Chapter 1876: The Enforcement Team Sets Out

Qin Xiao was a descendant of the ancient sage Zipi. A year ago, he had already reached the ninth-level peak of the Saint Domain. He had thought that this Great Confucian Hall assessment would be easy to pass, but unexpectedly, an elimination round was introduced.

Even if eliminated, as long as he was careful, he could still secure a spot in the top hundred. Unfortunately, his luck was bad. Shortly after entering, he encountered Yan Yixiao, the strongest in this assessment, and had no choice but to be eliminated.

“Yan Yixiao is the strongest in this assessment. Losing to him is not unjust!”

Outside the mountain peak, a middle-aged man who had previously stood with Nangong Yuanfeng and the others came over.

Once eliminated, one would be directly teleported here. The great scholars of the Great Confucian Hall could monitor the situation inside in real time.

Ran Fei, descendant of the ancient sage Ranyong.

“I know it’s not unjust... I just feel a bit unwilling!”

Qin Xiao was full of embarrassment.

Being outmatched was something he couldn’t help, but being sent here so soon after entering was truly hard to bear.

“There’s no need to feel unwilling. Yan Yixiao is Yan Xue’s younger brother and has received his guidance. Besides, now that he has gathered so many people, with his cultivation reaching the first level of the Great Saint, the realm of seeing the divine without decay, even defeating him is difficult, let alone you!”

The great scholar Ran Fei smiled and comforted him: “Barring accidents, he will surely laugh last and achieve the highest score...”

In this assessment, ensuring one’s own survival was the most basic requirement. The more people eliminated, the higher one’s ranking.

This Yan Yixiao, with his personal strength ranking first among the two thousand participants, had also gathered six or seven top-tier strongmen. Whoever encountered him had only one path—elimination, with no other option.

“Yes, the lineage of the ancient sage Ziyuan has always produced many strong individuals. There’s no helping it...”

Although unwilling to admit it, Qin Xiao nodded with embarrassment. Before he could finish speaking, he saw a flash of light before his eyes, and a figure fell with a “plop” onto the ground not far away.

“Isn’t that Shi Yuan, descendant of the ancient sage Ziheng? Wasn’t he following Yan Yixiao? I was eliminated by him just now...”

Recognizing the one who had suddenly fallen, Qin Xiao was stunned.

He knew this person.

He was one of the seven in Yan Yixiao’s alliance. Why was he suddenly eliminated and teleported here?

Could it be that someone dared to act against Yan Yixiao?

Plop!

While still in shock, another figure fell before his eyes, another member of Yan Yixiao’s alliance.

Plop! Plop! Plop! Plop!

Four more sounds followed, and four more people fell, each with an embarrassed expression.

“They are all...”

Qin Xiao was dumbfounded.

These people were all old acquaintances, the ones allied with Yan Yixiao. How... in the blink of an eye, were they all eliminated?

Were these people eliminated by Yan Yixiao himself, or had they encountered some formidable enemy?

Unable to hold back, he hurried forward: “What happened to you all...”

Before he could finish, another figure fell with a “plop” right in front of him.

Seeing the person’s face, not only did Qin Xiao’s eyes widen, but Ran Fei beside him also staggered, nearly falling.

It was Yan Yixiao, the descendant of the ancient sage Ziyuan, whom they had believed would surely win first place in this assessment!

The presumed champion struggled to get up from the ground, pointing angrily at the mountain peak before him, unable to contain his fury: “Fan Xiaoxu... I’ll fuck your grandpa...”

Yan Yixiao really wanted to cry.

He was a strongman at the realm of seeing the divine without decay, the presumed champion of this assessment. He had thought he would dominate, but unexpectedly, Fan Xiaoxu grabbed him by the neck and threw him out like a chick, with no power to resist...

A monumental humiliation!

“Teacher Ran Fei, I suspect... Fan Xiaoxu, descendant of the ancient sage Zichi, has cheated. Please dispatch the enforcement team to investigate...”

After cursing, he came before the great scholar Ran Fei and clasped his hands.

“Cheating?”

“Yes. I saw this Fan Xiaoxu half a year ago. Although he was not weak, he was far inferior to me. Now, he not only easily defeated me but also overpowered all these people...”

Yan Yixiao gritted his teeth.

"Fine, I'll notify the Enforcement Team right away to investigate!"

Ran Fei, the great scholar, nodded.

Although he didn't know how cheating could occur, since someone had reported it, and the accused was the predetermined champion, it could not be ignored.

He took out a special communication jade talisman and transmitted the order.

"Don't worry. If there's cheating, there will be traces; it won't escape the eyes of the Great Scholar Hall..."

After arranging things, Ran Fei looked at Yan Yixiao before him and comforted him.

Since it was a fair assessment, cheating was naturally not allowed. But if he was eliminated due to his true strength, then there was nothing to be done.

"Mm."

Yan Yixiao breathed a sigh of relief.

"You just said... Fan Xiaoxu. You were eliminated because you encountered him? How many people did he have on his side to defeat so many of your strong fighters?" Ran Fei asked.

In his view, since the person before him had gathered so many strong fighters, the other side must have done the same.

Otherwise, relying on a single person to defeat a combined force of seven... even a Great Saint Second Layer couldn't do it!

"He..."

His face reddened, and Yan Yixiao's cheek twitched. "Just one person... and there was a Fan Xiaofeng, but he didn't make a move."

"One person?" Ran Fei was stunned. "Did you fight one-on-one?"

"No, we ganged up on him..."

Yan Yixiao's face grew even redder.

Originally, seeing that the other party was strong, he had wanted to invite him to join. But this fool was impervious to reason and angered him, so he had his men attack... Who would have thought that with so many strong fighters, they couldn't even last a single round against him...

"A group ganged up on one, and he single-handedly eliminated all of you?"

Ran Fei's eyes widened in disbelief.

Yan Yixiao didn't want to admit it, but he still had to nod.

"This..."

Ran Fei was so shocked his mouth hung open. Could it be that this Fan Xiaoxu had already reached the Great Saint Second Layer?

To have reached such a level before even entering the Great Scholar Hall...

It couldn't be true!

Full of astonishment, he was about to ask further when he felt another fluctuation of light before him. Another group of people fell like rain, "plop, plop," landing in front of them, each one disheveled.

"It's the Enforcement Team..."

"Isn't the Enforcement Team supposed to eliminate others? Why are they... here too?"

Qin Xiao, Yan Yixiao, and the others all felt dizzy.

The ones appearing before them were none other than the members of the Great Scholar Hall responsible for law enforcement within the mountain.

They had been sent to investigate this Fan Xiaoxu, but unexpectedly, they had all been eliminated and thrown out.

"You don't have your jade tokens..."

Ran Fei couldn't contain himself.

"That Fan Xiaoxu caught me, set up a teleportation array, and threw us out..."

Struggling to his feet, the leader of the Enforcement Team quickly explained.

"Set up a teleportation array... and threw people out?"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

...

Inside the mountain.

Zhang Xuan turned to look at the dazed Fan Xiaofeng. "Let's go. Find Fan Xiaoxing."
