Chapter 847: Chapter 845: Accidentally Pulled Far Ahead

”Oh no!”

Seeing a disciple from the Sword Pavilion raise his sword to stab Xu Wendong’s back, whether it was Wuming or the disciples of the Elixir Sect,

or the elders of the Jade Maiden Palace and the Heaven Scripture Academy,

or Jian Chi,

and Yuan Kui,

everyone’s expressions changed.

They did not deny Xu Wendong’s defense; even a Golden Core Period expert would find it challenging to break his Golden Bell Shield Iron Cloth Shirt.

But the situation was different now; the disciple of the Sword Pavilion was already within his Golden Bell Shield Iron Cloth Shirt.

This was equivalent to Xu Wendong exposing all his weaknesses.

And with the means of a Golden Core Period expert,

Xu Wendong could be instantly killed.

Time seemed to freeze.

Everyone held their breath.

Not to mention them, even Yuan Kui, a Nascent Soul Stage expert, didn’t have time to assist Xu Wendong at this critical moment.

Puff!

A stream of crimson blood bloomed in the darkness,

like a blossoming otherworldly flower.

”Senior brother... what are you doing?” the disciple named Gong Bo was dumbfounded seeing Meng Hao stand behind Xu Wendong, never expecting his senior brother to block the sword with his own body.

Angrily, Meng Hao said, ”And what are you doing?”

Gong Bo replied, ”He showed disrespect to our Sword Pavilion and forced our Seven Heroes of Sword Pavilion to kneel, I can’t swallow this anger!”

”The face of the Sword Pavilion has all been lost by you!” Meng Hao said furiously, snatching Gong Bo’s token and smashing it: ”Go into seclusion for ten years when we return to the mountain, and don’t expect anyone to plead for you!”

Before Gong Bo could speak, he was teleported outside the dungeon.

”Sorry for the embarrassment, Junior Brother Xu.” Meng Hao forced a smile, not daring to meet Xu Wendong’s eyes.

Though he also found Xu Wendong annoying,

it was merely annoyance.

Even if he wanted to teach Xu Wendong a lesson,

he never thought of harming him from behind.

He was relieved to have blocked that sword.

Otherwise, the reputation of the thousands-year-old Sword Pavilion would be completely tarnished.

”Senior Brother Meng is truly upright and honest; I admire you!” Xu Wendong said, full of respect, actually having sensed the danger just now.

However, it was too late to defend himself.

If Meng Tao hadn’t stood up, he would definitely have been injured.

Without further thought, he took out an elixir and gave it to Meng Hao: ”This is a Qi Replenishing Pill I personally refined, Senior Brother Meng please take it!”

”Thank you, Junior Brother Xu.”

Outside the dungeon,

Yuan Kui sighed with relief, saying, ”Azure Sea’s judgment in choosing disciples is indeed excellent. Having Meng Hao as the future sect leader of the Sword Pavilion will not tarnish its glory!”

Although the Four Great Sects hold a major competition every ten years, its purpose is to assess the disciples’ strength, regardless of win or loss.

The relationships between the Four Great Sects were very harmonious, and there were never any casualties.

If Xu Wendong were injured in today’s competition, the harmonious relationship between the Four Great Sects would surely be damaged.

That was something he did not want to see.

”Hmph!” Wuming snorted coldly: ”Fortunately, Meng Hao blocked that sword. If my disciple had been harmed by the underhand tactics of the detestable Sword Pavilion, I would have risked my life to storm the Sword Pavilion and demand an explanation for my disciple!”

Jian Chi said, ”Friend Wuming, it was indeed our Sword Pavilion that was at fault. Rest assured, after the competition, our Sword Pavilion will definitely give Friend Xu an explanation!”

Although Jian Chi was in a bad mood today,

he could still distinguish between right and wrong in the face of major issues.

At this moment,

Gong Bo was teleported back.

Jian Chi flew into a rage, ”Gong Bo, do you realize you almost made a grave mistake?”

”I am in the wrong and am willing to accept punishment!” Gong Bo lowered his head abashedly.

”You may step back!” Jian Chi shook his head helplessly. He himself had little presence today, and now, after Gong Bo’s fiasco, he had lost face and couldn’t stay here anymore.

However, as the leading elder of the Sword Pavilion, he couldn’t leave.

So he reluctantly stayed there.

Soon.

The competition time ended.

Yuan Kui pinched the spell with one hand.

The next moment,

everyone was teleported out.

Except for Xu Wendong and the disciples of the Jade Maiden Palace, everyone from the Sword Pavilion or the heavenly prides of the Heaven Scripture Academy appeared quite disheveled.

But fortunately, everyone lasted till the end.

Yuan Kui waved his right hand, and everyone’s tokens floated into the air. He looked at the crowd below and said, ”Next, I will announce the assessment results!”

”Fourth place, Heaven Scripture Academy, with 432 points.”

This result was within everyone’s expectations.

Even though the Heaven Scripture Academy had excellent results in previous competitions, this time they were eclipsed by the dark horse Xu Wendong.

Not only that, but he also helped the Jade Maiden Palace gain excellent results.

The last place was definitely the Heaven Scripture Academy.

”Third place, Sword Pavilion, with 2152 points.”

In fact, the Sword Pavilion’s points were more than this.

However.

Gong Bo’s token was crushed, causing his points not to be counted.

But it didn’t matter.

Because even if his points were counted, it wouldn’t change the final result.

”Although our Sword Pavilion ranked third in the first round, this score surpasses the previous round’s score.” Jian Chi forced a smile, trying to comfort himself.

Yes, he used to compare with others, but now he simply couldn’t compete.

So he could only compare with the past...

”Second place, Jade Maiden Palace, with 2856 points.”

When Yuan Kui finished announcing the results, Elder Ning Yin of the Jade Maiden Palace also showed a charming smile, though there was a lot of fluke in the result.

But she didn’t mind at all.

In fact, the strength of the Jade Maiden Palace couldn’t rank third among the Four Great Sects.

The reason they ranked third this time was that the Elixir Sect let them have the third-place position.

It was for this reason that the Elixir Sect and the Jade Maiden Palace maintained close relations, with frequent private interactions among their disciples.

As the Sect Leader Fuyao of the Jade Maiden Palace put it, the Elixir Sect disciples possess the demeanor of gentlemen!

”First place, Elixir Sect, with 3652 points!”

When Yuan Kui announced Xu Wendong’s score, Wuming immediately put on a stern face and pretended to be displeased: ”Mischievous disciple, we agreed to give some face to the other sects, so why did you lead by such a large margin?”

”Why haven’t you kept your master’s words in your heart?”

Xu Wendong’s mouth twitched.

He couldn’t tell if his master was truly angry, as he had never seen his master lose his temper before, leaving him a bit uneasy.

Wuming grew angrier as he spoke, ”You have to know you were participating in the assessment alone!”

”And didn’t each side have seven or eight people?”

”You alone earned so many points; didn’t you consider their feelings?”

”Why is your emotional intelligence so low?”

”This way, your master is left with no face!”

”...”

”...”

”...”

Everyone revealed resentful gazes.

Are you sure Xu Wendong has low emotional intelligence?

Do you really feel you have no face?

If you felt you had no face, why are you smiling so widely?
