Everyone's expression turned ugly. In this place, the Spirit Qi in one's body would slowly decrease to maintain oneself. Why couldn't they absorb Spirit Qi?
Many people with high cultivation levels were also slowly trying to absorb Spirit Qi. They found that as long as they absorbed a certain amount of Spirit Qi, there would be a small amount of strange energy in their bodies that could not be removed.
The main culprit might be it, but all of this should be the doing of the eye above.
Elder Xiong would find some people every day. He had already confirmed that they were on the same side as him. He secretly got them to gather first and sent out a representative.
There were many people in each group. This was to prevent people from being betrayed. Fewer people would be implicated and the losses would be minimized.
After everything that happened last night, the group finally began to gather at a place far away. There were only three days left until the ultimatum.
Less than a hundred people secretly gathered together. Elder Xiong and the divine bird set up a barrier together to prevent outsiders from seeing them.
The divine bird saw that everyone was looking at it expectantly.
"Long story short. Everyone has firmly believed in me. Thank you for believing in me. I have some information that I need your cooperation with," the divine bird said straightforwardly.
The Divine Bird arranged everything in detail, and to everyone's surprise, it finished its instructions.
"Lord Divine Bird, are we just going to let them capture us and seal us?" One of the representatives was puzzled. He thought that they were going to break out soon. He did not expect them to not surrender.
They felt that there was no need to mobilize so many people for this information.
If the other party sealed them, they would let the other party seal them and leave their fate to others. Moreover, this plan was so long that some people might not be able to last until then.
"Yes, the Patriarch still needs to modify this place. So, we have no hope." The divine bird sighed. "I also want everyone to leave now, but this is the only way I can think of."
"Alright." Everyone understood that this was the only way out. They would pass on the message to others. They did not dare to guarantee that they would really make a decision. The time span was too long and there were too many coincidences.
It could be said that if they were not careful, all of their previous efforts would be wasted. Who knew how many people would stay behind?
With various thoughts, the divine bird removed the barrier and everyone left.
When they were completely gone, the divine bird said faintly, "Come out."
"Everyone, come out."
Figures suddenly appeared in front of Elder Xiong and the others. If one looked closely, they would realize that all of them were above the Grand Heavenly Realm. There were no less than ten people.
"You all heard what I said just now, right? However, our mission is even more difficult and dangerous." The Divine Bird looked around. This was the real core, and those people were only there to cover them.

............................ After all, this is...........................................
"That's why we need two brave warriors to pretend to surrender to the other side. In order to ensure that we won't be discovered, we'll seal your key memories and make you think that you're willing to become the Shura's lackeys," the bird continued.
. ".. I'll also arrange a group of people for the other members who surrendered. However, they won't have any power. You can only rely on you to sneak into the upper echelons. You might be able to play a huge role at a critical moment."
"This is just a backup plan. You might not be able to use it. Please think about it," the bird said quickly. It explained everything clearly.
"I'm willing to be the vanguard for everyone. If I don't go to hell, who will?" the Westerner said as he walked forward.
"Forget it, bald donkey. Look at you. Who would believe you?" Bo Yun said sarcastically, but everyone could see the admiration in his eyes. "I think I'm the most suitable person."
"I think so too. We'll die sooner or later anyway. Why don't we fight for a chance?" Liu Che, who was a little sloppy, also walked out.
"You talk as if we're afraid of death. No one here will retreat." You Xing walked over from the side and said, not to be outdone.
.....
Everyone took the initiative to petition, hoping to take this dangerous task into their own hands.
The bird felt that everyone was so united. They would definitely succeed in the future.
"How about this? I'll throw out two things. Whoever grabs it first will go. No one is allowed to use Immortal Qi." The bird saw that everyone was in a dilemma. He simply took out two small round balls and said to everyone.
Everyone agreed. Soon, the two small balls flew directly to the middle.
After some fighting, You Xing and another person finally got it. You Xing got it by cheating. The other person's original body was a bird. He directly transformed into his original body and grabbed it with his claws in an instant. He didn't even give others time to react.
"Haha, no one will say anything this time." You Xing said to everyone proudly.
"Tsk, if I wasn't careless, you would have gotten it." Bo Yun said unwillingly, still trying to snatch it back.
"Alright, stop fooling around. I still have important things to tell you." The bird hurriedly stopped them. "Next, everything will be arranged by Elder Xiong. I have other arrangements."
"Don't worry, leave it to me." A man with a sinister expression said from the side. Previously, he had been standing coldly at the side and looking at everyone.
Now that he suddenly spoke, it gave the people beside him a fright. His presence was too weak.
But their conversation confused everyone. Looking at the bird happily nodding, it was as if the two of them were talking in riddles.
But everyone believed her. Perhaps she had other arrangements.
The bird quickly explained everything clearly, and everyone understood their respective tasks. Of course, this was especially true for those few people, as they were the most important part of the mission.
"Next, we can only wait for the arrangements of fate." The bird had already thought of everything. If something unexpected happened, there was nothing she could do.
Next, You Xing and that person stood together in the middle, waiting for their memories to be sealed. From now on, unless they were awakened, they would forever be enemies.
"You Xing, you have to live well for me." Bo Yun said.
"Don't worry. When I was young, I met a deity. He told me that my fortune was great and I wouldn't die. When the time comes, I hope to see you safe and sound." You Xing took a deep breath, indicating that Elder Xiong and the others were ready. Then he closed his eyes.
Elder Xiong and the bird looked at each other and nodded. Their bodies began to gather energy.
Soon, a colorful light appeared beside each of them and rushed towards You Xing. In the air, the two lights merged together, forming a colorful halo. Then, it rushed into You Xing's head.
You Xing let out a muffled groan and lay down.
Only Elder Xiong and the bird could undo it. If they failed, the seal would automatically undo after a hundred thousand years. The other person would also be able to keep his life and recover his original memories.
The other person had already said goodbye to his friend and indicated that he was ready.
After repeating the same process, he soon fainted on the ground as well. Everyone moved them to other places.
After everyone left for a long time, the two of them woke up one after another.
They looked around in confusion. They suddenly realized that they had been thinking about things outside and had forgotten the time. As for why they had to come out, they chose to forget.
The two of them quickly got up and went back. Soon, they forgot about this matter.
They still had to surrender to the Shura people. As the saying goes, a man of action is a hero. They wouldn't be stupid like them and try to break out. That would be suicide.
The next day, the divine bird had already disappeared in front of everyone. Only Elder Xiong was still here. Their conversation yesterday quickly spread among these people.
This caused a lot of controversy, but Elder Xiong didn't ask about it.
Some people who couldn't see the situation clearly secretly ran away. They felt that they were so big that they wouldn't waste so much effort to capture them.
Soon, the final day arrived. Whether or not they had made a decision and were prepared to wait until the end, they couldn't stop the flow of time.
In everyone's uneasy hearts, ten figures walked over from afar. They were basically Jin Xian mid-stage Shura. They were led by a Jin Xian late-stage Shura.
It wasn't that they were looking down on them. Any of the people here could kill them. Unfortunately, no one dared to do so because they were backed by people they couldn't afford to offend.
Those people casually walked in front of this group of people. They weren't worried at all that the other party would do them harm.
One of them was tall and had a stronger aura than the others. He walked to the front and didn't say anything. He directly took out a small sail and stabbed it into the ground.
When the small sail landed, a light flashed on the flagpole. It suddenly became bigger and thicker. It rose to a height of a few hundred feet before it stopped growing.
A huge curtain fell from above. It fell vertically on top of the yellow and red pattern, but there wasn't a single word on it. It was very strange.
"All of you, listen up. I won't say it a second time." He let out a huge sound wave from his mouth, causing the other party to fall silent. Only then did he nod in satisfaction.
"You should know everything in a month. I won't say much. If you're willing to surrender and become our puppet unconditionally, then you can keep your consciousness. Your safety can even be guaranteed."
A huge voice echoed in the vicinity.
"You should know that you were originally captured captives. This time, the lord took pity on you and gave you a chance. You must grasp it well." He looked at everyone with a pitiful expression.
"Listen up. We'll only be here for three days. If you don't register here after three days, you'll be seen as resisting the lord ancestor's summons. At that time, there won't be a chance to remedy it. You're on your own. Think about it before you make a decision."
Unknowingly, nine tables had been placed behind him. Behind each table sat an Asura. There was a piece of paper shining with white light on the table. It was vaguely related to the banner in front of them.
Then, there was a pen and an inkstone filled with blood-red fuel.
After he finished speaking, he stood under the huge banner and looked across with a cold smile.
Everyone there could see that the area of the tables was very large. There was no need to worry about crowding.
"Old Wang, didn't you say you wanted to go? It's such a good opportunity. Why don't you go? "Old Xiong saw a young man in the crowd and said to the side.
"I did say that. That's right. But how can I go at the beginning? No matter what, I have to wait for a while. There are so many people. No matter how they line up, it won't be my turn. "The young man called Old Wang had a cautious expression. He didn't want to be the fence-sitter.
Many of them had the same idea. For a moment, everyone was hesitating and quietly discussing who would go out first.
The Asura leader didn't care. He just stood there and looked at them without moving.
As long as there was a leader, the others would come over one after another. If they were lucky, they might be able to complete the task in a day.
These people were really waiting to die if they didn't surrender.
As expected, the first batch of people came over quickly.
A few people supported each other and squeezed out from behind. Looking at their appearance, their faces were very ugly. It was very likely that they couldn't hold on any longer.
These were those with lower cultivation. Although they had stopped absorbing spiritual energy from the air in time, everyone had more or less absorbed some before.
This was because they were just ordinary people. At most, they knew a little bit. They couldn't wait to keep their bodies full at all times. No matter how much time had passed, it wouldn't change.
They didn't have any medicinal pills that could sustain them, and the others wouldn't waste them on them either. Every single one of them was a treasure.
If they needed to use it, it could save their lives.
Now that they couldn't hold on any longer, they couldn't care about anything else. The thought of survival occupied all their thoughts.
Although he looked down on them and hoped that he wouldn't accept these trash, he didn't dare to go against the Old Ancestor's words. He could only let them come to the table.
The first person's hand was trembling. He wrote his name on the paper with trembling hands.
As he wrote, he felt that something in his body was being written by himself. It was indescribable and unclear.
When he finished writing and put the pen down, the white paper suddenly shrank. It shrank into his name and floated on the banner.
At the same time, his name appeared on the banner. He only felt that there was something more in his heart. He knew that his life didn't belong to him anymore.
However, to his relief, the person in charge told him on the spot that the spiritual energy in this world wouldn't corrode him anymore. He told him to heal without worry.
This made him overjoyed. This was the best news. He directly went to an empty space at the back and began to absorb the spiritual energy with all his might.
Soon, his originally pale cheeks gradually became rosy.
He wasn't the only one. A few people were in the same situation.
Elder Xiong closed his eyes. He felt that many people were about to be shaken, especially those with low strength.
As he guessed, with the patterns on these people's hair ornaments, some people didn't care about anything and directly walked out of the crowd.
In an instant, a wave of people surged over. One person saw that the people around him were also going over and subconsciously followed. However, regardless of whether they were humans or demons, everyone was lining up to imprint their names on the banner.
One name after another was like a stream of light that quickly merged into the banner.
Soon, the banner that was originally empty now had half of the names on it.
After a day and a night, the first wave of people had all signed their contracts.
In order to survive, they lost everything. Apart from their thoughts, they had nothing. Everything belonged to the Asura people.
Although some people regretted it, it was useless now. They could only stay there as if they had accepted their fate. They hoped that more people would make the same choice as them. Only then would it prove that this was the right decision.
On the other side, half of the people were still standing there. Some people began to waver, but more people were looking over there with disdain.
Ninety percent of the people there were below Jin Xian. Now, not even a late-stage Jin Xian went over, let alone a Daluo.
The person in charge of the Asura people knew that the more shameless they were, the more they cared about their reputation.
However, the final test would be on the final day.
Elder Xiong didn't say anything. Everyone had their own ambitions. He had already done what he could, and let them choose.
For the entire second day, not a single person went over.
Both sides faced each other. They used to be partners, but now they were enemies.
Everyone knew that tomorrow would be the day of the final decision. No matter what thoughts they had, they would have to settle in the dust. There would be no chance for them to return.
Although there was no concept of day and night, everyone had a point in their hearts.
On the third day, the Asura leader looked at the other side with a cold smile.
Suddenly, he walked up and said loudly to the other side, "I've made the decision here. There are only sixteen hours left today. If you exceed the time limit, I can't guarantee your fate."
This sentence caused a commotion on the other side, and they lost another eight hours for no reason.
"Didn't you say three days? Why are there only a few hours left?" Someone asked unwillingly.
"What's the difference? It's just a little earlier. I'm purposely pressuring you to make you panic. Only then will you be even more confused." Elder Xiong sighed in his heart.
"No less, no less. I make the decision here. If you don't want to come, then wait for your death. No one will ask you." The Asura leader laughed out loud. Seeing that a large group of people with higher cultivation than him were silent, he was delighted.
However, he also knew that he couldn't provoke those true experts. Otherwise, he would die for nothing.
That person was choked until his face turned red. He didn't say anything else.
Time passed slowly. Many people began to look around. They wanted someone to take the lead and leave first. In their hearts, they were wondering why they didn't go the day before. Now, they were in a dilemma.
Finally, someone took the lead.
A late Jin Xian lowered his head and walked over quickly.
Meng was shocked. It was the person who argued with the other party at the beginning.
Now, he jogged all the way to the table. After writing his name, he retreated into the crowd.
With him taking the lead, there would be a few people who would come forward every once in a while.
There were still two hours before the end. Those who should leave had already left. Many people looked to the side.
There was a group of Grand Heavenly level people there. Until now, none of them had surrendered.
