The next day, all of the participants decided to set aside hunting for demons now and went to look for Ke Lu. But, Ke Lu this time reflected upon himself and realized he had been too hasty because of his bloodlust gotten over him so he destroyed almost half of the participants. He had to slow down a little since it was still early of this stage. Also, the remaining participants are stronger than the ones he destroyed thus his desire to slow down a little with his actions increased.

But, he didn't know that it was too late for him. He had already triggered the other participants. So, how can they just sit back and not avenge the other participants? Although the other participants are a stranger to them, the sense of camaraderie is seeping in their bones thus the disciples, along with the 'two' rogue cultivators Qi Lan and Jin Yu, will avenge Ning Zhe and the other participants that Ke Lu caused to be sent out of this stage.

"It is starting." Xiao Bao spoke while xiao Ling just looked on as the disciples plus two cultivators spread out in the sky in a fan shape and looked for Ke Lu all over the area.

At first, everyone didn't notice that the disciples plus two cultivators maintained their fan-shaped position since they don't have the whole view of the map. It wasn't until one of them finally found Ke Lu. It was Qi Lan who found him.

Ke Lu is excited when he found Qi Lan who is a fellow rogue cultivator. Instinctively, he wanted to attack another person again when the other showed his back on him. But, he reined in his impulses because he know he can't get any more eye-catching right now or the Righteous Alliance won't tolerate him anymore due to his crimes albeit he is still a participant that is protected by the rules.

Thus, he decided to 'befriend' Qi Lan and work with him until the first elimination period. Unfortunately, it wasn't stated how to steal someone's points, or else Ke Lu would also have done that. Thus, he can only steal the other participants' belongings.

"Hey, brother!" he called to Qi Lan showing his best smile. His hands jerked, wanting to hit the other as he looked at the other who is showing his back on him. He doesn't know that Qi Lan actually deliberately showed his back on him.

Everyone already deduced that one of Ke Lu's modus is to attack the others when they showed their backs on him. This was what happened to Qian Meng whose head was muddled at that time due to being worried about Qian Jue's situation, which Ke Lu caused. Thus, everyone agreed that if they found Ke Lu, they would do this first.

Yes. Qi Lan has found Ke Lu earlier than Ke Lu did. He immediately sent a Thousand Message Talisman to inform the others that he has found Ke Lu. Of course, this Thousand Message Talisman isn't actually one thousand talismans. It is just one talisman that multiplies itself. The number is based on the number of names written at the back of the Message Talisman while the front contained the message the sender wanted to send.

This Thousand Message Talisman naturally is another invention of Cheng Sheng, and this made things more convenient to everyone again when sending their family or friends a message during New Years or festivals.

Everyone saw countless talismans flew in two opposite directions – east and west, continuously flying towards these two directions until they reached the hands of the disciples and Jin Yu.

"They are in a fan-shaped formation…?" someone from the audience noticed.

"A fan-shaped formation? What does this mean?" they asked.

"I don't know. But there should be some meaning to it." The person answered.

"Then, let's wait and see!" they said.

...

"A fan-shaped formation… another strategy by you?" Jing Cheng asked. They have already noticed their formation as soon as they all spread out.

"Yeah." Cheng Sheng nodded.

"What does this do?" Tang Zhe asked.

"For scouting and trapping." Fei Yin answered for Cheng Sheng when he saw that Cheng Sheng is smiling as he is watching the participants' show.

"'scouting and entrapment'?" they asked.

"They are all spread out with an equal distance from each other. This covers each other's blind spots when they scout, and they also can respond to each other in a timely manner in case an enemy attack one of them." Fei Yin answered. "If one of them falls, one of them can move from either side and replace that person to maintain the formation." He added.

"I see!" everyone exclaimed in awe. This formation is really good!

"What about the trapping part?" Fan Wen curiously asked. He has always known that his disciple Cheng Sheng often brings out novel ideas to them but this one is very amazing.

"Answering shifu, the trapping part is when they converge in a reverse motion." Cheng Sheng spoke.

"'converge in a reverse motion'?" they muttered and turned to look at the participants, just in time to see what Cheng Sheng is talking about.

As soon as everyone received Qi Lan's message, they all turned back to the direction they came from.

"Hey!" someone from the audience exclaimed. "Look! Look! Don't they look like they are going in one direction now that they are coming back?!" he asked.

"You are right… they scattered widely earlier but now… everyone is going to one direction as they return." Somebody spoke.

The sect leaders and the Righteous Alliance saw this and they are similarly shocked as the elders.

"This…" they sharply inhaled and looked at each other. Excitement can be seen in their eyes. Now that the whole picture was laid in front of them, they can already foresee what is going to happen.



Qi Lan turned back to Ke Lu. He greeted him back, not with words but with attacks instead! Ke Lu's eyes widened in shock since he didn't expect for someone to attack a person as soon as they saw him… well, except him who enjoys killing others and Xi He who always attacks Wu Tie.

How can Ke Lu hold himself back? This person has sent himself to his hands! Thus, he fought back. Even if he was caught off-guard by Qi Lan, but he reacted fast. Everyone has to grudgingly admit that Ke Lu is very good with his reflexes.

Ke Lu, who's very excited in fighting against Qi Lan, became even more excited when he found out that Qi Lan is as strong as him! Thus, he failed to notice that something was off as they continued to fight but actually are going in one direction! His emotions got over him and he continuously chased Qi Lan who is obviously retreating. Ke Lu felt complacent when he noticed this since he thought that Qi Lan has reach his limit.

But, everyone who is closely watching the overall situation saw that the direction the disciples plus Jin Yu are going to is towards the direction where Qi Lan and Ke Lu are heading to!

"Damn! So this is the 'entrapment' you are referring to?!" Jing He exclaimed in shock.

Everyone saw that everyone is heading to the wall of rock where everyone took flight from earlier before they spread in a fan-shaped formation. When everyone finally converged, Ke Lu would be trapped between the wall of rock and the disciples plus two rogue cultivators! He won't be able to escape!



But, Ke Lu thought that it was Qi Lan who will be trapped instead after he saw the wall of rock. He thought that Qi Lan was out of luck, and this made his excitement reach its peak. He likes to toy with his opponents, obviously.

However, he suddenly noticed that Qi Lan seemed to be so calm the entire time, even if when they discovered a dead end. Ke Lu's mind suddenly issued an alarm and, just as he was about to deal a fatal blow to Qi Lan to render the other immobile like he did to the other participants before that he attacked, he, along with everyone watching, saw that Qi Lan's figure flashed before Ke Lu and when Qi Lan reappeared, he was actually already behind Ke Lu!

How did this happen?! Ke Lu and everyone thought in shock. They know that because Qi Lan and Ke Lu are closely fighting against each other, Qi Lan couldn't have dodged that attack of Ke Lu. Ke Lu is very sure of this, as he had done this countless times. He could have gotten Qi Lan in his hands!

"Wait… this looked familiar?" Li Tian muttered.

"Yes. That move really looked extremely familiar." Chen Han nodded.

"… isn't this Cheng-shixiong's move?" Lei Ling and You Rou spoke.

"Ah." Everyone muttered when they realized it. Then, they recalled that Cheng Sheng really had this move before. "… Displacement?!" they said when they finally recalled the name.
