"Hmm, Brother Qiang, I listen to you." Zuo Dao heavily nodded. The two walked together to the official designated location - the very center of the square.

The square in Anyang City is equivalent to a small city, very vast. The gathering of over ten thousand contestants in the center of the square barely makes a small group.

When all the contestants gathered in the center of the square, an elderly man, who appeared to be five hundred years old, sat cross-legged on an Immortal Crane and flew to the sky above the square. After he arrived, all the administrators hosting the competition below looked up to the sky and clasped their fists in salute, saying, "Greetings, Vermilion Bird Guardian!"

Beneath the Domain Lord, there are the Four Great Protectors, which are Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise,

And the elderly man who has arrived now is the Vermilion Bird Guardian, whose cultivation base has crossed into the realm of Purple Mansion Immortal, with formidable strength.

The Immortal Crane carried his body and flew above the square, stopping there. His Divine Sense slightly scanned, sweeping over the over ten thousand contestants below. When he didn't find any suspicious individuals resembling Evil Immortals, he withdrew his Divine Sense.

The Purple Mansion Immortal is indeed extraordinary. With just a Divine Sense, the over ten thousand Daluo Golden Immortals below felt an invisible pressure, like a powerful hurricane blowing through, making it almost impossible for anyone to breathe.

The Vermilion Bird Guardian began his speech. He first briefly explained the competition rules of the Territory City's elimination match, then instructed a few important steps. After speaking, he paused and then solemnly announced, "Alright, all contestants listen up, now take out the Communication Talismans you have in your hands..."

All the contestants were stunned, not sure what the Vermilion Bird Guardian wanted to do. Some quickly took out the Communication Talisman from their Storage Rings, while others hesitated.

"Quickly, or else your competition eligibility will be revoked." The Vermilion Bird Guardian's voice rumbled down, containing an undeniable authority within it.

Upon hearing this voice, everyone took out the Communication Talismans and held them in their hands.

The Vermilion Bird Guardian made a gesture with his hand, and instantly all the Communication Talismans in the contestants' hands flew into the sky towards him.

The Vermilion Bird Guardian waved his hand, and instantly a golden Storage Bag shot out, self-inflating without any wind, becoming upside-down with its opening facing downwards. Instantly, those flying tens of thousands of Communication Talismans shrank into dots, entering the Storage Bag one by one.

After collecting the Storage Bag, the Vermilion Bird Guardian then waved his right hand, the Storage Ring on his middle finger glowed, and tens of thousands of Dragon Tendons spilled out, landing in the hands of each contestant below.

Simultaneously, he said, "These Dragon Tendons are used to bind the heads of criminals... these criminals are more numerous than all of you present, and they are all vicious death-row convicts, without any omission allowed. When you kill them, regardless of their strength, the slain criminals' heads must be bound to the Dragon Tendons for post-competition verification. Of course, these criminals' heads also represent your scores. If lost, it will damage your scores..."

"Alright, set off!" the Vermilion Bird Guardian said, waving his hand, as a circular Teleportation Array was cast from his hand, gradually descending. As it descended, it expanded, and when it landed on the ground, it just enveloped the over ten thousand contestants in the center of the square. The light of the Teleportation Array spun, spinning faster and faster, like a whirlwind...

Everyone felt dizzy and involuntarily closed their eyes, and when they opened them again, they had already arrived at the Beast Corpse Mountain Range.

The difference was, in the square, everyone was gathered together, but after being teleported to the Beast Corpse Mountain Range, they were scattered. This was done by the officials to avoid contestant conflicts and prevent some people from teaming up. In short, the over ten thousand contestants were all alone.

Now, everyone understood the Vermilion Bird Guardian's intention for retrieving their Communication Talismans, which was to prevent them from contacting each other.

Looking at the perilous mountains and evil waters before them, hearing the terrifying roars from near and far, sounding like beast but not beast, demon but not demon, ghost but not ghost, and hearing the arrogance and cruel laughter of the criminals who had just been banished, some cultivators with weaker cultivation bases and timid hearts, especially female cultivators, were directly frightened to tears by this scene, shrinking to the ground, not daring to move a step.

Originally planning to use tribal forces to eliminate Wang Xiaoqiang, the Little Prince of the Royal Family of Hetu, saw this scene and felt extremely disappointed. The seven Daluo Golden Immortals he gathered from the Eastern Mountain Tribe were all scattered around, none by his side, unable to contact them. Truly blinded.

The Purple Sun Immortal and King of Eastern Mountain were also deeply disappointed. This time they also borrowed the name of competition, vainly hoping to kill Wang Xiaoqiang in the Beast Corpse Mountain Range, but did not expect the confidant strong warriors they brought were scattered after passing through the teleportation array, not together.

There was also the pair of male and female disciples from the Spring and Autumn Sect, who had originally united with six other disciples from the sect, vainly hoping to gather the strength of eight people to kill Wang Xiaoqiang and Zuo Dao in the Beast Corpse Mountain Range, but they also ended up scattered, unable to make contact.

Zuo Dao was also very apprehensive, he had originally agreed to stay with Wang Xiaoqiang, but did not expect to be scattered away from him, making him very uneasy.

As a brother, Wang Xiaoqiang also wanted to look after Zuo Dao, but seeing this situation, he was helpless,

He has always been used to freedom, liking to act alone, so among the over ten thousand contestants, perhaps only Wang Xiaoqiang was more excited. At this moment, he was like a wild horse released, fleeing around in the Beast Corpse Mountain Range, exhibiting the power of his physical body, making his speed like electricity,

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

His figure transformed into a phantom during the wild sprint, and he didn't forget to plan his action while sprinting. Along with his plan, his figure gradually slowed down,

When his plan was set, he stopped, then surprisingly found a relatively hidden cave in the mountain range, staked himself inside, released a Patterned Beast to guard the entrance, and then started cultivating in the cave.

The competition time is only half a month, during which aside from some timid individuals, every contestant wants to seize every moment to find and kill criminals, striving for better scores to avoid elimination, while Wang Xiaoqiang directly started cultivating in the cave.

If his actions were known to others, they would definitely call him a fool.

However, Wang Xiaoqiang is not foolish; he has his plan. He sat cross-legged in the cave, took out a pile of Liquid Gathering Pills from his Sumeru Ring and placed them on the ground, then released a hundred billion Spiritual Springs to begin absorption...

A hundred billion Spiritual Springs divided into several batches, alternately attached to the Liquid Gathering Pills for absorption. When the hundred billion Spiritual Springs became fully absorbed, they emitted a faint, fine cracking sound, finally splitting into two hundred billion Spiritual Springs.

Now, the total number of Spiritual Springs inside Wang Xiaoqiang's body reached 40,000,109,600, and with a move of his will, the 40,000,109,600 Spiritual Springs were absorbed into his body, simultaneously jolting, then releasing Spiritual Energy, which condensed into Immortal Liquid...

Once the Liquid Gathering Pills on the ground were exhausted, he took out another large batch of Liquid Gathering Pills and continued to absorb and cultivate...(To be continued.
