Chapter 1466: Chapter 541: Grave Digging_1
In the end, the hooligan group within the Imperial Manor hadn’t been able to catch the remaining four Spirit Insects. Those with enough ability to catch them were stubborn as Heaven’s Chosen and refused to yield. They would rather get beaten than catch the insects. If you have the ability, then kill them!
Those without the ability wanted to give in after being beaten, but they couldn’t find the last four "Heaven’s Chosen" insects either.
The Dragon Snake List in history had an example of one assessment lasting for several days, but the "Great Pursuit" assessment was supposed to end within a day. The Emperor and his ministers had been waiting outside for an entire day, bored. No cultivators came out...
After dark, the ministers could only persuade His Majesty to return to the palace first. The emperor refused and recalled what Owen Bertram, the courtier, had hinted at during the day. He ordered, "Remove the Array seal on the Imperial Manor; I want to see exactly what happened inside!"
After seeing it, the emperor was naturally shocked. He immediately realized that the loophole in the rule that he had deliberately left for the so-called "powerful cultivators in the fight" had been exploited by some little scoundrels and resulted in devastation!
But the emperor couldn’t admit his mistake, and the ministers couldn’t cling to the emperor’s minor mistake over such a small matter. So, the original "chief examiner," a certain minister with little presence, became the scapegoat.
Everyone agreed that the exam question had been set by the chief examiner and submitted to His Majesty for approval – thus, the emperor was at most guilty of "neglect". In the future, this exam question would be repeatedly discussed as a negative example and pinned to the pillar of shame, with that unfortunate chief examiner bearing the brunt.
Owen Bertram secretly breathed a sigh of relief because the emperor had quietly mentioned the position of chief examiner to him originally, intending for him to take the title. Fortunately, Owen Bertram declined to avoid suspicion...
The following day, someone on the Imperial Court proposed that the results of the First Stage Assessment be voided. The reason was that only six people had really passed the first stage, while the original plan was to select 300 people. Moreover, yesterday’s assessment process had been too bizarre.
Owen Bertram arrived at the capital and also had to attend the court. Originally, he was too lazy to get involved with the affairs of the court and stood quietly at his position with his eyes closed, holding his board. If he had the ability to sleep standing up, he would have been asleep by now.
However, as soon as this proposal was presented, Owen Bertram suddenly opened his eyes and immediately stood up, "What kind of proposal it that? Are the court and His Majesty going back on their words? The world is watching the Dragon Snake List. If you cancel the results, is it to make the whole world laugh at the Great Wu or laugh at you?"
"Where is the dignity of the court?"
Owen Bertram stared and ranted, silencing all the officials in the court. Those who initially intended to support the proposal didn’t dare to speak. Although Owen Bertram rarely spoke when he attended court, who would dare to ignore him when he did?
Even the official who proposed the idea couldn’t say a word of rebuttal and shamefully retreated...
Master Dunn sighed and shook his head. As you can see, the "Exam Site Hooligan Group" dared to be so reckless because they had someone backing them. Originally, Owen Bertram refused to be the chief examiner, so everyone thought he wouldn’t be too biased, but now his true colors were exposed.
This is ours from the Owen family; no one can steal it!
The emperor was also somewhat troubled: "But the second stage assessment was originally only scheduled for 300 people, and the exam questions and venues were also set for 300 people..."
Owen Bertram said, "That’s also easy to solve. Set up an array at the entrance of the exam venue for a quick realm screening. In addition to the six cultivators who passed the first stage, any other cultivators who can pass through this array can participate in the second stage assessment."
The emperor thought for a while and said, "Fine, we’ll do it this way."
When the court ended, Owen Bertram fiercely glared at the official who had made the proposal, scaring him into hiding in the crowd. During the next two stages of the assessment, under the plan of the two "strategists", Lily’s group always found loopholes in the rules, preventing other cultivators from taking the exam peacefully.
General Hugo’s arranged mole was actually the one who suffered the most. His mission wasn’t to get a good ranking in the Dragon Snake List but to investigate the potential of the young generation of Great Wu. However, because Lily’s group took the top spots in each assessment, others had no chance to demonstrate their strengths. The mole couldn’t figure out if there was potential in this group of cultivators!
Finally, at the Palace Examination, the little princess found it uninteresting, and those with ulterior motives, like Ghost and Langbolaban, didn’t even get a chance to take part in the Palace Examination...
In the end, Lily got the championship, Xenia came in second as the runner-up, and Breenda ranked third as the flower. Shelia had the ability to compete for the top three, but she couldn’t bear to compete with Lily, and she didn’t have any expectations for the Dragon Snake List, so she deliberately fell behind by a few places.
On the night the Dragon Snake List ended, Andrew Oamond secretly met with Owen Bertram: "The Horizon Bureau has closely monitored the situation, and according to your instructions, we’ve compiled a list. Each person on it is being watched by experienced brothers."
Owen Bertram moved his sore body coldly, with a murderous sneer: "It’s time for the Horizon Bureau to take action!"
What does the Horizon Bureau do? It gathers intelligence. In the Origin Resurgence era, demons and monsters were emerging, and with an event as big as the Dragon Snake List, how could the Horizon Bureau be unprepared? Before Owen Bertram entered the capital, he had discussed this matter with Master Lane through a Communication Talisman. Master Lane had given Owen Bertram full authority to handle it, authorizing him to mobilize anyone from the Horizon Bureau.
