Chapter 1749 Contempt and Questioning
"hiss!"
Everyone was talking heatedly, and the corners of their eyes were twitching wildly in shock.
Meeting such a genius, it is not an injustice that Yuan Rui, who was ranked eighth in the Tianluo Sect, was eliminated.
Everyone shook their heads and sighed, and couldn't help but feel sorry for Yuan Rui.
"By the way! Where's Shi Tiannong, who is ranked ninth in the Tianluo Sect? Who was he eliminated by?" Someone's eyes twitched and he quickly asked.
As soon as he finished speaking, the tall middle-aged man in green robe raised his eyebrows, suddenly showing a bit of embarrassment, and there was obviously a trace of hesitation in his eyes.
However, the more this happened, the more it aroused everyone's curiosity.
"Who is it?"
"Say it quickly!" Everyone couldn't wait to ask attentively.
"Ahem! I'm afraid you won't believe me if I tell you. Shi Tiannong was eliminated by a disciple named Pang Ning." The middle-aged man in green robe frowned and spoke in a deep voice, then immediately stopped talking as if he didn't want to say more.
But when everyone heard this, they felt a little strange!
"Who? Pang Ning!"
"Who is Pang Ning?"
"Is he a genius from Jin Yuanzong?"
"No! I basically know everyone from Jin Yuanzong, but there seems to be no such person!"
"Could he be...a genius disciple from the three great families in Cangjing?"
"Are you kidding me? Is there anyone named Pang from the three great families in Cangjing? Huh!" Someone said coldly, causing the crowd to burst into laughter, making that person very embarrassed.
"Brother, you haven't told me yet, who is this Pang Ning?"
Seeing that everyone kept asking questions, the middle-aged man in Qingpao could only frown and sigh, and reluctantly told the truth.
"Ahem! This Pang Ning...well, he is a disciple of the Cangyun Sect." The middle-aged man in green robe said hesitantly and vaguely.
Although his speech was deliberately a bit awkward, these warriors with sharp ears and eyes could still understand him at such a close distance.
"What? Cangyun Sect!"
"Damn it! Is there a mistake?"
"That disciple of the rubbish sect can also eliminate the ninth genius of the Tianluo sect?"
"Pang Ning? Who is Pang Ning? What kind of figure is he?"
The crowd couldn't stop shouting for a while, all showing disdain, and silently feeling sorry for Shi Tiannong in their hearts.
How could a talented disciple of the Tianluo Sect, the ninth-ranked figure in the sect, lose to a little-known disciple of the Cangyun Sect?
Everyone found it a bit incredible, even unbelievable.
"That's unreasonable! It's a pity that I missed that competition. I wonder what happened?"
"Hmph! No matter what happened to him, I think that Pang Ning... there is no way he has that kind of strength!"
"Yes! He must be opportunistic or conspiracy to win!"
"That's right! That must be the case!"
Everyone gritted their teeth and rebuked him. Due to their negative impression of Cangyun Sect's decline, they almost unanimously disliked the disciples of this sect. Naturally, they did not think that Pang Ning's strength was really that strong.
"Oh! Calm down! I happened to watch that competition a few more times. Although it was not easy for Pang Ning to win, he does have some strength. It is undisputed!"
At the edge of the viewing platform, an old man in gray robes who was sitting closer shook his head and sighed, and said in a depressed tone.
"What? You saw it!"
"Hmph! You are so dim-sighted, are you seeing that right?"
"Haha, I think he doesn't even know who Pang Ning is. Is he just talking nonsense?"
Under the control of preconceived ideas, everyone was unwilling to believe or accept what the old man in gray robe said, and they laughed for a while.
"..." The old man in gray robe kindly answered, but when he received such a response, he suddenly frowned and stared, speechless.
"A bunch of idiots!"
After cursing secretly, the gray-robed old man turned his head and ignored these irrational guys.
However, those people seemed to still have unfinished business and kept laughing.
"Haha, I didn't expect that someone from the Cangyun Sect would also enter the final exam. It really opened my eyes!"
"Have you forgotten that there is another person from the Cangyun Sect who has also entered the final trial?"
"who?"
"What's his name...Jiang...Jiang Tian! Yes, that's him!"
"Jiang Tian? Why don't I have any impression?" Many people only paid attention to the competition between Tianluo Sect's genius disciples and basically did not pay attention to other people. At this time, they couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"Haha, it's that disciple of Cangyun Sect who is in the middle stage of Xuanyue Realm!" the middle-aged man in green robe in the crowd said coldly.
"What? What did you say?"
"Middle stage of Xuanyue Realm!"
"Isn't this boasting a bit too much?"
Everyone felt as if they had been stabbed in the butt, and suddenly became restless and couldn't believe it at all.
"Hmph! The follow-up list will be announced soon. Do I need to lie to you? Okay, stop talking nonsense and keep listening!"
The middle-aged man in green robe was also a little annoyed. He snorted coldly and stopped paying attention to everyone with a sullen face.
In desperation, they had to gradually stop talking and once again turned their attention to the high platform in front of the central viewing area.
"Quiet! Everyone, be quiet!" The silver-robed elder looked at the list in his hand, paused for a moment, and waved his hand.
The square gradually became quiet, and he continued to read.
"The promoted disciples of Jin Yuanzong are as follows..."
The words containing spiritual power spread out and slowly floated into everyone's ears.
There are five promoted disciples of Jin Yuanzong:
They are Yu Chen, the leader of the younger generation in the sect;
Kong Huai, the second person of the younger generation;
Qiu Jun ranked fifth;
Di Yujiao ranked seventh;
Zong Hao ranked eighth.
After the Jin Yuan Sect's list was read out, there was a small heated discussion in the square. However, compared with the previous announcement of the Tian Luo Sect's disciple list, the reaction was much worse.
After all, Tianluo Sect has eight people promoted, and Jin Yuanzong, although not too few, only has five people. It seems like the difference is only three people, but it means a very obvious gap!
"How come Jin Yuanzong only has five people promoted?"
"Yes! This is quite different from what I expected!"
"Who are the five people eliminated?"
Everyone frowned slightly, with depressed expressions on their faces. Some people even felt very sorry and were a little disappointed with the result.
In their opinion, even though Jin Yuan Sect's overall strength is slightly inferior, it shouldn't be much worse than Tian Luo Sect.
But after the list was announced, everyone obviously realized that Jin Yuanzong's strength did not seem to be as strong as they had always imagined.
Due to the large number of disciples who participated in the examination, everyone could not remember clearly who the eliminated disciples were after each round of competition. When they heard the list, they couldn't help but feel depressed and confused.
Among the crowd on the right side of the viewing platform, a young man wearing a white robe and holding a white folding fan shook his head and smiled, showing a somewhat elegant and suave attitude.
"Haha, with the overall strength of Jin Yuanzong, it is normal to eliminate five people. Having five people enter the final test is already a good result!"
"oh?"
"Brother, do you know who the five eliminated people are and what the situation is?"
"Tell us quickly!"
