Previously, Zhuo Lei had once joined hands with others to attack Irozha and was injured by him. Zhuo Lei was quick to seize the opportunity and decisively abandoned the others to escape.
But this time, he could not escape. The second most vicious incident of this spell exchange had occurred. Zhuo Lei had one of his arms and one of his legs cut off by Irozha, becoming a complete cripple. As a martial cultivator, his future was undoubtedly ruined.
The people of the other factions were all discussing this. These two vicious incidents with serious consequences were both committed by Xuanmen Tianzong's disciples. This inevitably caused others to mutter in their hearts, feeling that Xuanmen Tianzong's style was too tyrannical.
On the contrary, the cultivators of the Northern Militant Court did not show any dissatisfaction. Most people looked at Zhuo Lei with disdain, and some even felt awkward and ashamed.
Strictly speaking, Irozha was also considered a Northern Militant person. In the eyes of the Northern Militant Court's cultivators, his personal grievances with Zhuo Lei were not a big deal. On the contrary, Zhuo Lei was unable to defeat Irozha, so he went to find trouble with Zhuge Wanqiu. This made many Northern Militant people feel ashamed.
When the tribes of the grasslands fought, it was common for them to rob women and children. When it came to hunting, the result was everything. No matter the means, as long as they won.
However, private duels between martial cultivators were seen as a battle between the brave and the strong. Harming others and kidnapping hostages were all things that only the weak would do.
Even the Northern Militant Chief Chanyu did not express any dissatisfaction. He did not think that the Northern Militant Court had been slapped in the face by Xuanmen Tianzong, but rather that Zhuo Lei had smeared their name.
Some cultivators who were familiar with the Northern Militant people could also see this point. They did not think that this matter would cause a rift between Xuanmen Tianzong and the Northern Militant Court. However, some people who did not understand the situation began to let their imaginations run wild.
Because of the precedent set by Zhou Yuncong, Xuanmen Tianzong once again adopted the policy of not suing the officials and not investigating.
In the miniature world, Irozha Silently looked at Zhuo Lei who was lying on the ground and staring at him with a venomous gaze. He grinned, his snow-white teeth seeming to flash with a cold light: "After leaving the Great Law Hall, no matter when, I welcome you to find me again."
"But at that time, there will be no Great Law Hall to protect you." Eloza laughed. "You should be thankful that you have two gold rings on you. For these two gold rings, I will give you a quick death. Otherwise, I will leave you here to fend for yourself."
Zhuo Lei shouted, "You …" Just as he opened his mouth to speak, Ying Luo Zha's palm was like a blade, chopping down. The Great Law Hall's mana restriction activated, sending Zhuo Lei out.
On the other side, Zhuge Wanqiu had also finished off the remaining two opponents. Unfortunately, apart from Zhuo Lei, the others only had one golden ring on them.
Eirozha tossed one of the golden rings to her and put away the other. The golden number above his head changed from nine to ten.
Zhuge Wanqiu smiled and said, "Congratulations, Senior Apprentice-Brother, you have collected all the Golden Rings."
Eirozha looked up and saw the number above her head change from seven to eight, and then to nine. After a moment of silence, he said, "About a hundred miles east of here, there is a valley. There is a golden ring buried under the largest pine tree in the forest in the valley. Go and retrieve it."
"We don't know how many people have advanced. If you hurry up, you might be able to make it. I will accompany you for the last fifteen minutes."
Zhuge Wanqiu was stunned. "Senior Apprentice-Brother Eirozha, you …"
Eirozha nodded. "I buried that golden ring. The first time I met Zhuo Lei, I only injured him and let him run away. He said that he would harm you, and from his expression, it didn't seem like he was lying. It seemed like he really had a way to find you, so I chased him all the way."
"Although this guy is as cowardly as a dog, he grew up in the grasslands. He is very good at tracking and anti-tracking. He just wanted to escape, so I chased him all the way here," Eirozha said calmly.
Eloza calmly said, "With ten golden rings on me, I'll be teleported away in a quarter of an hour, so I dropped one."
"But fortunately, Zhuo Lei has two ready-made golden rings on him, so I don't have to specially go back. I will have to trouble you. I must get one of Zhuo Lei's golden rings immediately."
"Although I don't know how Xu Yunsheng's harvest is, I believe it won't be bad." Eirozha pursed his lips. "I want to win against him!"
Zhuge Wanqiu looked at Eirozha and mumbled after a long while, "Eirozha, you don't have to do this. This is Hongfa Hall …"
"Hongfa Hall can only save lives!" Eirozha interrupted her. "I just cut off one of that dog's hands and one of his legs."
"I have confidence in your cultivation. Zhuo Lei, that trash, is no match for you in a one-on-one fight. Even with the three people just now, even if I didn't arrive, they wouldn't be able to do anything to you. But what if there are more enemies and a more dangerous environment? There are many dangers in this small world, and accidents are bound to happen. Us Xuanmen Tianzong disciples are also the target of everyone, so I have to be careful. "
Eirozha said, "Now that Zhuo Lei has been taken care of, even if we meet people from other sects, we might still be in danger, but we are much safer."
Zhuge Wanqiu looked into Eirozha's eyes. "Senior Brother Eirozha, have you ever thought that during the time you were helping me, Senior Brother Xu might have already advanced to the second stage?"
Eirozha clenched his fists, but he remained silent and did not speak.
Zhuge Wanqiu also did not speak, and silently walked side by side with Eirozha, hurrying east.
The golden numbers above their heads, one "10" and the other "9", naturally attracted many people's attention, but they were all defeated by the two of them. It was a pity that these people did not have golden rings.
Eirozha suddenly stopped and looked at Zhuge Wanqiu, saying, "My time is up, it's up to you now. Be careful."
Zhuge Wanqiu nodded. "Senior Brother, don't worry, I'll be fine."
In the next moment, the golden numbers above Eirozha's head suddenly dispersed, turning into a golden pillar of light that enveloped Eirozha. The top of the pillar of light shot straight into the sky, and Eirozha's body automatically floated up into the sky under the guidance of the pillar of light.
Once enveloped by the pillar of light, the cultivator would not be able to leave the pillar, and the people outside would not be able to attack the cultivator within the pillar of light.
Zhuge Wanqiu looked at his departing figure in a daze, and faintly sighed. "Senior Brother, you really didn't have to do this …"
In the All-Heavens Hall, Xiao Yan, Wang Lin, and the rest of the disciples congratulated Zhu Yi, congratulating him for having two of his disciples advance to the final third stage and obtain a place in the top eight.
"Although there were many twists and turns, in the end, Eirozha still obtained the last place." Xiao Yan smiled. "Second Junior Brother, congratulations."
Zhu Yi smiled faintly. "Quite a lot of tricks."
Unconcerned, Xiao Yan smiled. "Even if everything went according to plan, at most there would be some changes in the final ranking, but the candidates are basically as expected."
"Other than the dark horse from Beyond Heaven Mountain, the top eight is basically within our range of expectations. However, it is a pity that Little Junior Brother's disciples, Little Huang and Wanqiu, Third Junior Brother's disciple Xing Luan, and Taixu Temple's disciple Fan Xuefeng are all people who have the strength to fight for the top eight."
Wang Lin said, "The first and second stages of the assessment set by Master are more likely to be accidental, but this is actually the test of the juniors' comprehensive strength, and also the best way to train them. The affairs of the world are always changing, and there will always be many accidents."
Yue Hongyan smiled. "However, the next third stage can finally let them breathe a sigh of relief."
None of her disciples could advance to the third stage. Ke Jing was besieged in the Starry Sky Pagoda and accidentally touched the Starlight Circulation Restriction, so she was forced to turn back and wasted too much time. As a result, her group did not manage to squeeze into the top eight of the first stage and lost the qualification to participate in the second stage.
Zhao Huan, on the other hand, was delayed because of Guardian Zhou Yuncong. Although the two of them tried their best to catch up, in the end, they only managed to catch the last train and narrowly obtained the eighth place in the first stage, obtaining the qualification to enter the second stage.
However, because they entered the miniature world too late, although Zhao Huan's strength was quite good, her starting point was still far behind the others. Until now, she had only just obtained her fourth golden ring.
However, Yue Hongyan did not care too much about this. Her idea was very simple. She would find problems and oversights, learn from them, and go back to double the training of her disciples who loved to slack off.
As Xiao Yan and the others teased each other, Li Yuanfang turned to look at Lin Feng. Lin Feng smiled and nodded. Li Yuanfang used her transcendence energy to transmit her voice to Shi Tianhao, who was in charge of the Spreading Law Hall. "Tianhao, it's done."
Shi Tianhao clasped his palms together, and a dozen light pillars immediately descended from the miniature world, covering the remaining people in it.
Initially, there were almost forty people who entered. After eliminating the top eight, there were less than twenty people left. There were also more than a dozen people who "died" in the miniature world. Some were besieged by Qiong Qi at the beginning, and some were sent out when competing with other cultivators for the golden rings.
When Ying Roza came out of the miniature world, he found out that he was actually the eighth place. Not only was he not happy, but his expression was gloomy, especially when he found out that Xu Yunsheng was the first place. Ying Roza's originally dark face turned even darker.
Zhuge Wanqiu and the remaining people were sent out of the miniature world by Shi Tianhao. After understanding the situation, the group of Xuanmen Tianzong disciples felt sorry for her. Zhuge Wanqiu, on the other hand, was more open-minded and did not care much. Instead, she even comforted Huang Zhenting.
Everyone looked at the top eight, especially when they saw Zhou Yuncong and Chu Yang. Those who had not seen them before were extremely shocked.
Xu Yunsheng, Dao Yuting, and the others also looked up and down at Zhou Yuncong. This was also the first time they knew that their Junior Brother Zhou was so hidden.
Shi Tianhao came in front of everyone and said with a smile, "Let's first distribute the rewards for the second stage. Everyone in the top eight will have a reward, but the rewards will be different. The higher the ranking, the better the reward."
The most eye-catching reward was undoubtedly the Yuanying Realm magic tool that Xu Yunsheng had obtained. Many young cultivators in the Spreading Law Hall looked at this scene enviously. Not to mention anything else, with this reward, even if Xu Yunsheng immediately forfeited the competition, he would have already earned a lot.
On the other hand, although Xu Yunsheng and the other seven people were also happy to obtain the generous reward, they all quickly put away their rewards and focused on Shi Tianhao. Their minds were now completely focused on the third stage.
What a joke, they had already reached this step, who wouldn't want to be the person who came out on top in the end?
Seeing this, Shi Tianhao smiled with satisfaction. "The eight of you have obtained the qualifications to advance to the third stage. This time, it will not be difficult for you. The third stage is the arena battle. The eight of you will fight one on one, and the winner will advance."
"Previously, before the second stage began, your final ranking in the second stage will also affect the third stage."
