"The first round is over!"
"How many people have advanced?"
"Not many, in the Demon Venerable Group with tens of thousands of participants, having a hundred people advance is already good."
"Same for the Golden Immortal Group, probably only a few dozen advanced."
There was overwhelming speculation, but the most attention was naturally focused on the Chaos Group.
The Chaos Group was the highest level competition of the Evangelical Assembly.
Even Lie Yu Quasi-Emperor flew over immediately.
However, when the light dispersed and the silhouettes became clear, this mid-stage Quasi-Emperor expert was dumbfounded.
And the entire venue erupted in a tsunami-like outcry.
"Hundreds went over, yet only two returned?"
"No way, how is this possible?"
Not being transmitted back means they died on the battlefield.
Although the competitions in the Demon Realm are always cruel, killing for treasures is a common practice, but this casualty rate is too extreme, isn't it?
Look at the neighboring Demon King Group, and further away, the Demon Venerable Group.
Though the advancement rate is very low, most of the participants still returned alive.
"Those Profound Immortals were just courting death, so it's not surprising they didn't return alive."
"But the three Quasi-Emperors, only one returned?"
"Did the other two die?"
"Damn, did a Quasi-Emperor just die like that?"
"How did that Celestial Immortal survive?"
"Moreover, she acquired the Promotion Jade Talisman, how did she manage that?"
"Her luck is way too good, isn't it?"
In the eyes of the spectating demon cultivators, besides luck, there couldn't be any other explanation.
Lie Yu Quasi-Emperor was also in disbelief.
His main concern was still the death of the two Quasi-Emperors.
"Did they really die?"
"Yes!"
Guma Quasi-Emperor glanced at Cai Ying beside him and nodded with a complex expression.
After his confirmation, the crowd became even more tumultuous.
Lie Yu Quasi-Emperor directly began questioning his own reality.
"How is this possible?"
A Quasi-Emperor shouldn't die so easily. Even if the Assembly is fiercely competitive, it's not this brutal!
"What happened, how could this be?"
The Holy Hall wants everyone to compete actively, but also doesn't want such large-scale casualties!
Guma Quasi-Emperor mentally thought what else could it be, naturally it's because of this Celestial Immortal beside him.
But now he was her servant, he didn't dare to reveal Cai Ying's background.
He could only sullenly say, "It was because of the her Pool Jade, the struggle was too fierce."
Lie Yu Quasi-Emperor's mouth twitched, the conflict was overly intense indeed.
While the outside continued its speculation, his eyes turned to Cai Ying.
"How did she survive?"
Now that registration was over, Cai Ying held no value in Lie Yu Quasi-Emperor's eyes.
He didn't want to see this Celestial Immortal continue living.
Originally thought that in the first round, she would die without a trace.
But now, it turned out...
If she survives, in the subsequent Artifact Refining competitions her true identity will be revealed!
By then, everyone would know she wasn't an Artifact Refining expert, far less a once in a billion years miracle.
And facing his inquiry, Guma Quasi-Emperor's expression was cryptically complex.
Without permission, he dared not casually talk about Cai Ying.
And Cai Ying herself merely glanced at Lie Yu Quasi-Emperor coldly, then indifferently said, "What does it matter to you?"
What?
Did he just hear that?
Lie Yu Quasi-Emperor almost doubted he was hearing hallucinations.
This Celestial Immortal dared to speak to him like this?
Wasn't she previously particularly obedient?
She's rebelling!
Lie Yu Quasi-Emperor didn't need to speak, those Demon Venerable and Demon King figures immediately jumped out.
"Bold!"
"Such impudence from a Celestial Immortal towards a Quasi-Emperor?"
"Who gave her the guts?"
"Why doesn't she quickly kneel and apologize to Lord Lie Yu!"
To this, Little Sparrow Demon just coldly tossed a word.
"Scram!"
The crowd was in upheaval.
This Celestial Immortal is out of her mind, gone crazy, right?
"Kill her!"
"Destroy her!"
A group of Demon Kings and Demon Venerables were furious beyond measure.
Even many Golden Immortals and Profound Immortals joined in the clamor.
"A mere Celestial Immortal, overestimating herself."
"Without rules, she must be taught a lesson!"
Originally, everyone worried Lie Yu Quasi-Emperor might protect this Celestial Immortal, since he personally chose her.
But now he merely watched indifferently, without making an attempt to intervene.
So everyone became even more eager.
They were about to act when Guma Quasi-Emperor stepped forward.
Quasi-Emperor level pressure swept across the crowd, directly pushing the surrounding demon cultivators away from Cai Ying.
"Who dares to touch her?"
He had no choice but to protect Cai Ying.
If she were killed, then he would die too, and cry without a place to go.
"Whoever touches her, I'll kill them!"
Seeing him exhibit killing intent, the Demon Kings and Demon Venerables trembled.
Each and every one scurried away, retreating to the back.
Inwardly condemning Cai Ying to death, Lie Yu Quasi-Emperor's face hardened, unabashedly showing displeasure.
"Guma Quasi-Emperor, what is your intention?"
He remembered clearly, just three days ago at the same venue, Guma Quasi-Emperor had loudly proclaimed he would kill Cai Ying.
That conviction was resolute.
Almost didn't give him any face.
And now, suddenly he defended her?
This is too bewildering!
Guma Quasi-Emperor found it hard to express, if he explained the truth, his reputation would be in ruins.
He could only keep a straight face, coldly saying, "Lie Yu Quasi-Emperor, have you forgotten, Cai Ying passed the first round?"
"She is still a competitor in the Evangelical Assembly."
"The Holy Hall already decreed that no one should harm the advancing contestants!"
"As a Holy Hall Steward, you stand by idly, what are you intending to do?"
Ah, this?
Lie Yu Quasi-Emperor was directly left speechless.
He didn't believe Guma Quasi-Emperor's words.
That guy, being that righteous?
Total nonsense.
There must be a special reason, yet he couldn't fathom that the Quasi-Emperor became a Celestial Immortal's servant.
Ultimately, he could only storm off in anger.
And when both Guma Quasi-Emperor and Cai Ying left, the remaining spectators finally exploded in discussion.
"Damn, what just happened?"
"What background does that Little Celestial Immortal have, for Guma Quasi-Emperor to protect her so fiercely?"
"Who knows?"
"Her passing the first round was already shocking enough, it's truly a miracle."
"I slightly suspect Guma Quasi-Emperor helped her pass."
"Definitely!"
"Either way, now no one can provoke this Celestial Immortal."
"Yes, her backing is too strong."
"Hmph, next round she'll be competing in the Holy Hall, by then she can't rely on her backing."
The results of the first round preliminary soon spread out.
Cai Ying was already a well-known figure in the Linming War Zone, and now her fame spread to several surrounding war zones.
After all, a Celestial Immortal passing the first round is astonishing.
Countless demon cultivators began discussing, it was lively everywhere.
And amid this chatter, the true final competition was approaching.
