As soon as these words came out, everyone frowned, the time to receive the task was not long.

Usually, at most three hours, it would end.

Then, in the fourth hour, everyone could set off together.

But the further back one was in line, the less time there was to review the task.

Those who received the task first could plan early, strategizing how to complete the task in the shortest time possible!

Although this didn't make much of a difference for Yang Yan and the others,

it was indeed unfair to be placed at the back when they were clearly ahead, causing dissatisfaction!

Others had already noticed it, but they didn't speak up.

Li Wan Hua mentioned it, and Li Haoran spoke up.

"Indeed, let me ask about it!"

He was a disciple of the Hao Ran Zheng Qi Sect, with a heart full of Righteous Qi, and could not endure injustice.

With a step forward, he interrupted the Sole Heavenly Sect Master's voice loudly.

"Sect Master," he said, "why hasn't it reached us yet? Clearly, we registered early, not this late!" he asked.

The Sole Heavenly Sect Master frowned.

"Are you questioning this Sect Master, accusing me of being unjust to you all?" he asked sternly.

If it were an ordinary person facing such words from the Sole Heavenly Sect Master, they would certainly retreat or give in.

Unfortunately, he faced Li Haoran, who was full of righteousness and feared no one!

"Yes!"

The Sole Heavenly Sect Master sneered coldly.

"I am upright and impartial, I could never do such a thing. Do not slander me!

Besides, your inquiry not only wasted my time but also the time of everyone present!"

Li Haoran stood firm!

"I only seek fairness!" he said naturally.

The Sole Heavenly Sect Master glared unkindly, but he neither struck out nor made things difficult for him.

After all, in terms of status, he was a Sect Master, yet he was arguing with a junior.

Winning or losing would not be a good thing!

"I have been calling out names according to the list order.

If you don't believe me, you can look for yourselves!"

With a wave of his hand, the registration list appeared before everyone.

Indeed, he had been calling names one by one according to the ranking!

However, Li Haoran saw that his name and those of Yang Yan and his group were in the middle to lower positions.

Behind at least more than half of the cultivators!

"Have I spoken wrongly?" the Sole Heavenly Sect Master asked coldly.

Li Haoran squinted his eyes.

"You are not wrong, the mistake lies with the person who registered us!

Clearly, I registered very early, why was it recorded near the end?

Where is the person?

Where is the disciple who registered us?"

The Sole Heavenly Sect Master snorted coldly.

"Stop with your nonsense. My Heavenly Sect disciples would never make mistakes either!

It is you who remembered incorrectly!

Step back quickly, do not delay the Heaven Ascending Qualification Battle!" he reprimanded.

Li Haoran did not step back.

"I did not remember incorrectly, moreover, fellow Daoists also feel there is a problem!

Could it be that we have all remembered wrongly?

As for wasting time, I am only seeking justice, I believe everyone can understand!"

"Yes, I also remember registering very early!" Li Wan Hua stepped forward.

Ao Tian and Kong Xuan also stepped forward.

"You are a group of people, your words are not evidence.

Why not ask the other cultivators present, what their opinion is!" The Sole Heavenly Sect Master retorted.

"Is there any cultivator willing to testify for their registration time? Please step forward!"

At his words, Li Wan Hua and Li Haoran looked around.

There was silence!

Not a genius spoke up!

It's not that no one remembered the registration time of Li Haoran and his group; in fact, most cultivators remembered clearly.

But Li Haoran and Li Wan Hua were associated with Yang Yan!

If Yang Yan received the task details early, they would fall behind!

And Yang Yan was so gifted, too many people did not want him to get the task details before them.

Having Yang Yan receive the task details after them was beneficial for them!

Since it was beneficial, who would want to come forward and speak up?

Not to mention why Yang Yan's name was placed at the back?

Many of the geniuses present knew some of the reasons!

Yang Yan was too prominent and had offended some, and someone wanted to punish him!

"I remember you've been watching us all along, did none of you remember our registration time? Why does no one speak up?" Li Wan Hua asked.

The geniuses present one by one focused on their contemplation!

Not a single person came forward to speak for Li Wan Hua and the others!

Each showed an attitude of indifference!

"Fine, not a single cultivator will testify for you, proving there was no mistake!" The Sole Heavenly Sect Master concluded.

"All of you stand down, don't waste everyone's time!"

Li Haoran looked displeased, but no one was willing to stand up for them.

They had no choice, so they began to step back.

Li Wan Hua sneered.

"So this is the geniuses of the Central Continent, the talented cultivators from all directions!

They know the truth yet are too cowardly to stand up!

I know what you're thinking, you're afraid we'll get the task details first, finish first, and rank above you!

Or that you'll encounter us and lose!

Ha!

Don't be afraid, you won't win!

And with such attitudes, you'll never become emperors, there's no future!"

His words were filled with mockery!

The geniuses present, full of passion, couldn't stand his ridicule!

"Don't pay him any attention, let's continue!" The Sole Heavenly Sect Master quickly said upon sensing something was wrong.

However, it was too late, as a young man carrying a large knife came forward!

"I don't care about rankings like others do!

I am willing to testify for them, I can prove they indeed registered earlier than many of the cultivators who received tasks!

As for why they were placed at the back, I cannot say!" he declared.

When one person stepped forward, many others followed suit.

"I also testify for them!

What Li Wan Hua said may sound unpleasant, but he wasn't wrong!

If, in the face of the Heaven Ascending Qualification Battle, we fear losing, fear being ranked behind others, and dare not fight!

Then on the Emperor Road, wouldn't we all be too afraid to move forward!"

"You may fear Yang Yan, but I don't!

Rankings are earned through one's own strength, not through petty schemes and targeting!

I am willing to vouch for them!"

One after another stood up to testify for Yang Yan, Li Haoran, and the others.

The more he listened, the darker the Sole Heavenly Sect Master's expression became!

"A bunch of idiots!" he cursed inwardly.

But he did not let it show on his face!

"Sect Master, what do you say?" Li Wan Hua asked smilingly.

The Sole Heavenly Sect Master's expression grew even more unpleasant.

"Send the registering disciple to the Purgatory Cliff for severe punishment!

Be sure to find out who instructed him!

Rest assured, I guarantee a thorough investigation!

I will not let the Heaven Ascending Qualification Battle lose its fairness!" he proclaimed with righteousness.

Li Wan Hua laughed disdainfully.

"Alright, alright, enough with the pretense!

First, how do we deal with us being placed at the back?"

The Sole Heavenly Sect Master glared at Li Wan Hua. If it weren't in front of others, with Li Wan Hua speaking to him like this, being so disrespectful!

He would have long wiped out the other party's soul!

But how was he to deal with this matter?

"You should have been placed at the front, now I can call out your names to let you receive the task details!" the Sole Heavenly Sect Master said.

"Wait a minute, besides this, isn't there any compensation?

And what about an apology?

Your Sole Heavenly Sect made a mistake, is it just going to end like this?

No way, no way!

This is the Heaven Ascending Qualification Battle!

The sects of Heaven entrusted you with hosting it, trusting you!

Yet you made a mess of it and want it to just end like this?" Li Wan Hua remarked sarcastically.
