  The Beast Arena has four regions: the Eastern Forest, the Southern Desert, the Western Wilderness, and the Northern Fire Sea. This arena can be said to be separate from the Chaotic City, forming a unique realm. In the center of the boundless desert in the south lies a city built with giant stones, named the Desert City. One of the transmission arrays that leave the Beast Arena is located here.

  Lieteng wore a black robe, his eyes coldly staring at the large city in front of him. Although it was made of piled-up giant stones, it gave off an air of grandeur and crudeness, with a thick sense of vicissitudes emanating from the city. This was already his twelfth day in the Beast Arena, during which he had hunted down five cultivators at the first level of the Congenital Realm, and also learned that to leave the arena, one must join a certain camp.

  After some consideration, Lie Teng decided to join the Desert City. The reason was simple: the Desert City's strength was greater, and Lie Teng only wanted to spend a year here before leaving for the Wan Jian Sect to become an apprentice of Sword Frenzy, and then have a battle with Leng Ye.

  Lieteng slowly walked into the Desert City, with hundreds of people coming and going on the simple main road. Their cultivation was all between the first and third layers of the Congealing Dan stage. What surprised Lieteng was that they looked at him without any killing intent. After a moment's thought, Lieteng understood that joining the Desert City also meant being on the same boat as everyone else, which meant being one of them. On both sides of the main road in the Desert City were several simple shops selling spoils of war. Lieteng rushed straight to the depths of the Desert City to receive a special token for the Desert City camp.

  Half a time after, Lie Teng walked out of the Desert City, holding a yellow earth-colored token in his hand, with Lie Teng's spirit seal on it. In addition to this token, Lie Teng also received 100 middle-grade spiritual stones, and he could receive them once every month. Such generous rewards were no wonder that they attracted many cultivators to join the camp.

  "Kill one hundred people from the desolate camp?" Lie Teng not only smiled bitterly, this desert city has a population of nearly ten thousand people, and the number of people in the desolate land is also about the same. If each person kills one hundred people, how many people will be left for others to kill? However, Lie Teng understood that many cultivators are unwilling to leave the Beast Arena, those who adapt to this place can receive a generous reward every month, making them want to cultivate until they reach the third layer of the Cong Dan before leaving. After all, it's not certain that the outside world is much better than here.

  But what's even more puzzling is, who are the leaders of these two camps? What are their goals? Why would they set up two large camps here for no reason? This doesn't make sense. I've heard that many young masters and geniuses from various powerful factions have entered this place. Could it be that this Cangyun Arena is actually a battleground for the younger generation of these major powers to compete with each other?

  Just as Lie Teng was walking and thinking, he suddenly found a group of people flying towards him. Among them, one had a tall and sturdy physique, with a pair of tiger eyes staring tightly at himself. Lie Teng's heart skipped a beat, thinking to himself that something was off. The person staring at him turned out to be the big man who had pushed him earlier.

  "Haha, the kid actually dares to enter the Beast Arena? Not bad, having just reached the first layer of Condensation and already has the courage to enter the Beast Arena! No wonder he dared to sneak up on me when I was at the sixth layer of Gathering Spirit." The big man Zhang Kuang walked over with a loud laugh, his tiger-like eyes hiding a hint of murderous intent.

  Lieteng's gaze swept past the big man and landed on the cultivator behind him, a hint of unease rising in his heart. They were all at least at the second layer of the Congdan stage, and what's more, they looked very young, probably the younger generation of some sect. Lieteng took a few steps back, his original energy ready to be unleashed at any moment. If this big man made a move, Lieteng would summon his illusory sword in an instant.

  "Little kid, wasn't it you who ambushed me last time?" The big man stepped forward, his words causing the group of young men behind him to glance at Lie Tong with interest, sizing him up. The grey-clothed youth leading them looked at Lie Tong with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

  Lie Teng furrowed his brow, looking at the large man's outstretched right hand. He quickly retreated and said in a low voice: "Fellow Taoist, even if I wanted to launch a sneak attack back then, I wouldn't have been able to. Moreover, as a member of the Desert City, taking action against me would be a violation of the rules."

  "Square?" The big Han tilted his head back and burst out laughing, while the young people in the air also revealed a hint of proud smile.

  "Who are you to lecture us on rules? Do you know who made the rules in this desert city?" The big Han burst out laughing, his gaze at Lie Tong now held a hint of mockery.

  Lieteng's face twitched, looking at the dozen or so cultivators in mid-air. He vaguely felt that something was off, and gazed at the big man's eyes, which contained a hint of sharpness. He said in a low voice, "Fellow Daoist, no matter who made the rules, although we had some disagreements in the past, but now as fellow disciples of the Desert City, there's no need to ruin our harmony over those small disputes."

  "What a joke? Haha, can one layer of Qi Dan kill several people in the Desert City? It will only be given to the people of the desolate city to kill. And besides, I think it was an ambush on me back then, how could that be?" The big man looked down at Lie Tong with a ferocious smile, his eyes staring tightly at him.

  Lieteng took a deep breath, his heart filled with murderous intent. This Wang Long was indeed too much to bear. Lieteng stared at Wang Long and said in a low voice: "If fellow daoist wants to drag this on, why not let us settle this dispute once and for all?"

  The young people in the air heard Lie Teng's words and were slightly stunned, after reacting they couldn't help but laugh lightly. Wang Long was a second-layer cultivator of the Congealing Dan stage, and he was also a body cultivator, while Lie Teng had only reached the first layer of the Congealing Dan stage. Wanting to challenge Wang Long was undoubtedly seeking death!

  "Done? How is it done?" Wang Long's words were blurted out, and suddenly his pupils contracted sharply. Countless small black swords floated in his line of sight. Before he could react, these swords frantically shot towards him. He took a deep breath, his body rapidly retreating, but how could he be faster than these illusory swords?

  "Bang! Bang! Bang!" The continuous crashing sounds rose up, and Wang Long's body was stiffly struck by these illusory swords into the air.

  "Ah!!" Wang Long let out a series of miserable cries, his body heavily falling to the ground. He furiously lifted his head and found himself surrounded by numerous small swords pointing at him, momentarily stunning him.

  Lieteng took a step forward, looking at Wang Long surrounded by the illusory swords, and said in a cold voice: "If you still want to continue fighting, then these swords will no longer be suspended." Lieteng wanted to kill Wang Long, but he couldn't do it now, or else he would also find it difficult to leave the Desert City.

  "Wang Long's body was covered in dense, tiny holes, with fresh blood gushing out, his expression ferocious as he glared at Lie Teng, his eyes blazing with anger."

  Those young men in the air stepped forward one by one, they had not reacted yet, Wang Long was severely injured in less than five breaths of time, everything was too fast, so fast that they could not react, and even more unbelievable was the fact that Wang Long, who had just condensed his dan to the second layer, was defeated? Defeated so decisively?

  "Alright! Fellow Taoist, I guarantee that Wang Long will not cause any more trouble in the future. Spare his life, what do you say?" The gray-clothed youth leading the group looked at Lie Teng with a hint of surprise and shock in his eyes. Although Lie Teng was able to severely injure Wang Long, the power of his Illusory Sword was not to be underestimated! Moreover, he had discerned that Lie Teng was using the Clear Void Sect's Illusory Sword, but he had never heard of a Black Illusory Sword before.

  "Xuan Xu Zi is too powerful, I refuse to accept it, this is a sneak attack!" Wang Long heard the young man's words and let out a low roar.

  "That's enough!" The young man in gray clothes looked at Wang Long and said in a low voice, then looked at Lie Teng and said: "Fellow Taoist, welcome to join the Desert City! I am Xuanxuzi, the new leader of the Desert City!"

  Lie Teng was shocked, looking at the unassuming gray-clad youth. A sharp glint flashed in Lie Teng's eyes. Cultivation at the second level of the Congealing Dan stage? Become the leader of the Desert City? This person is not simple. For some reason, Lie Teng felt that this person's appearance seemed somewhat familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before. But he didn't say anything, only nodded his head, glanced at Wang Long, and then swiftly departed into the distance.

  Watching Lie Tong leave, the young people's previous disdain had long since disappeared, replaced by solemnity. They couldn't help but acknowledge Lie Tong's strength. If it were them before, they wouldn't have been able to defeat Wang Long so decisively.

  Wang Long stood up, covered in fresh blood, and gazed fiercely at Lie Teng's back, his eyes filled with resentment.

  "Wang Long, I advise you not to provoke him, he may not have used his full strength yet!" Xuanxuzi said calmly, glancing at Wang Long.

  "Xuan Xu Zi is old and big, if it's a head-on confrontation, I must be able to tear him apart!" Wang Long said fiercely.

  "That's it, let this matter rest here, don't bother him again!" said Xuanxuzi.

  "Why? If this revenge is not avenged, how can I swallow this breath?" Wang Long said with clenched fists.

  "If I'm not mistaken, he's a friend of the minority." Xuanxuzi said with profound meaning. Wang Long's sturdy body suddenly trembled, and his venomous gaze was momentarily dazed.

  PS: Today I'm feeling a bit anxious, thinking about the third watch, but the more I think about it, the more pressure I feel, puzzling... There should be another watch tonight, will be late.
