grease all over him.

Lu Xingchen wasn't a germaphobe, but he did like cleanliness.

No normal person could tolerate this situation, right?

But now was not the time to tidy his clothes, because he had already fallen into a nest of Yao Beasts.

Damn it, Hall Master Zhong Ruiyi's words at the entrance had come true—he really had fallen into a nest of Yao Beasts!

Looking around, this was a magnificent room containing dozens of tables, and seated at each table were ten 'people' of various appearances.

Judging by the appearance, it seemed like a feast?

But Lu Xingchen could feel powerful Demonic Power; needless to say, they were all transformed Yao Beasts.

Because high-rank Yao Beasts usually have large bodies, which hinders movement and communication, Yao Beasts above the Fifth Rank generally transform into Human Race forms, only reverting to their original bodies when fighting.

Lu Xingchen was looking at them, and they were also observing Lu Xingchen.

"Huh? Didn't the Human Race on the Liuxing Continent die out long ago? Where did this Human Race member pop out from?"

"This is terrifying. He actually appeared directly in Lord Chu Huai's reception hall! If he appeared in the Ice Spirit Well, wouldn't he be able to steal the ice spirit grass directly? This kid is extremely strange."

"Since ancient times, the Human Race and Yao Beasts have been irreconcilable. Since this kid appeared here, he clearly intends to wage war against our Chu Feng Valley. We cannot let him return alive!"

"Brothers, grab your weapons!"

The more than one hundred Yao Beasts present all stood up, staring intently at Lu Xingchen, and some Yao Beasts even took out their blades.

The atmosphere instantly became tense.

Lu Xingchen frowned.

Liuxing Continent?

Is this special space so vast that it can be named using the word 'Continent'?

No wonder the duration of the Martial Arts Convention was set for one year. Even if tens of thousands of people entered this so-called Liuxing Continent simultaneously, it wouldn't cause much of a ripple.

The strength of these Yao Beasts was not weak; there were over twenty Eighth-rank monsters alone, and the Yao Beast sitting in the center, in the main seat, possessed the Realm of "eighth rank, eighth star".

Although he had the ability to fight opponents above his rank, this was the Liuxing Continent, not the Tianyuan Continent. Who knew how strong the combat power of these Yao Beasts was or what trump cards they possessed?

Furthermore, since neither side had grudges against the other, there was no need to fight to the death immediately upon meeting.

Lu Xingchen immediately activated his Fighting Qi, revealing the strength of a Four-star Martial Venerable without reservation. He then cupped his hands in greeting toward the "eighth rank, eighth star" Yao Beast.

"Junior Lu Dazhuang, I come from the Tianyuan Continent. I came here this time to seek an Opportunity for Sainthood. The landing point of the Teleportation Array is random, and disturbing your drinking was not my intention. I hope you can let me leave!"

Hearing this, a clamor immediately arose among the Yao Beasts in the room.

"What? He's actually a person from the Tianyuan Continent! Wasn't the Liuxing Continent Sealed by that Lord long ago? How did they get in?"

"Yes, this is simply unbelievable!"
