Chapter 103: Jiang Heng withdrew from the competition
“What? You won’t participate in the second round?”
Elder Wu looked at Jiang Heng in shock.
Before returning to Wulan City, Jiang Heng called Elder Wu aside alone and expressed his intention to give up the second round.
“Why? Your strength is obviously the absolute best in the game. As long as you fight all the way, you can gain an additional 120 points and become the champion. Why give up now?”
Elder Wu asked in confusion.
“With the current points of the sect, ranking in the top twenty is already a destined result. We can still rank among the top sects.”
"Then, it doesn't matter whether I participate in the group competition or not. It only affects my personal ranking, so I don't think it is necessary to participate."
Jiang Heng shook his head, and then said seriously:
“I have other important matters to deal with, so I want to leave the team temporarily from now on, and I also ask Elder Wu to help me hide the news for the time being.”
“When the matter is settled, I will return to the sect.”
Elder Wu was silent for a moment and whispered:
"Are you still worried about the sneak attack by the strong men in the Vientiane Realm? If so, it would be more dangerous to leave the team alone in this case."
Jiang Heng still shook his head and said in a deep voice: "In the sect, please ask Elder Wu to report for me."
What he did not say was.
Sect leader Bai Haocang was also among his key suspects, including Elder Wu in front of him, whom he could not trust.
At this point, the other party dared to attack him in the joint martial arts hosted by the Holy Land, and even the strong men from the Vientiane Realm had appeared, which showed that the determination to kill him was extremely firm.
And after the assassination attempt by the powerful man in the Vientiane Realm fails, will the other party have a stronger man dispatched?
he does not know.
But if a strong person above the Myriad Realm really appears, it will not be so easy for him to survive.
So, if you follow the sect’s team, not only will you not encounter any resistance, but you will put yourself under the eyes of everyone and put yourself in danger.
He is in the light, while the enemy is in the dark.
If we continue like this, we will always be too passive.
So he decided to hide himself in the dark for a while and continue to accumulate strength.
Elder Wu’s face was uncertain, and he gritted his teeth and asked:
“As a true disciple of a top sect, with the sect as your backing, how can you face the crisis alone?”
“Tell me the truth, do you know who attacked you? Or is there anyone you suspect?”
Jiang Heng remained silent, still looking at Elder Wu, waiting for his answer.
After a moment, Elder Wu let out a long sigh.
"Well, since you don't want to say it, I won't force you."
“I will help you report to the sect, but you have to return to the sect within three months at most. July 1, 3023, is the day of the sect leader’s election. All elders and true disciples must not be absent.”
“July 1, three months?”
Jiang Heng frowned, then relaxed his eyebrows and said decisively: "No problem!"
When Jiang Heng turned around.
Elder Wu looked at him solemnly: "Jiang Heng, take care!"
Jiang Heng paused and replied: "Thank you very much!"
Soon, Jiang Heng found Yuan Haotian alone.
Yuan Haotian didn't put on any airs about the individual champion who performed most brilliantly in the trial, and followed Jiang Heng to a corner.
Jiang Heng reported his withdrawal from the competition, and also told about the attack during the trial, which immediately made Yuan Haotian furious.
“You mean, there are actually powerful people in the Myriad Realm who have sneaked into the trial?”
Yuan Haotian suppressed his anger and spoke in a low voice.
“That’s right.”
"Who is it? How dare you openly provoke the Holy Land? You are simply reckless! Jiang Heng, do you have any suspicions?"
"I have no idea."
"have no idea?"
Yuan Haotian frowned and looked at Jiang Heng in surprise.
"That's right, I don't know who is going to attack me, so I want to return to the sect alone before the other party can react, and make a special report and ask the Holy Envoy to conceal my information."
The reason why he reported to Yuan Haotian was, on the one hand, that he did not want his sudden absence to cause a sensation and hoped that Yuan Haotian would suppress the news as much as possible. On the other hand, it was to divert attention.
The Holy Land was also among his suspicions, so he deliberately said that he would return to the sect immediately.
If the person who took action was really from the Holy Land, and Yuan Haotian also knew about it, then it would be a good idea to divert his attention.
Hearing this, Yuan Haotian was silent for a moment and could only say:
"Don't worry! Things happened under our noses, and we will naturally investigate to the end."
“It’s just that the strong man in the Vientiane Realm is hiding his face and leaving too few clues, so it is very likely that no results will be found.”
Jiang Heng nodded and said, "I understand!"
Soon, Jiang Heng left alone and quietly disappeared from everyone's sight.
…
Under the leadership of Yuan Haotian, everyone returned to the luxurious manor outside Ulan City and began the lottery competition for the arena competition.
As the duels continued one after another, someone finally discovered something was wrong.
“Huh? It seems that Jiang Heng didn’t appear?”
“It seems that he didn’t show up when the lot was drawn just now. I thought I was mistaken. It seems that he really didn’t participate.”
Some people looked in the direction of Da Luo Sect and Yuan Haotian, who was quietly watching the game, but did not receive any relevant response.
Everyone had no choice but to put aside their doubts and continue watching the duel.
Somewhere in the square, Zuo Yueru, dressed in red, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
“Since that scary young man is not participating, it seems that the champion is mine!”
The white-haired young man on the other side also breathed a sigh of relief, and his war-filled eyes fell on Zuo Yueru.
“Since there is no more that scary boy, I have hope of winning the championship!”
Zuo Yueru seemed to have noticed his gaze and turned around to look.
The eyes of the two people met in the air.
Like Jiang Heng, the points they obtained were far ahead of others, which was completely enough for the sect to maintain the level of the top sect.
The significance of the group competition is more to determine personal ranking.
But with Jiang Heng’s presence beforehand, the two of them knew that they had no hope of winning the championship. No matter how hard they fought, they were destined to be the runner-up or third runner-up.
For the two proud and arrogant people, this did not arouse the slightest interest at all.
But now, Jiang Heng has withdrawn from the competition for unknown reasons, so the championship must be born between the two of them.
As long as I defeat him/her, I will be the champion!
The two of them suddenly felt fighting spirit in their hearts!
…
the other side.
“Jiang Heng retired from the competition early and is missing?”
In the dim room, an elegant middle-aged man held a piece of paper and was thinking deeply.
"It seems that he also guessed that we would continue to attack him, so while the holy envoy was still there, he hid it in advance to make it difficult for us to search."
"Unfortunately, I am not as afraid of people in the Holy Land as you think."
The elegant middle-aged man's murderous aura was immediately extinguished, and a sinister wind suddenly filled the room.
After he walked out of the room, he turned into a stream of light and flew away with his sword.
In just a few minutes, he flew over a hundred miles and arrived at the Lianhua Mountains, flying back and forth at low altitude throughout the Lianhua Mountains.
Starting from the Wanxiang Realm, one can begin to use the mysterious spiritual power, and at the Xuanzang Realm, the spiritual power is enough to probe out of the body and detect the spiritual fluctuations of any living being.
At this moment, the elegant middle-aged man exuded invisible spiritual power outside his body, exploring every inch of the mountain range bit by bit.
