Chapter 1045: The Secret of the Abyss (Fourth Update)
Seeing that he was ignored in public, Sikong Shuo's eyes were cold.
Just look at him and said coldly: "What? Don't you want to continue the assessment?"
However, after asking three times in a row, no one answered, and the anger in Sikong Shuo's heart was even stronger.
It's just that in the end, he still restrained his anger and mocked: "I advise you not to wait, Yang Xiao can't come back, if you continue to cling, it will only delay your future!"
"Linglong, let's go in first!" Xiao Lingfeng took Xue Linglong's hand and said in a low voice.
Yang Xiao is not here, and now he has become the backbone of this team.
"You guys go in first!I'll keep waiting, I'll talk to him!" Xue Linglong shook her head expressionlessly.
"That being the case, we will wait with you. Xiao Lingfeng smiled slightly.
"That's right, we'll wait with you!" Huang Wuji and the others responded, completely ignoring Sikong Shuo.
"Hmph, you wait for me!" On the lonely city, Sikong Shuo gritted his teeth angrily.
But at this moment, everyone felt that the earth suddenly trembled.
"Huh, what's the situation?"
Some people seem to be aware of this, but others are not.
After another ten breaths or so, the earth trembled again.
This time, everyone finally felt it.
And just when everyone looked at each other, not knowing what was happening, they heard a loud noise suddenly come out of the abyss.
The sound was like something whimpering, and it was like something whistling. It's as if beneath this abyss, some ancient beast has come back to life.
And with this sound, a palpitating breath spread out from under the abyss.
The martial cultivators who were next to the edge of the cliff felt this aura, and they all had a chilling feeling.
"Division...... Sikong Lord, what's going on?" someone felt inexplicable palpitations, and hugged his fist at Sikong Shuo above the lonely city.
However, at this moment, Sikong Shuo was also confused.
Because, even he didn't understand what was going on.
And at the same time, in the entire Heavenly King Palace, everyone's ears inexplicably sounded a strange sound like a whimper, and like a whistle.
"Huh, where did the sound come from?"
One by one, the retreating powerhouses opened their eyes one after another, scanning the surroundings with their divine thoughts.
It's just that everything seems to be so peaceful as far as their minds can reach, and nothing abnormal happens.
However, in the core area of the Heavenly King Palace, among the immortal mountains surrounded by clouds and mist, there were several old monsters who had lived for thousands of years, and suddenly opened their eyes.
In a cave, an old man with flowing silver hair slowly stood up and turned his gaze in the direction where the voice came from.
There was silence for a moment, and then he called out, "Someone!"
"I've seen the Ancestor!" a young powerhouse stepped into the cave.
Although this young powerhouse had already reached the realm of Wanli Hou, in front of this elder, he was extremely deferential.
Because, the silver-haired old man standing in front of him had already reached the extreme of the Heavenly King Realm. That strength is not at all something he can compare with and contend with.
"What day is today?" asked the silver-haired old man.
"Back to the Ancestor, today is the third assessment of the once-in-a-decade admissions assessment!" replied cautiously as the young powerhouse replied.
"Heh, it's been ten years again, time is so fast!" the silver-haired old man smiled slightly when he heard this, with a hint of amazement and sigh in his smile.
And at this moment, the strange sound became more and more intense.
If just now, it sounded like a breeze in this cave, then now, it smells like a strong wind.
The silver-haired old man came back to his senses and said, "Is this voice coming from the examination room?"
"Return, Ancestor, exactly!" the strong man nodded.
"Do you know what that sound means?" the old man asked rhetorically.
"I've heard of it, but it's just ......," the young strong man stopped talking.
"But what?" the old man looked at him.
"It's just...... It feels too incredible!" The young strong man's face also showed curiosity and incomprehension.
"Hehe, since you think it's incredible, let's take a look!"
After that, just look at the silver-haired old man casually pointing, a picture suddenly appeared on a wall of the cave, and this picture was nothing else, it was the situation in the examination room.
Although, for ordinary people, if they are not the main examiner, they will not be able to spy on the situation in the examination room at all.
However, the identity of this silver-haired old man is too detached, and the authority and means he has are not something ordinary people can imagine.
"Well, it's really from there!" look at the old man, with one hand behind his back, the other with his silver hair, with an elusive look on his face.
As for the young powerhouse, there was endless shock on his face.
And at this moment, the palace where Shangguan Yue was was already crowded with people.
Everyone's eyes were staring at the miniature map in Shangguan Yue's hand.
As for Shangguan Yue, at this moment, he was standing with a loveless expression.
Finally, it was his turn to be the main examiner.
But who expected, suddenly, this shocking and strange sound came out of the examination room.
Just when he felt a little inexplicable, some of the senior powerhouses in the Heavenly King Hall rushed in one after another.
Some of these people are from merchants, and some are from other families. Whether it is their qualifications, seniority, or even status, they are incomparable to Shangguan Yue.
Especially those who are in the family, they have always been at odds with the merchants.
And the Shangguan family, as a vassal of the merchants, naturally they will not give Shangguan Yue a good look.
Although the business is strong, this is not a battlefield after all, so everyone is still harmonious on the surface.
As a result, Shangguan Yue went from a big examiner to a waiter in an instant, standing beside this group of heavenly powerhouses, and he didn't dare to come out, which made him almost collapse in his heart.
"Is this voice really coming from that abyss?" asked a black-clothed marquis staring at the miniature map.
"There's no mistake! that's where it comes from!" a white-clothed marquis nodded.
"If I'm not mistaken, the last time the abyss made a loud noise should have been forty years ago, when the Nine Shadows Young Master participated in the assessment!" said a Tsing Yi Tianhou.
"That's right, that's it!" said the white-clothed Tianhou, "Moreover, it was because of that time that we knew a secret in this examination room, wasn't it!"
"Uh...... Secrets? Dare to ask...... What's the secret?"
On the side, Shangguan Yue's face showed a puzzled look, and he asked cautiously in a low voice.
"What's the matter, as the chief examiner, don't you even know about this matter?" When the Tianhou heard this, they all cast disdainful glances at Shangguan Yue.
"This ...... Under the seniority, he is young, and he can't compare to the seniors...... "Shangguan was more frightened.
In front of this group of people, that's nothing!
"Forget it, don't embarrass him!" Seeing that the white-clothed Tianhou waved his hand and said, "It is said that this freshman examination room is set up by a senior power of the Heavenly King Palace. And this abyss is actually the most hidden assessment point. If there are people who can fly through the air, they will inevitably resonate with the abyss. And in the history of the Heavenly King Palace, those few demons who resonated with each other were later crowned marquis!"
