“It’s actually a guy from the Ten Thousand Demons Valley.”

Looking at the bright words on the jade slip, Tong Shan frowned.

“Is this Ten Thousand Demons Valley very difficult to deal with?” Gu Xi asked with some doubt.

Although he did not know much about the first-rate forces in the Eastern Continent, he recalled the sects of the first-rate forces, but he did not find the name of the Ten Thousand Demons Valley.

Tong Shan nodded and explained in a deep voice, “Although the Ten Thousand Demons Valley isn’t among the first-rate forces, due to its special cultivation method, it’s sometimes even more difficult to deal with than some first-rate forces.”

“The Ten Thousand Demons Valley is famous for its Demon-controlling Technique. Although it sounds like they are controlling demons, it’s actually just enslaving the soul of a demon beast with a special method. The disciples of the Demon Valley have their own unique methods of controlling the soul. It’s also because of the uniqueness of the soul that they are very difficult to deal with in battle. If we are not careful, we might fall into their trap.”

Tang Conglin also spoke at this moment, but he was not speaking to Gu Xi, but to Qing Zhu.

“Controlling the soul of a demon beast…” Gu Xi was stunned. He did not know whether to laugh or cry.

This method was similar to the current relationship between him and Little Nine, right? It was just that the two were not controlling each other, and she was a complete divine beast, not just a mysterious existence like a soul.

“Miss Qing Zhu, are you confident in this battle?” Tang Conglin hesitated for a moment, then asked Qing Zhu carefully.

“It’s just a petty Demon Path trick,” Qing Zhu said lightly, then turned around and left with ease.

Everyone present was surprised by her answer. They could not help but freeze on the spot, while Gu Xi did not look surprised at all.

Although Gu Xi did not know exactly how strong Qing Zhu’s true strength was, he was clear that in the face of the absolute difference in strength, whatever bullsh*t soul technique would just be a joke.

“Tsk, you guys are indeed the same flock. All of you are just as stubborn.” Looking at Qing Zhu who was gradually disappearing into the distance, Hou Yu finally could not help but ridicule her.

“It seems that you are not convinced again.” Gu Xi shot a glance at Hou Yu, his voice tinged with coldness.

Hou Yu chuckled, but did not choose to reply. Instead, he pointed at the two big words on the jade slip, Zhou Nan. He said, “Zhou Nan is one of the Ten Thousand Demon Valley’s most outstanding talents in controlling the soul of a demon beast in the past hundred years. It is said that some time ago, with the assistance of the sect, he successfully enslaved the soul of a demon beast that had the strength of an early-stage Saint, and that beast was still alive. This guy even defeated several Heaven’s Favored Sons. Yet, you guys still say that its just a petty Demon Path trick. It is really laughable!”

Hearing this, Gu Xi only responded with an ‘Oh’, and did not do anything else.

To be able to enslave a demon beast soul of the early-stage Saint, perhaps in the eyes of others, this Zhou Nan was very difficult to deal with. However, in his eyes, it was just so-so.

“You…” Seeing Gu Xi’s disapproving look, Hou Yu gritted his teeth and glared fiercely at Gu Xi. He continued in a deep voice, “I hope that you won’t embarrass the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion in the qualifiers! Even if you lose… It’s best if you lose with a better look!”

Obviously, he did not think that Qing Zhu would be a match for Zhou Nan.

“Then how about we make a bet?” Gu Xi pointed at the ground beneath his feet, grinned, and continued, “If we win this battle, then you kneel down and kowtow to me. If we lose, I’ll kowtow to you.”

Hou Yu could not help but be stunned when he heard this. Clearly, he did not expect Gu Xi to actually propose such a bet. However, he quickly nodded and agreed.

In his opinion, for a woman to stand in the arena without shivering on stage was already an impressive performance. The chances of her winning could be said to be very slim.

Even if it was him against Zhou Nan, he might not be able to guarantee a 100% victory.

Seeing that Hou Yu agreed without any hesitation, Gu Xi revealed a smile of success. He did not say anything else and turned around to look at the many arenas below.

Below, dozens of arenas were filled with one-on-one contestants. Gu Xi glanced around but did not find any sign of Qing Zhu.

Clearly, Qing Zhu’s duel was not one of them.

Not long after, the duels on the arena officially began.

As waves of extraordinary fluctuations burst forth, the spiritual power in the entire arena appeared to be in different degrees of disorder and boiling. All kinds of fancy spiritual skills and strange-shaped spiritual weapons were displayed by the contestants one by one. The entire arena was filled with continuous booming sounds.

As the battle began, the atmosphere in the arena was also raised to the peak. The audience in the viewing gallery shouted the names of the sects they supported and cheered for them. It was extremely lively.

Gu Xi’s gaze continuously swept over the arena. Soon, it paused on a certain arena.

On the arena, an intense battle was being carried out in full swing.

The two figures shuttled back and forth, but within a split second, they had already exchanged a few rounds. Soon after, one of the figures was pushed back and almost fell off the arena.

It was a man dressed in yellow clothes. At this moment, his clothes were somewhat messy, and there was even a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. His chest was rising and falling violently. It was obvious that he had suffered some injuries during the exchange just now.

However, the person who attracted Gu Xi’s attention was not the yellow-clothed man, but this person’s opponent. It was Zhan Hong.

Compared to the yellow-clothed man’s disheveled state, Zhan Hong still looked as calm as ever. However, the killing intent between his brows seemed to be a little out of place.

“Give up, perhaps you can still keep your life.” Zhan Hong still held that short dagger in his hand. When facing his opponent, he could not even be bothered to take out his spirit tool. However, he was not to be underestimated. This was an absolute confidence in his own strength.

“In your dreams!” The yellow-clothed man clenched his teeth and cried out sternly. Immediately, his body once again shot forward.

“A fellow who overestimates his own strength.” Zhan Hong coldly spoke. The killing intent that he emitted became increasingly dense.

Zhan Hong did not have the slightest intention of dodging the yellow-clothed man’s all-out attack. One could only see a glow appear on the dagger in his hand. Soon after, his entire body strangely disappeared from his original spot.

Seeing this, the yellow-robed man’s charging figure suddenly came to a halt. He looked around vigilantly, but did not find any traces of Zhan Hong.

However, in the next moment, he felt a chill coming from his back. Before he could react, the sharp dagger had already been sent into his body.
