"What? You're not competing in the second round? ”

Elder Wu looked at Jiang Heng in astonishment.

Before returning to Ulan City, Jiang Heng called Elder Wu aside alone and said his plan to give up the second round.

"Why? Your strength is obviously the absolute number one in the game, as long as you play all the way, you can add an additional 120 points and become the champion, why give up at this time? ”

Elder Wu asked puzzled.

"With the current points of the sect, winning the top twenty is already a doomed result, and it can still be ranked among the top sects."

"So, whether I participate in the ring or not, in fact, it's all the same, it only affects my personal ranking, so I don't think it's necessary to participate."

Jiang Heng shook his head, and then said seriously:

"I have other important matters to deal with, so I want to leave the team temporarily from now on, and ask Elder Wu to help me hide the news temporarily."

"When the matter is settled, I will return to the sect."

Elder Wu was silent for a moment and said in a low voice:

"Are you still worried about the sneak attack of the Vientiane Realm powerhouse? If so, it would be more dangerous to leave the team alone in this case. ”

Jiang Heng still shook his head and said in a deep voice: "In the sect, please also ask Elder Wu to help me report." ”

What he didn't say was.

Sect Master Bai Haocang was also among his key suspects, and then including Elder Wu in front of him, he couldn't talk about trust.

So far, the other party dared to attack him in the joint martial arts presided over by the Holy Land, and even the powerhouses of the Vientiane Realm had already appeared, which showed that the determination to kill him was extremely strong.

And after the assassination of the strong man in the Vientiane Realm fails, will the other party have a stronger person to dispatch?

He didn't know.

But if there is really a strong person above the Vientiane Realm, it will not be so easy for him to survive.

Therefore, with the team of the sect, not only will there be no help, but they will put themselves under everyone's eyes and put themselves in danger.

He is in the light, and the enemy is in the dark.

If you go on like this, you will always be too passive.

So he decided to temporarily hide himself in the dark and continue to accumulate strength.

Elder Wu's face was cloudy, and he gritted his teeth and asked:

"As a true disciple of a top-level sect, with the backing of the sect, how can you be allowed to face the crisis alone?"

"Tell me the truth, do you know who did it to you? Or is there an object of suspicion? ”

Jiang Heng was silent, still looking at Elder Wu, waiting for his reply.

After a moment, Elder Wu let out a long sigh.

"That's it, since you don't want to say it, then I won't force you."

"I will help you report to the sect, but at most three months, you will have to return to the sect, July 1, 3023, is the day of the sect master's election, and all elders and true disciples must not be absent."

"July 1st, three months?"

Jiang Heng frowned, then stretched out, and said categorically: "No problem!" ”

When Jiang Heng turned around.

Elder Wu looked at him solemnly: "Jiang Heng, take care!" ”

Jiang Heng paused and replied, "Thank you!" ”

Immediately, Jiang Heng found Yuan Haotian alone.

For the most dazzling individual champion in the trial, Yuan Haotian didn't put on any shelf, and followed Jiang Heng to the corner on the side.

Jiang Heng reported his withdrawal from the competition, and by the way, he also said about the attack in the trial, which immediately made Yuan Haotian furious.

"You mean, there is actually a Vientiane Realm powerhouse who has infiltrated the trial?"

Yuan Haotian suppressed his anger and said in a low voice.

"That's right."

"Who is it? Dare to openly provoke the Holy Land, it is simply unknowing! Jiang Heng, do you have any suspicions? ”

"I don't know."

"Don't know?"

Yuan Haotian frowned and looked at Jiang Heng in surprise.

"That's right, I don't know who is going to attack me, so I want to take advantage of the other party's reaction, hurry back to the sect alone, report it specially, and ask the Holy Envoy to conceal my information."

The reason why he reported to Yuan Haotian was that on the one hand, he didn't want his sudden absence to cause a sensation, and hoped that Yuan Haotian would suppress the news as much as possible, and on the other hand, it was also to divert attention.

The Holy Land was also in his suspicions, so he deliberately said that he should return to the sect quickly.

If the person who made the shot was really a holy land, and Yuan Haotian also knew about it, then it was just time to look away.

Hearing this, Yuan Haotian was silent for a moment, and had no choice but to say:

"Don't worry! It's happening right under our noses, and we're naturally going to look into it. ”

"It's just that the strong man of the Vientiane Realm made a masked move, and there were too few clues left, so it is very likely that there will be no results."

Jiang Heng nodded and said, "I understand!" ”

Immediately, Jiang Heng left alone and quietly disappeared from everyone's sight.

……

Under the leadership of Yuan Haotian, everyone returned to the luxurious manor outside Ulan City and started the lottery competition in the ring competition.

As duel after duel continues, someone finally notices that something is wrong.

"Huh? Jiang Heng doesn't seem to have appeared? ”

"It doesn't seem to have appeared during the draw just now, I thought I was blind, it seems that I really didn't participate."

Someone looked in the direction of Da Luozong and Yuan Haotian, who was quietly watching the game on the side, but did not get any relevant response.

Everyone had no choice but to put aside the doubts in their hearts and continue to watch the duel.

Somewhere in the square, Zuo Yueru, who was dressed in red, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Since that terrible boy is not competing, it seems that I have to be the champion!"

The white-haired young man on the other side also breathed a sigh of relief, and his gaze full of battle intent fell on Zuo Yueru.

"Since I don't have that terrible boy, then I can hope to win the championship!"

Zuo Yueru also seemed to notice his gaze and turned her head to look.

Their eyes met in the air.

Like Jiang Heng, they have obtained points far ahead of others, which is completely enough for the sect to maintain the level of the top sect.

The significance of the ring match is more just to determine the individual ranking.

But with the existence of Jiang Heng before, the two knew that they had no hope of winning the championship at all, and no matter how much they competed, they were destined to only be the runner-up or the third runner-up.

For the arrogant two, this is not the slightest interest.

But now, Jiang Heng withdrew for some reason, so the champion must be born between the two of them.

Just beat him/her and I'm the champion!

The two of them suddenly felt a battle in their hearts!

……

The other side.

"Jiang Heng retired early and didn't know where to go?"

In the dimly lit room, an elegant middle-aged man held a note and pondered.

"It seems that he also guessed that we would continue to attack him, so while the Holy Envoy was still there, he hid it in advance, so that we could not search."

"It's a pity that I'm not as jealous of the people in the Holy Land as you think."

The elegant middle-aged man's murderous aura was put away, and the whole room was suddenly full of gloomy winds.

As he walked out of the room, he turned into a streamer of light, and Edgeworth flew away.

In just a few minutes, he flew over a hundred miles and came to the Lotus Mountain Range, flying back and forth at low altitude in the entire Lotus Mountain Range.

Starting from the Vientiane Realm, one can begin to use the mystical psychic power, and when you reach the Mystic Realm, the psychic power is enough to reach out of the body and probe the psychic fluctuations of any living being.

At this moment, the elegant middle-aged man exuded formless and qualitative spiritual power outside his body, probing every inch of the mountain range little by little.
