Chapter 206
However, those chains of order were unbreakable, and no matter how he resisted, it was to no avail; he was completely immobilized.
"No need for further words, carry out the execution."
A voice echoed from the void rift; it was the Holy Lord of the Ziwei Sacred Land speaking.
"Hehe..."
The Clear Sky Saint King chuckled softly and slowly extended his slender, fair hand.
Rumble!
A giant, silver, transparent hand materialized in mid-air and slammed down!
No! No!!!
Amidst the piercing screams, the primordial Primordial Spirit from the Ziwei Sacred Land was pulverized into dust, leaving not even a trace behind.
A sage of his generation has vanished into thin air.
Having done all this, the Clear Sky Saint King slowly withdrew his arms, tucked his hands into his sleeves, clasped them at his waist, gazed at the void rift, and calmly spoke:
"If you have nothing else to do, you may leave. Once you return, keep your disciples and followers in check, and prevent them from going astray and causing a tragedy."
"Furthermore, the surviving Sacred Academy Disciple must be compensated!"
Her voice was clear and melodious, yet it carried an undeniable air of authority.
"I will obey the Holy King's decree!"
Those grand voices rang out once more.
Streaks of light flew out from the void rifts and landed on the mottled and cracked ground.
Those were countless spirit stones, elixirs, and rare and precious materials.
Seeing this, the Clear Sky Saint King nodded.
With her approval, the void rift fell silent.
As the saints retreated, the rift in the void healed, and peace returned to the world.
The Clear Sky Saint King breathed a sigh of relief, his gaze sweeping across the surroundings, and he quickly calculated the damage.
"At least a million disciples participated in the trial, but now there may only be a hundred or so left..."
Her eyes sparkled:
"Disciples have perished in previous trials, but those were mostly due to accidents. This tragedy is the first of its kind, and it does cause some trouble..."
She glanced again at the remaining hundred or so people and found that most of them were quite talented and were promising candidates to enter the inner sect.
However, this is not surprising. If these people did not have any means of protecting their lives, they would probably have died at the hands of the saints of the Ziwei Sacred Land.

The Holy Lands will certainly not tell any outsiders about this tragedy, and even the disciples who escaped back will be given a gag order. After all, it is impossible to explain that a saint died in the Holy Academy's trial realm.
The Clear Sky Saint King stood in the void, his voice clear and resonant. "Everyone, due to the wolfish ambitions of the Ziwei Sacred Land, many innocent disciples who participated in the trial have perished. But the dead are gone, and the living must be strong. Please accept these resources as a token of our gratitude. And what happened today must not be spread!"
Splash~
With a wave of her hand, a great deal of spiritual light showered down from the sky, and the rare and precious materials that the holy lands had compensated them for were divided into more than a hundred portions, falling around the crowd.
Instantly, everyone in the arena was greatly invigorated, sensing the incredibly rich spiritual Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, and were all extremely excited:
"Thank you, Clear Sky Saint King!"
"Thank you, Holy King!"
"Thanks to the Holy King's timely arrival, otherwise we would all be dead."
"The Holy King saved our lives; we are unworthy to receive these rare and precious treasures!"
The Rogue Cultivator all knelt on the ground, shouting incessantly.
At that moment, they were completely convinced!
"No need to be so polite. This time, it was due to the mismanagement of the Holy Academy that a group of disciples perished at the hands of the Ziwei Sacred Land. However, this matter is of great importance, so please do not leak it out and prioritize the overall situation!"
"Yes, sir!"
Everyone agreed.
The Clear Sky Saint King turned to the Seventeen Water Spirit King and said, "Things have escalated to this point, there's no need for the third trial. The remaining disciples will all go straight to the inner courtyard and you will take care of them. Don't make them suffer."
Entering the inner courtyard directly means that all of these hundred-odd people must advance to the Primal Embryo Realm in a short period of time.
Although it seems difficult, given the Holy Academy's resources, it's actually quite simple to achieve.
After all, these hundred-odd people were all exceptionally talented, and were geniuses who had the potential to reach the Nascent Soul Realm or even the King Realm.
The Seventeen Water Spirit King nodded, then frowned and said, "Chief, as you know, this trial is mainly in the charge of Yuan Ying Wang, but he's not here right now. I suspect... Moreover, he seems to be colluding with the various holy lands. I suspect this matter might be related to..."
"I understand about this matter and will handle it myself. You don't need to worry about it."
"The Clear Sky Saint King said calmly."
"Yes!"
The Seventeen Water Spirit King cupped his hands and said, about to leave, then turned back and said, "Chief, there are several promising talents in this trial, all of them of impeccable background, especially Xiao Minghuang from the Southern Border, who has the potential of a saint!"
"In addition, there are Ye Ruoshui, Lin Wanqiu, and Han Li from the Southern Border; these three also possess the talent to become candidates for Holy Son Saintess."
"Is this really true?"
The Clear Sky Saint King looked slightly surprised, his slender eyebrows rising slightly. "The appearance of a saint, are you sure?"
"The hundredth floor of the Trial Tower is a prerequisite for attaining sainthood, and I'm certain that this isn't even Xiao Minghuang's limit!"
The Seventeen Water Spirit King spoke solemnly.
"In your opinion, this Xiao Minghuang is destined to become at least a Great Sage, or even a Saint King?"
"Perhaps even more!"
The Clear Sky Saint King chuckled, "It's clear you think highly of her... Very well, in that case, I'll go and see this Xiao Minghuang for myself."
Immediately, she looked down at the ground, her gaze sweeping over Ye Ruoshui, Lin Wanqiu, and Han Li was mingling in the crowd.
"You just said that the four noteworthy disciples, including Xiao Minghuang, all came from the Southern Border?"
The Clear Sky Saint King suddenly asked.
"Indeed, Xiao Minghuang, Ye Ruoshui, and Lin Wanqiu all come from a country called Great Xia in the Southern Border. Han Li is a rogue Rogue Cultivator without any background, but regardless, there is no doubt that all four of them are from Great Xia... By the way, Ye Ruoshui and Lin Wanqiu are both Xiao Minghuang's Dao Companion."
Upon hearing this, the Clear Sky Saint King raised the corners of his mouth slightly and chuckled, "These three little girls are quite interesting..."
"The head?"
The Seventeen Water Spirit King was somewhat puzzled. Was it really that strange?
Was the Clear Sky Saint King concerned that they were both women, or that he was concerned about having two Dao Companion?
"You may take these disciples away first. As for Xiao Minghuang, Lin Wanqiu, Ye Ruoshui, and Han Li, I need to have a few words with them."
The Clear Sky Saint King waved his hand, indicating that the Seventeen Water Spirit King could leave.
"Yes!"
The Seventeen Water Spirit King dared not say more, and immediately landed on the ground, calling for the Rogue Cultivator to gather.
Soon, the group of Rogue Cultivator were taken away.
The swarming crowd vanished in an instant, leaving Han Li alone, awkwardly standing there.
He didn't understand why the Holy Elder had taken everyone else away but left him alone.
Han Li frowned, realizing this was not a simple matter, and silently withdrew...
"Oh no! Could it be that the Holy Academy elders discovered my theft of the treasure and are now going to punish me?!"
Han Li's expression changed, and he cursed inwardly.
There was nothing he could do now that things had come to this.
After all, no matter how many tricks one has, one cannot use them in front of a holy king.
On the other side.
As Ye and Lin watched the group of Rogue Cultivator being taken away by the Seventeen Water Spirit King, an aged voice rang in their ears.
"Your talents are quite good. The Chief said he wants to speak with you personally. Don't be afraid, just wait patiently. When the Chief is there in person, you can say whatever you want."
"Thank you, senior!"
Ye and Lin, the two women, responded.
In the sky.
The Clear Sky Saint King did not rush to speak. With a wave of her hand, a stream of light drifted down from the sky and was caught in her palm.
This stream of light is the true form of the Sky Patrol Mirror.
A shimmering light and a trembling sound appeared, and a mirror the size of a palm slowly emerged. Mysterious patterns appeared in the mirror, moving as if they were alive.
"As expected, there was a problem..."
"The Clear Sky Saint King murmured, then stretched out his other hand and covered the mirror surface."
Buzz!!
After a violent tremor, a wisp of grayish-white gas seeped out from the mirror. The Clear Sky Saint King's gaze was piercing, and under its reflection, the evil energy vanished into thin air, and the Sky Patrol Mirror returned to its calm state.
"Yuan Ying Wang... it really is you!"
A cold glint flashed in the eyes of the Clear Sky Saint King.
The Sky Patrol Mirror is a supreme magical treasure. Generally speaking, even if a Great Sage continuously bombards it with Saint Treasure, it will not be affected.
Not to mention the sages of the Ziwei Sacred Land, who are only at the third level of the Sacred Sky Patrol Mirror. Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for them to break through the boundary and invade the secret realm.
However, the strongest fortresses are always breached from within.
The Sky Patrol Mirror, which cannot be broken by any means from the outside, can be stopped from functioning by a mere wisp of evil energy from within.
After all, the Sky Patrol Mirror's function is not to kill, and its ability to resist evil energy is almost nonexistent.
"Let me see where you've run off to!"
The Clear Sky Saint King looked up, and his pupils suddenly flashed with a silver light, like a laser beam, piercing into the void and instantly traversing billions of miles.

Swish swish!!!
In an instant, her gaze pierced through the entire world, spanning thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions of miles...
The vast and boundless land unfolded before her eyes.
"Huh!"
Suddenly, the Clear Sky Saint King narrowed his eyes, revealing a look of surprise.
"They ran really fast; they actually left East Pole."
If she were within the Eastern Pole, given her mastery of the Void Dao, she could capture her no matter where she was, but once she left the Eastern Pole, she would be difficult to trace.
First of all, she had no idea which world Yuan Ying Wang had fled to.
There are three great worlds adjacent to the Eastern Pole: the Southern Wilderness, the Central Heaven, and the Northern Sea. If he escaped to the Central Heaven, it would be fine, but if he went to the Southern Wilderness or the Northern Sea, there would truly be no chance of catching him forever.
"Very well, Heaven has a benevolent heart and will spare his life."
The Clear Sky Saint King was merciful; considering the difficulty of his cultivation, he spared his life.
After she finished, she fell from the sky, and the holy aura that permeated the surroundings completely subsided. The silver light flowing over her body also disappeared, revealing her true appearance.
She appeared to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, with crystal-clear skin that seemed almost flawless. Her long silver hair cascaded down her shoulders and reached her waist. Her pretty face was absolutely flawless, and her eyes were as deep as the stars in the night sky, giving her a mysterious and noble air.
