Regardless of whether it was Gong Yongnian looking for trouble or the referee announcing the winner, Chen Dong actually didn't take it to heart.
From the very beginning, he was looking for the reason why his internal energy was sealed. He searched his leg for a long time based on his intuition, and finally pulled out the inactivating needle. Then he searched for the angle and direction, and finally locked on the Xuan Protector in the audience.
Regardless of motivation or location, Protector Xuan is the most suitable candidate!
Without waiting for Protector Xuan's reply, Protector-Shang rushed to the stage immediately, took the silver needle from Chen Dong's hand, and after examining it carefully for a while, he quickly came to the conclusion: "The inactivating needle, a divine magical weapon, can inactivate the psychic level."
The combat effectiveness will drop by 10% in a short period of time!"
Then, the Supreme Protector also turned to look at the audience: "Protector Xuan, should you give me an explanation?"
There were whispers all around again. Everyone said that it was no wonder that Chen Dong was at a disadvantage in the beginning. It turned out that it was the Xuan Protector of Xuanyue Mansion who was behind the trouble. Some people also said that Chen Dong could still defeat him even though his combat power was reduced by 10%.
Lu Fengyu is indeed amazing.
Protector Xuan said calmly: "Supreme Protector, it's not easy to talk nonsense like this. I don't even know what an inactivating needle is."
"You still deny it?!" The guardian raised his eyebrows: "The inactivating needle was inserted from your position!"
However, Protector Xuan sneered: "Really? There are not even one thousand but eight hundred people in my position, so why do you think it's me? If there is no conclusive evidence, I hope that the Protector will not slander anyone casually."
The arena was surrounded by onlookers, and there were more than a thousand people in every direction. Judging from the directions alone was indeed not rigorous enough.
Since Protector Xuan stabbed out the inactivating needle, he naturally thought of a strategy to deal with it.
"You..." The Supreme Protector was speechless for a moment. He immediately turned around and knelt down to Yan Zu, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, please judge this matter."
Then hold it up with both hands and place the inactivating needle in the palm of your hand.
Yanzu waved his hand, and a guard came down and took the inactivating needle.
After careful observation, Yan Zu confirmed that this thing was indeed an inactivating needle, which could perfectly explain why Chen Dong was at a disadvantage at the beginning, and then looked at the Xuan Protector of Xuanyue Mansion with a pair of eyes.
Protector Xuan was so excited that he immediately knelt on the ground and said loudly: "It is clear from the Holy Spirit that I did not insert the inactivating needle."
Yan Zu was already sure that this guy was the one who did it, but he couldn't convict him casually without evidence. As the king of a country, if he convicted a person based on mere speculation, his credibility would undoubtedly be greatly compromised.
Just as Yanzu frowned slightly, Chen Dong suddenly pointed at Protector Xuan and said, "You are still pretending. I even saw you put the mechanism box that fires the inactivation needle into the storage ring!"
Protector Xuan said with disdain: "You can really tell lies with your eyes open. Why do you need a trap box to launch an inactivating needle..."
Before he finished speaking, Protector Xuan suddenly froze and realized that he had fallen into the trap of Chen Dong's words.
Chen Dong sneered, then turned around and said: "Your Majesty, you heard it. Protector Xuan just said that he didn't know what an inactivating needle was, but now he said that launching an inactivating needle does not require a trap box at all... His words are so inconsistent, is it?
Needless to say who did it?"
Everyone around him suddenly realized, and there was a chorus of "yeah" and "yeah".
When the Supreme Protector heard this, he became happy, thinking that this guy Chen Dong could do it. He actually used this method to expose the Xuan Protector.
High above, Chen Musheng, the leader of the military president, gave a thumbs up: "I think this guy can do it!"
Gong Yongnian snorted coldly: "Crooked ways!"
Ancestor Yan was also secretly happy in his heart, but his face remained calm and he said calmly: "Protector Xuan, what else do you have to say?"
"I...I..." Protector Xuan was speechless. He was speechless and sweat was dripping from his forehead.
"Come here, arrest Protector Xuan and hand it over to the Ministry of Punishment. You can deal with it as you please. If you dare to commit adultery on the Yanwu Cup, you will never be tolerated!" Yan Zu gave the order directly.
"Yes!" Several guards immediately went over and escorted Protector Xuan down.
Lu Fengyu also turned pale. He didn't know what would happen to Protector Xuan. This time he failed to enter the top eight, and Protector Xuan was also arrested. Xuanyue Mansion really suffered heavy losses!
Although Protector Xuan held a high position in Xuan Yue Mansion, he was not that important to everyone present, so the storm passed quickly and the Yanwu Cup could be held.
"It's a good thing you still have a trump card, otherwise it would have been really dangerous just now." After sitting back in his original seat, the Supreme Protector said with great emotion.
"Yes, we almost stopped here..." Chen Dong also shook his head slightly and said with lingering fear.
At the end of the day, the 16-to-8 game finally ended.
The finalists who entered the top eight were: Qingyun Temple Chen Dong, Zihuomen Wu Yang, Tianshadong Xia Jinglong, Binghanbao Gaoqinghe, Zhenleitang Leng Yanni, Yandong King's subordinate Fang Shou, Yanxi King's subordinate Ma Yutang,
Cao Xingbang, under the command of King Yannan.
Unexpected, but also reasonable.
Although the top eight in previous years were generally held by disciples of the eight ancient sects, this time there were several strong men under kings with different surnames. Moreover, Qi Tiansheng, Pang Dali, and Lu Fengyu were also unlucky, and were defeated by Chen Dong from the beginning.
Eliminated.
After Yan Zu emphatically praised these eight people, he also rewarded them with some spiritual stones and elixirs, and announced that the "eight into four" competition would continue tomorrow.
It was getting late, so Chen Dong, Luo Zhen and the Protector had dinner together in the restaurant, and then went back to the house halfway up the mountain to rest.
Because of the moonstone, the room was bright even at night, and the three of them started playing Landlord again. In fact, because Wu Yang and the others had been playing this game these days, they had slowly grown up halfway up the mountain.
It's gradually becoming popular in the area, and it doesn't take much time to get some colorful pieces of paper anyway.
So at night, voices came from every room: "You are really good at playing cards" and "Don't leave, we will fight until dawn".
Chen Dong and others were having fun when suddenly someone knocked on the door "dong dong dong".
"Are you coming to challenge me again? It's going to be eight to four soon. These people are really idle..." Chen Dong looked confused, got up and walked out.
When he opened the door, he saw a guard wearing armor.
"You are..." Chen Dong frowned slightly.
"Chen Daxia, our young master sent me an invitation. Please accept it and go there in time." The guard said respectfully, and presented a golden invitation with both hands.
"Who is your young master?" Chen Dong frowned slightly and accepted the invitation.
"You'll know after seeing it." The guard saluted slightly, turned and left.
Chen Dong opened the invitation directly. The content on it was quite simple. It was an invitation for Chen Dong to come to the "Baihua Building" in Beijing. The signature caught Chen Dong's attention. It was just two words: Yan Ting.
Yan Ting?
Chen Dong frowned slightly. He had been in this world for more than a year, and of course he knew that "Yan Ting" was the eldest son of Yan Ancestor, also known as the eldest prince among everyone.
So good, why did he invite me to a party?
"What is supposed to come has come. It remains the same in every Yanwu Cup..." At some point, the Supreme Protector came behind Chen Dong and said quietly.
"What do you mean?" Chen Dong turned around and looked up at the protector.
"In recent decades, Ancestor Yan has planned to 'abdicate'." The Supreme Protector said: "Ancestor Yan has been bent on pursuing martial arts, but he has never been able to break through to the level of Tongtian. He thinks it is the chores in the secular world that have influenced him, and he has the intention to hand over this world.
Take care of his son. But he has more than one son, so naturally he has to choose carefully, regardless of his strength or character, as well as his ability and the way to serve.
, are all within the scope of his investigation. Among the sons of Yanzu, only the eldest prince and the second prince are the most promising, so the overt and covert fighting between these two people has never stopped. Every year, the top eight of the Yanwu Cup are
The object they are vying for can bring the top eight under their command, which will definitely be a great help in the future. If I guessed correctly, the Second Prince's people will be here soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, there were footsteps, and sure enough, another guard walked over through the bamboo forest.
"Master Chen, our young master sent me an invitation. Please be sure to show your favor and go." The guard respectfully presented the invitation.
"Okay, thank you." Chen Dong accepted the invitation and the guard turned and left.
After the invitation was opened, the contents were almost the same, except that the location was changed to the Riyue Building and the signature was: Yan Heng.
"Yanheng" is the name of the second prince.
"Interesting..." Chen Dong held two invitations in his hands and said, "So, the other top eight have also received invitations?"
The Supreme Protector pondered for a moment and said: "This has always been the case in the past, but there are some changes this year. Several masters under kings with different surnames have also entered the top eight... The two princes should not invite people with different surnames."
"So, Wu Yang, Xia Jinglong, Qing Qinghe, Leng Yanni and I all received invitations?"
"According to my judgment, it should be."
Chen Dong laughed: "If two princes invite you at the same time, how will the others choose?"
The Supreme Protector shook his head: "I don't know, no one can tell. Both princes are very talented. It makes sense no matter who you choose."
Chen Dong thought for a while and said, "Who did Hero Chu choose before?"
"He doesn't choose." The guardian said, "Chu Yingxiong believes that the situation is not yet clear and he doesn't know who will inherit the throne. If he is on the wrong side, he will be dead in the future. It is better to wait and see, so he doesn't decide every time.
Go, don't go to anyone else, just stay in the house, pretending not to know."
"Haha, this guy is quite smart..." Chen Dong said with a smile.
"So, I also hope that you will not go to either side." The guardian said seriously: "There is no need to take sides at this time, it will not be good for you... Of course, this is your personal wish. If you have to go,
I won’t stop you either.”
Chen Dong thought for a while, then grinned and said, "I'm going."
The guardian felt a thump in his heart: "Which side have you decided to go to? You have to think about it."
Chen Dong's smile suddenly became brighter: "Go to both sides."
