"What's going on? Who can tell me?" Zeng Ran asked angrily with a fierce look in his eyes.
"Great Elder, this... we don't know yet. We are investigating, and the results will probably be available soon!" An elder quickly stood up and said respectfully.
"Investigation?" Zeng Ran grinded his teeth, sat back on the chair, and said with a few clicks from the corner of his eyes: "Tenth-level fairy beast! Rock-eating giant turtle, right? You know how many people were affected by this guy's sudden appearance?
Is the disciple dead?"
"Back to...back to the elder, in this first treasure hunt, so far, 12,300 people have died!" The elder quickly replied.
"Yes, that's 12,300 people! And even the final treasure was eaten by the giant rock-eating turtle. The entire first item was completely nullified!" Zeng Ran said angrily: "All of a sudden,
More than one-third of our inner sect’s disciples died in this first category, which is truly an unprecedented record!”
"Then... how about we stop doing the next two items first?" an elder asked tentatively.
"Pause?" Zeng Ran raised his eyebrows: "Why pause? Continue! Although this result is beyond my expectation, it is good. The next two items are the real test of these little guys, and... until...
When the last item is over, what’s left is truly the elite!”
"Uh..." All the elders looked at each other, and they really couldn't understand the strange character of the great elder Zeng Ran.
"Reporting to the great elder, the whole story has been found out!" At this moment, an elder dragged another elder into the elders' court.
"Oh? What's going on? Tell me!" Zeng Ran asked indifferently.
"It was this guy who carelessly calculated the time for the giant rock-swallowing turtle to wake up and failed to prepare the food for the giant rock-swallowing turtle in time. Therefore, the hungry giant rock-swallowing turtle woke up after a long period of sleep.
He started looking for food everywhere, which disrupted the treasure hunt!" The elder pointed at another guy with a fearful face and said.
"Oh? That's it..." Zeng Ran nodded, waved to the elder who made the mistake and said, "Come here, what's your name?"
"Little... my name is Su Si... Elder, please have mercy on me. Elder, please have mercy on me. I know my crime!" The elder quickly knelt down and begged for mercy, banging his head on the ground.
"Su Si...are you still a quasi-elder?" Zeng Ran rubbed his chin and continued to ask in a slow voice: "When were you promoted?"
"Back to... Sir, I entered the Presbyterian Council thirty years ago after failing the elite disciple assessment and was responsible for the maintenance of the Fairy Beast Demonic Mountain..." Su Si replied quickly.
"Oh, thirty years ago!" Zeng Ran nodded: "Do you know what the consequences were due to your negligence this time?"
"The villain knows... Please, Great Elder, please spare my life!" Su Si continued to kowtow, his whole body trembling, and the fear in his heart had reached the extreme.
"Don't be so nervous. It's nothing. I just killed tens of thousands of inner disciples!" Zeng Ran said lightly: "But... after so many disciples died, I still let you, a sinner, live. Isn't it hard to accept it?
Where is the public?"
"Master Grand Elder..." Su Si felt a sudden heat under his body, and a stream of yellow soup flowed out uncontrollably, and suddenly the entire Elder Pavilion was filled with a foul smell.
"You dare to dirty the Elder's Pavilion, and you will be punished even more!" Zeng Ran said in a calm tone, suddenly raised his hand and grabbed it, and clasped it on Su Si's heavenly spirit, and immediately a cloud of black energy surrounded him.
, kept rising up all over Su Si’s body, and all of it was sucked clean by Zeng Ran’s big hand!
If Xiao Fan were to do it again, he would definitely be shocked, because he couldn't understand the methods used by Zeng Ran.
That was the soul-eating path he had used to save his life many times!
"Ah..." Su Si let out a heart-rending cry, watching his body gradually collapse, and finally reduced to a skeleton with only thin human skin!
All the elders felt their scalps numb when they saw it, and they also felt fear deep in their hearts.
They also knew that Zeng Ran was killing the chicken to show the monkey, killing Su Si with his own hands, and using such a cruel method was clearly a warning to everyone that if they accidentally made any mistakes, they would end up like this.
!
Zeng Ran was famous for being ruthless, hiding his knife behind his smile, and would kill people whenever he was unhappy. This was even more cruel than Zeng Cuo, the cabinet elder of Immortal Palace!
The second brawl at the trade fair was held as scheduled on the second day.
Those inner disciples who were thankful that they had escaped were still in shock.
As for how they survived, Xiao Fan gave them the answer.
"When I rushed over, I saw that all the senior fellow apprentices were about to be eaten by the big turtle, so I had an idea and used some inside information about the fairy beast Demon Mountain to provoke the Ice Demon Tyrannosaurus.
This attracted the attention of the big turtle, and the two big guys started fighting. No one could do anything to the other, and everyone was saved!"
This was a lie Xiao Fan made up when he was later questioned by the elders.
However, the elders thought hard. Although there were some flaws and loopholes in Xiao Fan's words, they really couldn't think of other possibilities and had no choice but to believe it.
For this reason, Zeng Ran also went out of his way to praise Xiao Fan: he is calm in times of crisis, sharp in thinking, and calm, a rare talent!
Moreover, he also accepted Xiao Fan as a registered disciple in front of all the elders!
This incident also caused an uproar among the inner sect.
First of all, Xiao Fan saved all their lives, which was extremely shocking.
But the dignified elder of the inner sect actually accepted Xiao Fan as a registered disciple!
It was an unprecedented thing that a disciple of Mortal Immortal cultivation was favored by the Great Elder, and it also confirmed Xiao Fan's status invisibly.
Those who wanted to kill Xiao Fan quietly were gnashing their teeth in hatred, stamping their feet and beating their chests. This time their plan to assassinate Xiao Fan could only be aborted.
After all, Xiao Fan is their savior, and he is still the registered disciple of the Great Elder. Who dares to do anything against him?
But the storm came to an end the next day.
The second event of the exhibition, brawl!
This is a true fight of life and death. If you want to save your life, you must either defeat your opponent, or you can only admit defeat and die in battle!
The Death Arena at the inner gate of the Immortal Palace was specially built for this exhibition.
In normal times, it is used for disciples in the sect to fight and learn from each other, but at this time, this place is filled with a heavy aura of death.
In the huge venue that covers an area of 100,000 miles and can't be seen to the end, less than 20,000 surviving inner disciples have already taken their places.
Of the seventy-eight groups, there are now less than forty left!
No one knows how many of these people will be able to leave alive after the fighting ends.
"Okay, now the second event begins. Due to the accident in the first event, no group has points now. If you want to win this exhibition, this second event becomes particularly important. Can you survive and win?
Victory is all in your own hands, whether life or death depends on your luck and fate!" An elder stood on the death battlefield and shouted loudly.
"Similarly, for this second item, there will be no elders present to avoid problems. However, we will always pay attention to the situation in the death arena. If there is an opponent who admits defeat and wants to kill them all, the elders will take action.
Its obliteration!"
"The final way to evaluate the results is that no matter you kill or defeat any enemy, you need to take the opponent's waist card. After ten days, the evaluation will be based on the number of waist cards held by each group!"
"Now, the second item begins!"
Following the elder's order, all groups quickly retreated and distanced themselves from their surroundings.
Surrounding a stone platform in the center of the death arena were dense mountain forests and rugged valleys. Many groups got into it and disappeared immediately.
"Let's not be anxious first, wait until they are almost done fighting before we start!" Zeng Xiong stood on a tall tree, looking around vigilantly and said: "Deploy a few traps, and as long as someone steps in, we will wait and see.
Kill him!"
"Well, I also agree with this approach. After all, in terms of real strength, we are weaker than the previous groups, and there is no need to go head-to-head with them!" Xiao Fan nodded.
Moreover, Xiao Fan's physical strength is still seriously insufficient. Now he can barely act like a normal person, and he has tried his best.
With less than one-tenth of his strength, coupled with the surveillance of the elders, he also gave up the idea of sniping the inner disciples to gain some benefits.
"I suggest that it is better for everyone to spread out. Compared with a large group of us here, it is too conspicuous and can easily become the target of the other party!" Gu Xueying suggested.
"Well, in this way, we will have one hundred and eighty survivors in Freezing Point, divided into twenty groups. Each group of nine people will act alone, but don't be too spread out. The distance between each group should not exceed three miles. In this case
, no matter which group is in danger, the others will arrive in time to support!" Zeng Xiong nodded, thought for a moment and ordered: "Let's ambush and utilize this forest first!"
"Yes, this method is very good!" Xiao Fan agreed with a smile and said: "Brothers, survive!"
"Yes, Vice President!" All members of the Freezing Point Club nodded at the same time, and then split up and acted as Zeng Xiong said.
Xiao Fan also led eight people and found a favorable terrain to hide.
Xiao Fan took out a handful of elixirs from his arms and distributed them: "This is an invisibility elixir. Although it is not an advanced thing, it can help us completely hide our breath and even our heartbeat for a period of time.
Our body temperature and pulse can be concealed. As long as we don’t move, we will be no different from the nearby rocks, flowers, trees and trees!”
These elixirs were just casually refined by Xiao Fan, but there were not enough materials to give them to everyone, and they could only be used by a few of them.
Who would have thought that as soon as they took the elixir, dozens of people would come towards them...
