The shriek was extremely ear-piercing in the night sky. The crowd, who were already feeling uneasy due to the continuous beast roars outside, immediately opened their eyes in alarm when they heard the shriek.
Qin Yichen furrowed his brows slightly and looked in the direction of the source of the screams. A hundred feet away from them, a young man at the peak of the Martial King Realm was holding his head in his hands. Screams of pain and agony continuously came out from his mouth.
"He's digging his own grave. He's only a Martial King, yet he dares to absorb energy in the Ancient Battlefield at night. I reckon that the fiendish aura will soon corrode his mind and he'll completely lose his mind."
Liu Yun mocked softly as if he had recalled something while Qin Yichen was puzzled.
Long Qingyao's pretty face changed when she heard that. The fiendish aura had reached such a level?!
As if he could see Long Qingyao's shock, Liu Yun acted as if he was showing off his knowledge and said in a low voice, "Qingyao, it's a good thing that you followed me to the gathering place. Hehe, if we were outside, the fiendish aura would be far greater than this!"
"Hmph, if I hadn't warned him, I'm afraid that some people wouldn't be any better."
Liu Yun glanced at Qin Yichen as he said that, intentionally or otherwise, as if he had saved Qin Yichen's life.
"Go and get rid of him."
In the silent gathering place where only the shrieks could be heard, a faint voice suddenly rang out from the youth on the leftmost side of the three stone platforms.
Soon after, the Martial Emperors at the entrance nodded. One of them walked toward the shrieking figure on the ground. Clearly, they did not want to wait until the fiendish aura had corroded the person's body before they dealt with him.
When they saw this scene, the expressions of everyone in the gathering place changed slightly. A desolate feeling involuntarily rose from the bottom of their hearts.
In this environment, human lives were as cheap as grass!
"No … I beg you, don't kill me … Ah …"
The shrieking figure knelt on the ground as if he sensed that his life was in danger. He kept begging the burly man for mercy, but his rationality was becoming more and more blurred …
"How dare you come to the Empire's Grand Assembly if you're not capable at all. You're courting death!"
However, the Ruler did not waver at all in the face of his pleading. Instead, he sneered at him.
"Ah!"
Under the pressure of the Emperor Realm expert's aura, the young man at the peak of the Martial King Realm screamed in agony. He actually fled in the direction of Qin Yichen and the others.
Seeing this scene, Liu Yun frowned and was just about to use his True Essence to push that person away when his arm was suddenly pulled. He turned around and saw that Qin Yichen, who had been sitting cross-legged, had stood up.
"What are you doing?!"
Seeing Qin Yichen stand up, Liu Yun's expression changed. Was this brat going to meddle in other people's business?
"Kill!"
At this moment, the young man at the peak of the Martial King Realm had already arrived in front of the three of them. At this moment, his eyes were extremely red. It was obvious that he had lost all rationality.
However, the Emperor Stage powerhouse who wanted to get rid of him was not in a hurry to make a move. Instead, he stood where he was as if he was watching a show.
Speaking of which, those who came here were all potential opponents. They were very happy to see a few people eliminated.
Although the people of the Tianxiang Dynasty allowed these people to enter the stronghold, they actually looked down on them. In fact, they did not even care about these people.
The Imperial Pageant was a stage for the strong. The weak could only serve as a foil!
When the young man who had lost all rationality pounced over, Qin Yichen moved. He reached out with lightning speed and directly grabbed the young man's chin. Then, he slapped a pill into his mouth.
"Ugh …"
The hot-tempered young man immediately clutched his neck. In the next moment, he fell to the ground and twitched twice before he stopped moving.
"Eh?"
Those who wanted to watch the show were all shocked when they saw this scene.
They did not expect that Qin Yichen, whose aura was only at the peak of the Martial King Realm, would be able to deal with the young man who had lost all rationality so easily.
"Throw him out."
A calm voice came from the stone platform again.
When the Emperor Stage powerhouse was about to throw the young man out, Qin Yichen spoke. "He's not dead yet."
"Not dead?"
The Emperor Stage powerhouse was clearly stunned. After glancing at the stone platform, he placed his palm on the young man's chest.
As expected, there was still a weak heartbeat.
Moreover, the strangest thing was that the murderous aura in the young man's body was not as dense as before. In fact, it was slowly dissipating.
"Eh?"
The Emperor Stage powerhouse raised his head and glanced at Qin Yichen. Then, he carried the young man and walked toward the stone platform in the middle.
His action attracted a lot of attention.
In the Ancient Battlefield, the most dangerous thing was not the beasts hiding in the dark, but the murderous aura that permeated the area.
And this was only the outer region.
If one reached the core area, the murderous aura would be everywhere. It would definitely cause one's strength to decline.
Most importantly, even if one wanted to recover in the core area, no one dared to absorb the vital energy of heaven and earth. Instead, they would choose to replenish themselves with spirit seeds.
That was the other reason why the people of the Tianelephant Dynasty collected spirit seeds.
The Imperial Pageant would last for a month.
If one did not have any recovery items in the core area, one would end up in a miserable state!
The people of the Tianelephant Dynasty were doing this to strengthen themselves and weaken others.
"Our prince is calling for you!"
Before long, the Emperor Stage powerhouse arrived in front of Qin Yichen again.
"Qin …"
Liu Yun and Long Qingyao stood up.
"It's fine."
Qin Yichen gestured for them to calm down and said to the Emperor Stage powerhouse, "Lead the way."
There was still a long way to go before they reached Heartseeker City. It was too difficult for the three of them to reach the city safely. However, if they could follow the people of the Tianelephant Dynasty, it would undoubtedly be much easier for them. In terms of safety, they would have another layer of protection.
When they arrived at the stone platform, Qin Yichen's gaze fell on the young man.
The young man looked to be in his twenties, but the aura on his body was exceptionally powerful. Moreover, based on the current situation, it was obvious that he was the leader of the group from the Tianelephant Dynasty.
"Do you have a pill that can remove the murderous aura?"
The young man asked Qin Yichen directly.
In fact, they had prepared many pills that could remove the murderous aura. However, after seeing the condition of the person just now, he realized that the pills that Qin Yichen had were definitely much better than the pills that they had.
After all, the person just now had clearly lost his mind, but he was still saved.
