Xiao Lingchen stepped into the teleportation array.

  He felt a force of laws envelop his entire body, and in the next second, he experienced a dizzying sensation.

  This feeling lasted for less than half a minute before it stopped.

  When Xiao Lingchen regained his senses, everything around him had changed.

  He found himself in a forest filled with towering ancient trees, the light dim and the air thick with miasma.

  The environment was eerie, oppressive, and terrifying.

  In the distance, the roars of numerous beasts could be heard.

  "So this is the Dark Forest, huh?" Xiao Lingchen pondered.

  "No wonder so many people feel fear at the mention of the Dark Forest."

  "The environment alone is enough to be terrifying and oppressive."

  "Staying here for too long might make someone depressed."

  He circulated his spiritual power, forming a protective barrier around himself to isolate the surrounding miasma.

  Then he lit a Spirit Breath Talisman, preparing to rendezvous with Jiang Yuanji and the others.

  Once ignited, the talisman turned into a pile of ashes, and a wisp of light floated out, flying forward.

  This was clearly the guidance method of the Spirit Breath Talisman.

  Without thinking much, Xiao Lingchen followed the talisman's guidance.

  However, after traveling for two hours, Xiao Lingchen realized how unrealistic it was to meet up with someone in this vast Dark Forest!

  The Dark Forest was absurdly large.

  With his speed, he had covered at least a hundred miles in two hours, yet there was still no sign of Jiang Yuanji and the others.

  Suddenly, a beast's roar came from behind.

  Turning his head, he saw a two-zhang tall beast pouncing towards him!

  Fortunately, Xiao Lingchen reacted in time, dodging to the side while also using the Golden Body Technique to protect himself.

  After evading the attack, he clenched his fist and pursued!

  "Supreme Vajra Fist!!"

  With a loud shout, his fist struck.

  It smashed into the beast's body with immense power!

  The massive body, two zhang tall, was sent flying hundreds of meters, crushing countless ancient trees.

  Beasts inherently lacked intelligence, knowing only slaughter.

  Therefore, Xiao Lingchen didn't stop there, using the Divine Movement Step to chase after it!

  Another Supreme Vajra Fist struck its forehead.

  Instantly, its forehead exploded!

  The beast's body was full of treasures; its skin and bones could be used as materials for refining spiritual artifacts and divine artifacts.

  Beast blood could be used in medicine, and demon cores could be cultivated!

  Xiao Lingchen didn't want to miss any of it, so he stored the entire beast's corpse into his storage space.

  At the same time, he noticed a wooden token on the ground.

  Picking it up, he saw the words "5 points" written on it.

  Xiao Lingchen immediately understood that this must be the scoreboard token placed in advance by the elders for the Sect Tournament.

  It was the goal for everyone in this Sect Tournament.

  The token was engraved with mysterious runes and had a special restraining spell to prevent counterfeiting.

  "I didn't expect to gain something so soon after arriving in the Dark Forest."

  "Not bad at all."

  Xiao Lingchen contentedly put away the scoreboard token.

  He continued following the direction indicated by the Spirit Breath Talisman.

  During this time, Xiao Lingchen killed a few more reckless beasts.

  He collected a few more scoreboard tokens.

  However, the numbers on these tokens were mostly below 5 points.

  After a hard day's work, his total points were only 16.

  This left Xiao Lingchen feeling quite frustrated.

  With such a small amount of points, getting first place seemed difficult.

  And just then.

  Several figures suddenly blocked Xiao Lingchen's path.

  Looking up, he saw they were disciples wearing the Tianyan Sect's robes.

  One of them had a very familiar face, someone who had participated in the siege of the Xiao Family months ago, a face Xiao Lingchen remembered clearly!

  They wore mocking smiles:

  "Kid, it looks like you've collected quite a few points."

  "If you know what's good for you, hand over all your points."

  "Otherwise..."

  Before they could finish their sentence, a red sword light slashed towards them!

  The speed was so fast that they couldn't react, and three of the Tianyan Sect disciples were cut in half, dying instantly!

  The remaining two, who reacted slightly faster and narrowly avoided the sword, were shocked by the sight of their dead comrades.

  They looked at Xiao Lingchen in disbelief, unable to stop themselves from cursing:

  "You!"

  "You're insane!"

  "We only wanted your points, and you killed our comrades!!!"

  Xiao Lingchen sneered, instantly appearing in front of them.

  He grabbed one by the throat, lifting him up.

  "So what if I kill you?"

  With that, he exerted force.

  With a "crack," he crushed the man's throat.

  The other one was so frightened by the scene that he screamed, trembling, losing control of his bowels.

  In the next moment, he knelt on the ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy:

  "Please, don't kill me, I was wrong, I was wrong, I shouldn't have tried to take your points."

  "Though we were wrong, we don't deserve to die, can't you spare me?"

  Xiao Lingchen sneered:

  "Spare you?"

  "Months ago, did you spare the Xiao Family?"

  Hearing this, the man's pupils shrank, his heart pounding violently.

  Slowly raising his head to look at Xiao Lingchen, memories of that night months ago flooded his mind.

  "You... you're from the Xiao Family?"

  Xiao Lingchen grabbed his throat, smiling:

  "What do you think?"

  The man struggled in terror:

  "I... I was wrong, forgive me..."

  "It was our elder who ordered us..."

  Xiao Lingchen couldn't be bothered to listen to his explanations, and in his deep fear and regret, he crushed his throat.

  After finishing, Xiao Lingchen collected their storage rings.

  He had to admit, these guys were truly poor.

  The contents of the storage rings were nothing but trash in Xiao Lingchen's eyes, not even a single scoreboard token.

  The only useful items were a few Spirit Breath Talismans!

  Xiao Lingchen smirked.

  These Spirit Breath Talismans were clearly used by them to find and meet up with their fellow disciples.

  Now that they were in Xiao Lingchen's hands, he had an idea!

  He immediately lit one of the Spirit Breath Talismans and followed its guidance!

  At this moment, Xiao Lingchen silently set a small goal in his heart.

  Before heading to the Tianyan Sect, he would first eliminate all the Tianyan Sect disciples participating in this Sect Tournament!

  "Those who can participate in the Sect Tournament are at least elite disciples of the Tianyan Sect, if not inner disciples. If I kill them all, the entire Tianyan Sect might go crazy, right?"

  Thinking this, Xiao Lingchen felt a surge of excitement!

  Soon enough.

  Xiao Lingchen followed the Spirit Breath Talisman to another group of Tianyan Sect disciples.

  At this moment, those Tianyan Sect disciples were working together to kill a fourth-rank beast with Dao Palace Realm strength.

  Xiao Lingchen couldn't be bothered with words, drawing his sword and charging at them!
