Seeing this scene, Luo Yan's face immediately darkened.

In Luo Yan's opinion, inviting a group of ants to join his team should have been met with gratitude and tears of thanks, but the reality was far from what Luo Yan imagined. It was even starkly opposite.

Actually, Luo Yan didn't really need too many people, just wanted a few cannon fodder, but everyone's behavior was undoubtedly like a slap on Luo Yan's face.

This made Luo Yan extremely furious inside!

It's one thing for Lan Xinyi and Avril to be disrespectful to him, Luo Yan, since they are all strong at the same level, but now a group of ants dared not to put him, Luo Yan, in their eyes!

Humph!

Luo Yan let out a cold snort from his nose, his face darkened, and his voice was as cold as if it came from the icy depths of Hell Jiuyou.

"There are many opportunities within the relics, and for those joining my team, I, Luo Yan, will certainly strive with all my might to find opportunities for them. For those not joining, of course, I cannot force them."

"But if by chance we both set our sights on an opportunity, naturally, I, Luo Yan, will prioritize helping those who trust me."

"Everyone, have you thought it through?"

Luo Yan's voice was incomparably cold, and the threat in his words was barely concealed.

"Brother Luo… we are willing to join!"

Many people at this moment were trembling, choosing to bow to Luo Yan.

It's a joke; Luo Yan is a super strong cultivator in Zhiwei Realm, once his Domain is activated, he's almost invincible! Now, Luo Yan is practically shamelessly declaring that if one doesn't join him, one will certainly be madly targeted!

In this relic, if you become an enemy of Luo Yan, you could lose not just opportunities but potentially your own life!

Therefore, although many were extremely unwilling, they still reluctantly joined Luo Yan's team.

Each year, the relic has a quota of a hundred people, with domestic cultivators taking up most of it, and at this moment, more than twenty people joined Luo Yan!

This means that Luo Yan alone has gathered a majority of the cultivators, forming an unbeatable team!

Seeing this, Luo Yan finally nodded in satisfaction, coldly looked over the remaining people, and without further threats, directly led the crowd away.

For Luo Yan, cannon fodder is necessary, but if there are too many, it will hinder his actions.

As Luo Yan and others left, some foreign monks also began to leave, as they had already chosen their cooperation targets before coming to Huaxia.

One cultivator after another left, and the originally slightly crowded venue instantly became spacious, with about twenty cultivators eyeing each other, but no one rushed to speak out.

Foreign monks cannot be recruited, and Luo Yan and other powerhouses are too strong; following them impulsively would only reduce you to cannon fodder. Moreover, from the start, everyone's goal was never on Luo Yan.

Everyone knows they do not qualify to compete with powerhouses like Luo Yan; their competition targets are those with similar strength!

So, the real strategic alliance is actually just beginning…

In a corner, Xu Fan stood there extremely low-key, saying nothing, coldly observing everything around him.

Before entering the relic, Xu Fan was still facing considerable danger; if Luo Yan or someone else wouldn't mind tearing up their reputation and blatantly making senior powerhouses attack him, Xu Fan might be in danger.

But now, though Xu Fan is not completely safe, he can say without reservation that in this relic, Xu Fan has become a being that can walk unchallenged.

What Luo Yan, what Lan Xinyi, what dependence for warmth, what strategic alliances, Xu Fan doesn't care at all.

Therefore, Xu Fan is not in a hurry at all.

Rather than wandering aimlessly looking for opportunities in this vast relic, it's better to join a team and slowly gather intelligence. Once he hears someone found an opportunity and Xu Fan is displeased with them, he could simply snatch it.

However, one thing puzzled Xu Fan, which was Lan Xinyi's hostility.

Although Lan Xinyi now had a head full of white hair and her whole demeanor had drastically changed, her extraordinarily beautiful face was still exceptional, and Xu Fan naturally wouldn't ignore it.

In Xu Fan's impression, Lan Xinyi was a woman he always respectfully kept his distance from, despite having quite the entangled animosity, and when Li Family attempted to assassinate Xu Fan, Lan Xinyi had appeared. Yet during the big competition, Xu Fan did not attack Lan Xinyi.

After all, a woman as stunning as Lan Xinyi would not be harmed by Xu Fan unless absolutely necessary or unless there was a deep vendetta.

But today, at the relic entrance, Lan Xinyi was obviously at odds with Avril, and her hostility towards Xu Fan was apparent.

In fact, apart from Lan Xinyi herself, no one understood why Lan Xinyi held such hostility towards Xu Fan, and even Lan Tongxuan, Lan Xinyi's father, only knew that Xu Fan had coldly glanced at Lan Xinyi at the competition.

Just a cold glance, and it resulted in deep-seated hatred? Is there anything more absurd in this world?

Even for Xu Fan, who considers himself an experienced old hand, he was deeply confused at this moment…

While Xu Fan was puzzling, the twenty-odd people in the field cautiously examined each other until finally, someone couldn't hold back.

This moment saw a young man in a white robe stand out, with a face full of friendliness.

"Haha, since no one wants to speak, then let me, Huang Dong, take the lead."

"Ladies and gentlemen, within the relic, opportunities coexist with dangers, which everyone naturally understands. But I now say that this year's relic journey is hundreds of times more perilous than you imagine!"

"I, Huang Dong, wager with my life that those who walk out alive from the relic this year will not exceed the number of ten fingers!"

A stone stirred up a thousand waves!

With Huang Dong's words, everyone looked at Huang Dong in horror.

Even Xu Fan raised his eyelids, giving Huang Dong a淡淡的look.

Not that Xu Fan was interested in Huang Dong's words, but because Huang Dong's surname is Huang, and Xu Fan happens to have quite a vendetta with Huang Family!

However, Xu Fan was not impatient, nor did he show the slightest killing intent.

With Xu Fan's current strength, having murderous thoughts towards a junior of Huang Family would only lower Xu Fan's status.

Those people from Huang Family, Xu Fan is certain to kill, and Xu Fan will certainly pay a visit to Huang Family, but not now.
