Chapter 177: Tremendous Rewards
Jiang Hao turned and looked towards the cutlivators. Previously he had let them go from the 500-meter mark, as it would have been hard for them to accept, but now he would let them move at least 900 meters and give them enough hope so they understand that sometimes, it is better to give up on your greed.
The competition was bound to happen for two hours, so he had to wait anyway.
Also, most of the cultivators who had left earlier were still waiting outside to see the results, so they might want to join back after seeing that some of those who had not left had made it to almost the end line.
Previously, when he stood on the 500-meter mark, the cultivators from the Mountain Sword Sect had left too. It was a good thing they did, because he wasn’t going to give them exceptions.
Although he didn’t quite pinpoint the reason....was it because they had tried to target him when they were fighting for the Serene Night Herb, or was it that they were afraid to associate themselves with him, because they would definitely feel the heat from other sects once again if that happened?
Either way, they did a good job, as he really wasn’t interested in killing them. It was still the sect he was part of some time ago, and they might be the only sect who hadn’t gone against them. Maybe it was something related to Senior Huan, but it was the truth nonetheless.
So unless they really gave him enough reason to make a move against them, he would ignore them.
After twenty minutes, Ming Yue and Yi Lin made it to the end line. The pressure and pain was removed in some areas between here and the mountain.
Exactly forty minutes later, most of the remaining cultivators came up to the 900-meter mark, they were gritting their teeth in pain.
Most of the cultivators watched intently. There was still enough time left if they used their full strength to cross the end line. Some even started walking again, but most looked toward the fate of the eleven cultivators who were near the 900-meter mark.
One of the cultivators, who was in front of the others, stopped and looked toward Jiang Hao, who wasn’t even paying attention to them and was sitting with closed eyes.
