Nangong Jing's words could not help but be said by Liu Dingdang. At that time, the surrounding people were also stunned. After a long while, they finally regained their senses.
The meaning behind Nangong Jing's words could not be clearer. However, what everyone had seen before was the tragic situation of the eliminated people. In addition, less than half an hour had passed since Nangong Jing had mentioned four hours ago. No one could have imagined that someone would be able to pass this first trial in such a short period of time.
As the crowd regained their senses, they couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
A smile appeared on Liu Dingdang's face.
"Really? That's great!" As she said this, there was no complacent expression on her face. Some of them were just glad and relaxed after hearing that the little monk was safe and sound.
Nangong Jing took a deep look at her and winked at a swordsman beside him. The swordsman with three red threads embroidered on his sleeve stepped forward and slightly cupped his hands towards Liu Dingdang, saying, "Miss, this way, please. I will lead you up the mountain."
Liu Dingdang naturally wouldn't refuse. At that time, he nodded happily and left with the other party.
…
After Liu Dingdang left, another half an hour passed. During that time, another fifty to sixty people were eliminated one after another, but none of them reached the summit.
At this time, Nangong Jing estimated for an hour and suddenly said again, "Silver Deacon, do it again!"
At that time, the candidates on the Silver Execution Rankings, who had been waiting anxiously for a long time, stepped out one after another and walked up the stairs.
Nangong Jing looked at the excited and frightened crowd and smiled. "You have three hours."
Everyone who had witnessed the tragic situation of those who had been defeated before took a deep breath and quickly walked towards the summit of the mountain. Soon, they disappeared from everyone's sight.
Silence returned to the mountain gate.
At this moment, apart from the many attendants who followed the contestants to the entrance, all that remained was Jin Zhi, including Yan Zhan.
Most of the people who could become the Golden Deacon Pre-Selection were Great Evolution Realm experts, or a few experts who had been in the Realm of Flame Dust for many years. Compared to those Copper Deacons and Silver Deacons, they were still calm and relaxed.
After all, apart from their cultivation levels that were several notches higher, what was more important was that these Golden Execution Candidates also had extremely high horizons. No matter what kind of situation they faced, they had their own ways to deal with it. At this moment, most of them were resting with their eyes closed, waiting for their trials to begin.
After about fifteen minutes of climbing up the mountain, the crowd suddenly let out a cry of alarm.
Everyone followed the gazes of those who exclaimed, only to see the figure of a middle-aged man appear in the halo beside Nangong Jing.
He was naturally someone who had been eliminated from this trial. In the fifteen minutes since Silver Deacon had gone up the mountain, such things had happened from time to time. As for those who had been eliminated, both Copper Deacon and Silver Deacon had been eliminated. Logically speaking, after the initial surprise, everyone was accustomed to this kind of thing and did not have such a big reaction.
However, what was strange was that this eliminated man was the elder of Sunset Cloud Valley, one of the twelve towns of the three sects. His name was Luo Mo, and he was an expert in the Great Evolution Realm. He was a famous genius genius in Great Xia when he was young. He was only in his early forties, and he was about the same age as Yan Zhan. He was also one of the few people who had the greatest potential to break through to the Earthly Immortal Realm. Logically speaking, with his cultivation, he was naturally qualified to participate in Gold Sword Holder's election. However, perhaps for the sake of stability, he chose Silver Handler. In fact, he did enter the Swordsman Competition as the leader of the Silver Handler Rankings of the Dragon Gate Association.
In the eyes of most people, the reason Luo Mo made such a choice with his cultivation was simply to smoothly pass the Swordsman Competition and obtain the qualifications to go to the Demon Suppressing Tower, so as to lay a solid foundation for his breakthrough to the Immortal Realm.
This was indeed an extremely wise choice, and in the hearts of everyone, Luo Mo's identity as a swordsman was naturally certain.
But now, this man had appeared in this halo, which was far beyond everyone's expectations.
The expressions of the people who had participated in the election before had all changed. Not only were they surprised that Luo Mo had been eliminated, but they were also worried about their own situation. Most of them were only at the same level as Luo Mo. Some of them were even inferior to him, and Luo Mo could be eliminated. It could be imagined that this seemingly ordinary trial must have some sort of mystery hidden within it.
Everyone's expressions instantly became serious, and their leisurely expressions from before were no longer traceable at this moment.
They wanted to ask Luo Mo what this trial was all about, They were actually able to eliminate him, but at this moment, Nangong Jing was standing in front of the crowd. This kind of behavior was somewhat suspicious of bad rules, so they had no choice but to put aside their thoughts and watch with a heavy expression as Luo Mo, who had a lonely expression, was helped out of this place by the accompanying disciples.
Of course, although Luo Mo's defeat had brought quite a bit of gloom to the crowd, it was not enough to shake their resolve. After all, too many geniuses had perished on the path of cultivation. Only those who persisted in their own path would be able to reach the Legendary Realm.
Very quickly, Nangong Jing also brought some good news to the crowd. Several people on the Silver and Copper Execution Rankings rose to the top one hour after the incident, and there were many people Chu Chouli had mentioned before.
What was even more unexpected to Chu Chouli and Yan Zhan was that there was Fang Ziyu amongst these people.
As Fang Ziyu's follower, Chu Chouli was naturally invited by Nangong Jing to the top of the mountain. However, the burly man asked Nangong Jing pitifully, "Can I go up later?"
Although this request exceeded Nangong Jing's expectations, it wasn't too difficult. The woman smiled and nodded in agreement.
Chu Chouli was unwilling to go up the mountain. Naturally, he was waiting for Xu Han, who hadn't appeared yet. The middle-aged man's heart was as uncomfortable as a cat's claw. Without Xu Han, how could he go up the mountain peacefully?
Lu Houde , who had been secretly observing this place, seemed to have seen through Chu Chouli's thoughts as well. At that time, he sneered and said loudly, "We can't wait any longer. Why are you doing this? The competition between the Copper Deacons has already begun. It has already been more than two hours. Isn't it embarrassing for him to come? What's the point?"
"In the end, it's a hundred times better than you, an old man, who keeps walking out the door with three bars that were clawed out by an unknown woman!" Chu Chou was already bored. Hearing Lu Houde 's mockery, the anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed. He opened his mouth and said to Lu Houde .
The scar on Lu Houde 's face was caused by Xuan'er that day, so Chu Chouli naturally knew this.
However, this man had been in the streets all year round. He didn't care about the rules of Jianghu. He scolded people for not caring about whether they were real or fake. No matter how unpleasant they sounded, they would do as they pleased.
Sure enough, Lu Houde, who was already worried about the three scars on his face, instantly blushed. He looked at the expressions of the surrounding people who wanted to laugh but did not dare to laugh, and his heart was furious to the extreme. He pointed at Chu Chouli and scolded, "Shameless man, your mouth is full of dirty words!"
It had to be said that in terms of cursing abilities, Elder Lu's attainments could only be considered as an apprentice at the Treasure Aquarius Realm. As for this Hero Chu in front of him, he was an Immortal Realm expert who claimed to be able to curse Auntie on the streets for an entire night.
Faced with Lu Houde's reprimand, Chu Chouli casually curled his lips and lightly replied, "Toothless? Elder Lu doesn't have to worry about that. Grandpa Chu's teeth are fine. Elder Lu has been working all day in the Ancient Dao Tower. Do you have to pay attention to your body?"
After saying that, Chu Chouli also gave Lu Houde an extremely timely glance.
The Ancient Dao Pavilion was one of the best restaurants in Great Xia. There were some hidden dao that could make the nobles of Great Xia forget to return. Anyone who thought about these things could understand them. When the surrounding people heard this, they couldn't help but laugh and finally laughed out loud.
This caused Lu Houde 's expression to become even uglier. He didn't care about the bearing of any big sect, and he shouted at Chu Chouli.
The two of them exchanged blows, but Lu Houde did not get any advantage. Occasionally, he would be swallowed by Chu Chouli's irritating words until his face turned purple. Seeing that the two of them were getting more and more noisy, they had the intention to make a big move.
But at this moment, Nangong Jing's voice sounded again.
She said, "It's time for Jin Zhizhi."
