Chapter 593 The Peerless Top!
The eleventh of Tianjiao List, Shengxue Sect, Lu Xuan!”
The rankings showed no abnormal phenomena until the top ten on the Tianjiao List began to appear.
“The tenth of Tianjiao List, Ni Sect, Jiang Run!”
The bottom row of golden characters surfaced which were on the giant stone tablet halfway up the Shengxian Mountain.
Suddenly, it caused quite a stir!
Who was Jiang Run?!
What kind of sect was Ni Sect?
Everyone was confused. The first one of the top ten of Tianjiao List turned out to be an unknown sect. Since ancient times,
this situation had been unprecedented!
“Is Jiang Run one of those two dark horses? I think maybe Xuan Yu’er from Ciyun Building is too young to defeat him.”
When the elders of Ciyun Building heard this, they all frowned.
“I think it’s not that easy for Eldest Senior Sister Apprentice to lose. She is a disciple personally cultivated by the Grand Elder. She is the only one in our building!”
Some disciples from Ciyun Building who came to watch the battle were not convinced, “Even if she didn’t stand up to Jiang Run, she shouldn’t be kicked off the list! Eldest Senior Sister Apprentice has the treasure which was bestowed upon her by the Grand Elder. How could it be so easy for her to die?”
Before he could finish his words, he saw that the handwriting of the ninth on the Tianjiao List began to appear.
“The ninth of Tianjiao List, Ciyun Building, Xuan Yu’er.”
The elders relaxed instantly and smiled. The elder with the highest status of the group sighed inwardly,
“The Grand Elder made the right decision!”
…
“I felt something wrong.”
In the attic which was rented by Fenglei Holy Sect and Shengxue Sect, Elder Zhang He was anxious and doubtful, “Elder Lu, I think the number of people of Tianjiao List is wrong.”
This time, Lu Lin, Third Elder of Shengxue Sect did not correct Zhang He’s appellation to him. Instead, he nodded and said in a deep voice, “There are another two people. There are still eight vacancies left on the Tianjiao List. But the top holy sects will occupy five of them. In addition, there are twelve people including Zhao Qianyuan from Han Sect, Fang Lan from Shengbei Holy Sect, Luo Hong from Xiuluo Holy Sect, Zhou Linfeng from Void Sword Sect, Ban Qian from our sect and those two people who are already published.”
A trace of worry unconsciously appeared on Zhang He’s face. There was only one possibility if there were extra people.
Among these twelve people, some of them should have been dead!
Thinking of this, Zhang He felt tensed. The next ranking is about to be announced. Ban Qian…was unlikely to get a higher ranking with his strength. If…if…
Zhang He didn’t dare to think anymore.
“The eighth of Tianjiao List…”
Zhang He raised his head and stared at the rankings, holding his breath.
“Fenglei Holy Sect, Ban Qian!”
Zhang He breathed a long sigh of relief and his complexion turned from pale to ruddy. Lu Lin smiled and patted him on his shoulder, “Congratulations, Fenglei Holy Sect is really worthy of its reputation.”
Zhang He nodded, “This kid, Bang Qian did a good job.”
Something must happen in these battles of Shengxian Mountain. It was a surprise that Ban Qian got the eighth place. He remembered that when they were selecting the holy boy, he voted against Ban Qian. Then he got into a very complicated mood.
“Perhaps in the future, I should have a good att.i.tude towards him. Ban Qian is the rare one among the holy boys who is approachable.”
Zhang He changed his thought. The tense atmosphere in the attic disappeared.
Lu Lin stroked his beard and chuckled gloatingly, “Next, the death of the holy boy of any holy sect will cause quite a stir.”
“I don’t care about that.”
Zhang He also laughed and cursed in a low voice, “A group of short-sighted people. You will die if you follow Fate Ancestor!”
Lu Lin nodded in agreement.
Shengxue Sect and Fenglei Holy Sect found something wrong. So did the other sects. The atmosphere became much tighter than before.
Whose holy boy died?
As the pract.i.tioners were discussing fiercely in the streets, the rankings of Tianjiao List continued to appear.
“The seventh of Tianjiao List, Void Sword Sect, Zhou Linfeng!”
The elder of Void Sword Sect
let out a long sigh of relief. He insisted that Zhou Linfeng should be the holy boy. If Zhou Linfeng really died, he wouldn’t be the elder as well.
Fortunately, Zhou Linfeng did not die but got the seventh place in Tianjiao List.
Very good!
“The sixth of Tianjiao List, Huangxing Hall, Yin Xuetong!”
This line of handwriting appeared, and the crowd suddenly burst into more heated discussions than before. They felt something wrong as well.
“How is it possible that the top holy sect only got the sixth? What happened to the Tianjiao Battle this year?”
“I think Su Jiuzhou has occupied a place, so that the top holy sect slides?!”
“Impossible. No matter how powerful Su Jiuzhou is, she can’t defeat Lord of Evil who masters the Will of Sword!”
“…”
“Ha, ha, ha…”
Zhang He laughed out loud, “I knew that the top holy sect was going to be unlucky. Those rankings have problems.”
Lu Lin smiled without saying a word. Then he continued to look on.
“The fifth of Tianjiao List, Ankui Valley, Qu Qingning!”
“The fourth of Tianjiao List, Tianhe Sect, Fang Mu!”
The elders of Ankui Valley and Huangxing Hall frowned in confusion. Why did they all fall from the top three?
“How could Mu be the fourth with his laid-back personality?”
The elder of Tianhe Sect widened his eyes in surprise. He had originally imagined that with that kid’s lazy nature, he could be ranked the tenth at the very outside.
“Could it be that after Yuan disappeared, Mu became sensible?”
The elder of Tianhe Sect remembered Fang Mu had resisted the position of the holy boy. Then tears flickered in his eyes.
He felt delighted!
He picked up the tea cup on the table and looked at the Tianjiao List happily. Although he felt upset when he thought that two people of Shengtian Shrine would occupy two places of the top three of Tianjiao List, it…
The top three of Tianjiao List began to appear.
“Puff!”
He didn’t have a sip of the tea, and he spat it all out.
The elder of Tianhe Sect stared at the Tianjiao List blankly with his hands trembling violently. He didn’t even notice that the tea was all poured on his clothes.
“Now…something big will happen!!!”
…
“The third of Tianjiao List, Ni Sect, Yan Ziye!!”
“The second of Tianjiao List, Ni Sect, Ling Qinglan!!”
“The first of Tianjiao List, Ni Sect, Su Jiuzhou!! Peerless top!”
The top three of Tianjiao List appeared in the same time. These three talents belonged to the same sect. Those names of them stunned all of the people.
It seemed that the time of Shengxian City stopped suddenly. The hustle and bustle disappeared out of a sudden. Then the dead silence came.
This dead silence lasted for a long time. Someone laughed and awakened all the petrified people.
“My goodness! Senior Fellow Apprentice, what happened? Am I dreaming?!”
“It seems like a dream. Junior fellow apprentice, pinch me!”
“Ah—”
Everyone seemed to be crazy!
In the rooms of the attic rented by Shengtian Shrine, the elder sank into his seat. Then he suddenly sat up and sent a carrier rune.
“The Lord of Evil and the holy girl are both missing! The Tianjiao List changed a lot. Come here quickly!”
All the other sects whose holy girls and holy boys disappeared had the same actions with the elder of Shengtian Shrine.
Zhang He and Lu Lin stared blankly at the Tianjiao List. Their expressions were surprisingly similar.
After a long time, Zhang He came to his senses and gave a bitter smile, “Something unusual will happen in Qingshui Circle.”
Light flashed through Lu Xuan’s eyes. He said, “Let’s go back to Tianyake Attic to find Ban Qian and Lu Xuan and leave Shengxian City quickly!”
…
At Tianyake Attic, Xie Wei lighted an incense stick. Before he could finish his wors.h.i.+p, he saw Xiao Si rus.h.i.+ng in in a panic.
“Head, there is something wrong!”
“The people in Shengtian Shrine are gone!”
“Ni Sect occupies the top three. No! They occupy four places of the top ten. That drives everyone in the Shengxian City mad!”
Clank—
The incense burner fell onto the floor from the altar. Xie Wei almost blacked out when he heard this. He waved his sleeve and threw the burning incense far away.
It was no use praying to Buddha for help!
When Xie Wei arrived there and saw the dazzling golden light of the top three, his face grew black as a thunder cloud. The situation was much more worse than what Xiao Si said!
The two big troubles of the Shengtian Shrine were gone. However, where was Zhao Qianyuan of Han Sect? Where was Fang Lan of Shenbei Holy Sect? Where was Luo Hong of Xiuluo Holy Sect?
Five holy boys and holy girls disappeared!
Xie Wei’s face suddenly turned pale, “Xiao Si, let’s go back to the headquarters of Tianyake Attic now!”
He must leave here before the arrival of these holy sects. Otherwise…the group of angry old foxes would peel off his skin!
“Huh? There is still a lot of intelligence in Tianyake Attic…”
“Don’t pack up your d.a.m.n things. I take the important thing. Go!”
…
Su Li and the others were teleported to Chunting Court where they lived but not the foot of Shengxian Mountain.
“Lord Jiuzhou, why do I become one of Ni Sect?”
Jiang Run scratched his head and asked. Su Li smiled slightly, “Next, the holy sects’ revenge is bound to be fierce. Are you sure you still want to use the name of Jiguang Sect?”
Jiang Run’s expression changed instantly.
“It should be heated discussions outside, right?”
Yan Ziye smiled radiantly, “Cool! After those years’ eating humble pie, I can finally swagger before others!”
Ling Qinglan saw his smug look and then he shook his head.
He thought Yan Ziye was immodest.
“Qinglan, have you gotten in touch with them?”
Light flashed through Su Li’s eyes. She thought her plan was foolproof, but she couldn’t guarantee that any accident would not happen.
Ling Qinglan saw her unusual tense expression. He finally found she was worrying about something. Surprisingly, he felt happy about that and he nodded,
“Some of them also sneaked into Shengxian City. They contacted me as soon as they got the news. They…are more anxious than we are.”
Light flashed through Su Li’s eyes. She walked to the door, and her hands clasped behind her back. She looked at the still dark sky outside.
“So…very good. Next, resume our plan. All of you…leave here right now!”
Huo s.h.i.+chun didn’t know that plan. He was taken aback and asked, “Should we also leave here?”
“Elder Huo, you only have to follow us.”
Yan Ziye smiled and patted him on his shoulder, “Honored Master is the elder of the holy land. We are naturally a family, aren’t we?”
Huo s.h.i.+chun showed a forced smile.
Su Jiuzhou even schemed the holy land. He was only the elder of Jiguang Sect and he couldn’t change anything.
“Great, I will tell my father when I go back. He must be very happy!”
Xuan An had a look of excitement. Over the years, Linli Building had been hiding everywhere. It was such a shame. Now they had a backer who was nice to him. It seemed that he realized his dream.
“The flying shuttle is ready.”
Dongfang Wuxue walked in from outside and said with a quizzical look, “I just pa.s.sed the front door of the attic and wanted to bid farewell, but I didn’t see Xie Wei and Xiao Si.”
