In the imperial capital, a huge arena has been set up in the central arena, and all the princes have arrived. Although there are only four princes participating in the second round of assessments, others have to come. This is against the rules.
At this time, not only them, but also the emperor of the Cang Qing Dynasty, Qing Yan Sheng, who always sees the dragon but never sees the end, came in person!
Above the sky, there is a huge throne, and Saint Qingyan is sitting on it, surrounded by colorful auspicious clouds, making him seem to be not a human emperor, but an emperor.
Under Qing Yansheng, all the heads of the seven major families were present. The heads of the Mu family, the Qin family, the Shi family, the Changsun family, the Chen family, the Ruan family, and the Wei family were sitting in the center of the viewing seats.
There is the most honorable position besides Qingyan Saint in the sky.
Around the huge arena in the center, the four princes who were about to take the assessment and their people from various states under their command had already stood waiting at their positions.
However, Qing Heng was a bit eye-catching at this time. Everyone could see that there were only four people behind Qing Heng, and the youngest one was Wei Zong!
Wei Zong was inconspicuous at first, but after he showed his strength again and again, no one dared to despise him. Not only did they not dare to despise him, many people even thought that Wei Zong was one of the strongest talents in this assessment.
Unfathomable. It is said that Wei Zong has never made a move with all his strength, and no one knows how much strength he still hides.
"I said Qing Heng, where is your subordinate Wei Zong? Could it be that he was afraid and just ran away?"
Seeing that Qing Heng didn't look very good, Qing Yan joked like he was gloating at his misfortune.
When he said this, Qing Heng's face turned even darker. Qing Heng glanced at Qing Yan coldly and said calmly: "Just mind yourself. You don't need to worry about my affairs."
"cut!"
Qing Yan curled his lips disdainfully: "You damn duck has a tough mouth! I see Wei Zong, he is just scared... Hahaha..."
When Qing Yan's laughter stopped, he looked around in disbelief. It was Ao Tianrui who told him to shut up?
"Although I don't like Wei Zong, I also know his character and admire his strength. What right do you have to ridicule him?"
Ao Tianrui said coldly, looking at Qingyan with a somewhat unpleasant look.
"I……"
Qingyan was stuck for a moment. Ao Tianrui's cold words and the faintly mocking glances of the people on the side made him feel extremely unhappy. He was extremely angry. What made him angry was that Ao Tianrui dared to save face in front of so many people.
Not even to him!
However, he did not dare to get angry at all. After all, he would have to rely on Ao Tianrui for the assessment later. The only one among his men who could fight was Ao Tianrui.
So, under everyone's surprised gazes, Qing Yan actually shut up. This made everyone marvel. It seemed that Qing Yan couldn't control Ao Tianrui at all, and instead was shouted around by him.
Qingyan was sneering in his heart at this time: Those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters, and mere insults are nothing. When I ascend to the supreme throne, I will slowly liquidate you!
Qing Heng was not surprised. He knew the character of his younger brother very well. He bullied the weak and feared the strong. However, Wu Xinlian passed over Ao Tianrui with some surprise and said to Qing Heng in a low voice: "Your Highness, this Ao Tianrui is not the same as usual."
It’s different, not so arrogant.”
Qing Heng smiled and shook his head and said: "Normally, Ao Tianrui is a smart man and knows when to be arrogant and when not to be arrogant. It is impossible for an unreasonable, arrogant and reckless man to reach this point.
"
As if he heard Qing Heng's words, Ao Tianrui raised his eyebrows and glanced this way, and Qing Heng also smiled back at him.
"snort!"
Ao Tianrui just snorted coldly and turned his head away.
Dang! Dang! Dang!
The three loud sounds that seemed to come from the bottom of the heart resounded throughout the entire world, deafening, and everyone who heard it became solemn from the bottom of their hearts.
"It's about to begin!"
Qing Heng felt a chill in his heart, not only him, but also others. Even Lu Jianyin, who had always had a cold face, looked slightly solemn.
After the long bell tolled, the originally noisy scene became silent, and everyone looked solemn, waiting...
"Everyone!"
Slowly, Qing Yan Sheng, who was in the highest position, spoke. His voice was loud, and it spread to every corner of the entire imperial capital. Everyone who heard the words subconsciously straightened their bodies.
"This second round of assessment is supervised by me personally. The rules are very simple. In a round-robin battle, five people are added to each prince's team. If all five people lose, the prince will be eliminated. The prince with one person left in the end wins."
Everyone has known this rule for a long time, so they are not surprised at this time.
But what he said below was beyond everyone’s expectations...
"Originally, this second round of assessment will select two princes for the third round of assessment, and the winner will inherit the throne. But... I feel that this is too cumbersome, so I don't need this third round of assessment.
! Therefore, I have changed my mind! This round of assessment is the final assessment. To the prince who wins in the end, I will pass the throne to him, and he will be the new emperor of the Cangqing Dynasty! The Lord of the Cangqing Realm!"
Although Qing Yansheng's words were calm, the content of his words was earth-shattering.
There was an uproar below...
"This... Grandpa Huang, why is this, why is he so anxious?"
Qing Heng's face changed. He never expected this result. His grandpa was too impatient. In this way, this assessment became a battle to determine the final result, which caught him off guard.
Not even prepared.
Wu Xinlian's face was also a little pale. He looked at Qing Heng and said, "Your Highness, Wei Zong...has not come back yet, so what should we do?"
Without Wei Zong, he was the strongest person under Qing Heng, and he felt tremendous pressure at this time.
Qing Heng frowned, seeming to be thinking. After a moment, he relaxed his brows and said calmly: "Delay time, I believe Brother Wei should have rushed here by now. Wait a while, when you go up, you don't need to defeat the other party.
Just try to delay as much time as possible! When Brother Wei comes back, he will solve everything!"
From his words, it seemed that Qing Heng had absolute confidence in Wei Zong.
"That's it..."
After learning that his goal was just to delay time, Wu Xinlian couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Unknowingly, without even realizing it himself, he had already tacitly accepted that he was inferior to Wei Zong.
At this time, in the spectator seats.
The heads of the seven major families looked at each other, with an indescribable light in their eyes.
Wei Yuanbai sneered in his heart: "Qing Yansheng, this old guy, is starting to get anxious, but that's fine... the more anxious you are, the faster you will perish!"
