Time soon came to evening, and an hour had passed since Gu An came out.
Although the commotion caused by Gu An's points has not completely subsided, it is not as noisy as before.
The reason why everyone is still waiting here is because the chief disciples of the four major sects have not come out yet.
The leader of Xiaoyao Temple, Duan Chun, and the leaders of the other three sects around him looked at each other, and they all saw the uneasiness in everyone's eyes.
Duan Chun walked to Cui Heng, frowned and asked: "Cui City Lord, how long can this secret portal last?"
This is not the first conference, but this is the first time that someone has not come out for so long...
In the past, everyone acted together, so everyone knew who died inside.
Report to the above people, and the portal can be closed after the head count is correct.
Just now I went to ask other disciples of the four major sects, and they said that Chen Zhiqun and others.
Since they are quite powerful and no one has seen their bodies, the portal is still open and waiting.
Cui Heng paused and looked at You Hongming and others beside him.
After the two of them nodded, Cui Heng looked at the sky and said, "It will probably take half an hour at most.
At Xu time, it must be closed, otherwise it will cause instability in the space.
Trigger the spiritual energy riot inside."
Duan Chun nodded, thanked Cui Heng and the others, and then walked back to his seat.
"You heard it too, it's still half an hour; actually...oh, forget it."
Duan Chung was about to say something, but stopped and sighed.
The heads of the other three sects also didn't look very good. They knew what Duan Chun wanted to say.
At this time, it has not come out yet, and it is basically impossible to come out...
Duan Chun's eyes flickered, he glanced at the score board, and then looked at Gu An in the Suppression Division team below.
If I remember correctly, they seemed to be looking for trouble with Gu An, but Gu An's strength...
After pondering for a moment, Duan Chun withdrew his gaze and continued to wait quietly.
In the team of the Suppressing Evil Division below.
Xie Ziye also looked at the door ahead nervously.
His ranking is now thirteenth. If Chen Zhiqun and others come out, his ranking will most likely be pushed to seventeenth and he will be eliminated...
Gu An took a look at the current rankings. Among the top sixteen, four positions were occupied by the Suppressing Evil Division, three by the City Lord's Palace, one each by the Qian Family and the Loose Cultivator Alliance. The remaining seven were all disciples of the Wu Palace.
Gu An also knew that the young man who went to the capital probably played a very important role in this.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for those few people from Youzhou Wufu to achieve such good results.
Xu Fang, let me see what tricks you have coming to the capital... Gu An withdrew his gaze and began to wait quietly for You Hongming and others above to announce the end of the preliminaries.
Because he knew that it was impossible for Chen Zhiqun and others to come out again...
Time passed slowly, and soon half an hour passed, and the night was getting dark.
Cui Heng nodded when he saw You Hongming looking at him.
He explained to Duan Chun and others aside, and after receiving the answer, he flew to the door with You Hongming and others.
The three of them activated the tokens respectively.
When all the red light covering the cross-section of the canyon was recovered into the token, the three of them took back the token and flew back to the high platform.
Xie Ziye below could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Seeing this, Gu An smiled and said, "Don't forget the bet you made before."
Xie Ziye rolled his eyes: "Don't worry, although ten thousand points is a lot, I can still get it."
While the two were talking, Cui Heng had already walked to the edge of the high platform and looked around.
"This is the end of the preliminaries. We will have a day off tomorrow and the finals will be held the day after tomorrow. The specific rules will be announced at that time.
For the young disciples who died in the secret realm, I would like to express my deepest condolences on behalf of the Nancheng Palace of Youzhou Town..."
Later, after Cui Heng said some words of encouragement, he announced the disbandment.
Led by the leaders of the major forces, they headed towards Zhennancheng.
After two hours of traveling, everyone returned to the Xie Si Qianhu Office in Youzhou Town.
Although it was already midnight, You Hongming summoned everyone to the conference hall.
Gu An and others took their seats according to the points ranking.
You Hongming looked around and took a deep breath: "Gu An and Xie Zheng, please tell me what happened in the secret realm."
Gu An scratched his head: "Originally I was planning to go and meet them, but based on my personality, I would probably take action directly to deal with any monster I see.
It was difficult to distribute points by then, so I didn’t go.
Then I met Chen Zhiqun and others in the mountains. They initially discussed taking action together, but later they separated due to the uneven distribution of points.
Later, when I was acting alone, I stabbed a monster's nest.
The demon leader had the strength of the eighth-level demon. I relied on defense, perseverance, and formations to defeat him.
Originally the other demons were preparing to escape.
But I pretended to be tired and made them think that I had no fighting ability, so instead of running away, they turned around and started fighting with me."
The finals will begin the day after tomorrow. In order to compete for first place, Gu An will definitely have to face off against Xu Fang.
It was time to reveal his strength, so Gu An thought that instead of exposing it then, it would be better to say it directly at this time, which would also explain why he had obtained such high points.
At first, everyone also guessed that Gu An probably stabbed the demon's nest, but now that they heard Gu An tell the truth, they were still very shocked.
Xie Zheng smiled bitterly, told the story of himself and others, and at the same time apologized to You Hongming.
You Hongming waved his hand and said: "You don't need to apologize, and this is not what you want to see. It can only be said that we all misjudged the strength of the demon in this secret realm.
Five years ago, there were no such monsters."
As he said that, You Hongming seemed to have remembered something and asked Gu An: "Chen Zhiqun, that disciple of Xiaoyaoguan?"
"good."
"They...are referring to the chief disciples of the other three sects?"
Gu An still nodded.
At this time, there was something wrong with the way You Hongming looked at Gu An.
After coming over for a moment, You Hongming said: "This time, our Evil Suppression Department, Xie Family, City Lord's Palace, and Huang Family all suffered a lot of casualties.
There is nothing to say about the losses of their four major sects.
Now, what needs to be paid attention to is the finals.
After our discussion, we divided it into upper and lower halves.
The first pair is 16th, and so on, so if there are no accidents.
Gu An, you and Xu Fang will meet in the finals."
After a while, the others retreated one after another.
You Hongming left Gu An behind.
"Can you tell me what level your strength is now?
Let me analyze your chances of winning against Xu Fang."
Gu An was stunned for a moment, with a troubled expression on his face.
After a moment, Gu An gritted his teeth and nodded: "If we use all our strength, we should be able to fight against the ninth level of Gang Qi."
