King of Assassins-Chapter 858 - 622: Repeatedly (2)

She believed that with the control exerted by the Golden Orchid Association, there wouldn't be any unexpected incidents.

Gao Xuan thought otherwise; there were still two to three hundred Trial Warriors among them. Among these people, there were no lack of masters.

However, with seventeen Evil God Fragments in his possession, getting second place shouldn't be too difficult.

After experiencing the Blood Moon catastrophe, Night Demon City suddenly became quiet. Even the Evil Ghosts at night were gone.

Everyone stayed in Night Demon City peacefully, not encountering any unexpected events.

When the time came to leave, all the Trial Warriors gathered at the center of Night Demon City.

The massive Teleportation Gate opened, and the Trial Warriors entered in an orderly manner.

The people of the Golden Orchid Association naturally gathered together as a group. The other two hundred or so Trial Warriors broke into several small groups, casually standing around.

Compared to the large group of the Golden Orchid Association, these Trial Warriors seemed weak and outnumbered.

People of the Golden Orchid Association were quite proud and complacent.

"Are these people crazy, organizing factions within the Holy Hall?"

Cao Jinyun saw the enormous presence of the Golden Orchid Association, and his face turned a bit grim.

Zhao Ying shook her head: "It must be Qin Fei causing trouble. This woman has too many bad ideas."

Cao Jinyun said worriedly: "If they really stick together, we'll surely be bullied. Damn it!"

He glanced around, still unable to find Cao Ye's figure, which made him somewhat uneasy.

This trial was very unsmooth. Cao Jinyun hadn't encountered Cao Ye, nor received any help.

During the Blood Moon catastrophe days ago, Cao Jinyun did not participate in the fight, only watched from afar, and was unclear about the entire battle process.

Therefore, Cao Jinyun had no good impression of Gao Xuan and the others. Even when he inquired afterwards, he didn't get any information about Cao Ye. Until it was time to leave, Cao Ye still hadn't shown up. Could something have happened?

Zhao Ying also hadn't participated in the catastrophe battle, so she especially disliked Qin Fei, including Gao Xuan, whom she also held in contempt.

She said to Cao Jinyun: "That guy called Black Tiger, a whole group is calling him boss. What are they up to?"

"I heard this person performed excellently in the blood battle, saving many people. He has considerable prestige among that group."

Cao Jinyun sneered, "Someone from a low background, Qin Fei flatters him, isn't it just to use him to gather people's hearts? Qin Fei really is shameless, actually currying favor with someone from a low background."

"This woman is very insidious. We must be careful."

Zhao Ying said: "I heard they evenly distributed the Evil God Fragments. This is perfect; we can take the top three places."

"Haha..."

Cao Jinyun laughed heartily: "Good idea! It's settled then. The top three prizes are of high value, can't let Qin Fei's group have them cheap..."

After emerging from the Teleportation Gate, the numerous Trial Warriors returned to the Holy Hall.

Golden Belt Saint Huang Tingdao, along with many high-level figures of the Holy Hall, were already waiting there.

Several staff responsible for registration stood behind tables in anticipation.

Huang Tingdao was greatly shocked to see that the Trial Warriors had dwindled to less than a thousand.

Those who could become Trial Warriors, were elites among elites.

Even with significant losses, the death of a few hundred would have been remarkable.

Now, unexpectedly, 60% of the Trial Warriors were lost. This loss was excessively severe.

For someone like Huang Tingdao, his face changed. Even more so for other high-ranking figures of the Holy Hall, who all had somber expressions.

Chief Examiner Huang Yingyue walked up, full of shame, and quietly explained the situation briefly.

Huang Tingdao, after all, was a Golden Core Powerhouse, and quickly adjusted his emotions to accept the harsh reality.

The death of two thousand Trial Warriors was a huge event. However, the space fragments of Evil Gods always posed various dangers.

Since the incident had already occurred, he had no means to resurrect the deceased. At his status, few dared to criticize him.

Huang Tingdao had no ambitions for promotion; even if the headquarters blamed him, there wasn't much they could do. At most he would be mildly reprimanded.

The real trouble was that the major Noble Families of the Cloud Light Star Realm had suddenly lost so many talented youth, surely garnering curses. But they wouldn't dare to curse him to his face. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Overall, this trial was extremely brutal with significant losses. But personally, it had little impact on Huang Tingdao.

The person most affected was Huang Yingyue. Originally meant to gain some experience by leading, and getting some benefits on the side.

Unexpectedly, no benefits were gained. With such heavy losses, regardless of the reason, the chief examiner would surely have to bear responsibility.

Huang Yingyue inevitably faced demotion and would have to undergo investigation and accountability. Given her age, having experienced such an incident meant no more chances for promotion.

Having understood the situation, Huang Tingdao refrained from saying more and ordered the Trial Warriors to submit Evil God Fragments and report their individual combat achievements.

With nearly a thousand Trial Warriors reporting, the scene became a bit chaotic.

Qin Fei took the opportunity to join Cao Jinyun and Zhao Ying, greeting them with a smile: "Both of you, doing well, I see."

Cao Jinyun returned the greeting with a smile: "Doing well, Little Sister Qin also doing well."

Zhao Ying disliked Qin Fei, nodding coldly.

Unfazed, Qin Fei said: "I'll be direct, there's something to discuss with both of you."

Zhao Ying frowned and asked displeased: "What matter?"

"Let's talk online."

Qin Fei cast a secretive glance at Huang Tingdao in the center of the hall, reluctant to openly speak those matters in his presence.

Chatting on the Celestial Net, even with Huang Tingdao's power, he couldn't detect it.

"Sneaky business, no good can come of it."

Zhao Ying said as much, but her curiosity was piqued — what could the proud Qin Fei possibly want from them?
