Miao Yi wasn't the only one. Everyone who came to participate in the examination, regardless of their previous identities and backgrounds, was treated equally here. They were all exposed to the open air and were constantly under the watchful eyes of the surrounding guards.
From the moment the Dragon Token was raised to the end of the examination, the examinees were given a time limit of three months to return. Those who did not return within the time limit would be treated as if they had no examination results. If the examinees did not return by the time they left the Purgatory, then they would not be able to leave for the rest of their lives and would remain in Hell forever!
On the desolate planet, Teng Fei stood with his hands clasped behind his back. He glanced at the starry sky and said, "It's almost over. Those who should have returned must have returned. Those who can't, I'm afraid it'll be hard for them to ever return. Have you counted how many people have returned? "
Gao Guan's gaze swept across the starry sky. "About 300,000, less than 400,000."
Teng Fei sighed, "In other words, almost 1.5 million people were buried in Purgatory. Once this news gets out, it will shake people's hearts!"
Gao Guan's expression was cold. "His Majesty has decreed that if the battle losses are too high, it is strictly forbidden to report the battle losses to Grandfather. Once discovered, no matter who it is, they will be severely punished!"
Teng Fei: "With so many eyes watching, can you hide it? Unless he killed everyone! Gao Guan, for so many years, our Heavenly Court's army has already lost too many people here. Why do we still have to use human lives to fill it up? I'll still say the same thing. The world is on our side. As long as we don't fall into chaos, these rebels won't be able to overturn the sky. You're His Majesty's closest minister. You should advise His Majesty! "
Gao Guan slowly said, "How can I allow others to snore beside my bed!"
Teng Fei was at a loss for words when he saw through the Emperor's thoughts. He sighed softly and stopped talking about this matter. He knew that it was useless to say anything more. In the eyes of that person, anything that could affect his rule would be seen as a scourge and a ferocious beast.
Two hours later, Teng Feifang spoke again, "It's time!"
Gao Guan waved his black cloak and his five claws grabbed at the dragon token in the distance. The colorful dragon immediately shook its head and tail, letting out a faint dragon roar. It flew over quickly and slammed its head into Gao Guan. At the moment of impact, it turned into a ball of brilliance and condensed into a token that fell into Gao Guan's hand. Gao Guan turned his hand and said indifferently, "It's over, retreat!"
Teng Fei turned around and shouted, "Pass down the order, retreat!"
"Yes!" The general who was on standby at the back replied.
Not long after, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who had cleared the battlefield returned one after another.
Gao Guan didn't want to entertain him any longer. He turned around and led the Right Supervisory Department's men away, flying toward the planet where the candidates had gathered.
He descended from the sky and landed outside the hall at the top of the mountain. He turned his head and glanced at the dense crowd in the basin. There were also countless gazes looking at him from below.
Gao Guan turned around and strode into the hall. At the same time, he said indifferently, "Begin the audit. Those who dare to help cheat will be beheaded!"
"Yes!" Si Yuan accepted the order and waved his hand to lead a group of people away.
All the examination results were quickly gathered in Feng Yuan's hands. Two deputies monitored the results together, or rather, it could be said that the three of them monitored each other to prevent anyone from helping the examinees to cheat. The security was very tight.
Thousands of people from the Celestial Court's Right Supervisory Department were searched. They were searched by different people and handed over all their belongings.
Soon, all the examination results were distributed to the thousand people. The first three hundred people would roughly categorize the examinees according to the regions of Hell that they had investigated, and then the next three hundred people would subdivide the results. The last three hundred people would check and confirm the results, and the remaining one hundred people would be responsible for the results of the cross-region investigation. In other words, this meant that the examinees had not only investigated one region, but had also gone to another region to investigate.
In just a day, the results of the hundreds of thousands of jade plates had been sorted.
The next day, Marshal Zilu Teng Fei, who was in charge of this place, gathered a large number of experts and gathered a large number of experts that the Celestial Court had sent in advance. They formed a total of 100,000 people and accompanied the thousands of people from the Right Supervisory Department. They were also responsible for protecting the thousands of people who were going to investigate the examination results. Feng Yuan personally led the team!
The large number of examinees sitting in the basin looked up at the sky and saw the large number of people flying into the sky.
"Brother Niu, it seems that they have already started the on-site investigation. They are really efficient!" Xiahou Longcheng clicked his tongue, then turned back and said worriedly, "I wonder what our examination results will be like."
Miao Yi said calmly, "Let the heavens decide. Let them be!" As he spoke, he noticed that Zhan Ruyi, who was next door, was looking over. When their gazes met, Zhan Ruyi immediately gave him a look of disdain.
Miao Yi was both angry and amused at the same time. 'You were clearly defeated by me, yet you still dare to look down on me? What kind of world is this? Is it so great to have a powerful background?
But then again, it's really great to have a powerful background. In the eyes of the Ying Clan, I'm just a small shrimp … '
Three months later, the rumbling sound of war drums suddenly came from outside the palace on the mountaintop. It was a very shocking sound, but it was different from the majesty of the Sky Shaking Drum.
"It's the war drums!"
"The war drums are beating. What's going on?"
"Is it an attack from the traitors?"
In the basin below, the experienced people were in an uproar. Many people stood up and opened their transcendence vision to see what was going on.
It was also Miao Yi's first time hearing the sound of war drums. He also stood up and looked. He saw the bright red drum on the mountaintop beating heavily.
On the mountaintop, a large number of troops guarding Purgatory were quickly gathering. Teng Fei and Gao Guan quickly walked out from the entrance of the grand hall. Gao Guan's expression was cold, while Teng Fei's was dark. His gaze was like a hawk as he looked around.
Teng Fei, who was standing on the steps, suddenly turned around and said something to Gao Guan. The two of them cupped their fists at each other, then Teng Fei waved his hand and led a dozen experts with infinite transcendence energy into the sky. In an instant, they broke through the clouds and were one step ahead.
After that, a large number of troops gathered and soared into the sky.
After watching the crowd leave, Gao Guan, who was wearing a tall hat and a black cloak, coldly swept his gaze across the basin below. Seeing the restless crowd below, he tilted his head and said something to the people below.
Soon, a large number of supervisors quickly descended the basin, continuously explaining to the people below that it wasn't an enemy attack. They just discovered the enemy's situation, so Grand Marshal Teng personally went to battle.
Many people were skeptical. For Grand Marshal Teng to personally go to battle, the enemy's situation was probably not ordinary.
Seeing that Kou Wenqing had purposely come over, Miao Yi immediately transmitted his voice and asked, "What happened?"
Kou Wenqing transmitted her voice back, "Someone falsified the assessment results and marked them randomly, leading the field survey personnel into danger. The rebels took advantage of the dangerous terrain to besiege us, which was disadvantageous to me. Fortunately, the Celestial Court had sent a large number of experts to assist us, so we were lucky enough not to be annihilated. We are currently in the midst of a difficult battle. At the same time, they sent an urgent request for help. The situation is urgent, so Grand Marshal Teng personally led his men to rescue them. With Grand Marshal Teng's cultivation, he should be able to arrive very soon.
So that's how it was! Miao Yi suddenly understood. He couldn't help but ask, "Whose assessment results were faulty?"
He was a little worried that Jin Man might have tricked him, but he didn't think that would be the case.
Kou Wenqing shook her head slightly, "I don't know about that. Let's wait for the results to come out."
If she could secretly reveal it to Miao Yi, then there were other supervisors who could reveal it to others. For a moment, it seemed like many people at the scene turned pale. They became extremely nervous and were in a state of anxiety.
After a while, Xiahou Longcheng also heard the news from somewhere and became worried. He came back and secretly transmitted his voice back to inform Miao Yi of the situation. Then, he asked Miao Yi, "Brother Niu, will our assessment results be okay? If there's a mistake, we'll lose our heads. "
Miao Yi comforted him, "Our results are good. I personally took the risk and went to the field. There won't be any problems." He was only worried that Jin Man would trick him. As for the place marked with the assessment results, he did go to the field to verify it himself. There shouldn't be any problems. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there wouldn't be any problems.
After hearing this, Xiahou Longcheng let out a huge sigh of relief. A smile appeared on his face, and he regained his arrogance. He looked around and said, "That's good. That's good. I'd rather have a bad result than have something like this happen. Otherwise, the chopper in Gao Guan's hand isn't just for show. People will really die, and even if they die, they will die in vain. Damn it, I don't know which guy has the guts to fool the Cold Magistrate, Gao Guan. He must be tired of living! "
'Now you're afraid?' Miao Yi thought it was funny. People who dared to do such a thing, other than those in the noble circle, wouldn't have the guts to do it.
Speaking of which, Xiahou Longcheng was lucky. He didn't have any results, and he did have the idea of cheating. Fortunately, the Xiahou family had made it clear in advance that they wouldn't help him find any connections to cheat. So, Xiahou Longcheng didn't dare to act recklessly, and he really escaped a disaster.
In fact, Gao Guan would change the assessment method at the last minute, and even Marshal Teng Feiteng, who was overseeing this place, didn't know about it …
The assessment results were supposed to be out within a year, but Gao Guan had given himself a generous deadline in case he didn't have enough time. In reality, the on-site verification results only took half a year to come out. Half a year later, a large number of people who had gone to the on-site verification descended from the sky. Grand Marshal Teng also returned with the team, wondering how the battle had gone.
Gao Guan appeared at the entrance of the grand hall to welcome him. He said calmly, "Marshal Teng, you've worked hard."
Teng Fei waved his hand. "It's okay to work hard. I just hope you can get the results out quickly! Otherwise, I'll almost offend all the nobles in the imperial court. You know what's going on. I don't think I need to say more. "
It had been a long time since Gao Guan had changed the assessment results at the last minute. Naturally, it couldn't be kept a secret anymore. Thus, those who had ulterior motives became anxious. It was useless to ask Gao Guan to make an exception. If they didn't, Gao Guan might even report it to the Celestial Emperor. Thus, Teng Fei, who was overseeing this place, was about to cry. Countless people were trying to contact him through their connections, begging him to help. However, with Gao Guan here, what could he do? It was so annoying, and he even offended people.
Actually, some people had no choice but to resort to trickery. Out of the 1.8 million participants, nearly 1.5 million had died. Many of their subordinates had died. Not everyone could find living participants to coerce and bribe, and those who did secretly wouldn't spread the news. Did they think the Celestial Emperor was an idiot by creating a large group of people with the same results?
Gao Guan didn't say anything. He only tilted his head and asked, "Is the list of fraudulent candidates out?"
Feng Yuan presented it with both hands. "One thousand and eighty-eight!"
