After a period of time, the second round of the competition finally came to an end.
After a headcount, there were only slightly more than 100 people left. This time, more than 200 people were eliminated.
Although Su Fei was injured, he didn't get eliminated because he had consumed Linlong's top-grade healing medicine and was with Gu Qingyun and the rest.
"Lin Li, did you sneak attack your Senior Brother Wu Xin in the secret realm and use such a despicable method to eliminate him!?" Wu Xin's master, Elder Yan, suddenly berated Linlong sternly when the crowd quietened down.
The moment such a voice rang out, the scene immediately quietened down. Everyone wanted to know what exactly was going on.
Linlong pretended to be surprised when he heard Elder Yan's berating. "What? Senior Brother Wu Xin was eliminated? "
"I was asking you if you used despicable methods to sneak attack your Senior Brother Wu Xin. Don't be so flustered!" Elder Yan said angrily when he saw Linlong's reaction.
"Elder Yan, how could I use such despicable methods? Someone must have a grudge against Senior Brother Wu Xin," Linlong immediately said.
Under such circumstances, how could he be foolish enough to admit that he was the one who did it?
"You're lying! You did sneak attack him!" Wu Xin, who was beside Elder Yan, shouted angrily when he saw Linlong deny it.
"Senior Brother Wu, although I have some conflicts with you, I don't want to do such things. So, Senior Brother Wu, please don't accuse an innocent person," Linlong said calmly.
"Accuse an innocent person? You did it! "Wu Xin said fiercely.
"If Senior Brother Wu really thinks that I did it, please show me the evidence," Linlong replied.
Wu Xin was instantly speechless when he heard Linlong's question because he didn't have any evidence.
"If Senior Brother Wu doesn't have any evidence, then don't accuse me," Linlong said with a smile.
You win! Wu Xin could only curse in his heart when he saw Linlong's reaction.
"Let's put this matter aside for now. We'll talk about it after this trial," the deputy sect master said immediately when he saw that Wu Xin really couldn't produce any evidence.
Although that was what he said, everyone knew that this matter would be left unsettled. Because Wu Xin couldn't produce any evidence, there was no way to accuse anyone.
"All right. This time, due to the fact that many of you are injured, everyone should rest for a day before entering level 3 of the Concealed stage," said the Vice Sect Master.
Then, the Vice Sect Master told everyone to go back and gather here the day after tomorrow.
Everyone dispersed.
Wu Xin's master, Elder Yan, did not return immediately. Instead, he brought Wu Xin along to look for the Vice Sect Master.
"Elder Yan, what's the matter?" The Vice Sect Master immediately asked upon seeing Elder Yan.
"It's like this, Vice Sect Master. I believe that Wu Xin's elimination this time was an accident. As the strongest amongst all the disciples, this elimination is a loss for our Sacred Gate. Thus, I hope that you can allow Wu Xin to participate in the trial and allow him to enter the next level of the Concealed stage," said Elder Yan.
"Elder Yan, I think so too." Hearing Elder Yan's words, the Vice Sect Master replied.
Given Wu Xin's strength, it would be a loss for their Sacred Gate if he were to be eliminated. After all, if Wu Xin could enter the next round and sense the Thousand Demon Flame, he would be able to make a great breakthrough in his strength. Thus, the Vice Sect Master shared the same thought.
However, he didn't know what to say if no one brought it up. Now that he heard Elder Yan's words, he immediately voiced out his thoughts.
"So, Vice Sect Master, you agree to allow Wu Xin to enter the next level?" Elder Yan was overjoyed.
After pondering for a moment, the Vice Sect Master said, "It wouldn't be good for me to express my opinion on this matter alone. So, gather all the elders here to vote."
"Alright," replied Elder Yan.
Immediately, the Vice Sect Master gathered all the elders of the Devil Gate.
"Wu Xin is the strongest and most talented amongst all the disciples. If he were to be eliminated like this, it would be a loss for our Sacred Gate. Moreover, he was eliminated by a sneak attack. It was an accident. Thus, I feel that Wu Xin should be allowed to enter the next level again. What do you all think?" Looking at all the elders, the Vice Sect Master said.
"I agree!" Elder Yan immediately shouted.
"I agree!" The few elders that he had communicated with immediately agreed.
The remaining elders couldn't help but look at each other. They felt that this was a shameless act. After all, this was the rule of their Sacred Gate. Those who were eliminated in the first two rounds could not enter the next level.
However, since the Vice Sect Master had already expressed his opinion, they couldn't possibly offend him. Moreover, Wu Xin's strength and talent were indeed the strongest amongst all the disciples.
Thus, after a moment of consideration, everyone nodded their heads in agreement.
Seeing everyone's reaction, a smile immediately appeared on Elder Yan's face. He didn't expect this matter to go so smoothly.
"Alright, then it's decided. Wu Xin will be allowed to enter the next level the day after tomorrow," the Vice Sect Master immediately said with a smile.
Such a matter quickly spread throughout the Devil Gate. Hearing that Wu Xin was actually allowed to enter the next level again, the disciples of the Devil Gate immediately started discussing it.
They also felt that such behavior was extremely shameless. However, since the Vice Sect Master and the elders had already expressed their opinion, they could only discuss this matter behind their backs.
Hearing this matter, Linlong also felt a little surprised. However, he didn't take it to heart. After all, he still didn't take Wu Xin seriously.
What made Linlong happy was that after returning, his demonic cultivation realm actually broke through to the third level of the Martial Overlord Realm. This was really a pleasant surprise. He originally thought that it would take a lot of time, who would have thought that he would break through so quickly?
Nothing happened on the second day. On the third day, everyone once again gathered at the peak of the Myriad Demon Peak.
"Because Wu Xin's elimination was an accident, coupled with the fact that Wu Xin's strength and talent are indeed the strongest amongst all of you, after a discussion with the elders, we have decided to allow him to enter the next level of the Secret Realm. Does anyone have any objections?" The Vice Sect Master said loudly in front of everyone.
"No objections." The disciples of the Devil Gate present at the scene said in unison after a short period of silence.
Many of them had objections, especially those who were eliminated. However, since the Vice Sect Master had already expressed his opinion, what else could they do?
At this moment, Wu Xin's face was a little hot. He also knew that this was a shameless behavior. However, when he thought that he would be able to sense the Thousand Demon Fire later, he immediately threw this embarrassment to the back of his mind.
