After nine lifetimes of reincarnation, the yandere villainous heroine descends.

Twelve hours have passed in the Holy Battlefield.

Shen Shuchou discovered that he did not feel hungry or thirsty while in this place, as if this space could automatically maintain the basic needs of living beings.

However, the surrounding environment remained harsh, with the stench of blood ever-present. Under the crimson sky, the wind whipped up scorched earth, whistling past their ears with a chilling force.

The two never lingered in one place, keeping moving and vigilantly observing their surroundings.

"By the way, where are you from?"

Qi Yuan, standing beside him, suddenly spoke, breaking the silence, "I am from the Qi family of Tianlan City in Zhongzhou."

Upon hearing this, Shen Shuchou merely glanced at him indifferently and said nothing more.

Seeing this, Qi Yuan scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly and didn't ask any further questions.

After a moment of silence, Qi Yuan leaned closer and said earnestly, "I know you're no ordinary person. If you manage to get out of here alive, my Qi family will definitely repay you."

Shen Shuchou frowned slightly and turned to look at him: "How do you know I'm not an ordinary person?"

Qi Yuan grinned, revealing a row of neat white teeth: "It's intuition. My mother always says that the more unremarkable a person seems, the more likely they are to achieve great things."

He paused, then added, "When we were forming the team just now, some fellow townsmen from Tianlan City approached me, but I didn't agree."

"Your intuition is wrong."

Shen Shuchou looked away, his tone calm, "I'm just an ordinary person."

"Ordinary people can't get to this point."

Qi Yuan insisted.

Shen Shuchou ignored him and turned his gaze back to the bone mountain in the distance.

But at that moment, a blinding light suddenly shone from the sky, piercing through the crimson clouds like a sharp sword, instantly illuminating the entire holy battlefield.

Along with the light, a voice devoid of any emotion echoed in every corner of the battlefield.

"The first Dao Seal has appeared. Good luck to you."

"The Dao Seal! The Dao Seal has appeared! We must go there quickly!"

Qi Yuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately got up and ran towards the direction of the light.

"No rush." ​​Shen Shuchou reached out and pressed him down.

"Why?" Qi Yuan turned around, puzzled. "The Dao Seal has already appeared; if we don't go now, someone else will snatch it!"

"This is only the first one."

Shen Shuchou gazed calmly in the direction of the light. "Those going there now must be the teams. There are only two of us. To fight them head-on would be tantamount to walking into a trap."

Qi Yuan was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, he understood the danger involved. He had no choice but to suppress his impulse and sit down again.

"But we can go and take a look first."

Shen Shuchou changed the subject and stood up.

"Observe from a distance, see what Dao Yin looks like, and also observe the movements of those people."

Qi Yuan immediately nodded: "Okay!"

Soon, Shen Shuchou and Qi Yuan found the area where the Dao Seal had fallen.

Looking into the distance, a number of people had gathered on a relatively open expanse of scorched earth. Several of them had blood-stained clothes and obvious wounds on their arms or shoulders, clearly indicating that they had fought their way here.

All eyes were fixed on the center of the field.

A silver-white sword plunged straight into the ground, its blade gleaming coldly in the crimson sunlight.

A sharp and imposing aura surrounded him, spreading out like an invisible barrier, causing those who approached to subconsciously hold their breath.

"That... is that the Dao Seal?"

Qi Yuan lowered his voice and stared at the sword.

Shen Shuchou did not respond, his gaze fixed on the gathered crowd.

There were three groups of people present, facing each other in a triangular formation, and none of them dared to approach the sword rashly.

"Hmph! Our team arrived first, so according to the rules, this seal should belong to us!"

The leader of one group stepped forward, speaking arrogantly.

The words had barely left his mouth when someone from the other group immediately retorted, their voice dripping with undisguised sarcasm: "Bullshit! What rules does the Holy Battlefield have? Whoever grabs it first gets it. Do you think your rules can apply here?"

"Exactly! If you're so capable, steal it with your own strength, stop putting on airs!"

Someone from the other team chimed in, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

"Wu Shan, Lin Ping, I think you're asking for death!"

The richly dressed youth's eyes flashed with fierceness as he shouted sharply.

"Liu Cheng, don't think you can act so arrogantly just because you're a member of the Liu family!"

Wu Shan sneered and took a step forward. "This is the Holy Battlefield, not your Liu family's backyard. Even if we kill your Liu family today, so what?"

As he spoke, he turned to Lin Ping of the other team and raised his voice, "Lin Ping, why don't our two teams join forces and deal with this guy surnamed Liu first? We can discuss the ownership of this seal later, shall we?"

A flicker of consideration crossed Lin Ping's eyes, then he gritted his teeth and said, "I've long disliked Liu Cheng's attitude, I agree!"

Before the words were even finished, Wu Shan and Lin Ping's teams had already started fighting at the same time.

More than a dozen figures rushed towards Liu Cheng's team like arrows released from a bow.

Upon seeing this, Liu Cheng was filled with shock and anger, but he also retained the composure of a scion of a noble family, shouting sharply, "What's the panic! Fight your way out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Cheng took the lead and charged out, followed closely by his four companions, who all activated their cultivation and pounced on him.

In an instant, the area descended into chaos, with spiritual energy surging and the sounds of weapons slicing through the air filling the air.

Meanwhile, in the main hall outside, the eyes of all the elders were also fixed on the battlefield.

"Elder Chen, this sword looks somewhat similar to your Longsword. I suppose you're the one who placed it in the Holy Battlefield?"

An elder stroked his beard and joked with a smile, "Whoever manages to obtain this Dao Seal will perfectly become your disciple!"

The old man, known as Elder Chen, stroked his white beard, his eyes filled with anticipation: "Hehe... I think that young Liu Cheng has a solid foundation. Although he's a bit arrogant, he has a ruthless streak. He's quite a good prospect."

As they were talking, someone suddenly pointed to the figure behind the broken wall of the Water Mirror: "What's that kid doing? Hiding in the shadows without moving, is he perhaps planning to sit back and watch the tigers fight, waiting for them to both be exhausted before reaping the benefits?"

Upon hearing this, many elders turned their gazes to Shen Shuchou, their expressions varying.

"Hmph, this boy is too reserved in his actions, he is definitely not as simple as he seems, there must be something strange going on."

Another elder's expression darkened, and his tone became clearly hostile.

"If he dies on the Holy Battlefield, it will save us trouble. But if he comes out alive, I will personally investigate his background!"

That's enough.

The white-haired old woman spoke slowly.

"The trial is not over yet. Let's wait and see. Qingxuan Holy Land selects capable disciples, not those who only follow the rules."

Her gaze swept over the elders, finally settling on the scorched earth of the chaotic battle reflected in the water mirror, her eyes deep and unfathomable.

Inside the Holy Battlefield, Liu Cheng and his group initially managed to suppress Wu and Lin's teams for a short time thanks to their tacit cooperation.

Liu Cheng has been immersed in cultivation since childhood. A year ago, he broke through the Innate Realm and entered the Foundation Establishment Realm, making him one of the top combatants among this group of teenagers.

However, Wu Shan and Lin Ping's teams together had a total of ten people, including many cultivators at the Innate Realm, and the two of them were even half-step Foundation Establishment cultivators. With their cooperation, they gradually turned the tide.

In particular, Wu Shan and Lin Ping kept Liu Cheng occupied, making it difficult for him to take care of his companions.

Before long, two of Liu Cheng's men had died tragically in the chaotic battle, and the remaining two were exhausted and covered in wounds.

Liu Cheng himself gradually became powerless, and the fluctuations of his spiritual energy became more and more chaotic. Faced with the joint attack of Wu and Lin, he was unable to defend himself.
