Principal Jian Qingqiu's expression had become extremely unsightly. Since the two-year deadline had passed, he had been waiting for Nangong Yue'er and the others to return.
He believed that with Wei Junjie's presence, ordinary cultivators would never be their opponents!
It was widely known that poison masters' strength far surpassed that of ordinary cultivators. Their ability to wield various powerful toxins made them virtually invincible.
Even among the talented cultivators from various dynasties who participated in the assessment competition, poison masters were an extremely rare existence.
Even within a single dynasty, encountering a poison master was also a rare occurrence. Jian Qingqiu believed that with Wei Junjie in the team, the Qingxiao Kingdom would surely achieve excellent results this time.
Once Nangong Yue'er and the others achieved good results and returned alive, Lingyun Academy would have the capital for publicity.
Many young cultivators would surely be drawn to the academy after participating in the assessment competition!
By then, Lingyun Academy's reputation would become even more resounding, taking it to new heights.
However, he had waited for so long without receiving any news of Nangong Yue'er and the others' return.
As time passed, his worries grew heavier.
"The assessment competition has already ended, but they still haven't returned. Could something unexpected have happened?" Jian Qingqiu couldn't understand. According to reason, with such a lineup, failure was simply impossible.
There had been instances in the history of the Qingxiao Kingdom where the entire army had been wiped out, but sometimes they had managed to return safely.
Based on the frequency of such incidents in the past, it was a 50-50 chance, but this time the camp was evidently more powerful than before, so there shouldn't have been any issues.
Just as Jian Qingqiu was waiting, Lin Yinghao hurriedly walked in, his face filled with anxiety.
"Principal, something bad has happened!"
Hearing Lin Yinghao's words, Jian Qingqiu couldn't help but frown. His mood was already sour, and now Lin Yinghao was bringing more bad news, making his mood even worse.
"What happened?"
Jian Qingqiu looked impatiently at Lin Yinghao. At this moment, the most important thing to him was the results of the assessment competition. Everything else was irrelevant.
"The news from the assessment competition has arrived!"
Lin Yinghao disregarded Jian Qingqiu's impatience. This was extremely important news!
Jian Qingqiu immediately suppressed his impatience, and his expression turned serious. "Bad news from the assessment competition?"
Lin Yinghao's face also looked grim, and he nodded. "The entire team of cultivators from the Qingxiao Kingdom has been annihilated."
Upon hearing this, Jian Qingqiu's expression instantly changed. He directly grabbed Lin Yinghao's clothes and said, "What did you say?"
"Completely annihilated. This is the news from the royal family. The entire royal family is in a state of decline now."
At this moment, Lin Yinghao didn't care about Jian Qingqiu's actions. In fact, when he first heard the news, he found it unbelievable as well.
Originally, they were all convinced that Wei Junjie and the others would achieve good results, and they were just waiting to welcome them back with great fanfare. But who could have imagined that the final outcome would be like this?
Seeing Lin Yinghao so certain, Jian Qingqiu's face turned pale, and his hands gradually loosened their grip on Lin Yinghao. His expression appeared hollow.
Completely annihilated.
They had been completely annihilated!
With this development, his perfect plan had become nothing but a pipe dream.
Not only that, Lingyun Academy's strength would also come under scrutiny.
