A team of logistics personnel hurried onto the scene, without saying a word, they first fed Zhurong a detox pill, then threw the unconscious Zhurong onto a stretcher and quickly carried him away.

Tudi Gong did not return to the audience immediately. He stayed in place, looking at the Taiyi Gate venue, holding a cigar, and loudly said, "Are you kidding me, Dai Lou? You were reminded outside the venue yesterday, and today you're reporting it. If the Taiyi Gate can't handle losing, then don't participate in the arena competition. Just play separately like last year." The old man waved his hand disdainfully, "Pack up!"

No one expected that he would suddenly start a confrontation in this situation and mock the Taiyi Gate in front of the elders.

The scene was briefly quiet for a few seconds, and then the noise suddenly rose like dust.

The official practitioners of the Five Elements Alliance were already dissatisfied with this morning's events, and now they saw Tudi Gong, who was ranked second, taking the lead in charging, and immediately joined in the heckling. "If you have no ulterior motives, you can privately report to the senior members of our Five Elements Alliance. Instead of posting and accusing publicly, you just want to target Yuanshi Tianzun." "If you can't handle losing, then you can't handle losing. These night wanderers are all too arrogant and ended up losing, hetui~"

"We haven't investigated the reminder outside the venue yet, but they're already biting first. Are they stupid? Our Yuanshi Tianzun has done nothing wrong." "It's probably jealousy of Yuanshi Tianzun, that's why you, Elder Sun, are confused. Oh, why are you covering your mouth?"

"Stop talking nonsense, don't involve the elders. Sit across from me, and you're asking for trouble."

The commotion was quickly suppressed, and the armored swordsman shouted, "Silence!"

The throats of all the practitioners in the audience were choked by an invisible force, and they collectively fell silent, and the scene became quiet.

The night wanderers of the Taiyi Gate had a gloomy expression, even the saints, and their expressions were not very good.

In fact, there was nothing wrong with reporting Yuanshi Tianzun. What's wrong with jealousy? What's wrong with envy? What's wrong with reporting personal grievances? In this world, which reporter doesn't report because of these reasons?

Is it to be a partner of justice?

Yuanshi Tianzun should be reported for manipulating the infant spirits as servants.

It's just that Yuanshi Tianzun didn't have any flaws, and the Taiyi Gate's night wanderers were few in number and couldn't argue back, so they had to endure the frustration.

When the ban on speaking ended after a dozen seconds, Sun Miaomiao, with a pair of big round eyes, quietly got up and sat next to Yuan Ting, whispering, "Who reported Yuanshi Tianzun?"

Yuan Ting quickly shook his head, "I don't know, I promised not to say."

Sun Miaomiao said, "Oh," and got up to leave.

"Hey, don't go," Yuan Ting quickly grabbed her, showing a look of intense struggle, and finally lowered his voice, "It's a senior of the Maoshan Warlock. I only told you, don't spread it around."

Sun Miaomiao showed an expression of "I knew it," she had already guessed, but dared not confirm. Now with Yuan Ting's endorsement, it was almost certain.

The Taiyi Gate had a gossip seller like Yuan Ting. It's great. He answers all questions and doesn't even have to spend money.

Sun Miaomiao patted Yuan Ting's back and said seriously, "I won't say anything. I will protect you."

Not far away, Zhang Yuanqing, with a look of surprise on his face, looked at the bright and noble queen and said softly, "What's wrong with this old man? His personality is not like that of an earthling, but more like a fire master. So tough?"

In his impression, the earthlings were all honest and reliable. The queen also lowered her voice and whispered to him, "When the old earthling was young, he played rock music and was also good at fighting. He liked to swing his guitar and fight people on the street. He probably couldn't stand the Taiyi Gate's reporting behavior, so he stood up for you." "This temper is wasted if he's not a fire master," Zhang Yuanqing said.

"Every profession has its oddities," the queen said, touching her large silver earrings, with a charming smile.

At this time, the River Crossing Pawn and the Handsome Brother Lover appeared, and the two of them stopped communicating tacitly and looked towards the venue.

The River Crossing Pawn was a young man with short hair, a tall figure, wearing camouflage military pants, and a vine armor on his upper body. His whole demeanor was like a well-trained special forces soldier, or an old soldier who had been through many battles in ancient times.

The "Handsome Brother Lover" was a young lady in her prime, wearing denim shorts, a lightweight short-sleeved shirt with a lace-trimmed neckline, and a black camisole peeking out.

Neatly dressed, with a hot figure.

Her features were not bad, after all, in this day and age, as long as the foundation is okay, after makeup and semi-permanent Korean-style, anyone can become a beautiful person.

The outcome of this battle was not in doubt. The River Crossing Pawn won with overwhelming advantage against the "Handsome Brother Lover," who was a wood demon. In theory, she was good at climbing and had immense strength, second only to the fire master in close combat. But she was defeated, and the battle was resolved in two minutes.

The female wood demon struggled a bit, but was shot in the shoulder by the River Crossing Pawn and conceded with a mournful face. "Very strong."

Zhang Yuanqing watched the River Crossing Pawn in the middle of the field, and the battle scene quickly flashed through his mind.

After the battle began, the River Crossing Pawn first compressed the "Handsome Brother Lover's" space with a pistol, then launched a close-range attack with a short knife, using a dense and violent offensive to force the female wood demon to retreat and try to create distance.

But this played right into the River Crossing Pawn's hands, and he took down his opponent with a single shot. The process was very simple. There were no reversals or miraculous maneuvers, but in just these two short minutes, Zhang Yuanqing watched with bated breath. In the first step, using a pistol to suppress the wood demon's space, it was worth noting that the wood demon had a skill called Climber, known for its flexibility and balance, and could climb walls over ten meters high as if they were flat ground.

Using a single-shot pistol to suppress the wood demon was quite extraordinary.

Zhang Yuanqing didn't understand at first, but when the second step of close combat came, he discovered the clues. Normal insight could predict the enemy's trajectory and moves, and when the enemy made a move, the scout could predict it in advance.Anticipating the enemy's next move is the essence of insight. But this guy, Over-River Pawn, can anticipate two steps, no, at least two steps. Once a bullet is fired, it turns "liking handsome guys" into a headless fly, wanting to go left and right, but feeling that no matter which way it goes, it will be attacked.

He can only rely on a single-shot pistol to suppress the agile Wood Demon. In close combat, Over-River Pawn is very strong, not in terms of exquisite fighting techniques, but in his ability to attack the enemy's vital points in the simplest and most efficient way.

There is a fierce and ruthless iron-bloodedness in his punches and kicks, pursuing the highest efficiency in killing the enemy at the smallest cost.

This is a different path from Guan Ya, who hones her fighting skills.

"Guan Ya, who do you think is stronger, you or him? I mean in terms of combat," Zhang Yuanqing asked.

"No need to emphasize it so much, you're underestimating me," Guan Ya said, half-annoyed and half-amused. "If it's a sparring match, I'm 60-40 against him, but if it's a fight to the death, it's 40-60. I'm talking about single-handed combat." It's not without reason that he ranks in the top ten, Zhang Yuanqing thought to himself.

In his mind, Guan Ya is the ceiling of the combat world. He feels that his combat skills have reached a high level, but he has no chance against Old Siji.

Guan Ya said, "However, this guy is a specialist in a certain ability and is relatively easy to counter! Over-River Pawn is a member of the White Tiger Army. Do you know his nickname?" "What is it?"

"In the White Tiger Army, he is known as Little Qingyang."

"I hope there will be a talented Night Wanderer in the future, known as Little Yuanshi, or Little Tiantun."

At four o'clock in the morning, the velvety yellow light elongated Zhang Yuanqing's shadow. The coffee shop across the street from Kangyang District was brightly lit, with the door open. Zhang Yuanqing, wearing a mask and a duckbill cap, walked into the coffee shop with his hands in his pockets.

With a glance under the brim of his hat, he looked at the graceful and elegant Master of the Stop-Killing Palace, who was brewing coffee behind the counter.

She was still wearing a beautiful Song Dynasty-style long skirt, as red as fire. The difference was that the mask the Master was wearing today no longer covered her entire face, but only half of it, revealing her lips. "You can sit first, the coffee will be ready in a moment," she said, bowing her head.

Is she wearing a different mask to avoid the lesson of not getting coffee last time? Zhang Yuanqing sat down casually and watched her make coffee in silence.

Under the soft light, her hair shimmered with a beautiful luster, so good that it made people want to touch it to feel it.

Her lips were a standard cherry mouth, delicate and lovely, with a glossy texture that attracted men to kiss. Her cheekbones had a smooth line, a standard oval face.

Just as I thought, the Master of the Stop-Killing Palace is indeed a great beauty, Zhang Yuanqing thought sincerely.

Zhang Yuanqing had seen many high-quality women, and based on his own perception, he classified beauties into three categories: the first type: "Oh, the girl looks good." The second type: "This girl makes me want to fall in love, to get close to her." The third type: "All the objects of my spring dreams are you."

The Master of the Stop-Killing Palace, with her half-revealed beauty, easily fell into the second category.

Amidst his contemplation, the Master of the Stop-Killing Palace came over with two cups of coffee, her long skirt trailing elegantly.

She set down the coffee, propped her elbows on the table, her hands supporting her chin, like a playful girlfriend, her eyes softly gazing at her boyfriend, and said with a smile, "You finally thought to contact me. You haven't looked for me in a long time, do you have a new love?"

Zhang Yuanqing took a sip of coffee, his face tense, and said, "Elder Dog asked me to pass on a message."

The Master of the Stop-Killing Palace picked up a small spoon and gently bent it, smiling with narrowed eyes, "You have a chance to rephrase your words."

Zhang Yuanqing said seriously, "Not seeing you for a day is like three autumns, I miss the Palace Master very much. Elder Dog asked me to bring you a message, and I couldn't wait to invite the Palace Master out for coffee." The Master of the Stop-Killing Palace laughed heartily, her laughter shaking like a flower branch. "You're really interesting, really interesting, hahaha... I was wrong, I actually thought a lunatic was very beautiful and suitable for dating. I'm still too young." Zhang Yuanqing forced himself to smile and said, "As long as the Palace Master is happy." After she finished laughing, she picked up the small spoon from Zhang Yuanqing's coffee and lightly stirred her own coffee, saying, "What did that dog want you to tell me?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that she would continue to pester him. He said seriously, "In the next three days, the final matches will proceed in an orderly manner. After five days of competition, the top sixteen have finally been determined.

Except for the Taoist Sorcerer of Maoshan, who was eliminated in the first round by the Tiantun, the list of the top sixteen is almost identical to the list of the top twenty established by the scholars. It can be seen that the level of these scholars is still very high.

On the morning of the sixth day, Zhang Yuanqing opened the forum on time to check the list of the final matches.

Today, the top eight will compete, and the venue will no longer be the arena, but will be randomly selected from the Five Elements Alliance and the Taiyi Sect's faction dungeons.

In terms of viewing and excitement, it is far beyond what the arena matches can compare to.

Logging into the forum, the top post in red was the #Top Sixteen Match List#: Yangtze River Breaking Waves VS Land God; Jiang Jingwei VS Zhao Chenghuang; Sun Miaomiao VS Golden Armor; Unfinished Love Between Man and Ghost VS Tone-Deaf; Over-River Pawn VS Tiantun; Eternal God King VS Qing Songzi; Women Are Tigers VS Yuan Ting; Violation of Rules VS Long Live the White Tiger. PS: Typo first, then change.

"Elder Dog said that before the Chu family was wiped out, the Dark Night Rose had no leader. He wants to hear your opinion."

The smile in the Master of the Stop-Killing Palace's eyes slowly faded, her gaze became calm, and her aura became serious. When she wasn't acting crazy, she exuded an indescribable nobility.

"Elder Dog thinks that the leader of the Dark Night Rose is related to my Chu family, and even that it is someone from my Chu family?" she asked thoughtfully. Zhang Yuanqing said, "Perhaps, what does the Palace Master think?""I was too young at the time, just beginning to form memories. My recollections of that chaos are vague, and it was precisely because of my youth that I escaped disaster, fleeing with my clan to Songhai," she said, her gaze slightly focused, lost in thought. Zhang Yuanqing figured that beneath the mask, her brows must be tightly furrowed.

"Did your people ever mention anything about this? If the Night Rose was from the Chu family, then this person must hold a grudge against them. Your people should have realized that," he said.

The palace master shook her head, seemingly reluctant to delve deeper, and replied dismissively, "Don't ask anymore. Tell Elder Gou that if there's any progress on this matter, I hope he will inform me. The palace master will be most grateful."

It was clear that she was deeply obsessed with the Chu family's annihilation from years ago.

Unfortunately, I'm unable to help with such high-level incidents, Zhang Yuanqing thought regretfully.

"You performed well in the arena competition, making the top three shouldn't be a problem, but winning the championship might be a stretch," the palace master commented, sipping her bitter coffee.

Zhang Yuanqing sighed.

The reason it's called a foundation is that it's built up over time. He was a strong contender in the top ten, but he didn't have much confidence against the top three.

"Even so, I still have high hopes for you. You're the kind of player who only unleashes their potential in adversity, growing stronger with each setback. Yuan Shi Tianzun, I'm rooting for you."

Her voice was as gentle as a mother's whisper, as tender as a lover's confession, stirring a wave of emotion in Zhang Yuanqing, giving him an inexplicable sense of "I am filled with power" and "I really want to marry this woman."

The next second, the palace master giggled, "Did you really believe that? You're so amusing."

He almost forgot that she was a musician, a musician's mouth, a deceptive spirit. Zhang Yuanqing's mouth twitched as he silently stood up, "If there's nothing else, I'll be going."

"She doesn't know?" Elder Gou furrowed his brows after hearing Fu Qingyang's phone call, "I understand."

The affairs of the Night Rose were currently under his jurisdiction, a secret organization that had reached into the level of stewards and into the spiritual families, a venomous snake hiding in the bedroom of the Five Elements Alliance. One careless move could result in a venomous bite.

The priority and importance of investigating the Night Rose were self-evident. "Then we have no choice but to take Yuan Shi Tianzun to meet the Demon Eye."
