Goddess of the Judgment Abyss, Shangguan Xieyue

With that, he flicked his wrist, drew his sword, and, to the astonishment of the head of the Discipline Hall, pierced straight through his heart.

The Discipline Hall stared wide-eyed at Wan Huaishan in disbelief.

His lips trembled, and he managed to utter only one word with difficulty. "You..."

However, before he could finish speaking, he breathed his last, his body collapsing heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Wan Huaishan coldly stared at the corpse on the ground, thinking to himself: He was in a position but failed to fulfill his duties, and had even provoked Ran'er twice. He had truly reached his limit.

Wan Huaishan turned around, his gaze sharp as he swept over the crowd, and said in a deep voice, "The competition continues!"

Everyone felt a chill and quickly nodded in agreement.

In the following competitions, until the end, everyone behaved properly and honestly in their challenges, and there was no further instance of Qian Yu's reckless behavior.

With the conclusion of the final match, a new ranking was established.

Everyone looked up and saw the list in mid-air shining brightly.

[First: Nan Xunran]

[Second: Pei Zimo]

[Third: Pei Ziheng]

[...]

[Twenty-eight: Wen Rong]

Pei Zimo smiled, walked up to Wen Rong, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Impressive, to be among the top thirty so soon after entering the Holy Land."

Wen Rong replied, "You're even more impressive."

Pei Zimo crossed his arms, threw his head back, and laughed heartily, saying without a trace of modesty, "Of course, I can beat anyone except my lord."

Nan Clan

Nan Xiao sat at the table, lightly holding a teacup in his hand. He looked up at the Shangguan Family and asked, "Attending the banquet?"

The attendant bowed respectfully and said, "Miss Xieyue has passed the Heavenly Dao Trial and has now become the Goddess of the Judgment Abyss."

A hint of surprise flashed in Nan Xiao's eyes. He put down his teacup and said, "Judgment Abyss?"

The Judgment Abyss has existed in the world since ancient times. Its main duty is to act on behalf of Heavenly Dao in the human world. It will never easily appear in the world without the order of Heavenly Dao.

What is the purpose of its reappearance in the world? And why does the Heavenly Dao still exist? Never mind, if necessary, it can be erased again.

The servant took a small step forward, bowing even lower, and said, "Indeed, the Third Miss specifically ordered me to invite the Divine Son of the Nan Clan to the banquet."

Nan Xiao thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."

Upon receiving confirmation, the attendant's tense body instantly relaxed, and he let out a long sigh of relief.

She thought to herself, "The Third Miss hasn't seen this member of the Nan Clan for a long time because of the Heavenly Dao Trial. She has an exceptionally fiery temper, yet no one can do anything about her."

The attendant bowed again and said, "Then I will go back and report."

Nan Xiao raised his hand and said calmly, "Step down."

Senluo Hall

Shangguan Xieyue leaned against the carved long chair, her cascading black hair falling loosely, her beautiful eyes fixed on the doorway, her gaze revealing urgency and impatience.

When she saw the servants who had gone to the Nan Clan appear, she sat up abruptly and asked anxiously, "How did it go?"

The servant quickly bowed and said, "Miss, you agree."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Xieyue's face instantly blossomed into a radiant smile. She clapped her hands excitedly and exclaimed coquettishly, "Great! I can finally see A-Xun again!"

She casually waved her jade-like hand and said nonchalantly, "You may leave now."

The servant, feeling as if he had been granted a pardon, quickly bowed and took a few steps back before hurriedly turning and leaving.

Shangguan Xieyue was still immersed in joy, but when she suddenly remembered the Heavenly Dao, her pretty face fell.

She cursed inwardly, "That damned Heavenly Dao! It insists on claiming that I have a close relationship with some villain and wants to choose me as the Goddess of the Judgment Abyss."

But they deliberately kept it a secret, refusing to reveal the true identity of the villain no matter what.

She clenched her fists tightly, her knuckles turning white, her brows furrowed, and muttered to herself, "The one closest to me is A-Xun. A-Xun and Mother are definitely not it, but since Heavenly Dao says so, could it be my sister?"

Forget about that for now. The Heavenly Dao is nowhere to be found, impossible to contact; it's best if it disappears!

The day of the banquet

The Thundercloud Chariot suddenly appeared above the Senluo Hall. Shangguan Xieyue rushed out impatiently, her eyes fixed on the Thundercloud Chariot, full of anticipation.

Nan Xunran leaped down, and Shangguan Xieyue, dressed in a dazzling red dress, called out sweetly, "A-Xun!"

In front of the many prominent families present, she casually took Nan Xunran's arm, and the two walked into the banquet hall.

Shangguan Xiling slightly raised her eyes, glanced at the two of them indifferently, and then turned back as if nothing had happened.

She had only met the Nan Clan's divine son a handful of times, and her impression of him was limited to the fact that he was the number one genius in the Sacred Domain and extremely handsome.

In addition, there's his own younger sister's astonishing nickname—"The Mad Dog of the Nan Clan's Divine Child."

She truly admired that.
