"Many geniuses of the human race will be invited over this time, and all the geniuses of our Fire Spirit Race will be making an appearance as well!" A soldier of the Fire Spirit Race changed the topic, and there was a trace of anticipation in his eyes as he said, "At that time, the geniuses of both races will gather here and fight for supremacy. It'll definitely be a rare show!"
"Our Fire Spirit Race has too many geniuses, and every single one of them is a peerless genius that's invincible. Even the geniuses of the human race can't compare to them!" A soldier of the Fire Spirit Race didn't conceal anything and spoke in an extremely straightforward manner.
"You can't say that. The human race has extremely outstanding geniuses as well. For example, Tuoba Liuyun, Xuan Tianzi, Yuwen Ji, and so on and so forth. They're extremely terrifying, and there's only a few people in our Fire Spirit Race that can go against them!" A senior soldier of the Fire Spirit Race shook his head and spoke.
"But it's only a few of them. The rest are nothing before the numerous geniuses of our Fire Spirit Race!" Another soldier of the Fire Spirit Race had a trace of disdain in his eyes as he spoke, "If it wasn't for the fact that humans have to enter the Number One Danger Ground, then our Fire Spirit Race wouldn't have to allow these extremely mediocre and useless human geniuses to come here at all. It's simply a waste of time!"
"There are rumors that the Number One Danger Ground actually belongs to the human race, and that's why it's especially accommodating to the human race. A human has to be present in order to enter safely!" A soldier of the Fire Spirit Race spoke in a serious voice.
"But since it's in the territory of our Fire Spirit Race, then it belongs to our Fire Spirit Race!" A soldier of the Fire Spirit Race immediately laughed with ridicule, "If the human race isn't convinced, then feel free to attack our Fire Spirit Race, right?"
Many soldiers of the Fire Spirit Race instantly started laughing when they heard this, and they took it to be a joke!
The Fire Spirit Race had taken root in the southern wasteland countless years ago, and even the Myriad Sword Sect that had once unified the Ascension Lower Continent was helpless against the southern wasteland and the Fire Spirit Race. So, in the current era, could anyone touch the Fire Spirit Race at all?
Attacking the Fire Spirit Race? That was an extremely amusing joke!
"Alright, don't get distracted. Guard your posts and don't slack off!" After a wave of relaxed and pleasant conversation, a soldier immediately stopped smiling, and then he revealed a solemn expression as he spoke.
"Yes!" All of the Fire Spirit Clan's soldiers obeyed the orders, and their expressions became calm. Their sharp gazes were vigilant in all directions as they guarded the only gate that led to the Southern Wasteland.
.....
At the same time, in the Trading Manor!
Saintess Ming Yu, Tuoba Zhen, Yuwen Ji, Song Qin, Lan Ling, Xie Shanshan, and the others had already arrived at the trading manor. They quickly headed towards the cave Xiao Fan had entered.
On the other hand, compared to Xiao Fan, an old man from the Fire Spirit Race who clearly possessed extraordinary status had personally welcomed them before leading them to the entrance of the cave.
"Xiao Fan, you've already arrived?" Yuwen Ji unconsciously stopped when he heard the words of the old man from the Fire Spirit Race. After which, his pupils shrunk as he spoke in a serious voice.
The others unconsciously stopped as well, and then they looked at the old man with clear gazes.
"That's right. He arrived about fifteen minutes earlier than all of you. Looking at the time now, he should have already passed through the door and officially stepped onto the ground of our Southern Wasteland!" The Fire Spirit Race elder also paused slightly and nodded as he spoke.
"It's fine as long as he reaches the Southern Wasteland. I'm just afraid that he won't make it!" Tuoba Zhen grinned and revealed a mouthful of snow white teeth. Frightening cold light flickered between his teeth as he spoke.
"Since he's already here, then don't even think about leaving. Stay here forever!" Yuwen Ji smiled as well. His smile was overflowing with killing intent as he spoke.
Not only had he been severely injured when he was blasted flying by Xiao Fan in front of everyone on Sky Peak Mountain, he'd even lost all his face. Many people from the Dayan Holy Land discussed animatedly behind his back and snickered endlessly.
Yuwen Ji was utterly unable to endure all of this. He'd always been suppressing the rage in his heart like a volcano, and it was on the verge of erupting at this moment.
"This Xiao Fan killed three people as soon as he entered the city, and then he heavily injured and crippled a captain of our Fire Spirit Race. He really is as arrogant as the legends say!" The old man from the Fire Spirit Race chuckled as he spoke.
"But people who are too arrogant usually don't get far!" Song Qin sneered.
"We originally planned to kill him on the spot!" The old man from the Fire Spirit Race said casually, "Although the Fire Spirit City isn't within the Southern Wasteland, there's still a great treasure of our Fire Spirit Race guarding it. No one dares to act presumptuously here!"
"Unfortunately, one of the higher-ups of our Fire Spirit Race has instructed us not to touch him for now. After all, he has four great figures behind him. If we kill him now, it'll definitely lead to a war. Once the war starts, it might affect the opening of the Most Fearsome Ground and cause unnecessary consequences!"
"Right now, the opening of the Most Fearsome Ground is the most important thing. As long as it doesn't cross the bottom line, everything else can be tolerated. Therefore, we won't pursue this matter for now. After the opening of the Most Fearsome Ground, it'll be time to settle the score with him!"
"That's right. The opening of the Most Fearsome Ground is still the most important thing. Everything else can be pushed back for now!" Saintess Ming Yu nodded gently and agreed.
The Most Fearsome Ground was the most precious place in the Qingyun Lower Continent. It only opened once every 100 years. Every time it opened, a shocking treasure would appear, causing some invincible figures to rise up.
The Fire Spirit Race's actions weren't wrong. Although killing Xiao Fan was also very important, when compared to the opening of the Most Fearsome Ground, killing Xiao Fan was just a small matter.
It was just a temporary forbearance. Killing Xiao Fan was already a done deal. There was no need to rush!
"Let's go, everyone. The sooner we pass through the door, the sooner we can reach the Southern Wasteland. Because the Most Fearsome Ground is in the depths of the Southern Wasteland. Now, there's only a dozen hours left before the opening of the Most Fearsome Ground. We can't waste any more time!" The old man from the Fire Spirit Race spoke indifferently again.
Saintess Ming Yu, Tuoba Zhen, Yuwen Ji and the others nodded. They didn't say anything else and followed quickly towards the entrance of the cave.
Lan Ling and Xie Shanshan glanced at each other, and a trace of happiness flashed through their eyes as they didn't encounter Xiao Fan right now. After that, they puckered their lips and followed the others to hurry over.
Not long after they left, another dozen groups of geniuses from the human race arrived successively, and then they directly rushed towards the entrance of the cave under the lead of the members of the Fire Spirit Race.
The Fire Spirit Race had invited a total of 100 human geniuses because the opening of the Most Fearsome Ground didn't just require the presence of humans, there was a requirement for the number of humans as well. 100 human geniuses were the number that the Fire Spirit Race had tried to gather all these years.
Every single human genius could bring three attendants to take care of their daily needs. So in total, there were almost 1,000 people that had entered the Southern Wasteland to participate in the opening of the Most Fearsome Ground.
However, no one knew how many of these 1,000 people would be able to return alive in the end!
The opening of the Most Fearsome Ground was extremely dangerous. Basically, only one out of 10 people that entered would be able to return alive. The others would forever stay within and become one of the countless souls that perished within.
Moreover, even if one was able to return alive from the Most Fearsome Ground, whether the Fire Spirit Race would be willing to allow one to leave the Southern Wasteland safely was a huge problem.
In the past, there were many human geniuses that were fortunate enough to obtain great fortune and leave the Most Fearsome Ground alive. However, because they refused to accept the conditions of the Fire Spirit Race, they were directly killed on the spot and lost their lives in the Southern Wasteland!
But even then, after they received the invitation of the Fire Spirit Race, over 90% of the human geniuses still wouldn't give up and would choose to go.
Because firstly, the benefits that the Most Fearsome Ground represented were truly too great. So long as one was able to obtain it, then one would be able to soar into the sky and have a limitless future. Under the drive of benefits, one had no choice but to go.
Secondly, the Fire Spirit Race wouldn't kill just anyone. So long as one was willing to cooperate with the Fire Spirit Race, for example, if one gave a portion of the great fortune obtained from the Most Fearsome Ground to the Fire Spirit Race, then the Fire Spirit Race wouldn't touch one at all. They would even form an alliance with one depending on the situation.
For example, the father of the beautiful woman who held the Moonfall Heavenly Bow and was killed by Xiao Fan that day, the Greedy Wolf Lord, had once walked out of the Most Fearsome Ground alive.
Because the great fortune he obtained was extremely important to the Fire Spirit Race, and coupled with the fact that he directly handed it over without waiting for the Fire Spirit Race to ask for it, his attitude was extremely sincere and sincere. So, the Fire Spirit Race betrothed the Grand Princess of the Fire Spirit Race to him in return. From then on, both sides formed a close alliance.
So, when the pros and cons were considered, even if the journey to the Most Fearsome Ground was filled with danger, there were still many people that were willing to go.
This time, only a mere 10 out of the 100 human geniuses that were invited to the Most Fearsome Ground didn't arrive and chose to give up. The rest had all arrived.
After the last human genius entered the cave, the entrance to the Southern Wasteland slowly closed.
As soon as the entrance closed, countless formations and traps constantly flashed in the surroundings. They flickered with light and an extremely dangerous aura filled the surroundings, completely isolating the Southern Wasteland from the outside world.
Before the entrance reopened, the Southern Wasteland was unaware of the outside world, and the outside world had no way of knowing about the Southern Wasteland!
However!
Less than two hours after the entrance closed, a sudden piece of news suddenly swept through the entire Qingyun Lower Plane. It stirred up a storm in the originally calm Qingyun Lower Plane. Countless people were unable to calm down for a long time.
