Chapter 431 - 431 431 Who Sent Them to the List

Chapter 431: Chapter 431 Who Sent Them to the List Chapter 431: Chapter 431 Who Sent Them to the List Not to mention that this senior brother of his was taken aback.

The disciples present couldn’t help but break into an uproar as well.

“No way, right?”

“Why does the list keep getting more bizarre?”

“That’s Xue Wanchong, one of the top five powerhouses in the Nine-Sect.”

“He’s only ranked eighth?”

“There must be some mistake!”

Liang Feiyan and Xie Liushu also wore incredulous expressions.

Xie Liushu, bewildered, said, “It’s not a surprise that I didn’t make the top ten.”

“I arrived at Sunset City late, and I had also previously failed a primary task within the territory.”

“But Xue Wanchong… that makes no sense!”

Liang Feiyan was equally puzzled.

“What’s going on here?”

“Who on earth could be ahead of him, pushing so many powerful figures out of the top ten?”

“Am I going to be pushed back too?”

he said, half-jokingly.

Xie Liushu laughed awkwardly: “Brother Liang, stop joking around.”

“Who could possibly shake your third position?”

Hua Xiangchen also wore a gloomy expression: “Brother Liang, please don’t make fun of me.”

“I acknowledge that I was surpassed by several dark horses during my mission due to inadequacies.”

“But the idea that they could surpass Brother Liang is just too exaggerated.”

After all, Liang Feiyan’s battle achievements were incredibly distinguished.

There had hardly been anyone known to surpass him.

Liang Feiyan smiled.

He had been merely joking earlier.

If he was really pushed to the back, how could he face anyone?

He might as well ram his head into a wall and die.

Once again, Luo Dongcheng announced: “Seventh place, Liang Feiyan, two first-level Mysterious tasks, one first-level Earth task, with a total of four hundred merit points.”

What!

This time, the crowd completely erupted!

The previous strange rankings were excusable.

But Liang Feiyan not making the top three and even dropping to seventh place!

Who could accept that?

“There must be a mistake!”

“How could this be possible?”

“With four hundred merit points, he should be second only to Xia Chaoge and Jin Zhongming!”

Liang Feiyan’s body swayed.

A joke had turned into a prophecy!

He had really been pushed back, and to a surprisingly low position!

He clenched his fists, utterly unable to accept this result.

Even Ye Cangyuan’s eyes flickered with astonishment.

He was well aware of the strengths and task completions of the disciples under his charge.

Even if Liang Feiyan couldn’t make the top three, entering the top five should not have been an issue, right?

How did he fall to seventh?

He turned his head to look at the ranking list up close.

Liang Feiyan’s heart welled with hope again.

Could it have been a mistake in the announcement?

However.

After looking, Ye Cangyuan’s expression turned serious: “The rankings are correct.”

“Please remain calm, and wait until all the rankings are read. We can discuss any questions after.”

Liang Feiyan’s heart shattered.

His vision darkened, and he staggered.

Fortunately, Jiang Fan noticed in time and caught him, or he would have fainted in public, really becoming a laughingstock.

Liang Feiyan’s face was pale, and he whispered in gratitude: “Thank you… thank you…”

His voice was hoarse, as if choked by something.

Jin Zhongming watched with disdain: “How pathetic!”

“You can’t even handle this kind of blow!”

Liang Feiyan gritted his teeth: “What are you gloating about, be careful, or you might end up like me!”

Even now, someone was still taunting him.

What kind of person is this!

Jin Zhongming stood with his legs apart, holding the Comparable to Heaven Halberd, exuding immense confidence as he coldly said:

“Relax, I am not like you!”

“In my eyes…”

Just as he was speaking, Luo Dongcheng announced another ranking.

“Sixth place, Jin Zhongming, five first-level Mysterious tasks, five hundred merit points.”

What???

If Liang Feiyan’s ranking caused a stir.

Then Jin Zhongming’s rank caused an earthquake!

“Sixth? Jin Zhongming?”

“Are you kidding?”

“Him, sixth place? What a joke!”

Outsiders were already so shocked.

Let alone the highly confident Jin Zhongming?

With a thud.

The Comparable to Heaven Halberd he was holding fell to the ground with a crash.

His tiger-like eyes shrunk to a needle’s width as he gasped: “Did you say who is sixth?”

“Me?”

“Is that possible? Can you believe it yourselves?”

“Me, Jin Zhongming, sixth? What kind of sick joke is this?”

Ye Cangyuan’s face changed upon hearing this and he scolded: “Silence!”

The list was personally arranged by the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master himself.

Questioning the list was tantamount to questioning the authority of the Pavilion Master.

But internally, he was also thrown into turmoil.

Jin Zhongming ranked sixth.

Truly an unthinkable matter.

He turned his head to look again, shook his head, and said: “The ranking is correct.”

“Again, please remain calm!”

“Once all the rankings are read, you can raise any questions you have.”

But no one could remain calm.

An indisputably powerful figure relegated to sixth place.

Liang Feiyan wanted to mock Jin Zhongming, but he found himself unable to laugh.

This outcome was simply too shocking.

“Who exactly is ahead of us?”

“Could it be that some sect really is secretly raising some super disciples?”

Soon.

Luo Dongcheng announced a name that brought a deathly silence over the entire crowd.

“Fifth place, Qin Caihe, one first-level Heaven task, six secondary tasks, totaling five hundred and twenty merit points.”

The whole place fell silent.

Everyone looked at each other, completely baffled.

“Who is Qin Caihe?”

“Is there such a person among the elite disciples of the Nine-Sect?”

“And moreover, managed to successfully complete a Heaven-level task?”

“Who is this unprecedentedly formidable individual?”

“Up until now, only Xia Chaoge, Jin Zhongming… and perhaps the lucky Jiang Fan have completed Heaven-level tasks!”

“Who is she?”

At this moment.

Liang Feiyan was stunned.

He said uncertainly: “There is a junior sister named Qin Caihe in our Myriad Swords Sect.”

“But she is only at the sixth layer of Foundation Establishment.”

“She doesn’t seem to be related to this strong Qin Caihe.”

A sixth layer of Foundation Establishment?

Then it couldn’t be her.

Ye Cangyuan’s eyebrows twitched.

With a careful recollection, no disciple named Qin Caihe had appeared in Sunset City.

He couldn’t help but look at the information on Qin Caihe behind the list.

As a result, his expression grew even stranger, and he pondered: “This disciple… indeed belongs to the Myriad Swords Sect.”

Ah?

Liang Feiyan’s eyes widened: “Really, truly my junior sister Qin Caihe from the Myriad Swords Sect?”

“This must be a mistake, how could it be her?”

A common disciple like Qin Caihe could be found everywhere in Myriad Swords Sect.

Usually, Liang Feiyan wouldn’t even look at her twice.

Now they were telling him.

That this Qin Caihe had kicked the high-and-mighty chief of Myriad Swords Sect, him, down to seventh place?

Xie Liushu’s eyes widened: “Brother Liang, are you… are you sure your Junior Sister Qin is not a secretly cultivated super disciple?”

“Completing a Heaven-level task, could a sixth layer of Foundation Establishment accomplish that?”

Liang Feiyan didn’t expect that his joke would circle back to him.

He hurriedly said: “If the Myriad Swords Sect had secretly cultivated disciples, as the chief disciple, how could I be unaware?”

“This Junior Sister Qin is truly just a very, very ordinary female disciple.”

Uh—

Everyone was perplexed.

They had thought that someone might be secretly fostering some unparalleled prodigy to push out so many elite disciples from the forefront.

In the end, it turned out to be an obscure little disciple.

Only Jiang Fan, feeling guilty, touched his nose.

For he alone knew the truth behind Qin Caihe’s Heaven-level task.

Luo Dongcheng continued, “Fourth place, Chu Xingmeng, one Heaven-level task, six secondary tasks, two tertiary tasks, with a total of five hundred and thirty merit points.”

Everyone was stunned.

Another name they hadn’t heard before!

“Who’s this disciple from now?”

“Don’t tell me she’s another ordinary disciple!”
