Chapter 317 Final 15
Chapter 317 Final 15
While Ye An and his friends were having a lively conversation, the sunlight shone on the ancient buildings around the venue that looked like a bird's nest, creating a faint halo.
Inside the venue, the audience and people from other sects were anxiously waiting, their emotions gradually rising to a peak.
In the stands, people were sitting or standing, whispering to each other, and the noisy sounds rose and fell like waves.
A burly man frowned and looked at the empty venue with impatience on his face.
"When exactly does it start?" His voice was as loud as a bell, echoing in the air.
"Who knows!" A tall and thin man next to him responded. He kept standing on tiptoe, trying to see the situation in the venue clearly, his eyes full of expectation and anxiety.
At this time, a man with a pointed chin and monkey face suddenly said, "Hey, have you heard? This final is a group free-for-all."
One of the nuns heard this and looked back curiously. However, after seeing the man's appearance, she couldn't help but frown, quickly distanced herself from him, and asked with disgust, "How did you know?"
The others also stopped complaining and turned their eyes to the pointed-faced man.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, the man straightened his chest, raised his chin, and said proudly: "Of course I have connections in the Holy Land of Martial Arts!"
His cunning eyes swept across everyone's faces, as if waiting for their admiration.
Everyone curled their lips when they saw his smug look, but they still fell into thought.
"It seems to be true. Don't you think the final of this Heroes Conference was rushed? They even skipped the quarterfinals and semifinals." The man who spoke at the beginning raised this question again.
After hearing this, the people around began to talk in low voices, and the whole place was filled with a tense and doubtful atmosphere.
At this time, the man with a pointed chin and monkey face saw that everyone was lost in thought and felt that he could make his debut again.
He cleared his throat and said proudly, "Ahem, ahem, well, I know the answer to this question, too."
He raised his chin slightly, his eyes full of pride, as if he held a huge secret.
Everyone's eyes were focused on him again. Some were expectant, some were suspicious, but they were all waiting for him to continue.
The pointed-nosed and monkey-faced man saw that everyone's eyes were focused on him again, and he looked even more proud. He raised his chin and said with a beaming face, "It is said that the culprit who caused the Phoenix Clan's demise has not yet been caught, and they are afraid that further delays may cause more trouble. Therefore, the leaders of the three holy places unanimously agreed to move up the finals, and it will also be a clearer test for the contestants this time."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked surprised and began to whisper to each other.
Some looked worried, as if they were afraid of an unknown disaster; others seemed to be deep in thought, speculating on the deeper meaning behind this early final.
The man with the pointed chin and monkey face seemed to be enjoying the reactions of the crowd to his words, with a smug look on his face.
Just as the pointed-lipped and monkey-faced man was about to continue speaking, tiny ripples suddenly appeared in the space in the center of the final venue, as if a small stone had been thrown into a calm lake.
Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to that place, and then they saw three figures slowly stepping out from the void in the center of the venue.
The three figures seemed to come from another world, carrying a mysterious and powerful aura that made everyone present involuntarily quiet down and stare at them nervously.
Then, the three figures walked out completely. They were like gods descending to the earth, bringing with them an indescribable sense of oppression.
Their appearance made the originally noisy place quiet instantly. Everyone held their breath and stared at them closely.
The ripples in the surrounding space quickly stabilized at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The ripples originally spread out like waves, but now they seemed to be smoothed out by an invisible hand and gradually disappeared.
The void behind them also slowly closed at this moment. The void was like a torn hole that was slowly healing.
The dark crack gradually shrank and finally disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared.
Only then were everyone able to see clearly who these three figures were.
"Look, it's the leaders of the three holy places." The sturdy man at the beginning said loudly, his voice full of shock and awe.
The sturdy man opened his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief, and one hand unconsciously pointed at the three figures in the center of the venue.
When everyone heard the strong man's shout, they all showed looks of respect.
Some of them bowed their heads slightly to show respect; others stood straight with eyes full of admiration.
In the entire venue, hundreds of thousands of spectators and eliminated contestants all fell silent at this moment.
The originally noisy voices and discussions seemed to be wiped out in an instant as if by an invisible hand, leaving only a heart-pounding silence.
Bai Feiyu quietly looked at the stands surrounding the venue, and all the spectators had expressions of admiration on their faces.
Their eyes were full of reverence and yearning, as if they were looking up to gods.
Bai Feiyu narrowed his eyes slightly and sighed in his heart: "This is the temptation that power and strength bring to people."
He slowly turned around and looked at the two people beside him. Bai Feiyu said with a hint of politeness on his face, "Two seniors, do you have anything to say?"
As the leader of one of the three holy places, Bai Feiyu naturally would not be too respectful.
After all, these two old guys had intended to drag him into the water a few days ago, asking him to make a statement or contribute to the matter of the disaster star. Although Bai Feiyu did not explicitly refuse at the time, he also tactfully expressed his intention and suggested that the final be advanced.
At this moment, a barely perceptible alertness flashed in his eyes, as if he was on guard against the possibility that these two might attack again at any time.
Dao Wuchen and Kong Fuzi were slightly startled when they heard Bai Feiyu's words, and then complicated expressions appeared on their faces.
Dao Wuchen stroked his beard and said slowly, "Master Bai, today's finals is about the seeds of the future. We should work together to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
Bai Feiyu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a half-smile, and responded: "Of course, but the finals will be moved forward this time. Both seniors have agreed. Can I announce the start?"
There was a hint of tentativeness in his words, and his eyes glanced back and forth between Dao Wuchen and Confucius, trying to get some clues from their reactions.
Confucius frowned slightly, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Wait a minute, Master Bai. Although this final was hastily brought forward, the rules still need to be clarified again to avoid unnecessary confusion."
Bai Feiyu's mind moved, "Sure enough, it seems that I still want to find the disaster star in this final."
