Lin Hao was not far behind Ye Xiao.
Previously when he had met Lin Hao in the Heaven Sword Sect, he was already at the First Stage of the Martial King Realm, and now after two months, he had once again made a small breakthrough in his cultivation.
Now, he was already at the Second Stage of the Martial King Realm.
This was also an astonishing cultivation speed.
Ye Xiao did not say anything but at this moment, he also felt bad.
Suddenly, under the gaze of this group of people, Ye Xiao felt two killing intent locking onto him. He looked in the direction from where the killing intent came from and saw that the killing intent was actually coming from the Grand Xia Empire's main candidate group.
He looked at everyone and found some familiar faces.
Hao Yue, Yun Xianer, Zhao Qing’er, and Zhao Yufei!
Ye Xiao was not surprised to see Hao Yue, Yun Xianer, and Zhao Qing’er but he was surprised to see Zhao Yufei among them.
Since Zhao Yufei could participate as a member of the Grand Xia Empire, it meant that Zhao Yufei was someone from the Grand Xia Empire, to begin with.
Perhaps, for some special reason, he went to the Azure Dragon Country and became a disciple of the Heaven Sword Sect.
What surprised him even more was his cultivation. He was actually already at the Eighth Stage of the Martial King Realm. Only half a step away from reaching the Ninth Stage of the Martial King Realm and one step away from becoming a Martial Emperor.
How old?
He was even a year younger than Ye Xiao. But his cultivation was still more than him. He's stronger than he is.
The killing intent he felt actually came from Hao Yue and Yun Xianer.
There were also some people who did not know him, but they also revealed a hint of hostility towards him. Most of these people had deep relationships with Hao Yue and Yun Xianer.
Perhaps, the two of them already had people about Ye Xiao offending them and therefore, those people showed hostility towards him.
Grandmaster Wang once again looked at the candidates and warned them with a serious face, “Once you enter the secret world, don't easily trust anyone, no matter what, especially the so-called ‘kawan’ that smiles to your face while hiding a knife. You have to be careful.”
“The enemies you can see coming to you are harmless. The real danger is the one you don't see coming.”
Ye Xiao, Lin Hao, and the others nodded their heads.
They also deeply understood what Grandmaster Wang was trying to convey to them.
Suddenly at this moment, a terrifying aura fell from somewhere and instantly enveloped everyone present in the large hall.
Not long after, a middle-aged man with the attitude of a king entered the large hall with several officials following behind him.
“Emperor is here!”
“We have seen emperor!”
“We have seen emperor!”
Immediately, everyone started greeting the emperor of the Grand Xia Empire. The candidates from the Azure Dragon Country were no exception.
But there are still some exceptions. These exceptions were Ye Xiao, his master Grandmaster Wang, Tong Nian and his grandfather, and Lin Hao.
These five people did not greet the emperor but currently, no one was paying attention to them.
There were already too many people present and all of them suddenly started greeting the emperor, causing a commotion in the large hall.
Who would pay attention to this group of third-class country people?
“Everything, no need to be too polite. We're not gonna waste our time here. Let's go to the location where the secret world will be opened!” The Great Xia Empire's Emperor said in an unassuming or arrogant tone.
He led everyone to the big teleportation circle and said, “We will enter the teleportation circle brought here to ease our journey and not waste much time.”
“Now, my Great Xia Kingdom candidate will enter first and then the first ranked country candidate then the second ranked country candidate and so on. This will also be the order in which all of you will enter the secret world. Now let's go!”
When he finished what he said, the candidates from the Great Xia Kingdom entered the teleportation circle and with the activation of the teleportation circle, they disappeared without a trace.
After the Great Xia Empire, first-rate countries also began to enter teleportation circles followed by second-ranked countries.
As it was the Golden Fragrance Kingdom's turn to enter the teleportation circle, while the others entered the teleportation circle, one of the old man's gazes fell on Ye Xiao.
“Ye Xiao! So you are from a third-class country!”
This person was the Wang Family's First Elder in Southwood City. As he looked at Ye Xiao, he was startled at first then his gaze suddenly turned cold.
He had never thought that the person whom the three great families of Southwood City considered to be the descendant of the great family of the Great Imperial City of Xia Kingdom was actually just a brat from a third-rate country.
Then another question came to his mind.
If Ye Xiao was from a third-rate country then where exactly did he get so many spirit stones to her.
When he thought about this, two possibilities appeared in his mind.
The first was that Ye Xiao obtained a spatial ring from a mighty cultivator who had died and the second possibility was that Ye Xiao had found the Spirit Stone mine.
Whatever the situation was, his gaze immediately flushed red with greed but he was currently in control and calming down.
He did not say much and entered the teleportation circle.
Ye Xiao was also surprised to see the change in expression of the First Elder of the Wang Family. He said to himself in his heart that he should be careful of this person for a while.
