Chapter 724: Candidate Elite List!
"I..."
Wang Lie’s expression turned blank. He didn’t know what to say. He was completely shocked.
He had never expected that the reason Daoist Scarlet Brow gave would be this. It was simply beyond his expectations.
He had tried to increase his speed to improve his result in this stage, but he had never expected that in the end, he had actually dug his own grave and caused himself to be eliminated early.
Of course, Daoist Scarlet Brow was right.
If not for Wang Lie’s inherently selfish nature and his unwillingness to spend even a little time saving people, he would not have ended up in this situation.
"Absurd. This is too absurd."
"The grand Profound Origin Immortal Sect would actually reject people for such a reason. Sooner or later, the Profound Origin Immortal Sect will perish because of this."
Although Wang Lie stopped speaking, it did not mean others were willing to accept it.
Among them, several hot-tempered cultivators could not help shouting loudly.
"Presumptuous."
Daoist Scarlet Brow’s brows suddenly rose, and his fiery-red eyebrows seemed to burst into flames.
A terrifying aura was released, directly blasting back the cultivators who shouted the loudest.
Pfft!
Their bodies were blasted dozens of yards away.
Those cultivators spat out blood one after another, their faces pale as they half-knelt on the ground, looking utterly miserable.
"How can my grand Profound Origin Immortal Sect allow you juniors to speak such nonsense?"
Daoist Scarlet Brow said coldly, "From this day forward, the few of you are forbidden from stepping within ten thousand miles of Profound Origin Immortal Mountain. Any violators will be executed without mercy."
As his voice fell, he gave his wide sleeve a sudden flick, and those cultivators all vanished.
Seeing this scene, the crowd became as silent as cicadas in winter.
Those who had shouted the loudest before were now filled with terror, not daring to say another word.
Fortunately, Daoist Scarlet Brow did not intend to take his anger out on everyone.
He scanned the area and said calmly, "I might as well tell you this. My Profound Origin Immortal Sect does not require its disciples to be saints, but at the very least, you must have basic principles."
"In the Heart Refining Road test, as long as you saved one person, you are considered to have passed this stage. But if you did not save a single person, then no matter how great your talent is, my Profound Origin Immortal Sect has no need for such a disciple."
"I have said my piece. Next, those who have been eliminated may leave on your own."
By the end, Daoist Scarlet Brow’s voice had calmed down, but it was filled with unquestionable decisiveness.
Clearly, no one could go against his will.
Qin Yuehan and Xuan Qiu’s expressions were both ugly to the extreme.
Not long ago, they had still been mocking Li Yun, thinking that Li Yun possessed a woman’s kindness and was foolish to the extreme.
But in the end, they were the truly foolish ones.
They had not stopped in any of the illusions, which had indeed increased their speed, but it had also caused them to lose the opportunity to enter the Profound Origin Immortal Sect.
This was undoubtedly losing a watermelon just to pick up a sesame seed.
"Second Brother, you must vent my anger for me."
Xuan Qiu suddenly cried out.
He pointed at Li Yun and shouted hysterically, "It is all him. It is this person who caused me to be eliminated. Second Brother, you must help me. You absolutely cannot let him enter the Profound Origin Immortal Sect."
"Shut up."
Before Xuan Qiu could finish speaking, Xuan Long’s expression turned cold and severe as he barked, "What kind of place do you think this is? You are embarrassing yourself. Get lost right now."
"Second Brother..."
Xuan Qiu was stunned.
He wanted to say more, but when he saw Xuan Long’s cold and sharp eyes, his heart could not help shuddering. He did not dare talk back anymore and hurriedly left in disgrace.
Xuan Long snorted coldly.
Then, he looked toward Li Yun with a kind smile on his face and said, "Little brother, it is my fault for spoiling this younger brother of mine and making him so arrogant. As his brother, I apologize on his behalf. I hope you will not mind."
"It is fine."
Li Yun nodded, but his heart became solemn.
Others might not have noticed it, but Li Yun possessed the Three Souls Secret Art, and his soul perception far surpassed ordinary people. He had happened to sense Xuan Long’s fleeting killing intent.
Although that killing intent vanished extremely quickly, it had truly existed.
Clearly, Xuan Long was not as simple as he appeared on the surface.
This person was definitely deep and calculating.
Li Yun had to remain cautious against such a person.
Whoosh!
Just then, Daoist Scarlet Brow reached out and formed a hand seal.
A burst of golden light surged up, quickly transforming into a brilliant golden list.
On that golden list, little golden tadpole-like characters continuously appeared. They were the names of the cultivators.
"Candidate Elite List."
Seeing this golden list, the remaining cultivators immediately became excited.
Many showed looks of anticipation in their eyes and looked toward the golden list at the first opportunity.
"Hm?"
Li Yun’s mind stirred.
Just as he was wondering what this Candidate Elite List was, Fatty Chu’s voice rang out.
"The Candidate Elite List is exactly what it sounds like. It is a list for candidates who have a chance of becoming elite disciples."
"After each stage of testing, those whose overall ranking is in the top one hundred can be listed on the Candidate Elite List."
"The sixty elite disciples might not necessarily be the top sixty ranked examinees, but they will absolutely be selected from the Candidate Elite List."
"In other words, as long as you enter the Candidate Elite List, there is at least a sixty percent chance of becoming an elite disciple."
