Xing Jue hurriedly stood up and picked up the jade pendant …
Immediately after, he looked at the jade pendant in his hand as if it was a rare treasure. This jade pendant was indeed a little special. Although it didn't have an overly gorgeous pattern, as long as one looked at it carefully, there was actually a sparkling object slowly flowing in the jade pendant. It was obviously a treasure.
After looking at it for a while, Xing Jue carefully put it in his bosom. Regarding this kind of thing that his father had left for him, Xing Jue didn't want to put it in his storage bracelet. Instead, he wanted to keep it close to his body.
"Heping Village, Uncle Pan. Perhaps he will know about my father." Xing Jue recalled the words that his father had left for him and said with a smile.
At this moment, Xing Jue made a decision in his heart. He would definitely visit Uncle Pan when he had the time. Perhaps he would be able to learn about his parents there.
After sorting out his emotions, Xing Jue prepared to return to that city. Although he didn't successfully hunt a God-Level Magical Beast, Xing Jue still had to rush back within the stipulated time limit.
Even if he couldn't get first place in the Hunting Competition, he had to at least secure second place. Moreover, with his current gains, Xing Jue felt that it wasn't impossible for him to get first place.
However, just as Xing Jue was about to leave, a pit not far away suddenly attracted Xing Jue's attention. This was because there was a faint red light flashing there.
Walking towards the light, Xing Jue was even more astonished to discover that in a small pit, there was actually a red crystal with a faint light lingering around it. In that crystal, Xing Jue also felt a powerful Soul Energy.
"A beast soul! Oh my god, it's actually a beast soul! "Looking at the red crystal, Xing Jue suddenly laughed out loud excitedly.
In the past, Elder Feng had once given Xing Jue a beast soul. Although its shape was slightly different from this one, it was more or less the same. Moreover, with that powerful Soul Energy, Xing Jue dared to conclude that this was definitely a beast soul.
Xing Jue carefully placed the Beast Soul into his bosom. At this moment, he had already guessed the origin of this Beast Soul.
This must have been left behind by the Nine-tailed Demon Fox. Now that the Nine-tailed Demon Fox's corpse had been destroyed by a powerful force, this beast soul was the best proof of killing it. In this way, Xing Jue had absolute confidence in obtaining first place in this hunting competition.
Thinking of this, Xing Jue did not hesitate anymore. He moved and started to fly towards the city at an extremely fast speed.
On the ninth day of the hunting competition, the disciples of the various factions had already returned to the city in succession. On the tenth day, other than Xing Jue, everyone else had already arrived.
At this moment, nineteen disciples were standing in an orderly manner in the plaza of the city, while the four elders were standing in front of them in an imposing manner.
However, at this moment, the Great Elder of the Inner Cabinet had a face full of worry. "Until now, Xing Jue still hasn't returned. Did something happen to him?"
Not only the Great Elder of the Inner Cabinet, but Wang Yanran and Zhao Yue were also extremely worried. After all, they had a close relationship with Xing Jue.
Especially Wang Yanran, she was really afraid that Xing Jue might have met with an accident while hunting the Magical Beasts. Whenever she thought that something might have happened to Xing Jue, she could not help but clench her fair and jade-like hands.
"Elder Luo, that disciple of your Yufeng Pavilion, did he really go to hunt a Divine Level Magical Beast? Haha … "The elder of the Nangong Family said to the Great Elder of the Inner Cabinet with a smile. His aged face was full of mockery.
"Hmph!" The Great Elder just glanced at him and did not say anything.
"Xing Jue, that bastard. He is really a burden." At this moment, Hu Bin also muttered in a low voice.
"Just take care of yourself. Junior brother Xing Jue is much stronger than you." After hearing Hu Bin's words, Zhao Yue retorted angrily. After all, Xing Jue could be said to have saved her life. At this moment, her impression of Xing Jue could be said to be very good.
"You … hmph!" After being scolded by Zhao Yue, Hu Bin was extremely angry. After that, he coldly snorted and did not say anything. He realized that as long as he targeted Xing Jue, Zhao Yue would definitely come out to help him.
At this moment, the elder of the Nangong Family said to the disciples below, "Alright, there is not much time left. Disciples of the various factions, take out the results of your hunt." At this moment, the elder of the Nangong Family said to the disciples below.
After that, the disciples of the various factions followed his words and took out the corpses of the Magical Beasts that they had hunted.
After some calculations, the scores of the various factions were listed out.
Yufeng Pavilion: 260 points
Nether Palace: 280 points
Medicinal Mountain Villa: 320 points
Nangong Family: 850 points
"Aiyoyo, Elder Luo, what do you think happened to your Yufeng Pavilion?"
"Isn't the result this year a little too bad? To actually be ranked last."
After the elder of the Nangong Family finished checking the scores, he curled his lips and said with a sinister smile. It was as if he had obtained a rare treasure, and he could not stop smiling.
"Hmph! My Yufeng Pavilion still has one disciple who has not returned. How do you know? "The great elder of the Inner Pavilion glanced at the elder of the Nangong Family and said coldly.
"Why? Do you think that with the strength of a Beginner Level Wu Zun, he can still defy the heavens? "The elder of the Nangong Family said harshly. He did not believe that the power of a single person could change anything through torture.
"Hmph." After hearing his words, the great elder of the Inner Pavilion snorted coldly and turned his head, ignoring him. Actually, the great elder of the Inner Pavilion did not expect that Xing Jue could help Yufeng Pavilion obtain the first place in the Hunting Competition. However, he felt that as long as Xing Jue was there, it would not be a problem for them to maintain their second place.
At this moment, the elder of the Medicinal Mountain Villa suddenly said, "Inner Pavilion Elder, since the time is almost up, why don't we wait?"
After all, his impression of Xing Jue could be said to be extremely good. So, he naturally did not wish for Xing Jue to be disqualified just because he arrived a little late. Moreover, he did not wish for the Nether Hall to benefit greatly from this.
"Alright then." After hearing the elder of the Medicinal Mountain Villa speak, the elder of the Nangong Family reluctantly agreed and did not say anything else.
As time passed, everyone who was concerned about Xing Jue started to become anxious. As for those who had conflicts with Xing Jue, their faces were filled with schadenfreude. To some people, they could not wait for Xing Jue to die in the Magic Beast Mountain Range.
At this moment, the elder of the Nether Palace suddenly spoke, "Hey, Elder Luo, time is indeed almost up. Why don't you announce the ranking of this Hunting Competition?"
This time, the Nether Palace had actually lost to the Medicinal Mountain Villa. Fortunately, Yufeng Pavilion had unexpectedly become the last. Therefore, at this moment, he did not want Xing Jue to return. After all, if there was one more person, they would not be able to maintain their third place.
"Elder Luo, it is not that I do not want to give Yufeng Pavilion a chance. However, we cannot let everyone wait here for a long time just because of one disciple of Yufeng Pavilion, right?" After the elder of the Nether Palace spoke, the elder of the Nangong Family also looked at Elder Luo and sneered.
"Alright." After a moment of silence, Elder Luo finally compromised. Actually, he had been worried that something had happened to Xing Jue. Until now, when Xing Jue had not returned, he became even more anxious.
Therefore, at this moment, he could not care too much. He could only let them announce the results of this Hunting Competition as soon as possible so that he could go and find Xing Jue.
Although this time's results were too embarrassing, Xing Jue's safety was more important.
Seeing the helpless expression of the Great Elder of the Inner Cabinet, the elder of the Nangong Family became even more proud. Then, he smiled and said, "I announce the results of this Hunting Competition …"
"Wait …" However, at this moment, a young man's voice, like a muffled thunder, rang out at the city gate.
Looking towards the direction of the voice, they saw Xing Jue slowly walking towards the city gate. When the Great Elder of the Inner Cabinet, Wang Yanran and the others saw Xing Jue, they finally felt relieved.
"Sorry everyone, I came back a little late. However … I think I am not late, right?" Xing Jue walked to the center of the square and said to the crowd with a smile.
"Xing Jue, the results of the Hunting Competition have been counted. You are the only one left. Quickly take out your prey." Seeing that Xing Jue had returned safely, the Great Elder of the Inner Cabinet smiled and said to Xing Jue.
"Okay, okay." Xing Jue smiled and walked to the center of the crowd. With a wave of his sleeve, the corpses of Magical Beasts appeared one after another. When the corpses of the high ranked Magical Beasts fell to the ground, everyone except Wang Yanran was dumbfounded. That was because it was too inconceivable.
The Great Elder had a gratified smile on his face. He started to rejoice that he had brought Xing Jue here because Xing Jue had given him a big surprise. Looking at the corpses of the High Level Magical Beasts and the Middle Level Magical Beasts, the Great Elder felt that it would not be a problem for him to maintain his second position.
"24 High Level Magical Beasts and 10 Middle Level Magical Beasts. Xing Jue actually obtained 400 points!" At this moment, the Great Elder of the Hidden Medicine Mountain Villa said in shock. Because Xing Jue's own score was actually higher than the Hidden Medicine Mountain Villa's overall score. This was indeed a little too strong.
"Heavens!"
After hearing the words of the Hidden Medicine Mountain Villa's Elder, the crowd went into an uproar.
Even Liu Teng of the Nangong Family looked at Xing Jue seriously. Because Xing Jue's score was actually higher than his.
"It seems that no one can take away my Yufeng Pavilion's second position." The Great Elder of the Inner Pavilion said with a satisfied smile.
Then he looked at the Nangong Family's Elder complacently. He really wanted to see what kind of expression the Nangong Family's Elder had on his face. When he saw the Nangong Family's Elder's expression, the Great Elder couldn't help but smile happily.
Because at this moment, the Nangong Family's Elder's face could be said to be extremely ugly.
Apart from the Nangong Family's Elder, the Nether Hall's Elder was even more miserable. Because of this, the Nether Hall's Elder had become the last. With such a result, he would inevitably be punished when he returned to the Nether Hall.
Compared to the two of them, the Hidden Medicine Mountain Villa's Elder was smiling happily. He didn't really care about the second position. What he cared about was whether or not he could trample on the Nether Hall. So at this moment, he was happy for Xing Jue's result.
"Inner Pavilion Elder, I think we can announce the results now." The Great Elder of the Inner Pavilion stroked his long beard and said to the Nangong Family's Elder with a smile.
After hearing the Great Elder of the Inner Pavilion's words, the Nangong Family's Elder's face twitched. Then he coldly snorted and said, "In that case, I will announce the results of this Hunting Competition."
"Elders, I still have a prey that I haven't taken out yet." However, when the Nangong Family's Elder was about to announce the final result, Xing Jue said something shocking.
"What?" After hearing Xing Jue's words, everyone looked at Xing Jue in disbelief. Currently, Xing Jue's result was already abnormal enough, but he still had a prey that he hadn't handed over?
