Only when the bell rang did the stone pillar change.
Everyone felt the top of their heads become clear, and all of their true names disappeared. The Demon God with the Fire-tipped Spear and the Yin-Yang Robe disappeared before they could even see it clearly.
He actually fell from the stone pillar at the last moment. The way Wang Yan died left everyone at a loss.
Why?
Because they really didn't know what expression to use.
The so-called not knowing whether to laugh or cry was used to describe the current situation.
For a cultivator of the Divine Weapon Clan to fall to his death, even in this golden age of cultivation, was an extremely rare thing. They believed that it would be recorded in the Book of Heavenly Secrets tomorrow.
Wang Yan naturally reacted when he fell, but the stone pillar was too high, and his true name was heavily injured. His cultivation could be said to be less than a tenth of his original strength. Moreover, he hit the ground with his head and didn't practice the Iron Head Technique, so naturally he was smashed to pieces.
At this moment, the examinees no longer held any hope for their rankings. The only thing they gained was that they were lucky to have survived.
Yan Li raised his head to look at the distant sword light, and solemnly cupped his fists.
After that, he followed the candidates to the entrance of the stone array. A man who looked like an examiner cleared his throat and said, "Your results have been recorded. We will make a comprehensive comparison based on your rankings in the previous two rounds to determine your final ranking. Go back first. Tomorrow, the results will be released at the same time. "
The examiner said this and left. But before he left, he gave Yan Li a meaningful look.
Yan Li frowned slightly, and a faint haze appeared in his heart.
"Yan Li, if I knew you were so abnormal, I wouldn't have to worry about you." Huang Shaoyu walked over and patted his shoulder, and said with a smile, "Three of my sons died in one go. It's really refreshing."
He was so satisfied that it was as if he had done it himself.
Ji Hyun-woon said with a face full of confusion, "Yan Li, what great merit did I make?"
"I'll tell you later." Yan Li said as he walked out.
"Then where are we going now?" Ji Hyun-woon said as he followed.
Huang Shaoyu laughed and hooked his arm around Yu Qiuyu's shoulder. "Do you even need to ask? Of course we're going to drink and celebrate."
"Celebrate?" Ji Hyun-woon frowned. "Do you already know Yan Li's ranking?"
"Do you even need to ask?" Huang Shaoyu rolled his eyes. "The three people who died were all in the top ten. Yan Li's ranking automatically rose to seventh. In the second round of verification, from the grade of one's true name, to the degree of development, to actual combat, there was no one who could match up to him. Without a doubt, he was number one. You should know that as long as you have a good score in the first round and the other round isn't too low, you will be given priority to enter the higher ranking. This has always been an unwritten rule in the exam. "
"There's no hurry to drink. Let's go somewhere first," Yan Li said.
…
The examiner's name was Qiu Chongming. He was one of the Eagle Eyes of the Eagle Yamen. He was responsible for observing and recording the words and actions of the officials.
Qiu Chongming left the examination venue and went straight to the Eagle Yamen's office. When he came to the innermost part, he saw Lone Eagle talking to Li Yong.
Lone Eagle heard the footsteps and shouted, "Chongming? Come in."
Qiu Chongming immediately walked in and bowed. "Your Excellency, the results are out. Three people died."
"Which three?" Lone Eagle asked.
"Xia Wanli, Liu Xiangxiu, and Wang Yan," Qiu Chongming said.
Lone Eagle's expression changed as he heard the names. Finally, he narrowed his eyes. "What about Yan Li?"
"If there's no accident, he should be number one," Qiu Chongming said.
"That bastard, why didn't he die?" A violent aura burst out of Lone Eagle's body. He slammed the table heavily. Although he tried his best to control it, a large number of tables were still sent flying.
His loss of composure only lasted for a moment, and he quickly calmed down. "Tell me the details."
Qiu Chongming didn't dare to be negligent. He recounted everything without hiding anything.
Lone Eagle frowned more and more as he listened. In the end, his brows were knitted together.
"Your Excellency, if he doesn't die, he'll be a great threat in the future," Li Yong said.
Lone Eagle pondered for a moment and suddenly stood up. "The two of you, come with me to see His Highness."
"Yes."
The three of them quickly arrived at the back garden of the Second Prince's residence. As expected, Ji Wuyu was tasting wine and fishing. He had a contented expression on his face.
The three of them couldn't help looking at each other. Did he not receive the news?
"Your Highness." Lone Eagle was the first to speak.
Ji Wuyu seemed to have just noticed their arrival. He turned around and smiled. "Why are you here? Come in and have a seat."
The three of them naturally didn't dare to enter. They were afraid that this was the calm before the storm.
Lone Eagle hesitated for a moment. "Your Highness, don't you know the results of the second round?"
"I know," Ji Wuyu said with a relaxed expression.
"Then you …" Lone Eagle said.
"Your Highness, Young Master Xia's body has been buried."
Before Lone Eagle could finish, a guard interrupted him.
Ji Wuyu's face was full of sorrow. He waved his hand. "Send it back to Tianyi Sword Pavilion immediately. Tell them that this prince is too sad to attend the funeral in person. Please forgive me, Sect Master."
"Yes!" The guard left immediately.
As soon as the guard left, Ji Wuyu regained his relaxed and cheerful expression. "Did the three of you come for the second round?"
Li Yong felt a chill in his heart.
Lone Eagle said tactfully, "Your Highness, once this person enters the Immortal World, it'll be difficult to deal with him."
"You're right," Ji Wuyu said with a smile. "Then do you have a way to deal with him?"
Lone Eagle immediately winked at Qiu Chongming.
Qiu Chongming understood and said, "Your Highness, this humble subject has a way to make him fail."
"Tell me about it," Ji Wuyu said.
"I know that his real name is Du Ba, but the territory he occupies may not be the same," Qiu Chongming said, "According to the grade of his real name, he is naturally the highest. But what about the territory?"
"Don't keep me in suspense." Lone Eagle glared at him.
"Yes!" Qiu Chongming hurriedly said, "In terms of territory, Young Master Wei, Yu Jianzi, and Ju Yingshu are the highest. He can only be ranked fourth at most. There is a precedent. In the twenty-fifth year of Heavenly Treasure, there is a term that is based on territory. "
Ji Wuyu said with a smile that was not a smile, "Although this can barely be considered an excuse, the reason is that the true names of the examinees in that batch are similar. Do you think that the people of the Sword Court are all fools? Something that can't stand up to scrutiny can be found with just a little investigation. Before doing anything, we must first consider the consequences. Don't let others think that we are targeting the Court Of Sword, understand? "
Qiu Chongming couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. "I understand."
Ji Wuyu stood up with a wine glass in his hand. "This is called fighting a tiger but not killing it. If you paid more attention, it wouldn't have developed to this situation today. "
As he spoke, he looked at Lone Eagle indifferently.
Lone Eagle's heart trembled. He lowered his head and said, "Your Highness, this matter is indeed my fault. I should have nipped him in the bud."
"I bet on the wrong treasure." Ji Wuyu smiled helplessly and shook his head. "Dead people are of no value."
Lone Eagle's palms were sweating. He took a deep breath and said, "If Your Highness wants to make up with him again, I can apologize to him."
"No." Ji Wuyu shook his head with a smile. "You misunderstood me. The tiger has become a threat and must be eliminated. I have another way to make him fail the exam and also to shut the mouth of the Court Of Sword. "
"Oh?" Lone Eagle's eyes lit up.
Ji Wuyu smiled faintly and said so and so on.
The three of them looked at each other and laughed.
…
Shen Wanzhou's sword soul and flying sword left the examination venue. They almost broke away from the restriction of space and directly landed at home.
The sword soul returned to his body and the flying sword also disappeared.
When Shen Wanzhou opened his eyes, he found himself being stared at by a pair of cold and murderous eyes. Even when he was stared at by three super experts in the attic, he didn't flinch at all. But when he saw the person in front of him, his expression changed drastically. He crawled up and wanted to slip away.
"You want to leave?"
The person had a broad figure. With a slight movement, she blocked the entire door frame. If she kept standing there without moving, she would be able to fulfill the role of 'door'.
"What do you want?" Shen Wanzhou said coldly.
"What do I want?" It was a woman, a fat woman draped in silk and satin. Her baleful face was covered with a thick layer of powder, and when she shook her fat, it would rustle and fall. She was waving a small beauty fan in her hand, and her voice was rough. She purposely pinched her throat to speak, which made people feel uncomfortable.
Being blocked by such a woman, any man would not be able to help but want to escape.
"What do you want?" Shen Wanzhou repeated coldly.
"Shen Wanzhou, if you continue to play dumb, I will slap you to the wall!" The fat woman said fiercely, and more powder fell.
There were only a few people in this world who could slap Shen Wanzhou to the wall. Even the three experts in the attic couldn't do it so easily.
Not only did Shen Wanzhou not refute, but he also fell silent. For a man like him to be pointed at and scolded by a fat woman, he didn't dare to talk back. It was really a strange story.
Of course, there were not many people in this world who knew how powerful he was.
Of course, the fat woman in front of him didn't know either.
She pointed at Shen Wanzhou and shouted: "You owe me three months and seven days of rent, a total of seven hundred and twenty-three taels and eighty-nine cents. If you don't pay me today, then pack up and get out of here!"
"I don't have money." Shen Wanzhou said expressionlessly.
"Why don't you try saying that again?" The fat woman said.
"I don't have money." Shen Wanzhou said expressionlessly.
"If you don't have money then get out of here!" The fat woman was furious, and rushed forward, trying to grab Shen Wanzhou's collar, but her hand stopped halfway, because another hand had grabbed her.
She subconsciously turned her head and saw that a group of four people had appeared in the room. The one who grabbed her hand was an exceptionally good looking young man between the ages of a teenager and a young man. He had a faint smile on his face.
"I've paid his rent, and I'll give you three years. Don't come here and make a fuss."
