Within the combat zone, Heavenly level powerhouses are forbidden; otherwise, they will be annihilated by the great array (Note: this includes powerhouses whose combat strength reaches the Heavenly level!).
It was this annotation that attracted Li Xiaotian. Because with his current strength, if he were to unleash his full power, he could very likely reach the Heavenly level of combat strength!
Li Xiaotian's eyes flickered. If that were the case, this place could truly be considered his treasure trove.
Because with his strength, he would be invincible within the combat zone! Even if Gu Qiankun entered the combat zone, he would dare to face him head-on!
Thinking of this, Li Xiaotian smiled. From now on, he could truly let loose within the combat zone.
"I ask you, does the Ancient God tribe have any strongholds in the combat zone? Are there any overlords stationed there?"
Li Xiaotian's question caused the middle-aged man's expression to change instantly. He looked at Li Xiaotian with shock, then seemingly realizing his reaction was inappropriate, he quickly lowered his head.
"Reporting to senior, there are a total of four forces with strongholds in the combat zone, namely the Ancient God tribe, the Ten Thousand Demon Royal Court, the Xingtian tribe, and the Western Alliance tribe."
"They are all top-tier forces, and this map dares not mark their locations. However, this is not a secret. The junctions between the safe zone and the other four zones are the strongholds established by these four forces in the combat zone."
The middle-aged man spoke hurriedly, a layer of cold sweat appearing on his forehead. His body was also trembling slightly, indicating his extreme nervousness.
"It seems you've guessed who I am."
Li Xiaotian looked at the middle-aged man with some surprise. After all, the man's reaction had been too significant.
"Please spare me, Senior!!! I know nothing! Nor have I seen Senior! I swear, from today onwards, I will not leave the combat zone for ten years!"
The middle-aged man prostrated himself on the ground, his voice trembling. Yes, he had guessed the identity of the old man before him.
It was Li Xiaotian, who had issued a kill order to all overlord-level powerhouses of the Ancient God tribe!
He could never have imagined that he would be so unlucky as to encounter this existence. If he had known his identity earlier, he would have fought desperately to escape.
As for the middle-aged man's four companions, they were all bewildered, as they had no idea what was happening!
Someone secretly glanced at Li Xiaotian, their eyes filled with confusion. What was this person's identity that could make their boss so afraid?
"Heh, don't be afraid. What's your name? First, tell me how you guessed my identity."
Li Xiaotian said with a smile, no longer concealing himself, and returned to his original appearance.
He hadn't seen himself, and he had sworn not to leave the combat zone for ten years. This would put his mind at ease that he wouldn't leak his information. Was he afraid of being silenced?
Li Xiaotian thought to himself, looking at the middle-aged man, perhaps he could use him.
"My name is Man Dong. I've been around the combat zone for a long time and am somewhat known. Those who know me call me 'All-Knowing'. You can call me Xiao Dong or Xiao Tong, sir. As long as it's something that happened in the combat zone, whatever you want to know, I will answer for you."
Baishi Tong's tone was hurried. By desperately introducing himself, he also had some ulterior motives, which were to constantly improve his life-saving trump cards and make Li Xiaotian unwilling to kill him.
"As for why I guessed your identity, firstly, your strength is immense, otherwise, I wouldn't have given up on escaping."
Baishi Tong continued respectfully, revealing all his deductions.
"Secondly, in Manzhou, the Ancient God tribe is everything. Even their enemies dare not inquire about the Ancient God tribe casually."
"However, when you mentioned the Ancient God tribe earlier, I didn't detect any reverence in your tone, even a hint of disdain. Coupled with what you've been doing these past few days, I deduced your identity."
After Baishi Tong finished speaking, he was extremely nervous, his forehead covered in cold sweat. His four companions finally reacted at this moment.
The Ancient God tribe, these past few days, this instantly reminded them of Li Xiaotian. Wasn't this prominent figure the most talked about person in Manzhou these days!
"Crack!"
Immediately, two of them were so frightened they prostrated themselves on the ground. The other two also trembled, not daring to breathe.
So that's how it was. The status of the Ancient God tribe in Manzhou was too high. Anyone from Manzhou was not afraid of the Ancient God tribe.
As soon as he spoke, he asked about the Ancient God tribe's strongholds, and his tone was so casual, it was no wonder Baishi Tong guessed his identity.
"Do you want to live?"
Li Xiaotian said after some thought.
"Yes! Please instruct me, sir!"
Baishi Tong quickly replied, his attitude eager.
"Then go and do something for me."
Li Xiaotian said, then transmitted the content to Baishi Tong.
Baishi Tong's eyes widened, then his face turned pale. He quickly shook his head and was about to plead for mercy when Li Xiaotian interrupted him.
"Either accept it, or die! You only have these two options."
Li Xiaotian's tone was calm, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes.
Upon hearing this, Baishi Tong deflated like a balloon and slumped to the ground. His expression became bitter, even tinged with a tragic aura, and he nodded reluctantly in response.
"I accept!"
"Good, you're sensible. With your intelligence, asking you to do this isn't a suicide mission. Even if there's a risk of discovery, I believe you can handle it."
Li Xiaotian said unhurriedly, then tossed the map in his hand to the other party.
"There's a wisp of my divine sense on it. When the time comes, you will destroy it and leave. I will naturally arrive."
"Yes, sir!"
Baishi Tong responded respectfully, his expression bitter.
After a few breaths, finding that Li Xiaotian had no further instructions, Baishi Tong couldn't help but look up, only to discover that Li Xiaotian had already left.
"Phew! Heaven protect me! Ancestors protect me! Thank heavens, I've finally saved this worthless life."
Baishi Tong collapsed on the ground, gasping for air, his face filled with lingering fear.
"Big brother, has that sir left?"
His companions nearby hadn't noticed Li Xiaotian's departure either, so they asked in a low voice.
"Mm, he's gone!"
Baishi Tong replied weakly.
"Phew! I was so scared! I thought we were all going to die this time!"
Someone exclaimed. All five of them lay on the ground, drenched in sweat, as if they had just gone through a life-or-death battle.
"That sir is truly young! To possess such terrifying strength at such a young age!"
Someone sighed, their face filled with envy.
"Heh, but he shouldn't have provoked the Ancient God tribe. What a pity."
Someone beside them sneered.
"Slap! Slap!"
Upon hearing this, Baishi Tong immediately got up and slapped the other person twice. His eyes were fierce, and he gritted his teeth, speaking.
"Disaster comes from the mouth. If you want to die, go and kill yourself, don't implicate others!"
Baishi Tong's reaction startled the other four. The one who was slapped became even more terrified, immediately kneeling on the ground and saying.
"Brother, I was wrong. Don't be angry. I won't dare to speak carelessly again."
"Yes, brother, don't be angry. Xiao Wu is ignorant. Don't bother with him."
The other three spoke up, pleading for Xiao Wu.
"A bunch of idiots! If you had even a tenth of my intelligence, I wouldn't have to work so hard!"
Baishi Tong cursed, looking like he was disappointed in their lack of progress, then spoke to the four in a gentler tone.
"Everything that happened today, you must bury it deep in your bellies! Do not reveal it to anyone, otherwise, we five brothers will truly be facing imminent death!"
