At the foot of the mountain, other than a waiting area that could accommodate over a hundred of thousands of people, there was also a tall wall that surrounded the mountain. However, after twenty years, the high wall was filled with pitch, and some parts of the wall were even destroyed by Demon Beast, making it unable to be considered as a solid barrier.

Outside, there was a stone platform that was over twenty meters tall and fifty meters wide. Every stone platform was decorated with rows and layers of stone seats, a total of a hundred of them.

But once they reached the hunting grounds, these stone platforms would be filled with the members of the large families and descendants of the aristocratic families with Nine Xuan Empire. Usually, they would spread to the ends of one's vision and the shouts and roars of the crowd would rise and fall like a tide.

After the Emperor led the hundreds of officials and the four great duke palaces to solemnly sit at the peak of the Violet Martial Peak palace, everyone began to quiet down.

At the same time, the people from the four families started to communicate with each other and nodded from time to time. They were intentionally or unintentionally looking at the side of the Demon Suppressing King Palace, as if they were plotting something.

Xiahou Yuan's eyes lit up faintly, before he let out a cold snort. In his heart, he was secretly wary of the Emperor Xuan Yi and the four great patriarchs.

Aside from the tens of thousands of people on the stone platform, there were also many people gathered at the surrounding mountains, watching this grand scene from afar.

Qin Lie sat down on a stone platform, his eyes focused on his Warrior Beast Forest.

"Chu Lan, Qin Lie, and Ruoxi, remember, if you meet them during this hunt, try to avoid conflict. Although there were many young experts in the hunt this time, Xiahou was not very impatient. Qin Lie and the other two were only sixteen years old, and would be able to participate in two more Hunt Competition sessions in the future. This time, he mainly hoped that they could come and train. As for the ranking, that was a matter of the next hunt. Give them another five years, Myriad Profound Stage? Hmph hmph, at least it's Heavenly Completion Stage.

Of course, Xiahou Yuan wouldn't say these words to the trio because he didn't want to waste their fighting spirit.

"Yes." Xia Chu Lan, Qin Lie and Xia Ruoxi replied respectfully.

Then, Xiahou looked at Qin Lie and said, "Child, you are still too young. Do you think that by gaining some ability, you can look down on others? "

Qin Lie did not say anything, but he knew that he had the same idea.

"It's not as simple as you think, to be able to participate in the hunt." "You …"

Qin Lie lowered his head, "I'm sorry, foster father. I was wrong. "

Xiahou Chang sighed softly. "Forget it, how can we withdraw what we say?"

Then, Xia Hou took out three Ling Dan from one of them and gave them to Xia Chu Lan and the other two.

"These are the three [Rank 4] returning Ling Dan that I specially retrieved from the Spirit Hall. I hope it will be of help to your Hunt this time around." Xiahou Sheng muttered to himself.

The three of them nodded.

The scorching sun hung high in the sky, and at the foot of the mountain of the Violet Martial Peak, the pillars of various great families waited nervously. The surrounding Javelins stood in a line, making the place look extremely solemn and solemn.

As he gazed into the distance, he could faintly hear the faint sounds of various beasts' roars as ancient trees towered in the sky and the sea of trees rose and fell.

Just as Qin Lie was about to accept the Ling Dan and look around at his Warrior Beast Forest, he suddenly felt the atmosphere suddenly become warm. He followed Xuanyi's gaze and saw a man riding an azure flood dragon fly down from the clouds in the sky and land on top of the Purple Martial Peak.

"Roar!"

"Fourth stage Spirit Beast, Green Scaly Dragon!" The Lord of the Great Wastelands cried out in alarm.

This person was dressed in a scholar's robe, his eyes were shining like the stars, and a sharp Longsword hung from his waist. He walked over just like that, his body had a faint feeling of tranquility.

And as he walked over, a terrifying pressure covered the sky.

In front of him, the faces of the waiting lords of the four great dukes were ashen as they trembled all over.

None of them dared to move!

Even the disciples behind them were shocked. They could only tightly stare at the man without any thoughts of resisting.

The aura emitted by the man alone was enough to cause their souls to tremble, and they had to struggle to stand in front of him …

Qin Lie also looked at the white robed young man, her eyes filled with bewilderment, and in the end, deep admiration.

Because, Qin Lie felt that he was familiar with this air of justice, he himself had it too!

That pressure was none other than the Righteous Qi!

In this world, there were not only cultivators, there were also scholars. They were weak, but they were also capable against cultivators. Using their brush as a weapon, they released a vast and unrestrained righteous energy!

But compared to the white-robed cultivator in front of him, he was far inferior, comparable in power to Haoyue and Firefly.

One could see his Righteous Energy seeping out, engulfing the entire sky and the earth. It swept through the nine heavens and converged into a surging river that covered the sky as it moved along with the white-robed figure.

"Haha, Lingfeng, what wind is this that has brought you here?" Emperor Xuan Yi walked forward, his voice clear as he laughed, staring at Chen Changsheng with a deep look.

"Mu Lingfeng!" Qin Lie muttered to himself, his eyes filled with shock, this man, was actually the number one think tank of Nine Xuan Empire.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." Mu Lingfeng spoke indifferently as he gently waved the fan in his hand: "Ling Feng, for you to come here, I have no other reason but to follow Master's wishes and watch from the sidelines."

"Haha, good, good!" Emperor Xuan Yi frowned slightly as he secretly guessed Mu Lingfeng's intentions for coming here. On the surface, he was laughing heartily as he invited Mu Lingfeng to the banquet.

"Since Lingfeng is here, will Ye Qingfeng come?" Qin Lie muttered to himself. There was still some time until the start of the afternoon hunt, and during this period, there seemed to be others as well. And the first person that he thought of was the current Martial Arts Proclamation Ye Qingfeng.

"Go!"

After a while, a silver-winged horse galloped over from the distance. It was crimson all over and it gave off a oppressive feeling.

"Ye Qingfeng!"

Everyone looked at it and then slowly shifted their gaze onto the tall figure on the silver winged horse. He was clad in armor, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and there was a sense of steadiness in between his brows. With a single glance, one could tell that he was a handsome general.

"Ye Qingfeng has arrived!"

"Greetings Martial Arts Minister Yuan Lang!"

Ye Qingfeng dismounted and cupped his hands: "Greetings, Emperor!"

After the arrival of the two people, the powers in the entire dynasty had basically arrived. At this moment, it was also the time when the sun was high up in the sky.

At this time, the crowd's noise had also reached its highest point. Amidst waves of shouts, the Nine Profound Emperor's main disciple, Xuan Yi, stood up, straightened his body, and slowly walked to the center of the viewing platform. His deep eyes swept across the sea of people around him.

It was very obvious that everyone couldn't suppress the excitement in their hearts, because they knew that as long as their Sovereign Profound Yi finished his announcement, the hunt for the most eye-catching event in the Warrior Beast Forest would truly begin.

"Everyone, today is the busiest day of my Nine Xuan Empire, and the highly anticipated hunt competition is about to begin. Firstly, allow me to introduce the forces participating in today's hunt, first the Ancient Desolate Clan, then the Marquis of Grand Desolate, Xing Tian, and then the Heavenly Cauldron Sect …"

Following the usual pattern, Xuan Yi introduced the participating clans in order. The Marquis of Grand Desolate, the Marquis of Heavenly Cauldron, the Marquis of Fire Feather, the Marquis of Four Directions, and the Demon Suppressing King Palace, introduced the five Wealthy Class families first, then introduced the powerful and reputable families in Nine Xuan Empire. With this, half an incense stick of time passed.

"Now, this emperor declares the start of the hunt!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the audience roared and roared. Their momentum reached its peak as wave after wave of people continued to spread.

"Next, I don't need to talk about the rules of the hunt. Not the process, but the result, whoever obtains the most Demon Beast and beast cores will be number one, and this family can also obtain the ownership of this area!"

Under the infiltration of the spirit energy, the sound echoed like thunder throughout the entire Purple Martial Peak, and everyone could clearly hear it.

"After you give the order, the selected disciples will enter the Warrior Beast Forest and participate in the hunt! "Let's begin!" Emperor Xuan Yi spoke to a courteous minister.

Hearing this, the elder on the left stood up. This person had a straight nose, a square mouth, and a handsome face. His broad shoulders gave off an extremely firm feeling as he sat there.

"Nine Xuan Empire participant, Xuanlingfeng, Xuan Spirit Intent, Xuan Mingyue!"

"The Great Desolate Sect is out, the middle tier is Gushe, the middle tier is dead, the middle tier is the chaotic cloud!"

"Four great Sects, four great Clans, four great Clans, four great Clans!"

"The Heavenly Cauldron Sect has arrived. Tianfeng Yu, Tianfeng Xing, Tianhuo Qi!"

"The Emberwing clansmen …"

"…"

In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the entrance of the Savage Forest, each and every one of them was extremely graceful, some were rubbing their fists while others were calm and collected. No matter what, this time, they did not represent only themselves, but also the family. As long as they could stand out among the crowd, no matter if it was their own name or their family's prestige, they would all reach the peak.

"Participant of Demon Suppressing King Palace, Xia Menglan, Xia Ruoxi, Qin Lie!"

"Be careful!" Xiahou Yuan sternly warned the trio. He had also noticed the dangers of the hunt. Anything could happen inside.

Qin Lie and the other two nodded, then followed the group of soldiers that led them to one of the entrances to the Warrior Beast Forest.

In the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the call was complete. Here, a hundred young men were in their own camps, standing together and taking up the not-so-wide entrance completely.

These people were here on behalf of their clans for the sake of winning the championship!

Xia Menglan did not say much between the two of them, but only glanced at Qin Lie and Xia Ruoxi, and the two of them understood each other, regardless of what grudge they had previously, they had to put it aside now, everything was for the Demon Suppressing King Palace!

Earlier, Xia Ruoxi and Qin Lie had a grudge. The former looked down on Qin Lie's identity as a servant, but at this moment, it was clear that it was not the time for small grudges.

Looking at the many figures around him, Qin Lie took a deep breath in as well. He stared at the dense forest with a profound gaze, and clenched his fists tightly.

Just as he was about to make his move, from not too far away, Princess Gushe and her two companions, as well as the Nine xuan three princes, slowly walked out.

Although it was only her lips, Qin Lie could still tell that what she had said was exactly what he had said before.

"Be careful, don't be eaten by Demon Beast."

Pausing for a moment, Qin Lie squinted his eyes, and continued to mutter to himself, then ignored the others.

"Qin Lie, what are you saying?" Xia Ruoxi asked suspiciously.

Qin Lie's eyes were cold, like a young god, displaying an unimaginable power. The battle was extremely intense, a terrifying energy rolled out from his body, it truly had the power to drown the heaven and earth, it was extremely terrifying, it was difficult to face it head on.

Standing opposite of him, Xia Ruoxi was also indescribably shocked in her heart. She had long guessed just how strong Qin Lie was. However, this sight left her completely shaken. This was an unprecedented level of power that had never been felt before.

Qin Lie looked at the Nine Xuan Empire and the disciples of the Four Great Marquis Manor, and suddenly said: "With so many of them, they should have collected a lot of things by then."

Xia Menglan paused slightly. Even with the veil, he was still unable to stop her astonishment.

The more people there were, the more likely it was that they would become hunters. It was difficult to say who would be the prey and who would be the hunters …

Seeing Qin Lie's arrogant expression, Princess Gushe could not help but reveal a dense killing intent.

And at this time, Xuan Yi also announced the start of the hunt.

"Since all the juniors are here, then …" "Let's begin."

As Xuan Yi announced the start of the hunt, the entire atmosphere of the Purple Martial Peak seemed to have been pushed to the very peak by an invisible force. In this environment, the waiting masters of the great dukes and large families were no longer as relaxed as they were in the past.

Many people's eyes were opened wide, staring at the hundred participants in front of the Warrior Beast Forest.

They knew that the exact location of this piece of Warrior Beast Forest would be determined by these juniors.

And after the emperor of Xuanyi announced this, long whistles rose one after another and the fighting strength of the participants instantly flared up. One after another, many participants rushed into the serene forest's Warrior Beast Forest.

There were strange rules in Warrior Beast Forest, which could suppress a cultivator's strength to the level of their Myriad Profound Stage. Therefore, no matter who it was, one could only display the strength of their Myriad Profound Stage.

"Let's go." Without waiting for Qin Lie and Xia Ruoxi's reply, she had already started striding towards the forest.

But her hand was held by the other.

"Shua!"

Xia Menglan's beautiful face instantly turned cold, revealing her killing intent. When had her hand ever been touched by a stranger?

Just as he turned around, a pair of eyes that was filled with light saw the shocked Qin Lie.
