Chapter 2176: Chapter 2176: Damn! You Deserve to Die!
The final points for these two Body Refining Practitioners from the Ancient Land of Morning Light were fixed at six hundred and twenty-one.
The illusion body perished inside the secret realm, and outside the realm, the true body opened its eyes.
"Go and bring them back," War God Li Feng instructed the people beside him, a hint of pity in his eyes.
Immediately, two cultivators from the Ancient Land of Morning Light stepped out to support and bring back the two Nether Sky Realm Body Refining Practitioners who were struggling to get up. Burning their bloodlines caused immense harm to them. However, their effort paid off. The points for the Ancient Land of Morning Light exceeded one thousand two hundred and thirty, just a few points shy of the first-ranked Shadow Tower, placing them ahead of the Mystic Moon Trading House.
"Insane! Such practitioners actually burnt their bloodlines to gain temporary strength. What is Li Feng thinking?" Inspector Ao Hong’s eyes glinted viciously.
The points for his Mystic Moon Trading House had already fallen to third place.
Behind them was the Xin Family, with points over seven hundred and thirty, just under five hundred points behind the Mystic Moon Trading House. Normally, the Xin Family, whether its own members or hired associates, would not be able to gather that many points.
"Shadow Tower first! Ancient Land of Morning Light second! Mystic Moon Trading House third! The Xin Family has yet to engage in the third round of the Netherworld Points contest, and currently, they’re in fourth place. However, the final ranking should remain this way, right? The three Netherworld Cave quotas for the third round have been divided among the Shadow Tower, Ancient Land of Morning Light, and Mystic Moon Trading House," someone commented.
"That seems to be correct!" someone echoed.
"In that case, it’s three quotas for the Shadow Tower, two for the Ancient Land of Morning Light, two for the Mystic Moon Trading House, and two for the Xin Family. The last time the Yellow Spring Cave opened, the Xin Family only got one basic quota, so obtaining two this time is already quite good."
"Exactly. This time, the Mystic Moon Trading House is likely the most distressed! Last time they had four quotas when the Yellow Spring Cave opened. They’ve suddenly lost two; Inspector Ao Hong won’t be happy at all."
"Heh, if it weren’t for Jing Yan, the Mystic Moon Trading House would surely have four quotas again this time. Mystic Moon Trading House is too powerful," the discussions spread.
At this moment, Clan Chief Xin Si’s face was emotionless, but inside, he let out a sigh of relief. He didn’t expect things to turn out this way. If they hadn’t hired Jing Yan, the Xin Family would indeed be stuck in last place, with no chance at the third round’s floating quota.
In fact, it wasn’t just Clan Chief Xin Si who was grateful to Jing Yan. Gong Zhi Buddha of the Shadow Tower was also very grateful for Jing Yan’s reminder. Without that reminder, the Shadow Tower might not have achieved the current situation and perhaps not even surpassed the points of the Mystic Moon Trading House.
"Clan Chief Xin, it’s your Xin Family’s turn to send out contestants," Yuantong Immortal Venerable looked at Xin Si and said.
"Immortal Venerable, the contestants from our Xin Family are Xin Qianyue and Jing Yan!" Clan Chief Xin Si said.
After some rest, Xin Qianyue’s Divine Soul had recovered enough to re-enter the secret realm to kill Ghost Pattern Beasts.
"Huh?"
"What?"
"Who is representing the Xin Family? Xin Qianyue and who? Did I mishear?"
"Jing Yan? The Xin Family hired Jing Yan? How come there was no news about this? I asked people from the Xin Family earlier, and they said they hadn’t hired Jing Yan!" An uproar of astonishment arose.
Even the Xin Family members looked bewildered. They had no idea why Clan Chief Xin Si said he would send Xin Qianyue and Jing Yan. They knew Jing Yan had seen Clan Leader Xin Si a few hours ago, but when they asked about Jing Yan’s purpose, the clan chief didn’t tell them Jing Yan had been hired by the Xin Family!
Almost everyone wore a look of shock.
Especially those from the Mystic Moon Trading House, every one of them was dumbfounded! Inspector Ao Hong’s face turned green, literally. His expression was extremely strange, as if he were dumbfounded, mixed with intense anger and disbelief.
If Jing Yan represents the Xin Family in combat, then accumulating over five hundred points would be easy for the Xin Family! That means the Xin Family could surpass the Mystic Moon Trading House in points, snatching away that floating quota from them.
"Where is young friend Jing Yan?" Yuantong Immortal Venerable’s gaze slightly narrowed as he looked around and asked.
"Immortal Venerable, I am here. Sorry for being detained by some matters, luckily I’m still on time." Jing Yan’s figure flew over from afar, landing near the secret realm.
Yuantong Immortal Venerable nodded to Jing Yan, saying nothing more.
"Young friend Jing Yan, thank you for your trouble once again!" Clan Chief Xin Si cupped his hands toward Jing Yan, smiling as he spoke.
Though Jing Yan represented the Xin Family in combat, requiring the Xin Family to give Jing Yan a quota, Jing Yan also promised to give back twenty percent of the Netherworld Crystal Stones he obtained inside the Yellow Spring Cave to the Xin Family. Alternatively, the Xin Family could choose five High-grade Netherworld Crystal Stones.
Entering through a low-level entrance to the Yellow Spring Cave would only yield Low-grade and Intermediate Netherworld Crystal Stones, with Intermediate ones being relatively scarce. But entering through a High-level entrance to the Yellow Spring Cave, one might obtain Low-grade, Intermediate, and High-grade Netherworld Crystal Stones.
Low-grade Netherworld Crystal Stones are pale gray, Intermediate Netherworld Crystal Stones are pale yellow, and High-grade Netherworld Crystal Stones are pale red.
Previously, the Wuxia Heavenly Monarch gave Jing Yan five Low-grade Netherworld Crystal Stones and one Intermediate crystal stone. Up to now, Jing Yan has not used that one Intermediate pale-blue Netherworld Crystal Stone.
Even choosing five High-grade Netherworld Crystal Stones would be like gaining a bargain for the Xin Family; otherwise, they would not have obtained a quota in the third round, nor could they acquire even a single additional Low-grade Netherworld Crystal Stone. So, at this moment, Clan Chief Xin Si was very pleased.
"Clan Chief Xin Si, there’s no need to be so courteous. Being hired by the Xin Family, I should fight for the Xin Family. Rest assured, Clan Chief, I will strive to ensure the Xin Family’s total points enter the top three," Jing Yan said with a smile.
"You brat, you... you dare deceive this old man!" Inspector Ao Hong had already turned somewhat frenzied.
He no longer cared about the setting, directly voicing his anger in curses at Jing Yan.
Inspector Ao Hong initially hadn’t thought much of it, but now he fully understood what was going on. This was all infiltrated by Jing Yan’s scheming. He had already heard before that Jing Yan went to see Clan Leader Xin Si and even had someone from the Shadow Tower, Shan Duogun, convey messages to Gong Zhi Buddha. If this wasn’t Jing Yan’s intentional planning, how could it be such a coincidence?
At this moment, Inspector Ao Hong wanted to directly take action and kill Jing Yan on the spot.
Jing Yan glanced at Inspector Ao Hong and said with a cold smile, "Inspector Ao Hong, words should not be spoken carelessly. How can someone like me, a loose cultivator, deceive you? You are the inspector of the Mystic Moon Trading House in this vast region, responsible for such a large expanse!"
"Damn it! Damn you to hell!" Ao Hong’s entire body trembled with anger, his eyes bloodshot, as if he wanted to devour Jing Yan alive.
