There were a total of six people left.
Everyone's hearts were in their mouths. Although not everyone was present, it was clear that the results were about to be revealed.
Dongfang Xuanxiao, who was sitting in the middle, also opened his eyes and watched calmly as Long Chen and the others entered the courtyard. At this moment, everyone's eyes swept over their arms.
"Three, three, three, all three!"
Even the Supreme Elders were a little surprised when they saw Jin Shengen's team of four.
On Jin Sheng 'en and Chu Yunxi's hands hung three jade crystal bracelets. The other two Jin Clan youths also had three jade crystal bracelets.
The total number of jade crystal bracelets from the two teams was as high as twelve. In other words, basically everyone who entered the Qitian Path had been plundered by them.
"12?"
Jin Luan and Chu Tianxiong were a little stunned. According to their estimations, they should have obtained more.
"Could it be …" When they looked at Long Chen and Yin Mengyao, their eyes immediately widened and filled with shock.
"Three, three!
The two of them each have three bracelets. Together with the other 14, there are a total of 20 bracelets. All of them are here, which means … "
Everyone looked at Yin Mengyao and Long Chen's team in astonishment. Needless to say, Yin Mengyao's strength could at least rank within the top five. Previously, everyone had thought that with Long Chen dragging her down, she wouldn't be able to go far. But now that such a situation had occurred, it was Long Chen who had turned things around.
Long Chen also had three bracelets, which meant that the remaining two youths from the Silver Tribe also had zero points.
This meant that the four teams that had advanced to the next round were already very clear.
Gu Batian's face was also filled with surprise. Gu Gu and Liu Gui from the Purple Tribe had only managed to keep their bracelets, but they had also qualified for the second round!
When they returned from Gu Gu, he had already told them that Long Chen had saved their lives. Therefore, he was the least surprised that Long Chen had achieved such a result.
When they saw the three glittering bracelets on Long Chen's arm, Liu Yuan and Liu Lan were stunned. They looked at each other and saw the disbelief in each other's eyes.
"Three, three …"
That at least meant that they had defeated two teams. Such a result was considered the best result in the Qitian Path's assessment this time.
"This kid Long Chen is really something."
Liu Yuan finally reacted. He stroked his long beard and praised with a smile. His expression was filled with pride.
"Perhaps it's because Yin Mengyao is too strong."
Liu Lan still found it hard to accept. After all, Long Chen's opponents were all abnormal geniuses. Long Chen had just broken through to the Earth Core realm, so how could he achieve such a good result by himself?
"The battle in the Life and Death Cave is the real stage for him to display his strength. I hope he can perform well." Liu Lan was secretly cheering for Long Chen in her heart.
"The battle in the Life and Death Cave is the real stage for him to display his strength. I hope he can perform well." Liu Lan was secretly cheering for Long Chen in her heart.
At this moment, Dongfang Xuanxiao's gaze swept across the twenty participants and said, "The outcome of the battle in the Qitian Path has been decided. It's clear which four teams will advance, so I won't say much. Now, I'll announce the groups for the second round."
Dongfang Xuanxiao was swift and decisive. While everyone was still shocked by Long Chen's performance, he had already begun to announce the groups for the next round. Long Chen and the other eight people who could advance immediately paid close attention.
"The original teams of two will be separated into different groups. The first group will consist of Jin Sheng 'en, Liu Qiong, Liu Gui, and Yin Mengyao!
The rest will be in the second group. "
Yin Mengyao was in the first group, which meant that Long Chen would be in the second group. His opponents would be the youth from the Jin Clan, Gu City from the Purple Clan, and of course, Chu Yunxi from the Green Clan!
After the groups were decided, Chu Yunxi and Long Chen looked at each other. Feeling Chu Yunxi's excited and gloomy gaze, Long Chen only smiled faintly.
This was the result he was looking forward to.
Chu Yunxi had once given him a finger, and he still remembered it in his heart.
"Good luck. One of us must enter the inner clan." Yin Mengyao tilted her head. A confident smile appeared on her beautiful face.
"It's a promise." Long Chen said firmly.
At this moment, Dongfang Xuanxiao continued, "Now that the groups have been decided, you guys can rest for a while. When noon comes, the battle in the Life and Death Cave will officially begin."
"Yes!"
Everyone immediately obeyed Dongfang Xuanxiao's order. Even the Great Elder had to obey obediently.
"Wait."
The Great Elder of the Yin Clan suddenly interrupted. She looked at Yin Mengyao and asked, "Yao 'er, where are Li Feng and Wang Tong?"
Long Chen knew that they would pay attention to this matter. He was the one who killed them, so he naturally admitted it. However, before he could speak, Yin Mengyao spoke first. She said faintly, "I killed them."
His calm tone caused the entire place to become deathly silent. As for the Yin Clan's Supreme Elder, his expression tensed up and turned somewhat gloomy.
The new generation of the Yin Clan was once the most glorious existence among the nine outer clans. But now, only Yin Mengyao was left?
The Great Elder of the Yin Clan knew about the hatred between Yin Mengyao, Li Feng, and Wang Tong. She forbade them from fighting, but she didn't expect that they would still fight to the death on the Qitian Path.
"Forget it, forget it." The Great Elder of the Yin Clan sighed. Her desolate expression made her age quite a bit.
Seeing that she didn't pursue the matter any further, Long Chen heaved a sigh of relief. If he had said that he was the one who killed Li Feng, this old woman definitely wouldn't have let him off. Luckily, Yin Mengyao took the risk and admitted it for Long Chen.
This was just a small interlude. Very soon, everyone left under Dongfang Xuanxiao's arrangement.
Before he left, he threw a provocative glance at Long Chen and made a gesture of cutting his neck.
"Idiot." Long Chen cursed inwardly.
At this moment, the nine outer clans' Great Elders were about to leave with their clansmen. Dongfang Xuanxiao left first. Long Chen looked at his back and said to Yin Mengyao, "Sister Mengyao, is this Lord Xuanxiao very strong?
It seems like even the Great Elder is afraid of him. "
A look of admiration emerged on Yin Mengyao's face as she said, "The Eastern Blue Dragon Clan, under the Clan Chief, there are four great warriors, Feng, Yu, Yun, and Xiao. Lord Xuanxiao is the strongest one, and he's known as the strongest warrior beneath the Heavenly River. Do you think he's strong?"
"Beneath the Heavenly River?" Long Chen suddenly realized something. Could this be the legendary Heavenly River realm that was above the Divine Core realm?
The Heavenly River was one of the eighteen Star Rivers in the sky. A Heavenly River warrior who could use the Star God's energy was an extremely frightening existence. Since Xuan Xiao was known as the strongest warrior beneath the Heavenly River, he must be an abnormal existence.
"Long Chen, I'll leave first. See you at noon."
After Yin Mengyao finished speaking, she left with the Great Elder of the Yin Clan. She probably needed to explain the matter of Li Feng and Wang Tong. Furthermore, she had been poisoned by the snake, so she needed to recuperate for the next four hours before the next battle.
As for the Green Clan, the Chu family members left first, leaving Liu Yuan and Liu Lan standing there in a daze. At this moment, Gu Batian came over with a big smile on his face. He greeted Liu Yuan, then he patted Long Chen's shoulder and said, "Young man, not bad, even I, Old Gu, admire you!"
Liu Yuan and Liu Lan were puzzled by his words.
"Old Gu, what are you talking about?" Liu Yuan asked curiously.
"This young man saved Gu Gu and Liu Gui's lives under the attack of a group of Poisonous Nether Scorpions, he's really amazing."
A grateful look could be seen in Gu Batian's eyes.
Gu Gu was his grandson, and he almost lost his life this time.
The Poisonous Nether Scorpions were fourth-grade Mystic rank poisonous beasts, yet Long Chen was able to save two people from the encirclement of a group of Poisonous Nether Scorpions. Did that mean that his strength was at least on Gu Gu's level?
"Senior Gu, you've said before that it's my duty to take care of each other.
It's not a big deal, if I'm in danger, they'll also help me. "
Long Chen said from the bottom of his heart.
Indeed, Gu Gu and Liu Gui's characters were similar to Gu Batian's. They were both warm-hearted and not bad people.
After the battle at the Heaven Winding Path, Long Chen and the rest needed time to prepare. Gu Batian didn't disturb them and brought them to their own rooms.
The peak of the Life and Death Devil Nest was cold and gloomy. Only after entering the sturdy house built by the Lingwu family did they feel a little warmer.
"Let's see what those two fellows have."
As soon as the door closed, Long Chen revealed his true colors and took out Li Feng and Wang Tong's cosmos bags. This was the first time he killed someone and stole their treasures, so he was a little excited.
"So many divine jades." Seeing so much wealth, Long Chen was excited.
After cleaning for half a day and finally obtaining the data, Long Chen's face was full of smiles.
"Almost four hundred thousand divine jades in total, these two fellows are really rich …"
This was Long Chen's first time killing someone and stealing their treasures. After getting the sweet taste of it, he imagined how rich he would be in the future.
"How many soulherbs can I buy with these divine jades?" Lingxi tilted her head and propped her chin on her arm. Her big eyes blinked as she pondered.
"Let's see if there's anything else!"
Other than the divine jades, there were also a lot of miscellaneous items. In Wang Tong's cosmos bag, there were even some undergarments and other erotic things. However, with the great goddess Lingxi here, a gentleman like Long Chen didn't dare to take a glance.
"Primary mystic class battle skills, middle mystic class battle skills, a bunch of spirit herbs, and a middle mystic class weapon."
Among the other items, there were countless primary mystic class spirit herbs and some middle mystic class ones. The most valuable of them all was a middle mystic class halberd!
This halberd was entirely black and shiny. The tip of the blade was extremely sharp, and it exuded a cold aura.
Long Chen flipped the halberd over and found that there was a divine dragon engraved on the halberd. A divine dragon breathed clouds and mist on the halberd, looking very intimidating.
"This can't be a Blue Dragon Halberd, right?" Lingxi exclaimed.
"Keep daydreaming."
Long Chen flipped the halberd a few times and said, "It's probably a replica, but this halberd is indeed a good weapon. It's the type I like."
"That Mo Xiaolang already got the Sirius Demonic Blade. Why don't you fight for the Blue Dragon Halberd?" Lingxi suddenly said.
