Chapter 82 - 79: Questioning
On the vast plain, demon energy filled the air, and figures crowded as far as the eye could see. The boiling clamor of voices saturated the site like successive waves, one stronger than the previous.
Today marked the final day of the trial period. The princely heirs who had entered the test site for their trials had mostly returned here by now. Regardless of whether they had met the conditions or not, today was the absolute deadline; they had to rush back.
For the vast majority, the conditions to enter the ultimate showdown were extremely stringent. Even if they were given a few more days, or even over ten days, meeting those conditions seemed an unlikely feat.
In stark contrast to the roiling voices on the site, the atmosphere was somewhat heavier in the pavilion stands where figures with strong auras sat in silence. These individuals were the elite figures of the Great Xia Kingdom.
On the side of the Royal Family and the Xia family, Xia Xun and others had evidently already returned. The Xia family had two individuals who had met the conditions for the trial, which made Xia Tianyou quite pleased.
However, the expressions on the faces from the Jun and Xie families were less favorable. On one hand, it was because the Xia family had achieved commendable results, and on the other, Jun Wuming and Xie Cangsheng had yet to appear. Although they did not believe that with those two’s strength, anything untoward could happen in the trial site, there were only two or three hours left until the deadline.
"Jun Wuming is usually quick and efficient in his duties. Why the delay this time? Could it be that going after that kid has held him up?"
The continued absence of results caused the Jun family to grow anxious. Jun Shan stepped forward, whispering to Jun Zhantian at his side.
"Perhaps. Otherwise, with Wuming’s strength, he should have been back by now." Jun Zhantian nodded, his murky eyes flashing with sharpness, "If he truly managed to eliminate that kid, then missing this trial wouldn’t matter much."
"Father, you worry too much. Xie Cangsheng from the Xie family hasn’t come out either. Let’s wait and see; I’m confident we’ll have results soon. Wuming has never disappointed us."
