Hearing King Zhao Zhong's question, someone immediately went up and told him what had happened.
"Mr. Zhao."
Seeing King Zhao's arrival, Wang Dongcheng acted as though he had seen reinforcements. He immediately complained and shouted, "Hurry up and capture this lawless bastard. He actually dared to start a fight in the headquarters of the Giant Company. This is simply disregarding the rules of the Giant Company. He doesn't even place the company's rules in his eyes.
"If we don't punish this brat harshly, in the future, will there still be people who will listen to our Giant Company?!"
His voice was stern and he demanded the Giant Company to punish Xia Ping.
"Shut up."
Zhao Zhong coldly spoke, "I know who is right and who is wrong in this matter. Do you think you are in the right just because you spoke louder? Who gave you the right to question an Evolved Master? You have no evidence and yet you dare to casually spread rumors and insult the reputation of an Evolved Master. You should be considered lucky that we didn't kill you on the spot. You actually dared to complain?! "
"Due to your vile behavior today, you don't need to participate in this expedition. Pack up your things and go home."
He chased Wang Dongcheng out of this place.
What?!
Hearing this, Wang Dongcheng's expression drastically changed. To an Evolved Master, this expedition was simply a huge opportunity. It was equivalent to an ordinary person getting rich overnight. It was something that could only be discovered and not sought.
Now, he was actually chased out of this expedition. This was simply killing his path to becoming a King. He was simply crazy. He didn't expect Zhao Zhong to actually dare to do this.
"Mr. Zhao."
Wang Dongcheng immediately cursed, "You can't do this, I'm a member of the Wang family, my Wang family's ancestor has a relationship with the Giant Company, and I've also made great contributions to the Giant Company, how can you do this to me?!"
"Just because I offended a b * stard, you actually want to chase me out of this expedition? This is too ridiculous. Is your mother's brain flooded with water?!"
"If my Wang Clan's ancestor heard this news, what would he think? This is unfair to my Wang Clan, unfair!"
He was simply infuriated and didn't care about anything else.
Everyone was dumbfounded. Who would have thought that Wang Dongcheng would actually dare to say such words? He even scolded King Zhao for having water flooded his brain. His guts were simply boundless. What gave him such courage?
Bang!
Zhao Zhong didn't waste time talking nonsense with him. He slapped Wang Dongcheng with his palm, like a giant crushing an ant. Wang Dongcheng fainted on the ground with a single slap. He foamed at the mouth, and his eyes turned white. He couldn't speak anymore.
It was estimated that he would not be able to wake up for several days.
"Drag him away. Tell him that Wang Dongcheng withdrew from the ruins operation due to physical discomfort." Zhao Zhong stood with his hands behind his back and gave the order. The guards beside him immediately stepped forward and carried Wang Dongcheng away. Soon, they disappeared from everyone's sight.
The Evolved Jing masters in the surroundings all shook their heads. To think that he dared to insult a king. Did he not know how to spell the word 'death'? It was already lucky that he had only been knocked unconscious.
Some Kings were hot-tempered and directly killed Wang Dongcheng, guaranteeing that the Wang Family wouldn't dare to say anything.
Xia Ping quietly watched from the side and didn't say anything. He also knew that it was impossible to kill this idiot in the headquarters of the Giant Company. After all, there were kings around.
Now that he had kicked the other party out of the ruins operation, it was enough to make the other party regret it. He would probably be angry for the next few years, wondering why he had been so stupid to do such a thing.
"Alright, although there are some disturbances, it doesn't matter much."
Zhao Zhong solemnly said, "I believe everyone already knows about this. This time, the Giant Company is planning to open the 88th ruin."
The 88th ruin?!
Xia Ping's eyes flashed. He knew that the number of the ruins represented the order of discovery. This didn't mean that the earlier the ruins were discovered, the better. After all, if they were discovered first, the ruins would have long been explored by others. All the treasures inside would have been taken away, and there wouldn't be any treasures left for the later generations.
Hence, the later the ruins were discovered, the better it would be. There would also be more treasures left inside.
Although the 88th ruin wasn't the last to be discovered, it wasn't the first either. There should still be many treasures left behind. This news caused many Evolved Jing masters to be excited.
"The 88th ruin is very special. It is different from the other dangerous ruins. It is specially used to select elites. It's similar to an examination."
Zhao Zhong continued, "However, this examination is extremely dangerous. If one doesn't pass the examination, the Evolved Jing masters who entered would die without exception."
"Of course, after passing the examination, there would be many benefits. Depending on the difficulty of the examination, some would obtain treasures, some would obtain unparalleled ultimate arts, and some would obtain precious herbs."
"In any case, those who pass the examination would obtain great benefits, allowing their strength to improve by leaps and bounds."
He explained some of the inside information about the 88th ruin.
"Mr. Zhao, since that's the case, what exactly is the examination for the 88th ruin?" someone asked.
Zhao Zhong shook his head. "This ruin requires the examination to be strictly confidential. Hence, those who have participated in the examination are all tight-lipped. Not a single bit of the examination content has been leaked."
"Hence, when the time comes, you guys can only find out for yourselves. No one else can help you."
He indicated that he also didn't know what the examination content was.
Everyone was helpless and felt a trace of fear toward the unknown. Although the rewards for entering the ruin were very rich, if one didn't pass, they would die. The consequences were very severe.
"The death rate for the examination this time is very high. It's above 50%." Zhao Zhong looked at everyone. "Hence, it's very natural to be afraid. If any of you are unwilling to participate, you can choose to withdraw now. I guarantee that no one will stop you."
However, no one flinched, and no one chose to withdraw.
All the Evolved Jing masters present had experienced many life-or-death situations. What was a 50% death rate? They had all been to places with 90% death rates.
How could one obtain treasures without paying a price? Their dad wasn't an invincible king, so it was impossible for him to have prepared so many treasures for them to cultivate.
As the saying went, seeking riches amidst danger. Without huge risks, one would want to pursue high returns. How could there be such a good thing in this world?
"Alright, since no one wants to withdraw, let's set off now." Zhao Zhong didn't hesitate and moved immediately. "Take the spaceship to the 88th ruin. When you get there, someone will naturally pick you up."
After saying that, he waved his hand and turned to leave.
At that moment, a spaceship descended from the sky. The void energy vibrated, immediately sweeping up all the Evolved Jing masters on the square, including Xia Ping, and teleporting them to the inside of the spaceship.
Whoosh!
