THE RULE KING

The huge flying boat of the Zixiao Sword Sect was extremely fast. It only took half an hour to hover above a certain place.

The elder who was controlling the flying boat walked to the center of the crowd and said, "Ahead is the Chenling Sea. There is a place with spatial distortion thirty zhang below us. You can fly in with your flying swords. The deeper parts of the secret realm haven't been explored yet, so there may be many unknown demonic beasts. If you encounter a crisis, you can crush the teleportation jade slip and return directly to the flying boat. I'll be here waiting for you all."

"Let's start now."

Many disciples participating in the competition replied in unison, and then they all flew down with their flying swords. Almost everyone took a deep look at Xu Shan before leaving, as if they were afraid of forgetting his appearance.

Lu Xiangjun patted Xu Shan on the shoulder. "Junior Brother, I'm leaving. Take care of yourself."

Xu Shan nodded and looked towards the Chenling Sea. Crossing the sea, one could reach the place where demonic cultivators lived in groups. The place where demonic cultivation prevails is obviously not a place that righteous cultivators are willing to go to. It might be a good choice for him...

The square in front of the main hall of the Zixiao Sword Sect returned to its deserted state. There were only dozens of sect masters and elders from various sects on the scene.

Sun Yuanzheng walked into the crowd. "Everyone, our disciples have now gone to the secret realm."

"Our sect has actually made some special preparations for this competition, which can be regarded as a surprise."

"What kind of surprise is it?" someone asked.

Sun Yuanzheng raised his hand and said loudly, "Activate the Tongguang Xuanzhao Great Formation!"

The elders of the Zixiao Sword Sect on the square immediately made hand seals. A huge formation diagram slowly emerged in the square. Then a ray of light shot from the center of the formation diagram into the air, forming a light screen.

The light screen was divided into hundreds of sections, and the content on it was actually the disciples participating in the competition in the secret realm.

"In previous competitions, we've always seen the real strength on the arena. This time, our disciples are competing, and we should also watch the battle. So we made some modifications to the teleportation jade slips. We didn't inform you all because we were afraid it would affect the performance of our disciples. What do you think?"

"Very good. This is really considerate."

Sun Yuanzheng laughed heartily, raised his hand, and summoned dozens of chairs, arranging them neatly in front of the square.

"Good. I'm glad you all like it. Then let's together witness the demeanor of the new generation of cultivators in our Water Mirror Region!"

...

On the flying boat, the cultivators participating in the trial were like dumplings being dropped into a pot. They all stepped on their flying swords, left the flying boat, and rushed towards the spatial distortion below.

Xu Shan didn't act rashly. He carefully observed. Influenced by the science fiction movies in his previous life, he always felt that entering such a place would turn him into pieces.

Whenever someone entered it, their figure would ripple like water waves, and the next second, they would disappear. It looked quite magical.

Xu Shan mentally prepared himself, followed behind someone, and resolutely rushed in.

As soon as he entered, it was as if he had entered glue. The surrounding air was extremely viscous, and an invisible pressure came over him. His originally high-speed state of flying with the sword was suddenly interrupted, and he seemed to stop in mid-air.

However, this feeling didn't last long. In just the blink of an eye, it became wide open. His speed suddenly increased again! With the sudden change from slow to fast, Xu Shan plunged towards the ground. Fortunately, he reacted at the last moment, jumped off the flying sword, and rolled on the ground to relieve the force.....

In a thick patch of grass, Xu Shan looked up at the sky. It was amazing... Just now, he was clearly by the sea, but after passing through a distorted space, he had arrived in another world. This experience was truly wonderful... Something he couldn't have experienced even if he had money in his previous life.

"Junior Brother, this is such a coincidence!" A familiar voice sounded. Xu Shan suddenly turned around and summoned his flying sword.

Before he knew it, Lu Xiangjun had walked over. Xu Shan relaxed a bit and looked at Lu Xiangjun, reminding him, "Senior Brother, we'd better separate. You're not safe with me."

"Uh... That's true. But leaving you alone, isn't that too unrighteous of me?" Lu Xiangjun said hesitantly.

"There's no need for that. You don't have to be polite with me." As Xu Shan spoke, he began to observe the surrounding environment.

The teleportation was really random, which meant that there might very well be people from other sects around. He wasn't afraid of a direct confrontation, but if he was sneak attacked and died before he could use his items, that would really be a disaster.

"Actually... I'm not afraid of death, but with so many people coming for you, Senior Brother really feels that I can't hold up against them. Forget it, I'll accompany you through thick and thin. If I can't hold up, I can still run away..." Lu Xiangjun kept chattering. Xu Shan walked up to him. "I can handle it alone. You... Why is your face red?"

Lu Xiangjun touched his cheek, looked down, and when he looked up again, he had an embarrassed expression.

"It's kind of embarrassing to say, but I don't know why, but I seem to have an erection. Hey, Junior Brother, you too..."

"We've been tricked!" Xu Shan roared. Lu Xiangjun immediately reacted. The two held their flying swords and faced back to back.

They kept turning around, scanning the surrounding environment. In the thick grass that was half a person high, an enemy was hiding somewhere.

Xu Shan felt a sharp pain, and couldn't help but curse, "Damn it! Which sect is so despicable?"

The trigger range of the towel was probably more than two meters, and the other party had to see his sleeve. Now the other party must be more than two meters away, and he couldn't even call out.

"It must be the Huoxin Sect. We've been drugged."

Just as he was speaking, Lu Xiangjun's face became redder and redder, and his breathing became much heavier. Gradually, his vision also began to blur...

"Junior Sister Tingting..."

"Your sister! Pull yourself together!" Xu Shan cursed. The tip of his tongue, which he had bitten through, had oozed a lot of blood, but his mind was also filled with all sorts of wild thoughts. One moment, Ye Qingbi was struggling in the washing machine, and the next moment, Qi Lingshuang was wearing a secretary's outfit and black-rimmed glasses, dancing on a pole...

Not far away, a petite figure was crouching in the grass. She was holding a handful of spiritual powder that glowed faintly in her hand, and with a sweet smile, she kept blowing it gently in small puffs.

The spiritual powder scattered in the air and became invisible, floating towards Xu Shan and Lu Xiangjun. Seeing Lu Xiangjun's flying sword fall to the ground and Xu Shan swaying, Lin Yue's smile grew wider.

As expected of the person chosen by the Immortality Seeking Platform, his willpower was much stronger than his senior brother's. She was really lucky to have run into him as soon as she entered. Now it was almost time to take action. She would start with that senior brother first.

Thinking of this, Lin Yue stood up and walked towards Lu Xiangjun with a charming smile. When she got close, she called softly, "Senior Brother."

"Junior Sister Tingting!" Lu Xiangjun's eyes lit up when he saw her, and he walked slowly towards her.

...

"Oh... Sect Master Ye, it seems that the disciples of your sect are not very lucky. They just arrived and ran into our Huoxin Sect. There are no rules in the competition, so if there's any accident, I hope Sect Master Ye won't take offense." Chen Lian, the Sect Master of the Huoxin Sect, looked at Ye Qingbi with a hint of a smile and provocation on her face.
