346: Chapter 346 The biggest accident in the history of the Inheritance Tournament!

On the main channel.

At this time, the Wushan Seat Public were still unaware of the changes happening inside the secret realm.

Many of the Public even thought the purple sky was just an assessment project arranged by the Cosmic Cloud Company, and they continued to monitor the official account for updates.

But soon.

As the scene on the screen shifted, the sound in the main channel immediately surged like a tide.

"What are those?"

"Are these men in black a new Easter egg?"

"This isn't right. The strength of these dark figures is too far beyond the limit. They absolutely should not have been allowed into the Inheritance Competition!"

"Definitely not an Easter egg! Look, a Contestant has perished!"

"Heavens! What in the world is happening?"

"Bad, more and more Contestants are falling!"

...

In the picture.

Streams of dark figures erupted from a corner of the Ancient Battlefield like a gushing spring, rapidly sweeping across most of the continent.

The moment these dark figures reached various corners of the battlefield, they immediately began hunting the Contestants.

The huge gap in strength made the Contestants seem like fish on a cutting board, almost completely defenseless.

This scene, when viewed by the Wushan Seat Public, was undoubtedly incredibly difficult to believe, leaving them dumbfounded.

At this moment, they finally realized the anomaly on the battlefield.

Someone had deliberately sabotaged the Inheritance Competition!

However, another thought immediately surfaced in their minds: what kind of force would dare to sabotage the Inheritance Competition organized by the Cosmic Cloud Company?

The Cosmic Cloud Company was such a behemoth that, across the entire Great Universe, only a handful of entities could contend with it.

And those few forces were generally on good terms with the Cosmic Cloud Company, even having close cooperation in many aspects, so it absolutely couldn't be them.

Moreover, the main point was that an Inheritance Competition in a mere remote Seat Domain didn't seem worth those forces taking such a huge risk to cause trouble.

Because there was absolutely no benefit to be gained.

Just as the Wushan Seat Public were discussing heatedly, causing chaos...

The screen on the main channel suddenly went blank.

That's right.

The footage concerning the Ancient Battlefield had been completely cut off.

This undoubtedly sent the entire Wushan Seat Forum into an uproar.

Because this was likely the biggest unexpected incident in the history of the Inheritance Competition.

"The picture is gone!"

"What's the situation? Which force dares to provoke the Cosmic Cloud Company?"

"I feel like this is not simple. This is the first time I've seen the Inheritance footage cut off directly!"

"I feel like those Contestants are in deep trouble. Those dark figures were way too strong; they are completely beyond what the Contestants can resist."

"Indeed. I hope these Contestants can survive a little longer. There are quite a few good seedlings in this batch!"

"Putting others aside, if either Li Fan or Jiang Yunxu were to perish, it would be a loss for the entire Wushan Seat!"

...

On the other side.

At this moment, far away in the starry sky outside the Ancient Battlefield continent...

Jiang Ling had already brought Sang Gan and the others to this location.

Or rather,

The periphery of this Ancient Battlefield continent was already completely surrounded by people from the Cosmic Cloud Company's Wushan Seat Branch.

However, judging by their expressions, one could roughly guess the outcome.

Even though they had surrounded the area, they still couldn't enter to rescue the Contestants.

"I have already notified Headquarters. The closest King-level Immortal to the Wushan Seat won't arrive for another three days."

Jiang Ling looked at Ai Xin beside him, his expression not looking good.

"Three days?"

"After three days, not a single Contestant will be alive!"

Ai Xin couldn't help but become furious upon hearing this news.

But she quickly calmed down.

"As an Inspector, failing to screen the safety issues for the Inheritance Competition is my fault. After this matter is resolved, I will go to Headquarters to voluntarily accept punishment."

Ai Xin took a deep breath, and her expression returned to coldness.

Ai Xin's words undoubtedly caused Sang Gan and the other high-ranking officials to immediately kneel in salute.

"Lord Ai Xin, this is not your fault. It is mainly our fault for not screening properly!"

"Indeed, the fault lies with us!"

...

Sang Gan and the others voluntarily took responsibility, their faces full of self-reproach.

Strictly speaking, the Wushan Seat Inheritance Competition was primarily led by them.

"Enough. This fourth stage was an assessment project I applied for with Headquarters. It's not your concern. Everyone, stand up."

Ai Xin slowly shook her head.

When these words were spoken, the expressions of Sang Gan and the others slightly shifted, and they could only sigh in the end.

The Inheritance Competition had four stages in total. The headquarters allowed each branch to design the first three stages themselves; only the final stage required an application to Headquarters.

And the application for this fourth stage of the Inheritance Competition was chosen by Ai Xin; they indeed did not participate.

So, if someone truly had to be held accountable, it would most likely be Ai Xin.

"Ai Xin, this isn't entirely your fault either. If anyone is to blame, blame those who modified this Ancient Continent!"

"How could they not notice such a huge dimensional rift hidden deep within the continent?!"

At this moment, Jiang Ling's voice rang out, his face full of displeasure.

The cause of the changes on the battlefield had already been investigated.

The main reason was a miniature dimensional rift hidden deep within the continent.

However, to discover such a dimensional rift, one would need to be at least a Marquis-level Immortal, and specifically a Marquis Immortal who was extremely proficient in the Space Law.

And such an existence would hardly bother to focus their attention on an Ancient Continent that seemed to hold no value.

So, if one truly wanted to pursue responsibility, it would be very difficult to clarify.

"I hope they can hold on for three days."

"If they can't hold on, then they simply didn't have the fate for it."

Jiang Ling also calmed down at this point, shrugging his shoulders as he spoke slowly.

Currently, only a King-level Immortal proficient in the Space Law could break through the barrier surrounding the continent, seal the dimensional rift, and rescue all the Contestants.

Both he and Ai Xin were Immortal Level beings, but unfortunately, they hadn't reached the King Level, nor were they particularly proficient in the Space Law.

As for Sang Gan and the others, although they were also Immortals, they were not as strong as Jiang Ling and Ai Xin and couldn't offer much help.

As for whether the Wushan Seat had other King-level Immortals skilled in Space, there were indeed some, but they did not belong to the Cosmic Cloud Company and were generally in seclusion. Contacting them would be very difficult.

Even if they could be contacted, persuading them to come would still take time.

Contacting them and offering the necessary conditions for them to act—the entire process would certainly take far longer than three days.

Therefore,

They could do nothing now but wait for three days for the rescue from Headquarters.

And during these three days,

The Contestants on the continent could only rely on themselves and leave their fate to heaven.
