Chapter 294

~12 min read 2,248 words

The Palace Examination ranking list was soon leaked.

Meng Kui, Zhu Xuanji, and others could not stop it at all, nor could they forbid it.

The source of the leak came from rogue cultivators.

Once such explosive news spread, it immediately sparked widespread heated discussion in the Molten Xian Gong and Fire Persimmon Immortal City.

Even with the threat of the demonic beast tide, the attention of countless people was attracted by this news!

"After the Palace Examination, the Palace Master of the Molten Xian Gong should be decided, right?"

"Once the Molten Xian Gong has a Palace Master, it can unleash its full power and easily eliminate the demonic beast tide, right?"

"Speaking of which, the Three Sects Masters are truly compassionate. The palace they set up is going to save Fire Persimmon Mountain again. And the number of times the Molten Xian Gong has done this in the past years is countless!"

Seeing Fei Si was gritting his teeth.

He stared at the Entry Standard in the intelligence, feeling a bright mockery.

"Empty Gate, Sun Lingtong!" He secretly remembered this grudge.

Seeing Fei Si relied on his own strategy and was proud of it; there were very few experiences of being played so nakedly.

Therefore, every such experience left a deep impression on him, even engraved in his heart.

Subsequently, he discovered Unlike Ning Zhuo's ranking, which was even ahead of Meng Chong's.

This made Seeing Fei Si's mouth curl slightly: "This ambitious kid has really stolen the show this time."

"You better be careful."

Regarding Unlike Ning Zhuo, Seeing Fei Si clearly had more empathy.

Ning Xiaoren threw the intelligence on the ground and roared angrily: "Bah! This cunning and insidious little brat actually mixed into the final Palace Examination list."

"Why didn't I think of eliminating this disaster at that time?"

Ning Xiaoren had already offered the improved talisman through his father's plan, came out of the dungeon, and obtained his freedom.

On the surface, he had been expelled from the family by the Ning family and became a wandering cultivator.

According to the guidance of the Ning family head, Ning Xiaoren also entered the Molten Xian Gong, tried hard to get close to Unlike Ning Zhuo, and tried his best to win the latter's forgiveness.

But he did not succeed; Unlike Ning Zhuo didn't even look at him.

This made Ning Xiaoren feel a great humiliation, and his hatred for Unlike Ning Zhuo became even stronger.

Ning family ancestral land.

Ning Xiaohui's grandmother was so angry that she wanted to tear up the intelligence in her hand.

Her face was twisted, and she roared with all her might: "Xiaohui, where is my Xiaohui? What kind of thing is Unlike Ning Zhuo? Is he worthy of being on the ranking list? Since he is there, it is impossible for Xiaohui not to be."

"Xiaohui must be ranked ahead of him."

Ning Xiaohui's grandmother stuck the intelligence to her face, her eyeballs only a fingernail's distance from the paper.

She looked hard, reading word by word, but never found it.

She roared angrily, tore up the intelligence in her hand, and hissed like a poisonous snake: "Fake, fake, this intelligence is fake!"

"Hehehe, hahahaha!"

Molten Xian Gong, main hall.

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit was even weaker.

Because it secretly interfered with the normal operation of the Molten Xian Gong and used the demonic beast tide to destroy a core mechanical building in the Molten Xian Gong, it suffered another fire blade decapitation.

Severely damaged for the second time, the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit's condition at this moment was less than 50% compared to its peak period.

In the entire Palace Examination ranking list, it only paid attention to three people.

One is Zhu Xuanji, after all, he is the first, from the South Bean Royal Family, and knows many secrets of the Molten Xian Gong.

One is Meng Chong. The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit had hoped from beginning to end that he would inherit the Molten Xian Gong.

The last one is Unlike Ning Zhuo.

"How did Unlike Ning Zhuo feel that the Palace Examination was about to unfold?"

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit had too many things to pay attention to, especially at the moment, the demonic beast tide was where it needed to keep its attention more.

Therefore, in recent times, it had neglected Unlike Ning Zhuo.

However, it witnessed with its own eyes the scene where Unlike Ning Zhuo brazenly offered the Buddha Heart Demon Seal.

Such determination and decisiveness made the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit feel a chill all over its body, and cold air suddenly arose.

Facing this little monster Unlike Ning Zhuo, it felt more and more afraid.

"Must not let him obtain the position of Palace Master."

"Otherwise, if I can't escape, how will I live in the future?!"

People began to guess, who will be the winner of the final Palace Examination? Who can laugh last and finally seize the Molten Xian Gong.

The recognized first place for most is Zhu Xuanji. He is ranked first, represents the South Bean Royal Family, is famous throughout the country, and has superb strength.

The public generally believes that the City Lord's side is too weak. Just looking at the ranking list, there are only Meng Chong and some Qi Refining juniors. But those who are truly in the know understand that the Meng family's main force is in the second echelon, eyeing the top three and ready to go.

The heated discussion had just started when the first eliminated person appeared.

To be precise, on the afternoon the list was announced, his body was discovered.

This was an assassination.

The heart of the body was destroyed, and the soul disappeared without a trace.

This immediately reminded people of Zheng Jian, just the same way of death.

Thus, a black pot was placed on Yang Chanyu's head!

"Someone is disguising as me and starting to eliminate competitors. Hmph!" Being framed made Yang Chanyu feel quite unhappy.

But she did not take action, but hid deeper together with Sun Lingtong.

They are in a dangerous situation now; once they show their heads, they will inevitably be besieged.

In the past, Yang Chanyu was still the point of concentrated attack. But once the "Entry Standard" came out, the degree of hatred Sun Lingtong attracted was even deeper than Yang Chanyu's.

Now with this public opinion, the public believes that the top of the Palace Examination will become the master of the Xian Gong.

A large number of cultivators were jealous. Even if they were not on the list, they were thinking with a fluke mentality, if they killed the people on the list, could they obtain the list?

Such an opportunity might only happen once in a lifetime. So there are many people who take risks and gamble big!

Unlike Ning Zhuo had already gambled; he bet his righteous path future, name, life, and even the Buddha Heart Demon Seal.

"Once the Palace Examination comes out, it will be difficult for me to find an opportunity to build a foundation in a short time." Unlike Ning Zhuo sighed.

As soon as he knew the list, he ran to Ning Jiufan's side.

"Old Ancestor, it's too scary. I am also a member of the list, I am so afraid, so afraid of being killed." Unlike Ning Zhuo did not hide his intention to seek protection.

Ning Jiufan scolded him for having no backbone, but still took him along.

Not only Unlike Ning Zhuo, but Ning Chen, Ning Yong, and several others were also on the list, so they were also taken by Ning Jiufan to his side for protection.

Not long after, Zhu Xuanji gathered everyone in one place.

Unlike Ning Zhuo discovered that not only Ning Jiufan, but the Jin Dan ancestors of the Zhou and Zheng families were also taking their Qi Refining juniors with them for real-time protection when they were in action.

After all, they only have Qi Refining cultivation, their strength is too weak, and it is difficult to protect themselves.

In the past, it was Sun Lingtong and Yang Chanyu of the Empty Gate who might have committed the dirty work, but now that the Palace Examination list is out, well, righteous cultivators might also become murderers!

Zhu Xuanji considered this point, gathered everyone again, unified the front, and agreed to cooperate as much as possible, rather than consuming each other internally in the early stage.

His proposal was immediately recognized and agreed to by the Jin Dan cultivators of the three families.

Zhu Xuanji also took care of them: if possible, try to collect the fragments and pieces of the golden furnace and bring them back.

He never let go of this key clue.

It's just that in the past, the golden furnace was extremely difficult to approach, as it was a restricted area of the Xian Gong. Even trial disciples were the same.

But now, the Red Flame demonic beast tide covers the outer circle of the Xian Gong, and the offensive against the inner circle continues at all times.

If the demonic beast tide affects the golden furnace area, then the defensive restrictions of the Molten Xian Gong will inevitably be relaxed, allowing cultivators to approach.

"These broken bricks of the golden furnace all have the value of tracing the source." This was Zhu Xuanji's original words.

Unlike Ning Zhuo was on the spot, heard it in his ears, and felt in his heart how difficult this Divine Catcher was. At this step of the Palace Examination, he was still thinking about what clues.

"He might be pinning his hopes on these clues to find Yang Chanyu and Boss Sun."

"If this scene really appears in the future, I still have to use the Five Elements Cannon Tower to wash the ground." Unlike Ning Zhuo secretly warned himself.

The Palace Examination came faster than everyone expected.

The teleportation light circle and a piece of information appeared at the same time—

The first round of the Palace Examination begins.

Please step into the light circle, no waiting after the time, it will be regarded as giving up.

Everyone did not hesitate and stepped directly into the light circle.

The next moment, they came to a huge square.

In the square, tables and cushions were placed.

On each table were piled more than a dozen jade slips.

Each cultivator was arranged in front of a table.

They looked at each other and then at the table in front of them. Some impatient ones sat directly on the cushions.

New information was conveyed, and everyone knew: this is the first round of the Palace Examination, adopting the method of answering questions to obtain examination results.

According to the specific examination results, the ranking list is adjusted.

The last ten on the list will be eliminated.

Attacking others on the way, those who plot and scheme, those who attempt to cheat, are out!

In an instant, everyone became nervous.

Unlike Ning Zhuo was especially so.

After all, his current ranking is the last one.

"Hey, can you do it?" Yang Chanyu shouted to Sun Lingtong, "You are the last one."

Her shout immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Sure enough!" In an instant, everyone verified their guess.

Meng Chong glared at Sun Lingtong even more; it was this little demon cultivator who played with him!

Sun Lingtong was full of worry about Unlike Ning Zhuo in his heart, never looking in Unlike Ning Zhuo's direction, laughing in his mouth, carefree, expressing abundant self-confidence.

The Palace Examination officially began.

Unlike Ning Zhuo's heartbeat accelerated slightly, and he quickly took a jade slip and stuck it on his brow to check.

There were many questions, and he needed to engrave the jade slips one by one with his spiritual sense, leaving answers.

Unlike Ning Zhuo's eyebrows twitched, and his mood soared.

Question 1: "Mirror combines yin and yang, observing the inside and outside." The "Mirror Platform Psychic Art" uses mirrors to observe things; how can it combine yin and yang and see through the truth and falsehood of things? Please combine the changes of yin and yang to expound the way of the Mirror Platform Psychic Art.

Question 2: "Those who dye tendons, bones are also strong." The "Demon Dyeing Blood Tendon Art" has a method of dyeing tendons and bones with blood; how can it make tendons and bones equally strong and double the strength? Please combine the relationship between tendons and bones to discuss its effect on practitioners.

Question 3: There is one strand of each of the five elements of magic power in the Five Elements Turning Spirit Disk. How many ways are there to make a cultivator leave two strands of water and wood magic power after offsetting three fire magic spells?

Everyone: "The Demon Dyeing Blood Tendon Art is indeed one of the Three Sects Superior Arts, but the content of the fifth layer of Qi Refining does not involve the level of dyeing tendons and bones at all?"

"Also, what the hell is the Five Elements Turning Spirit Disk?"

"What is the 'Mirror Platform Psychic Art'? It looks like one of the Three Sects Superior Arts too! But I haven't seen it at all!"

"Finished, finished!"

"Don't panic, stay calm. I can't do it, others can't do it either!"

"Yes, yes, yes, everyone can't do it, the final ranking will not change much. It won't!"
