"Ziqing, then tell me, who do I need to pay special attention to?" Zhu Ziyuan asked without the slightest impatience.

"Sigh … according to what you said, Big Brother, apart from Qingyang City, none of the people from the other cities are easy to deal with. We have to be extra careful when we meet them and pay more attention." Zhu Ziqing sighed softly and said somewhat helplessly.

"Wrong. Gu Qianxun from Qingyang City must also be careful. Don't think that she's just a woman. Her battle strength is definitely not below those people." Zhu Ziyuan frowned and said seriously.

"Yes, yes, yes. There's also Gu Qianxun from Qingyang City.

Big brother, you're thinking too much. How could I be so unlucky to meet so many strong people? "Zhu Ziqing nodded like a chick pecking at rice, but in the end, he muttered something.

"Ziqing, what do you think big brother relied on to win the tournament so many times in a row?" Zhu Ziyuan ignored Zhu Ziqing's complaints and changed the topic.

"Needless to say, of course it's strength." Zhu Ziqing said without hesitation.

"Strength is important, but it's not the most important.

Most importantly, you can't underestimate them in the slightest. Besides those opponents that you're familiar with, you must be careful when you encounter those new faces that are participating in the martial competition for the first time. "Zhu Ziyuan had a serious expression as he instructed.

"Yes, big brother. I'll remember." Zhu Ziqing finally looked more serious and nodded.

Seeing this, Zhu Ziyuan stopped nagging and quietly looked up at the starry sky with his sister.

However, after a few dozen breaths, Zhu Ziyuan spoke again, "Oh right, Feng Wuchen from Zhixuan City …"

"Big brother, that's enough …"

…

Just as everyone in Xuan City was making their own preparations for the Five Cities Conference, on a desert that was tens of thousands of miles away, the wind howled and dust filled the sky.

Under the moonlight, it was as if the entire world was in chaos.

In the boundless dust, huge black shadows were faintly discernible and were slowly moving forward through the dust.

Under the bright moonlight, the black shadows that were revealed were actually gigantic scaled beasts.

The one in the lead was a Black-Scaled Elephant that was over a thousand feet tall, but its appearance was a little different from normal.

The Black-Scaled Elephant was covered in scales from head to toe, and its abdomen and legs were covered in iron armor. There were seven or eight fist-sized beast cores embedded into its flesh in the shape of a ring.

Two of the Black-Scaled Elephant's tusks had already been cut off, and in their place were two sharp spears. Under the moonlight, the spears shone with a cold light through the sandstorm.

The strangest thing was that the Black-Scaled Elephant's eye sockets were sunken, and they were pitch black. There were no eyeballs at all, and if one looked carefully, one could see that its eye sockets had obvious signs of withering.

This Black-Scaled Elephant was actually a withered corpse.

The remaining dozen or so large scaled beasts that followed behind him were all huge corpses.

On the backs of these scaled beasts, there was a black stone temple that was neither too big nor too small.

In the stone temple of the leading Black-Scaled Elephant, there were seven or eight braziers lit up, brightly illuminating the inside.

In the center of the temple, there was a black stone platform with a radius of three feet. On it sat a woman in a long black dress. Her figure was exquisite, and her face was covered with a veil. Just her side view was enough to charm all living things.

On a black stone chair not far away from the woman, there was a graceful woman with a similar black veil sitting on it. Her body was slumped, and her soft waist was stuck to the chair, making her look like a soft and boneless demon snake.

"How much longer until we reach Xuan City?" The woman's voice was soft and languid, as if she was talking in her sleep.

"Reporting to the City Lord, we are still in the territory of our Puppet City. If there are no accidents along the way, we will be less than a month away from Xuan City." The woman on the stone platform turned slightly and said softly.

"Good, after preparing for so many years, the time has finally come …" The woman who was addressed as the City Lord sat up, and her eyes were as bright as stars as she murmured.

…

An uneventful night passed, and the next day dawned.

Outside Xuan City, when the first ray of sunlight passed through the Profound Mountain Range and descended upon the city, the city was already filled with a jubilant atmosphere.

All the streets and alleys in the city were filled with dense streams of people, and all of them converged towards a circular building that occupied an extremely large area at the center of the city. That place was precisely the largest arena in Dark City, and it was specially named the Asura Arena.

The open square in front of the Asura Arena was already packed with people, and the human-shaped stone statue that stood there was completely surrounded. People constantly rushed over from all directions, and they fought to be the first to touch the clothes and toes of the stone statue.

It was said that touching this statue would bring them good luck, and it would allow them to slaughter everyone in the Five City Martial Competition and earn a fortune. Thus, many parts of the statue had already been polished to the point of being extremely smooth, and it was covered in a thick layer of exploding paste that reflected the morning sun.

There was even a large number of people gathered before the four doors of the Asura Arena, and they were waiting for the doors to open and enter.

"Boom …"

Accompanied by a heavy and distant sound of a bell, the four doors slowly opened at the same time. The crowd swarmed in, and they all poured into the Asura Arena, and they dispersed around the eight huge Profound Fighting Stages in the arena.

At the same time, in a circular hall in the depths of the Asura Arena, there were dozens of people gathered, and they were roughly divided into five teams, and they were all talking to each other.

These people were the 64 Profound Fighters that were participating in the Five City Martial Competition, and Han Li, Gu Qianxun, and the others were also among them.

"Fellow Li, how's the brewing of your blood wine?" Gu Qianxun saw that Han Li was sitting in a corner, and she walked over to ask.

Yi Liya and the others were gathered together, and they no longer felt that there was anything strange about this. They only glanced at each other, and they continued to chat among themselves.

Xuanyuan Xing and Du Long were quite a distance away from them. The former was still considered indifferent, while the latter had a somewhat nervous expression.

"It's about time … Here, I must first congratulate Fellow Gu for being the first to deal with the threat of the Black Tribulation Bugs." Han Li raised his head to look at her, and said with a smile.

"Liu Hua … the old man's thinking is weird, and he wants you to bring the Meteorite Celestial Qilin. I'm really sorry … I can't help much with this matter." Gu Qianxun said half-truthfully.

"I know that there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world, and Senior Liu Hua's request is still considered reasonable.

Now, I just hope that the Meteorite Celestial Qilin won't be placed too near the front as a reward. "Han Li smiled and said.

"I'll first reveal a piece of news to Fellow Li. The Meteorite Celestial Qilin is one of the rewards for the top three, so there's still a high chance that Fellow Li will be able to obtain it." Gu Qianxun looked at Han Li, and transmitted a meaningful message to him.

"I'm indebted to Fellow Gu for thinking so highly of me, and for the sake of my own life, I can only bite the bullet and fight for it." Han Li said with a smile.

As the two of them spoke, the entire space suddenly shook, and a rumbling sound came from the front of the crowd.

The thick wall had caved in five holes, and a ray of light shone down from each of them, revealing five stone steps that led to the ground.

"Five Cities' Xuan Gladiators, ascend the Xuan Fighting Platform." A loud shout came from above.

Xuan City's native Xuan Gladiators, under the lead of Zhu Ziyuan and Zhu Ziqing, walked up one of the stone steps, and headed towards the ground.

When the other teams saw this, they also followed the lead of their leaders and walked out of the underground hall.

Once they reached the ground, waves of incomparably majestic cheers immediately swept across, and gathered towards the center of the Xuan Fighting Platform from all directions. Among the cheers, there were even a few special people's names:

"Zhu Ziyuan, Zhu Ziyuan …"

"Feng Wuchen …"

… …

There was a sea of people on the viewing platform, and all sorts of voices mixed together. It was very lively.

Although Han Li had participated in so many Xuan Fights in Qingyang City, this was the first time he was shocked by the audience's cheers. As he listened to the waves of heat, each stronger than the last, the blood in his body began to boil.

He looked around and saw that there was a Xuan Fighting Platform every few hundred feet away. There were eight in total, and they were all distributed in the Eight Trigrams position. Five of the platforms stood the Xuan Gladiators of the five cities.

On the Xuan Fighting Platform where the native Xuan Gladiators of Xuan City stood, there was one more person.

He was tall and had a pair of bull horns on his head. His face was dark, and he was the host of the event.

A 300m tall platform stood at the center of the eight arenas, and there were six black stone chairs placed on it.

These were obviously the seats reserved for the five city lords, but for some reason, there was one more.

"Silence, and welcome the City Lord." At this moment, the dark-skinned man shouted.

The entire Shuraba suddenly quieted down, and there was no sound at all. Han Li was a little surprised.

Then, there was a whistling sound of wind. Five figures suddenly fell from the sky and smashed into the high platform like meteors.

"Boom!"

The entire platform and the entire Shuraba shook, and six figures appeared in front of everyone.

Everyone looked up and saw the City Lord of Eche standing in the middle, and the other five were standing on both sides of him. They were about half a step away from him, and it looked like they were following behind him.

At this moment, the ordinary-looking City Lord of Eche actually had a majestic aura of a monarch descending upon the world. He looked like a lion that subdued everything, making it impossible for anyone to resist him.

On the viewing platform, many people couldn't help but lower their heads.

Han Li squinted his eyes and looked at the high platform, and a trace of doubt flashed in his heart. Why is it him?

He saw a person standing on the left side of Eche. He was short, but his physique was quite strong. He was mostly bald, but the beard under his chin was thick, and it was twisted into a braid.

It was none other than the blacksmith master, Madam Liuhua!
