In truth, Xu Yi knew very well that no matter how fierce his wording was, there was no way this crowd would obey orders to the letter.
After all, there was too little time, and he had not intimidated them. He had gathered this group together in the first place only to serve as a deterrent.
As it turned out, this tactic worked remarkably well.
Three hundred breaths passed in a flash. Before he could give any orders, everyone scattered of their own accord. Before long, two men darted southeast, clearly having spotted a singularity, without even informing Xu Yi, the man in charge.
At once, the crowd surged toward that direction. Xu Yi, the man in charge, was left trailing at the back because his cultivation was the lowest and his movement speed the slowest.
However, the rules on the light panel had clearly stated that singularities would appear within ten li of the top ten. So even though Xu Yi was slow to arrive, the ten-li distance meant he would not fall too far behind.
When Xu Yi arrived, more than twenty cultivators were fighting desperately over three specks of light, each resembling a firefly. The battle was fierce.
The firefly-like lights seemed ethereal and weightless, swaying constantly as everyone attacked. They could not be captured easily.
"Senior, these people don't know what's good for them. They've come to steal our singularities. Please decide what to do."
Yellow Beard shouted loudly.
Xu Yi wished he could curse him out on the spot. Now you remember me, do you? Instead, he said, "You youngsters, get out of my way. I've set my sights on these three singularities. Anyone who dares fight me for them dies." Before his words had even faded, he displayed the light panel on his wrist.
