Although the plan failed, Nangong Qingyue was not worried about Huangquan and the others discovering anything. Even if they did, the people behind her could handle it.
The most important thing now was to make Huangquan disappear.
She looked very similar to that woman. She could see it, and so could the other members of the Nangong family. They had already taken action in recent days. They just couldn’t find any concrete clues at the moment, so they hadn’t confronted her yet. Once the Nangong family found concrete evidence, her identity would be exposed, and her plans would be ruined.
So, she had to find another opportunity to take action.
However, this failure would make her more cautious, and she might have already informed Di Qin. If Di Qin intervened, it would be difficult to kill her.
Nangong Qingyue looked at the competition stage ahead, and suddenly came up with an idea.
It might be difficult to kill Huangquan outside, but it wouldn’t be difficult during the competition. She could kill her on the competition stage! However, this was not an easy task.
To kill Huangquan, she had to compete with her. But the numbers drawn for the matches changed every day, and the selection of opponents was random. The supervisor responsible for selecting the matches was a teacher from the academy, and there was no possibility of manipulation. If she wanted to kill Huangquan on the competition stage, she could only wait.
If she was lucky, she might encounter her at the last moment.
If luck wasn’t on her side, she would have to find another opportunity.
*Students entered one by one, and the audience also arrived.
Compared to the previous days, there were more spectators today.
As the competition progressed, those who had hidden their strength would no longer hide it, and those with a winning weapon would no longer keep it hidden. Therefore, as the competition progressed, it became more exciting, and more people came to watch.
Di Qin and the High Priest sat down shortly before the competition officially began.
Before drawing the numbers, the supervising teacher announced the number representing the student who would advance by default.
The student who drew that number was from a small country, and he could directly advance to the next round.
That student was overjoyed, and the other students envied him. But if they hadn’t drawn the lucky number, envy was useless. They could only compete honestly.
After the supervising teacher announced the vacant number, the screen began to flicker, indicating the drawing of match numbers.
Soon, two numbers appeared on the screen.
The supervising teacher glanced at them and loudly announced, “Number one versus number eleven.”
In the arena, two people stood up.
One was a student from the Xuanling Empire, and the other was Feng Jiuyuan.
Before the student from the Xuanling Empire stepped onto the competition stage, the teacher cautioned, “Feng Jiuyuan may have a wicked temperament, but if you don’t provoke him or speak out of turn, he won’t trouble people for no reason. So, once you’re on the stage, don’t think about anything else, just focus on the match.”
“If you’re truly not a match for him, concede defeat. Don’t force it.”
The student nodded. “Teacher, I understand.”
“Go ahead.”
“Okay.” With a response, the student ascended the competition stage.
As the teacher had said, Feng Jiuyuan might have a wicked temperament, but as long as you didn’t provoke him, he generally wouldn’t intentionally cause trouble.
With a significant difference in strength between them, the student from the Xuanling Empire conceded defeat after being unable to persist any longer. Feng Jiuyuan didn’t trouble him further. After the student from the Xuanling Empire conceded, Feng Jiuyuan stopped.
The supervising teacher announced the winner and then asked both to leave the stage.
The student from the Xuanling Empire endured the pain from his injuries as he descended from the competition stage and made his way back to his position.
