It wasn't an overstatement to say that Zhaoming's actions were no different from coming to the island owner's Palace to steal the island's heirloom. If word got out, it'd be a public outrage-it was no wonder ning Shangling was furious!
"This kid is really detestable!" When Liu Ziyu heard this, she was also filled with righteous indignation. As ning Shangling's old friend, she was well aware of the significance of the Thunder mystical vine to the West Island. She could not help but ask,"But how did this Kang Zhaoming find the Thunder mystical vine? he wouldn't have leaked such an important map, would he?"
"I also think it's strange. We have to investigate this matter thoroughly." Ning Shangling frowned.
It was true that the existence of the Thunder mystical vine in the West Island trial was not a secret. In fact, many cultivators had come for the Thunder mystical vine. However, the exact location of the Thunder mystical vine was a secret among secrets on the West Island.
Even among the inner disciples of the West Island, only a very small number of disciples who were valued by ning Shangling would get a hint. The others had no way of knowing it. Even with Liu Ziyu's deep relationship with ning Shangling, it was only revealed to her because Liu Ziyu had made great contributions to the West Island in the past. It had never been revealed to others before.
No matter if it was Liu Ziyu or the disciples that ning Shangling valued, they were all reliable people. There was no reason for them to leak such an important secret, so how did Kang Zhaoming know?
"Could it be that this fellow injured die 'er and forced her to tell him the truth?" Liu Ziyu was shocked.
Ning Shangling nodded thoughtfully. The participants of the West Island trial were mainly outsiders. There were not many local disciples on the West Island. In order to prevent the secret of the Thunder mystical vine from being leaked, ning Shangling did not give them any hints this time. This meant that only Huo yudie knew the location of the Thunder mystical vine.
According to this deduction, this Kang Zhaoming could very likely be the clue he got from Huo yudie, and this could be linked to Lin Yi's injury. Lin Yi might have been injured by Kang Zhaoming because he wanted to save Huo yudie, and it was because of this that Huo yudie was willing to risk her life and reputation to stay with him!
In just a short moment, ning Shangling and Liu Ziyu had spontaneously formed a complete sequence of events in their minds. The more they thought about it, the more they felt that it made sense, and they were almost certain that it was the truth.
"This Kang Zhaoming deserves to die!" Liu Ziyu said angrily through gritted teeth.
Ning Shangling's face was ugly as she nodded her head. She was far more furious than Liu Ziyu, but as the Lord of the West Island, she couldn't do anything about it. After all, everything in the trial was up to fate, and killing and stealing was a common thing. There was no rule that said they couldn't touch the Thunder mystical vine. Even if she wanted to punish Kang Zhaoming, what reason did she have to take revenge?
Kang Zhaoming's actions were shameless, but if ning Shangling were to blame him for it, the entire western part of the island would become a laughing stock. This was a matter of the island's reputation, and she could only swallow her anger.
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed, and there was still no news from Lin Yi and Huo yudie. In fact, everyone knew that the two of them were trapped inside and couldn't come out. The maximum time a peak nascent soul cultivator could stay inside was a month, and it had been a full month and a half. Just based on the fact that those above the nascent Soul Stage couldn't activate the teleportation formation, even a God wouldn't be able to come out.
The West Island trial was in an uproar, and it couldn't be dragged on forever. In the end, there had to be a final conclusion, or it would be equivalent to breaking one's promise.
Although ning Xuefei had begged ning Shangling a few times these days to delay it until Lin Yi came back, she, han Jingjing, and Shangguan LAN 'er all believed that as long as Lin Yi recovered, he would be able to get out!
However, this wasn't something that ning Shangling could decide alone. After all, this was a huge matter for the entire West Island, and all the sects and schools of the other Sky Class islands were paying attention to it. No matter how much she doted on her daughter, she couldn't joke around with the reputation of the entire West Island. Dragging it out for half a month was the limit, and it couldn't be dragged on any longer.
Ning Xuefei, who had just recovered from Lin Yi's injury, wanted to cry but no tears came out. She knew who the winner was, and she hated this person. She would rather die than entrust her life to this person, but there was nothing she could do. After all, this represented the reputation and reputation of the entire West Island. It wasn't something she could just say no.
After half a month, the island Lord's Palace was finally open to the public again. All participants of the West Island trial were invited to the side courtyard of the palace, which was located in the courtyard of the teleportation array. Today, the final winner of the trial would be judged.
The reason why they didn't choose the more Grand and formal square outside was mainly to take care of the cultivators. It should be known that these treasures would be taken away after the evaluation. As the saying goes, wealth should not be exposed. If it was placed in a public place, it was difficult to guarantee that it would not cause trouble later on. Now, it was placed in a relatively hidden inner courtyard of the island master's Palace. Although it couldn't completely prevent such things from happening, it was better.
The side courtyard was heavily guarded and packed with people. Not only were the cultivators gathered here, but there were also branch managers of the Hong Chamber of Commerce, central Chamber of Commerce, wealthy families, and other top Chamber of Commerce. As the most authoritative industry insiders, they were important judges specially invited by the West Island.
After a short opening speech, the crowd quickly entered the long-awaited main topic. A group of West Island disciples took out the registration booklet and let the participants compare it one by one in front of the public. The judges would then evaluate the value of the items on the spot, and only the person with the highest value would have the last laugh.
This was undoubtedly a treasure inspection meeting. Every time someone took out a rare treasure of heaven and earth, there would be a burst of whispers in the side courtyard. Many people knew that they couldn't compete with the other cultivators, but this time, they were able to see so many different kinds of treasures of heaven and earth. It was also an eye-opener, and they didn't come in vain.
Of course, there were also some who were very ambitious, thinking that they had the chance to become ning Shangling's son-in-law with the rare treasures in their hands. However, when it was Kang Zhaoming's turn, everything came to an end.
Thunder mystical vine! It was actually the legendary Thunder mystical vine!
For a moment, the entire place was silent. After a while, there was a burst of cold air. There was basically no Yuanying stage cultivator who didn't know about the Thunder mystical vine. Even if they hadn't seen it before, they must have heard of it. After all, the characteristics of the lightning were too obvious, it was unique in the world.
