So, now put aside Shen Yingyao, stand in Shen Qifeng's position, and think about how he should design the secret realm of this competition from the perspective of purely for Xingzhou's face.

If this secret realm really reproduces all the towns around here, not to mention whether there are so many normally developing towns in the no-man's land, it is just for a competition, to build such a large secret realm, and then to maintain it, it seems overkill.

Moreover, one hundred and thirty monks competed for ten flags, just to let everyone take the initiative to attack, make the game more intense, and use more maps to disperse everyone, which is obviously contrary to this original intention. And there's really no need to write too much about the term "the highest place in the secret realm", so that everyone can run through all the places in the secret realm in order to find the end.

What's more, the area of the city itself, combined with the wilderness around it, is already large enough.

Therefore, the biggest possibility is that the city of the occult is the "main battlefield" of this competition.

However, why did Shen Qifeng put the competition in the past occultation city? What good would it do him to let these monks compete here?

This is also the only point that Qin Hao can't understand.

She didn't believe that Shen Qifeng could bother for the overall glory of Xingzhou, so he must have his intentions in building this secret realm with the background of the Hidden Sun City.

According to Ye Yousheng, Shen Yingyao didn't know anything about this secret realm, and since entering the secret realm, everything in the Occult Sun City and the demon devouring was full of weirdness.

But no matter how real it is, this place is only an illusion after all, not a real past, they will not change any future here, and it is impossible to save the "dead city" that is now covered in yellow sand.

Can it be preliminarily believed that Shen Qifeng himself also had doubts about some old things in the Occultation City, so he wanted to restore some details at that time through this secret realm? And these missing details are very important to Shen Qifeng, so in order not to miss any details, he will definitely send the people around him to monitor the situation in the secret realm from the outside at all times, and even take action to affect this secret realm himself, and change according to the direction he needs.

"What's wrong, Vera?" Zheng Yunwan saw that Qin Zhen didn't speak for a long time, and said with concern.

"It's the first time I've gone far away, and I didn't expect the city to be so prosperous, so I'm a little distracted." Qin Hao showed a shy smile.

"Gee, what are these?" Zheng Yunwan covered her mouth and chuckled, "Sister will take you to see better things."

"Huh? Okay, thank you, Sister Wan." Qin Zhen blinked, her eyes were very clear, and she looked innocent and deceitful.

Zheng Yunmin glanced at the two of them from the side, his expression was always cold, and he didn't want to join their conversation, but his hand stroked the axe on his waist from time to time.

"Does Vera know about the Demon Eater?" Zheng Yunwan asked.

"I haven't heard of it." Qin Zhen shook her head.

"This demon devourer is the most ferocious monster in the world. They have no consciousness of their kind, no bonds of kinship, and will only kill according to their instincts, gnawing at their own kind to sustain their own lives." Zheng Yunwan's voice was soft, "They are creatures that bear sins, but they don't repent, so we need us to atone for their sins and use their blood to paint the most beautiful color of the ceremony."

This statement, compared with the sentence that Zheng Yunwan said that the people in the Occult Sun City all want to atone for their sins, is really subtle and makes people sigh.

"So you're the executioners of the Demon Eater? The Devourer will stay in their lair, waiting for you to come to their door to judge their sins, and then use your sword to make them atone?"

Qin Hao's words were sarcastic, but the expression on her face was very sincere, as if she was just asking her own questions.

Zheng Yunwan narrowed her eyes slightly, and the expression on her face turned cold for a moment, but she quickly laughed: "But no, this word is really appropriate, we are the executioners of the Demon Devourer."

As they spoke, they had come to a fence.

The fence was more than ten meters high, and although it looked like it was just ordinary wood, Qin Zhen felt the imprint of the formation from it.

Zheng Yunwan pointed her finger on the fence, and the fence slowly opened automatically, opening a gap for them that was just large enough for one person to enter.

"This is it, please let our guests come in." Zheng Yunwan smiled and made a "please" gesture.

Qin Hao walked in under the watchful eyes of the two sisters, and when they also entered, the fence slammed shut again, casting only a thick shadow on the ground.

The farther you go, the stronger the smell of blood, and the dimmer of daylight, as if something obscured it.

At the end of the road, a tall tower appeared in front of them.

As soon as Qin Hao was about to lift her feet, a demon-devouring corpse fell from the tower and smashed in front of her.

The corpse of the Demon Devourer was smashed in half, and blood mixed with internal organs splashed onto Qin Hao's shoes and calves.

She looked up, and at the top of the tower, a window was open, and a man was peering down, apparently he had just thrown the Demon Eater down.

"Xiao Yang, why are you so careless, don't scare our guests." Zheng Yunwan shouted at him.

The man waved his hand again and again, opened his mouth to say something, but his voice was too small, Zheng Yunwan didn't hear what he said clearly, so he could only make a warning gesture to him.

Qin Zhen heard the man say, "I didn't throw it, it jumped down on its own." She crouched down and gently stroked her fingers over the corpse of the Demon Eater: "Is this the Demon Eater?"

"Yes." Zheng Yunwan couldn't see Qin Hao's expression, but based on her experience, she guessed that Qin Hao thought that the Demon Devourer looked harmless and not like a murderous appearance, so she smiled, "Don't be fooled by its appearance. Many people who have come to our Occult City from other places thought we were making a big fuss when they first saw the Demon Eater, but then they all died in the belly of the Demon Eater and became their food."

Qin Zhen had already heard Ye Yousheng talk about what happened when people watched the Demon Devouring Cannibalism in the Sun Occultation Sect and what happened in the Demon Devouring Lair. But hearing about it and seeing it with your own eyes are two completely different feelings.

The Eater's white eyes hadn't closed yet, staring straight at her.

Qin Hao's eyes throbbed inexplicably, and when she covered the eyes of the devouring demon with her hand, the pain disappeared in an instant.

"But though it is dead, its sins have not been removed, but it deserves a heavier judgment because of its private death." Zheng Yunwan beckoned, and someone else stopped what they were doing from the side and ran to remove the corpse of the devouring demon.

"But unlike the Demon Eater, who can be murderous, we must always have a benevolent heart. Therefore, the sins of this demon eater will be engraved into its flesh and blood with its death, and then eaten by other demon eaters, and its sins will be inflicted on those demon eaters." Zheng Yunwan said softly.

Her voice sounded a little light, like she was humming a ballad.

"Can I go and see the Eaters who are still alive?" Qin Hao stood up and no longer looked at the corpse that had been removed.

"Do you want to change your clothes first?" Your shoes and the hem of your clothes are stained." Zheng Yunwan pointed to the room on the left-hand side, "There are clothes prepared for visitors to visit, so that they can not be contaminated by the dirt in the tower."

"No trouble, so be it." Qin Zhen rejected her offer.

"Then I'll listen to you." Zheng Yunwan didn't insist, so she took Qin Zhen into the tower.

"I won't go in, I'll wait for you outside." Zheng Yunmin, who had not spoken, said suddenly.

Zheng Yunwan glanced back at Zheng Yunmin worriedly, but after seeing the coldness on Zheng Yunmin's face, she could only turn around helplessly and did not do anything to persuade her.

Qin Hao never looked back, but the moment she stepped into the tower, her fingers moved slightly, and the jade slip given to her by the future Zheng Yunmin flickered past her fingertips.

The glimmer of Jade Jane is not worth mentioning in the daylight, but it is particularly bright in the dark.

Zheng Yunwan, who entered the tower in advance, didn't see this bright light, but Zheng Yunmin, who was behind Qin Zhen, saw this scene clearly.

She opened her mouth, as if she wanted to stop Qin Hao, but Qin Zhen walked extremely fast, and the jade Jane just shook for a moment, and then walked into the tower with her, covered by the unknown darkness.

Zheng Yunmin frowned, her fingers rubbing on the axe again and again, until her fingertips were unconsciously cut, and the pain of the wound stimulated her to come back to her senses, and she looked at the tower again.

"How could she have that jade slip?" Zheng Yunmin muttered.

Although it was only for a brief moment, she would never admit that she was mistaken.

It was the jade slip that the city lord secretly gave her before he died, begging her to help keep it. If one day the city is destroyed, then hopefully she will give the jade slip to the first monk she meets at that time who comes from outside and is willing to take her away.

Because the identity of the city lord is very sensitive, and she is now favored by the sect master, doing things for the sect master and the young sect master. Therefore, she never mentioned this jade slip to anyone, not even her own sister. z.br>

She was very sure that this jade slip was hidden on her own body now, so how did Qin Zhen get the identical jade slip?

A little anxious in his heart, Zheng Yunmin looked up at the towering black tower again, gritted his teeth, and walked in.

Before figuring out the matter of Yu Jian, Qin Zhen couldn't have an accident.

Anyway, there are still a few days before the grand ceremony, as long as these days can be resolved, everything will be fine. What if her jade slip is real...... It's a big deal to tell the sect master to change the candidate.

They all knew the truth of the ceremony, and they thought that the sect master should not care about the replacement, and when the time came, they would just need to find a monk with the same cultivation as Qin Zhen to replace her.
