As the top sixty-four places on the Question Mark Tablet were shown one by one, Ye Mo found that a small percentage of the top sixty-four places were actually from the Ruan Le Tian domain.
Even so, Immortal King He Yi’s face was still very upset. He felt that not only did Ruan Le Tian do extremely poorly in the first two rounds this time, the number of people entering the third round was still too small. This result was so far from what he had imagined that he could not be happy at all.
Although he was unhappy in his heart, but as the Immortal King of He-yi who was presiding over this Dao Questioning Competition, he could not show it, not to mention that some people were already doubting him.
“In the second round of the competition Zong once again excelled, claiming two top fives. After winning first place in the first round, Zong’s Mo Ying even won another fifth place in the second round, securing a Heavenly Immortal slot in the Dao Asking Pavilion. It is very likely that he will become the first person in this Dao Asking Competition, or rather he is already deservedly the first person ……”
Immortal King Huyi’s words left many people puzzled, the one who won first place in the second round was clearly Xu Ji, how come this was praised to Mo Ying again?
Ye Mo’s face was expressionless, he certainly understood what Immortal King He Yi meant. He was the one who had been a*sa*sinated by Immortal King He Yi inside the channel of the Daoist Monument. Although he deliberately didn’t get first place, he still made that old fellow remember it. The meaning of his words was clear, that he would not spare himself in the third round. This was already two consecutive rounds to help him pull hatred, and Ye Mo believed that Immortal King He Yi would definitely target him in the third round.
Not to mention those old guys who had cultivated to Immortal King, even some Xuan Immortals and even some bystanders in the square could see that Immortal King He Yi’s words seemed to be more than just praising Ye Mo.
Leng Qingshui was expressionless, but Qin Wulian and Mai Wanlun were coldly glancing at Ye Mo, with some pride in their demeanour. It seemed that they only had to defeat Ye Mo in the next round. Then they would be the rightful number one in this round.
Seeing the expressions of the participating Xuan Immortals below. Immortal King Huyi sneered in his heart. Even the blandest of people. He would not be able to calm down in the face of the first person in the Dao Questioning Competition, not to mention that he had arranged a backhand.
“In order to highlight the high standard of this Dao Asking Grand Competition, after three rounds of this Grand Competition, one person will be named the first person of the three **competitions. If anyone can get the first place, they will be given a chance to refine a pill by the Sixth Grade Immortal Pill Master of Ruan Le Tian, as well as a chance to refine a weapon by the Seventh Grade Immortal Weapon Master of Ruan Le Tian ……”
If Immortal King He Yi hadn’t gotten much response when he pulled hatred for Ye Mo before, then this time he had succeeded. This was a real benefit. A Sixth Grade Immortal Pill Master refining pills? Even an Immortal King status would have to request it. A seventh-grade immortal artifact refining master was even more remarkable. Even if one didn’t refine artifacts, upgrading one’s magic treasures a bit would be a heavenly opportunity.
Some people who didn’t understand the reason thought that this was set up by Immortal King He-yi for Ye Mo on purpose, that Ye Mo had performed spectacularly for two consecutive rounds, and as long as he didn’t perform too badly in the third round, he would get this first place. These people even began to envy Ye Mo.
And some people who knew what Immortal King He-yi had in mind were secretly sighing that Immortal King He-yi was malicious. The third round of the tournament was a hard-fought challenge, one could even say it was a decapitation tournament. That meant that any means could be used in order to win the tournament.
To take the first place in the competition. Not only did they have to win first place in the third round, but they also had to defeat Ye Mo.
Originally, there was no such thing as this first person in the Great Dao Questioning Competition as Immortal King He-yi said. Even if others fought with Ye Mo, at most they would just defeat him. But now it was different, those who wanted to prove that they were better than Ye Mo would try to kill Ye Mo by any means.
For many of the participating Xuan Immortals, the first and second rounds were not based on true skill. Only a hard fight would show the level of strength, so even Guan Feijian was not in the eyes of many, let alone Ye Mo who relied on luck in everyone’s eyes.
The three Immortal Kings of the clan’s faces turned blue with anger, and Immortal King Wo Huan was even about to have a fit. However, the Mid Continent Immortal King pulled her back, Immortal King He Yi did not name or say anyone, and his words were fair and equitable, and could even be said to be for the sake of the contestants. If Immortal King Wo Huan was to have a fit, he could only say that Zong was presumptuous.
Ye Mo smiled coldly in his heart, he himself was a Sixth Grade Immortal Pill Master and even more so a Sixth Grade Alchemy Master, he was not half interested in asking people to refine pills and weapons. Of course, he also knew that this was Immortal King He Yi deliberately targeting him. But he didn’t care, even if it was Guan Feijian, he was still sure that he would have killed him.
Immortal King He-yi, however, seemed to be unaware that he had provoked many people to kill Ye Mo, and continued as if nothing had happened: “There are a total of sixty-four people entering the third round, and we will adopt a challenge elimination round. The first to thirty-second place will guard the ring, and the thirty-third to sixty-fourth place will go up to the stage to challenge. Each of the top thirty-two must and can only accept one challenge, the winner stays, the loser is eliminated ……”
“Lord Immortal King Huyi, Zong Xu Gui withdraws from the third round ……” Xu Gui didn’t wait for Immortal King Huyi to finish his words and took the initiative to stand out and say aloud.
After Xu Gui finished speaking, almost all of the people looked at him. Not understanding why this number one in the second round had suddenly withdrawn from the competition.
“Someone is afraid.” One of Ruan Le Tian’s Xuan Xian said with a cold smile.
Xu Gui looked back at the Xuan Xian who had spoken, if Mo Ying hadn’t told him not to take part in the third round, he would have had to stay just because of those words.
However, when Xu Gui saw a pale faced Xuan Xian with downcast eyes next to the speaking Xuan Xian, he immediately subconsciously glanced at the list of the second round. Immediately afterwards, he understood what Ye Mo meant, and even a cold sweat broke out on his back.
Ye Mo didn’t care about Ruan Le Tian’s Heavenly Immortal ranking list, but he was extremely concerned about it. The Xuan Xian who was pale and his eyes were downcast was called Jane Kill, the sixth on the Ruan Le Tian domain’s Heavenly Immortal list. Xu Ji had read Jane Kill’s profile and knew that this man was not originally called Jane Kill, except that he had a characteristic that those who fought against him had to be killed.
This was different from the Blood Clothed Immortal, who only killed those who fought against him, whether they were friends or enemies, as long as they fought against him he was killing them all. After killing, he does not seek revenge on the family of the friend who was killed. He seems to be a man who exists solely to kill the other side in battle.
And before he kills each time, he calls out the word kill. Usually, after he called out kill, no one could escape his next spell. Basically, after the word came out, his opponent had already taken one step into the Yellow Spring. Over time, others forgot what his name was and just called him Jane Kill.
It was surprising that such a person was ranked at number thirty-nine. It was already very obvious that it was Ruan Lotian’s intention. If he hadn’t withdrawn from the competition, Jane Kill would definitely have been the first to challenge him. Although Xu Ji was conceited, he wasn’t so conceited that he could escape from Jane Killer. It was the Blood Clothed Immortal he reckoned he was no match, and Jane Kill was still ranked above the Blood Clothed Immortal.
After Xu Gui saw Jane Killer, he soon saw Blood Clothed Immortal again, again after thirty-two, obviously also ranked deliberately for this challenge rule. Ruan Le Tian was indeed shameless, cheating so openly that there was no way for others to say anything.
Then he saw a few other people on Ruan Le Tian’s Heavenly Immortal list after the thirty-second place, and it had become clear in his heart that Mo Ying had saved his life again. He just didn’t understand how Mo Ying knew that Ruan Le Tian would use this method of competition again.
“You’re forfeiting?” Huyi looked at Xu Gui suspiciously, hating in his heart, how could Xu Gui forfeit and have someone kill him? Just as Xu Qi had expected, there were several of Ruan Lotian’s experts in the thirty-third to sixty-fourth places, and Jane Kill was just one of them. The purpose of leaving these people behind was simple, to kill.
It was the three Immortal Kings of the clan who all looked at Xu Qi in confusion, they likewise did not understand why Xu Qi had to abstain.
Xu Gui said aloud, “I have damaged my sea of consciousness in the second round, I am unable to play the third round.”
After Xu Qi finished speaking, Immortal King Ping Zhou, who had not spoken much, said, “Since you have been injured, don’t compete in the third round, stay and rest and prepare to enter the Pavilion of the Way of Enquiry.”
“Yes.” Xu Ji hurriedly replied, while taking out a jade slip and engraving something simple and handing it to Ye Mo.
Ye Mo turned out the jade slip and after scanning it, he understood that his guess was correct, Ruan Le Tian had really ambushed many experts from the thirty-third to the sixty-fourth place using this competition method.
It was a good thing that the only person who entered the top thirty-two in Zong was Xu Ji, and now that Xu Ji had forfeited, the others were all after the thirty-second place. Even if these ambush experts want to challenge, they can’t challenge, at most they can only challenge him, Ye Mo.
That Jane killed others who were afraid, he would not be afraid.
Seeing Xu Gui retreat, Immortal King He Yi was greatly upset in his heart, but there was nothing he could do when people withdrew from the competition. It was a good thing that that Mo Ying was still around, so he would have to kill that Mo Ying in this round no matter what.
“Now that one person has withdrawn from the tournament, the tournament system will remain unchanged, and the thirty-third person will guard the ring instead of Xu Ji. One of the thirty-two people guarding the ring will not be challenged to the next match in the round. After the thirty-two are decided, then the same rules will apply as in the previous match, with the first sixteen continuing to be challenged by the next sixteen in the second round. After the sixteen come out, the same rules will continue to determine the top eight.”
Although Immortal King Huyi was talking, he had some regrets in his heart, he should have known that the rule was set, that those who abandoned the third round were deprived of their second round results. But he didn’t say it before, and if he said it now, it would definitely cause public anger.
Ye Mo even smiled coldly, he was in fifth place, and as long as he hadn’t been killed and entered the next round, he would always be challenged by Ruan Le Tian’s people. This rule was simply deliberately set up to target him, this old guy’s brain was really good, he thought of this in the blink of an eye.
Ye Mo was really right in his thinking, this challenge from Immortal King He Yi was really aimed at him, he didn’t believe that with so many experts in Ruan Le Tian, he couldn’t kill a mid Xuan Xian.
Immortal King He-yi swept a glance at Ye Mo without thinking before continuing, “Every time the third round of the Great Dao Questioning Competition is held, the top eight places are rewarded, and the same applies this time.”
