Everyone turned their gaze toward... the man in black.
Night Watch murmured, "I knew it... I said he had a background..."
"Indeed, but... I can't seem to figure out which force they come from," Fang Li whispered.
He glanced at the people around him... after all, it takes an astonishing amount of resources and price to allow so many people to enter this place for protection.
He was also quickly recalling if there was any bad impression he might have left on the other party along the way.
Su Qi, however, was not surprised.
From the various small details before, he could sense that the man in black was no ordinary man, experienced and calm, with a surprisingly sharp aura hidden within.
Even his use of words and sentences was somewhat different from the others.
And there was something else.
The man in black also had some clear information about the Ancient Battlefield... although not as much as Old Huang, but it was evident he was knowledgeable.
Su Qi looked slightly toward the kneeling crowd.
They were currently dressed in gray robes, wearing deep hats, and their faces couldn't even be seen.
The Yellow Robed Priest suddenly said, "Something's not right... ah..."
"What do you mean by 'not right'?"
"These people... they have an ancient aura about them... but their life forces are extremely weak, as if they're very old and about to die," the Yellow Robed Priest said with sharp eyes.
The Yellow Robed Priest looked toward the man in black, "He may not be from our present era..."
Su Qi muttered to himself, "We'll take it step by step, and we'll know eventually."
Many forces were still continuously entering this place.
Countless people were anxiously looking around, waiting for a momentary peace.
"From what we've seen so far, the number of people who started participating in the Audience has reduced by at least half," Night Watch said with some astonishment.
"Logically, the deeper we go, the more dangerous it gets, and the number of people reaching the last layer should be horrifyingly low..."
Fang Li paused, "But because of Brother Su's actions at that time... changing the situation and triggering a series of accidents, we probably wouldn't have arrived here."
Old Huang was also still awake.
Previously, he was cajoled and calmed down, and this chapter should have been turned over already. Why bring up the past?
Fang Li shook his head, "Of course, Brother Su, I don't blame you. Although it started because of you, it also provided people like me... and many in the lower echelons of the world with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
After seeing the exchange window of the last layer, the items inside were truly what could allow them to rise from insignificance, to defy destiny, precious opportunities that come only once in a lifetime!
If nothing unexpected had happened, he would not have been confident of reaching this last layer.
The Yellow Robed Priest was also slightly shocked, "What did he just say? What does 'it started because of you' mean?"
"I don't know, maybe he's gone crazy, likes to talk nonsense, and is this even the time to focus on this?"
"Su Buxian... you..."
Su Qi abruptly cut off his questioning voice and solemnly looked toward the distance, "...now we're all in the same boat, united in heart, and the most important thing is everything before us. You have extensive knowledge; please help me lookout."
The Yellow Robed Priest stayed silent, although he noticed that Su Qi was obviously changing the subject, he still spoke faintly, "... alright."
In this space, people already had distinct divisions of power, besides ordinary people.
Fang Li had already recognized quite a few forces.
"Some which I've only heard rumors about... any entity that has made a name for itself in the present world has unparalleled strength..."
Night Watch was also paying attention to his surroundings, as if he was looking for something.
"Are you looking for other players?" Su Qi saw through him with a glance.
"Mm..." Night Watch nodded lightly.
Paradise, on their part, must have chosen various players for the Audience.
"Based on the average number of ten people per twelve zones... there should be at least over a hundred players."
Previously, because they were separated into various world regions, it was hard to meet up, but now... everyone is entering this place, and if they hadn't died along the way, they would inevitably appear.
"Over a hundred people?" Su Qi paused slightly, "In my zone... it seems I'm the only one."
Night Watch's eyes widened, "How's that possible..."
"Paradise also needs to ensure a quota for each zone. If there's only one person, it often means that in that instance... one's performance exceeds the sum of all others, and such a case is too extreme."
"... no, I forgot, there's another one."
Su Qi also counted Tentacle Man, "That makes more sense."
Night Watch gave up, "... never mind that, I think I've already spotted quite a few players."
Su Qi had naturally seen them too; the players had various serious expressions, standing uneasily among the crowd. Some he seemed to have seen before, and some were completely unfamiliar faces.
"It's clear to see that everyone seems very nervous."
"... this isn't just Paradise's affair, it's facing the entire present world..." Night Watch suddenly stopped talking,
because at that moment.
Everyone suddenly fell silent, and the major powers also focused their eyes, looking into the distance.
Groups after groups of teams slowly stepped into this place.
Someone said in a subdued voice, "It's the Spirit King... the Young Master..."
Many were vying for everything in the Anxious Land, and naturally, the Young Masters of the Seven Spirit Kings... would not miss this opportunity.
The major power players did not seem urgent, just watching this scene with a cold eye. Although their backgrounds might be somewhat lesser, they were not weak by much, and all were proud individuals, not showing weakness.
Yet, for the other ordinary people, it was different.
