After being reincarnated, I cultivated immortality.

That very night, someone sneaked into the Anmian Inn, intending to drug the group and take them away. Unfortunately for them, with Bai Shu present, they couldn't even dream of it. Not only did they fail to complete their mission, but they also lost their lives.

Xiao Linzi, who was resting in the backyard, heard some noise in the middle of the night. He got up to check it out, but the innkeeper stopped him: "Why are you going out so late at night instead of sleeping?"

Xiao Linzi explained, "Manager, there's some noise up ahead. I'm afraid a thief has broken in, so I wanted to go check it out." There are plenty of thieves in this City of Desire. This Tranquil Inn has been robbed several times. Fortunately, the manager has hidden the important things well, and what was stolen was all worthless.

If you report such a thing to the city lord's mansion in time, but you have no power or money, there will be no follow-up. Ordinary people really can't get justice when such a thing happens, and can only accept their bad luck.

Even worse, some victims, because they kept pestering the thief to find him, ended up having their entire families killed by the thief who held a grudge against them.

After listening to Xiao Linzi's words, the shopkeeper glanced at the front yard, his eyes deep, and said, "It's nothing serious. It's probably just that a mouse accidentally knocked something over. Go and rest."

Since Shopkeeper Xiaolin had already said so, there was no need to insist on going over to check, and he obediently went back to continue sleeping.

The shopkeeper, who looked very fortunate, stood under the moonlight looking at the front yard, lost in thought, until a quarter of an hour later when he left to return to his room.

After daybreak, Chi Yi and her companions planned to register at the largest life-or-death arena in the area, the Qianyue Arena. The people here were all people who had lived on the edge of a knife and used only killing techniques. Naturally, none of the people who came here were good people, and Chi Yi and her companions also felt that they were not good people either.

Having fought many monsters, they have very little experience fighting humans. The Thousand Yue Arena can make up for this lack of experience.

The rules of the Thousand Yue Arena are very simple: Foundation Establishment stage cultivators fight Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, Golden Core stage cultivators fight Golden Core stage cultivators, and it doesn't matter whether you are in the early or peak stage. If you win, it's your skill; if you lose, it's your bad luck.

Before each match begins, the participants in the Thousand Yue Arena will open betting for spectators to place bets on who will win.

As soon as Chi Yi and her group arrived at the entrance of the Qianyue Arena, they encountered the Qian family members, who were clearly waiting for them.

"Greetings, fellow Daoists. I am Qian Xing. You may look unfamiliar. Is this your first time at the Qianyue Arena?" The refined young man greeted them with a smile. Although he tried his best to hide it, a hint of arrogance still lingered in his expression, which made him less than likable.

Chi Yi replied with a smile, "Friend Qian Dao has good eyesight. We just arrived and heard about this place, so we wanted to come and see it for ourselves."

Qianxing nodded in understanding. It seemed that the woman in front of him was the leader of the group. He said, "How about I introduce you to everyone?"

Chi Yi nodded: "Okay."

Qianxing gestured for them to go inside, asking, "May I ask how you fellow Daoists are addressed?"

Chi Yi said, "My surname is Shui, and my given name is Ye."

"Nice to meet you, fellow water spirit!" Chiyuki then looked at the others.

Bai Shu immediately gave his name: "Mu Dian".

Ling Lili: "Li Ling."

Yunfan: "Fan Yun".

Yuan Jing: "Chu Zi."

Jin Haoyu was dumbfounded. They hadn't mentioned using a fake name, which meant he hadn't thought of one beforehand. He was inwardly complaining, but didn't show it on his face.

Seeing that he hadn't made up his mind yet, Xi Lan said first, "Shan Feng."

Qianxing greeted the others and then looked at Jin Haoyu, who was at the very end.

Seeing that they were all looking at him, Jin Haoyu could only casually pick a name and say, "Jin Yu".

"So it's Fellow Daoist Jin. Please come in. I wonder if you all would like to be spectators or join in?" Qianxing asked with a smile.

Chi Yi spoke up: "Why don't you tell us about the rules here, Fellow Daoist Qian?"

Qianxing carefully explained the rules and kept guiding these people to go down and fight, because only by seeing their true strength could they know whether these people were worth the Qian family's effort to win over.

Chi Yi and the others went along with him, since that was also the purpose of their visit.

"I'd like to trouble Fellow Daoist Qian to take us to register. Mu Dian, Li Ling, Fan Yun, Jin Yu, and I are planning to give it a try," Chi Yi said.

Qianxing said, "Leave the registration to me. How about you all go and make your preparations?" Seeing Chi Yi nod, he then beckoned someone to take Chi Yi and the others to make their preparations.

After the group walked away, he beckoned his men and whispered instructions in their ears.

"Young master, I will take care of it immediately."

Qianxing nodded, his gaze fixed on the spot where Chi Yi and the others had left. He knew soon enough whether they truly possessed skill or were merely all talk and no action.

What happened here was not a secret, and soon the other families learned of it and sent people to watch the battle. They were also eager to know whether Chi Yi and the others were worth winning over.

Naturally, each of the six families has cultivators at the Nascent Soul and Deity Transformation stages. However, they only have three or four Nascent Soul cultivators, and they only intervene when there are major events. They don't care about trivial matters. As for Deity Transformation cultivators, each family only has one, who is in seclusion year-round and will never come out unless the family is facing a life-or-death situation. They only serve to intimidate others. Therefore, they still really want powerful Golden Core cultivators, as they might be able to dominate the market and become the number one family in the City of Desire.
