Chapter 2316 - 2319: Exorcising Demons in the Eastern Wilderness

The demon-slaying tournament will take place at the Eastern Wilderness Mansion.

The Elder of the Eastern Wilderness Immortal Sect presides, merely rebuking the monsters of the Eastern Wilderness in the name of justice, then rallying the disciples of each Immortal Sect to slay them.

To ensure these monsters attract the interest and full effort of all the Immortal Sect disciples for slaying, the Eastern Wilderness Immortal Sect has shown sincerity, establishing a slaying leaderboard. All participating disciples will receive a reward of one hundred thousand high-grade Spirit Stones, and the top ten on the slaying leaderboard will receive from one million to ten million high-grade Spirit Stones in ascending order.

This serves as motivation; the top three on the slaying leaderboard will also receive Magic Artifact rewards from the Eastern Wilderness Immortal Sect.

These prizes, to the Elders, may seem trivial, but to some disciples, they are better than nothing.

Especially the top ten and top three on the slaying leaderboard; it's a badge of honor that can make people from the Seven Great Immortal Sects remember your glory.

The immortality cultivators in the Immortal Domain have a peculiar obsession, holding fame in utmost regard, particularly rankings on leaderboards.

After the first day of the demon-slaying tournament, the Seven Great Immortal Sects began forming teams.

To increase competition among the various Immortal Sects, every sect must split up, sending forth one person to form a team, with each team consisting of seven people.

Thus, there are a total of seven teams.

Upon hearing this arrangement, Qin Tian's immediate reaction was that with such a split, if someone were to act against Su Ziyin, he wouldn't be able to help.

Perhaps, this decision by the Eastern Wilderness Immortal Sect was something Xuanyuan Shenyue hadn't anticipated earlier.

The final grouping even shocked Qin Tian; he ended up grouped with Yan Lingshuang, in the first team.

While Tang Zhanyun was in the second team, Su Ziyin was in the third team.

"Since I can't protect Su Ziyin, there's nothing I can do."

Thinking of Su Ziyin possibly being in danger, Qin Tian, during the grouping to the monster gathering area, still transmitted True Qi to inform Su Ziyin: "Third Senior Sister, when I left, I heard someone intends to target you, be cautious."

One sentence startled Su Ziyin, and as her gaze looked astonished towards Qin Tian, Qin Tian nodded at her, then bid farewell to Elder Gao, heading with the group towards the Demon Clan gathering area.

…

"Sister Yan, do you have any plans for our demon-slaying route this time? I'll follow your lead."

"Sister Yan, I have a Seven-colored Pearl here, a priceless treasure, haha. It's of no use to me, so I'm giving it to you."

"Sister Yan, do you remember me from the last time at the Qiankun Immortal Sect? I am Xia Yuhe from Xia Yuhe by the Great Ming Lake."

While flying as a team, all the male disciples of the various Immortal Sects one by one flattered Yan Lingshuang.

A total of seven people in their team, besides Yan Lingshuang, another female disciple, and the rest five were male disciples.

The four male disciples came across as though they had never seen a beautiful woman, becoming utterly like Yan Lingshuang's entourage, making Qin Tian quite speechless.

Logically, these people, given their status, shouldn't be like this.

It can only be said that Yan Lingshuang's charm is truly extraordinary, unmatched by other women.

Among the seven, the leader is Senior Brother Xia Yuhe of the Qiankun Immortal Sect.

He kept flattering Yan Lingshuang; he wanted Yan Lingshuang to decide the route and arrangements, making both Qin Tian and Yan Lingshuang speechless.

Until Yan Lingshuang said to Xia Yuhe, "The men I most look down upon are those without responsibility or sense of discretion."

Upon hearing this, Xia Yuhe immediately stiffened, stood tall, and said, "I also look down on such men, haha. Sister Yan, I am not one of them; I respect your opinion. Since you don't have an opinion, let me share mine…"

"I have already obtained a map of the million square kilometers from the Eastern Wilderness area. I think the Black Abyss over there might yield some gains, let's head over there."

"After all, we are the first team, possessing the strongest power, we must out-slay other teams accordingly. The Elder Council composed of elders from various Immortal Sects will arrive in ten days, and a month later, they will calculate the slaying leaderboard. Therefore, we have only a month, we must fight swiftly and decisively to solve the chaos-making monsters!"

At this moment, Xia Yuhe regained a hint of normalcy, leading everyone towards the Black Abyss.

The Black Abyss is a valley shrouded in mist, fog lingering year-round, appearing with a grayish-black hue, giving an air of mystery and fear.

Seven people arrived at the mouth of the Black Abyss valley, voices of strange wailing faintly heard, the previously casual expressions of everyone immediately stiffened.

"These monsters, needing our Seven Great Immortal Sects to deal with, shouldn't be weak, everyone be cautious," Xia Yuhe said.

"Haha, I feel it's merely a bluff; let's see within a month how many we can slay. Our Divine Sword Immortal Sect excels in demon-slaying Kung Fu, not saying first on the leaderboard, but the top three shouldn't slip away," said a disciple from the Divine Sword Immortal Sect arrogantly.

"Haha, Senior Brother Chu, your Divine Sword Immortal Sect can get into the top three, then our Eastern Wilderness Immortal Sect is surely in the top two. As the host, our disciples of the Eastern Wilderness Immortal Sect are more familiar with this place than you all; it might be difficult for you to surpass my slaying count," declared a disciple from the Eastern Wilderness Immortal Sect boldly.

Thereafter, the other sect disciples likewise refused to back down.

Like Qin Tian, when they set out in teams, the elders repeatedly emphasized maintaining sect dignity and pressing others of the Immortal Sects down, hence, everyone's gaze bore a hint of arrogance.

"Stop arguing, I will definitely be first."

Finally, Xia Yuhe interrupted the quarrels, concluding, which made Qin Tian feel exasperatedly amused.

At this moment, Yan Lingshuang simply said, "Instead of boasting here, why not go inside and rely on true skill."

"Right, right, Sister Yan is right, I was just thinking the same…"

Xia Yuhe immediately agreed, saying, "Sister Yan, how about we cooperate together?"

"No need, I prefer tackling things solo."

Faced with Xia Yuhe's frequent attempts to impress, Yan Lingshuang seemed somewhat repulsed, and upon finishing her sentence, flew directly into the Black Abyss.

"Then everyone go inside. Once inside, take care of yourselves, don't lose your life, or it would be humiliating!"

Seeing Yan Lingshuang fly straight into the Black Abyss disregarding him, Xia Yuhe's expression turned sour, finishing his sentence and following suit.

Seven silhouettes entered the Black Abyss. A place already filled with strange wailing sounds, upon being intruded by strangers, produced terrifying roars like wrathful ghosts rising from graves, making people's hearts shake with fear.

Fearing mutual competition for slay counts, the disciples of the various Immortal Sects opted for an independent pursuit; after Qin Tian entered the Black Abyss, he detached from the main group, choosing the southeast direction, heading deeper within.
