“As little girls, we naturally know our limits.” Su Lian smiled coquettishly. Her long and narrow eyes narrowed into a straight line. She extended her jade-like hand toward Gu Xi. “Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation.”

Gu Xi glanced at her indifferently. She did not move at all. She only said coldly, “Lead the way.”

“…”

Being ignored, Su Lian could not help but feel a little awkward. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth. However, due to Gu Xi’s unfathomable strength, even though she had a bad temper, she could only suppress the urge to beat Gu Xi to death.

“Then let’s go.” Su Lian withdrew her hand and turned around to leave first.

The woman in white sized up Gu Xi a few times before following the rest of the group.

Sensing the woman in white’s gaze, Gu Xi looked over. His gaze could not help but linger on her plump body for a moment, but his brows raised slightly.

With Gu Xi’s current Saint stage, he could not see through this woman!

Either this woman’s realm was far higher than his, or this woman had some special spirit tool that could block the perception of others.

However, did an ordinary Liuli Sect disciple need to be so mysterious?

This woman… was obviously not simple.

For a moment, Gu Xi did not even know if it was right to cooperate with them. However, since he had already said it, there was naturally no reason to take it back.

Shaking his head, Gu Xi slowly followed.

Under the lead of Su Lian and the others, in order to rush to Safe Zone 3 as soon as possible, they took all kinds of shortcuts. At the same time, they deliberately avoided most of the demon beasts. Even if they still inevitably encountered demon beasts along the way, they also used lightning-fast methods to quickly kill them.

In less than half a day, a small town appeared at the end of their line of sight.

Gu Xi landed at the back of the team and looked at the east side of the town not far away. He could feel that the heaven and earth spiritual power there was extremely unstable and chaotic. It was obvious that a large-scale Secret Realm was about to appear.

Soon, they smoothly entered the town.

Looking around, it could be said that the town was full of people. All kinds of people were mixed here, and there were at least thousands of people.

Su Lian was right. Looking at the situation, the Secret Realm this time had indeed attracted most of the participants on the planar battlefield.

“It seems that we are not late.” Su Lian narrowed her eyes and smiled. Her gaze swept over the people around her.

Wherever she passed, everyone avoided her gaze. They did not dare to look directly at her.

“An unknown Secret Realm can actually attract so many people.”

Gu Xi curled his lips. He could not help but feel a little surprised.

The white-clothed woman by the side pursed her lips and smiled. She said softly, “Most of the people who came to participate in this competition actually did not have high hopes of advancing into the top 10. What they were more concerned about was that they would be able to earn a bucket of gold on this planar battlefield. The emergence of the Secret Realm, regardless of its size, would be an opportunity for them. If they were able to obtain one or two spirit tools passed down from the ancient times, then their trip would not have been in vain.”

Hearing this, Gu Xi could not help but nod in agreement.

Those disciples who came from ordinary sects indeed did not have the qualifications to compete with the large sects like the Liuli Sect or the Vast Expanse Sword Domain. Being able to obtain something they wanted here, was indeed a good thing.

With fewer points in their hands, naturally, no one would come looking for trouble.

A bold idea suddenly emerged in Gu Xi’s mind.

Individual sects might have fewer points, but with so many people…

When added together, it would be an astonishing number!

Of course, Su Lian and the others did not know what Gu Xi was planning. The group advanced all the way and soon arrived at the center of the small town.

In front of them stood a large building.

“I think there’s still some time before the Secret Realm opens. If I have nothing to do, I might as well come here and see what good things I can find. Maybe I’ll find something unexpected.”

Su Lian pointed at the building in front of her and took the lead to walk inside. “The auction in this planar battlefield is different from the ones outside. It might be smaller, but all the items auctioned are from the planar battlefield itself. In other words, every item you see is from ancient times.”

Gu Xi raised his eyebrows, and could not help but become interested.

The size of the auction house was indeed not big, and it could only accommodate a hundred people. Compared to the auction houses outside, which could easily accommodate thousands of people, it was indeed a little shabby.

However, no one here would dislike these things. No matter how shabby the place was, it could not resist selling good things!

Due to the Secret Realm, the auction hall was filled with people. There were at least 200 people in the hall, which could only accommodate about 100 people. The seats were filled with people, but there were still many people who could only stand.

When they saw Su Lian and the others, a few people immediately stood up in a hurry and fought to give up their seats for Su Lian and the others. Gu Xi, who was at the side, was naturally ignored. He was even squeezed into a corner without anyone noticing.

Gu Xi was a little speechless. However, beautiful women had special privileges wherever they went. He had to admit this, not to mention that there were five beautiful women.

Su Lian and the others were not surprised by these people’s solicitude. They did not forget to invite Gu Xi along as they sat down.

This scene was naturally noticed by many people around them. Numerous gazes filled with envy, jealousy, and even hatred instantly landed on Gu Xi.

Gu Xi was unmoved. He calmly sat beside Su Lian.

In the next moment, Gu Xi felt a soul-stirring softness on his arm.

At this moment, Su Lian smiled sweetly as she hugged Gu Xi’s arm. The two of them seemed exceptionally intimate and even somewhat ambiguous.

“Damn! Did you see that? Did you see that?!”

“Don’t touch me, I’m not blind!”

“Where did this guy come from? Why would Su Lian treat him… so…”

“This kid isn’t even half as handsome as me. Could it be that Miss Su likes this type of thing?”

“Oh my God! If only I was sitting next to her!”

All of a sudden, the male contestants could not help but wail out loud. If looks could kill, Gu Xi would have been cut into a thousand pieces by now.

Gu Xi, on the other hand, did not feel happy at all. He said coldly, “Let go.”

He did not want to provoke so many enemies just because of Su Lian’s simple action. Although he was not afraid of these people, it was better to avoid trouble.

“You don’t know what’s good for you.” Su Lian glared at Gu Xi fiercely and pulled her hand back with a snort.
