“It’s indeed quite a coincidence.”

“I don’t think there should be a gathering point for demon beasts here. Why are you guys here?” Gu Xi’s expression was cold, and he could not help but feel a little wary.

Now that the competition was about to end, logically speaking, the Liuli Sect should be rushing around to kill demon beasts to earn points. Coming to this godforsaken place would just arouse suspicion.

“Looking at you, you seem to be in a hurry to earn points.”

Su Lian smiled coquettishly, her gaze intentionally or unintentionally glancing at the dead demon beast.

The demon beast’s death was unsightly. Its wounds were smooth and shiny. It was obvious that it had been killed with a sharp weapon, and it was very likely that it had been killed in one hit!

“When this demon beast was alive, it had to be at least close to the strength of a Quasi-saint,” the plump woman in white said softly from the side.

Obviously, she had also seen the fact that the demon beast was killed by Gu Xi in one hit.

To be able to kill a demon beast that was close to the Quasi-saint stagein one hit, what kind of realm did the person who killed the demon beast have?

Quasi-saint stage? Or… Saint stage?

The woman in white took a deep look at Gu Xi, and her heart became more vigilant.

This guy who was able to escape from Wang Zhan and hundreds of people was indeed not as simple as they had imagined!

“Since you have seen through it, there is naturally nothing to hide.”

Gu Xi smiled, flicked his sleeves, and continued, “I would like to borrow the map of the gathering point of the demon beasts in your hands, may I?”

After saying that, Gu Xi did not make any unnecessary movements and only took a step forward.

This step was very ordinary and did not seem to be inappropriate at all.

However, Su Lian and the woman in white who were at the front all had a change in expression.

They could feel that an obscure aura had locked onto their entire Liuli Sect team, and the source of that aura was none other than Gu Xi who was not far away!

‘This fellow’s strength had greatly increased!’

This was Su Lian’s first thought.

“Are you kidding me? Why would we lend you the map!?”

“Exactly, exactly, aren’t you clearly robbing us!?”

“Don’t think that our Liuli Sect is easy to bully just because we’re all girls!”

However, the remaining three women of the Liuli Sect did not have the same sharp senses as Su Lian and the other two, and did not sense anything strange at all.

“Shut up!” the woman in white shouted, scaring the others so much that they shrank back.

They could not understand why the woman in white would suddenly get angry. It should be known that their senior sister’s temper was usually extremely cold, and she rarely got angry.

“Asking us to hand over the map with just one sentence, I’m afraid it’s not appropriate, right?”

Taking a deep breath, the woman’s gaze fell on Gu Xi again.

This time, her tone carried some probing.

Gu Xi was not stupid, and naturally understood her thoughts.

“Then… What if I do this?”

Gu Xi chuckled. He raised a hand and pressed it towards the location of the people from the Liuli Sect.

In the next moment, an incomparable pressure suddenly poured down from above them!

Their faces turned deathly pale at the same time, and their bodies sank a few times. Their jade-like feet stepped into the soil below.

As long as Gu Xi wanted to, with a thought, they would be buried alive here!

Unless someone in the Saint stage came to rescue them, they would be imprisoned in this dark underground for the rest of their lives until they died!

“Controlling everything, you’ve stepped into the Saint stage?!” The woman in white gritted her teeth and spoke, her eyes filled with shock.

Hearing this, Su Lian and the others also looked at Gu Xi with shock in their eyes.

Gu Xi did not answer her, but only smiled.

“Maybe… we can work together,” at this moment, Su Lian suddenly said.

“I don’t think there’s a need,” Gu Xi said coldly. He had no interest at all.

Working with these women, he did not know when they would stab him in the back. At that time, it would be too late to regret it.

Hearing Gu Xi’s answer, Su Lian did not look surprised at all. However, she did not give up just like that. Instead, she continued, “Recently, there have been a lot of strange phenomena in Safe Zone 3. We speculate that a large-scale Secret Realm is about to appear. This time, we are here to investigate.”

“As long as we cooperate, after the Secret Realm is over, we will give you the map of the gathering point of the demon beasts. Moreover, according to our investigation, the Secret Realm this time will attract most of the participants. Isn’t this a good opportunity to earn points? If you want, we can also help you when the time comes.”

Having said that, Su Lian forced a smile on her face.

Hearing this, Gu Xi could not help but feel a little moved.

One had to know that the Secret Realms on the planar battlefield had been passed down since ancient times! Moreover, it was able to attract most of the participants at once. Obviously, Secret Realms here were definitely not ordinary Secret Realms. There must be a lot of good things in it!

Moreover, with so many sects and forces gathered together, just as Su Lian had said, it was indeed a good way to earn points.

According to the rules of the competition, in order to earn points, in addition to the method of hunting demon beasts, there was also the method of robbing the points of other teams!

Compared to hunting demon beasts, robbing this method was both time-saving and effective!

At most, they could only rob half of their points in one go. If Gu Xi were to rob the Vast Expanse Sword Domain, which was ranked first, their Medicine King Valley’s points would instantly soar to nearly 20,000 points! Together with the current Medicine King Valley’s 10,000 points, their ranking would leap into the top 10!

This collaboration was indeed very attractive!

“Really?” Gu Xi asked.

“Really!” Su Lian answered with a sincere face.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Xi gently waved his hand, and the pressure instantly dissipated.

Su Lian and the others heaved a sigh of relief almost at the same time, and the three women behind them directly collapsed to the ground. They no longer looked down on Gu Xi.

“In that case, let’s cooperate for the time being.” Gu Xi spoke indifferently. His gaze swept back and forth between Su Lian and the woman in white. He continued in a cold voice, “Don’t try to play any tricks. Otherwise, you’ll have to bear the consequences.”

If they dared to play any tricks, he did not mind robbing them first.

Gu Xi did not know what it meant to be merciful to a woman. That would only result in a miserable death for him.

Moreover, he only wanted to scare them this time. After all, Su Lian had once helped him and Liu Qingqing out of trouble. He could not really repay kindness with enmity and rob them.

However, other than the Liuli Sect, Gu Xi would not show any mercy when dealing with other forces!
