Once I enter the pass, great Confucian scholars will surely debate the classics for me.

The Blue Silver Squad observed the battlefield unfold from a pile of rocks fifty miles away, searching for an opportunity to strike.

Although they couldn't see the specific battle situation clearly, the number and location of the three teams were exposed because each of them had a thin red antenna that fell from the sky above their heads.

Even if they are hundreds of miles apart, they can judge the stage of the battle based on the number of thin red antennas.

Once the three Lan ghosts feel the time is right, they will lead their team to wipe out both teams in one fell swoop.

However, the situation has now changed.

The red lines that marked the positions of the three teams suddenly disappeared all at once after appearing for a quarter of an hour.

This threw the Blue Silver Squad into a brief state of chaos. Because they were relatively far away, they wanted to sit back and watch the fight, but they didn't expect to lose sight of the two squads and be unable to keep track of their movements.

Lan Yinwen, the second son of the Lan family, had anticipated this. The rules of the qualifying rounds were very clear: the participating teams would reveal their positions periodically, rather than constantly.

He wouldn't overlook such small details, and naturally he had prepared a second plan: "What's the commotion? Everything is under my control. We've only temporarily lost sight of each other."

"The other two squads are already in a state of imminent engagement, and the battle will begin soon."

"At that time, we will regain control of the movements of the two squads. Based on the sounds of fighting on the battlefield, we will be able to determine their location, while they will not be able to pinpoint our exact location."

"The situation remains very favorable to us."

"However, we can't stay here any longer. We must change locations to avoid being ambushed."

At this point, Lan Yinwen turned his gaze to his elder brother, Lan Yinhuang: "Captain, what do you think?"

Lan Yinhuang said calmly, "We'll do as you say."

I didn't change positions before because it would be pointless.

Everyone is exposed, so no one can launch a sneak attack on either side under these circumstances.

Now things are different. Now that everyone's positions are hidden again, it's impossible to grasp the basic movements of any team. Therefore, changing positions and concealing the location of one's own team becomes extremely necessary.

At the suggestion of Lan Yinwen, the second son of the Lan family.

The Blue Silver Squad quietly advanced towards the last point where both squads lost sight of each other. There was no need to go too fast; as long as they moved quietly and slowly, keeping the team concealed and mobile, that would be enough.

They only need to wait for the two teams to engage in a fierce battle and be too preoccupied to pay attention to anything else, then they can quietly sneak up to the surrounding area and seize the opportunity to wipe out both teams in one fell swoop.

The situation changed rapidly, and this sudden change caused considerable trouble for the Blue Silver Squad. However, the situation was still very favorable for the Blue Silver Squad, but it posed a huge problem for the Awakening Squad.

Because the Awakening Squad lost sight of Wu Juexing, it meant that Huo Luan didn't know where to put the large-scale destructive spell 'Purgatory Burning City Technique' that she had prepared. She couldn't just use it at point-blank range.

If the Fire Phoenix unleashes its ultimate attack at point-blank range, the enemy will certainly die, but the Fire Phoenix will also perish along with them.

"Damn it." Wu Juexing clenched his fists, cursing himself for being stupid. How could he have overlooked such an important detail? No wonder the enemy squad dared to rush directly towards him; they had assumed their position wouldn't be exposed for long.

Fortunately, he had taken precautions and sent six squad members to intercept them.

Once the two sides engage in combat, they will immediately obtain the enemy's location.

"Captain, do I need to continue?" Huo Luan sat cross-legged on the grass, multitasking, asking Wu Jue Xing while continuing to form hand seals.

Releasing the Purgatory Burning City Technique requires forming 3,600 hand seals, averaging six hand seals per second. If the order is wrong, all efforts will be wasted, making it a true test of the caster's magical talent.

Wu Juexing said, "Continue. Although the situation has changed, that's how the battlefield is. Nothing ever goes according to plan. Change is the norm. We just need to find opportunities in the midst of change."

"Fire Phoenix, your Purgatory Burning City Technique is the key to our victory. Given the chance, we can wipe out the enemy squad instantly without taking any damage. So, get ready and wait for my orders."

Huo Luan nodded slightly: "Yes, Captain."

Huo Luan is the only ghoul in the Awakening Squad who is proficient in large-scale destructive spells.

All we need to do is create the conditions for her to perform the spell.

In certain situations, it can be a game-changer.

Its destructive power is extremely terrifying, capable of destroying the world.

Wu Jue Xing's tactics are simple: know the enemy's location, then have Huo Luan use her magic to deliver a fatal blow from a great distance, and then lead the team into the fray to reap the kills. It's simple, brutal, and extremely effective.

Wu Juexing tapped the catastrophic artifact 'communication bracelet', and the bracelet projected a scarlet projection with six small red dots on it. These six small red dots represented the locations of his six teammates.

She brought the communication bracelet closer and relayed the new order: "Canary, the plan has changed slightly. The six of you should keep an eye on the enemy squad's movements. If you spot them, there's no need to engage them or expose yourselves. Return immediately."

The canary replied, "Received."

"receive."

"receive."

"receive……"

The six female cultivators hid ten miles ahead, each at a distance from the others, in different positions, crisscrossing each other to ensure that anyone passing through the area would be discovered.

They each used their own methods to hide their locations: some disguised themselves as birds, some blended into tree trunks, some hid in the swamp, and some used invisibility spells...

The canary used an invisibility spell to observe her surroundings, but the quiet environment made it impossible for her to concentrate.

Thoughts always tend to wander, and some unpleasant memories surface.

Her beauty is as striking as her name, and she also has a fiancé who loves her very much.

My fiancé is great; apart from being powerless, penniless, and without influence, he's perfect in every way.

To support her cultivation, her fiancé risked his life outside, spending almost all the money he earned on her. In two years, he earned 500,000 magic coins, which was considered extremely outstanding by other cultivators in the Food Calamity Realm.

But the canary wanted far more than that.

She wants to make a name for herself, she wants to be superior to others, she wants to marry a powerful and wealthy person. In order to live the life she wants, she is willing to sacrifice everything and abandon everything.

So after squeezing all of her fiancé's money dry, she decisively chose to break off the engagement. Her fiancé couldn't bear the blow, his soul was corrupted, and he fell into demonic ways, dying a gruesome death.

She remained unmoved and never regretted it. Even though she had personally caused the death of the man who loved her most in the world, she always watched her fiancé die with a blank expression, never feeling a trace of guilt or unease.

She even thought it was a good thing; her fiancé was dead and wouldn't bother her anymore.

After this incident, she used the money she had squeezed from her fiancé to travel a long distance to participate in the Heavenly Pride Competition, all in an effort to climb the Heavenly Ranking. Once she reached the Heavenly Ranking, all her wishes would come true.

The powerful and wealthy will pursue her because of her fame and beauty, flattering and fawning over her, and will spare no expense to marry her. Moreover, her name as a canary will be sung throughout the turbid world.

She will become radiant, standing above all living beings, enjoying the worship and praise of the world. Power, status, wealth, and identity will all become readily available to her.

At this moment, Du Yanran from Nanzhao City arrived alone, landing on a tree trunk not far away and observing her surroundings.

The canary, perched atop a higher tree trunk, gazed at Du Yanran not far away, thinking to herself: "The enemy has been spotted. The captain said there's no need to intercept them, just report their location. In that case, let's retreat."

She was completely unaware that a group of blood-red worms had silently crawled onto the tree trunk where she was.

The Gu worms quickly merged together and became another Du Yanran.

Du Yanran was like a seasoned cunning old fox. She simply raised her hand, and a large number of Gu worms flew out from her sleeve, instantly enveloping the hidden canary.

The canary's face was contorted with pain and disbelief. She opened her mouth wide, wanting to scream, but a large number of Gu worms surged into her throat, preventing her from even letting out a scream. She could only endure the Gu worms gnawing at her flesh.

"Foolish woman, you don't even know how to conceal your own scent when you're invisible." Du Yanran looked calmly at the canary, and with a casual wave of her hand, another substitute not far away immediately dispersed into countless Gu worms, which flew back into Du Yanran's body.

“My Gu worms could smell the expensive perfume on you from a hundred paces away.”

"Alright, stop struggling. Once you're bitten by my Gu worm, your brain won't be able to control your body. But luckily, you'll retain all your senses and slowly enjoy the process of dying."

Upon hearing this, the canary looked at Du Yanran with pain in her eyes, her eyes filled with regret but no intention of begging for mercy.

Because she knew this was a life-or-death battle; losing meant death, and no amount of begging would help.

She only regretted using face powder. In a life-or-death battle, what was the point of applying perfume and face powder? A small oversight caused the hunter to become the prey, turning into someone else's stepping stone.

She could only plead with Du Yanran with her eyes for a quick death.

Du Yanran crossed her hands and hid them in her sleeves, quietly watching the canary being eaten by her bloodthirsty worms.

In Nanzhao City, the Du family is renowned throughout the world for their Gu worms. While others raise Gu worms outside their bodies, the Du family raises them inside their own bodies. The Du family is synonymous with the Gu worms, and the Gu worms are synonymous with the Du family.

Du Yanran, the most outstanding genius girl of the Du clan, looks glamorous and no different from ordinary beauties, but her body is actually composed of Gu worms.

Du Yanran is indeed not good at frontal battles, but assassinating enemies in the forest is exactly what she excels at. That is why Zhou Qingfeng sent her to clear out the outer enemies.

Once the canary had been completely devoured, Du Yanran formed a hand seal to summon back the Gu worms and said calmly, "Xiao Hongyun, how long are you planning to watch the show? If you're not putting in any effort, I'll tell the captain."

On the tree trunk beside Du Yanran, a stream of quicksand rapidly spun and condensed into Xiao Hongyun.

Xiao Hongyun still held a bloody female cultivator's head in his hand: "Who said I didn't put in the effort? You think you've won? Haven't you heard of the saying 'the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind'?"

"There's another one hiding next to you."

"If it weren't for my Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife instantly killing her, you would be dead by now."

"You were just acting all high and mighty, saying others were brainless. I think you're the brainless one."

Du Yanran frowned slightly. She was scolded by Xiao Hongyun, but she wasn't angry because Xiao Hongyun had saved her life from the shadows. So she just hummed in agreement and said, "I know, I'll be more careful next time."

Seeing this, Xiao Hongyun casually tossed the female cultivator's head into his storage bag: "Let's go. There are still four nearby to kill. We must finish them off quickly. Ye Tingxiu's side probably won't last long."

Both of them were elusive and elusive cultivators who possessed the ability to kill with a single blow.

Fighting in the forest gave them a significant advantage, especially since it was still dark and they had the advantage of timing. Furthermore, the two of them were working together, so they had the advantage of favorable conditions. They had all the advantages of timing, location, and people.

Before they were exposed, they were truly invincible, like the Grim Reaper, silently reaping the lives of their enemies. Even if Zhou Qingfeng faced a sneak attack from these two, the outcome would probably be at most fifty-fifty.

When Xiao Hongyun and Du Yanran were ordered to kill the six female cultivators of the Awakening Squad.

Ye Tingxiu, Duan Hongsu, and Tantai Minglan were ordered to move towards the location of the three Lan family ghosts, creating the illusion that they were about to be attacked, thus forcing the Lan family team to adopt a defensive posture or adjust their deployment.

Meanwhile, Zhou Qingfeng, along with Cheng Wuquan, circled around and attacked Wu Juexing and Huo Luan, quickly ending the battle. Together with Xiao Hongyun and Du Yanran, they attacked the remaining enemies from both sides, wiping out the Juexing squad in a swift attack.

Then Ye Tingxiu and his two companions could retreat, luring the three ghosts of the Lan family to the pre-set ambush. Zhou Qingfeng, along with Xiao Hongyun, Cheng Wuquan, and Du Yanran, would then lay in ambush in advance to cooperate with Ye Tingxiu and his companions in a counter-encirclement and annihilation.

In this way, both squads can be wiped out completely, leaving no one alive.

This was a combat plan that Zhou Qingfeng temporarily adjusted on the road after the situation of his location being exposed disappeared.

Although the plan wasn't very detailed, it was the best solution Zhou Qingfeng came up with on the spot. If he had another hour, no, half an hour, he could have come up with an even more perfect solution.

But the enemy is already in action and won't wait for him to make up his mind before attacking.

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Ye Tingxiu, Duan Hongsu, and Tantai Minglan were ordered to launch a feint attack on the Blue Silver Squad. They rushed towards the direction where the Blue Silver Squad had last disappeared. As expected, both sides spotted each other when they were a hundred feet apart.

The entire Blue Silver Squad tensed up and fell silent instantly.

The three Lan brothers gestured for their teammates to crouch down, hiding their inner thoughts: "Shh, hide, be quiet."

"Wait, there are people ahead." Ye Tingxiu gestured for the two women to stop, and they immediately halted their advance.

Tantai Minglan's forehead was covered in sweat, and she asked nervously in a low voice, "What should we do?"

Duan Hongsu swallowed and said, "Ye Tingxiu, it seems like they've spotted us on the other side too."

3 players versus 10 players.

The psychological pressure they are under is immense.

Fortunately, the Blue Silver Squad didn't know that only three of them were attacking, so they didn't rush in first.

Ye Tingxiu said coldly, "Our mission is a feint attack. I must complete the task assigned to me by the captain."
