After being jilted by the saintess at the beginning, why is she crying?

fifty thousand!

Adding the points he accumulated from killing the wolf pack, his total score has now reached—

Fifty-eight thousand points!

A satisfied smile appeared on Lin Fengmian's lips.

With 58,000 points, he's more than qualified to top the list.

……

Almost at the same moment the wolf king died.

"Buzz—!"

Above the central square, the Nanli Myriad Demon Ranking emitted an unprecedented roar, bursting with golden light that caused many cultivators to instinctively close their eyes!

As everyone looked up in bewilderment, a name shot up from outside the top 100 like a rocket, unstoppable and crushing everything in its path!

Sixty.

Forty people.

Twenty people.

Ten.

Five.

-

First place!

Lin Fengmian! 58,000 points!

The glittering number, exceeding the second-place Jian Wuhen by 30,000 points by nearly double, was like a silent slap in the face to all those who had previously questioned it.

This dramatic scene plunged the entire square into a deathly silence.

Feng Meizi of the Heavenly Demon Sect gaped, her finger trembling as she pointed at the list, unable to utter a word for a long time. Her expression was incredibly complex—first disbelief, then horror, and finally, a deathly pale look.

The other elders were even more ashen-faced, some even rubbing their eyes, wondering if they were seeing things.

"How...how is this possible?"

"From outside the top ranks to number one in an instant? That's cheating, isn't it?"

"Over 50,000 points! This kid's really something!"

After a brief silence, the square erupted in a deafening chorus of voices—exclamations, doubts, praise, and even envy.

Only the two elders of the Hehuan Sect were so excited that their faces turned red, and they slammed their fists on the table and stood up.

"Good! Good! Good!"

An elder exclaimed "Good!" three times, his beard trembling with excitement and his eyes slightly reddening.

The Red Lotus Immortal's beautiful eyes shone brightly, and her tightly clenched jade hands finally slowly loosened, revealing clear red marks left by her fingernails on her palms, but she was completely unaware of it.

The corners of her lips unconsciously curved upwards into a beautiful arc.

This little rascal, whom she both loved and hated, created another miracle.

……

On the viewing platform in the central square.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the figure in green robes reflected in the Xuanjian Mirror.

Even the Emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty and the Prince of Zhennan, two powerful figures who were used to seeing geniuses, showed a look of great interest in their eyes.

Beside the emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty, a stunningly beautiful woman dressed in palace attire stood quietly.

Her hair was as black as a waterfall, her features were exquisite, and she exuded a cool and otherworldly aura, like a celestial being descended to earth, untouched by worldly concerns.

Her phoenix-patterned palace dress was well-tailored, perfectly outlining her exquisite figure without being ostentatious. Instead, it made her appear even more dignified and noble.

This woman is none other than the current Crown Princess, Yan Qingluan.

At this moment, her beautiful eyes were fixed on Lin Fengmian's reflection in the mirror, a barely perceptible ripple passing through them.

This nominal crown princess is still a virgin.

Because the Crown Prince was born weak and had an eccentric personality, making him unsuitable for important responsibilities, she had been in charge of royal affairs for many years.

The emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty both admired and felt somewhat guilty towards his daughter-in-law. He not only tacitly allowed her to wield power in the royal family, but also treated her with extraordinary courtesy on many occasions.

At this moment, Yan Qingluan parted her red lips slightly and murmured to herself. Her voice was very soft, but it made the Emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty beside her move his gaze slightly.

"Pure Yang Holy Body, mutated lightning spiritual root...that's quite rare."

This was the first time this arrogant daughter-in-law had shown interest in a young man.

The Prince of Zhennan took everything in view and muttered to himself.

Even this person looks at Lin Fengmian with special regard; this young man is indeed extraordinary.

It seems that winning over the Joyful Union Sect this time was the right thing to do!

……

Night falls in the secret realm.

There were no stars in the sky, only a layer of hazy mist that enveloped the entire small world.

Lin Fengmian found a sheltered spot under a cliff and lit a bonfire.

The firelight illuminated his angular face, revealing a sense of ease and contentment.

He placed the hind legs of the wolf king he had hunted during the day over the fire and slowly roasted them.

The sizzling sound of dripping oil filled the air, and the aroma of meat wafted in the night breeze.

As a body cultivator, Lin Fengmian found the flesh and blood of these demonic beasts to be the best nourishment. The essence contained in the flesh and blood of peak second-tier demonic beasts was more effective than any elixir.

He tore off a piece of golden-brown roasted wolf meat, stuffed it into his mouth, and squinted his eyes in satisfaction.

tasty.

While he was enjoying his meal, he also released his divine sense, which covered an area of ​​several miles.

Caution is the boat.

In this secret realm, one must guard against not only monsters, but also people.

Lin Fengmian scanned his surroundings with his divine sense, and raised an eyebrow slightly.

The number of monsters in this area has decreased significantly, probably because they were scared away by the wolf king.

Tomorrow, we'll have to go somewhere else.

As he was planning his next move, suddenly, a presence entered the range of his divine sense.

That aura was not weak; it was at the late stage of Foundation Establishment and was rapidly approaching this direction.

Lin Fengmian raised an eyebrow slightly, but didn't pay much attention to it.

He continued eating his grilled meat.

After a while, a rustling sound came from the woods behind them, and a figure emerged from the darkness with a fake smile on his face.

"What a coincidence, Junior Brother Lin! I never expected to run into you here!"

The visitor was none other than Chen Qingxuan.

He wore a brocade robe, with a jade pendant hanging from his waist, and had a cheerful expression, indicating that he was in a good mood.

He was very lucky. Along the way, by bullying weaker monsters, he accumulated 10,000 points.

Seeing Lin Fengmian all alone, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

The other party was all alone, and it's unclear how many points they had.

Chen Qingxuan knew that Lin Fengmian was no ordinary person and likely possessed a considerable number of points. If he could kill him here, not only would he be able to settle their past grievances, but his own ranking would also undoubtedly rise significantly!

At that time, perhaps Junior Sister Xiao Xiyue will change her mind and fall in love with me again...

He was unaware that outside the secret realm, there existed a treasure called the Mysterious Mirror, which allowed one to see what was happening inside the secret realm.

All he knew was that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Lin Fengmian had noticed the other party long ago, but out of consideration for their shared sect, he didn't pay much attention to him.

But to my surprise, they actually came to me of their own accord.

Chen Qingxuan took a few steps toward Lin Fengmian with ill intent, a smile plastered on his face and a warm tone:

"Junior Brother Lin, this secret realm is extremely dangerous. In my opinion, why don't we team up? If we join forces, we'll be invincible, and the points will be a piece of cake!"

Lin Fengmian understood that the other party's hypocrisy meant they were up to no good.

He didn't even lift his eyelids, and said calmly:

"I'm not interested. You'd better leave now, don't disturb my barbecue."
