The instant the water rippled, Zhou Qing's eyes grew dim. Soon after, another world appeared before him.

This small world was completely different from the Ten Thousand Devil Cave. It was filled with spirit energy, making people feel extremely comfortable.

The mountain range stretched as far as the eye could see. Directly in front of them was a lush and verdant forest that connected with the sky and gave off an emerald hue.

This was the Xumi Temple!

Not far away, there was a clamor. Zhou Qing turned his head to look. The few dozen disciples that came earlier were all gathered there, and were curiously looking around at this strange world.

Standing in front of the crowd was an elderly man who did not need to close his eyes. He was the elder of the Mysterious Sky Sect who was in charge of supporting them.

Seeing Zhou Qing walk in, everyone's gaze also focused on him.

Jealousy, greed, disdain, fear … There were dozens of pairs of eyes looking at him, full of meaning.

"Brother Song, come here!"

Yuwen Jie was also in the crowd and waved his hand.

Zhou Qing's expression was calm as he completely ignored them. He walked up to Zhou Qing's side.

"Brother Song, I'm afraid you are in big trouble …" "Why don't you come with me? They wouldn't dare to touch you."

Yuwen Jie's eyes slightly moved. He glanced at his surroundings and then said in a low voice with a somewhat serious expression.

"It's fine."

Zhou Qing shook his head, a sneer on his face.

In fact, he was currently very poor. Other than some Soul Concentrating Pills that he needed for cultivation and the Spirit Grasses he had gathered in the Ten Thousand Devil Cave, he could be said to be completely poor.

On the contrary, these immortal disciples were representing their sects to participate in the competition. They would definitely have a lot of good things on them, and each one of them would be extremely rich.

In the eyes of these people, Zhou Qing was a huge treasure trove.

Little did he know that in Zhou Qing's eyes, they were just walking money trees!

If there really was such an ignorant "money tree" that voluntarily delivered it to his doorstep, Zhou Qing wouldn't mind having a few more treasures …

Seeing the meaningful sneer on Zhou Qing's face, Yuwen Jie was startled for a moment. Then, he quickly guessed what Zhou Qing was thinking. A surprised look flashed through his eyes.

"It's too similar, too similar …"

He murmured in his heart.

Half an incense stick of time later, the last of the Immortal Gate disciples entered the Sumeru Realm. All participants had arrived.

At the same time, the old man suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the crowd.

"In eight days, the Sumeru Realm will open once more."

"In this period of time, your mission is to cross the entire spatial realm, arrive at the end, and then use all your strength to climb the stone stairs."

The old man's voice was indifferent as his gaze swept across everyone.

"Remember, your goal in entering the Xumi Domain is to compete, not to fight. This old man wishes you all to remember the rules of this competition and not to have unnecessary battles."

There was no need for the old man to stop talking as he flew towards the barrier wall.

Silence.

The instant the light lit up, the barrier rippled.

In the void, the old man's figure gradually faded until he completely disappeared.

The tense atmosphere quietly spread out the moment he disappeared.

Swish!

Suddenly, the sound of a blade piercing through the air rang out. A Coldblade Dock elite disciple with short hair suddenly revealed a hideous expression on his face as the curved blade in his hand suddenly slashed out.

Pfft.

Without any warning, he chopped off a female cultivator's right arm!

This Cold Knife Dock elite disciple's movements were extremely fast. He grabbed the severed arm in one go, and after taking off his storage ring, he unhesitatingly rushed out, flying towards the Savage Green Forest in front of him!

"Zhao Xing!"

Fresh blood splattered everywhere. The female cultivator clutched at her severed arm, her miserable shrieks making one's scalp tingle.

This sudden and bloody scene stunned many of the Immortal Gate disciples present, but they quickly reacted.

The cultivators that entered this Xumi World were all Heaven's Pride from their respective immortal sects, and they only had a few good things with them.

Zhao Xing was clearly a ruthless, savage person. He had realized this a long time ago, so he didn't need the old man to leave.

The rules of the competition had only mentioned that people's lives were not allowed in the Sumeru Realm. However, they hadn't said they couldn't steal treasures!

Moreover, when cultivators fought, it was normal for accidents to happen. Even if they killed someone and refused to admit it, what could those sects do?

Rules were only used to protect the weak. In the eyes of the strong, there were no rules!

The female cultivator's heart-wrenching screams were like that of evil ghosts, causing people to panic, but it also constantly evoked the evil thoughts that were lurking in the hearts of these Immortal Sect disciples.

Zhao Xing's move was like a spark igniting the prairie!

Boom!

The calmness was quickly broken as streams of violent auras rose up, instantly turning the place into a mess.

Many people followed Zhao Xing's example and took action against the defenseless people around them. They wanted to seize this opportunity to gain some benefits.

There were also many people who had formed a group beforehand. At this moment, three to five people were gathered together, forming a small group that fought against the others.

However, those people from the four great families did not dare to provoke them.

"I'll see you at the stone stairs."

Zhou Qing glanced over the chaos and casually said a few words. Without waiting for Yuwen Jie's reply, he stomped his foot and rushed towards Gu Lin.

As he watched Zhou Qing's rapidly disappearing figure, Yuwen Jie wanted to say something, but he hesitated. After a moment, he shook his head and also rushed forward.

At the same time, high up in the skies of the Xumi Temple.

The old man who did not need to step on the air to hide himself in the clouds had another skinny old man standing beside him.

The old man didn't need to lower his head to look at the chaos below his feet. His face was ashen, and fury appeared in his eyes.

"Di Feng, my guess is correct, right? These little fellows will definitely not be able to resist the temptation! "

The shriveled old man had a sneer on his face as he spoke in a low voice.

"Remnant Talisman, shut up!"

"These people are all potential seeds of mages. Losing even one of them is a loss, how can we allow them to fight?"

There was no need for the elder Di Feng to speak in a deep voice. He clenched his hand slightly, intending to intervene.

"What dogshit seed of potential?" True experts were born from slaughter. These little fellows, without experiencing a baptism of blood, what was the use of them becoming mages? In my opinion, chaos, the more chaotic the better! "

The remaining talisman sneered again, but the words it said caused Di Feng to be stunned.

After a long period of silence, Di Feng finally let out a sigh. The mana fluctuations that he had condensed also gradually dissipated.

"Whatever, let them be …"

A lush forest with ancient trees that reached into the skies.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound from the trees, and then three figures rushed out.

All three of them had wounds that could be light or severe. Blood dripped from their wounds, and they looked to be in a sorry state.

"Huang Cang, leave behind your storage rings and I'll spare your lives!"

Behind the three of them, four disciples wearing different attire followed closely. The leader was a short-haired man with a curved blade and a ruthless aura. He was the first Cold Knife Dock disciple to make trouble at the starting point, Zhao Xing!

Upon hearing this, the faces of the three people who were frantically fleeing turned even paler, and their eyes were filled with despair.

"Still not stopping?"

Ruthlessness appeared in Zhao Xing's eyes as he suddenly slashed out in the next second!

Boom!

A blood-red-colored blade-light, several meters long, instantly took shape as a burst of spiritual energy tore through the air.

Along with a pfft sound, one of the three people in front, a burly man, screamed miserably and fell to the ground. His back was torn open with a terrifying huge wound.

"I'll give it to you!"

The burly man's facial features were twisted by the pain. He didn't dare to hesitate any longer, taking off his storage ring and throwing it directly to Zhao Xing.

His two companions had deathly pale expressions. Even though they were filled with unwillingness, they could only obediently throw away their storage rings.

"F * ck off."

It was only now that Zhao Xing finally let out a cold shout and stopped his pursuit.

The three of them didn't dare to stay any longer. They stood up and quickly left.

Picking up the three storage rings, the sneer on Zhao Xing's face grew brighter and brighter. The three companions behind him looked at each other, their faces full of joy.

Killing people and setting fire to the gold belt were always the fastest way to amass wealth.

Just as the four of them were about to split up the loot, Zhao Xing's movements paused slightly. He suddenly lifted his head and spread out his massive Spiritual Sense behind him.

A moment later, he retracted his Spiritual Sense, and ecstasy filled his eyes. "The real money tree is here!"

"You're saying …"

"Song Changqing!"

Zhao Xing then put away his storage ring, stuck out his scarlet tongue and licked his lips, "For this guy to get the favor of a real person, the treasures in his hands must be quite a lot … This time, we really are going to make a fortune! "

"Go, don't let that kid take a detour!"

Zhao Xing no longer hesitated. He called out to Qin Lie, turned around, and rushed out. The other three people followed behind him in a hurry.

At the same time, in the forest five hundred meters away.

Zhou Qing slowed down his pace. The golden soul pill in his mind rotated, and the Spiritual Sense that covered it quickly withdrew like a tide.

Feeling the four auras that were rapidly approaching him, the corners of his mouth curled up into a sneer.

'Money tree... They've come themselves! "

While he was pondering, the four figures in front of him had already gotten closer and closer. Zhou Qing decided to stop and not continue onward. He was waiting for them to arrive.

"Swish, swish."

After a short while, a faint sound of wind breaking could be heard. Zhao Xing walked out from the forest not far from Zhou Qing with a sneer on his face as he carried a curved saber in his hand.

At the same time, the other three followed from the left, right, and rear. The other three also had magical artifacts in their hands as they closed in.

Zhou Qing's expression was calm as his gaze swept across the four of them.

To be honest, he was somewhat disappointed.

Of these four cultivators, besides an elite from the Cold Knife Dock, the other three sects were all ranked below 50 and were too poor.

When Zhao Xing saw Zhou Qing standing there in a daze with a frightened look on his face, a hint of despise immediately emerged on his face.

He originally thought that this fellow being favored by Sang Heng might indeed have some special features. But now, it seemed to be around the same as the three trash from before.

"Song Zhangqing, hand …"

Zhao Xing sneered as he gently wiped the scimitar with his palm. Just as he opened his mouth to speak, he was immediately interrupted by Zhou Qing.

"Hand over the storage ring, and I'll let you go."

The faces of Zhao Xing and the others froze as they stared at Zhou Qing in disbelief.

"What did you say?"

Zhao Xing was stunned. For a moment, his brain couldn't wrap its head around it as he suspected that he was hearing things.

Was this fellow robbing the four of them?

"What are you blanking out for? "Don't force me to make a move."

Zhou Qing frowned and continued.

This time, Zhao Xing heard everything clearly and confirmed that he hadn't misheard.

The guy in front of them was indeed trying to rob them!
