Since the start of the competition, other than the time when Yu Qie asked Jung Genzun about the outcome of the battle, the six Supremes had been watching in silence. Their Dharma Manifestations had descended on the Riverview Platform based on tradition.
They were watching the battle in Tianjiao as Supremes. They were only onlookers and would never interfere with the process of the competition.
Only now did Emperor Jing take the initiative to speak.
Of the six Supremes present, Emperor Jing had a reason to be angry.
The Zhuang Kingdom was a Daoist vassal state and was ruled by him in name.
His own Inner Mansion cultivator, Tianjiao, had died behind the Gate of Demons. Nominally, he had forfeited the competition.
The first Daoist vassal state, Tianjiao, had left the competition early because of Lin Zhengren's meticulous plan.
In other words, the Zhuang Kingdom was the only Daoist vassal state left in the Inner Mansion competition.
Now, Lin Zhengren had admitted defeat without even entering the arena?
Where would the entire Daoist vassal state hide their face?
If that was all, Emperor Jing might not have spoken.
As noble and noble as he was, he naturally had the capacity to tolerate the world. A mere Inner Mansion level matter shouldn't have much impact.
But what was the Yellow River Gathering?
It was a gathering of Tianjiao vassal states. Traditionally, it was also a gathering of the human race on the Riverview Platform.
Since ancient times, the human race had shown their wisdom, courage, and future here in Tianjiao. It was to intimidate the Changhe Water Tribe.
Now, Lord Changhe was seated.
What did the Zhuang Kingdom show?
Cowardice?
Cowardice?
How could you run away without fighting and lose without fighting?
Although the laughable trick of "biting off more than you can chew" could deceive most of the people present, how could it escape Lord Changhe's eyes?
Lin Zhengren wasn't the only one who had lost face!
At least the two of them knew how to cover it up. Otherwise, Emperor Jing would have killed them on the spot.
His words were calm, but his attitude was clear.
Now, he gave Du Ruhui a choice.
To be honest, the participants had already fainted, and the one who admitted defeat was Du Ruhui, so this was not the final result.
Those who had fainted could be woken up, those who had suffered injuries could be healed, and Du Ruhui's words of abandoning the competition could be taken back.
Of course, Du Ruhui understood that Emperor Jing was giving Zhuang Guo a chance to make up for his mistakes.
With his intelligence, he naturally knew that he should seize this opportunity. As a Taoist vassal state, if they offended Emperor Jing, would there be any good consequences?
But the precondition for making up for it was —
It was he who could control Lin Zhengren.
After he "cured" Lin Zhengren, he made Lin Zhengren stand bravely on the martial arts stage and perform. Although he suffered a backlash, he did not retreat. He used his life for the Tianjiao, for the Zhuang State, and even exaggeratedly, for the entire Tianjiao of the human race on the River-Viewing Platform, to win back the face that he had personally lost.
But could he do it?
If it was before today, Du Ruhui could still say that he had some confidence.
However, today, Lin Zhengren had decisively injured himself to avoid the battle. It was under his' comfort 'and' urging 'that he made the decisive decision!
Now, it was time for Du Ruhui to make a choice.
He was silent for a moment.
As if he did not understand anything, he picked up the unconscious Lin Zhengren, lowered his head, and hurriedly left the spectator area. He walked out of the World Platform.
That was his answer.
He told Emperor Jing that he was too ashamed to face him.
As the prime minister of Zhuang Guo, he could not control the Tianjiao that represented Zhuang Guo.
In order to not lose more face, he could only maintain the lie. Then … he really went down to recuperate!
This was an accident!
Just like many times in the past, Du Ruhui was like a diligent tinkerer. He always did his best to repair every aspect of the country.
At first, he thought that this trip to the Yellow River was just a formality. Then, there was an unexpected surprise. It seemed that he could bear the glory …
In the blink of an eye, it became an illusion. He still had to repair it!
However, not all the loopholes could be repaired. Not all mistakes could be made up for. Du Ruhui was a rare prime minister in Zhuang Guo. Looking at the world, the things that he could do were very limited.
Today, he had a new understanding of Lin Zhengren. He was able to give up on the competition in such an occasion.
He did not think that he could make Lin Zhengren fight with his life on the stage.
If he forced Lin Zhengren onto the stage after he woke up, that would be even more embarrassing …
For Zhuang Guo, it was like tearing off the last fig leaf — the fig leaf that Lin Zhengren used to kill himself before he "fainted".
He could only choose the lesser of two evils.
Even if he won the resources for the top 16, more places for the monster race, and more Meridian Unlocking Pills … he could forget about it.
He could only do so.
Lin Zhengren had to be really injured from the backlash. He had to really faint and not cower in fear. In this way, he could also mention the Tianjiao of Sheng Guo. He could say that Jiang Limeng was too strong and that it was difficult for him to recover.
Or else …
In front of the representatives of more than 100 countries, Zhuang Guo's face was lost again and again!
Now that Emperor Jing was angry, the only thing he could do was to keep a low profile. He wanted to minimize Zhuang Guo's presence and minimize this incident.
Arguing was useless. Explaining was even more futile.
The punishment … could only be endured.
It was Du Ruhui's fault for choosing the wrong person at the Yellow River Meeting!
The entire World Stage fell into an eerie silence after Emperor Jing's words.
Many people did not know the inside story. They did not understand why Emperor Jing would speak. He actually cared about the Tianjiao of a weak Daoist vassal state. Was it because the Daoist vassals had been wiped out in the Inner Palace?
The other group of people lowered their heads in fear and trepidation, not daring to think too much. After all, the grace of the heavens was unpredictable.
However, there were many smart people.
Deng Qi of Tianjiao, who was wearing a thick bronze mask, looked at Du Ruhui's back with a meaningful gaze.
Of course, he knew Lin Zhengren.
During the Dao Debate of the Three Cities, Lin Zhengren had been very impressive. He had suppressed the students of the same level. He had stepped on Fu Baosong, beaten up Zhang Linchuan, opened the Heaven and Earth Gate, and made Sun Xiaoman vomit blood.
Later, when Third Brother Jiang went to the Lin family in Wangjiang City, he had prepared a plan.
In the end, he had suppressed this person until he was speechless.
At that time, he felt that this person was cautious enough. He did not lack shrewdness, but he was too timid. His future was very limited.
He had only noticed this person on the Riverview Platform when he was looking at the participant list. He was quite surprised.
He knew very well why Qi's Tianjiao had chosen the Zhuang State to participate in the Tianjiao battle.
But he really didn't expect that Lin Zhengren would be able to throw up blood and give up on the competition in this kind of situation where "the Heavenly Talents of the various countries are competing, and everyone has to be first".
Unlike the other people who had seen through his trick and were full of disdain, he thought highly of him because of this.
Not everyone could be so decisive.
However, that was all.
He did not care about the Zhuang State. He did not care about Lin Zhengren at all.
What made him reconsider was …
That Third Brother Jiang had unknowingly gained such a terrifying deterrent force?
He could force his opponent to give up before the battle even started!
"Deng Qi" casually glanced at Qi's Tianjiao. Then, he looked back at his opponent, Yin Wenhua from the Tianjiao of the Song Country who had already stepped onto the platform.
Now, he also had his own path to walk. In the Battle of the Yellow River, he was no longer just a bystander.
Yu Qian's voice sounded at this moment. "The winner of the Geng Martial Arts Practice Platform is Qi's Jiang Wang!"
"Congratulations," he looked at Jiang Wang and said lightly, "You are the fastest Tianjiao to win in history. This record is unprecedented, and it will be difficult to surpass it in the future. "
As a Perfected Cultivator, Yu Qian's words were full of resentment.
Of course, it was not directed at Jiang Wang.
In his opinion, Zhuang State's Lin Zhengren was extremely cowardly.
His cowardice was an insult to Yu Qian.
Am I, a Perfected Cultivator, not enough to protect your life? Do you need to hurt yourself to avoid the battle?
Are you so afraid of this opponent called Jiang Wang? Do you have so little confidence in me?
Originally, as a Perfected Cultivator of Mount Yujing, he admired Lin Zhengren's performance in the battle against Jiang Limeng.
Now, he felt disgusted, as if he had swallowed a fly.
In the face of Yu Qian's "praise," Jiang Wang bowed calmly and said, "Thank you, Perfected Cultivator, for the announcement."
With that, he stood still and did not speak.
He held his sword and stood alone on the platform. His calm and confident attitude, as if he could face any situation at any time, showed everyone what a real "Tianjiao" was.
On the other side of the platform, Jiang Limeng, who had dragged her body and insisted on watching the battle, gritted her teeth. She felt a great sense of humiliation – I actually lost to this kind of person?
Today, she was here to observe Lin Zhengren and find out the reason for her defeat.
Bravely facing defeat was the mentality of a strong person.
But with Lin Zhengren's pretentious abandonment of the battle, her mentality completely collapsed.
Others may not know, but how could she, who had personally experienced it, not know Lin Zhengren's ability to control those ghosts?
If there really was a problem of easy backlash, how could she, Jiang Limeng, lose so badly, no matter how careless she was?
This Lin Zhengren, facing the first vassal state, Tianjiao, used all his tricks and was unyielding. Although she lost, she had to admit that this person could be considered someone.
Now, facing the second vassal state, Tianjiao, he did not even dare to go on stage and would rather hurt himself to avoid the battle!
If you don't dare to go on stage, you should have just admitted defeat and let me go.
Even if I die, I want to die on stage!
Such a cowardly and cowardly action, can be spat on and disdained …
But she lost to this kind of person!
Then what was she, Jiang Limeng, considered?
This was the greatest shame of her life!
It seemed that Du Ruhui left with Lin Zhengren without much disturbance. But the shock caused by the battle was far from over.
Even the number one beauty of the Great Chu could not help but look at Jiang Wang a few more times.
What was this person relying on? How strong was he?
One had to know that even if it was Dou Zhao, who had the Seven Fighting Styles, or Jung Genzun, who had the Five Prefectures Glory, who had stunned the world with one slash, none of his opponents had admitted defeat before the battle!
Could it be that this Jiang Wang, at the Inner Palace level, had a stronger ruling power than the previous two?
Huang Sheli, who was already standing on stage A, was looking around complacently.
It's time for me to show my face!
Look at me, look at me, Ye Lan 'er, the great beauty, Jung Genzun, take a good look at me!
But looking to the left, Jung Genzun was staring at Jiang Wang. Looking to the right, Ye Lan 'er was also staring at Jiang Wang.
Preposterous!
Huang Sheli flew into a rage and fiercely glared at Jiang Wang.
Although Jiang Wang did not know what was going on with this Tianjiao, his heart trembled.
This woman's murderous aura was so strong …
She did not pay attention to her opponent, but instead released her murderous aura towards him on another stage.
Although Liao's Yelu Zhi might not be a match for her, why was she so arrogant?
Did she want to fight everyone and meet in the finals?
Was she challenging him to a battle?
Thinking of this, Jiang Wang returned a look of affirmation and even nodded — —
I, Jiang Qingyang, have nothing to be afraid of! See you in the finals!
Huang Sheli, who received this look, almost lifted his feet and went to stage G. Facing my soul interrogation, not only did this brat not reflect, he even dared to show off in front of me? He even nodded and showed off!
He looked so ordinary, but he was so confident!
At least she remembered that this was the main competition of the Yellow River Gathering. The list of opponents had already been decided, and she could not break the rules.
Just wait and see.
She clenched her teeth and fiercely glared back at Yelu Zhi.
Yelu Zhi's lungs were about to explode. The people of Jing were too much of a bully! First, they looked around and pretended that I did not exist, and now they are threatening me face to face. I dared to come to the Yellow River Gathering, do you think I am afraid of you?
He fiercely glared back.
Not to mention how Yelu Zhi was unafraid of death, the other Tianjiao on the eight stages were all fully prepared for the battle.
On stage G., the Tianjiao Jiang Wang of Qi, who forced his opponent to give up with a smile, suddenly became the most idle person.
He was calm. He looked left and right, then stared at Deng Qi and Yin Wenhua on stage G. He was ready to watch the battle.
The reason why he chose to watch this battle was that he was very curious about Deng Qi from the Mu Kingdom. Secondly, he was also very interested in Yin Wenhua's 24 Solar Terms Sword.
Below the stage, Cao Jie was still a little worried that Jiang Wang would not be able to achieve his goal and would feel indignant.
However, this problem did not exist for Jiang Wang at all.
He was surprised that Lin Zhengren suddenly suffered a "Blood Ghost Backlash."
He had already prepared two plans to try to kill him on stage. He did not expect that he would not go on stage at all.
However, other than being surprised, he did not feel indignant. Instead, he felt a little … amused.
He felt that he had made a mountain out of a molehill by treating this seriously.
Was this person worthy of her?
He had originally attached great importance to Lin Zhengren as an opponent. In order to completely eliminate him, he had not hesitated to ask Cao Jie to change the duel list. He had wanted to try to kill Lin Zhengren under the nose of Perfected Cultivator Yu Hua.
However, when Lin Zhengren had fainted and injured himself, he had stood alone on the martial arts stage.
He had asked himself, "Why did I come to the Riverview Platform?
To kill Lin Zhengren? To humiliate Zhuang Jun and Zhuang Chen?
That was not the case.
I came here to fight for the number one position in the world! "
Lin Zhengren did not even have the right to stand on this path to becoming the number one position in the world.
Because he had already laid down on the ground.
In this kind of Tianjiao, where the whole world was watching, he did not even have the courage to make a move.
He did not even dare to test the waters!
Could such a person, no matter how shrewd he was, really be considered a match?
The path to the Dao was long and difficult. One could not always be prepared before embarking on the path!
Without courage, how could one advance?
Today, Jiang Wang stepped on this bright path and advanced toward the number one position in the world. Whether the result was good or bad, whether he succeeded or not, he had already reached a higher position. As for Lin Zhengren, he would forever be left on the side of the road.
He would never stop and wait.
If he ever saw him again, he would just kill him.
