Wei Chi Cheng exclaimed excitedly, “Hahaha, Xiao Zhan, why is it again one of your Great Qi Kingdom's disciples? How many trash has your Great Qi Kingdom sent over to participate in the initial test this time?”
“Lord Wei Chi, no need to rush. I can tell you, at least half of the trash from the Great Qi Kingdom hasn’t been eliminated yet. There will be quite a few more to come,” replied Ling Zhong from the Ghost Immortal Sect, laughing proudly.
Bai Jing and Huang Zhan asked, “What on earth is happening?”
Ignoring their mockery, Xiao Zhan was treating the injured while inquiring, “Who is it?”
“Master Xiao Zhan, it’s Nian Wuji from the Ghost Immortal Sect and Prince Cao Heng from the Great Wei Kingdom,” Bai Jing said anxiously, briefly explaining their situation. “Now, Princess Zi Xun and Qin Chen are still trapped inside.”
“What?” Xiao Zhan’s expression changed dramatically.
“Nian Wuji and Cao Heng?”
Nian Wuji was one of the few geniuses among this year's disciples who had broken through to the mid-Heaven Level. With Zi Xun’s cultivation, she could have easily passed the initial test if she hadn’t encountered Nian Wuji. Unexpectedly, she ran into him.
What made Xiao Zhan even angrier was that Nian Wuji actually had a formation that could seal space.
“Ling Zhong, Wei Chi Cheng, how can your two major powers’ disciples bring a spatial sealing formation into the initial test site? What are you planning? Do you intend to capture all the geniuses from our various powers in one fell swoop?” Xiao Zhan shouted angrily, glaring at the two with flames of rage in his eyes.
In fair competition, even if disciples were killed, Xiao Zhan wouldn’t say anything. However, the opponent’s use of such despicable methods was clearly not allowing the disciples from the Great Qi Kingdom any chance of survival.
“So Nian Wuji actually has a flag that can seal space? What is going on here?”
“If that’s the case, there’s absolutely no chance of survival when encountering their disciples.”
“Is this even real?”
In an instant, the crowd was in an uproar, all buzzing with excitement.
This wasn’t just a matter for the Great Qi Kingdom; it concerned every power present.
After all, Nian Wuji could use that flag to encircle and kill the disciples of the Great Qi Kingdom, and he could just as easily do the same to theirs.
On the side of the Great Liang Kingdom, Wei Tianming’s expression darkened. “Ling Zhong, what is going on here?”
“Everyone, this is just Nian Wuji’s own behavior and has nothing to do with my Ghost Immortal Sect!” Ling Zhong shook his head.
“Nothing to do with your Ghost Immortal Sect? How could that little brat Nian Wuji obtain such a flag?” Xiao Zhan shouted angrily, clearly indicating that it was the Ghost Immortal Sect’s doing, yet still trying to argue.
“This, I don’t know. Perhaps the Young Sect Master obtained the formation from some ruins. Moreover, is there any restriction against using spatial flags in the rules of the initial test? Since there is no prohibition, why should you all criticize?” Ling Zhong said.
Everyone fell silent, exchanging glances.
Indeed, there was no mention of prohibiting the use of formations in the rules of the initial test. After all, formations were also a part of a martial artist's strength. However, the prohibition against a martial artist using a transmission formation was something others couldn’t tolerate.
On this point, no one had the right to criticize.
“Hmph.”
With a cold grunt, Xiao Zhan turned to stare at the teleportation platform, his eyes filled with worry.
According to Bai Jing and the others, Qin Chen had already destroyed the formation. Under normal circumstances, if Zi Xun couldn’t handle it, she would surely teleport out.
However, so far, it had been nearly half a stick of incense since Bai Jing and the others had escaped, and Zi Xun and Qin Chen still hadn’t appeared, causing him to feel uneasy.
“No need to wait any longer. If those two haven't come out by now, they must have died inside. Tsk tsk, these are two geniuses entering the Blood Spirit Pool for baptism! One of them is reportedly a princess from the Great Qi Kingdom. It’s truly heartbreaking,” Wei Chi Cheng pretended to say, feeling extremely pleased when he saw Xiao Zhan’s worried expression.
