C39 The Competition Began
"Ke Er, are you alright?"
Scorching Sun King watched Eighth Prince walk away before he let out a cold snort and looked at Qin Ke with concern.
"Thank you, father, for worrying. I'm fine. It's just some minor injuries!"
Qin Ke greeted Scorching Sun King and replied.
"Minor injuries? Let me see!"
However, Qin Ke never expected Scorching Sun King to pull his palm nervously the moment he finished speaking.
Instantly, a gentle Blood Qi Strength rushed into Qin Ke's body from Scorching Sun King's body!
Qin Ke pretended to be calm, but he hurriedly hid the Blood Drinking Knife, Human King Sword, and the three blood-red suns inside the Soul Sea!
These were all Qin Ke's secrets, they could not be exposed!
Even if it was in front of Scorching Sun King, he couldn't expose them!
"En! It's nothing serious!"
After Scorching Sun King checked, he was relieved and slowly said, "Later I will get someone to give you a few Blood Cloud Pills to rest for a while. It will be fine!"
"Go back and prepare well. Don't delay the competition tomorrow!"
Scorching Sun King patted Qin Ke's shoulder and encouraged him.
As soon as he finished speaking, Scorching Sun King and Qin Mang controlled their blood Qi and soared into the sky.
Looking at Scorching Sun King, who had come and left in a hurry, Qin Ke thought in his heart. For a moment, all kinds of emotions were intertwined, and even he himself was unable to figure it out. Was Scorching Sun King's true affection for him or was it just because he was able to protect the reputation of Prince Lie Yang'S Mansion?
No matter what, Scorching Sun King didn't have any ill intentions towards him. He had even protected him at critical moments. This was enough!
"Qin Ke, I'm sorry. It was I who implicated you!"
Yun Qianqian walked over with her head lowered. She looked at Qin Ke with a face full of shame.
"I'm fine!"
Qin Ke said coldly, then turned around and left.
At this moment, Qin Ke actually did not know what kind of attitude he should have towards Yun Qianqian!
On one hand, Qin Ke was indeed tempted by this woman who was obviously weak but pretended to be strong!
But he was also particularly mindful that she was actually Eighth Prince's imperial concubine!
When he thought of Yun Qianqian's confession to him previously, Qin Ke's heart felt a burst of soreness. Stopping his steps, he did not turn around and said, "Since you are already Eighth Prince's imperial concubine, why bother teasing a little civilian like me who has ascended? Imperial Concubine!"
Finishing, Qin Ke left without turning his head back!
" Imperial Concubine? "
Looking at Qin Ke's gradually disappearing back, tears rolled down from Yun Qianqian's eyes disappointedly!
Imperial Concubine, shouted from Qin Ke's mouth. It was like an incomparably sharp thorn that pierced straight through her heart!
Yun Qianqian only felt wronged and miserable. She wanted to speak but could not find a suitable person to listen!
For a moment, on this street, Yun Qianqian squatted down with grievance and held her head as she sobbed!
Dark clouds covered the sky, blocking the sun!
A sudden rain fell in a hurry!
The huge raindrops fell on the limestone floor and split into eight pieces, each of which was crystal clear!
Each of them reflected an aggrieved face of tears and a broken heart!
An oil-paper umbrella silently appeared, blocking the falling raindrops!
"Qianqian, let's go back! Don't spoil yourself!"
Eighth Prince held the umbrella with a cold smile on his face!
"Royal Father has already decided on our wedding date. I am here to bring you back to the Imperial City!"
Eighth Prince seemed to be casually talking about something that had nothing to do with him. The corner of his mouth curled up into a cold smile. He could vaguely sense the hidden killing intent and hatred that he had!
He did not like Yun Qianqian, but in order to win the favor of the Qian Emperor, he had to marry her!
He knew even more that Yun Qianqian was not willing to marry him!
However, this did not matter!
What he wanted was not this woman in front of him, but power and desire!
As long as he married Yun Qianqian, the secret that had been passed down in the Yun Family for thousands of years, as well as the heaven-covering treasure, would all be his!
"As long as you marry me, the Ardent Sun City will be able to return to your Yun Family!"
Eighth Prince looked at Yun Qianqian's shoulder, which was sobbing slightly, and said arrogantly.
The engagement between him and Yun Qianqian was more like a deal!
Yun Qianqian quietly got up and walked out from under the oil-paper umbrella. Cold rain fell on her body, but it could not compare to the coldness in her heart!
"Don't you want to take back Ardent Sun City? Have you forgotten how the people of the Yun Family died?"
Looking at Yun Qianqian's back as she walked into the rain, the corner of Eighth Prince's mouth revealed a cold smile as he shouted from behind.
Yun Qianqian's weak shoulder suddenly shook!
Through the endless rain, she saw a wide figure holding an umbrella at the end of the road rushing over here!
"Qin Ke!"
Yun Qianqian broke her tears into a smile. She even wanted to rush over!
However, Eighth Prince's words made it difficult for her to move an inch!
Eighth Prince also saw Qin Ke coming through the rain. Horrifying killing intent shot out from his eyes!
"Let's go!"
At this moment, Yun Qianqian suddenly turned around and walked under the oil-paper umbrella!
The coldness on Eighth Prince's face instantly disappeared!
Through the rain, Eighth Prince proudly looked at Qin Ke who was standing still in the rain!
Eighth Prince held the umbrella and surrounded Yun Qianqian, like a general who had returned victorious, as he walked away step by step.
Looking at the back of the figure that was walking further and further away, a trace of misery flashed across the corner of Qin Ke's mouth. He felt as if his entire body had been hollowed out!
It was as if the most important thing in his life was currently far away from him!
Pata!
The oil-paper umbrella fell onto the limestone floor and was blown away by the wind. It was like a gourd that had fallen to the ground, rolling further and further away!
When the rain hit his face, there was a bone-piercing pain!
An oil-paper umbrella also silently appeared above Qin Ke's head!
"She had no choice!"
Mei Niang quietly stood under the umbrella, her red lips slightly opening!
The blue sky was clear, and there was no cloud in ten thousand miles!
It was another sunny day!
Early in the morning, Qin Ke and the others left the mansion together and headed towards the exit of Ardent Sun City!
In less than an hour, they had arrived at the foot of Yanshan!
This was the largest mountain range outside of the Ardent Sun City, and even the Blood Demon Mountain was only a mountain peak in the Yanshan!
Within the Yanshan, there were numerous ferocious beasts, and even Seven-star Emperor ferocious beasts existed!
It wasn't an exaggeration to call every step dangerous!
Of course, within the Yanshan, it was also a great place for Heaven Warriors to hunt!
Scorching Sun King was the first to pull the Fire Horse Beast under him and jump down from it!
There were already five or six tents set up on an open field at the foot of the Yanshan!
Inside the tent, the delicacies and fine wine had long been prepared!
In the middle of these five or six tents, there was an empty space!
There had long been people who had settled down the fire horse beasts under everyone's legs and arranged their seats!
After everything stopped, Scorching Sun King walked to the center.
"Everyone, today's final competition will be held in Yanshan!"
As soon as Scorching Sun King's voice faded, Eighth Prince said, "Your Highness, are we going to let them compete here?"
"Of course it won't be so simple!"
Scorching Sun King smiled. Although his voice was not loud, it could be clearly heard by everyone. It had a terrifying dignity!
"I have a hundred Fire Orders here, and they are divided into four colors - red, yellow, black, and white!"
A palm-sized token appeared out of thin air in Scorching Sun King's hand!
Every single token was inscribed with the word 'Lie'!
"Your Highness, what are you doing?"
Eighth Prince laughed in a low voice and mocked, "Don't tell me you want the three of them to drink and play guessing games?"
"Drinking and playing rock-paper-scissors is fine too, but that will have to wait until the winner is decided!"
Scorching Sun King's voice already had some dissatisfaction!
Boom!
All of a sudden, blood rushed out from Scorching Sun King's body!
A huge amount of blood energy covered the hundred Fire Orders in front of him. It quickly flew up and followed Scorching Sun King's shout, Let's go!
These hundred Fire Orders were like raindrops, flying towards the depths of Yanshan!
It was only when they were a few miles away that these Fire Orders fell down!
Some of them even flew a few dozen miles into the depths before falling down!
"Old Qin, what are you doing?"
Zhennan King was also confused and asked impatiently.
"I have already thrown all these 100 Fire Orders into the Yanshan. Even I am not sure where they are right now!"
As soon as Scorching Sun King finished his words, everyone secretly nodded their heads!
Even a Seven-star Emperor Heavenly Warrior would not be able to remember the location of so many Fire Orders!
"These 100 Fire Orders, the red ones will be counted as 100 points. The yellow ones count as 50 points, the black ones count as 30 points, and the white ones count as 10 points! The three of you will enter the Yanshan and search for the Fire Order. In the end, you will obtain the Fire Order. Calculating the points! How much is the score? Victory or defeat! "
Scorching Sun King said righteously.
As soon as he said this, it immediately attracted a heated discussion!
"This is a good idea! A hundred Fire Orders are in the Yanshan, no one knows where they are! If you want to find them, you have to rely on your own ability! It's absolutely fair!"
"What was even better was that some Fire Order would fall into a vicious beast's lair. If he wanted to obtain it, he would have to kill the vicious beast! This is not a joke. It can definitely be used to test one's true strength!"
"It can't be faked. This method is indeed not bad!"
Scorching Sun King waited for the crowd to finish their discussion before he spoke again, "Since no one has any objections, let's use this method to test our strength!"
"Among the three of you, is there anyone who wants to withdraw? I will reiterate that the Fire Order is currently in Yanshan. No one knows where they are! It is not easy for you all to obtain the Fire Order! You might even encounter a powerful vicious beast! Now that you've thought it through, tell me your decision!"
Scorching Sun King looked at the three of them and said in a serious tone.
"What are you afraid of? I will participate!"
Luan Da patted his chest and said.
Lin Dong and Qin Ke didn't say anything. They both nodded their heads at the same time, expressing their determination.
"Alright, since everyone agrees, let's begin!"
Scorching Sun King looked up at the sky and signaled the family general beside him to light a thumb-sized sandalwood incense.
"With this sandalwood as the limit, you must come back before the sandalwood is finished burning! After an hour, no matter how many Fire Orders you obtain, you will lose!"
" Alright, since you have no objections, then go! "
As soon as Scorching Sun King's voice faded, Luan Da had already taken the lead and rushed towards Yanshan!
Lin Dong followed closely behind. His speed was like a bolt of lightning, turning into a ray of light and disappearing from everyone's line of sight!
Only Qin Ke was the last one to rush into the Yanshan. He was neither fast nor slow.
