Chapter 187: The Seal God Palace's Moment of Glory
Chapter 187: The Seal God Palace's Moment of Glory
For nearly a quarter of an hour, not a single person emerged from the light gate, and everyone's gaze shifted back and forth between the light gate and Fang Che.
The whispered discussions among the various sect leaders gradually grew louder, like a surging wave, filling the entire square with the buzzing of millions of mosquitoes.
"Silence!"
The ceremonial officer above shouted.
Just at that moment, a white figure flashed within the light gate, and Yan Beihan directly flew out, landing on the red carpet before walking out. Following her were the General Rank participants from the various departments of the headquarters who had joined the Incubation to Divinity Program, emerging in batches.
"Phew..."
Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, thankfully, they didn't kill everyone.
Then, even more people emerged.
No one spoke, and everyone silently walked across the red carpet, stopping in front of the sign bearing their sect's name.
The sect leaders of the Ice Demon Sect, Moon Demon Sect, and Heavenly God Sect, among others, craned their necks to watch.
Why haven't our people come out yet?
Quite a few have come out already...
Ren Zhongyuan also watched from afar. Hmm, only one person from the Unified Heart Sect has come out, where are the others? Are they still behind?
Finally.
Everyone had emerged.
The light gate closed.
It indicated that there was not a single living person left inside. Everyone was now gathered here.
Petals rained down from the sky endlessly, falling without cease.
Several sect leaders' faces changed instantly: not a single person from their sect had come out! In front of the sign bearing their sect's name, not a single person stood. It was like a tombstone standing there.
Especially the Moon Demon Sect's sect leader, Jiang Yihe.
Where is my son?
Others have come out, but my son hasn't?
Where has my son gone?
Those in front were even more astonished: How come so many people are missing?
Who is so bold as to kill the headquarters' people? And they killed so many?
Several halls were empty...
Tsk tsk.
Deputy Sect Master Bi Changhong frowned, his eyes filled with doubt. There were indeed fewer people this time.
In the past, even with so many entering, they would still come out with seventy or eighty thousand.
What happened this time?
"Let's start counting."
"The tally is already done, Grandmaster Bi. There are a total of 35,463 people."
Bi Changhong couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows.
153,612 people had entered.
Only 35,000 came out? Not even a single one from the others? This time, the killing inside was so fierce?
"Begin counting the Five Spirit Toads. Start the ranking!"
Bi Changhong sighed.
It seems that this time, the headquarters will have many families mourning.
"Begin counting the Five Spirit Toads. Start the ranking based on the previous order. Call out the name of each sect, and have the members of that sect come forward to count the number of Five Spirit Toads they've devoured."
The ceremonial officer shouted, "Ice Demon Sect!"
No one responded.
No one moved either.
The Ice Demon Sect's sect leader's face turned as dark as an iron block.
"Ice Demon Sect!"
The ceremonial officer called out again.
Finally, the Fire Demon Sect's sect leader beside him answered loudly, "The Ice Demon Sect is completely wiped out, not a single person came out!"
"Hahahaha..."
The various sect leaders burst into joyous laughter.
Damn Ice Demon Sect, the champion of the previous session, has been completely annihilated this time. It seems they'll be kneeling, and everyone is delighted at their misfortune.
Serves them right!
Damn them for their arrogance!
The ceremonial officer swept his eyes coldly and said, "Ice Demon Sect's sect leader, come out and kneel!"
The Ice Demon Sect's sect leader, Xue Hun, dressed in white, seemed somewhat dazed and disbelieving as he walked out.
He walked to the very center. Plop, he knelt down.
In his heart, he was still bewildered: Completely wiped out? Just like that, they're all gone? He looked up at the nine chairs, before... on so many occasions, I was the one sitting there! Only today do I understand the feeling of kneeling, and it's so uncomfortable.
Hundreds of thousands of eyes nearby watched, and everyone was whispering.
It truly fulfilled the saying, yesterday's honored guest, today's prisoner.
No one could have imagined that the once glorious Ice Demon Sect's sect leader would be the first to kneel this time.
"Gold Devil Sect!"
Instantly, over fifty people from the Gold Devil Sect lined up and went for inspection.
Some had several dozen, some had over a hundred, and the most had over four hundred.
"Shadow Devil Sect!"
Then, no one answered.
"The Moon Demon Sect is also completely wiped out!"
The Fire Demon Sect's sect leader happily shouted, "Not a single person came out!"
Moon Demon Sect's sect leader, Jiang Yihe, was like a bereaved parent.
Wiped out... his son is also dead. He couldn't help but have blood at the corners of his mouth.
"Moon Demon Sect's sect leader, come out and kneel!"
Following a call, the Moon Demon Sect's sect leader, Jiang Yihe, walked out with reddened eyes, clenching his fists, and lowering his head. He endured the pain and slowly knelt down beside the Ice Demon Sect's sect leader.
"Fire Devil Sect!"
"Here!"
The Fire Devil Sect's sect leader waved his hand, "Go quickly!"
Three people walked towards the Fire Devil Sect.
Three people?
The ceremonial officer looked at the Fire Devil Sect's sect leader with some astonishment: You're so happy that the others are wiped out, but it turns out you only have three left!
As each sect was called, there was no response when it came to the Light Sect, Night Demon Sect, and Heavenly God Sect.
Only the Fire Devil Sect's sect leader's voice kept repeating.
"Wiped out, wiped out, this one is also wiped out..."
"Sect leaders whose people are wiped out, come out and kneel!"
"Unified Heart Sect!"
The Seal God Palace excitedly waved, go, go.
All of Ren Zhongyuan's people are dead, leaving only a single survivor, and he's my man! Hahahaha...
So refreshing!
I'm going to feel so refreshed!
I'm not kneeling!
Too damn... The Seal God Palace's mouth stretched to his cheek, and his cheerful laughter echoed from afar, not a trace of his former viciousness remained.
Fangche stepped forward, approaching the Ceremonial Officer, who held a box containing an unknown, pitch-black object. Fangche channeled his energy, causing the Five Spirit Toad to emerge.
The Five Spirit Toad appeared, its body gleaming with a lustrous blackness, almost as if it were glowing. It landed on the pitch-black object.
The next moment—
The Ceremonial Officer abruptly looked up, his eyes widening as he stared at Fangche, as if he had seen a ghost. He couldn't help but swallow repeatedly.
Evidently, the value was immense, leaving the Ceremonial Officer utterly shocked! There was something Fangche didn't know: this person had already killed three people, and then Fangche killed him. So, the three people he killed would naturally be counted towards Fangche's tally!
Fangche only calculated his own, not paying attention to this aspect.
Because he was completely unaware of this matter.
After the tally, Fangche returned to his original position.
The counting wasn't slow.
After all, the Headquarters didn't participate in the rankings, only the subordinate sects did, and many sects had been eliminated, making it even faster.
Finally.
The final numbers emerged.
"You can wait for the list to be posted for the rest of the rankings, but now I announce the top ten."
"In tenth place, the Fire Demon Sect."
"In ninth place, the Crimson Devil Sect."
"In eighth place, the Flame Devil Sect."
"In seventh place, the Wood Devil Sect."
"In sixth place, the Orchid Devil Sect."
"In fifth place, the Dark Devil Sect."
As the names were called, several sect masters took their seats one after another.
There were only nine seats on the stage.
The Fire Demon Sect Master stood beside the nine seats, displaying the authority of the nine great sect masters.
As for the Crimson Devil Master and the others, they took their seats with beaming faces, sitting upright with faces flushed with excitement.
Emperor Yin from the Seal God Palace looked on enviously at the sect masters seated above, but when he heard the Unified Heart Sect wasn't mentioned, he knew he had no chance.
But that didn't matter.
The primary goal had been achieved. Whether they sat or not didn't matter; the important thing was not to kneel.
He had no other requests.
As for the Heavenly Ladder, he didn't mind skipping it.
Emperor Yin was content, his smile never fading.
"In third place, the Water Devil Sect!"
"In second place, the Gold Devil Sect!"
The Ceremonial Officer paused after this announcement, clearing his throat before slowly saying, "In first place..."
The audience buzzed with discussion. The Water Devil Sect and the Gold Devil Sect were truly formidable.
For so many consecutive terms, they had never dropped out of the top three!
But who was in first place?
The Ceremonial Officer's voice thundered, "In first place..."
After announcing the first-place winner, he paused, his eyes scanning the audience as if searching for someone.
Whoever was called out, everyone looked at that person, but this time, after a full circle, no one was found.
Over there.
Qian Sanjiang, the Unified Heart Sect Master, whispered with Emperor Yin, "This time, we're safe. When we return, we'll start taking action."
"We only follow the Sect Master's lead!"
Qian Sanjiang was also excited.
The crisis was over, and now it was time to settle old scores.
Damn it, they had turned the tables! He was thrilled.
At this moment, they only heard the announcement pause. Was there a glitch?
Everyone was waiting to hear the first-place winner, why did you stop? Emperor Yin curiously looked up, but he saw the Ceremonial Officer's gaze fall on his face, and the officer was smiling at him?
Emperor Yin was baffled: "What are you looking at me for? I have nothing to do with me. Why are you smiling?"
Just then, the Ceremonial Officer looked at Emperor Yin and smiled, saying, "In first place... The Unified Heart Sect!"
All the sect masters looked on, their gazes sharp as arrows.
The sect masters in front made way, creating a path.
Everyone's attention was on Emperor Yin.
Emperor Yin stared at the Ceremonial Officer in astonishment, feeling his mind buzzing, dizzy, and his vision blurring.
He almost couldn't stand.
He foolishly pointed at his nose, his expression contorted and comical.
The Ceremonial Officer nodded, repeating, "The Unified Heart Sect!"
In that instant, Emperor Yin felt like he had exploded! He burst with excitement, his voice rising, and he danced with joy.
Damn it, those chairs! He had never sat on them in his life, no, he had sat once, but the general hadn't returned from his mission and had been severely injured.
But this time, he was first!
He took deep breaths, over and over, unable to contain his excitement. His mind raced with thoughts of how to strike a pose.
With graceful strides, he walked forward, floating like a cloud, almost tripping over his own feet.
This must be a dream!
Am I dreaming?
No, it's not a dream!
Haha, well done, Night Devil!
Emperor Yin approached the first-place throne.
Hu Qiu, the fifth hall master of the Wealth Hall, paled, watching Emperor Yin's figure walk forward. His teeth clenched.
My money! My money!
This time, he lost big time! He even lost the bet! }
Just then, a sudden shout.
"Hold on!"
