Chapter 205: Chapter 163 The Highlight Moment of Yin Shen Palace

The situation of no one coming out persisted for nearly fifteen minutes. During this time, everyone’s gaze kept shifting back and forth between the Light Gate and Fang Che.

The murmurs among the various sect leaders grew almost as loud as a thunderous wave, making the entire square buzz as if it were a swarm of billions of mosquitoes...

"Silence!"

The etiquette officer shouted loudly from above.

At this moment, a white shadow flashed from the Light Gate as Yan Beihan flew directly out, landing on the red carpet and then walking out. Following him were the General Level participants from the headquarters involved in the Cultivating Gu to Become a God Plan, coming out one batch after another.

"Phew..."

Everyone finally relaxed and took a breath of relief.

Thank goodness, they weren’t all killed.

Then, even more people emerged.

No one spoke, and everyone quietly walked across the red carpet and stopped in front of the plaques representing their sects.

The sect leaders of the Ice Demon Sect, Moon Demon Sect, Heavenly God Sect, and Yemo Sect craned their necks to look.

Why haven’t our people come out yet?

A considerable number have already emerged... haven’t they?

Ren Zhongyuan was also watching from a distance, wondering why only one person from the Yixin Sect had come out. Where were the others? Still inside?

Finally.

All personnel came out.

The Light Gate closed.

It showed that there was no one left alive inside. Everyone was here.

A rain of petals, vast and unending, fell from the sky.

Several sect leaders’ faces changed drastically: no one from their sect came out! In front of the plaque with their name on it stood empty, like a tombstone erected there.

Especially the Moon Demon Sect Master Jiang Yihe.

Where is my son?

If no one else came out, even my son didn’t either?

Where has my son gone?

The people in front were even more astonished: who in the world dared to kill people from the headquarters? And so many of them at that?

Several halls were left empty...

"Tsk, tsk..."

The Vice Sect Master Bi Changhong furrowed his brows, his eyes filled with confusion, noticing how few people had come out this time.

Usually, a similar number enter, but you would get seventy or eighty thousand coming out.

What happened this time?

"Go and count."

"It’s already been counted, Sect Master Bi. A total of thirty-five thousand four hundred and sixty-three people."

Bi Changhong’s eyebrows twitched involuntarily.

One hundred fifty-three thousand six hundred and twelve went in.

Only thirty-five thousand came out?

Not even a fraction made it out? This time the killings inside were so severe?

"Start tallying the Five Spirits Gu. Start the ranking!"

Bi Changhong sighed deeply.

It seems this time, many families will be mourning at the headquarters.

"Begin the tally. Following the previous order, whichever sect is called, that sect’s members come forward to count their Five Spirits Gu consumption."

The etiquette officer called out, "Ice Demon Sect!"

No one responded.

No one moved.

The Ice Demon Sect leader’s face turned as black as iron.

"Ice Demon Sect!"

The etiquette officer called once more.

Finally, the Fire Demon Sect Master loudly answered, "The Ice Demon Sect is completely wiped out, not a single one came out!"

"Hahahaha..."

The sect leaders laughed gleefully.

That damn Ice Demon Sect, the last champion, has been completely annihilated this time, bringing joy to everyone.

They deserved it!

For being so arrogant!

The etiquette officer’s eyes swept coldly as he said, "Ice Demon Sect leader, step forward and kneel!"

The Ice Demon Sect Master Xue Hun, dressed in white, walked out, looking a bit lost and incredulous.

He went to the most central position and knelt down with a plop.

His heart was bewildered: Completely gone? Just like that?

Looking up at those nine chairs, previously... I used to sit there often!

Today I understand, kneeling feels terribly uncomfortable.

Thousands of eyes watched from all around, buzzing with gossip.

This was truly the saying: Once a guest at the banquet, now a prisoner in the dungeon.

No one expected the once-glorious Ice Demon Sect Master to be the first to kneel this time!

"Golden Demon Sect!"

Instantly, over fifty people from the Golden Demon Sect came out, lining up for inspection.

Some had a few dozen, others over a hundred, with the most being over four hundred.

"Yin Demon Sect!"

A dozen people came out from the Yin Demon Sect.

Next: "Moon Demon Sect!"

Again, no response.

"The Moon Demon Sect is also wiped out!"

The Fire Demon Sect Master cheerfully proclaimed, "Not a single one came out!"

The Moon Demon Sect Master Jiang Yihe looked stricken.

Completely gone... even my son is dead. Blood began to trickle from the corner of his mouth.

"Moon Demon Sect Master! Step forward and kneel!"

With a shout, the Moon Demon Sect Master, eyes red and fists clenched, walked out, holding back his grief. He slowly knelt beside the Ice Demon Sect Master.

"Fire Demon Sect!"

"Coming!"

The Fire Demon Sect Master waved his hand, "Quickly, go!"

Three people from the Fire Demon Sect came up.

Three people?

The etiquette officer looked a bit surprised at the Fire Demon Sect Master: he was so pleased about others being wiped out, yet he only had three left himself!

As the inspection continued from sect to sect.

When the Mingguang Sect, Yemo Sect, and Heavenly God Sect were called, there was no response.

Only the Fire Demon Sect Master’s voice repeatedly rang out.

"Wiped out! They’re wiped out! This one is wiped out too..."

"Sect leaders of wiped-out sects, step forward and kneel!"

Finally.

"Yixin Sect!"

Yin Shen Palace excitedly waved their hand, urging them to go. Go on.

Ren Zhongyuan’s people were all dead, only one lone sapling remained, and it’s my person! Hahaha...

I’m elated!

The crisis! It’s over!

Gone!

And I don’t have to kneel!

Yin Shen Palace’s smile stretched wide to their cheeks, their joyous laughter spreading far and wide, absent the usual gloom.

Practically a middle-aged man whose son just ranked top of the class.

Fang Che stepped forward to salute, then focused on the unknown, pitch-black object in the box held by the etiquette officer, channeling his energy to summon the Five Spirits Gu.

The Five Spirits Gu appeared, its whole body a glossy black, glowing as it settled atop the pitch-black object.

In the next moment.

The etiquette officer suddenly looked up, his eyes widening in disbelief at Fang Che, as if he had seen a ghost.

He repeatedly swallowed hard.

Apparently, the immense magnitude left this etiquette officer directly stunned!

There was something Fang Che didn’t know: for example, if a person had killed three others before being killed by Fang Che, those three kills would naturally be credited to Fang Che’s tally!

Fang Che only counted his own, not knowing this tally would include such amounts.

Because he simply had no idea about it.

Once the count was complete, Fang Che returned to his original position.

The tally was completed swiftly.

After all, the Main Sect didn’t participate in the ranking, only the subordinate sects, and many sects were completely wiped out, speeding things up.

Finally.

The final numbers were announced.

"You can wait for the complete rankings to be posted later; for now, we’ll announce the top ten."

"Tenth place, Fire Demon Sect."

"Ninth place, Hong Mo Sect."

"Eighth place, Flame Demon Sect."

"Seventh place, Wood Demon Sect."

"Sixth place, Lan Demon Sect."

"Fifth place, Earth Demon Sect."

"Fourth place, Dark Demon Sect."

With each name called, sect leaders took turns ascending the stage.

There were only nine seats on the stage.

The Fire Demon Sect Master stood beside the seats, signifying the dignity of the nine great sect leaders.

The Red Demon Sect Master and others appeared cheerfully as they took their seats, sitting upright with glowing faces.

Yin Shen Palace enviously looked at the seated sect leaders above, knowing Yixin Sect wasn’t among them, realizing his chances were dashed.

But it didn’t matter.

The greatest objective had been achieved. Sitting up there or not wasn’t important; as long as there was no kneeling involved, it was sufficient.

No other demands left to make.

As for ascending the Heavenly Ladder, doing it was unnecessary.

Yin Shen Palace felt content, his smile never ceasing.

"Third place, Water Demon Sect!"

"Second place, Golden Demon Sect!"

As the etiquette officer called this, he paused, then raised his voice slowly, "First place..."

There was a buzz of chatter below; the Water Demon Sect and Golden Demon Sect were genuinely resilient.

Consistently finishing in the top three for so many editions! But who would the first place be this time?

The etiquette officer’s voice boomed like thunder, "First place..."

After calling the first place, he paused again. His gaze swept through the audience as if seeking someone.

Whoever was named before, he looked at their face, and this time was no exception. Yet, after a full circle, he had not found the person.

Meanwhile.

The Yixin Sect Leader Yin Shen Palace was whispering with Qian Sanjiang in hushed tones, "This round is stable; once we get back, we’ll start taking action."

"I’ll follow the Sect Leader’s lead!"

Qian Sanjiang was also quite motivated.

With the crisis over, wouldn’t it be time to settle old scores next?

They had turned the tables!

Joy abounded!

At this moment, they noticed the announcement had stopped above. Stalled?

Everyone was waiting to hear the first place; why wasn’t it being announced?

Yin Shen Palace curiously lifted his head and looked, seeing the etiquette officer looking directly at him, actually smiling?

Yin Shen Palace felt completely puzzled: it had nothing to do with him, so why was he being looked at like that? And such a smile?

Right at that moment, the etiquette officer, fixedly looking at Yin Shen Palace, smiled and declared, "First place! Yixin Sect!"

All the sect leaders turned their heads in unison, their gazes like sharp arrows shooting over.

Those in front naturally parted to make way.

All eyes watched Yin Shen Palace.

Yin Shen Palace looked at the etiquette officer in astonishment, feeling as if a bomb went off in his head, leaving him dizzy and disoriented.

He could barely stand.

Stupidly, he pointed at his nose, his expression distorted and comical, "Me?"

The etiquette officer nodded affirmatively and repeated, "First place, Yixin Sect!"

In an instant, Yin Shen Palace felt like he had exploded!

He had blown up!

With a whoop, he jumped up, waving his arms and legs excitedly.

Those chairs, he had never sat in them in his life, except once, but that time the General Level hadn’t even returned before dying of severe injuries.

So it didn’t count.

But this time, it’s first place!

First place!

He was going to ascend the Heavenly Ladder!

He took deep breaths, many times, trying to contain himself. He kept thinking: which pose looked coolest for showing off?

With elegance, he stepped forward, floating like a cloud, under the envious eyes of all the sect leaders. In an instant, he almost tripped over his own feet.

Was it a dream?

Was he dreaming?

It wasn’t a dream!

Hahaha, good job, Yemo!

Truly well done!

Yin Shen Palace advanced toward the first place seat.

Hu Qiu, the Fifth Hall Master of the financial sector overseeing the betting pool, turned pale. Watching Yin Shen Palace ascend, he was gnashing his teeth.

My money! My money!

This wave, a total loss!

The profits and the underwear were gone, sobbing.

At this moment, suddenly.

A loud shout.

"Wait!"
