However, Zhao Yinghao sneered, "Isn't it too early to be happy now? Don't forget that the Soul Seizing Palace's Elder still hasn't inspected the top ten! "
These words caused the members of the Yuan Clan to stiffen. They had indeed been overjoyed. How could they have forgotten about this matter?
"Welcome, Elder Liao!" Zhao Yinghao and the red-nosed middle-aged man walked onto the stage and shouted toward the backstage of the martial arts arena.
Patriarch Yuan's expression changed slightly. He immediately went forward and kneeled on one knee.
Defeating Armies, who was below the stage, wore a grave expression. "This is bad. I'm afraid things aren't looking good. That Elder Liao has a secret relationship with the Elixir Production Alliance. Even though he won't affect the fairness of the competition, he has the final say in the inspection!"
"If he feels that Zhao Yin's talent is more outstanding, then this bet between our two sides can be considered a draw. We can't get the market, and they can't get the old man."
The faces of the Yuan Family members, who had been dancing with joy just a moment ago, instantly darkened. Most of their joy had been washed away.
Su Yu's gaze became grave as he wondered … Elder Liao? It couldn't be such a coincidence, right?
As everyone respectfully welcomed him, a demonic cloud descended from the sky, and a shriveled old man wearing a black robe walked out from the demonic cloud. He had a faint smile on his face as he looked down on everyone.
"Greetings to the Soul Seizing Palace's Elder!" All of the martial artists present were extremely respectful, and they greeted him in unison.
Elder Liao seemed to be enjoying such a scene.
When his gaze fell on the stage, he glanced at the unconscious Zhao Yin and the pale Zhao Yinghao. His eyebrows shot up as he analyzed the situation in an instant.
"Strange … Did the Elixir Production Alliance lose the bet? Even Zhao Yin was defeated so miserably. Could it be that the Yuan Family has produced a ruthless character? "Elder Liao thought to himself.
At the same time, he glanced in the direction of the Yuan Clan and searched through the crowd. Suddenly, he found a white-haired old man. His pupils shrank, and flames of greed burned in his eyes, as if he had seen crystals rolling towards him.
Last time, Su Yu was wearing a bamboo hat, so he didn't know that Su Yu had already aged from a young man to an old man.
He locked his eyes on Su Yu, and he couldn't help but want to attack and capture him alive.
However, as he was sizing Su Yu up, he met his gaze.
Calm and collected, with the confidence of being invincible in the world.
This pair of eyes seemed somewhat familiar.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
"Am I that good-looking?" The voice was extremely abrupt, abruptly sounding out from his mind!
Elder Liao's body trembled in fear as he exclaimed, "Master, no, gongzi, it's you? Where are you? "
Su Yu was using the soul imprint to communicate with him.
Su Yu replied calmly, "Aren't you looking at me?"
Looking at you? Elder Liao's whole body shivered as he looked at Su Yu, who wore a faint smile.
"Are you the master?" Elder Liao stared at Su Yu in disbelief.
Su Yu replied calmly, "Yes, something happened to my body, and that's why I became old. Why? Are you looking for me?"
It's really him!
Elder Liao felt like killing himself. He cried, "Young Master, you should have told me in advance. You scared me to death."
He had thought that he would be able to earn tens of millions of Crystal Stones by finding a wanted criminal in the Central Plains, but who would have thought that he would actually find that little fiend!
That's right, that little fiend!
When he was just about to explain it to him through his soul, Zhao Yinghao suddenly asked him in an odd tone, "Elder Liao, are you all right?"
Elder Liao's whole body started twitching, as if he was having an epileptic fit.
Su Yu furrowed his brows and said, "Fine, let's first settle the matter in front of us."
Elder Liao felt like he had just been pardoned, and as he looked at Su Yu and the Yuan family's seats, he understood everything.
He then turned around and said, "The top ten people, come up here. I'll test them one by one."
The hearts of the Yuan Family's Master and the other Yuan family members sank. This so-called test was just an abuse of power!
If the Yuan Family's Master wasn't afraid of his status, he would have tried to reason with him on the spot.
However, how could a Soul Seizing Palace's elder be reasonable?
The crowd went back to the stage and lined up according to their rankings.
He looked at the tenth person with a sharp gaze, then said, "It's impossible."
After he passed the second person, he shook his head calmly.
The third person shook his head.
The fourth person …
Just like before, none of them were valued in the later stages of the test. After all, a person's martial arts prowess was a combination of all aspects, and it could decide everything.
This continued until the eighth person, Yuan Wanbi, who was ranked third.
Her heart thumped slightly, and she tried her best to look calm and beautiful. She hoped that she would be able to make herself look better.
As Elder Liao walked past her, he hesitated for a moment and wondered … Should I help this Yuan family member?
However, after he thought about it for a moment, he felt that it was inappropriate. After all, if her master wanted him to help her, he wouldn't have stayed silent.
Such a short pause caused everyone's hearts to clench. Could it be that …
Yuan Wanbi's heart rose to her throat. Could it be that …
"It's impossible." Elder Liao's face was expressionless as he walked past Yuan Wanbi, who had a frozen smile on her face.
The next person to go was Zhao Yin.
The Yuan Family's Master sighed inwardly. He knew that with Zhao Yin's talent, it would be difficult for him to overlook such a genius, even if he was Elder Liao. Hence, it was reasonable for him to be chosen as an extra. In fact, it couldn't be said that the Elixir Production Alliance was biased towards him.
Zhao Yinghao heaved a sigh of relief. It was fortunate that Zhao Yin's martial arts prowess was outstanding, and he didn't embarrass him. Even though he couldn't defeat the old man, he still managed to preserve the market.
If they really lost the market, the Elixir Production Alliance's losses would be immeasurable, and they might even suffer a great blow.
Their thoughts were similar to those of the other martial artists present.
However, in the next moment, Elder Liao ignored the unconscious Zhao Yin, who was lying on the ground, and went straight to Yuan Yingying's side. He wore a smile on his face and praised her, "Not bad, young lady. You managed to defeat a Two Crystals Fairy Realm Expert with just a Three Crystals Half Fairy Realm Cultivation. In the Soul Seizing Palace, only the famous disciples in its history were able to achieve such a feat. I have high hopes for you, and if you continue to work hard in the Soul Seizing Palace, I will recommend you to enter the inner sanctum."
What? Not only did he ignore Zhao Yin, but he even praised Yuan Yingying!
Everyone's pupils contracted when they heard that Elder Liao was going to recommend her to enter the inner sanctum.
The inner sanctum was like a legend to the Blue Mountain Range's factions.
It was rumored that the disciples who entered the inner sanctum would have a meteoric rise in the future, and their cultivation would at least reach the Almighty Divine Master Realm. Even if they weren't strong enough, they could still easily reach the late stage of the Fairy Realm.
Anyone who could enter the inner sanctum to further their cultivation was definitely a dragon among men.
However, the most important matter was that one needed a recommendation to enter the inner sanctum. All of the Soul Seizing Palace's outer sanctum elders had a recommendation quota.
They would usually only give this quota to their disciples in name, and they would never give it to an outsider.
Even the Elixir Production Alliance didn't have such a privilege.
The crowd felt as if they had been struck by lightning.
Did the Soul Seizing Palace's Elder Liao run into a demon today?
It wasn't a secret that he had a good relationship with the Elixir Production Alliance.
However, he had ignored Zhao Yin today and had even given the Yuan family a great favor. It was as if the sun had just risen from the west!
It wasn't just them, as even the Yuan Family's Master, as well as the Yuan family's core elders, were dumbfounded.
This matter's development was unconstrained, and it left them confused and bewildered.
The Yuan Family's Master widened his eyes. He couldn't help but wonder … Did Elder Liao forget to take his medicine when he went out this morning?
Zhao Yinghao was also dumbfounded. He wondered … What kind of trick is Elder Liao playing? Is he playing hard to get?
Yuan Wanbi was also dumbfounded. Inner sanctum … Is my sister going to enter the inner sanctum? She will soar into the sky!
Even the Shangguan family might not be a match for the Soul Seizing Palace's inner sanctum!
She felt as if she could see her sister soaring into the sky, while she could only stand on the ground and look up at her like an ordinary person.
It was just as her sister had said … There would come a day when she would look up at her sister and ask her to recognize her as her elder sister.
Yuan Yingying was quite calm and composed. It seemed like she had just experienced a lot of pleasant surprises, and her state of mind was quite calm.
"Elder Liao, many thanks for your concern. I will always remember it." Yuan Yingying saluted him.
Elder Liao chuckled, while he thought inwardly … Young master, my performance was quite good. I have already given enough face to the Yuan family.
However, someone suddenly spoke at such an inopportune time.
"Elder Liao, it seems like you still haven't examined my son, Zhao Yin," Zhao Yinghao reminded him.
Elder Liao's expression stiffened, and anger welled up in his heart. Why is this guy so cold? Can't he see that I'm acting like a grandson?
Elder Liao steeled his heart and asked in a deep voice, "Who? Zhao Yin? Is he the guy who was beaten unconscious? Our Soul Seizing Palace doesn't dare to accept a genius like him. "
Upon hearing this, everyone was bewildered.
Did the Yuan family give Elder Liao great benefits so that he would join the Yuan family?
At this moment, Zhao Yinghao finally realized that Elder Liao wasn't scheming against him. He had truly joined the Yuan family.
When Zhao Yinghao was just about to argue with him, he discovered that Elder Liao's back was facing the audience, and he was signaling him with his eyes.
Zhao Yinghao's heart shook, and he wondered … Is he being held hostage, or is there a terrifying expert in the audience that forced Elder Liao to act like this?
Zhao Yinghao was startled, and he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth. He felt slightly better now, as Elder Liao hadn't joined the Yuan family, and he had done this for a reason.
The Yuan Family's Master smiled and said, "Zhao Yinghao, since this is the case, shouldn't our bet come into effect?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yinghao felt humiliated, and he was filled with hatred. After all, the Yuan family's power would surely grow after the death of the market, and it would be difficult for them to suppress the Yuan family.
However, Elder Liao was now being threatened by someone, and he couldn't help him, so he could only swallow his resentment.
"I'm a man of my word, so take it! These are all of the market's land deeds. "Zhao Yinghao threw a large pile of land deeds at the Yuan Family's Master.
The Yuan Family's Master caught them with a smile, and he felt extremely carefree.
After being suppressed for half a century, he had finally managed to turn the tables.
"Let's go." Zhao Yinghao was infuriated, and he left with Zhao Yin.
Before leaving, he took a deep look at Yuan Yingying and Su Yu.
One of them was the Yuan family's peerless genius, while the other was a wanted criminal in the central prefecture.
