"Clan Head Huo, what do you mean by that? Are you going to go back on your words as well?"

When Hua Qiang saw that Stronghold Master Huo had brought a group of people to the Poison Land, his eyebrows knitted even more tightly.

Furthermore, for the sake of this competition, he had spent a whole year preparing. And now, seeing that he could command five other tribes for a year, an accident had actually occurred.

The Poison Miasma that caused people to feel fear in their hearts had mysteriously disappeared. Without the Poison Miasma's words, the three strongholds that were originally abandoned because of the Poison Miasma naturally wouldn't be convinced.

Previously, they had to surrender because they didn't want to see their subordinates die for nothing.

If that was the case, then their deterrence would naturally be affected. There would even be a large number of subordinates who would leave their stronghold.

If things got to this point, this stronghold wouldn't be able to make a climate out of it.

"Clan Leader Hua, what do you mean regret? Previously, there was a Poison Miasma here, so we knew we could do nothing about it, but naturally we chose to give up, and now that the Poison Miasma has disappeared, if we were not allowed to participate in the competition, we would naturally feel indignant." At this moment, the third chief also walked over.

Following the arrival of this chief, the five great tribes started to gather.

After Hua Qiang heard the third chief's words, his face darkened, but he did not retort.

This was because the three strongholds had all declared that they would go back on their word. If he didn't agree, then even if he won first place in the competition, he wouldn't be able to convince the masses.

"Ximen Imperial Clan's Clan Chief, what do you think? If you agree to their participation, then I have nothing to say." Hua Qiang looked at Ximen Zhong and asked.

At this time, Hua Qiang naturally could not let Ximen Zhong go through with it alone, so he directly threw the question to the other party.

"Clan Head Hua, this competition between the five tribes has always been a competition. If only the two of us are left, then it would be meaningless." Ximen Zhong said indifferently.

Ximen Zhong was naturally clear about Hua Qiang's intentions, and since the other party had given him such an opportunity to fawn, he would naturally accept it without restraint.

"Branch Chief Hua, since the Ximen Imperial Clan has no objections, what about you?" Zhu Village Chief asked.

Hearing that, Hua Qiang forced out a smile and replied: "Then I naturally have no objections, but now that the is gone, there is no challenge, I wonder what we can compete against this time?"

"This ?"

When Hua Qiang said this, the four strongholds present all entered into a state of hesitation.

Indeed, if it was before, then it all depended on who could persevere within the Poison Miasma. As long as they could persevere, they would undoubtedly be the victor.

But it was different now, the Poison Miasma was gone, could it be that it was just a competition?

Although sparring was not bad, it was too monotonous. There wasn't much of an interest in it.

"Oh yeah, I thought of something. I looked at a map before, and there's a blank area behind the Poison Land. How about we compare it to this?" Ximen Zhong who was thinking suddenly made a suggestion.

"Compete in this?" "How do we compete? Let's see who gets there first." Hua Qiang asked with suspicion.

With regards to this point, the other three strongholds were naturally very curious as well. After all, the outcome of the competition was extremely important. Thus, it was extremely important to compare who was the most important.

"Whatever you want to compare me to is up to everyone. I've already explained the general direction I'm going in. If you continue to talk about it, won't you all be suspicious of my intentions?" "What if I win? What if any of you are not convinced?" Ximen Zhong said cautiously.

Of course, the reason why Ximen Zhong was so cautious was entirely to prevent Hua Qiang from reneging on his promise.

Because the competition was brought up by Ximen Zhong, if he obtained victory, then there would definitely be people who would use this as an excuse to refute him.

That was why Ximen Zhong did not continue and allowed the others to explain the specifics of the competition to him.

The content of the competition was decided through discussion. If anyone won in this way, then no one would have an excuse.

"What should we compare?"

Because from Ximen Zhong's words, the remaining four strongholds started to guess.

Everyone, I have an idea. Didn't you guys say that there was a blank space on the map? If that's the case, then let's see who can figure out the situation of the blank space first.

While the few of them were thinking, chief Zhu spoke out his thoughts.

It wasn't difficult to completely picture the blank map, but no one knew what was going on inside it. Therefore, it wasn't difficult to figure out everything in the blank map.

"Draw a map?"

When the others heard this suggestion, they hesitated for a moment. Then, when they thought about it, they realized that this competition was very harmonious. There weren't any dangers, so they all revealed satisfied expressions.

No matter what, the victor would eventually become the leader of the five tribes, so he naturally did not want any strongholds to suffer heavy casualties.

That was why the four strongholds, including Ximen Zhong, had always agreed to the competition proposal put forward by the Zhu Village Chief.

"What about the number? Is it the same as before?" Hua Qiang asked.

"That's for sure. After all, we don't even know what kind of place that empty space is, nor do we know if there are any powerful Profound Beast or other dangers. So we need to do our best in terms of safety." Clan Head Huo nodded and replied.

"That's good. We'll have one Profound Sea Stage expert and four Profound Infant Stage experts form a small team to participate in the competition." Hua Qiang nodded.

Now that the content of the competition and the number of participants had been determined, it was naturally up to each village to determine who would participate.

Of course, before the start of the competition, the number of participants had already been determined. Even if the content of the competition changed, there would not be any major changes to the participants.

However, there were no major changes, and there were still some minor changes, such as the number of participants from Ximen Zhong's stronghold.

"Elder Bai, may I trouble you to represent our stronghold in this competition?" Ximen Zhong walked in front of Bai Qing and suggested.

Ah!

When Bai Qing heard this, he was shocked. He did not expect Ximen Zhong to actually make such a decision and allow him to participate in this competition.

With regards to the competition at the Five Stronghold, Bai Qing still understood clearly in his heart, that the outcome of the competition would determine who would be the next person to lead the Five Stronghold.

Therefore, this competition was extremely important, why would Ximen Zhong send him to participate?

"Elder Bai, your mission is to arrange the Profound Array to delay the people from the other four villages. Since we are competing on who should draw out the map of the blank ground first, then if we delay them, victory will definitely be ours." Just as Bai Qing was feeling shocked, Ximen Zhong's voice sounded out in his mind.

Hearing this, Bai Qing's body trembled slightly. So this was what Ximen Zhong wanted to do with him.

Indeed, when it came to trap people, there was no one more suitable than him in the entire village. As long as it was a trap array, it would be able to trap all of them.

If the four strongholds were separated and trapped, the fourth rank trap array would be able to hold them for a while.

Understanding the terrain required a period of time, and if one was trapped inside the Profound Array, that would mean a lot of time for them.

And if that happened, Bai Qing and the others would definitely have the advantage.

Other than that, even if the Profound Array was broken by them, as a Profound Array Master, the thing that Bai Qing lacked the least was definitely the Profound Array, so with just a casual skill, they would definitely be trapped again.

It was because of this reason that Ximen Zhong switched out the Profound Sea Stage Expert in the stronghold.

Although the man was not happy with Ximen Zhong's decision, but since the other party was the chief, even if he was unhappy, he still had to obey the order.

Just like that, when the five teams were ready, the competition was about to begin.

"Ximen Imperial Clan's Clan Chief, why did the competition this time around have a different person? Who is he? How come I've never seen him before?" When Hua Qiang saw that the Profound Sea Stage Expert leading Ximen Zhong's group was a stranger, he couldn't help but ask.0

"Patriarch Hua, he is Elder Bai, a newly recruited elder of our village. Since there is a competition, we should naturally let him perform. Should we support him for no reason?" Ximen Zhong replied with a light smile.

The cultivation level of the Profound Array Master and the mysterious cultivator were not much different, so if the Profound Array Master did not set up the array, then no one could tell who the Profound Array Master was.

And it was because of this that Hua Qiang and the other three clan masters did not know about Bai Qing being a Profound Array Master.

"Alright, listen to my command. The duel officially begins."

When the five squads of people were ready, Hua Qiang, as the leader of the five strongholds, naturally announced the start of the competition.

After the order was given, the five squads of people immediately rushed out.

"Go!"

But just as the other four teams were leading the way and rushing towards the depths of Poison Land, suddenly a stern voice sounded.

In the next second, four rays of light shot out from Bai Qing's hand.

These four rays of light were extremely fast, and when they appeared in the air above the four squads, it immediately turned into a dazzling ray of light.

"Profound Array!"

When the Profound Sea Stage Expert leading the four groups felt the fluctuations of the Profound Array, they immediately shouted out.

It was a pity that the speed at which the Profound Array s were activated was extremely fast. Therefore, even if they reacted in time, in the end, they were still trapped within the Profound Array.

"This ?"

When Hua Qiang and the other three clan leaders saw that the competition had begun, they were all shocked. Obviously, none of them thought that it would turn out like this.
