Everyone was dumbfounded.
Rakshasa was dumbfounded.
No one could have imagined that the domineering Duke Luo Bu, who did not need to speak or fight, would comply with the wishes of the masses and leave the Massacre Palace just like that.
"What kind of joke is this?"
"Is he still the arrogant Duke of Ancient Blood County?!"
"I can't believe it!"
…
The cultivators could not believe it. Rakshasa could not believe it either!
"Duke Luo Mo is so cowardly?"
"Something's wrong. The Duke came from the lower realm and has always been domineering. Why would he give up so easily?"
"He can't be afraid of the Sage's clone. He has four Sage clones protecting him!"
"I can't figure it out. I can't figure it out …"
…
Floating Light Chu He furrowed his brows.
"During the Dao sparring in the void, he used that move to warn us …"
"He is domineering in all aspects to suppress us and reduce the difficulty of finding fortuitous opportunities …"
"The Massacre Palace test is so difficult. It means that the fortuitous opportunities are heaven-defying. Why would he give up so easily?"
…
What he could not figure out was the Curse of Luo.
Not only could he not figure it out, but he even had the urge to grit his teeth when he saw Xie Tian give up!
He thought about how he was beaten up by 'Luo Mo' as soon as he came to the lower realm …
He thought about how he was bullied by 'Luo Mo' in front of outsiders during the Dao sparring in the void …
He thought about how he was humiliated by 'Five Strings 81 Slashes' …
"Damn it. He's so domineering that he won't even let himself go. He's so cowardly in the face of the Sage's clone!"
…
"Hahahaha, hahahaha …"
A burst of maniacal laughter attracted everyone's attention to Fan Yin again.
Fan Yin was very proud.
However, apart from pride, there was also a strong sense of mockery in his laughter.
"Heh, it's not out of my expectations."
Fan Yin shook his head and said something shocking.
"It's not out of his expectations?"
"Could it be that he already guessed that Luo Mo would give up?"
"That's impossible. Luo Mo's methods are unpredictable. Who could have guessed it … eh?"
…
Gradually, everyone seemed to have found an explanation for their suspicions, and their expressions immediately became strange.
"Could it be that Royal Prince Luo Mo was worried that he would fail the trial, so he took advantage of the situation …?"
This thought appeared in almost everyone's mind.
"Absolutely!"
It seemed that Xie Tian's giving up had confirmed his previous speculation. Shangguan Yu shouted excitedly, "Even the doppelganger of a Sage can't break through. No matter how strong Luo Mo is, how can he surpass a Sage?"
As soon as he added this, everyone's doubts disappeared even faster. What replaced it was disdain directed at Xie Tian.
"Heh, he's strong, but he's not even as brave as Qiu Jiu!"
"Isn't that right? Although Qiu Jiu was defeated by him, at least Qiu Jiu had the guts to barge into Tu Gong!"
"Looks like this Royal Prince Luo Mo isn't as scary as I had imagined!"
…
On the side, King Robin's expression changed again.
"Could it be true?"
"It's very possible. He even dared to use Curse of Luo. How could he be afraid of trouble?"
"Unless he was really sure that he couldn't pass Tu Gong, so he followed Fan Yin's excuse …"
"If that's the case, didn't Fan Yin help him?"
"If Fan Yin didn't expose him, he would be helping him. But Fan Yin exposed Royal Prince Luo Mo's thoughts, and now everyone knows!"
…
Curse of Luo and Qiu Jiu looked at each other. They couldn't believe that happiness would come so unexpectedly.
"Heh, this is retribution!"
"Haha, I can't believe I'll fall!" Curse of Luo was very happy. He glanced at Fan Yin and thought, "This Sage is also very cunning!"
Even though everyone around him was looking at him with disdain, Xie Tian was still expressionless.
After returning to the side of the Third King, he sat down cross-legged and turned a deaf ear to what was happening around him.
Seeing this, everyone laughed in their hearts and couldn't help but look forward to it.
"He doesn't even dare to try. What if he passes? This Luo Mo is really stupid!"
"Great, now that he's giving up, we'll have one less strong opponent!"
"This opportunity will definitely belong to one of us!"
"Let's continue!"
…
It was as if Xie Tian's giving up had injected a great amount of motivation into the crowd. Not only did the crowd's momentum to pass Tu Gong not decrease, but it was also in full swing.
Unfortunately, there were very few people who could stay in Tu Gong for more than ten breaths, let alone pass.
"I don't believe it!"
Shangguan Yunyi, who was imagining that the opportunity of Tu Gong was reserved for him, could not sit still anymore. After adjusting his state of mind, he walked towards Tu Gong.
With an imposing manner, he pulled away a cultivator from the lower realm who wanted to compete with him and shouted confidently, "Opportunities are left to the fated. I'd like to see if this Tu Gong can stop me!"
Creak …
The golden door opened.
Shangguan Yunyi stepped into the palace.
Creak …
Unexpectedly, before the tightly shut golden door could be completely closed, another creaking sound rang out.
Bam!
Following an explosive sound, the golden door opened again at lightning speed, and a figure was blasted out along with two wooden clogs, falling heavily onto the ground.
Smack …
Smack …
The two wooden clogs smashed into Shangguan Yunyi's face, causing his nose to bleed.
But the crowd did not laugh at him.
It was not that he was not funny.
It was that there was something even funnier waiting for them to laugh at.
"Damn!"
"This, isn't this too fast?"
"The golden door didn't even have time to close completely before it opened again!"
"This speed, no wonder he's a Heaven's Favorite from the upper realm!"
"Amitabha, I'm going to break the precepts … Hahahaha …"
…
Amidst the roaring laughter, Shangguan Yunyi returned with his hand covering his nose.
"What a disgrace! Get lost!"
Shangguan Yu scolded him sternly. How could he let such a laughable grandson stand next to him?
Seeing that not only were the crowd laughing at him, even his unreliable Sixth Forefather was scolding him, Shangguan Yunyi wanted to die.
"I'm a Heaven's Favorite from the Outer Heaven Palace, and I've never been so disgraced in the upper realm. This lower realm … is ridiculous!"
Laughing was laughing.
Shangguan Yunyi's experience reminded the crowd of how terrifying the Tu Gong was.
Therefore, they could not help but think of something.
"That's strange, Shangguan Yunyi is a Heaven's Favorite from the upper realm!"
"He couldn't even stay for one breath, but that female cultivator stayed for 20 breaths!"
"Yes, that female cultivator!"
…
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Everyone's gaze was looking for Tian Yi, but it was a pity that they didn't see Tian Yi. Instead, they saw a person who had lost his soul and was walking towards Tu Gong aimlessly.
"A deity?"
Shangguan Yunyi's eyes narrowed, and a trace of malice flashed across his eyes.
He could not forget that the deity from the lower realm that had humiliated him for no reason was among them!
"Heh, deity, I'll let you have a taste of being abused!"
Thinking of this, Shangguan Yunyi shouted at the approaching deity, "Kongming Deity, there's a Tu Gong here. Do you dare to enter?"
The deity turned a deaf ear to him. He did not even look at him, and continued walking aimlessly.
"You … humph!"
Although the deity was ignoring him, he was still walking toward the golden door. Shangguan Yunyi sneered and did not speak again.
Creak …
The golden door opened.
The deity stepped in.
Xie Tian opened his eyes.
The crowd discussed.
"How long can he last?"
"I'm afraid he'll be thrown out before I can finish my sentence …"
"That's unlikely. The deity can exchange a few blows with Hei Yi!"
…
Time passed while the crowd discussed.
Three breaths.
Six breaths.
Ten breaths.
After ten breaths, Shangguan Yunyi's face was pale, and his mind was filled with disbelief.
The crowd's expressions gradually changed, as if they had not expected the deity to be so strong.
Thirteen breaths.
Fifteen breaths.
Seventeen breaths.
"How is this possible?"
"He's as strong as Qiu Jiu!"
…
At this time, Qiu Jiu's expression was unsightly as well.
Seventeen breaths had passed, and the deity whom he had completely ignored during the Void Debate had not been thrown out by the Tu Gong!
"Twenty breaths!"
"Unbelievable!"
"He's the same as that female cultivator …"
…
At this time, even Floating Light Chu He's expression changed.
They, who believed that they were on par with Qiu Jiu, did not dare to imagine that a lower-realm genius could surpass Qiu Jiu in a certain aspect!
As time passed, the area outside Tu Gong became increasingly quiet.
Amidst the silence, the crowd became even more astonished.
Twenty-three breaths!
Twenty-five breaths!
Creak …
Bang!
As the crowd heaved sighs of relief, the miserable deity was finally thrown out.
However, after landing on the ground, the somewhat crazed deity said something that caused everyone to gasp.
"Hahahaha, what a joke! How could you have imagined that even though you snatched Xie Tian's fortuitous opportunity and gave it to me, I could only last for twenty-five breaths? Hahahaha … "
