Shun Long was surprised to learn that he only won 4th place.

Based on his estimation, unless the 3 geniuses of the other 3 sects did not head to the region at all and only chased after points in the outer region, they should not be able to accumulate more points than him.

However Lan Hong, looked at Hui Zhong in bewilderment and looked as he said

'' Do you really have a face to talk to? Old man, I definitely don't expect you to be so shameless. You actually had your disciples of your sect have the life points they have for their lives to your grandchildren and you still think that your family has a face left?''

Hui Zhong was not angry at all by looking at Grand Elder Lan Hong. Instead he stared proudly as he said

''This is called the old Lan strategy. What do you know? If you're smart enough, you'll do the same as the rest of us.''

Shun Long finally understood what had happened.

''Master, these people are too shameless!'' Little Black felt angry at Shun Long.

Yet Shun Long only saw him as he responded

''Although you could call them unjust or shameless, the fault still lies with the 'floating cloud sect'. After all, for the other 3 sects to do the same thing under the nose of the 'floating cloud sect' was really interesting to them. However, I feel greatly appreciated that I cannot get a rank 3 'Bruck Vermilion Blood' rank 3.''

'The Vermilion Fruit Blood' would really help Shun Long advance a little in his cultivation.

Grand Elder Lan Hong looked at the group of 'floating cloud sects' and said

''We will be waiting here for 2 more days. If no disciples appear after these 2 days, we will assume that they have died inside and will return to the 'floating cloud city'.

After hearing Lan Hong's orders, the disciples built camp outside the Demon Mountain region.

However, it seemed that Shun Long was really among the last people to leave the region. In the next 2 days, very few disciples actually appeared, and Grand Elder Lan Hong called everyone to return to the 'floating cloud sect'.

'' I expected less than 10,000 disciples to come back alive from this 'external sect examination. I guess they were lucky that we had to deal with it before, or surely there would be more than 20,000 dead this time.'' Elder Zhu was being enchanted with Pen Lu as they returned to the floating cloud sect. '.

Their journey home was as peaceful as the first and 7 days later, they had arrived outside the 'floating cloud city'.

The people within the city were shocked to see a large group of new disciples returning to the sect.

Normally, the 'external sect examination' was extremely bloody and only half of the departing disciples would return alive. However, this year should have been bloodier since this was a 'shared sect test' between the 4 sects. However, more than half of the disciples had returned alive, and most importantly, before.

The disciples in the Demon Mountain region who were participating in the question asked the Grand Elder why they were summoned prematurely, but the Elder did not reply at all.

After entering the city, Elder Lu Cheng asked the disciples to disperse while he had Shun Long, Guan Hong, present, and a female disciple named Fen Liqing who was also at the top of the 3rd rank in the earth class, to come to the administrative building with him to get their imbalance.

Following the Grand Elder and the other 2 Elders, Shun Long immediately arrived in front of the huge 'Administrative Building. Inside, the disciples hurriedly asked the Grand Elder who directly asked to meet with Administrator Feng.

A middle-aged man was seen running from a distance, as he immediately arrived in front of the Grand Elder and greeted politely

''Greetings to Grand Elder.''

Grand Elder, Lan Hong nodded his head at Administrator Feng who was staring in bewilderment, wondering why they had returned to the sect so quickly when he said

''Xiao Feng, give them a reward for the top 3. The first place was Shun Long, the second place was Guan Hong and the third place was Fen Liqing.'' Lan Hong said as he introduced his students to Administrator Feng one by one.

It seemed that neither Lu Cheng, nor Administrator Feng that Shun Long had encountered in the past were aware of who he was.

Administrator Feng handed over to Shun Long and the rest a silver ring, which was identical to his. This was a spatial ring that could only be possessed by people with status in the sect. After transferring the sect points to the jade of their sect, Administrator Feng also handed over 100 spirit stones to Shun Long as he said in an envious tone.

''Haa, 100 spirit stones is really not a small amount.''

Shun Long nodded his head at Administrator Feng without really noticing his words when Grand Elder Lan Hong suddenly ordered them to leave because he had some matters to discuss with Administrator Feng.

Not just Shun Long and the others, the entire 3rd floor 'Administrative Building' was quickly cleared of all disciples. Only the Grand Elder, Administrator and the 2 Elders were left inside.

As they left the building, Guan Hong turned to Shun Long and said

'' I don't know where you came from or how you collected so many sect points, but I'm paying attention to you right now. You better not become a laughingstock and lose when I challenge you in the arena in the days to come.''

Shun Long looked at Guan Hong fully, but Guan Hong just asked and left. Fen Liqing also cupped his gaze at Shun Long before he continued on his own.

Shun Long then, decided to rent a room in the most expensive pavilion in 'outside the city', the

'Confusing Fragrance Pavilion'.
