Ancient Ancestral Emperor

3To a martial practitioner, these twenty-four hours were nothing more than a blink of an eye.     2

    

Under the expectant gazes of the crowd, the three ravines that had finally disappeared from the sky opened once again. Then, Ding Ye and the two others slowly appeared in front of them.    

    

The bodies of the three of them were all dyed red with blood. It was evident that this was not a simple slaughter within the ravine. Ding Ye and Ding Qi were both covered in blood, breathing rapidly, and even their auras were in complete disorder, while their bodies were filled with wounds of varying sizes. Clearly, they had suffered many injuries within the ravine.    

    

Only Qin Shaojie appeared to be a lot more relaxed, as if the second round of the examination did not have much of an impact on him.    

    

Crash! *    

    

After the three of them gave a slight bow to the Great Elder and the others, Ding Qi took out countless of heads from the storage ring in front of everyone.    

    

These heads looked very strange, like they were neither human nor magical beasts. This kind of appearance even frightened some of the Youduoshan's people. However, it was obvious that everyone understood that the heads that Ding Qi had taken out were probably the results of the second stage of the so called demonic slaughter.    

    

With a rough count, there were more than a hundred of them!    

    

Although all of them were dead, the aura they emitted could still vaguely feel the power of their past lives. Even the warriors with Youduoshan's Sky Origin Stage could feel a trace of an aura on the bloody heads that made them fear and respect them.    

    

Within twenty-four hours, he had killed more than a hundred people, and he had even escaped unscathed. Such a feat caused many people's eyes to light up. As expected of one of the most powerful disciples of the young generation of Ding Family.    

    

The First Elder and the others looked over and nodded. Clearly, they were quite satisfied with this battle result.    

    

Killing over a hundred of them was the most basic qualification line for the previous Patriarchs. At the very least, in terms of courage and strength, there was no room for doubt. After all, no one else knew, but how could he not understand that the appearance of these so-called demons was not a single one, but a perfect match. This increased the difficulty of the examinees. If one was careless and found an opening, it was extremely likely that one would fall within it. There was no lack of Sky Origin Stage in the hundreds, so it was obvious that it was possible for them to do something like this.    

    

Another elder on the holy mountain also hid these heads. It was obvious that they were preparing for the upcoming points.    

    

Seeing that, Ding Qi's eyes were filled with pride. If it were not for the fact that it had only been twenty-four hours, he believed that he would be able to kill even more. Although these fellows gave people a terrifying feeling, it was still enough to kill him under the restriction of absolute strength.    

    

Then, he seemed to be looking at Ding Ye and Qin Shaojie with a provocative gaze. In his view, the other party being able to survive was already the luckiest thing that could happen.    

    

Following Ding Qi's gaze, the people of Youduoshan also followed. Everyone was looking forward to see Ding Ye the most. After all, it was rumored that Ding Ye had the highest cultivation realm among all of them.    

    

It was only this much. Sensing everyone's gaze, Ding Ye looked at Ding Qi and roared, and then, like Ding Qi, he waved his hand, and the two hundred heads whizzed out. This number and size exceeded Ding Qi's by just the naked eye.    

    

Such a feat also stunned Ding Qi for a moment. It was clear that he did not expect Ding Ye to be able to reap such a large amount of harvest. It had to be said that the people inside were somewhat difficult to deal with!    

    

He had originally thought that his number of over a hundred would already be extremely high, but now it seemed that it was still a little weak.    

    

The crowd was even more shocked, if it was just the situation in front of them, then Ding Ye would be even more powerful, and the Saints on the Sacred Mountain would be keeping their heads down, as per usual, in order to keep an inventory. This sort of counting was nothing more than the difference in quantity and quality. It was a pity that nearly two hundred of them were Ding Qi's, so it was almost impossible for Ding Qi to make a comeback under such circumstances …    

    

Before, Ding Qi had already gathered information on Ding Ye from all around, but now, it seemed that Ding Ye was even stronger than he imagined, otherwise, he would not have been able to kill so many of them!    

    

Narrowing his eyes, Ding Qi could sense a dangerous aura pulsating in the depths of his eyes.    

    

In order to become the future Patriarch of the Ding Family, he had already paid a lot, so no matter what, he had to obtain the position of Patriarch of the Ding Family. No matter how strong Ding Ye was, he would fight to the death.    

    

Of course, if Ding Ye thought that he could sleep soundly in the second round just because he won, then the third round would also mean that he had suffered a great loss. Perhaps the others had gone all out just because of Ding Qi, but they did not know that he had conserved at least half of his strength.    

    

If he had no other choice, he would not have cared about other matters. Even if he had to take the risk, he could only force his way through.    

    

What about yours?    

    

After tidying up Ding Ye and his head, the Great Clan Elder looked at Qin Shaojie and asked. The Great Clan Elder's words had obviously garnered the attention of many people, causing everyone's eyes to flash, it was evident that Qin Shaojie's methods were very clear from the number of people he had killed this time, that he knew a thing or two.    

    

Even Ding Ye and Ding Qi had thrown their gazes over. It was just that the gazes of the two of them were filled with disdain.    

    

In the younger generation, there weren't many people who could catch the eyes of Ding Ye and Ding Qi, they were definitely powerful existences who had the qualifications and talent to become saints. In their eyes, this time, Qin Shaojie was merely sent here to accompany him.    

    

This time, the kid didn't have any gains.    

    

Clasping both of his fists, Qin Shaojie's voice was also filled with a hint of bitterness. He had actually killed a few False Demons s. Although not as many as Ding Ye, but definitely not less than him. However, not to mention their heads, even their flesh had been completely destroyed, which was why they had left empty-handed.    

    

Qin Shaojie's words made quite a few spectators in the Youduoshan sob. It was obvious that they despised this result. Those people who bet on Qin Shaojie winning felt a trickle of blood on their chest, and wished that they could spit it out right now. If they knew that Qin Shaojie was in such a condition, they would never have bought him. Wasn't this just wasting their own resources and wealth? After all, there were no resources in the Youduoshan for no reason.    

    

Of course, most of the people ridiculed him, because back then Ding Nuo said that his son was not bad, and now it seemed that he was exaggerating. As for Ding Ye and Ding Qi, they seemed to have seen through what was going on, but they did not say anything. Experts didn't need to feel sympathy for the weak.    

    

Seeing that Qin Shaojie's eyes were clear and did not lie, the Great Clan Elder was also surprised, but this time, the rule was that they could consider it as complete if they came back alive. Although he did not know why Qin Shaojie did not bring back some heads, the Great Clan Elder felt that this was Qin Shaojie's own problem.    

    

Of course, it would be fine if he could turn the tides in the third round. However, this did not seem to be the best strategy.    

    

However, what the others did not notice was that the deepest corner of the First Elder's eyes still contained traces of doubt. He clearly understood the situation within. After all these years, he had never seen anyone return empty-handed.    

    

Moreover, Qin Shaojie's breath was smooth and his face was red, he did not look like he was being chased or had gone through a huge battle. Most people only thought that Qin Shaojie might have found a place to hide, but he understood that this possibility did not exist within the small world.    

    

But from the looks of it, Qin Shaojie did not have any plans to say it out loud, so he could only give up.    

    

However, after this brat obtained this item, he didn't know if it would count. Right at this moment, a pearl shrouded in black fog appeared in Qin Shaojie's palm.    

    

The instant the pearl appeared, a rich surge of evil qi shot out, and the surrounding space was instantly corroded by this aura.    

    

Seeing that, the Great Clan Elder clenched his hand into a fist, and the black bead flew out from Qin Shaojie's hand and landed on the Great Clan Elder's palm.    

    

At this moment, the black pillar seemed to have been immobilized and even the black mist had frozen on the spot.    

    

However, what truly surprised everyone was that not only did the grand elder, but even the elders of the other Sacred Halls, quickly gathered around the black pearl. As everyone looked at the black pearl, their faces started to tremble and even their emotions changed slightly.    

    

Everyone was caught off guard.    

    

What kind of powerful existences were the Saints on the holy mountain? There weren't many in the world that could cause their emotions to fluctuate, so what was this black pearl before their eyes? Even Ding Ye and Ding Qi had looked at each other. They could see a clear sense of unease in each other's eyes.    

    

How did you get hold of it?    

    

Finally, the Great Clan Elder looked at Qin Shaojie and asked seriously, while the other clan elders looked at Qin Shaojie anxiously, as though the black pearl was extremely important to them.    

    

What the brat had obtained from inside it, he handed it over.    

    

Several people's reactions also caused Qin Shaojie's pupils to slightly contract. This black pearl, in the words of demoness, was a devil's pearl. As for what exactly the devil orb was, demoness did not mention it. He only told Qin Shaojie that once he brought the devil orb out, he would be able to obtain first place in the second stage. Of course, this was on the premise that Qin Shaojie did not have to kill the demon dwellers from other False Demons.    

    

Although Qin Shaojie did not know what the devil orb was, he still agreed to demoness's request.    

    

After all, as long as he survived the second stage, he would still have a chance. As for the points, Qin Shaojie was not the most concerned about.    

    

Of course, under other circumstances, Qin Shaojie would not easily believe the words of the demoness, but this time, he was willing to believe him. After all, he was rather curious about the matters of the Demon race. This concerned the Great Demon King, and also involved the demoness who had disappeared before, so Qin Shaojie had no choice but to pay attention.    

    

Qin Shaojie's words were extremely short, and gave the Great Clan Elder and the rest quite a bit of information.    

    

The others might not be clear about what was inside, but the First Elder and the few Elders with deep experience were clearly aware of what was inside. How precious was that bead? Even if all the future family heads personally went in, it would be extremely difficult to get them. Over the past hundred of thousands of years, all of the previous Patriarchs of the Ding Family had experienced many things as well, but only three of them were able to bring out their devil orbs. And Qin Shaojie was ranked fourth!    

    

The fact that he could bring out the devil pearl showed the most direct problem, and that was that Qin Shaojie had obtained their acknowledgement!    

    

When they thought of this possibility, the First Elder and the Elders with rather deep qualifications looked at each other and saw a shock.    

    

The examination this time around had not truly ended and the position of the future Patriarch had not been completely confirmed. Therefore, everyone should be aware of this situation. But she still chose Qin Shaojie? They could not figure it out.    

    

If Qin Shaojie had not become the Patriarch of the Ding Family, then how could he handle this matter?    

    

Or did they have 100% confidence that Qin Shaojie could definitely become the future Patriarch of the Ding Family?    

    

It seemed that things had changed a bit.
