"I must be crazy, why has it co to this!"
In a narrow alley of Tam Village, King Caesar leaned against the wall with a helpless expression, breathing slightly:
"Can soone tell what on earth happened here?"
Looking at the village around him, half-destroyed and empty, King Caesar's heart was filled with confusion and unease.
He couldn't fathom what could have happened in the short ti since his death to cause such a state.
Suddenly, a flash of insight struck King Caesar's mind:
"Could it be..."
Sothing occurred to him, an idea so exciting it suddenly appeared in his mind:
'Could it be that Emperor Pu made a move?'
At the thought of this possibility, King Caesar's face instantly lit up with excitent.
For him, as long as the threat from that old man in the purple robe was eliminated, he could search for the remaining badges without concerns.
That was how he could justify using the one badge he wasted on resurrection, wasn't it?
But before he could be happy for three seconds, a dialog box popped up in front of him displaying:
"All badges have been acquired, return countdown: 5s"
Seeing this, King Caesar's eyes widened instantly, his voice filled with a piercing scream:
"No!!"
...
As the five-second countdown ended, all the live broadcast screens on the official website were imdiately shut down.
As for Zhang Xinying and the others, they had already appeared in Ancient God Town.
It was obvious that King Caesar's expression was so gloomy it seed like water could drip from it.
However, Zhang Xinying and Shengshi the Drunkard didn't seem to mind much.
Emperor Pu appeared the most composed.
But Adolf's face was fluctuating unpredictably as he looked back and forth between Zhang Xinying and Shengshi the Drunkard, as if weighing sothing.
Before them was the Guardian who had been waiting there for a while.
When the five of them appeared, the Guardian imdiately spoke:
"Congratulations on completing the test."
"Now you have 30 minutes to decide whether to challenge any of the others."
"If no one initiates a challenge, I'll proceed to announce the results of this round."
After saying this, the Guardian stepped back to the side, leaving the five standing on the desolate street of Ancient God Town, each occupied with their own thoughts.
Then Emperor Pu was the first to speak:
"I forfeit the challenge."
Imdiately, Zhang Xinying was the second to speak:
"I also forfeit the challenge."
With the two of them speaking, the remaining three stood in the street observing each other.
However, among these three, Adolf's intentions were already quite clear.
Because his gaze was mostly fixed on Zhang Xinying.
Among these people, only when facing Zhang Xinying could he be sure of victory.
With his current record of one badge, he had no other option.
But King Caesar had more concerns than anyone present.
He currently had four badges, but he didn't know if that was considered a lot or a little.
In his eyes, Emperor Pu and Adolf were out of the question.
His gaze similarly fell between Zhang Xinying and Shengshi the Drunkard.
From what he knew, Zhang Xinying had at least two badges.
In the remaining ti, it was impossible for her not to have acquired more badges.
Therefore, he hesitated, unsure if he should challenge Zhang Xinying for an exchange.
While King Caesar was in indecision, Adolf unexpectedly spoke up:
"I challenge Miss Lemon Rabbit from Hua Country."
Then he looked at the Guardian, who nodded and said:
"Challenge effective."
Then the Guardian said to Zhang Xinying:
"Challenged, please prepare."
Yet in the next mont, to everyone's amazent, Zhang Xinying raised her hand directly and said:
"I concede."
Both Adolf and King Caesar looked incredulously at Zhang Xinying, not expecting her to concede so straightforwardly.
King Caesar's brow furrowed tightly: 'Could I have guessed wrong?'
As the challenger, Adolf was a bit surprised by Zhang Xinying's straightforwardness, but seeing the number of badges he now had, his face lit up with joy.
Yet before the smile could spread across his face, Adolf felt a scorching gaze, and the smile froze on his face.
Adolf turned his head to find King Caesar looking over with a somber expression, causing Adolf's heart to tighten.
He quickly restrained his emotions.
At this point, the Guardian suddenly spoke:
"Is there anyone else who wishes to challenge?"
Then Shengshi the Drunkard said:
"I also forfeit the challenge."
The Guardian's face showed a hint of surprise, but he didn't say much and instead looked at King Caesar:
"And you?"
Among the five present, he was the only one who hadn't expressed his stance.
Apart from Zhang Xinying, he could still challenge anyone else.
For King Caesar at this mont, it was akin to a gamble; he had to bet whether the badges they held were more or fewer than his own.
After Adolf's successful challenge, his gaze shifted between Shengshi the Drunkard and Adolf.
Finally, he fixed his gaze on Adolf; the amount of badges he currently possessed was what Zhang Xinying previously had.
Seeing the joy on Adolf's face earlier, it was evident that the quantity of badges was not small.
Adding in the one he had lost due to resurrection, he suddenly pointed at Adolf and said:
"I challenge him!"
...
[Epilogue]
Tam Village
When Emperor Pu and the others were teleported away, Jia Decang and a group of people fled directly back to the Jia family courtyard.
They didn't yet know that Emperor Pu and the others had completed the trial and left, so at this mont, everyone there was trembling with fear.
For soone capable of killing a Sixth Transformation Magic Emperor, killing them would be all too easy.
They had been hunting him all over before, never expecting that tables would turn, casting a thick shadow of death over the entire Jia residence.
In the Jia family courtyard, a neat-looking man spoke to Jia Decang with a sobbing voice:
"Father, we must run away quickly!"
"Leave this place."
"Now that the Great Elder is dead, the Jia family is finished."
"If we stay, we'll all die!"
This man was the sa one in the beast vehicle when Lin Yi first arrived at Tam Village, and he was also the notorious young master of the Jia family, Jia Sheng.
Now, he appeared to be a completely different person from the high and mighty deanor he had in the beast vehicle, his face filled with fear of the future.
Jia Decang, already full of anger after the Great Elder's death, looked at his useless son and flew into a rage:
"You disgraceful wretch."
In this mont, he seed to find an outlet for his emotions, raising a hand and slapping Jia Sheng across the face:
"Smack~"
With that slap.
Caught off-guard, Jia Sheng spat blood instantly, spun in place, and fell to the ground, seeing stars.
Jia Decang felt no pity, looking instead with a face full of bitter resentnt:
"If you could achieve anything, would the Jia family have fallen to such a state?"
"Look at yourself now, where is the responsibility of a Jia family young master? Why panic!"
But just then, a Jia family servant suddenly ran in from the main gate with an alard expression:
"Master, sothing terrible has happened."
Upon hearing this, Jia Decang's anger flared up, and he shouted:
"The Great Elder is dead, but I'm still here. What's so terrible?!"
"A bunch of useless people."
No sooner had he spoken than a voice full of taunt ca from the entrance:
"Oh, Jia Clan Leader, what a temper you have, huh~"
Following this, a middle-aged man in General Armor appeared at the gate of Jia residence.
Seeing this person, Jia Decang almost blurted out:
"City Lord, you!"
In the next mont, a group of fully ard Silver Armored Guards poured in through the gate, surrounding all the Jia family mbers present.
The middle-aged man referred to as the City Lord spoke with a voice like thunder, full of authority:
"I've heard of your Jia family's countless cris and harming of the local community."
"I never thought you'd be so insane as to ignore even the Commander I dispatched. Do you think Nova City is made of clay?"
Saying this, his face, full of distinct features, brimd with a lethal intent:
"Arrest all the Jia family mbers."
"If anyone resists, kill them on the spot!"
At that mont, Jia Decang felt as if the sky had fallen, suddenly kneeling to the ground with a gloomy expression, mumbling: 'The Jia family is finished!'
