2165: C2165 Cheating?

C2165 Cheating?

"Still no news from Elder Du?" Inside a palace behind the Great Assembly Hall, Wei Xuanji slightly frowned.

"No!"

Yuan Hua shook his head, his eyebrows filled with suspicion.

Just a moment ago, the ninth Heavenly Emperor Elder sent out to supervise the trial had returned to the sect.

The one being supervised by Du Si Xian was Feng Zhuo.

Feng Zhuo had already returned to the sect after the tenth day of the selection trial, but he was unable to contact the Elder Du Si, who was following behind Feng Zhuo.

Right now, the only thing that was certain was that Du Si Xian was still alive.

"Could an accident have caught you, captured you, or trapped you in some place, causing you to be unable to escape and be unable to return to the sect in time?" Yuan Hua muttered to himself.

"Only then can it be explained."

Wei Xuanji said in a deep voice, "The selection and training of our Clear Void Pavilion's vice Pavilion Master s is not a secret to the Beidou Immortal Sect, Pangu's Heavenly Sect, Mystic Yellow Dao Sect and other sects. Presumably, someone truly did find Feng Zhuo's whereabouts and wanted to make a move against him.

The other surrounding elders also nodded their heads when they heard this.

After a moment, Wei Xuanji frowned: "Where is Clan Elder Gong Tianxun, is there any news of him?"

"Still no answer."

Yuan Hua laughed bitterly and sighed.

This time, because of the participation of an absolute genius like Feng Zhuo, in order to prevent any accidents, Gong Tianxun volunteered to be the commander of the Star Illusion City, to take charge of the overall situation.

At that time, when Gong Tianxun had raised this point, Wei Xuanji had hesitated for a moment.

After all, Gong Tianxun came from the same clan as the palace gods, so if he were to secretly help the palace gods, it was very likely that it would affect the fairness of this selection trial. However, after some thought, even if Gong Tianxun had that intention, he felt powerless. After all, every cultivator that participated in the trial had an elder of the Heavenly Emperor following them, and all of them were directly responsible to him, the Pavilion Master. There was no need to listen to Gong Tianxun's orders.

With them following him separately, Gong Tianxun wouldn't be able to stir up any trouble.

Therefore, in the end, Wei Xuanji still agreed to it. However, no one expected that after Du Si Xian, Gong Tianxun would actually also disappear.

The two Heavenly Emperor Elders had both disappeared during the trial, something that had never happened before.

"It's alright for Ninth Elder to be missing, but for Elder Du Sixian to disappear as well is a huge headache."

Yuan Hua exchanged glances with the few elders around him, and then said hesitatingly, "According to past practice, ten elders of Heavenly Emperor who have the responsibility of supervising the competition will need to explain everything clearly and confirm that no one has violated the rules during the trials to announce the results of the Pavilion Master's selection examination. Now that Elder Du is not here, and since we know nothing about Feng Zhuo's participation in the trial, should we delay the announcement of the results? "

"Let's wait for three more days." Wei Xuanji muttered to himself, "If there's still no news in three days, then there's no need to wait any longer."

"?"

"Three more days?"

Everyone in the Procedural Hall was stunned.

They had originally thought that the results of the selection trial would be announced very soon, but they did not expect that Pavilion Master Wei Xuanji would not appear, and the only one who appeared was Great Elder Yuan Hua. Yuan Hua did not announce the results of the selection test either, and instead issued an order to postpone it for three days before announcing the results.

Yuan Hua did not linger, and after he finished speaking, he left the palace under everyone's astonished gaze.

"Does anyone know why they delayed announcing the results of the exam?"

"Could someone have cheated?"

"Even if someone cheats, there's no need to delay it. Just punish them directly, unless the one cheating is ?"1

"?"

Everyone discussed, after a while, more and more gazes landed on Feng Zhuo who was seated cross-legged, eyes revealing a surprised and uncertain look.

He was only announcing the results of the trial. Under normal circumstances, there was no need to delay it.

Even if there really was someone who had cheated, as long as there was no effect on the results of the trial, they would still announce the people who were selected to be vice Pavilion Master s on the spot, unless the cheating had already affected the results.

In this trial, Feng Zhuo was ranked first and the palace god's bestowal ranked second. If things were as they had guessed, then the person who cheated would most likely be Feng Zhuo. And only by cheating on him would it be possible for it to truly affect the final outcome of the Pavilion Master's selection and trial.

When they thought about it, the way everyone looked at Feng Zhuo became strange.

Originally, they felt that it was extremely unbelievable that Feng Zhuo had spent only ten days to pass the trial. Now, they realised that it was extremely likely that Feng Zhuo had obtained such results by cheating, and everyone immediately felt as if they were on stimulants, their hearts starting to surge.

"Like I said, how could someone use ten days to successfully pass the trial?"

"If he really is cheating, then this vice Pavilion Master position should belong to Elder Gong."

"It's a pity, with his true strength, there is a great chance that he could obtain the position of vice Pavilion Master. Why would he choose to cheat?"

"You all say that he cheated, but does anyone know how?"

"?"

Everyone lowered their voices as they discussed amongst themselves.

At this moment, the curiosity in his heart had been raised to the limit, as though he wished he could reach into Feng Zhuo's stomach and take out all of the things he had held in his stomach.

However, no matter how much they said and pointed fingers, Feng Zhuo still did not budge.

At this moment, Tang Huan, who was far away within the Star Illusion City, could not help but laugh when he noticed the situation over at Feng Zhuo's side.

Even though he said that he wanted to kill that Gong Tianxun, he had left behind a trace of his soul inside that place, struggling on the brink of death. His purpose was very simple, to let Wei Xuanji and the other higher-ups of Clear Void Pavilion feel that Du Sian and Gong Tianxun were still alive, thus saving him a lot of trouble.

And because of these two people, Tang Huan did not follow Feng Zhuo back to Clear Void Pavilion.

Right now, no matter if it was Du Sixian or Gong Tianxun's residual soul, both were inside Tang Huan's cave. If Tang Huan brought them and stayed in the Star Illusion City, they could also advise Feng Zhuo.

For example, now ?

Tang Huan quietly floated out of the inn he was staying. In the blink of an eye, he was already in front of a vast hall. The doors of the palace were opened, and through them, a faint white luster could be seen, this was the Clear Void Pavilion's exclusive teleportation formation.

"Who is it, stop!"

At the entrance of the palace, eight Heaven Marquis guards suddenly woke up and shouted loudly.

At almost the same instant the words left their mouths, they had already pushed their Sky Origin to the limits of their abilities. A layer of subtle fluctuations visible to the naked eye emerged around their bodies.
