Chapter 431: Results of the Competition (Part 2)
"How did you get it?" asked an elder.
"I got it by killing evil demons. There is a place where evil demons often go. I wait for them there and kill one as it comes. But it's a bit dangerous there. I almost died there several times!" Lan Lan said with fear on her face.
Seeing this little girl lying without blinking, Shen Xiang's heart twitched secretly. He knew that Lan Lan was not a vegetarian.
"What place is that?" Wang Quan asked.
"That place is called Linghe, a river full of spiritual energy! I forced it out of an evil demon." Lan Lan said.
This was all told to her by Shen Xiang, but he didn't expect that she would use it so soon. Shen Xiang realized that it was a very stupid thing for him to treat Lan Lan as an innocent girl before.
Wang Quan nodded and returned the demon hearts to Lan Lan. He and the elders did know that there was a spiritual river inside, and they had captured many evil demons there before.
The next one was Wang Quan's eldest disciple, named Sun Xueren, a man with no expression on his face. He looked like a dead person, with a cold look, and he spoke very little. He never looked around and walked very stiffly, but his clothes were the most gorgeous among Wang Quan's four disciples, with many glowing rings on his fingers.
"Sun Xue Ren, eighty of them!" Wang Quan shouted. This was his own apprentice. He and the elders just took a casual glance and gave him a perfunctory inspection.
This made Lan Lan and Shen Xiang secretly despise in their hearts. The same was true for Gu Dongchen and other strong men standing by. They all saw that there must be something fishy going on.
The next one was forty-three, and this number also shocked Shen Xiang. Fortunately, he had foresight, and he was also surprised at the strength of those people that they could get so many.
The same was true for Lan Lan. She only got twenty-eight. If Shen Xiang hadn't lent her so many, she might have been at the bottom.
Fifty, forty-eight, forty-five, fifty-two...
The next ones were all in the forty or fifty range, which made Shen Xiang and Lan Lan's hearts beat wildly. Before, Shen Xiang only planned to get by with more than fifty, and Lan Lan was even more worried, as she was only twenty-eight!
And these people were interrogated one by one about how they got those demon hearts.
"Mo Tian! Eighty-three!" an elder shouted in shock. Wang Quan also looked solemn. If someone could get so many, he might be the one who killed his apprentice.
Wang Quan and the elders carefully examined the demon hearts. Soon, the faces of the elders and Wang Quan changed. Although they appeared calm, the anger in Wang Quan's eyes could not be concealed.
"There are marks left by you on these demon hearts, right? Before going in, you gave those four guys fifty demon hearts each! That's right, I killed one of your apprentices. There was nothing I could do. He wanted to kill me. I just did what a normal person would do." Mo Tian said lightly.
Mo Tian was a young man with an unremarkable appearance, but at this moment, he made Shen Xiang admire him very much. He actually dared to admit it and even slapped the Shenwu Palace with a loud slap.
"You..." Wang Quan was so angry that he couldn't speak, but he couldn't do anything because the fact that they helped the four disciples to cheat had been seen by the strong men next to him.
"Elder Ding said that conflicts inside are allowed. I killed your third disciple and obtained fifty demon hearts from him, which are also mine! If you want to deal with it according to the rules, I will accept it." Mo Tian continued, not afraid of the royal power at all.
Shen Xiang guessed that this man named Mo Tian must have a very powerful backer.
"Hmph!" Wang Quan suppressed the anger in his heart. It was obvious that he was very concerned about the person behind Mo Tian. He exchanged those demon hearts with Mo Tian.
Now it was Shen Xiang's turn. He was also the focus of the most attention at the scene. In order to appear very low-key, Shen Xiang only took out sixty demon hearts, which just ranked him fourth, behind Lan Lan.
After Wang Quan and the others checked, they did not find any marks left by them, which surprised them. Mo Tian also frowned and was very confused. He thought that Shen Xiang would have a fight with Wang Quan's disciples in there.
It is very impressive that he got sixty demon hearts by his own ability!
"How did you do it?" asked Elder Ding.
"Why do you ask me when I got sixty? Why didn't you ask when the eldest disciple of the Lord of the Divine Martial Palace got eighty? Don't you think you are shameless? You blatantly cheated, in order for the four disciples of the Lord of the Divine Martial Palace to take the top four. When they entered, you gave them a lot of demon hearts. Now that three of them are dead, they want to see who killed them, right? Anyone with a normal brain can see it!" Shen Xiang said doubtfully.
"Chen Xiang, stop talking nonsense! You need evidence to support your words!" Wang Quan said coldly. As long as there is no evidence, the Shenwu Palace can be lazy.
Chen Xiang shook his head and said: "I really don't have any evidence."
"How did you get these sixty demon hearts? If you tell us in more detail, it will help our Shenwu Hall understand the activities of the evil demons inside. We let you in also to conduct an investigation." Wang Quan asked. He would not tolerate him without evidence.
This made the other strong men secretly curse his shamelessness.
"I set up an illusion array and used a large amount of Hundred Beast Pills to lure the evil monsters." Shen Xiang said lightly.
"Where was the magic array set up?" Wang Quan was very suspicious. Although he could not see anything wrong with those demon hearts, he strongly suspected that Shen Xiang had killed his disciples, because the whereabouts of two of his disciples' demon hearts were still unknown.
"A canyon full of black trees." Shen Xiang replied.
"Hmph, that's called the Black Forest Canyon, the only way to the Spirit River. If you intercept her there, there's no way Lan Lan will be able to get seventy-eight demon hearts! You're lying!" Wang Quan sneered.
This surprised Lan Lan, because Shen Xiang was telling the truth. She secretly cursed Shen Xiang for being a fool, which actually conflicted with her lies.
The other strong men were also secretly surprised. If Shen Xiang also killed one of Wang Quan's disciples, it would indeed be a great pleasure.
Chen Xiang shook his head and sighed: "It took me many days to set up the illusion array. While setting it up, I did find many evil monsters passing by, but I didn't take action. Moreover, the energy of my illusion array is limited, and it can only be used for a very short time. I set it up in the last two days."
"Just when the game was almost over, a very strong evil demon entered the illusion array with more than fifty subordinates. I activated the illusion array at that time, trapped these guys, and then defeated them one by one. However, the leading evil demon was too strong and consumed the power of my illusion array, but he was still seriously injured by my illusion array!"
"In the end, I had a fierce battle with the leader. The canyon was destroyed during our fight. If you don't believe me, go and see!"
At this time, Lan Lan said: "When the game was almost over, I did feel a lot of movement, a dragon's roar, an earthquake, very similar to this guy's fighting style."
