The Nine Seats Emerge
Six days had passed since the start of the trial.
In the deepest part of the Secret Territory, the people from the various empires and kingdoms were gathered there. They raised their heads and stared at the empty space in front of them anxiously.
Other than these people, there were also many people from the Qin and Chang Families. At the front were Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo. They sat on one side and exuded a dignified aura.
As for Yun Changqing, he stood to the side. His gaze was not focused on the front, but on Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo. His eyes were filled with anger, as if he knew what was going on.
However, he didn't make a sound, and his expression was dejected and revealed a helpless expression.
"It's about time, isn't it?" Chang Chixiao opened his eyes as a smug smile appeared on his face.
Qin Qiumo nodded and replied, "According to our plan, the trial should have been completed on the sixth day. They should be out soon."
"With the protection of the six elders, this trial will be a smooth one. Father, don't worry."
Chang Mingyang said. He turned his gaze and looked ahead. He thought to himself, "They should be able to find Luo Yun in six days. I hope that kid has the heavy sword with him!"
From the moment the trial began, in Chang Mingyang's heart, Chu Xingyun was already a dead man. He would definitely die a horrible death in the Secret Territory.
Therefore, at this moment, he only cared about the whereabouts of the Black Hole Heavy Sword.
Buzz!
Just as he was deep in thought, ripples suddenly appeared on the calm surface of the water. Waves spread out on the surface of the water, forming ripples that instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"He's out!"
Following a cry of surprise, under the expectant gazes of the crowd, a five-colored halo appeared in the air above the pool. A figure quickly flew out of the halo and slowly descended.
This figure was dressed in black and held two short swords in his hands. As soon as he landed, his resolute face was filled with surprise. Soon, the surprise turned into joy and spread across his face.
"Number one, I, Xu Gufeng, actually obtained the number one position in this trial!" The youth burst out in ecstasy. He danced and laughed like a madman.
Seeing the appearance of this youth, the crowd burst into discussions. Some were surprised, some were overjoyed, and some were jealous. The entire space became very lively.
Chang Chixiao and the others naturally saw this youth from behind.
In an instant, their proud expressions froze and their eyes became dull. It was as if they had fallen into an absolute silence. Not a single sound could be heard.
"How could this be!"
After a while, Chang Chixiao's angry voice broke the silence.
His face became extremely unpleasant as he stared ahead and shouted angrily, "The number one position has fallen into the hands of others. What are those good-for-nothings doing!"
Just now, Chang Chixiao was even more proud when he saw the strange scene in the pool. He knew that the number one position would definitely belong to the Chang Clan. He had already thought of how to speak and was prepared to show off.
However, the final result was a slap to his face.
The number one position was not from the Chang Clan or the Qin Clan, but from the Eighteen Empires. This was unacceptable to him!
On the side, Qin Qiumo's face was also unpleasant. Although he did not shout angrily, the gloomy aura emitted from his body made ordinary people not dare to approach him. It was extremely eerie.
"There is no difference between the top ten positions. Although we did not obtain the number one position, the remaining nine positions will definitely belong to our two clans." Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Chang Mingyang comforted them.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Just then, three colorful halos appeared in the sky above the pool at the same time. A figure flew out from each of the halos.
The moment the three people appeared, the crowd was in an uproar again. Like the previous person, the three of them were ecstatic. They danced and laughed loudly.
It was also at this moment that Chang Mingyang didn't speak.
The three people in front of them were not from the Qin Clan or the Chang Clan. They were also from the Eighteen Empires!
Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo's faces were beyond ugly. Their faces were distorted and their eyes were like ghosts. They stared at the four people gloomily with killing intent.
"Strange, the top four positions are not from the Qin Clan or the Chang Clan?" Yun Changqing's eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice was filled with surprise.
Before the start of the trial, he knew that Qin Qiumo and Chang Chixiao had bribed many people to place six experts among the disciples of the Qin Clan and the Chang Clan. They were going to take the top ten positions.
If there was an accident in the number one position, it would be pardonable. However, there were also accidents in the top three positions, which was somewhat inconceivable.
Not long after the three people left the Mystery Land, the buzzing sound was heard again.
This time, there were more halos. There were five of them.
Everyone held their breaths, including Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiu Mo. Their bodies leaned forward, and their eyes were red as they stared at the five halos.
"They are finally out!"
A crisp female voice, like that of an oriole, came out from the halos and calmed the heated atmosphere.
Immediately after, a beautiful woman descended from the sky. She was graceful and was surrounded by light. She was like a fairy descending from the Ninth Heaven. Everyone was stunned by her beauty.
"Princess Qingcheng, the fifth position belongs to Princess Qingcheng!" The crowd burst into exclamations. This beautiful woman was Xia Qingcheng. She was ranked fifth and had won the fifth position.
Just as Xia Qingcheng landed on the ground, the halo trembled. The person who walked out was a handsome young man carrying a pitch-black heavy sword on his back. His robes fluttered in the wind, and he had an unruly expression on his face. He landed steadily beside Xia Qingcheng.
This person was Chu Xingyun. He had won the sixth position.
After the two of them, the other three figures also appeared in the vision of the crowd. The group of five caused the atmosphere to become lively again. There were even many people who intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiu Mo at the back.
Back then, when the trial began, Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo had personally led forty-three disciples to the trial. Their faces were filled with pride, and they didn't even put Yun Changqing in their eyes.
Now, nine out of the 10 positions had been taken.
However, these nine people were all from the Dynasties and Kingdoms. None of the disciples from the Qin and Chang Clans had made it to the finals. This result was too humiliating. Qin Qiumo and Chang Chixiao were embarrassed.
"Chang Chixiao and the others did not say a word. It seems that they are very angry." Xia Qingcheng retracted her gaze and smiled at Chu Xingyun. Her eyes were filled with joy.
"The evils they brought upon themselves are the hardest to bear." Chu Xing Yun shrugged. His tone was very casual.
Xia Qingcheng did not know whether to laugh or cry when she heard this. However, she looked at Chu Xingyun with admiration.
In the early morning, she had wanted to hurry up and win the top two positions quickly.
However, Chu Xingyun stopped her.
According to Chu Xingyun, there were 43 disciples from the Qin and Chang Clans. Among them, there were five people who were half a step away from the Sky Spirit Realm and one who was a Sky Spirit Realm.
According to the plan of the Qin and Chang Clans, these 43 people would be easily gathered under the guidance of the Trace Revealing Jade. Then, they would be unstoppable and take the top ten positions.
Now, those 43 people had all died in the hands of Chu Xingyun. If the two of them won the top two positions, it would definitely arouse the suspicion of Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo.
With their sinister characters, even if they could not find anything, they would not let them go easily.
Therefore, Chu Xingyun deliberately slowed down. The two of them blended into the crowd and won the fifth and sixth positions. In this way, they could be in the top ten and not arouse the suspicion of the other party.
"This guy, not only is his talent amazing, even his scheming is unfathomable. Now I finally understand why he could remain calm when facing Qin Qiumo and Chang Chixiao. The difference between the two of them is too big, it's like a moat!"
Xia Qingcheng sighed in her heart. Her beautiful eyes stared at Chu Xingyun's handsome face and she was slightly entranced.
Buzz!
At this time, the water that had just calmed down began to roll again. The last five-colored halo slowly appeared in everyone's vision.
Chu Xingyun, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, also opened his eyes and looked at the void curiously.
