The burly man's face stiffened, then he stood up, picked up the woman, ran a few steps, and used the momentum to leap over the chasm. Their earlier loss of balance on the bridge had prevented their escape, but with their strength, crossing this distance wasn't difficult.
The man in the suit followed closely behind, eager to get to the site and catch a glimpse of the master craftsman who built the stone bridge.
After a while, a burly man with a full beard and slovenly appearance, accompanied by a little girl, also arrived at the chasm. He was wearing a vest and his beer belly was showing.
The burly man with stubble thought for a moment, then grabbed the little girl by the collar and threw her, yelling, "Girl, here we go!"
The little girl laughed heartily in mid-air, releasing the force and successfully landing on the other side.
Seeing his daughter arrive safely, the big man ran quickly and jumped off.
"How dare you throw your daughter away like an object!"
The burly man in mid-air was stepped on by a woman in red office lady clothes, and fell straight into the abyss.
The glamorous office lady grabbed the little girl's hand and said fiercely, "If you dare to treat my daughter like a discus again, I'll skin you alive!"
"Honey, I was wrong~"
A mournful howl came from the bottom of the abyss. The burly man with stubble slowly climbed up the rock wall, and the three of them headed to the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony venue.
More and more extraordinary people and events arrived. What seemed like a terrifying abyss was just a small hurdle in their eyes. This insurmountable barrier was merely an obstacle to ordinary people. After all, the world of extraordinary people needed sufficient secrecy to avoid being discovered by ordinary people and thus prevent social unrest.
Xu Le and his group arrived at the duel arena, which resembled a football field with a circular spectator stand on the side and a large circle in the center. The circle was covered with a gravel field, which was solid enough and not slippery, making it suitable for duels. The fact that the back mountain was transformed into this arena also reflected the grandeur of Longhu Mountain and the majesty of the righteous sects.
Zhang Chulan thought he had arrived early enough, but he didn't expect that a group of people had arrived before him. Not to mention Zhang Lingyu, even the Feng siblings had arrived.
Zhang Chulan originally wanted to greet them, since they were both inheritors of the Eight Arts and naturally felt a sense of kinship. However, the Feng siblings glanced at him and hurriedly walked away, as if they had encountered some plague god and wanted to avoid him at all costs.
Zhang Chulan lowered his hand somewhat dejectedly and followed Feng Baobao to queue up for a number. Xu Le did not go to get a number; performing in front of others like an animal was an insult to him.
As for the Heavenly Talisman, there are naturally other ways to obtain it. After all, someone has already arrived at Longhu Mountain and is about to stage a grand spectacle...
While the old Celestial Master was speaking, Xu Le mingled in the crowd and examined the old Celestial Master's body. He discovered that the old Celestial Master had managed to absorb the Qi of heaven and earth at all times to strengthen his body. Although he appeared old, he was essentially like a withered tree in the desert. It seemed dead, but in reality, its roots penetrated dozens of meters into the ground, drawing water to survive. Its vitality was extremely tenacious.
Because he was mixed in with the crowd, the old master sensed that someone was probing his true nature, but his years of cultivating his inner energy had not been in vain. He simply used his Qi to shield himself from the senses, as a warning.
Xu Le sensed the warning from the Celestial Master and gave up on further investigation. After all, there was a good show to be held today, and it wouldn't be fun if he alarmed the Celestial Master and the show couldn't be performed.
However, Xu Le discovered something even more interesting and quietly turned to leave.

Chapter 106: The Four Madmen of Quanxing (Thanks to Hehe Dawo Kao for the donation)
In the dense jungle, several figures darted swiftly through the trees, rustling against the branches and leaves, before gathering under a tree with a broad canopy.
A middle-aged man who was overweight, a noblewoman, a fat monk, and a young man with messy hair—four people who seemed to have no connection—were gathered together at this moment.
The overweight middle-aged man wore a kind smile, though it was somewhat stiff. He fumbled around behind his neck for a while, then peeled off the entire face mask, revealing a stunningly beautiful face.
Her features were well-proportioned, her skin was as white as the finest mutton fat jade, and her long pink hair was draped over her shoulders. Every smile and frown was captivating, and anyone who saw her couldn't help but think of one word: vixen.
She is Xia He, one of the Four Madmen of Quanxing, a woman with an innate inner charm and an unparalleled attraction to men. She has also cultivated a technique called "Bone-Scraping Knife," which allows her to manipulate the lust of others, overwhelming them with her desires and rendering them useless. This ability is beyond her control, and even disguise cannot completely prevent it.
Xia He fanned her face with her hand to relieve the heat caused by wearing the mask, and leaned against the tree trunk helplessly, saying, "How much longer do we have to wait? Even if I disguise myself as a chubby middle-aged man, I can't hide my charm. If this continues, I'll be discovered sooner or later."
The noblewoman's name was Dou Mei, which means "poison that burns through the intestines." She covered her mouth and chuckled, comforting him, "Don't worry, since that's the case, you should find a place to hide first, and we'll act together tonight."
Xia He tossed the mask to the monk, then slowly slid down the tree trunk and sat on the ground. It was a simple action, but her performance was incredibly seductive, causing the two men to swallow hard and feel a stirring in their lower bodies, which they immediately suppressed. After all, they weren't naive youngsters; having spent so much time together, their resistance to Xia He was naturally quite strong.
Gao Ning represents the four madmen. He looks like Maitreya Buddha and always has a kind smile on his face. He seems like a good person, but he is actually a serial killer, or rather, a pervert who kills with a smile.
Gao Ning put away his mask and was about to speak when his expression changed and he immediately turned to the side. A sharp stone passed right in front of him, piercing the trunk of a tree branch on his right, leaving a hole about the thickness of a finger.
Gao Ning quickly took a few steps back, his gaze sweeping over the direction from which the stones had come, and coldly shouted, "Who is it? Show yourself!"
Xia He lightly touched the ground with her slender white fingers, and used the rebound force to suddenly stand up. Her chest heaved with each movement. The four of them gathered together, staring intently at the bushes not far away.
Rustle!
Suddenly, a strong wind swept through the forest, creating a crisp melody as the branches and leaves rustled together. Countless dry, yellowed leaves spun and rose in the gust of wind, forming a small tornado that hurtled wildly in all directions.
This small tornado was estimated to be several meters high, but as it moved forward, it carried a tremendous gravitational pull. A huge suction force swept all the dead leaves and branches on the ground into the sky, and they spun around with the wind around the eye of the storm. The speed was getting faster and faster, and the dead leaves that could have been crushed with a finger became extremely terrifying under the current high speed.
Several small trees blocked the path of the tornado, and the leaves on the tornado's rapidly spinning leaves were cut with countless knife-like scratches. The speed increased, and in an instant, it arrived in front of the Four Madmen.
The tornado had grown to be three zhang tall and one zhang wide, with countless fragments flying around, like a huge monster baring its fangs and claws, cutting down everything in its path.
Get out of the way!
Seeing this, Xia He stepped back and leaned against a tall tree. Her slender hands gripped the rough trunk, and she easily climbed to the very top of the tree, more than ten meters above the ground. Standing on the branch, she watched the tornado sweep in.
Shen Chong ran in the opposite direction of the tornado's path, not intending to collide with it head-on.
Gao Ning shielded Dou Mei behind him, gathered his Qi, and like a Maitreya Buddha, raised his palm and slammed it down. A huge hand condensed from Qi appeared out of thin air, with the lines on the palm clearly visible. It slammed down on the tornado with the power to destroy everything.
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle!"
The giant hand collided with the tornado, sounding like a high-speed cutting blade colliding with metal. The giant hand, condensed from Qi, was constantly being cut by the blades created by the tornado's high-speed rotation. The giant hand was shattered after only three breaths of resistance. The giant tornado grew larger and larger as it moved forward, coming on with overwhelming force!
"snort!"
Gao Ning groaned, a few drops of bright red blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. His chest ached, and with Dou Mei's help, he quickly retreated, standing on a tree branch with Xia He. They decided not to clash with the tornado and instead conserve their strength to deal with the guys hiding in the shadows.
The tornado, with its high-speed cutting blades, resembled a bulldozer or a ferocious Behemoth, rampaging and felling hundreds of trees, raising clouds of dust. Being relatively far from the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony venue, it wouldn't attract much attention for the time being.
Several people watched as the tornado gradually moved away, its speed slowing down, the leaves stirred by the wind slowly falling, and the yellow tornado slowly dissipating.
