Han Xiling was not among the crowd.
When Emperor Beichen realized this, he already understood in his heart.
At this moment, all the cultivators had gathered in the central square.
Han Xiling's absence meant that she was no longer participating in the assessment competition.
In other words, Han Xiling was already dead!
Although he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Emperor Beichen had already determined the outcome in his heart.
As for who killed Han Xiling, he didn't care.
He had given Han Xiling a chance. As long as she stopped being a useless hindrance, she would still be a highly renowned woman in the Tian Gang Sect.
However, Han Xiling was unwilling and even went so far as to chase after Hongzhuang during the assessment competition.
He had speculated about this outcome.
His heart was filled with sighs and regrets, but this was the choice Han Xiling made for herself.
At this point, it seemed that it was time for the Elder to stop as well!
With things having reached this stage, Emperor Beichen no longer dwelled on it. Perhaps everything was destined by the heavens.
"The tenth place, Cheng Hefeng!"
"The ninth place..."
As Gu Taihong continued announcing the names, the rankings of these top ten cultivators carried much more weight than the following ninety.
The assessment competition had gathered geniuses, and being able to stand out among so many cultivators proved that they were the cream of the crop!
"The third place, Xiang Congwen."
When Gu Taihong announced the third place, Baili Hongzhuang's name still hadn't been mentioned. Xia Zhiqing and the others couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
Baili Hongzhuang's points were higher than theirs, which meant her ranking couldn't be lower than theirs.
However, she wasn't in the top three. Didn't that mean Baili Hongzhuang was either second or even first?
Thinking of this, they couldn't help but feel excited.
Who could have expected that Hongzhuang would achieve such a good result?
It was truly astonishing!
"Oh my goodness, our leader has such an amazing result. She's truly going to become famous now!" Xia Zhiqing couldn't hide her excitement. What an impressive achievement!
"Han Hongyi can't find any faults now. This result is the best proof of her strength!" Bai Junyu sighed with relief. It seemed that the situation was much better than they had anticipated.
"Even if Han Xiling is still alive, her ranking can never be higher than our leader's!" Yuan Xiaoman said with a smile.
However, just as Xia Zhiqing and the others were overjoyed, Gong Shaoqing couldn't help but furrow his brows. "Why haven't we heard Mo Yunjue's name until now?"
Although Mo Yunjue joined their group later, they believed that with his strength, his points couldn't be few.
But even so, his name hadn't been mentioned yet, which was a bit strange.
"Could it be that Mo Yunjue is in the second or first place?" Dongfang Yu speculated aloud. He felt that Mo Yunjue's departure was somewhat peculiar.
Not only the cultivators from the Tian Gang Dynasty but also Cheng Hefeng and Yu Junfei's gaze fell on Baili Hongzhuang.
Until now, Baili Hongzhuang's name hadn't been mentioned, and they could already be certain that she wasn't in the second place but possibly the first.
Such an achievement was enough to make every cultivator present envious.
Cheng Hefeng and Yu Junfei were both amazed. They had already guessed that Baili Hongzhuang's performance wouldn't be bad, but they never expected her results to be this impressive.
