Chapter 125
“Uh … where am I?
Heaven?
Hell? ”
Two hundred miles to the north of Sha Di City, there was a soft murmur that suddenly echoed. This voice sounded very familiar.
“I didn’t die!
I didn’t die!
Hahaha! ”
The murmur vanished for a moment, and a black figure burst out from the underbrush of the mountain. At the same time, this black figure let out an unbridled and hearty laughter. It was the ecstatic laughter of someone who had just survived a calamity.
This black figure was carrying a giant black wooden sword. Apart from Xiao Chen, who else could it be?
That’s right!
After Xiao Chen was struck by the purple light from the mysterious stone coffin, he lost consciousness. When he woke up, he appeared in a mountain valley that was a thousand miles away from the Black Forest on the west side of Sha Di City. This matter was very mystical and unbelievable, but it had indeed happened.
If it was related to that mysterious and terrifying black stone coffin, this matter became reasonable.
“I wonder how far is this place from Sha Di City?
I hope it is not too far away. Otherwise, the Big Hunting Competition will be over. ”
Although Xiao Chen had fainted, his instincts told him that he would not be unconscious for too long. His clothes, which were soaked in cold sweat, were still wet, and the ground he had been lying on was dry. Therefore, he would only be unconscious for the time it took for half an incense stick to burn.
Xiao Chen touched his body and realized that the high-grade cores were still there. He instantly let out a sigh of relief. This was the key for him to become the champion. It would be troublesome if he lost them.
After sheathing the wooden sword back into the sword sheath, Xiao Chen began to run quickly. He wanted to find someone as soon as possible and ask them where he was.
Then, he would choose the right direction and rush towards Sha Di City.
Lady Luck was still on Xiao Chen’s side. After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Xiao Chen met a woodcutter, who told him that he was about two hundred miles away from Sha Di City, and he was still in the north.
Although Xiao Chen was surprised that he had magically appeared so far away from the Dark Forest, this wasn’t something he could think about at all, so he decisively gave up.
Xiao Chen looked up at the sun in the sky and estimated the time. There should be three hours before the sun sets. With his running speed, it would only take him a little more than two hours to cover the distance of two hundred miles. Although there was still plenty of time, Xiao Chen did not dare to delay and immediately ran towards the south.
…
The teams searching for Xiao Chen’s whereabouts in the Sha Emperor City had already left the city, heading towards the Black Forest.
At the same time, the City Lord’s Mansion was also very lively because the Big Hunting Competition was in full swing.
Although Xiao Chen’s disappearance had shaken the Sha Emperor City, many of the participating Young Masters were hoping that Xiao Chen would disappear forever. That way, not only would there be no one to suppress them, but there would also be one less formidable person to compete with them for the rankings.
The prize for the champion was the priceless Dragon Heart Grass. All the participating Young Masters wanted to get their hands on the Dragon Heart Grass so that they could become the second Sha Bugui and quickly reach the Blood Bear Realm, becoming a young expert.
Sha Bufan wanted the Dragon Heart Grass, Sha Buwen also wanted the Dragon Heart Grass, and Ji Haoyue wanted the Dragon Heart Grass even more.
At this time, hundreds of people had gathered in the City Lord’s Mansion, including ninety-five participants. However, because of Xiao Chen’s disappearance, Liu Ruyue had withdrawn from the competition, and Zhao Yuhan had returned to the Zhao Family in fear. Zhu Geming and Xu Da had followed their family members to the Black Forest to look for Xiao Chen again.
Sha Potian did not appear in the City Lord’s Mansion. He had been staying in the Sha Family’s backyard without going out.
At this time, the Sha Family’s Grand Elder, Sha Potian, was presiding over the Big Hunting Competition and the award ceremony. The Second Elder, Sha Potian, was assisting him. Each of the Sha Emperor City’s eight major families had sent out an elder to evaluate the participants together with Sha Potian and Sha Potian.
There were ninety-five participants and nineteen teams. The team captains handed over the Wild Beast Core that each team had obtained to the judging elders. Then, they waited excitedly for the evaluation results, hoping that their team would get a good ranking.
“Congratulations on killing the First Young Master, Second Young Master, Seventh Young Master, and Young Mistress Sha. The champion of this Big Hunting Competition will definitely belong to our team!”
The young master from the Li Family, who had formed a team with three young masters and a young mistress from the Sha Family, congratulated Sha Buhui and the other three with a charming smile.
“Isn’t that obvious?
It’s the same result every year. How boring. “Sha Bufan said arrogantly. He had a matter-of-fact expression on his face. He was very arrogant.
Sha Buhui didn’t say anything. A warm smile hung on his handsome face. Xiao Chen’s seemingly dead disappearance had restored his demeanor as the Sha Emperor City’s number one young master, attracting the attention of countless young mistresses.
Sha Buhui hid a dagger behind his smile. He was considering if he should compete with Sha Bufan for the Dragon Heart Grass, but he eventually decided to give up.
It wasn’t that he was being generous, but that he was forced by the situation. The Second Elder was Sha Bufan’s father. The Great Elder and the Second Elder were in the same boat. Sha Buhui was weaker than his father, the Seventh Elder. There was no way he could compete with Sha Bufan and his father. Hence, he could only endure it.
Sha Buhui didn’t have her usual arrogance and liveliness. She had become sad and quiet. Her eyes were lifeless, and no one knew what she was thinking about.
“Cough, cough!”
At the front of the hall, Dragon Kill suddenly coughed twice to attract everyone’s attention. Then, he announced in a majestic manner, “All participating teams!
The evaluation results are out. Listen carefully! ”
“Swish!”
All the participants looked at Dragon Kill’s face. They were waiting excitedly for Dragon Kill to announce the ranking results.
Other than Sha Buhui, everyone else was coveting the first place prize, the Dragon Heart Grass. Of course, the second and third place prizes weren’t bad either. The second place prize was a Fifth Grade Desolate Sword, which was very good. The third place prize was an armor made from the skin of a Fifth Grade Desolate Beast, which was also very good.
“First, I will announce the third place winner. The third place winner is Situ Nan’s team. Situ Nan’s representative, please come forward to receive your prize!
The prize is a Fifth Grade Armor and 50,000 purple coins. Everyone, please give it a round of applause! “Dragon Kill announced the third place winner.
“Clap, clap, clap!”
Situ Nan proudly ran up to receive his prize. After receiving his prize, he respectfully bowed to Dragon Kill and said, “Thank you, Lord Kill!”
“Alright, you may go down.”
Dragon Kill nodded his head in satisfaction and signaled for Situ Nan to step down. Then, he announced the second place winner, “Next, I will announce the second place winner!
The second place winner is Ji Haoyue’s team. Ji Haoyue, please come forward to receive your prize!
The prize is a Fifth Grade Desolate Sword and 80,000 purple coins! ”
When Ji Haoyue heard that he was the second place winner, he didn’t seem too satisfied. However, he had learned his lesson and didn’t show it on his face. He maintained a confident smile on his face as he walked forward to receive his prize. Then, he respectfully said, “Thank you, Lord Kill, for your generosity!”
“Alright, nephew, you may go.”
Compared to Situ Nan, Dragon Kill seemed to think more highly of Ji Haoyue. It seemed that Ji Haoyue had awakened the Golden Armor God’s Gift and was now valued by the Sha Family.
When Ji Haoyue heard this, he straightened his back even more and smiled brightly. Then, he took his prize and walked down the stage.
The third and second place winners had been announced. Now, it was time to announce the champion. All of the young masters and ladies who didn’t receive any prizes looked at Dragon Kill and began to breathe heavily. However, they all knew that the champion would be from the Sha Family again.
As expected!
Killing Dragon swept his gaze across the crowd before his eyes finally landed on the face of his proudest son, Regretless Kill. His solemn face revealed a kind and doting look as he smiled and said, “Now, this Elder will announce the champions. The champions are Regretless Kill’s group!
The prize is a Dragon Heart Grass and 100,000 purple coins!
Now, Kill Without Regrets will come forward to receive his prize!
Everyone, please give him a round of applause! ”
“Clap, clap, clap!”
Although everyone was unhappy, they still clapped hard and didn’t stop. They weren’t afraid of clapping until their hands were swollen. No one dared to question or look down on the Sha Family. Of course, there was an exception, and that exception was Xiao Chen.
“Thank you, everyone!”
Kill Without Regrets began to walk forward with a warm and gentle smile on his face. As he walked, he nodded at everyone who was clapping. He was elegant and handsome.
“Wait!
I’m back. It’s not Kill Without Regrets’s turn yet. The championship belongs to me! ”
Just as Sha Buhui was about to receive the black sandalwood box containing the Dragonheart Grass and the stack of purple gold notes, an extremely cold voice came from outside the door, immediately attracting the attention of everyone in the hall.
