... After reading the information on these two West District examinees, Tang Yi was incredibly surprised. He froze on the spot.
No wonder their auras were stronger than the other examinees nearby. It turned out their strength had reached the Battle King Level!
’They’re just examinees, yet they already have the strength of a Battle King? Is their Talent really that good?’
And also...
’Disciples of the Heaven-Devouring Sect?’
’They actually have another identity listed after their names—disciples of the Heaven-Devouring Sect?’
’They aren’t examinees for the West Mansion?’
Faintly, Tang Yi could smell a conspiracy in this information.
After that, he casually used the Celestial Eye Technique on examinees from the other Three Major Zones. The information on everyone else was normal. There were no other identities listed after their names, and the highest Level was only at the Battle Grandmaster Level.
In other words, aside from these two examinees from the West District, there was nothing wrong with the examinees from the other Three Major Zones. The only ones with a problem were those two!
’Who are these two?’
’And what kind of influence is the Heaven-Devouring Sect?’
A series of questions left Tang Yi bewildered.
’Could they be spies who have infiltrated the West Mansion?’
Thinking of this possibility, Tang Yi could instantly connect all the dots.
’That’s it. Only spies sent by another influence would have this kind of strength. Otherwise, how could two mere examinees possibly reach the Battle King Level?’
’If they already have the strength of a Battle King, what’s the point of entering as an examinee?’
Of course, Tang Yi felt he was one of a kind. He had only come to the West Mansion because he was asked to. Otherwise, with his strength, he wouldn’t have bothered entering.
But these disciples from the Heaven-Devouring Sect, what were they doing here? What was their objective?
Tang Yi was still completely in the dark. However, no matter what they were doing or what their objective was, sneaking in disguised as examinees was definitely not for any good reason! Now that Tang Yi had run into them, he wouldn’t let these two off easy!
Besides, even if these two weren’t a problem, he was going to make trouble for the examinees from the Three Major Zones anyway!
Tang Yi pondered for a moment before finally looking up. He spoke forcefully to Shao Yushan and Jiao Zhiming, "Regardless of whether you used our North District examinees as bait, and regardless of whether you targeted them, the fact remains that examinees from your Three Major Zones forced our North District examinees to do something against their will. Therefore, you must give us an explanation, no matter what! Or else..."
"What kind of explanation do you want?" Shao Yushan frowned, extremely displeased with Tang Yi’s attitude.
In his capacity as a disciple of the Heaven-Devouring Sect, when had he ever been threatened by a mere Martial Artist from the Four Great Domains?
And a low-status examinee at that. If Shao Yushan wasn’t trying to hide his identity, and if this examinee wasn’t so powerful, he would have felt the urge to strike him dead.
This was just too arrogant!
"My demand is simple! Originally, for doing such a terrible thing to our North District examinees, you all should have been executed to serve as a warning. But because I am merciful and unwilling to shed more blood, I’ve decided to spare you. As long as every examinee from your Three Major Zones crushes their Help Stone and withdraws from this House Entrance Examination, I will let you live!" Tang Yi declared imperiously.
"What?"
"You want all of us to crush our Help Stones and withdraw? There are hundreds of us examinees here!"
"Forcing hundreds of us to crush our Help Stones and withdraw at once is just too overbearing!"
"Brother, I admit your strength is greater than ours, and I admit I used to look down on the North District examinees, but to demand that so many of us crush our Help Stones and give up on entering the West Mansion... that request is too outrageous. Forgive us, but the examinees of the Three Major Zones cannot do that!"
"I’m not crushing my Help Stone. I’d rather die than crush it. Don’t try to scare us with that!"
"Hmph! Just as expected of a North District examinee. The moment you gain a little strength, you become arrogant and conceited! So what if you’re strong? With a character like that, you’ll never amount to anything!"
"I won’t agree to it, anyway!"
"I don’t agree either!"
"By the way, the one that killed their North District examinees was that Demon Beast, not us. On what grounds should we be the ones to give them an explanation?"
"That’s right! We were all fighting the Demon Beast on equal footing. When they died, they can only blame their own lack of strength. Besides, when we asked the North District examinees to join our alliance, they didn’t say a damn thing. And now that some are dead, it’s suddenly our fault?"
... Hearing Tang Yi’s demand, the examinees from the Three Major Zones all voiced their opinions. But among the hundreds of them present, not a single one agreed to his request. Everyone felt that Tang Yi’s demand was utterly unreasonable.
Withdraw from the Little Extreme Sacred Land? That would be crushing their hopes!
And since it was crushing their hopes, how was that any different from killing them? No one would ever agree to that!
Hearing the resounding objections from the examinees of the Three Major Zones, Shao Yushan smiled. "My friend, you’ve heard them. The examinees from our Three Major Zones will not agree to your request. It’s too outrageous. Why don’t you ask for something else? I admit that our examinees did some excessive things, but it’s not to the extent that we should have to withdraw from the House Entrance Examination. You can’t just make wild demands and put us in a difficult position!"
"That’s right, my friend. Make a request that we can actually fulfill, and we can satisfy you. After all, we were in the wrong first. But making us withdraw from the House Entrance Examination is the one thing we can’t do! This is the hope of all us examinees!" Jiao Zhiming also spoke up.
"Heh, I’m not making a request to you, you know. And besides, you’re not worthy of me making requests to you!"
Tang Yi sneered, then said disdainfully, "I’m giving you a choice! Two paths are available: one of life, one of death. All you have to do is choose! Since you’re unwilling to withdraw from the House Entrance Examination, it means you’re unwilling to choose the path of life. So, you’re choosing the path of death, then?"
As he spoke, Tang Yi unleashed an incomparably powerful aura. The moment it erupted, a fierce wind howled, and the very sky seemed to change color.
The examinees from the Three Major Zones felt as if a great mountain was pressing down on them. Their bodies grew heavy, and their breathing became labored.
The gazes they directed at Tang Yi became filled with terror.
"You... You’re being too tyrannical!"
An examinee pointed at Tang Yi in terror.
"Oh? You haven’t seen what ’truly tyrannical’ looks like yet!"
Hearing this, Tang Yi sneered. His figure flickered and vanished from the spot.
