Hong Dou was insta-killed by the little girl.
His eyes lost their focus, and his consciousness faded away. His body was also slowly teleported out of the compet.i.tion grounds.
Witnessing this terrifying sight, Dong Yan started to s.h.i.+ver in fright. She hid behind a boulder and tried her best to suppress her aura.
Sh*t! The speed and power of this girl were completely beyond Dong Yan’s comprehension.
With such a ma.s.sive gulf in power, how the heck could Dong Yan obtain the holy grail? She would be running to her death if she were to reveal herself.
The pitiable Hong Dou. He was eliminated after only saying a greeting…
After observing a minute of silence for her teammate, Dong Yan once again turned her attention back to the little girl.
No! Dong Yan suddenly came to her senses and shook her head. I’m turning my attention back to the Queen , she thought to herself.
Seeing Hong Dou disappear, the Queen pursed her lips and returned back to her spit roast. She had a look of indifference on her face as she turned the spit rod, and it was as if she had simply done something trivial and insignificant.
Meanwhile, An Lin and the others also heard the p.r.o.nouncement of Hong Dou’s elimination, and a slight feeling of apprehension gripped at their hearts.
“Who would’ve thought that the Hall of Creation would manage to arrive before us,” Liu Qianhuan exclaimed in surprise.
“It’s not necessarily the case that he was defeated by the war demon guarding the holy grail. Perhaps he was defeated by the representatives of another power?” w.a.n.g Xuanzhan smiled faintly, and there was a look of nonchalance on his face.
An Lin shrugged his shoulders. “If that’s the case, then whichever power did it is so lame…”
A similar exchange also took place between amongst the Buddhist Kingdom and Garden of Eden. Apart from expressing their surprise, the representatives didn’t appear to be too worried.
On Blue Sky Plaza, the Hall of Creation’s Huang Shan and Hong Dou lay half-dead on a healing spell formation. They remained silent as they gazed at the crystal screen dazedly.
After a short while, Hong Dou finally murmured, “At that time, we were so daring and full of mettle. We first entrapped the Heavenly Court and Garden of Eden, then had the monks flee in terror. We were easily going to win this battle for the holy grails over chatter and laughs. Now, however, we’re going to wind up with zero points…”
Boom!
A bolt of golden lightning struck Hong Dou’s head, and thick black smoke started wafting from it.
“W-why did you strike me?” Hong Dou was dumbfounded, and he wailed in grief and indignation.
“You f*cking big mouth. If there weren’t so many people, I would leap over right now and beat you to death!” The sound of Hong Dou’s voice infuriated Huang Shan, and his eyes were extremely cold as he looked toward Hong Dou.
Hong Dou felt a cold chill envelop his entire body, and he s.h.i.+vered uncontrollably.
That was right! This was Huang Shan’s killing intent! He wasn’t joking!
Amidst the Zhong Long mountain ranges, the three representatives of the Heavenly Court were still flying through the skies and searching for suspicious signs.
“We still haven’t discovered anything even though we’ve almost flown out of the Zhong Long mountain ranges. Did we stray from the correct direction?” An Lin asked anxiously.
“Who cares if we’re slightly off. I’ve already made fine adjustments two times. I don’t have any energy left to prepare another Aura Tracking Spell Formation~!”
Preparing Aura Tracking Spell Formations was extremely taxing on the mind. Liu Qianhuan pouted her lips and looked elsewhere, ignoring An Lin.
w.a.n.g Xuanzhan understood that this wasn’t something they could control. Being able to determine the approximate direction was already very fortunate. All they could do now was to scour the surroundings and look for small hints.
“Huh? It seems like there’s flames flickering over on that mountain.” His eyes lit up as he looked toward a large mountain in the distance.
“Flames? It’s not the camp of some other force, right?” An Lin also noticed the faint glow. From the distance, it looked like a flas.h.i.+ng star in the darkness of the night.
“Let’s go check it out. If it’s the Buddhist Kingdom or Garden of Eden, then we’ll find an opportunity to eliminate them!” Liu Qianhuan said in excitement.
An Lin and w.a.n.g Xuanzhan didn’t have any objections to this suggestion. Instead of fighting for the golden holy grail, it would probably be easier to eliminate their compet.i.tion. After all, they had the highest total score right now. If their opponents were all eliminated, then they would come first!
Just like that, the three of them flew recklessly toward the glowing flame.
When An Lin and the others saw the person next to the flames, they were all rooted to the spot in bewilderment.
A young girl was currently munching on a wild boar leg gripped in her hands. She was wearing a white dress and glanced apathetically at the three people who had appeared before her.
Seeing these three people appear, the secretly observing Dong Yan rejoiced in schadenfreude. “Approaching the golden holy grail so recklessly… This is going to be fun to watch. w.a.n.g Xuanzhan is a bit stronger, so he should be able to take two of those punches…”
The students on Blue Sky Plaza also clenched their fists anxiously.
They had all witnessed this little girl’s power. Now that the representatives of the Heavenly Court were approaching her so recklessly, it could be said that they were skating on thin ice.
The little girl stood up silently as she regarded these three uninvited guests, and she c.o.c.ked her head slightly.
An Lin and w.a.n.g Xuanzhan both tensed up. They saw the golden holy grail on her crown!
Liu Qianhuan also noticed the crown on the little girl’s head, and her purple eyes lit up. “You’re wearing a crown on your head,” she exclaimed in excitement. “Could it be that you’re… Her Majesty, the Queen?!”
An Lin: “…”
w.a.n.g Xuanzhan: “…”
Dong Yan: “…”
An Lin, w.a.n.g Xuanzhan, and Dong Yan were all stupefied.
An Lin and w.a.n.g Xuanzhan were given a fright by Liu Qianhuan’s bizarre line of thought.
As for Dong Yan… Holy f*ck! What’s with this G.o.dly opening remark?! How did she know to address this little girl as Her Majesty, the Queen? She’s cheating right?! She’s used backdoor connections, right?!
The girl in the white dress was also slightly dazed.
When she came to her senses, her expression relaxed a little. To everyone’s surprise, she smiled faintly and said, “You’ve got quite the keen sense. This Queen will give you guys the chance to speak. Speak, for what reason did you come here?”
An Lin and w.a.n.g Xuanzhan were dumbfounded once again. The little girl actually smiled!
This kind of opening remark was actually successful in initiating a discourse! Also, was this little girl truly a Queen?!
Their minds were whirring as they turned their gaze back toward Liu Qianhuan. As if they were looking at a hacker, there was a look of disbelief on their faces.
The girl asked them what they came for… Wasn’t this f*cking nonsense? They came to retrieve the holy grail of course!
But… They couldn’t tell her this, could they…?
For some reason, An Lin and w.a.n.g Xuanzhan didn’t reply. Instead, they waited for Liu Qianhuan to speak.
Only Liu Qianhuan’s mysterious line of thought would be able to get through to this quirky little girl. She had already become the Heavenly Court’s foreign secretary!!
“Your Majesty, we’ve come here because we want to admire the crown on your head,” Liu Qianhuan smiled sincerely.
The little girl knitted her brows slightly. This answer was a bit unexpected. “Admire This Queen’s crown?”
Liu Qianhuan nodded. “That’s right. I have a hobby of studying the craftsmans.h.i.+p of crowns. If Your Majesty can let me study the crown for a second, then I’ll be forever grateful!”
An Lin and w.a.n.g Xuanzhan finally came to their senses when they heard Liu Qianhuan’s words. Genius! As expected of our foreign secretary, this pretext is rational and reasonable and doesn’t appear abrupt at all!
It was most likely that one was judged as having obtained a holy grail when they held it in their hands. This could be seen from their interaction with the Blood Skeleton. Which was to say, they could completely use this as an excuse to hold the holy grail in their hands. That way, they would be able to successfully obtain the holy grail, no?!
In the worst-case scenario that this didn’t work, they could just run away with the holy grail. This could also minimize the dangers of obtaining the holy grail. If they were successful in their escape, then the judges outside would have no choice but to accept their victory, right…?
The three of them all looked at the little girl in eager antic.i.p.ation.
The little girl chuckled. However, this chuckle was very cold, and it sent a chill down their spines.
“Hehe. Do you guys think I’m easy to fool just because I’m a child?”
w.a.n.g Xuanzhan, An Lin, and Liu Qianhuan’s expressions all changed drastically.
