As they spoke, a variety of vehicles set forth on their journeys, heading toward the branch venue located a hundred miles away, either via the roads or through the sky.

This particular branch venue was situated in a vast expanse of wilderness with a deer platform tens of meters tall towering in the mining area. Young talents from all walks of life were neatly arranged around the platform.

Farewell spectators did not have the privilege to approach the platform; they were stopped about ten miles away, left to watch the promising youths head toward the platform.

Lu Songsheng brought the bronze carriage to a halt and let Qi Tian disembark. In the eyes of both Lu Songsheng and Yi Xuwen, deep expectations were vested in Qi Tian. Over the past century, Wanjie City had found no suitable candidates to participate in the Holy Land’s grand competition, making Qi Tian the bearer of their immense hopes.

In Huang Liuyan’s gaze, along with expectations, there was also a trace of worry. Although she had full confidence in Qi Tian, who could guarantee that no accidents would happen in the grand competition of the Holy Land? If an event exceeded Qi Tian’s abilities, it might very well put him in danger.

Without waiting for Huang Liuyan to express her concerns, Qi Tian patted her shoulder and said, “Senior Sister, don’t worry about me. No matter the circumstance, my safety will always be my priority. You just wait and see the treasures I’ll bring back from the grand competition of the Holy Land for you.”

Yi Xuwen said, “Great Elder, during your absence, I will take good care of Huang Liuyan. I won’t let anyone bully her. You just focus on competing in the Holy Land’s grand competition. Within your capability, seize every opportunity you can, leaving none for others.”

Lu Songsheng also chimed in with a bit of advice, “Great Elder, measure your strength in all matters; if it’s possible not to conflict with the promising youths of the Holy Land, it’s best to avoid conflict with them. We are of noble status and should not stoop to their level.”

Qi Tian knew Lu Songsheng’s words were well-intentioned. Smiling, he nodded and said, “I have been tremendously cared for by Vice President Lu on this journey. Should I return triumphantly from the grand competition in the Holy Land, I shall ensure that Vice President Lu and Wanjie Commerce have a share in my gains.”

Elated beyond expectation, Lu Songsheng quickly replied, “If that’s the case, it would be an honor for Wanjie Commerce.”

Before Qi Tian and the others could say more, Xiu Zhengyu shouted from the side, “Gather up! No dawdling and gossiping like women. It’s just a competition, nothing much to fuss about. Hurry and assemble!”

Qi Tian clasped his hands towards Huang Liuyan, Yi Xuwen, Lu Songsheng, and the others, and then turned to leave.

Xiu Zhengyu, Gao Yuqiu, and others were already assembled, waiting to merge with everyone else before heading together toward the Deer Platform.

This time the three small teams did not split; He Hongxia, Gao Yuqiu, and their sister stood together, expressionless, showing neither joy nor sorrow on their faces.

Those gathered around them occasionally stole glances at the three sisters, clearly demonstrating that even at such a time, He Hongxia and her sisters never ceased to use their charm to influence and control their followers to some extent.

Soon, the three small teams headed by the three sisters, He Hongxia, had assembled completely. He Hongxia spoke with an impassive face, “Let’s go. First, we shall register at the Deer Platform, then queue up and prepare to enter the venue of the Holy Land’s grand competition. Remember my warning: here, we must follow the rules, and absolutely avoid causing trouble. We don’t want to be dragged down by you and subsequently lose our chance to participate in the grand competition. We have all worked hard to get here, and we must not lose our qualification over trivial issues.”

Seeing everyone nod, He Hongxia released her flying sword, leaped onto it, and flew towards the Deer Platform ahead of everyone else.

Seeing this, the others also released their flying swords, following behind He Hongxia, heading toward the Deer Platform as well.

He Hongxia’s flying speed was not fast; she did not compete with others in this regard, strictly adhering to the earlier admonitions of her master, avoiding conflicts and competition for the time being to prevent unnecessary complications.

He Hongxia’s caution was not without reason. Though the distance from their starting point to the Deer Platform was a mere ten miles, during such a short span, there were those who sought to show off their strength, engaging in competition with others. Had it just been simple competition, that would have been fine, but some even developed road rage, escalating from mere rivalry to outright violent conflict.

No sooner had the conflict arisen, and before it could escalate further, the Holy Land’s Law Enforcement Team flew over. Without giving anyone a chance to explain, they simply apprehended everyone involved in the dispute.

Some thought that the worst the Holy Land would do was expel the conflicted parties, but reality soon revealed a harsh truth: the Holy Land’s punishments at this time were extremely severe. The instigators and the leaders of the respective small teams were stripped of their Dantians, and their Gold Cores were shattered, cutting off their paths to cultivation. Although the other team members did not have their Gold Cores shattered, their Storage Bags were confiscated, leaving them penniless, before they were then expelled from the land.
