In the rankings, apart from the four dark horses, Ling Xiao, Cold Plum, Sun Lengchan, and Long Chen, the rest of the rankings were dominated by thirteen top geniuses.
However, this also showed that the famous people weren't just for show. It really wasn't easy for Ling Xiao and the other dark horses.
"Kid, the ranking in the Treasure Hunting Battle doesn't mean anything. Maybe your luck is better, but your strength still isn't enough. In the Battle of the Kings, just wait to be crushed."
Hundred Eyed Demon Lord Wu Long had suffered too much at the hands of Ling Xiao and had always wanted revenge.
However, in the Battle of the Kings, Ling Xiao had the right to choose his opponent. Even if he wanted to fight, he might not be able to meet him.
This made him very angry.
As for the others who hated Ling Xiao, they all had the same thoughts.
Originally, Tyranny Heavenly Seas had planned to send Ling Xiao to the afterlife in the Battle of the Kings, but now it seemed that this time would have to be pushed back.
"Sun Lengchan, you're very good."
Mu Wanshuang seemed to have always regarded Sun Lengchan as her opponent. This time, she was ranked 20th, so she wasn't in a good mood.
However, she didn't feel that she was any worse than Sun Lengchan. She was just unlucky.
"I've been waiting for you. It's time for us to decide who's the number one female genius of the Heavenly Seas Empire!"
Sun Lengchan laughed.
"I say, Miss Sun, you're too unambitious. Is Tyranny Heavenly Seas really that hard to beat?"
Ling Xiao teased.
"You're wrong. It's not that he's hard to beat, it's you!"
Sun Lengchan laughed. "With you here, I can only settle for second place."
"You really dare to praise me."
Ling Xiao laughed bitterly.
"I dare to praise you, but you don't dare to admit it?"
Sun Lengchan asked.
"Why wouldn't I dare? Tyranny Heavenly Seas will soon be defeated by me! "
Ling Xiao revealed a cold smile.
"That's more like the Ling Xiao I know, haha."
Sun Lengchan looked at Ling Xiao. She actually had some different thoughts, causing her cheeks to blush.
Soon, all the results were announced.
In this treasure-hunting battle, although they had the ability to teleport out of danger at any time, there were still eight people who died in battle.
Seventy-eight people, and the remaining seventy.
And because of their poor results, the last four were also eliminated.
Therefore, only 66 martial artists were left to participate in the final battle.
At this time, all the participating cultivators were divided into small groups. They were either sitting down to rest or discussing something.
Ling Xiao's side was the most lively.
Even though Mo Yu and Zhu Shaocong came out very early, they were still lucky enough to get a place in the final battle.
One was ranked 66th, and the other was ranked 65th.
Many people secretly scolded them for being so lucky.
As for the others, they also successfully advanced to the next battle.
Looking carefully, the Celestial Empire that was originally looked down upon by everyone was actually filled with talents.
Not only were there three martial artists in the top ten, but Blue Snow and Dan Feng were also ranked pretty well.
In addition to Sun Lengchan, who was on good terms with Ling Xiao, this force was really hard to ignore.
These people burst into laughter from time to time. It seemed that everyone was so relaxed and didn't feel any pressure at all.
It was unknown whether it was ignorance or self-confidence.
"In the final battle, you will know what cruelty is!"
Lawless snorted coldly in his heart as he looked at Ling Xiao and the others, who were full of smiles.
He was a dignified Rebirth Realm powerhouse, but he actually suffered in front of these people. This enmity was probably formed.
"Congratulations to the sixty-six people who have remained, sixty-six geniuses!
You will successfully advance to the next battle — the Battle of the Kings! "
Lawless's voice sounded again, and it was very loud, as if he wanted to suppress the laughter of Ling Xiao and the others.
As his voice rang out, the originally noisy crowd immediately stopped. The entire stage became silent.
This was because all the cultivators knew that the Battle of the Kings was the main event of the White Tiger Meet. It was also the direct confrontation that would determine the final victor.
Whoever had the last laugh would laugh the best.
No matter what happened in the first two battles, the final battle would be the focus of attention.
"Like before, you will have one day and one night to rest. Go back and rest now. Tomorrow morning, this place will be the final battle. I hope you will not be afraid."
After Lawless finished his announcement, he turned and left.
There were many things that he needed to report to the higher-ups.
This time, Ling Xiao arranged for the Liquor Demon Sword and Hong Qi to protect Dan Feng and the others as they headed to the Cangjing Shrine to rest and cultivate.
As for himself, he once again headed to the Myriad Demon Graveyard.
He liked that place very much and planned to spend the day and night there.
He didn't know if he could raise his cultivation base, but he had to learn to work hard.
However, just as he was about to enter the Myriad Demon Graveyard, the Liquor Demon Sword sent a soul message.
"Something has happened. Come back immediately!"
If the Liquor Demon Sword was so anxious, it must be something big.
Ling Xiao didn't dare delay and hurried back to the Cangjing Shrine. However, he found that the place was already in ruins.
Hong Qi was protecting Dan Feng and the others as they fought a bloody battle with a group of black-clothed men.
This group of black-clothed men was extremely powerful, and there was nothing special about them.
However, the Liquor Demon Sword was nowhere to be found, and so was Cold Plum.
"I'm here. Go after them! They kidnapped Cold Plum!"
Hong Qi shouted as he slapped a black-clothed man to death.
Ling Xiao opened his Tai Chi Eye and saw a person carrying the unconscious Cold Plum a dozen miles away and speeding away.
Cold Plum's cultivation base had just broken through, but she hadn't gotten used to her new abilities, so she wasn't very strong in actual combat.
The martial artist who was holding her hostage was only at the 17th level of the Yin Yang Realm.
Ling Xiao didn't know what had happened, so he sped up and chased after them.
Along the way, he received the Liquor Demon Sword's soul message. "I'm being held back. These guys are from the Black Tortoise Shrine. They work for someone called 'Aoi Only.' I don't know anything else."
Aoi Only?
They seemed to be from the Aoi Clan. These guys actually dared to kidnap a martial artist participating in the White Tiger Gathering during the White Tiger Gathering.
Their background was very strong.
He didn't believe that Aoi Only was the mastermind. This person should be a genius from the Aoi Clan, but his cultivation base was at most at the 18th level of the Yin Yang Realm, which was on par with Aoi Fan.
Even Lawless didn't dare to make a move during the break, so how could a mere Aoi Only dare?
There must be something else behind this.
Ling Xiao didn't know how many dangers there were ahead, but he couldn't just ignore Cold Plum's situation.
Moreover, this matter was very likely targeted at him.
If he didn't save her, how could he, Ling Xiao, talk about conquering the world?
He would simply become a piece of trash.
He chased with all his might and arrived in front of a floating shrine.
He watched as that person entered.
Just as he was about to barge in, he saw a person appear outside the shrine.
"You are Ling Xiao?"
"That's right. You are Aoi Only?"
"That's right. Our Young Master wants you to go in. He has something to say to you."
Aoi Only said indifferently, "As an enemy, I want to remind you not to be stupid. I don't want you to die in the hands of our Young Master. I want to personally skin you alive!"
