Chapter 815 Preparing for the Competition
The flattery from all directions made Ye Xiaoman feel happy.
She wanted to jump in front of every stranger and loudly announce that the person they were praising was her.
"I heard that Ye Xiaoman won three of the three selections in the human world, and she achieved top grades in each of them."
“Wow, that’s amazing!”
"I heard that the final round of the trial was conducted by Master Bai Xiao himself."
"So how did Ye Xiaoman and Qing Zhengzong win?"
"I don't know. I just heard that Master Bai Xiao and Ye Xiaoman had an in-depth discussion in a secret room for quite some time. Ye Xiaoman was so impressed by Master Bai Xiao that he gave her a perfect score."
"So what did Ye Xiaoman say?"
"I've already said that apart from Sect Master Shi and Ye Xiaoman, no one else knows about it. It's said to be a pretty shocking statement."
"Someone went to ask the Tianyan Sect, and the Tianyan Sect said to ask the Tianji Sect. All the curious people who went to the Tianji Sect to inquire were beaten and kicked out!"
"This is strange. In the past, when selecting people in the human world, they would print out the solutions of the geniuses at each level into a book and announce it to the world for reference and learning. Why are they keeping it so secret this time?"
"I'm so curious."
“…”
Ye Xiaoman's smile gradually disappeared and she became angry and embarrassed.
Can't everyone just blindly worship her instead of digging into the truth?
She feels depressed when she mentions Shi Zaixing now. She has no hope of being selected into the list of candidates for the savior. As for getting close to Shi Zaixing to complete Jing Zhui's mission, it is even more distant. For now, she can only rely on Xiao Chujing's protagonist halo to help her.
Fortunately, Qianjimen has a high status, and the superstitious demons admire Shi Zaixing very much. The outside world generally believes that she won by her personal strength.
After the flying magic weapons of the important figures had passed by, Ye Xiaoman boarded the flying boat and flew from the edge of Chisha City to the city.
After flying for two hours, the flying boat finally arrived in the city.
The core area of the city is guarded by a city wall over a thousand feet high. Before flying boats enter the city gate, they will be stopped by demon soldiers to register their identities. The sect leaders presented the invitation letter from the Demon Lord and were allowed to pass smoothly.
The flying boat flew towards the competition area on the northern outskirts of the city.
There are still two days until the competition.
According to regulations, all accompanying elders and contestants must move into the accommodation area in advance.
The accommodation area is inside the competition area.
Ye Xiaoman and her senior sisters lay on the fence of the flying boat, watching the competition area passing by below.
The rivers and lakes sparkled in the sunset, and the block-shaped Black Rock Castle was looming among the green. There were large tracts of virgin forest, martial arts training grounds, and beast fighting arenas. It also contained the famous Nine Nether Demon Abyss secret realm in the demon world, which would also be open to the geniuses in this competition.
In order to demonstrate fairness and justice, the areas open to the competition were sealed off using magic after the venues were arranged, blocking the cultivators from observing with their spiritual consciousness. Ye Xiaoman only saw black clouds and mist.
On the way, the flying boat passed the VIP accommodation area.
This area is reserved for distinguished guests from the six realms. The God Emperor, Demon King, Ghost Lord and others all live here, and are personally entertained by the Demon Lord. Even someone of Qingzheng Sect's status as the leader can only be arranged to stay in a small hall on the outskirts.
The VIP accommodation area was far away and heavily restricted by laws, making it impossible to get close. The flying boat followed the guidance of the law and circled around it from a distance.
Ye Xiaoman looked into the distance and saw that the palace of the royal family of the Divine Realm had arrived at the VIP accommodation area.
The magnificent palace is still hanging high in the air, with no sign of descending.
It seemed that Ji Wenyi simply disdained to live in the shabby place arranged by the Demon Lord. He lived and worked in his palace, looking down at the ants on the ground from above.
Ye Xiaoman felt that given Ji Wenyi's arrogance that offended people everywhere, it would not be surprising if he was assassinated one day.
Then I remembered that Ji Wenyi lived peacefully for more than a thousand years in the original novel. He had had enough of being an emperor and ascended to heaven smoothly. In the end, he unified the entire cultivation world, and even the Demon Realm became his domain, and the demons bowed to his tyranny.
In other words, Ji Wenyi's career as a Tianlong was enjoyable from beginning to end.
No one can cure him.
Ye Xiaoman was so jealous that she wanted to scream.
The flying boat landed outside the contestants' accommodation area before dark.
Compared with the magnificent and spacious VIP accommodation area, this place seems less interesting despite the tall castle, green trees and small river.
Ye Xiaoman yawned loudly and followed the others down from the flying boat.
In the open square at the entrance of the castle, there were many lines of people, forming squares.
Ye Xiaoman looked closely and found that all the participating teams in this competition had arrived.
The demons formed one camp, the gods formed another... At the front of the team were a dozen demon elders. Seeing the mortal cultivators arriving late, they hurried them unhappily, "What took you so long?"
The elders on earth apologized politely.
When they arrived at the big competition area, the venue was jointly supervised by the six realms. The demons had the obligation to protect the safety of every genius. The demon killers who assassinated the geniuses stopped. The three sect leaders felt relieved and went to the VIP area to attend the banquet of the Demon Lord. The tedious matters were handed over to the elders.
The demon elder urged, "Those of you in the human world, hurry up and line up."
Seeing the human elder leading a group of geniuses slowly approaching like a mother hen protecting her chicks, his doting look was the complete opposite of the demon cave, and he sneered: "You are so old, but you still can't be independent."
"Those whose names are called, stand in front of me." A demon manager had lost his patience, threw away a scroll, and began to proofread the list of human monks participating in the competition.
The first name is——
"Ye Xiaoman."
Ye Xiaoman was extremely tired after the long car ride. She was standing next to the senior sister, wearing the uniform green clothing of the Qing Dynasty. Behind her was a small package made of green cloth with floral patterns, with an unknown sword inserted diagonally. A white cat was squatting on the package.
When he heard her name, he yawned again and walked forward dragging his shoes.
There were rival camps standing on both sides, and the gap in the middle was reserved for the human monks to line up. Ye Xiaoman walked through the open space and moved forward.
Along the way, countless eyes fell on her.
Ye Xiaoman said that this was normal. She had been rumored to be the favorite to win the championship. Everyone regarded her as a competitor and she received the strongest attention, which was not surprising.
The elders of the demon clan also cast considering glances.
Ye Xiaoman’s information has been almost completely destroyed in the Demon Cave.
My impression of her is that she should be a swordsman with sharp eyes and a cold temperament.
But Ye Xiaoman put her hands on the seam of her skirt very politely, raised her honest face, looked at them with loyalty and simplicity, and suddenly put her feet together and saluted.
"Instructor, this is not good for the elders. Ye Xiaoman reports!"
Demon elder: "..."
Demon elder: "Xiao Chujing."
