Three names...
Consort Ning is just one of them?
At this moment, when the tide of the three giants inexplicably weakened, many people felt a sudden relief from the pressure and heard Shen Qian's words.
Some people were bewildered, while many others turned pale at the mention of it.
Even the nine people on the stone pillar had different expressions and looked each other over.
What else could these three names be?
Clearly, Shen Qian was referring to the three behind-the-scenes figures who brewed this storm and truly orchestrated the purge of the Jiangzhong military.
There is no doubt about Consort Ning, who has already passed away.
She was the youngest daughter of the Duke of Tianning, and thus possessed a powerful appeal. Not to mention, on that day at the Marquis of Luoshen Manor, her hatred for Shen Qian was almost visibly intense.
But judging from Shen Qian's eyes and tone, there are two more people hiding even deeper.
These two people were actually standing among the nine, and were peerless geniuses from the Nine Heavens Ranking!
In an instant, the atmosphere on the battlefield became even more eerie. Many people were suddenly jolted out of the horror of Ning Zhaoyi's fall and just stared blankly at Shen Qian.
What else does he want to do after saying those words?
Killing the youngest daughter of a top-ranking nobleman was not enough?
On the stone pillar, Wu Yi suddenly narrowed his eyes and said, "Shen Qian, there's something you might not know. Under the restrictions of the Law of Life, it's extremely difficult to raise offspring at the level of a King or Marquis, especially a top-tier King or Marquis. Duke Tianning has been a King or Marquis for two hundred years, yet he only has one son and one daughter, and Consort Ning is his most beloved..."
"Wu Yi, you are the second name."
Just as Wu Yi was explaining the pros and cons to Shen Qian, Shen Qian suddenly fixed his gaze on him and calmly uttered a sentence.
But after just this one sentence, Wu Yi couldn't continue.
The heavens and earth seemed to have become still and quiet.
Everyone immediately turned their attention to Wu Yi.
Although everyone had expected it to be one of the nine people, no one expected that... it would be Wu Yi.
Many people initially speculated that it was more likely to be Cao Yi or Bai Fei.
The grudges and entanglements between Jiang Zhongjun and Su Kewu are well-known, and many people now know that Bai Fei and Shen Qian have fought each other before.
As for Cao Yi... his younger brother Cao Qian had just been defeated by Zhao Keyi of Jiangzhong Military Force, for the same reason.
Wu Yi was the only exception; he and Shen Qian had absolutely no connection.
Although Shen Qian publicly called him out, Wu Yi did not look embarrassed. He just remained silent for a moment and then shook his head and said, "Shen Qian, I respect your background and your talent, but I have to say... you are still too young."
"What do you mean?" Shen Qian asked calmly.
"Textbooks often say that martial arts leads to the heavens, but they rarely mention that it is actually a narrow bridge!"
Wu Yi seemed to have let loose as well, his voice becoming much louder and clearly audible throughout the rift valley, "Before you sank, you alone garnered the glory of the Golden List of a thousand people, taking away other people's opportunities as if you were killing their parents. Do you really think that others will let it go so easily?"
"Besides, this is the arena for the battle of the Nine Heavens. We're not here to play house. So what if you, Jiang Zhongjun, are the one who loses out to everyone!"
It must be said that Wu Yi's words were resounding and resonated with many people, who nodded in agreement.
Shen Qian smiled and said, "I agree with your point of view, so I didn't try to reason with you. I received three names. Ning Zhaoyi was the first, and you... are the second."
Upon hearing this, everyone subconsciously glanced at the head still bleeding on the ground, and their expressions turned strange again.
Yes, it seems that Shen Qian never argued with anyone about anything.
From the moment he entered the arena until Ning Zhaoyi's head hit the ground, the entire process would not exceed three minutes.
This is definitely not child's play.
That blood-soaked head was the answer before the sinking.
Now, he has his sights set on Wu Yi.
There's no need for so many reasons. Since Wu Yi dared to do the first thing, Shen Qian can do the fifteenth.
There's no right or wrong, it's just a choice.
Wu Yi seemed stunned for a moment, then looked deeply at Chen Qian, "Since you've made up your mind, I'll only ask you one question: can you bear the possible consequences?"
These words seemed to have a different meaning, but Shen Qian roughly understood what he meant.
Putting aside the already deceased Consort Ning, it almost means that Shen Qian has gained a mortal enemy who can be considered a top-tier king, although... it was already destined long ago that Shen Qian, the Martial Law Department, and the Duke of Tianning were not people he could sit down and have tea with.
Even Wu Yi, who is standing right in front of us, is no simple character.
After the Nine Heavens Ranking, it is no exaggeration to say that, apart from a very few mysterious figures whose origins are truly difficult to ascertain, the backgrounds of the thousand people on the list have been largely revealed.
Of the ten people on the Nine Heavens Ranking, apart from Fang Fan, who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, the rest all had impressive backgrounds.
Wu Yi is the heir of Tenglong, currently the largest legal trading group of monsters in China. It is no exaggeration to say that Tenglong alone controls more than 40% of the monster market in China.
It was a colossal entity that inspired awe and was in no way inferior to kings and nobles.
Not to mention that he himself was also a prince's son, and it is said that he was related to the Duke of Zhengxi by blood.
The background and context behind her are even more complex than those of Consort Ning, who is merely the youngest daughter of the Duke of Tianning.
Even putting all that aside, he himself is a super genius ranked on the Nine Heavens Ranking, and an officially certified Beast Taming Master.
In terms of strength, status, and reputation, he was no less capable than Shen Qian.
