Chapter 590 The Rankings
writer:鲜仙      update:2022-07-15 14:00
  The Qiyu Xuangong had seven tests.

  The first, desire;

  The second, evil thoughts;

  The third, love;

  The fourth, fear;

  The fifth, sorrow;

  The sixth, anger;

  The seventh, joy.

  As the hardest one, the second test would make people lose their nature and mind. Since Su Jiuzhou helped him pass it, passing all the tests of Qiyu Xuangong would be no longer an imagination.

  He was already in the first phase of nature’s test. If he could reach the late phase before the seventh test, the power that came from the seven tests would lead him to skip three levels and reach the Junior Emperor!

  By that time, Ankui Valley would no longer limit him!

  Xuan Yu’er blinked and looked at the scenery on the summit.

  Arrived?

  Her master said that to keep the top 10 rankings on Tianjiao List would be very difficult. But, why would it be so easy?

  “You guys, what are you thinking?”

  Su Li was playing with her fingernails. She casually said, “I want the top three. The rests are yours.”

  Yin Xuetong opened her eyes wide. She thought she got it wrong, so she called in her mind.

  “Spirit of Mysterious Realm, does this approach follow the rules?”

  “Hello?”

  “???”

  No one answered her.

  The impartial spirit of Mysterious Realm now kept silent?!

  Yin Xuetong stared at the woman in the distance who was still cleaning nails. How was that possible?!

  Fang Mu scratched his head and looked at Yin Xuetong who was not fully recovered. He offered honestly, “Sister Xuetong, let’s fight?”

  Yin Xuetong laughed with anger and rolled her eyes, “I give up! Mu, you become a bad boy.”

  “I learned that from my elder brother.”

  Fang Mu easily blamed it on Fang Yuan and then turned to Ban Qian and Xuan Yu’er.

  Ban Qian waved his hands and revealed his white teeth, “I’m satisfied. If I rank too high, people won’t accept me.”

  “Me, too. I am too young.”

  Xuan Yu’er then added, “Master said that the tenth position would be able to prevent Ciyun Building from declining.”

  “This is Tianjiao List! Guys, why are you all so humble?”

  Su Li pointed to Fang Mu and Qu Qingning, “You two. Fight?”

  Fang Mu’s eyes were full of fire at once. He stared at Qu Qingning’s gloomy face, “I am prepared!”

  The atmosphere got tense instantly.

  Qu Qingning was sitting cross-legged on a cold stone. He raised his head, and Fang Mu’s face was reflected in his washed-out gray eyes.

  \r \r \r

  After a while of silence, he showed a smile that had not been seeing for a long time.

  That smile did not belong to the Great Holy Boy of Ankui Valley, but to the Qu Qingning, a dabbler, in Reincarnation Mirror. It was a chipper and casual smile.

  Fang Mu was suddenly stunned.

  “I surrender.”

  Like he didn’t care about it at all, Qu Qingning stopped smiling and lowered his head again.

  “Qu Qingning is really recovering.”

  A light flashed in Yin Xuetong’s eyes.

  In Cang Lei’s Cave, Qu Qingning was either sleeping or pretending to be asleep all the time. As a result, Yin Xuetong did not even say a word to him.

  Su Bai’s words were still echoing in her ears.

  “Sister commanded to wash away the evil thoughts in his body but not to hurt his life.”

  Why did Su Jiuzhou want to save him? She hated the top holy sects!

  “If you don’t want to fight, I will name your rankings.”

  Su Li smiled and said, “Fang Mu, the fourth; Qu Qingning, the fifth; Yin Xuetong, the sixth; Ban Qian, the eighth; Xuan Yu’er, the ninth. As for the tenth place, we should leave it to others. What do you say?”

  The crowd, “.……”

  Xuan Yu’er was confused, “Senior Su, who is the seventh?”

  Ban Qian looked back at Xuan Yu’er. Why did she call Su Jiuzhou Senior Su so naturally? Did she find something?

  “Just call me Fellow Practitioner Su.”

  Su Li explained with a smile, “The seventh place is reserved for a junior. That is an encouragement to him.”

  “I see, Fellow Practitioner Su.”

  Since Xuan Yu’er sensed other people’s strange gazes, she didn’t dare to speak more.

  Whoosh—

  A gust of wind came here, and then a mountain road appeared where a figure walked out. People were stunned.

  “It is not too late.”

  Before everyone had time to speak, another road appeared instantly and showed a more shocking figure. He said reluctantly, “One step behind you!”

  “Yi Mo!”

  “Yan Ziye!”

  “How dare you come here?!”

  Fang Mu and Qu Qingning almost simultaneously shouted.

  When the depressed Qu Qingning heard these words, he looked at the two people abruptly. Then a light flashed in his mind. He turned back and gazed at Su Li’s face, and the gaze contained surprise, gratefulness, guilt, regret, and other various complex emotions which could not be described in words.

  Was that her?

  That was the only explanation of why she had such a strong hostility to the top holy sects, and why she let the three people go and helped them pass a test after arrested them.

  She did not change, who was still a woman with a warm heart and cold gesture. However, compared to the once cute master of Linli Building occasionally, he could only sense indifference from her now.

  Qu Qingning’s brain was working intensely, but he eventually buried all the thoughts in the bottom of his heart.

  Whether it was her or not, he had no reason to approach her now.

  “Gentlemen, long time no see.”

  Ling Qinglan nodded to greet with a distant smile, “My name is Ling Qinglan, and I belong to Ni Sect. I am not Yi Mo. Don’t call my name wrong next time.”

  He went to Su Li and Yan Ziye followed. However, Yan Ziye didn’t bother to say a word when seeing those acquaintances.

  “According to our deal, Ling Qinglan is the second. Yan Ziye, do you agree?”

  Su Li turned to the two persons.

  Yan Ziye waved and smiled, “Yes. They are not so different. Besides, we have taken the top three!”

  “Done.”

  Then, Su Li secretly transmitted the sound to the spirit of the Mysterious Realm, “The last Tianjiao List was set off by Tianyake Attic. So, it is okay for me to set their ranks. Later, if someone arrives here before the deadline, I will let the two persons prove their strength. Is killing banned here?”

  “No.”

  The spirit of the Mysterious Realm answered very quickly. Although it showed no emotion, Su Li still felt a hint of relief from its voice.

  Su Li smiled slightly, “It couldn’t be better. I am looking forward to furthering cooperation. What’s more, I will find out the truth of Ling Qingshui’s death.”

  Ling Qingshui was indeed dead. The scene at the end of the divine awareness was the best proof.

  “.……Thank you! As long as you do not go too far, I won’t send any punishments. Su Jiuzhou, remember my name, Zhen Mo. I was the treasure accompanying my master!”

  After getting the promise, Su Li felt relieved. Then she closed her eyes and transmitted the sound in silence to the two persons.

  “You two solve the rest.”

  Ling Qinglan and Yan Ziye looked at each other. Then they found their places to sit down, waiting for someone.

  Though Yin Xuetong was sitting with the crowd, she couldn’t help glancing at Su Li. Now, she had already lost her interest in Tianjiao Battle.

  About the event that Ling Qinglan’s soul was separated, it was not a secret in the intelligence system of the top holy sects. All the top four holy sects knew it clearly.

  She had no power to change that situation. She imagined that maybe one day, Tianyin Tribe would be destroyed. Although Ling Qinglan couldn’t come to life at that time, his soul would rest in peace.

  Then suddenly, her fantasy became a reality.

  Tianyin Tribe really died out!

  Moreover, Ling Qinglan was standing in front of her!

  “Tianyin Tribe’s extinction surely is related to Su Jiuzhou and Ni Sect. Which powerful one is behind her?”

  Soon, four hours passed. Finally, a new road appeared at the entrance where a talk and thin youth in black stood.

  When he saw that there were almost 10 people there, he was stunned.

  What was happening here?

  It was natural that Great Holy Boys of the top holy sects was there, but there were some people who he didn’t know!

  It this……Su Jiuzhou?

  The youth in black frowned when he saw Su Li, remembering the portrait and analysis from the elder, “Su Jiuzhou and the two strange men may belong to one sect.”

  He turned his gaze to the two men next to her. When he saw one of them looking at him with a smile, he was completely shocked.

  Was that a dream?!

  Was it an illusion? Not the summit?!

  The youth showed vigilance, but Yan Ziye laughed and said, “Silly boy! This is the summit. Come here. Let me have a look at you.”

  This youth was Zhou Linfeng.

  Yan Ziye’s tone made Zhou Linfeng’s eyes turn red slightly. But Zhou Linfeng only took a few steps forward warily. After confirming there was no trap, he could no longer hold but rushed to Yan Ziye.

  “Senior Fellow Apprentice!”

  When Zhou Linfeng shouted, Yan Ziye also showed excitement. But Yan Ziye still rubbed his ears, “Do you want to make me deaf?”

  Zhou Linfeng scratched his head and finally wore a happy expression. His voice was full of giggling and somewhat sobs, “Senior Fellow Apprentice, am I dreaming?”

  “Silly boy, I am not dead. Of course, you are not.”

  Yan Ziye hit Zhou Linfeng hard on the back of the head and grinned, “I don’t need to hide anymore. Those stubborn old guys must be angry enough and want to kill me now! You don’t need to cry, and maybe we will have a good fight in the future.”

  “I won’t fight with you!”

  Zhou Linfeng got nervous instantly, “I’ll go with you. I won’t be the Holy Boy anymore. I don’t want it.”
