It was no exaggeration to say that Kang Ming Ming's behavior was no less than coming to the temporary imperial residence of the Island Owner to rob and smash the heirloom treasure of West Island. If the news got out, he would be infuriated by both humans and gods. It was no wonder that Ning Shangling was furious!
"This guy is so hateful!" Liu Ziyu was also filled with righteous indignation. As an old friend of Ning Shangling for many years, she knew clearly what the Thunder Xuan Rattan meant to West Island. She couldn't help but wonder, "But, how did Kang Ming Ming find the Thunder Xuan Rattan? Such an important route map shouldn't be leaked, right?"
"I also think it's very strange. We must investigate this matter carefully." Ning Shangling frowned and said.
It was true that the existence of the Thunder Xuan Rattan in West Island's trial was not a secret. In fact, many trial takers came for the Thunder Xuan Rattan. But the specific location of the Thunder Xuan Rattan was a top secret in West Island.
Even among the inner disciples of West Island, only a few disciples who were valued by Ning Shangling would get a hint, and the others had no way to know. Even with the deep relationship between Liu Ziyu and Ning Shangling, it was only because Liu Ziyu had made great contributions to West Island that he revealed it to her, and it had never been spread before.
Whether it was Liu Ziyu or those disciples valued by Ning Shangling, they were all absolutely reliable people. Normally, there was no reason for them to leak such an important secret. How did Kang Ming Ming know it?
"Could it be that this guy injured Die 'er and forced the information out of her?" Liu Ziyu was suddenly alarmed.
Ning Shangling also nodded thoughtfully. Most of the participants in the trial of West Island were outsiders, and there were not many local disciples in West Island. To prevent the secret of the Thunder Xuan Rattan from being leaked, Ning Shangling didn't give them any hint this time. That was to say, among these people, only Huo Yudie knew the location of the Thunder Xuan Rattan.
According to this inference, Kang Ming Ming was very likely to get the clue from Huo Yudie, and this thing could be combined with Lin Yi's injury. Lin Yi might be trying to save Huo Yudie. That was why he was severely injured by Kang Ming Ming, and it was also because of this that Huo Yudie did not hesitate to sacrifice her life and reputation to stay inside to accompany him!
In just a short moment, Ning Shangling and Liu Ziyu had spontaneously formed a complete sequence of events. The more they thought about it, the more logical they felt it to be, almost certain that it was the truth.
"This Kang Ming Ming really deserves to die!" Liu Ziyu said angrily through gritted teeth.
Ning Shangling nodded with an ugly expression, not saying a word. She was far more infuriated than Liu Ziyu, but as the ruler of the western island, there was nothing she could do. After all, everything in the trial was up to fate, and it was common for people to kill others and seize their treasures. Moreover, there was no rule that she couldn't touch the Thunder Xuan Vine in advance. Even if she wanted to punish Kang Ming Ming, what reason did she have to take revenge afterwards?
What Kang Ming Ming did was shameless, but if Ning Shangling really blamed him for it, the whole West Island would become the laughing stock of the world. It was related to the reputation of West Island, so she could only swallow it.
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed, and there was still no news from Lin Yi and Huo Yudie. In fact, everyone knew that the two of them had been trapped inside and couldn't get out. The maximum time limit for a master at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm was one month, and a whole month and a half had passed. Just because the masters above the Nascent Soul Realm couldn't activate the Transmitting Formation … Even immortals couldn't come out again.
The trial in the western island was so noisy that it couldn't keep dragging on like this. After all, there had to be a final conclusion, or it would be like breaking the promise.
Although Ning Xuefei had pleaded with Ning Shangling several times these days, she, Han Jingjing, and Shanghai Laner all believed her. She asked her to try to delay it for a while, preferably until Lin Yi came back. She, Han Jingjing, and Shanghai Laner all believed it. As long as Lin Yi recovered, he would definitely find a way to get out!
However, this kind of thing couldn't be decided by Ning Shangling alone. After all, this was a big event of the whole West Island, and all the sects of other Heaven-stage Islands were paying attention to it. No matter how much she spoiled her daughter, she couldn't make fun of the reputation of the whole West Island. Delaying it for half a month was the limit, and she really couldn't delay it any longer.
Regarding this result, Ning Xuefei, who had just recovered a little from the blow of Lin Yi's serious injury, really wanted to cry but had no tears, because she already knew who was the destined winner this time. She hated this person very much, and she wouldn't entrust her life to this kind of person even if she was beaten to death. But she had no choice. After all, this represented the credibility and face of the whole West Island, and she couldn't just say no to it.
After half a month, in everyone's expectation, the Island Master's Palace finally opened to the public again. All the Trial Takers who had participated in the West Island trial were invited to the side courtyard of the palace, in the courtyard of the transmission formation. Today, the final winner of the West Island trial would be publicly judged here.
The reason why they didn't choose the more grand and formal square outside was mainly to take care of the Trial Takers. After all, these treasures would be taken away after the evaluation. As the saying went, one shouldn't show one's wealth. If they were placed in a public place outside, it was hard to guarantee that they wouldn't get into trouble later. Now they were placed in the relatively secret side courtyard of the Island Master's Palace. Although this kind of thing couldn't be completely eliminated, it was better.
The side courtyard was heavily guarded, and it was crowded with people. Not only a group of Trial Takers gathered here, but also the branch managers of the Hong's Chamber of Commerce, the Central Chamber of Commerce, the Wealthy Chamber of Commerce, and so on. As the most authoritative industry insiders, they were the important judges specially invited by West Island.
After a brief opening speech, everyone soon got to the long-awaited topic. A group of West Island disciples took out the previous registration books and asked the Trial Takers to take them out one by one to compare in public, and a group of judges evaluated them on the spot. Only the one with the highest evaluation would have the last laugh.
This was undoubtedly a Treasure Appraisal Conference. Every time someone took out a rare treasure of heaven and earth, there would be a burst of whispers in the side courtyard. Many people knew that they couldn't compare with other Trial Takers, but this time they could see so many kinds of treasures of heaven and earth, which could be regarded as an eye-opener, and they didn't come in vain.
Of course, there were also some Trial Takers who were very ambitious. Relying on the rare treasures of heaven and earth in their hands, they thought that this time they could have a chance to become Ning Shangling's son-in-law, and then they could have a meteoric rise. However, when it was Kang Ming Ming's turn, everything stopped abruptly.
Thunder Xuan Rattan! It turned out to be the legendary Thunder Xuan Rattan!
