Shao Yushan shook his head at Jiao Zhiming’s question. "I don’t know what to do either. This situation has gone far beyond our expectations."
"Should we send a message back?" Jiao Zhiming asked.
"Send it. Send it right now! Tell them everything we know, everything we’ve seen! It seems our mission has run into unprecedented trouble this time!" Shao Yushan said, his expression turning incredibly grave as he stared at Tang Yi in the distance.
Hearing this, Jiao Zhiming immediately took out a palm-sized Jade Pendant. He made a few gestures over it and muttered a few words. The Jade Pendant flashed with light before dimming again.
The message had been sent, but as for when it would reach their leader, neither Shao Yushan nor Jiao Zhiming knew...
After all, Xiaofu was busy with a "major event" in his life...
Tang Yi placed the corpse of the Fire Scorpion Giant Frog before the candidates of the Three Major Zones, eliciting looks of shock and fear. Then, he spoke to them coldly, "Alright, I’ve helped you with what you wanted. Now, it’s time to settle the score between us."
Hearing this, Shao Yushan’s and Jiao Zhiming’s faces were the first to show awkward expressions.
When they had called Tang Yi and the others over for help, they had only wanted a few more scapegoats to block the Demon Beast’s attacks. They never actually expected Tang Yi’s group to help kill the Demon Beast.
But to their surprise, Tang Yi had actually stepped in to help, and he had even managed to kill the Fire Scorpion Giant Frog.
This was not only humiliating for them, but it also felt like they had been slapped in the face...
As for the "score" Tang Yi mentioned... Tang Yi had arrived later. They didn’t understand what score there could be between them and Tang Yi. Other than Shao Yushan telling him to come over and help kill the Demon Beast, what else was there?
’Did he hold a grudge just because we called him over to help kill the Demon Beast?’
’Isn’t that a bit too tyrannical?’
Just then, Tang Yi beckoned to Tang Piaomiao, Tang Baijie, and Fan Wei, signaling them to come over.
When the three of them reached his side, Tang Yi pointed at them and declared, "You coerced my North District candidates into joining your alliance, used them as bait, and sent them into danger, causing more than twenty North District candidates to die at the hands of Demon Beasts. Candidates of the Three Major Zones, tell me, how should we settle this debt! If this account isn’t settled clearly, heh, no one is leaving here alive today!"
Tang Yi’s tone was incredibly chilling, making the skin of the Three Major Zones’ candidates crawl.
At this moment, anyone could understand the threat in Tang Yi’s words.
Everyone knew that Tang Yi had no intention of letting the candidates of the Three Major Zones off easy.
Of course, given the power Tang Yi had just displayed, the candidates of the Three Major Zones didn’t think he was joking. A single look at the Fire Scorpion Giant Frog’s corpse was all the proof they needed. He had the strength to back up his words!
What were a few hundred candidates! A Demon Beast that several hundred candidates couldn’t handle was killed by Tang Yi alone.
In other words, Tang Yi could also kill several hundred candidates!
Meanwhile, hearing Tang Yi’s domineering declaration, Tang Piaomiao, Tang Baijie, and Fan Wei all puffed out their chests, filled with pride. With someone like him standing up for them, how could they not vent the resentment in their hearts?
’Hmph, the candidates of the Three Major Zones dared to target our North District? They’re about to get what they deserve!’
The three of them sneered inwardly.
After hearing Tang Yi’s words, all the candidates from the Three Major Zones broke into a clamor of discussion. They debated how to face Tang Yi and what kind of explanation to give him. After a long five-minute discussion, Shao Yushan and Jiao Zhiming were sent out as representatives to talk to Tang Yi.
"How do you want to settle this? I know it was wrong of us to strong-arm your North District candidates into joining this operation, but we absolutely did not resort to a despicable tactic like using them as bait. Everyone who joined the alliance was treated fairly, and the dangers faced were equal. We absolutely did not target any specific district!" Shao Yushan said to Tang Yi.
"That’s a load of fucking bullshit!"
Tang Piaomiao exploded with rage upon hearing Shao Yushan’s words. "Equal? Fair? If it was fair, why would you make our North District, with just over thirty people and the weakest strength, responsible for an entire direction by ourselves? Isn’t that the same as making us lure the Demon Beast? What is that if not sending us to our deaths? And you have the nerve to talk about fairness? Ptui!"
"Hey, my friend, you can’t put it like that. There are four major zones, and each zone’s candidates were responsible for one direction. What’s wrong with that? How is that not fair? Besides, it’s not like you were the only ones attacked by the Demon Beast. We were attacked too! It’s just that our losses weren’t as severe as yours. You suffered heavy casualties from the Demon Beast attack, but you can’t blame us for your lack of strength!" Jiao Zhiming also stepped forward to argue.
"You!"
Tang Piaomiao pointed at Jiao Zhiming, his expression filled with absolute fury. He had seen shameless people before, but never anyone this shameless!
’To think they could justify sending people to their deaths!’
Beside him, Tang Baijie and Fan Wei’s faces had also turned pale, completely out of anger!
’So many of our people died, and they dare say it was because we were weak!’
How could they endure this? How could they face their fallen brothers from the North District?
"You beasts..."
"Enough!"
Tang Piaomiao and the others wanted to say more, but at that moment, Tang Yi held out his hand, stopping Tang Piaomiao from speaking further.
"Hmph!"
Seeing Tang Yi intervene, Tang Piaomiao snorted and turned his head away.
Tang Yi shook his head, ignoring the impulsive Tang Piaomiao. Instead, he continued to look at Shao Yushan and Jiao Zhiming, the representatives sent by the Three Major Zones. As he looked at them, he faintly sensed that something was off. ’Their auras... they seem a bit strong, don’t they?’
That’s right. The auras of these two candidates wearing West District attire were dozens of times stronger than the candidates around them!
’In other words, their strength is dozens of times greater than the other candidates?’
’Although there’s a gap between geniuses and ordinary candidates, it shouldn’t be this huge!’
’How could candidates of the same exam have strength ten times greater than the others?’
’And it wasn’t just one person. Both of the West District candidates before him were exuding auras more than ten times stronger than the candidates next to them.’
’Could it be that, like me, they also have a system?’
’Of course, that’s impossible!’
’Something’s not right with these two candidates!’
Tang Yi instantly came to a conclusion. Then, while no one was paying attention, his hand twitched slightly, and he cast two Celestial Eye Techniques at the two West District candidates.
Instantly, some astonishing information appeared. Name: Shao Yushan (Heaven-Devouring Sect Disciple)
Level: 41 (One-star Battle King) Cultivation Technique: Golden Crow Scripture (Profound Tier Upper Grade)
Martial Techniques: Prajna Palm (Profound Tier Upper Grade), White Tiger Slash (Earth Tier Lower Grade), Seal of Formlessness (Earth Tier Middle Grade)...
Weapons: Surprise Wave Flame Blade, Traceless Void Flying Needle Evaluation: Utterly weak (The opponent is pathetically weak compared to the Player and cannot even Resist a single attack.)
