Seeing this, Zhu Peng's expression turned cold, and he glanced directly at Li Xiaoyi and Xiao Bingyi beside him. His expression was extremely cold. The two of them felt as if they were in the dead of winter, bleak and chilly.
Then, Li Xiaoyi subconsciously shuddered. Seeing everyone's expressions, he quickly explained, "This is a team battle. According to the instructions in the space, it means that at least three people in the opposing team have unlocked their gene locks. Moreover, there are probably more. In this respect, our team is at a significant disadvantage."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Bingyi immediately chimed in, "That's right. So far, our team has only had Zheng Zha, Zhao Yingkong, and the deceased Chu Xuan unlock their genetic locks. In reality, it's just two people."
"Moreover, this is our first team battle, and nobody knows if there are any tricks to it. Therefore, despite having two super combatants, Daoist and Lao Wang, we are actually still at a disadvantage."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Zha and the others all changed color. They weren't fools; even if they didn't understand before, after hearing what the two said, they would understand their current situation.

Chapter 63: Discovered
"Therefore, in order to give full play to our strength in this team battle, I have decided that each small group in the team must take at least one Soul-Stabilizing Pill. Only in this way can I entrust my back to you with peace of mind," Zhu Peng said calmly.
As he spoke, his tone carried an undeniable authority. Everyone knew that Zhu Peng was serious this time.
As one of the two strongest fighters in the team, and also a cultivator—a legendary profession—Zhu Peng's words undoubtedly carried immense influence.
It's fair to say that if it weren't for Wang Zongchao, a super strong member of the Good and Lawful faction, who was on par with Taiyin and even slightly stronger, Zhu Peng wouldn't be here trying to persuade them with kind words. He would have already taken action, and by then, everyone's situation would be close to death, if not death.
Therefore, everyone turned their attention to Wang Zongchao, the only one who could influence Zhu Peng.
Seeing this, Wang Zongchao glanced at everyone's expressions and said calmly, "That's right. Seven days in advance, if used properly, can indeed provide considerable advantages. Therefore, theoretically speaking, it's understandable that the Indian team is stronger than us."
"However, most of our Zhongzhou team members focus on self-cultivation, especially you and me, Zhu Peng. Therefore, it's normal that we don't have a high evaluation from the main god. But we shouldn't belittle ourselves because of this. When it really comes down to it, we can't be sure who will win!"
"Besides, aren't there three experts here who are no less skilled than you and me? If they're willing to help, what's the Yinzhou team to us?" Wang Zongchao said with a smile. After speaking, he looked directly at Lin Yang and the other two.
“Indeed, it seems you sensed it too. From the moment I entered this world, I felt something was amiss. I had a feeling that someone was secretly watching me. However, I couldn’t find anything when I used my divine sense, which is very strange.” Zhu Peng said with a forced smile.
At the same time, one of his faces looked quite gloomy. Because, this time, Wang Zongchao had once again noticed the strange behavior of the three of them a split second earlier than him.
Upon hearing this, the remaining people all widened their eyes, looking utterly astonished and incredulous. At the same time, regardless of whether they believed it or not, everyone took a step back and then looked at Lin Yang and his companions with a hint of horror.
"What, Lao Wang, you mean these three strangely dressed guys are stronger than Zheng Zha?" Qi Tengyi was drawing a talisman when he accidentally destroyed it.
"I feel like the three of them are perfectly normal. There's nothing unusual about them. They're just like ordinary people. Otherwise, why haven't they woken up yet?" Zheng Zha said in surprise, looking at Lin Yang and the other two.
Wang Zongchao made no comment on Zheng Zha's idiotic words, but instead became even more serious. He instantly entered the Innate Realm, adjusting his entire body's essence, energy, and spirit to their limit.
"Friend, aren't you coming to your senses?"
Meanwhile, Taiyin, standing to the side, resembled a coiled venomous snake, emanating a cold and dark aura. At the same time, she drew a white bone killing sword, remaining constantly vigilant.
Seeing this, Lin Yang, knowing he could no longer hide, had no choice but to stand up. At the same time, an incomparably powerful aura emanated from him.
"That's really strange. How did you find us? You know, although this is our first time doing something like this, we don't think we've left any obvious clues. Our auras have been completely concealed, making us indistinguishable from ordinary people. Even if you checked us yourself, you wouldn't have found anything wrong." Lin Yang looked at Wang Zongchao with great curiosity.
This is the Turtle Breathing Technique from the main world; there's no reason Wang Zongchao could have discovered it. Could it be that his protagonist aura kicked in?
"Your breathing technique is not problematic, but it is strange that as a newcomer, your clothes were completely free of dust when you lay on the ground."
"You know, even though I have long since cultivated my martial arts to the point of breaking through the void and being indestructible even when facing gods, and I am known as someone who cannot be touched by a feather or a fly, I still cannot achieve the point of being completely untouched by a speck of dust."
"Therefore, I guessed that this might be the effect of some kind of magic weapon. After all, in myths and legends, some magic weapons with dust-repelling effects are really nothing special. Then, I asked Taiyin." Wang Zongchao explained calmly, and then looked at Zhu Peng beside him.
"Wow, what a tycoon! A piece of clothing that can even ward off dust. After a closer look, I realized that this isn't just clothing, it's clearly a magical artifact! How incredibly wealthy he is, carrying around a magical artifact like that!" Zhu Peng exclaimed, his eyes gleaming.
Moreover, what excited Zhu Peng even more was that these magical weapons were clearly techniques and styles he didn't recognize.
Moreover, it appears to be quite sophisticated. It can be said to be a self-contained system. This is undoubtedly fantastic news for Taiyin, who is dedicated to the pursuit of the Dao.
Meanwhile, Lin Yang was carefully recalling the information about Wang Zongchao and Taiyin Zhu Peng in his mind. After all, knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory.
Wang Zongchao is the chief instructor of special forces in the real world (the world Zheng Zha lives in). He is said to have reached the pinnacle of martial arts, having already attained the highest level of skill.
As a result, by chance, he came to the God Realm and began his invincible path of killing gods and Buddhas alike.
I am a person of strong character, principled, and with a bottom line. Once I gain your approval, I will consider you a partner and treat you with utmost sincerity and honesty. I despise any behavior that is not devout to the martial arts. I am not a good person, but I am not a bad person either.
As for Zhu Peng, he is the complete opposite of Wang Zongchao; he can be considered a truly bad person. In his pursuit of the Dao, he has no bottom line, no principles, and is willing to do anything as long as it leads to enlightenment.
This person is a direct descendant of the Ghost Palace of Longhu Mountain in the main world (the world Zheng Zha resides in). He has cultivated Taoism since childhood, and his foundation is incredibly solid. At this moment, his strength has reached the peak of Qi Refining. He has also crafted many strange and powerful treasures.
Their style of doing things is also rather sinister, much like the ancient Qi cultivators in the main world. Let alone killing their wives to attain enlightenment, they would even kill themselves to achieve enlightenment, as long as it meant achieving it, they would not hesitate to commit suicide.
"My name is Lin Yang, a scholar. These two are my companions, Shi A and Cai Yan," Lin Yang said, clasping his hands in a fist salute.
"My name is Wang Zongchao, and I am a martial artist."
"My name is Zhu Peng of Taiyin, a Taoist priest."

Chapter Sixty-Four: Zhongzhou Team? You idiots!
"I don't know, Lin Yang, what is your background? Why is there not a single trace of information about you in my divination?" Zhu Peng suddenly asked.
It should be noted that although divination was not his main Taoist practice, he could still calculate general information and whether the outcome would be auspicious or inauspicious.
However, at this moment, his divination could not find any information about the three people at all, as if they were visitors from outer space.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yang glanced at Cai Yan and the other two, and then said directly, "That's right, the three of us are from beyond the heavens. At this moment, we have temporarily joined the Central State Team only because there are opponents for us in the Indian State Team. They are also from beyond the heavens."
To be honest, even if Lin Yang didn't say it, it wouldn't be long before everyone found out. Therefore, after thinking it over, it's better to just say it directly.
"People from outer space, no wonder."
"The beings from beyond the heavens are not actually from this world?"
