65: I reported
“Go, Zhang Hai, slap her twice, so she learns her lesson for the future!”
Li Haotian gave the order, and Zhang Hai excitedly rushed forward. He had long wanted a legitimate reason to strike this bitch, and now with Revered Master's command, he wouldn't be seen as beating up his own cousin.
Zhang Hai immediately slapped her across the face, sending her flying out again. The power of his slap was immense, knocking her unconscious once more.
[Detected Zhang Hai has defeated Zhang Lanlan]
[Reward: Invincible Heart, Child of Fortune's Luck enters the second stage]
Li Haotian nodded contentedly. Fortunately, Zhang Lanlan wasn't killed by that Great Filial Son's slap, or he wouldn't have received the reward for this mission.
Everyone walked away contentedly. They would have no pressure for the foreseeable future.
With such achievements, certainly no one could compare. After all, they had stolen everything an entire race had collected during this period.
Three days passed in a flash. Everyone's Token emitted a faint glow—this was the Yizhang Dynasty's method of summoning them back.
Everyone crushed their Tokens one after another, and a beam of teleportation light instantly enveloped them, sending them outside.
The square itself was originally empty, but after bursts of light flashed, it was now filled with Cultivators.
There were also spectators gathered around, watching the drama unfold.
“Young Miss! You finally came out! Did you get anything good?”
“Young Master, Old Master said if you achieve a good result, he will allow you to marry ten wives!”
“Senior Brother, you're out! You said if you achieved a good result, you would ride a White-headed Steed, wear a big red flower, and marry me. Can you fulfill that promise now?”
The spectators were even more excited than the Participants themselves.
Many of them came from various powers.
Those who could participate in this Secret Realm were influential Zhang Clan Powerhouses. The number of family members and servants they brought was considerable.
Furthermore, family elders personally led their groups, waiting anxiously here.
Once they achieved good results, they could soar high and become a Phoenix. Even the smallest official position, that of County Baron, was a decent noble title.
This was equivalent to becoming a Civil Servant of the Yizhang Dynasty and having the entire family ascend to heaven—this was a power governed by a Great Emperor! Everyone was extremely interested in this.
Li Haotian and the others also appeared on the square. It was clear that some Participants were joyful, while others were worried.
There must be some among them with good results, but they absolutely couldn't surpass theirs.
Zhang Lanlan and Luo Hong were also in the group. However, one walked with a strange posture, desperately clutching his buttocks, while the other had bright red cheeks, her face swollen like a pig's head.
Li Haotian and the others couldn't help but burst into laughter upon seeing this scene.
Soon, it was time for the results verification segment.
There were a total of 50 tables, and one person at each table was responsible for registration. The crystal cores obtained by the team were tallied there. After handing over half, the remaining half could be taken away, and they would wait nearby for the final results.
“Northern Zhang Family Cloth Shop: obtained 458 first-tier crystal cores, 164 second-tier crystal cores, and 27 third-tier crystal cores!”
“Southwestern Zhang Family Tavern: obtained 1,726 first-tier crystal cores, 1,073 second-tier crystal cores, third-tier...”
Score after score was announced, and everyone applauded when they heard their own faction's results.
Those with poor results were dejected and helpless.
After one verification after another concluded, Zhang Lanlan and Luo Hong struggled to squeeze to the very front.
“Uh, Jinyun City Zhang Family... eleven first-tier crystal cores, one second-tier crystal core...”
Their score completely dumbfounded the Verification Staff responsible for registration at the front.
This score was probably the worst among all Participants.
Zhang Linfeng and his wife had accompanied Zhang Lanlan here. Hearing this result, they stared in disbelief at their daughter, whose cheeks were swollen like a pig's head, and Luo Hong.
No matter how weak they were, they absolutely shouldn't have achieved such a terrible score!
At this moment, Luo Hong only felt a burning pain in his face. As a Young Master of the Luo Family, participating in this Secret Realm and achieving such a poor result was utterly humiliating.
If he hadn't been tortured for so long and only woken up on the last day, his results definitely wouldn't have been this bad.
Although he was injured, he still retained some fighting capability.
Li Haotian and the others were positioned at the end of the line. After everyone else had registered their scores, the group exchanged glances and took off the Wristbands on their wrists.
Out of five Wristbands in total, four and a half had been emptied, leaving only the last half Wristband remaining.
Because they knew that the crystal cores contained within this half Wristband were enough to crush the entire field and secure first place.
Currently, the best first-place score was around 100,000 first-tier crystal cores. If no accidents occurred, they must have also encountered Purple Beast Clan powerhouses, defeated them, and stolen everything they had to achieve such an outstanding result.
Seeing that only the last team remained, everyone was waiting for the result.
When Zhang Lanlan saw this group, anger immediately flashed in her eyes.
“I report them! They cheated!”
Zhang Lanlan's furious voice echoed throughout the square, and everyone turned their attention to the girl whose face was swollen like a pig.
“They found External Help, and that helper is a Saint—no, a powerhouse above the Saint level! This is unfair!”
As soon as she said this, everyone looked at Zhang Lanlan as if she were an idiot.
“What nonsense? Why are you so sour? If they have the ability to hire such a powerhouse, then you go hire one! Why are you whining here?”
“Exactly! In order to secure a good position for our Young Master, our Old Master even let a Heavenly Monarch powerhouse under his command enter! If you have the ability, let someone in. Why are you complaining here?”
“Isn't the man standing next to this stupid woman the Young Master of the Luo Family? Why does he look so familiar? I remember their lineup was quite luxurious when they entered, with three Saints accompanying them. Where did those three Saints go?”
“I'm dying of laughter. Her face is swollen like that, and she still wants to accuse others of cheating, but their actions are perfectly legal and compliant.”
Waves of ridicule came from the surroundings. Luo Hong's face was covered in frost. He fiercely fought back the pain of his impending Anal Fissure and slapped Zhang Lanlan hard across the face.
“Shut the hell up!”
Zhang Linfeng stood by, watching his daughter being beaten, yet dared not step forward to stop it. This was the Young Master of the Luo Family. If he angered him, the entire Zhang Family would suffer misfortune.
They were now clearly the focus of the entire venue, like a joke. Zhang Linfeng suddenly saw that figure on the stage, immediately smiled, and loudly declared:
“I report them! Someone is participating in this Yizhang Dynasty event under the name of our Jinyun City Zhang Family!”
