1745 Leisure
Outside the holy hall, Miao Yang and the other elders in the clan waited quietly. Their gazes were all on the holy hall.
The bright sunlight landed on the roof and reflected an elegant and brilliant light—solemn, stern, and holy!
“I wonder how many of them will have a twist of fate this time…”
“Miao Shen is considered the most outstanding one amongst the younger generation, right? I don’t dare to talk about the others, but Miao Shen… will definitely succeed!”
!!“Hah, how can fate be definite? In the past, there were also average ones that obtained extremely incredible twists of fate, right? I think that before they come out, the results can’t be confirmed!”
The crowd debated softly.
At the side, an elder looked at Miao Yang, smiled, and asked, “Clan Leader, is there anyone you think highly of?”
Miao Yang smiled faintly. “They’re right. Nobody could be certain of what’s happening until the last minute.”
At such times, his attitude was always more conservative. The crowd was long used to it and disregarded it.
Miao Yang watched for a while and suddenly leaned his head to ask, “Oh right, have the few people outside Godly Dragon Island left?”
That elder hurriedly said, “The people below previously reported that they had left. As you were busy activating the holy hall, we didn’t have the time to tell you.”
Miao Yang moved his brows slightly. “That red-gold heavenly phoenix… also left?”
That elder nodded in affirmation. “They personally witnessed those people leaving. Besides, I’ve already instructed them to tighten their patrols and defenses. They won’t allow anyone to come near the Godly Dragon Island again. Don’t worry about it.”
Miao Yang nodded, but he still had some doubts. Since that red-gold heavenly phoenix is Shangguan Yue’s legendary fiend, how could she really just leave? According to what Rong Xiu said earlier, the red-gold heavenly phoenix and the rest should’ve also followed them from the God-Killing Tumulus. The journey was long and arduous, yet they were sent off with this one sentence?
He paused and then ordered, “Send more people to watch it closely. Before the Thousand Summit ends, there shouldn’t be any more mishaps.”
“Yes!”
Miao Yang’s lips moved.
Originally, he wanted to send some people to investigate that red-gold heavenly phoenix’s background and find out what exactly happened during the red-gold heavenly phoenix’s ancestral ceremony. But upon deeper thought, he still suppressed these thoughts.
It was now the most important time of the Thousand Summit, and he really couldn’t spare any time to care about these things. Besides, one just had to casually think to know that Yi Zhao definitely had his own plans since he had sealed the news so tightly.
If he didn’t want to let others know about it, nobody could find out.
At such a time, there was no need to go head-on against Yi Zhao.
At this point, he saw a figure quickly coming over from the corner of his eyes. That was one of the guards who went to escort Shangguan Yue and Rong Xiu.
“Greetings, Clan Leader!” That person directly walked to Miao Yang and respectfully greeted the latter.
Miao Yang nodded. “You may rise. How are the two of them? Are there any abnormal reactions?”
The guard looked down and answered, “Nope.”
Miao Yang’s expression changed slightly. “Really?”
The guard nodded. “After reaching Seven Lotus Peak, we went to open the barrier, and the two of them directly went in. They didn’t say much, and it looked… very normal.”
Miao Yang was silent for a moment. Seven Lotus Peak was a very special area in Godly Dragon Island. The two of them must’ve detected something amiss when they went over. However, why don’t they have any reaction at all?
Countless thoughts flashed across Miao Yang’s mind, but his expression was as calm and gentle as normal. “Just continue watching then. If there’s anything amiss, report to me immediately.”
“Yes!”
…
A day passed quickly.
The crowd outside the holy hall was still waiting quietly.
Suddenly, a ripple came from the holy hall!
The crowd looked up in unison. Then, they saw the door slam wide open, and a figure flew out from within!
Thump!
That person fell onto the floor heavily and looked pained. Following this, the door slammed shut.
The entire process was as smooth as water.
Quite a few people looked disappointed.
The elder in the white robe standing before the door boomed, “Miao Shang, eliminated!”
Hearing this, that young man revealed looks of indignation and humiliation. I was actually the first one to be eliminated…
Countless gazes from the surroundings landed on him, causing him to feel daggers on his back.
He clenched his teeth, endured the pain, and stood up. Then, he bowed at the holy hall before retreating in defeat.
Everyone in the clan only had one chance in their lives to enter the holy hall and look for a twist of fate. He ended up with nothing this time, and in the future, he would probably be…
The fiercely burning hope was suddenly doused with cold water. Nobody would feel good about it. Besides, he was young and ambitious.
The square was very quiet.
After glancing at that young man, some people nonchalantly retracted their gazes.
This matter was too common for them.
Normally, this last stage usually took the longest time. During this process, those who didn’t receive any heirlooms or twists of fate would be gradually eliminated.
This was just the beginning; it took about a month from the day it started till it truly ended.
Only a day had passed, and there was much waiting to do.
Miao Yang looked gentle. “Go back and cultivate properly. You might still have a chance to succeed.”
That young man looked better, and he bowed toward Miao Yang gratefully.
Even though the clan leader had a distinguished status, he was always kind to them. Even toward those people who weren’t adequate, he never despised them. This caused many people in the clan to be more respectful toward him.
Of course, there were also a minority of elders who had once raised objections and felt that the great phoenix dragons—ancient legendary fiends—should use bloodline power and true capabilities to decide one’s status.
However, Miao Yang was the clan leader after all; they didn’t dare to be overboard. After some advice and seeing that Miao Yang was still in this state, they swiftly decided not to bring it up again.
Miao Yang looked in the direction of Seven Lotus Peak. A day has passed, but the duo has no commotion. I wonder what’s going on now… Can they really be so calm after being locked in there?
Miao Yang knitted his brows but quickly returned to normal. He then retracted his gaze and refocused on the holy hall. Anyway… there will be a day when they can no longer endure it.
…
Seven Lotus Peak.
Inside the cave.
Chu Liuyue and Rong Xiu sat opposite each other.
In the middle was a chessboard outlined with bright lines. On the chessboard, the two parties went at each other’s throats!
After these people realized that this place was an illusion, they didn’t think about going out and directly played chess here!
Chu Liuyue held her chin with one hand, and her thin and slender fingers lightly knocked against her chin as she stared at the chessboard closely. After a moment, her eyes lit up, and she made a move!
