The return of Ning Xiaochuan, Ning Xiner, Yu Qianqian, and the others came as a surprise to everyone, leaving the martial artists outside the Heavenly Gate staring at one another. Even the marquises and sect masters were astonished.
Some were shocked, while others were overjoyed! Boom!
After a long while, all the martial artists in the square erupted into an uproar! "Princess Qianqian actually returned alive!"
"Wasn't Ning Xiaochuan killed by Ming Yang?"
"Wasn't it said that Ning Xiner had been knocked into Bloodfall by the three great experts, leaving not even her bones behind? How did she return too?"
Everyone looked toward the four outstanding young talents standing in the square, talking all at once, their faces filled with disbelief.
No one present was happier than the Old Marquis of Sword Pavilion Marquis's Mansion! The wrinkles on his aged face completely smoothed out, making him seem ten years younger. Stroking his beard, he laughed loudly. "Holy Emperor, this old minister believes that although these four children returned a step too late, they managed to walk out of the Fire Demon Mountain Range on their own. Such courage and conviction are truly worthy of praise. They should be given an opportunity."
The leaders of several major powers friendly with Sword Pavilion Marquis's Mansion also stepped forward one after another to advise Jade Ripple Great Emperor.
The marquis of Southern Ape Marquis Residence said, "Heavenly Emperor Academy selects talent and should naturally choose the best, admitting the finest and most worthy. Ning Xiaochuan and Ning Xiner of Sword Pavilion Marquis's Mansion are undeniably exceptional young talents. Their gifts should not be wasted."
The master of Profound Six Martial Mansion said, "The assessment ends today, and the sun has not yet set. This means they returned at exactly the right time.
