"Isn't this supposed to be a martial arts tournament? Why does it involve life and death battles?" Han Li asked Xi Yan, somewhat puzzled.

"Upper Immortal, you may not know this, but the Saye Assembly is not only a place for the talented youths of each tribe to show their skills, but also a place for the major tribes to resolve their disputes. The Three Miao Grand Lord usually does not allow private tribal wars, so they choose to use this method to decide. Therefore, the life-and-death decisions are mostly mixed with disputes over territory and interests," Xi Yan explained.

"Oh, I see. This way of resolving conflicts isn't a bad idea," Han Li immediately understood.

"These Gray World barbarians have a good method, simple and efficient. I like it," Shi Chuan Kong said to Han Li through voice transmission, his expression unchanged.

"This method works, which also shows that these people are mostly trustworthy. If it were in the Immortal World, the various tribes would have so many tricks up their sleeves, both overt and covert. I'm afraid that before this method could even be used, the conflicts would have already escalated to the point of being irreconcilable," Han Li replied through voice transmission.

"Indeed..." Shi Chuan Kong pondered for a moment, then chuckled and replied.

As the two were conversing through their minds, the two fighters on the stage had already begun their battle. The Qi Gu Clan man who first took the stage clearly had a stronger evil yuan aura, with evil energy swirling around him, forcing the Shui Hu Clan man into a retreat.

However, although the Shui Hu Clan man was at a disadvantage, he showed no sign of panic. His eyes always carried a hint of excitement, and he wielded a three-pronged fork radiating evil energy, constantly dodging and weaving on the stage.

The Qi Gu Clan man chased closer and closer, while the Shui Hu Clan man dodged more and more joyfully. With each flash and dodge, dangerous situations arose, causing the people of various tribes below the stage to shout and cheer.

After watching for a while, Han Li found it a bit strange. The Shui Hu Clan man had been suppressing his aura, using the old trick of feigning weakness. The Qi Gu Clan man's aura had also been dragged down from its peak state. It looked like he should have launched a counterattack, but he just wouldn't do it, still cooperating with his opponent's movements, dodging narrowly.

After another dozen rounds, Han Li felt like he was watching a juggling act, and it became somewhat uninteresting. He turned his gaze towards Bo Leng Lake in the distance.

At this moment, light flurries were falling over the lake, and the starlight was reflected on the surface, shimmering as if countless silver fish were jumping in it.

Suddenly, Han Li's heart skipped a beat.

Through the layers of the crowd, he suddenly noticed some strange movements on the lake surface.

Just as he was about to take a closer look, a loud buzzing sound suddenly rang out from behind him.

Along with this sound, his consciousness became dizzy, as if he had been hit hard on the back of the head. However, the words "Yu Feng Zhen Shen Talisman" inscribed on the white snow peak standing in his sea of consciousness quickly lit up with a dazzling light, turning into a layer of snow-white light waves that swept out, instantly smoothing out all the discomfort in his sea of consciousness.

Beside him, everyone, including Xi Yan, softened and fell to the side.

Han Li turned his head slightly and caught a glimpse of the Shui Hu Clan man on the stone platform from the corner of his eye. Blood was flowing from all seven orifices on his face, and he was holding a black conch-like object in his hand, his eyes full of fanaticism.

Over at the large tent, everyone was slumped in their chairs. Their consciousness was still clear, but they were almost unable to move.

At this moment, a hand reached out beside Han Li and tugged on his sleeve, pulling him down.

He turned to look and saw that Shi Chuan Kong had fallen to the ground and was signaling him with his eyes to fall down as well.

Han Li smiled helplessly in his heart and pretended to be unable to hold on, collapsing with the people around him.

At this moment, from the area where the Shui Hu Clan was gathered, a tall man in a gray cloak took off his hood, revealing a blue face that resembled a monkey.

Han Li's heart stirred. He realized that this man's appearance was very similar to the blue-skinned monkeys he had seen in the ruins of the Zhen Yan Sect. However, this one was clearly stronger, at the mid-Golden Immortal level, and his intelligence was also significantly higher.

The tall man leaped onto the stone platform, walked to the Shui Hu Clan man's side, took the black conch from his hand, looked at it for a moment, and carefully put it away.

The Shui Hu Clan man, who had been bleeding from all seven orifices, fell to the ground, obviously dead.

In the corner of the large tent, the Shui Hu Clan chief no longer pretended. He stood up from his chair, came to the side of the blue-skinned monkey, bowed, and said, "Your Excellency is truly a master strategist. I admire you."

"Mu Xiu, how dare you collude with the people of the Ni Ci Tuo Domain and betray the Black Tooth Domain?" Miao Xiu rebuked, supporting herself with difficulty, but her voice was somewhat weak.

"I'm sorry, Miss. The Qi Gu Clan has occupied my Shui Hu Clan's territory for hundreds of years, and they even killed my younger brother, Mu Xiu, and my nephew, Mu Hai. Such a blood feud cannot be repaid with a single life at the Saye Assembly," the Shui Hu Clan chief said expressionlessly.

With that, he walked to the side of Wu He Li, who was fighting against Mu Duo, and directly smashed his head into pieces with a palm strike.

The Shui Hu Clan members below the stone platform shouted loudly and charged towards the area where the Qi Gu Clan members were, and for a time, screams were constant and the air was filled with a bloody aura.

The Qi Gu Clan chief in the large tent was grief-stricken and wailed incessantly.

"Is this your own intention, or the Qing Yuan Clan's intention, in doing this? Aren't you afraid that our Black Tooth Domain will no longer remain neutral and will turn to the Samsara Domain?" Miao Xiu asked through gritted teeth, her eyes burning with anger.

"Hmph, don't think we don't know that the Samsara Domain has already sent people to talk to your father. Turning to them is only a matter of time," the blue-skinned monkey finally spoke, his voice hoarse.

"What baseless accusations! My father has always been a staunch opponent of the Samsara Domain's ideas, and he has also tried his best to persuade friendly countries not to be bewitched by them. How could he turn to the Samsara Domain?" Miao Xiu was even more angry when she heard this and rebuked.

"Your Black Tooth Domain is just a small domain in one world, and you usually overestimate yourselves too much. Since you dared to allow the Samsara Domain's envoy to enter your territory, don't blame us for using you as a sacrifice to set an example for others," the blue-skinned monkey said with a cold smile.

With that, he turned and looked towards the direction of Bo Leng Lake, and let out a loud cry.

The waves on the lake surged violently, and the Qing Yuan Clan and other Ni Ci Tuo allied tribal armies, which had been lurking there for a long time, immediately surged up from the lake water, numbering tens of thousands.

After they landed, they surged up like a tide and rushed into the various tribes of the Black Tooth Domain, beginning a frenzied massacre.

This time, the sounds of killing were truly earth-shattering, and blood flowed like a river.

The location where Han Li and the Gray Lizard Clan were was not too far from the lake. Soon, the Ni Ci Tuo army would kill over, and then he and Shi Chuan Kong would have to resist. Once the identity of the Immortal World people was exposed, not to mention the Ni Ci Tuo Domain army, even the various tribes of the Black Tooth Domain would probably turn their spears and surround them.

In the Gray World, no matter how deep the hatred between the various forces, they had long reached a consensus on this point, that is, they must put aside their disputes and jointly resist the Immortal World at all times.

Han Li was not really afraid of these people. After all, with the two of them’s abilities, they could still manage to escape unscathed. However, in this way, it would be difficult for them to continue to disguise their identities, and it would become even more difficult to find an opportunity to return to the Immortal World.

"What to do? We can't keep pretending..." Shi Chuan Kong asked through voice transmission, his tone quite anxious.

Han Li frowned slightly, did not answer, and glanced at the stone platform. He saw that the blue-skinned monkey did not know when, had already taken out a wolf-toothed mace, and was knocking the heads of the Black Tooth Domain tribe chiefs one after another.

Mu Qiu tied the Qi Gu Clan's chief in front of him, and a black long knife in his hand was stained with white karma fire, and he was about to cut off his head at his neck.

The latter had his neck stiff, his eyes full of hatred, but his face was completely fearless.

The nearby wailing sounds became more and more intense, and seeing that the Ni Ci Tuo Domain's tribal armies were about to kill over to the Gray Lizard Clan's side.

"Forget it, our identity can't be hidden anymore. We might as well slaughter all these Gray World people, and then destroy the corpses and erase the traces, and leave here as soon as possible..." Shi Chuan Kong said through voice transmission, and the aura fluctuations on his body began to become unstable.

"Don't mess around, I have a way," Han Li stopped him without hesitation.

As soon as his voice fell, just as Shi Chuan Kong was surprised, he saw a black mist rising from under Han Li, spinning in the air, turning into a black vortex, and instantly flying away and landing on the black stone platform.

His eyes narrowed, and when he detected the aura coming from the black mist, his expression suddenly changed.

That was actually a Gray Immortal with a Taiyi Realm cultivation base!

The black mist vortex swirled to the sky above the stone platform, and suddenly solidified, like a meteor emitting billowing black smoke, and fell heavily.

With a loud bang, the black stone platform shook violently, and exploded from the center, splitting into countless pieces like a spider web.

In the center of a fissure, all the black mist converged, condensing into a slender, handsome young man in black martial attire, gently shaking a black folding fan in his hand. The aura of a Taiyi Gray Immortal was released without any concealment, turning into layers of invisible fluctuations, constantly spreading from under his feet.

This person was none other than Mo Guang, who had occupied the body of the Gray Immortal, but before leaving the Hua Zhi Cave Heaven, he had used a secret technique to change his appearance to this young face.

The people on the platform were a little at a loss by this sudden scene, and all looked at the black-clothed man who suddenly fell from the sky with a look of surprise and suspicion.

The blue-skinned monkey holding the wolf-toothed mace, after looking at Mo Guang for a moment, his expression suddenly changed, and he exclaimed:

"You... you are a Xu He Clan member? Impossible... how could there be Xu He Clan people here?"

"Xu He Clan... from your tone, it seems to be a remarkable tribe..." Mo Guang said with a chuckle after hearing this.
