"How did you, an ant who hasn't even reached the next level, manage to get in here?"
Before Jiang Yan could speak, Sicarius, dressed in a black robe, suddenly pointed at Ye Mo in the western corner and shouted.
"Me?" Ye Mo tilted his head and thought for a moment, then took out a student ID from his pocket and waved it in front of the other person: "Look carefully, I'm classmates with the big boss."
"In other words, I'm a person with connections."
Perhaps not expecting the other party to be so self-righteous, Sicario was momentarily stunned.
"It was my decision. Any objections?" Jiang Yan, standing to the side, narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly.
His background has probably been thoroughly investigated, covering three generations of his family. As a genius from a higher civilization, it's impossible that the other party didn't know that Ye Mo was his classmate.
Since you're still asking this question, it's because you're after him.
“Jiang Yan, this is the Abyss Trial.” Xikalos said with a stern face, “The rest of us are at least in the top five of the rankings, Bronze Rank 10. If you agree to let someone who hasn’t even entered the rank join, it will easily drag us down.”
"Oh?" Jiang Yan said with a half-smile, "You are only one rank apart, yet you call each other ants. Then what are you, two ranks apart, a paramecium? Should I kill you all to avoid dragging you down with me?"
Upon hearing this, Floria's eyes lit up slightly, and she nodded in agreement.
—I hate people who are only slightly good at something but keep talking about it all the time.
"you!"
“In any case, I have at least reached the level of participation recognized by all realms.” Sicarus suddenly calmed down and said slowly:
“This trial is a competition with other star systems. It is not only about the rewards we receive, but also about the dignity of the entire star system. As the strongest among us, you acted impulsively and disregarded the overall situation. I do not think you are suitable to lead our team.”
"I suppose the Sixth Princess and the Ninth Prince think the same way," he thought with a hint of smugness.
In his mind, the two royal children of the Starry Empire had just been given a hard time and must be feeling uncomfortable. In addition, Jiang Yan's comment about paramecia had also offended the Ninth Prince, who was also a Bronze Rank 10.
Now that I've deliberately played the villain against Jiang Yan, the two princes will surely seize the opportunity to retaliate. If the three of them form an alliance, even if Jiang Yan is powerful, he'll have to consider the practical consequences.
At the very least, he could annoy the other party by editing the scene back and posting it in the group chat, which would further solidify his position as the leader of the anti-Jiang alliance.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Time passed slowly, but the expected applause did not materialize.
He couldn't help but turn his head to look.
The sixth princess was carefully wiping the translucent gem at the top of the staff with a silk scarf, as if there was endless dirt to wipe away.
The Ninth Prince, like his retinue, seemed to have turned to stone, remaining motionless and not even blinking.
The entire temporary space was completely silent.
The eerie atmosphere made Sicalos's heart sink, and he slowly came to his senses.
He recently formed alliances in chat groups, gaining support and admiration from many people, even overshadowing the Sixth Princess. As a result, he became arrogant and forgot that when one's strength reaches a certain level, one can disregard the rules.
Damn it, those idiot group members have ruined my life!
With his eyes suddenly clearing up, SiCarlos forced a smile: "Brother Jiang, I was just joking."
"Oh? Just a joke." Jiang Yan nodded and said softly, "Then, leading the resistance against me among the lords, is that also a joke?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Analia silently placed her hand on the golden longsword.
"Misunderstanding!" Sicarius's pupils suddenly contracted, and he hurriedly explained, "This is all a deliberate frame-up."
“But I believed it,” Jiang Yan said calmly.
Clang!
Dozens of golden longswords were drawn, and the group of angels coldly looked at the opposite side, waiting for Jiang Yan to give the order.
Under the immense pressure of the difference in rank, hundreds of two-headed demonic bears whimpered and lay trembling on the ground.
Sensing the undisguised killing intent of the other party, Xikalos's expression changed drastically, and he shouted, "Jiang Yan, do you have any evidence! Killing a lord based on some rumors, aren't you afraid of being attacked by everyone!"
Although dying in the trial only meant returning to the original world, it meant he would miss out on the rewards of the trial, and he was unwilling to accept that.
"Evidence? Do you think this is some kind of world where even cultivators at the Mahayana level are expected to reason with each other?"
Jiang Yan was speechless and waved his hand gently.
Floria and Anna, who had been watching closely, attacked almost simultaneously, unleashing their full power as if in a contest.
The golden sword energy filled the sky like a waterfall, cascading down for a full three minutes before stopping.
Yaberlik, who was preparing for a hearty meal, stared in disbelief at the group of bears that had vanished without a trace, not even ashes remained.
The two six-winged angels met their gazes and simultaneously let out a soft hum.
"I unleashed 177 more sword energies than you, see?" Flora raised her head with a hint of pride.
Annalia curled her lip in disdain. So what if there are 70,000 more? Anyway, the Holy Lord said that I am the angel he trusts the most.
Jiang Yan stared at the scene in astonishment, opening his mouth as if to speak, but then stopped himself.
He estimated that these two-headed demonic bears would likely be traumatized for the rest of their lives.
"Brother Jiang, it's my fault, I've caused you trouble." Ye Mo, standing to the side, smiled apologetically.
He thought that he was the one who caused the trouble, and that Jiang Yan was standing up for him.
"It has nothing to do with you; it's just about eliminating unstable elements in the team in advance," Jiang Yan said, shaking his head.
"That's right, my sister and I both saw it. That guy was blind enough to offend Boss Jiang." The Ninth Prince, who had been focused on imitating the stone man, suddenly said indignantly, "My sister and I won't stand idly by... Uh, what do you think, sister?"
As he finished speaking, his voice suddenly lowered, and he cautiously glanced at the girl beside him.
“Of course, I will ask Seventh Brother to warn his civilization.” Luo Qianyu’s eyes lit up slightly as she nodded in agreement.
The Star Empire's higher-ups generally prefer to win over Jiang Yan, including the Seventh Prince, who has hinted that she should befriend him. This is a good opportunity.
"Then I'll thank you for your kindness," Jiang Yan said slowly, glancing at the two of them.
He dared to take action because he had a plan in mind, but with the intervention of these two members of the Star Empire's royal family, it would save him a lot of trouble.
Moreover, keeping them around might allow us to find out some information related to the Empire's unusual actions.
The siblings exchanged a glance and breathed a sigh of relief.
Luo Qianyu, in particular, felt a surge of relief. Thankfully, she had wisely refused when the group discussed an anti-Jiang Yan alliance; otherwise, she might be the one dead now.
That idiot Sicarius thought the reason everyone in the group was so indignant was because nobody wanted to be the leader; everyone was smart enough to know better.
After the conversation was over, the atmosphere in the temporary space eased.
Luo Qianyu hesitated for a moment, then took out a large scroll and handed it to Jiang Yan: "This contains some information about other star regions, as well as information about survival-type abyss trials. Take a look while you still have some time."
This was originally considered important intelligence that the empire was not to divulge, but at this moment, for the sake of achieving results, they could not care about it.
"Thanks."
Jiang Yan took the intelligence report and quickly began to review it. Although he was confident, he would never underestimate his enemy.
"One person passed the hell-level test, and their clan is the legendary Origin Wolf."
"17 people passed the Desperate Level assessment, and 86 people passed the Brave Level assessment."
"That person who passed the hellish test seems to have obtained the inheritance of a true god..."
