Thinking of this, Ye Li decided not to continue confronting the other party. He glanced at the Tao and Guan families, then slowly retreated towards the Holy Spring Temple opposite the open space.
His movements were very slow. After all, he was not sure whether the Tao and Guan families would suddenly attack him, so he had to stay ready to fight at any time.
The Tao and Guan families looked at Ye Li's actions and had no intention of attacking him.
In their opinion, Ye Li's strength was much stronger than theirs. Once the battle started, they would likely suffer heavy casualties.
The most crucial thing is that, in the eyes of the Tao family, the Zhao family and the housekeeper have always been on good terms. If a fight really breaks out, the housekeeper may not necessarily join them in attacking the other side.
Maybe the butler's people will join forces with the other side to attack them, and then they may all be killed in front of the Holy Spring Palace.
Under the current circumstances, if the Zhao family takes first place, there will be no loss for them, just like their attitude towards the three members of the Zhu family before. After the Zhao family gets first place, they will compete for the second place. Anyway, the Zhu family has no chance of getting a ranking now, and there are only three families competing for it.
Ye Li retreated to the front of the Holy Spring Hall. Seeing that the other party did not seem to have any intention of attacking him, although he was a little confused, he did not care too much. Finally, he turned around, put his hands on the stone door of the Holy Spring Hall, and pushed hard.
At this time, on the platform halfway up the mountain, the Zhao family had already killed all the members of the Zhu family, and the hatred in their hearts had finally subsided.
After killing the Zhu family, the Zhao family had no intention of continuing the fight. Zhao Qingyuan took the remaining eight people and retreated to the side on their own, with no intention of fighting again.
The remaining Tao and Guan families were only fighting symbolically. While fighting, they kept looking towards the top of the mountain, waiting for someone to enter the Holy Spring Temple.
After all, for the people on the platform, the battle is not about life and death, it is more like a competition between their families.
Their role is to restrain each other and only allow the first three people to reach the top of the mountain.
Therefore, after the Zhao family killed the Zhu family in revenge, the other two families had no desire to fight again.
Zhao Qingyuan stood aside with the Zhao family, his mind shifted to the top of the mountain, and he looked up with a worried look on his face.
He didn't know whether Ye Li had managed to reach the top of the mountain. After all, if Ye Li felt he couldn't hold on halfway and came down the mountain, he should have appeared on this platform by now.
But Zhao Qingyuan had just looked down the mountain and there was no sign of Ye Li at all, so he couldn't help but worry whether Ye Li had encountered problems on the mountain road over there or had already reached the top of the mountain.
If Ye Li reached the top of the mountain, it was unclear whether he could compete with the other three families on his own.
Just as the Zhao family was looking up at the top of the mountain, suddenly a low bell rang at the top of the mountain, followed by a flash of golden and red light at the top of the mountain.
Seeing the golden and red light flash, Zhao Qingyuan and others showed an incredible look on their faces.
The Tao and Guan families were equally shocked. They looked at the Zhao family next to them with confusion.
The bell ringing just now indicated that someone had entered the Holy Spring Hall, and gold and red were the representative colors of the Zhao family, which meant that the first family to enter the Holy Spring Hall this time was the Zhao family.
The Tao and Guan families stopped fighting after the bell rang. They were extremely confused. They had clearly not seen any member of the Zhao family passing through the platform just now. They were puzzled as to how the other party had won the championship of the Holy Mountain Trial.
Zhao Qingyuan and the others also found it unbelievable. They never thought that Ye Li actually reached the top of the mountain smoothly and was the first to enter the Holy Spring Hall before everyone else.
After being shocked, the remaining nine people of the Zhao family suddenly burst into warm cheers and jumped on the platform with excitement on their faces.
In their opinion, although they suffered heavy losses from the Zhu family's sneak attack this time, they still avenged themselves.
And now Ye Li was the first to enter the Holy Spring Hall before the Zhu family. They could be considered to have won the bet with the Zhu family. Not only did they gain three more counties' private areas, but they could also obtain the recipe for the Blazing Sun Melting Snow Pill.
Such a result will undoubtedly make everyone feel excited.
At the entrance of the Holy Spring Temple on the top of the mountain, Ye Li had just pushed open the stone door and stepped in. On the second floor of the temple, a young man who looked like a servant saw the cloth wrapped around Ye Li's arm at a glance, immediately understood his identity, and hurriedly rang the golden bell next to him.
At the same time, he casually touched a golden and red mechanism next to him, and a golden and red light immediately flashed above the Holy Spring Temple on the top of the mountain.
Ye Li was stunned for a moment, then realized that this should be to inform others of the results of the competition.
Then Ye Li looked up at the Holy Spring Hall. He was stunned when he saw it. Except for a small bell tower on the second floor, the entire hall was empty without any decorations.
While Ye Li was wondering, another stone door opposite the hall was suddenly pushed open, and an old man with a ruddy complexion, round face and long eyebrows suddenly jumped out from behind the door.
His face was full of laughter at this time, and he danced and shouted like a child, "Hahaha, Zhu Tuzi, Lao Tao, Guan Dunzi, it seems that my Zhao family is the first to come in this time!
You must accept the bet and admit defeat. For the next five years, I will not help you deal with any of the troubles here. I am going to go to the forest to play with the monsters."
As the old man spoke, his expression became more and more proud, and he ran towards Ye Li excitedly.
Immediately behind him, a bald old man with an angry face and vicious eyes walked in. After entering the Holy Spring Hall, he looked straight at Ye Li.
After seeing Ye Li, a hint of dissatisfaction appeared on his face.
Behind the bald old man, a kind-looking round-faced old man walked in. The old man looked ruddy and had kind eyes. He was gently stroking his long beard with one hand and looking at Ye Li with a smile on his face.
Behind the round-faced old man, an old man with a serious face walked in. He had a square face, a broad forehead, and a short beard. Apart from looking a little serious and rigid, there was nothing special about his appearance.
After the four of them came in, they all walked towards Ye Li in unison, with different expressions on their faces, looking him up and down.
This made Ye Li feel a little uncomfortable, but he also knew that the other party should be an elder-level figure from one of the four major chambers of commerce, who was specifically assigned to guard the Sacred Mountain.
At this time, outside the Holy Spring Temple, the Tao and Guan families started fighting again, rushing towards the Holy Spring Temple. The two families interfered with each other, trying to fight for the second place.
