After Lu Zhaozhao left, she returned to the place where she had been waiting. When she arrived, two demon soldiers were already waiting for her there.

They took her to the rest area and told her that the competition would consist of three stages and would officially begin tomorrow. They asked her to prepare well and wait for the next day's announcement. After saying this, they closed the door and left.

Lu Zhaozhao watched the door close tightly and his tense shoulders relaxed.

She originally thought that borrowing the name of the Nüba tribe would make her less suspected in front of others, but since arriving in Minggong City, she first met Wen Sheng, who was hiding his identity, and then met the leaders of the eight tribes. She then learned so many secrets and was forcibly dragged into an alliance that seemed unreliable.

"Oh, things are really getting worse and worse..." She lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, feeling a little worried. What if the secluded Nüba tribe really got to know about this? What would she do then?

Her thoughts were so numerous that she felt extremely upset.

Amidst a whirlwind of thoughts, the day passed quickly.

There was a knock on the door, and noisy sounds came from not far away.

Lu Zhaozhao sat up, adjusted her collar, fixed her hairpin, put on her veil and walked out the door.

All the worries and worries were useless. Right now she had only one goal, to become a royal guard, get close to the Demon Lord to find out the truth, and then go back.

There was a hustle and bustle outside the door, with demons of various costumes and appearances gathered together. In the outside world, wearing a veil would definitely attract the attention of passers-by, but here they were dressed in very ordinary clothes.

The gathering place was a large open space outside the Ming Palace. In the center stood a raised platform, approximately ten meters in diameter, with a main seat in the middle and four seats arranged in two rows below.

There was no one sitting in the seats at this time, but a circle of demon soldiers surrounded the platform, and the outside was surrounded by three layers of people participating in the selection.

Lu Zhaozhao looked around and found that not only were the people on the stage not there, but the eight people from the eight major clans that he met yesterday were also not there.

After a while, the sound of armor shaking the ground was heard not far away. Two teams of demon soldiers came in an orderly manner to clear the way, walked all the way to the bottom of the platform, and then lined up on both sides.

Several people slowly approached the newly opened path. The leader wore golden armor inlaid with glittering gemstones of various colors, which sparkled brightly in the sunlight.

"This must be the elder from the Taifeng tribe."

There were people whispering around.

"Taifeng..." Lu Zhaozhao whispered. She remembered from ancient texts that Taifeng resembled a human with a tiger's tail, and preferred to reside on the sunny side of Zhenshan Mountain, where light shone forth when entering and leaving. Taifeng's spirit stirred the energy of heaven and earth.

She turned her head to look behind the man, but did not see the legendary tiger tail. Instead, she saw four people following him with such tails. They looked like members of the demon army under the command of the Taifeng tribe.

Maybe he has hidden it because of his high cultivation level, Lu Zhaozhao thought.

Following the five people of the Taifeng tribe were eight people headed by Cheng Sangjie and Qianhe.

Lu Zhaozhao looked at them with some curiosity: It was reasonable for Qianhe to stand in the front row. After all, he was sent by the Taifeng tribe, and the highest-ranking person among those present today was also from the Taifeng tribe. But it was a bit surprising that Cheng Sangjie was on the same level with him.

However, there was no desire to explore this accident soon because they separated soon after.

Taifeng and his five companions walked up to the platform and sat down. The eight clans walked into the crowd and stood in the first row.

A member of the Taifeng tribe stepped forward and announced loudly, "Today's competition will be presided over by Commander Taifeng. Now, let's announce the first round of the competition, which will be abacus calculation. Now, I will escort everyone to the arena. I wish you all good luck."

After he finished saying this, horizontal and vertical lines suddenly appeared on the ground, shining brightly, forming a chessboard.

The ground began to shake, cracks appeared, and dazzling beams of light shot out from underground.

The earth shook and people were in panic.

Lu Zhaozhao managed to steady himself and looked around.

Most demons would stagger here and there, struggling to keep their balance. But the people from the eight clans ahead were different. Although they were also staggering, their faces did not show the panic of the others; they could even be described as relaxed.

Lu Zhaozhao frowned. Did they know the content of the competition in advance?

It's impossible to think of this. The light in front of my eyes is getting more and more dazzling, even to the point where I can't see my fingers when I stretch my hand out. After staying in this environment for a long time, my eyes are a little dry and I can't see the scene in front of me clearly.

The images began to overlap, and the two worlds continued to overlap. Lu Zhaozhao gradually couldn't tell the difference between the competition field and the illusion, and wondered which one was the real world.

Everything in front of him turned black, and his eyelids became very heavy, so heavy that Lu Zhaozhao could only keep his eyes open for two more seconds, and then he could no longer see.

When she opened her eyes again, she was in another world. There was no one around, only her.
