Xiahou Longcheng was speechless after being accused of such a big crime.
Miao Yi didn't give Xiahou Longcheng any time to react. He quickly took out a jade disk, wrote something down, and threw it to Xiahou Longcheng. "This is the letter of challenge. After the assessment, you and I will fight to the death. I was the one who initiated the challenge. If I die in your hands, you will not be held responsible. If you are not afraid of death, do you dare to sign a non-responsibility contract like me? After the assessment, we will fight to the death! "
With Xiahou Longcheng's temper and brain, how could he avoid Miao Yi's provocation in front of so many people? Besides, he wasn't afraid of Miao Yi in the first place. He glared at him. "I'll sign it. Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
"Brother Xiahou!" Dong Yinggao pressed Xiahou Longcheng's arm, signaling him to think twice.
But Xiahou Longcheng didn't appreciate it. He didn't care if Miao Yi was on his side or not. He waved his arm. "Get lost!"
Dong Yinggao lost his temper in front of everyone. He watched Xiahou Longcheng take out a jade disk, sign the contract, and throw it to Miao Yi. He was speechless. He didn't even know if Xiahou Longcheng could survive the assessment. Signing a bullsh * t contract? He sighed inwardly. How could he be provoked like this? How simple-minded.
Miao Yi checked the contents of the jade disk. He was happy that he had achieved his goal. He waved the jade disk in his hand. "Goodbye!"
"Let's go!" Xiahou Longcheng waved his hand in an imposing manner and led his men away.
Miao Yi returned to his bunk with a sigh of relief. He sat cross-legged on the wooden plank and continued to meditate.
The people nearby looked at him one by one. Those who were a little smarter, such as Tang San in the neighboring area, had a thoughtful look on their faces. Lady Biyue, who knew about the grudge between Miao Yi and Xiahou Longcheng, sighed softly. She secretly praised Miao Yi's ability. With just a few words, he was able to suppress the most troublesome Xiahou Longcheng. Otherwise, if Xiahou Longcheng made a move, Commander Niu would definitely have a headache.
Because of this, Lady Biyue was puzzled. Did Niu Youde have the confidence to get out of this assessment?
Gao Guan's decree did save Miao Yi a lot of trouble. Even though there were still people coming to confirm which one was Niu Youde, no one dared to provoke him anymore.
The intermittent rain lasted for more than half a month. During this period, there were still people arriving one after another.
With the precedent of being killed by Gao Guan for being late for the first assessment in the Lifeless Land, no one dared to be late again. Regardless of the distance, more than 1.8 million participants had all arrived before the deadline.
After half a month of rain, it was sunny for another half a month, and then it was rainy again.
As the examination date approached, the examiners waiting in the huts in the basin gradually tensed up. They could no longer relax. It was the Purgatory! Purgatory! That was a dangerous place that the Sky Emperor had once led an army to personally conquer!
No laughter could be heard in the basin. The people were all running around, trying to form groups to deal with the possible dangers that might appear. Zhang Hanfang and the others didn't have the mood to deal with Miao Yi for the time being. They were all making arrangements to enter the Purgatory. Su Li followed closely behind Zhang Hanfang and the others.
Even Lady Biyue, who could stay out of this, felt depressed in this atmosphere. She didn't know how many of the 1.8 million examiners would come back alive. With people coming and going in front of her, she tilted her head to look at Miao Yi who was sitting cross-legged in the corner of the area. Only Miao Yi didn't move from the beginning to the end. He didn't go to form groups.
She also knew that this was the orphan in this assessment. Moreover, he was an orphan that everyone wanted to trample on. Even if he went to form a group, no one would be willing to accept him. He could only sit alone in the corner.
On a rainy day, Lady Biyue and more than eight hundred of the main towns gathered under Gao Guan's command. After receiving the order, they returned to their residences and distributed the assessment rules to the hands of the people below them.
Miao Yi and the other examiners immediately took the jade discs and read the contents carefully. The assessment content and the assessment results were officially announced.
The content indicated that the area around the entrance and exit of the Purgatory was not included in the assessment because these two areas had long been explored by the Heavenly Court. The situation of the other areas needed to be explored by the examiners.
The assessment results were based on the size of the explored area and whether the situation was detailed or not. With so many examiners, the explored areas would definitely overlap. The Heavenly Court didn't care that much. Whoever explored a larger area and had a more detailed situation would win. There wasn't much else to say.
Another reason was that if someone explored an area that others didn't know, it meant that they went to a place that others didn't dare to go. They would be ranked as the winner.
If anyone found a new Star Gate in the Purgatory that led to the outer realms or a new entrance to Hell, they could end the assessment at any time and report it. Even if they had only participated for a year, they didn't have to participate in the subsequent assessments and would be directly listed as the winner. Out of the more than eight thousand Sky Streets in the Heavenly Court, they could choose any Sky Street Great Commander. No matter how low their rank was, they would be directly promoted to a Purple Armored General and enjoy the salary of a Purple Armored General. If they were already at that rank, they would be directly promoted by one rank.
In order to prevent the same entrance from being discovered by more than one person, the first to discover it would win. The rest wouldn't be counted and would continue to complete the remaining assessment time.
All the explored points had to have a detailed map for the Heavenly Court to verify. If they found that someone had fabricated it, they would be killed!
The end of the assessment would be the exit of the Purgatory marked on the star map.
The assessment time was still one hundred years!
At the end, there was a warning. It warned all examiners not to think about ambushing other examiners near the exit of the Purgatory to steal their hard-earned gains. The rebels of Hell would definitely know about the assessment this time. The exit would definitely be the most dangerous place. Everyone had to think about the consequences. Only when the assessment was about to end would the Heavenly Court send out an army to clear that area and control the exit to protect everyone's safe return.
Once the assessment ended and they entered the exit area, the army wouldn't be allowed to kill or rob each other within the area controlled by the army. Anyone who violated this would be killed without mercy regardless of their background!
As for the other times and places during the assessment, everyone could do whatever they wanted. After all, once everyone left Hell, the Heavenly Court wouldn't be able to control everyone's every move. Saying that they weren't allowed to do anything was just lying to themselves.
His meaning was obvious. He wanted to force these 1.8 million people to take the test obediently and not think about taking advantage at the last moment.
As soon as this warning came out, many people wailed in their hearts, especially those who were originally commanders of Sky Street, or those who could get people to help them. Many of them had planned to hide at the exit until the end of the assessment, and then wait to steal the fruits of others' labor. Now, they had completely given up hope.
If he didn't snatch it at the exit and wanted to snatch it from other places, he would have to find it first. At the very least, he would have to run around. If he dared to run around, he would be taking the test seriously. What was the point of snatching?
Those with ulterior motives did not expect the rules to be so harsh. This was forcing everyone to risk their lives, or forcing some of the commanders who wanted to protect their positions to give up their positions.
Holding the examination rules in his hands? Si Shi called Mu Gu for a chat. The Dark Shepherd Sauce comforts himself, the Instant Emperor inlays pods in the market, is it not the Blue Cape Mu Qiang who cries the Spring Ridge?
He let his aunt? Si Miu Clam enzyme each Chlorine Temple Laxative carbonyl Qiao? Stand tall??? Locust Killing Wand? Making a date with a river thief? Ping Pong Chat Team? Yao Yan Yi Ying Fang.
Many rich and powerful children wanted to bang their heads against the wall when they saw this rule. It was too late to back out now. If they wanted to treat this as a game, they would have to ask the cold-faced director for permission!
This was truly a set of assessment rules aimed at reorganizing the Heavenly Avenue. They wanted to kick incompetent people out of the position of Heavenly Avenue's commander as much as possible.
Many of the commanders of the Celestial Street had completely given up. Their last hope of keeping their positions had been severed, and they could only give up their positions to save their lives.
Some people were like this. They were brave enough to fight with their own people or fight among themselves. However, once they encountered an unfamiliar environment or something unknown, they would be terrified. They would immediately shrink back and lose the prestige they had in their own faction.
However, to the cultivators who had no background and wanted to fight for their future, the strict assessment rules were overjoyed. The Heavenly Courts had at least given them a fair guarantee to a certain extent.
If the rules of the assessment had been announced earlier, the number of people who would be willing to sign up for the assessment would not be limited to just these few.
The examiners who had received the assessment rules were all studying them carefully in their huts. Some were happy, while others were worried.
For many people, it was a difficult day and night.
The next day, the rain did not stop. The sky was filled with dark clouds, and it was drizzling.
In the cave at the top of the mountain, the Director, who wore a tall hat and a black cloak wrapped around his shoulders, strode out with a cold expression. He was wearing black high-tops and white boots with thick soles. Two groups of people walked out one after another and spread out.
Gao Guan, who was standing on the steps, stretched out a fair palm from the gap of his cloak to catch the cool rain.
"Sir!" Feng Yuan cupped his fists and said, "It's time!"
Gao Guan was expressionless and did not say a word. He gently waved the palm that he used to catch the rain.
"Yes!" Feng Yuan turned around and shouted, "Beat the drums!"
The Heavenly Generals standing in front of the four Heaven Shaking Drums immediately waved their hammers and beat the drums.
Dong dong dong dong …
The sound of the Heaven Shaking Drums rumbled and surged. The drifting rain followed the sound of the drums and the dark clouds in the sky also fluctuated. The sound of the drums was enough to cover the entire basin.
The water in the muddy puddles between the huts in the basin immediately became muddy and rippled. All the participants, including Miao Yi, were shocked. It was the first time for most of them to hear such a shocking sound of the drums.
Lady Biyue immediately jumped down from the wooden plank she was sitting on and sternly shouted, "Gather! Those who are not in position after three beats of the drums will be killed! "
Similar voices rose and fell from the various headquarters in the basin.
In an instant, countless figures rushed out of the huts and floated in the air above the huts. They floated in the air above the basin and listened to the shocking sound of the drums. Lady Biyue and the other headquarters quickly counted whether the people were all present. If there was a mistake in the number of people entering the purgatory, they would be the first to suffer.
The scattered people floating in the air above the basin quickly became orderly. More than 1.8 million people were lined up in armor under the gloomy and rolling dark clouds. It was a shocking sight.
After three beats of the drums, there seemed to be no vacancy reported in the endless golden-armored army.
Gao Guan's cold eyes swept across the assembled army. Suddenly, he waved his hand and lifted his cloak. With a swoosh, he rushed into the sky.
