No More Threats

Under Lu Bai's Mahayana stage- level divine sense scan, the deathmatch fighters with their titles gleaming above their heads had nowhere to hide.

But after searching for a while, he was no longer in a hurry to do anything to those death fighters.

"Has the gap grown so large without me even realizing it?" Lu Bai muttered to himself.

He was hovering in the clouds, looking down at the city below.

In the city below, the two combatants he marked with his Mana didn't even have any cultivation level.

It could be determined that these two fighters were hiding in the city, intending to find an opportunity to join the immortal sect that originally governed the city, but they had not yet succeeded.

During his half-day search, he discovered that those who knew of such a predicament were not isolated cases.

Even among those who have joined various immortal sects and obtained cultivation techniques, very few have reached the Foundation Establishment stage; most are still stuck in the Qi Refining stage.

With such a vast disparity in skill, if he were to engage in another Deathmatch Showdown, it seemed unnecessary for him to focus his attention on the opponent.

It's important to know that, aside from the first two rounds of Deathmatch Showdown where Lu Bai would feel threatened by his opponents, once he obtained the [save/load] ability, the threat from his deathmatch opponents was reduced to a minimum.

Now, he hasn't used [save/load] much in this Deathmatch Showdown; he's simply relied on his accumulated talent stats and his own abilities to leave the other deathmatch fighters far behind.

Whether it's a random Ability Pool or a training system available in the Deathmatch Arena, he can crush his opponents in either aspect.

No matter what the fighter does, it no longer poses a threat to him.

Lu Bai stared blankly into space for a while before chuckling to himself, "No wonder I haven't had a single deathmatch fighter come looking for me even after I've had the 'Node' for so long."

Invincibility came too quickly, so I guess I have to find something to do, like trying to change the world.

He snapped his fingers, and the Mana marks left on some of the deathmatchers instantly boiled over, silently erasing their lives.

[Bite!]

[Points +46, Current Points: 50, Current Rank: 1/167]

The long-lost mechanical notification sound rang in Lu Bai's mind.

The score he earned showed that he had only taken down a portion of the death row fighters, less than half of those he had marked.

He only eliminated the Replicant he had identified. As for the dozens of combatants he had marked with Mana, he couldn't be sure of their identities yet, so naturally he wouldn't, and didn't need to, make a move immediately.

Li Mu, who was focused on cultivating in the Qingwang Sect, was suddenly awakened. He was so frightened by the sight of the more than twenty death fighters who had suddenly disappeared from the system interface that he almost went berserk.

"Holy crap!"

Li Mu clicked his tongue inwardly, and after a moment, he muttered thoughtfully, "It must have been done by that big shot, right?"

Thinking of this, he closed his eyes and felt that he had barely reached the Qi Refining Layer Four after several months of focused cultivation, and he couldn't help but feel a little mentally broken.

Li Mu gave a bitter smile, "Is this the meaning of my cultivation?"

After this ordeal, he was no longer able to concentrate on his cultivation, so he got up and left the cultivation room, deciding to go to the back mountain to pass the time by fishing.

Li Mu wasn't the only fighter devastated by this cruel reality.

After all, Lu Bai had never intended to hide anything, whether it was the laws he promoted or his experiences in this world of cultivation.

All of this allowed the deathmatch fighters to guess Heavenly Venerate Lu's identity.

It may seem unbelievable, but it is indeed an undeniable reality.

So in the blink of an eye, more than twenty death fighters scattered throughout Xuanzhou perished, and the remaining death fighters could all guess who was responsible.

Moreover, compared to Li Mu, who had spent some time with Lu Bai, the other fighters who had only heard rumors and had no direct contact with Lu Bai were obviously much more fearful.

Taixuan Holy Land.

Several newly initiated disciples gathered together without prior arrangement.

"You guys all know, right?" The young man with phoenix eyes glanced at the several deathmatch fighters in front of him.

Before the words could fall to the ground, the fighter beside him chimed in, "I thought that guy was some kind of benevolent philanthropist, but when he started fighting, it was terrifying."

The deathmatcher in jeans stroked his chin. "I was worried this would happen, so I exchanged communication tokens with quite a few like-minded people."

"What's the meaning?"

"I already questioned them when this happened, and conservatively speaking, these twenty-odd unlucky guys are spread across at least half the map."

Upon hearing this, the several deathmatchers present all gasped in shock.

"At the same time, spanning the entire Xuanzhou?" The young man with phoenix eyes sensed the seriousness of the situation, his expression extremely solemn.

They didn't know exactly how big Xuanzhou was.

But one thing is certain: they absolutely cannot contend with Lu Bai, who is capable of doing such a thing.

Anyway, I've decided to become that person's lackey.

The fighter in jeans spread his hands. "It's fate that we're all disciples of the same immortal sect. Since we've encountered such a monster, we definitely can't win by playing around. I advise you all to go and surrender as soon as possible; maybe you can even make it into the top ten."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left, pondering how to get to the Qingwang Sect the fastest.

Seeing this, the remaining fighters exchanged glances, and each could see a hint of interest in the other's eyes.

After chatting briefly for a while, they went their separate ways.

It wasn't just these few fighters.

Nearly half of the deathmatch participants had this idea sooner or later.

The gap is simply too large. Even a fighter who has mastered two or three different colored abilities would find it difficult to fight against a cultivator in the Mahayana stage.

Not to mention that Lu Bai possesses significantly more abilities than them, leaving the surviving fighters with no choice but to surrender.

Lu Bai returned to the Qingwang Sect before nightfall.

One could see hundreds of monks dressed in black robes already neatly lined up in the square in front of the hall.

Each member of the team exudes an extraordinary aura; the weakest among them is a powerful being at the Integration stage.

These are some of the Inspection Team members who received orders from Lu Bai in advance and came to await their command.

The moment they watched Lu Bai land on the Dao Seeking Stone, they shouted in unison, "Loyalty! Sincerity!"

Lu Bai waved his hand, indicating that the elderly men and women did not need to be so polite.

He went straight to the point, saying, "I need you to travel to the various immortal sects and the cities under their jurisdiction to temporarily act as transport."

"May I ask, Heavenly Venerable, is there any rare and precious treasure that needs to be transported?" The Third Supreme of the Golden Scale Holy Land asked boldly.

Lu Bai didn't explain much about the Deathmatchers: "Just tell them I'm waiting for them. Every time you arrive at a new place, just spread the word. If nothing unexpected happens, someone will come looking for you. You just need to bring these people back here."
