"It can't be!"

The old man's eyes widened, and his withered bark-like face was full of disbelief.

He vaguely remembered that he had accepted this task decades ago, when the lord told him that there was a powerful "senior" hidden under the Temple of Heaven, and that if he could be rescued, it would be great news for the entire organization, and he would not only be rewarded by the organization, but also likely to be favored by the "senior" under the Temple of Heaven.

It is these two huge ** that allow the old man to take a huge risk to operate this ritual in these decades.

There must be a brave man under the heavy reward, the old man understands from the moment he takes over this task that it is not simple to hide from the world, first of all, this thing can't be done too obviously, although it has been a thousand years since the great war a thousand years ago, the figure of the demon race has almost disappeared in the hearts of the vast majority of people on the continent, and only a few first-class forces on the continent know about the demon race a thousand years ago, and the four empires happen to be one of them.

However, to the old man's rejoicing, he successfully blended into the Forbidden Spirit Hall with his identity as a forbidden soul master and his great natural strength, and was called the vice president of the imperial branch.

As one of the top three wealthy forces in the mainland, the identity of "Vice President of the Forbidden Spirit Hall Empire Branch" is enough to eliminate everyone's suspicions, the old man only needs to pay attention to not showing obvious abnormalities in the operation ceremony, this point, he has done it in every kingdom competition for decades, and he has done it quietly, on the surface, the old man is very respectful to Jin Yuan, but secretly he snickered that Jin Yuan is a fool.

Today is the last time of the ceremony, and the old man can be 100% sure that after today's ceremony, his mission will officially come to a perfect end, and the mysterious "senior" who is under the Temple of Heaven will definitely be able to protect him in the siege of many strong people.

This is also the reason why the old man was so out of shape and so arrogant before.

When the stone tablet blocked Jin Yuan's first attack, the old man's heart was extremely happy, but now as the only little black mist left in the air was gradually evaporating, one of his hearts gradually fell from the rock at the beginning to the bottom.

Looking at the fierce sword qi that shot at him, the old man forgot for a moment that he was also a seventh-order peak powerhouse, and he was a forbidden spirit master, and in terms of occupation alone, he was even stronger than Jin Yuan.

But the old man never thought of making a move by himself, he relied too much on the so-called "senior", thinking that with that senior there, no attack could hurt him, and he himself only needed to hide behind the stone tablet until the senior would kill everyone present to complete the task, and enjoy the inexhaustible cultivation resources and the guidance of the strong.

The old man miscalculated.

It wasn't until the sword qi reached the old man's face that he slashed and reacted, but it was too late, the golden sword qi slashed through the old man's neck like a meteor, and then disappeared in the air, and the old man failed to mobilize the slightest spiritual power in his body from beginning to end.

Jin Yuan put away his sword and stood, in front of him, a thin trace of blood gradually appeared on the old man's neck, and the next moment, the human head separated, and the blood gushed out like a fountain, spraying on the stone tablet.

The stele did not move, and seemed to have lost its effect.

Seeing this scene, Jin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, the current situation can be regarded as a redemption, although his previous appearance could not save the life of the dead girl, but after all, the girl's death was not his fault, so in the heart of the ten kingdoms, the majesty of his emperor has risen a lot again.

"The Emperor is mighty!"

The remaining four seventh-order powerhouses knelt on one knee and raised their voices, and then the geniuses of the ten kingdoms also knelt on the ground, praising Jin Yuan's previous bravery.

Jin Yuan nodded with satisfaction, his gloomy face gradually cleared, and his eyes looked around, but when he fell somewhere, Jin Yuan's brows furrowed slightly.

Including the kings of the ten kingdoms, almost all the geniuses knelt down, except for the three people on the side of the Flowing Fire Kingdom.

These three people are Firefall, Nicole, and Leng You.

Flamefall sat cross-legged, Nicole and Leng Yu stood beside Firefall like guards, and the three of them were particularly eye-catching in the scene where everyone knelt.

The grim old man was about to say something, but was interrupted by Jin Yuan waving his hand.

Jin Yuan could see at a glance that Yan Yuan seemed to be in a tense cultivation, and the two people next to him were to help him protect the Fa, and it was understandable that the appearance of the three Yan Yuan was too amazing before, and that kind of talent and strength were what Jin Yuan wanted to woo, so Jin Yuan would not take such a small matter to heart.

"Everybody, get up. ”

Kim Won and Hee smiled, recovering their original gentle gesture.

"Emperor Xie. ”

The geniuses of all countries came together, but their eyes all fell on Yanfall without exception, during which there was admiration, envy, amazement, and disdain.

Admiration for Yan Fall's ability to enter a state of cultivation on such a grand event as the Kingdom Dabi, and it is not an ordinary cultivation, it seems to be breaking through, envy is to envy Yan Fall's high talent, he can break through the fifth order at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and the brightness of the future can be imagined, and he is amazed that it was because the changes that happened before did not affect Yan Fall in the slightest, you must know that everyone present was scared into a cold sweat, but Yan Fall was able to sit firmly on Mount Tai, as for disdain...... Well, after all, there are only a few people who disdain Yan Yuan, thinking that Yan Yuan is disrespectful to the Emperor, these people are mostly good at flattery, and want to deprive the Emperor of his attention with respect, but I don't know how many people have respect for Jin Yuan every day?

"Today's turn of events is really unexpected, and everyone has guessed that this Temple of Heaven is not as safe as we thought. ”

Jin Yuan looked around, saw that everyone nodded, groaned for a while, turned his gaze to his back, and whispered to the other four strong men.

After about a stick of incense, Jin Yuan turned around and hesitated for a moment: "Since this Heavenly Tower is not safe, then this Kingdom Contest will be suspended, and the next competition will be changed." ”

As he spoke, Jin Yuan pointed to the other four stone tablets on the Temple of Heaven except for the test stone tablet, and said: "Each of these four stone tablets has an ancient formation hidden inside, and this ancient formation is mostly defensive, and there is no attack at all, so in the previous kingdom competition, you all need to enter each formation, each formation can accommodate different people, the last formation can only accommodate twenty people, and according to your table in the stone tablet, the ranking will be automatically divided, only this time ......"

Jin Yuan sighed with pity: "Now that this Temple of Heaven is no longer safe, I don't know what will happen in this formation, so I decided to change this second test." ”

"Three days later, the capital of the empire, the platform of prayer, carried out the second item of the kingdom competition, the battle of the ladder. ”

PS: December, the last month, I don't want to leave regrets.
