There's a bounty on me?
The night passed, and the next day, the preliminaries for the twelve halls of the Black Cloud Mansion officially began.
In the preliminaries, each hall would send out ten participants, so the twelve halls would send out a total of one hundred and twenty people.
Then, twelve of these people would be chosen, and they would head to the Black Cloud Mansion to participate in the preliminaries of the Divine Palace selection.
After passing the preliminaries, they would head to the main hall to participate in the actual selection.
However, this wasn't the case for the thirty-six branches of the Divine Palace.
This was because there were differences between the strong and the weak within the sub-mansion. The situation of each sub-mansion was somewhat different.
A branch like the Black Cloud Mansion had thirty-six halls, so there would be thirty-six people from the Black Cloud Mansion who could pass the preliminaries and head to the main hall to participate in the actual selection.
In other words, the Black Cloud Mansion had thirty-six people, and these thirty-six people would be chosen from the Black Cloud Mansion and the thirty-six halls below it.
In reality, the Black Cloud Mansion was the lowest level of the thirty-six branches of the Divine Palace.
This was because the branches of the Divine Palace were divided into three levels. The lowest level was the Black Cloud Mansion, which had thirty-six halls, and the highest level was the Divine Palace, which had seventy-two halls.
Some of the more powerful branches even had a hundred and eight halls.
As for the number of halls that could be set up in the sub-palace, it was not up to the sub-palace to decide, but rather, the main palace to decide.
Each of the thirty-six halls had to have at least one Saint King level hall master and thirty-six Saint Ruler level hall masters.
Aside from the branch master, each branch of the seventy-two halls needed at least three Saint Kings and over a hundred Saint Rulers.
Before the calamity, the Nine Cloud Mansion was a branch of the Divine Palace with seventy-two halls, and even before that, it was a powerful branch with a hundred and eight halls.
Unfortunately, things had changed with the passage of time. The current Nine Cloud Mansion had long disappeared, and only the Nine Cloud Hall remained.
As for the branch of the Divine Palace with a hundred and eight halls, not only did they need eight Saint Kings, but the hall masters and deacons of each hall needed to be Saint Rulers as well.
Only after meeting these requirements could they become the strongest branch of the Divine Palace.
However, there was only one branch among the 36 branches of the Divine Palace that had 108 halls.
Apart from that, there were more than ten sub-mansions with seventy-two halls. The rest were sub-mansions like the Black Cloud Mansion.
However, even a sub-mansion like the Black Cloud Mansion was still very powerful. Moreover, there were many geniuses in the preliminaries of the Black Cloud Mansion.
The number of halls each branch palace had was equivalent to the number of people they had to head to the main palace and participate in the official selection. This was also considered as the greatest selection of the strongest geniuses.
Although the Black Tiger Hall's preliminary round was only a gathering of the twelve halls, Qin Shaofeng still noticed that there were at least ten Earth Sage Tier contestants among the hundred and twenty participants.
For this preliminary round, the Black Tiger Hall had specially built ten arenas so that ten matches could be held at the same time.
As soon as he entered the arena, Qin Shaofeng felt a few gazes filled with malice. Without even looking back, Qin Shaofeng knew that they were the gazes of the Black Tiger Hall's contestants.
However, Qin Shaofeng didn't even care about Shao Yunjie, so why would he care about others?
However, when he thought about how Shao Yunjie had come to provoke him early in the morning, Qin Shaofeng felt very helpless.
Early in the morning, before Qin Shaofeng and the others had left, Shao Yunjie had brought a few disciples of the Black Tiger Hall to Qin Shaofeng and told him that he definitely wouldn't lose to him this time.
After that, he had ridiculed Qin Shaofeng, telling Qin Shaofeng not to admit defeat and run away.
Qin Shaofeng was rendered speechless by such an inferior method of provocation.
Moreover, Qin Shaofeng hadn't taken Shao Yunjie seriously from the beginning to the end, so he didn't care about his provocation at all.
In fact, without Shao Yunjie's provocation, Qin Shaofeng wouldn't have left directly.
Leave?
What kind of joke was this?
If he left, how was he going to complete his two big missions?
Not only would he not leave, but he would also defeat all his opponents in this preliminary round and obtain first place.
Who cared about Shao Yunjie? Who cared about the Black Tiger Holy King? Qin Shaofeng didn't care about them at all.
…
Before the contestants had all arrived, the preliminary round began very quickly.
The participants of the competition were randomly assigned numbers 1 to 120. With people from other halls around, the Black Tiger Holy King did not dare to play any tricks on this stage.
After the numbers were assigned, the preliminary round began very quickly.
The contestants were randomly assigned numbers and then fought one after another. In other words, number 1 would fight number 120, and number 2 would fight number 119.
Qin Shaofeng was number 57, and his opponent was number 64. Jun Shaoyang and the others were number 6, 32, 39, and 84 respectively.
As for Shao Yaofeng and the others, although they were nominally contestants from Jiuyun Hall, they were already standing by Shao Yunjie's side. They had no intention of staying with Jiuyun Hall.
However, Qin Shaofeng didn't care.
The first batch of contestants were number 1 to 10, and their opponents were number 111 to 120.
As a result, Qin Shaofeng's match was arranged last, and Jun Shaoyang was the first to fight.
However, Jun Shaoyang's luck was better. His opponent was only a third level Saint Level expert.
During this period of time, Jun Shaoyang's cultivation had risen by one level with the help of the old hall master. He was already an early eighth level Saint Level expert.
Qin Shaofeng wanted to give Jun Shaoyang a first-grade ninth level Saint Spirit Pill to raise his cultivation to the earth saint level.
However, the old hall master stopped Qin Shaofeng from doing so.
The reason was simple. The old hall master said that with Jun Shaoyang's potential, even if he could pass the preliminaries, he wouldn't be able to do so in the preliminaries.
More importantly, the preliminaries were held in the Black Cloud Manor, the territory of the Black Cloud Saint Emperor. With Jun Shaoyang's current situation, he probably wouldn't be able to return if he went there.
Qin Shaofeng thought about it and realized that this was the case. Therefore, Qin Shaofeng only gave the first-grade ninth level Saint Spirit Pill to Jun Yunxuan, Jun Shaoyang, and Lin Yihan.
With Jun Shaoyang's early eighth level Saint Level cultivation, it wasn't surprising that he would be able to defeat a third level Saint Level expert.
However, when it came to the remaining three Jun Family disciples, their luck wasn't as good.
Of the three Jun Family disciples, one of them had met an elite disciple of the Hall who was in the third level of the Earth Saint Realm, so he would definitely admit defeat immediately.
The other Jun Family disciple met an opponent who was on par with him, but after a bitter battle, he still lost by a single move.
As for the last Jun Family disciple, Jun Haicheng didn't even let him fight because his opponent was a sixth level Saint Level expert from the Black Tiger Hall. He was only a fourth level Saint Level expert, so naturally, he wouldn't be able to defeat his opponent.
Moreover, considering that his opponent was from the Black Tiger Hall, no matter how much the Jun Family disciple provoked him, Jun Haicheng still forced him to admit defeat without even stepping onto the stage.
Two hours later, the first battle for the 120 to 60 teams was finally coming to an end.
Qin Shaofeng finally stepped onto the stage!
Qin Shaofeng was currently in the seventh level Saint Level. Using the Body Metamorphose Scripture to simulate the aura of a peak Saint Level expert, even the old hall master wouldn't be able to sense it if he wasn't careful.
Therefore, on the surface, Qin Shaofeng appeared to be a tenth level Saint Level expert.
Coincidentally, Qin Shaofeng's first opponent was also a tenth level Saint Level expert.
However, his opponent wasn't from the Black Tiger Hall.
But when he stepped onto the stage, Qin Shaofeng felt that something was wrong.
Because his opponent looked at him as if he was looking forward to fighting him. Most importantly, his opponent's gaze was filled with intense hostility.
Qin Shaofeng couldn't help but ask curiously, "Friend, do we know each other?"
"No, we don't know each other, but I know you, Qin Shaofeng!" That person said with a hint of excitement.
This made Qin Shaofeng even more curious.
"You don't know me? Then why are you so hostile towards me? I don't remember offending you. "Qin Shaofeng asked curiously.
Qin Shaofeng's question made that person even more excited.
"Ha, Qin Shaofeng, you still don't know?" That person laughed.
"Know what? Please … "
Shua!
This time, without waiting for Qin Shaofeng to finish his words, that person suddenly attacked.
"If you don't know, then let's go to hell to find out!"
That person laughed sinisterly and used his full strength. It was as if there was a blood feud between him and Qin Shaofeng. It was as if he wanted to take Qin Shaofeng's life.
Such a situation made Qin Shaofeng's eyes flash with a cold light.
Hmph, you don't know what's good for you, an egomaniac who isn't even a Saint Level expert wants to kill me?
Qin Shaofeng coldly snorted in his heart. In the next moment, a faint purple light appeared in his eyes.
The hexagram of the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan suddenly appeared.
As soon as the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan appeared, a huge sword appeared in Qin Shaofeng's hand.
Then, Qin Shaofeng didn't do anything, but that person who jumped up and attacked Qin Shaofeng in mid-air suddenly stopped, then he lost control of his body and fell straight down.
Boom!
With a muffled sound, the tenth layer saint level fighter fell to the ground, motionless.
The reason why this person is like this is because Qin Shaofeng used Tsukuyomi on him.
Although Qin Shaofeng didn't take his life, he ruthlessly tortured him in Tsukuyomi space. After this, this person will probably have a shadow in his heart. If he doesn't make a breakthrough, he will probably never be able to advance to the Saint Level for the rest of his life.
This is Qin Shaofeng's punishment, who told this person to kill him.
However, Qin Shaofeng could be considered to have figured out why this person, whom he had never met, wanted to kill him the moment he made a move.
The reason is very simple, after he killed the Black Tiger Saint King's subordinate in front of him yesterday, it didn't take long for a piece of news to spread throughout the Black Tiger Hall.
In tomorrow's preliminary round, whoever can take Qin Shaofeng's life, the Wang Family is willing to reward him with a Saint Level Spirit Tool and 1000 low-grade spirit crystals.
He has a bounty on him?
Such a blatant scheme against him, it's reasonable to say that it's not allowed.
Because if this spread out, the Main Residence will definitely look for the Black Tiger Saint King to settle the score.
But this time, Qin Shaofeng knows that even the Main Residence won't blame the Black Tiger Saint King for this matter.
The reason is very simple, this Wang Family is the family of the Saint Level expert he killed.
