In fact, Nangong Jue did not intend to kill Dongfang Feiyun. He was not her enemy. She only did this to scare him and play around.
Walking down the stage, Nangong Jue let out a relaxed smile. She had successfully entered the top eight and was one step closer to the top three.
Dongfang Feiyun's face was filled with disappointment. He was the only one from the Dongfang Family to enter the top sixteen. Now that he had lost, the Dongfang Family was destined to lose the top three.
Of course, he did not care about the title of top three. Instead, it was related to whether or not they could enter the Dead Zone. Now that the Dongfang Family had no chance of entering the top three, it meant that they had lost the chance to enter the Dead Zone.
Dongfang Hong sat on the Dongfang Family's seat. His face was expressionless, but he would not feel comfortable seeing this result.
The elders also had a helpless look on their faces. The Dongfang Family's Grand Competition had come to an end.
"Master, we have lost in the end. We still have no way of obtaining the right to enter the Dead Zone!" An elder sighed.
"It's true that we can't obtain the right to enter the Dead Zone. However, as long as one of us can enter the Dead Zone, the Dongfang Family still has a chance!" Dongfang Feiyun said.
Before the Grand Competition began, the Masters of the Nine Great Families had already discussed it. No matter which family entered the top three, they would have to give up two spots to enter the Dead Zone.
Therefore, even though the Dongfang Family had lost, one of them would still enter the Dead Zone. Perhaps one person was not enough, but it was still better than nothing.
"But what can one person do in the Dead Zone?" An elder shook his head and said.
Even though they did not participate in the Master's meeting, Dongfang Hong had already informed the elders of the Master's decision. Therefore, the elders knew that one of them would be able to enter the Dead Zone.
"You can't say that. Even though only one of us can enter the Dead Zone, it's still better than none of us."
"That's right. Besides, it's not only the Dongfang Family that can enter alone. The other six families can also only send one person. When the time comes, if everyone can unite, it will not be a small number. "
"Didn't the Master say that the Situ Family is willing to protect everyone? If we can follow the Situ Family or the Ji Family into the Dead Zone, I think we will be able to gain something. "
"Follow the Situ Family? Even if we can't even get a share of the soup, I can't be together with these aristocratic families. It's still more advantageous for us six aristocratic families to unite.
Think about it, even if each of the top three families gave up two spots, they would still have eighteen people. With so many people here, do you think they will let us have it if there is any benefit? This is obviously not very possible. Therefore, in our current situation, if we want to gain anything from entering the Death Region, we must unite the six families.
At that time, even if there are any discoveries, everyone can split the treasures equally. It's better than letting these gains be snatched away by the three great families! "
"That's true, but it's not an easy task to unite the six aristocratic families. Since the Situ Clan has already spoken, do you think the other clans won't try to curry favor with the Situ Clan? "
"That's true. Sigh, in the end, it's because we're not united. If the aristocratic families could be more united, we definitely wouldn't be able to exchange for only one spot!" When the group of elders recalled what Dongfang Hong had said in the meeting, they felt both angry and helpless.
These aristocratic families were really too selfish. If they could be more united and insist on two or more spots in the meeting, they wouldn't be in such a passive position.
Now that only one of them could enter the Death Region, what was the use? Perhaps they would meet with an accident and die before they could figure out what was going on inside.
However, even so, they couldn't bear to give up such a great opportunity. If they only needed to sacrifice one person in exchange for the rise of the Dongfang Family, they had to give it a try no matter what.
"It's absolutely impossible for us to follow the Situ Family into the Death Region. The Situ Family can't be trusted. If they really find any important treasures, the first thing they'll do is to silence us. Therefore, even if we want to enter the Death Region, we can only think of a way ourselves," Dongfang Hong suddenly said.
Previously, the Chen Family's Patriarch, Chen Tianxing, had also talked to him about this matter. His opinion was the same, he couldn't trust the Situ Family. Although only one of them could enter the Death Region, if they handed this person over to the Situ Family, it would be equivalent to throwing away their lives.
With the Situ Family's ambition, would they give the treasures they found to the other families? Wouldn't that be lifting a rock and dropping it on their own feet? Naturally, the Situ Family wouldn't be so stupid as to do such a thing.
"The situation in the Death Region is very special. Although I haven't entered it before, I can guess a thing or two. It's an independent space, so it's naturally filled with dangers.
However, whether our people follow the big families or act alone, I don't think the chances of them coming back alive are high. Therefore, we can only rely on the will of the heavens! "An elder said.
"Immortal cultivation is a fight against the heavens, and the Death Region is the same. No matter how dangerous it is, we still have to send people in to fight. In any case, no one from the Dongfang Family has entered the Death Region for so many years. Instead of that, we might as well send someone in to try our luck.
If our Dongfang Family really does rise, who knows, this person might really be able to reap some benefits in the Death Region! "
"That's true!" Everyone nodded, feeling that this was also the case.
"Father, I'm sorry. I've disappointed the Dongfang Family!" Dongfang Feiyun walked in front of Dongfang Hong with a disappointed look on his face and said in a downcast manner.
"This isn't your fault. The top three positions in the Grand Competition of the Nine Families have always been the fiercest among the families. It wasn't easy for the Dongfang Family to get to this point. At least we weren't eliminated early like the Feng Family and the Gongsun Family, so there's nothing to regret! "Dongfang Hong said as he looked at his son.
He certainly didn't feel good about losing the Grand Competition, but he could also see that his son had tried his best. Moreover, such an outcome was already within his expectations.
Right now, he had to think about who he should send into the Death Region, so there was no point in worrying about the Grand Competition.
Moreover, seeing that the Feng Family had been eliminated before him, his mood was much better.
However, although Dongfang Hong said this, Dongfang Feiyun didn't think so. He had his own ambitions, but unfortunately, he wasn't strong enough and lost the Grand Competition.
