Chapter 1254: End of a Round

With Red Soil’s death, the VIP room where the Vermilion Bird Clan was gathered exploded with chaos.

"Damn it, they actually killed Red Soil! I want to tear this brat into pieces!" The Vermilion Bird Clan Leader roared with rage.

The power of the Peak of Primordial Immortal Realm instantly intimidated the entire VIP room.

Other Vermilion Bird Clan members were all scared silent, like cicadas in winter.

"Clan Leader, this guy’s true form is the Undying Devouring Sky Beast. If he truly grows up, I’m afraid our Vermilion Bird Clan won’t be able to match him, and the Undying Devouring Sky Beast can’t be killed. Even the Vermilion Bird Clan of the Immortal Realm will not provoke him easily. Once he returns, it will be a calamity for our entire Vermilion Bird Clan," an elder among the crowd said.

"Hmph, with Red Soil dead, our Vermilion Bird Clan can’t even enter the top hundred. The loss is immense. If we don’t kill this brat, I won’t be able to vent my anger. Even if we can’t kill him, I need to suppress him eternally, making sure he never enters reincarnation," the Vermilion Bird Clan Leader coldly snorted, his eyes erupting with killing intent.

...

As the Vermilion Bird Clan Leader was raging, the first round of the Immortal Order Competition was reaching its end.

Many dark horses emerged during the Immortal Order Competition.

The most shocking among them were the Undying Devouring Sky Beast, Wang Long, and Xu Nian.

Of course, there were others, but what they did wasn’t as astonishing as Xu Nian.

Three duplicates simultaneously shook the entire Cultivation World; it’s unlikely to find another like them.

Those spectators of the Immortal Order Competition were secretly comparing.

Some said Xu Nian is the biggest dark horse this time, while others said Wang Long, and some supported the Undying Devouring Sky Beast.

Yet they didn’t know, the three they talked about were actually the same person.

The first round of the Immortal Order Competition ended, and they exited Forbidden Island.

Originally, millions of geniuses were present, but now only a hundred thousand remained.

No one felt pity for those dead geniuses, as every gaze was on the victors.

The upcoming second trial at the Trial Tower requires a wait of three days.

Xu Nian, Situ Jue, and Yang Dong returned to the VIP room where the Denor Empire was located.

"Haha, killing this time was truly exhilarating. I killed over a hundred, and on my Forbidden Island, I ranked in the twenties." Situ Jue laughed heartily, looking proud and self-satisfied.

"Then why did I hear you were being chased everywhere?" Yang Dong laughed mockingly.

Situ Jue’s face darkened immediately and he quickly defended: "That’s because that bastard Jiang Shengtian is too strong. Even with over a dozen people surrounding him, we couldn’t injure him. If I hadn’t fled quickly, I’d be dead too. Even if you went, you’d end up dead."

"Why did you mess with him for no reason? Jiang Shengtian is a contender for the top three." Yang Dong laughed.

"Wasn’t I aiming for something big? If successful, I’d become renowned forever." Situ Jue said.

Yang Dong shook his head and smiled wryly.

"What about you, Xu Nian? What’s your ranking on your Forbidden Island? Yang Dong can get into the top ten, you can’t be too bad, right?" Situ Jue looked at Xu Nian and asked.

"My ranking isn’t high, over a hundredth." Xu Nian said with a smile.

"Over a hundredth? That shouldn’t be the case!" Situ Jue showed a curious expression.

"Did you face any difficulties?" Yang Dong curiously looked at Xu Nian too.

Xu Nian smiled and shook his head, unsure of how to explain.

"Although Xu Nian’s ranking isn’t high, he fought Hong Xi from the Chaos Sky Sect, and it ended in a draw." Denor Emperor chimed in with a grin.

"Hiss!"

Situ Jue instantly drew in a cold breath.

Who is Hong Xi?

That figure is a super powerhouse of the Eighth Level of Profound Argumentation Realm, either in the top three or top five. Xu Nian fighting to a draw with Hong Xi means Xu Nian has top five potential?

Yang Dong’s eyes widened too, showing shocked expressions.

Back then when they first met Xu Nian, Xu Nian was just slightly stronger than Situ Jue. But now, he successfully left them far behind.

"Xu Nian, never thought you’d hide so deeply. From today on, you’re my big brother. I’ll follow you from now." Situ Jue said.

Xu Nian offered a wry smile; Situ Jue was indeed a bit of a joker.

"Xu Nian, originally I thought you couldn’t be much stronger than me. Seems like you didn’t use full strength in that battle." Yang Dong said with a complex expression.

"Actually, I just recently made some breakthroughs." Xu Nian admitted helplessly.

"We don’t care if you just broke through or not, Xu Nian. Since you’re so strong, in the final competition, please teach Jiang Shengtian a lesson for me. Even if you can’t kill him, at least beat him up." Situ Jue said.

"Don’t worry, I guarantee to help you with that because I have a grudge against Jiang Shengtian, too. If we meet, it’s either him dead or me." Xu Nian said with a serious look.

As for Jiang Shengtian, he had to be killed.

Jiang Shengtian coveted Murong Xue, causing her memory loss, and even sent people to kill many Heavenly Court Gang members. If he’s not killed, Xu Nian’s hatred can’t be quelled.

Situ Jue and Yang Dong were stunned, unsure of what to say upon hearing that.

"Xu Nian, is it true that you really want to kill Jiang Shengtian? If so, you’d best think it over, because killing Jiang Shengtian will put you on an entire chase by the Tiancang Sect." Denor Emperor spoke, "Of course, you can hide in our Denor Empire, and then Tiancang Sect wouldn’t dare do anything to you."

"Yes, I know! Jiang Shengtian must die!" Xu Nian affirmed with determined eyes.

He didn’t say that he not only wanted to kill Jiang Shengtian but also the Tiancang Sect Master. Only by killing the Tiancang Sect Master could Murong Xue’s memory fully return.

Of course, saying this out loud would sound too arrogant.

But that’s indeed the voice he most wanted to say from his heart.

Denor Emperor said no more, knowing Xu Nian is a person of discretion.

He will absolutely not do anything reckless, and indeed, Denor Emperor admired this aspect of Xu Nian. If someone relinquished their inner vendetta just because of an opponent’s power, they’d lack any pride.

While Xu Nian and Denor Emperor were chatting, Wang Long moved through the crowd.

Everyone’s gaze upon him was filled with fear.

"Wow, you’re amazing. I thought you wouldn’t survive the first round of the competition!" Wude spoke excitedly to ’Wang Long’.

’Wang Long’ smiled but ignored him.

Wude was about to say something but suddenly closed his mouth, staring dumbfounded ahead.

Around them, everyone also froze, looking shocked.

Xu Nian was a bit puzzled and went stiff upon seeing ahead.

Ahead, a stunning beauty slowly approached him. Her every smile and frown was strikingly beautiful.

"Tantai... Xunyan!" Wude forced the words through his teeth.
