One should not be too rampant.
This Zhang Daokun, calculating everything, plotting for over ten years, even managed to scheme against the old schemer Luo Lingshan.
Just as he emerged to show off, before he could finish speaking, his laughter was so unpleasant.
He was directly killed, his heart ripped out.
"It's him..." while everyone was shocked.
Hua Leyue had returned at some unknown time.
On the back of the monster he summoned, Qin Xiaorou and Qi Zhengyi, who had fainted, were present.
In its claws, it was carrying Song Qingshan's leg.
It was likely how his leg was injured.
Hua Leyue controlled this flying salamander and landed near Ma Lingling and the others.
It turned out that he hadn't escaped the martial arts arena and was held back by the barrier.
When he returned, he happened to catch the three people who had flown towards the high platform.
Old Madam Ma was no longer arguing with Luo Lingshan and descended from the top of the statue.
Ma Lingling was currently struggling to maintain the shield supported by her dragon soul, resisting the erosion of the blood-red formation.
With the return of Old Madam Ma, she immediately felt much more relaxed.
Old Madam Ma's golden dragon circled the outer perimeter of her shield, forming a new layer of defense.
"What's going on?" Old Madam Ma looked at the dark silhouette in the sky with caution.
She was naturally asking Hua Leyue.
"After Zhi'er and I left here, we prepared to leave the small world."
"When we reached the exit, we found it was closed by the Luo family."
"Just as I was preparing to turn back, I encountered it..."
The rest was self-explanatory; his missing arm and the summoned beast beneath him told the whole story.
As Ma Deju said this, Chu Tian suddenly asked, "How did you get out?"
He glanced at Ma Ruolin and nudged his chin, "My sister... actually has a dual dragon soul! This has always been a secret. Her silver dragon can penetrate all illusions and teleport short distances!"
Chu Tian was stunned and turned to look at the quiet yet virtuous Ma Ruolin.
He understood that the Ma family probably didn't want others to know about her mutated dragon soul.
That's why they asked him to participate in the competition on their behalf.
"Where is that old schemer Luo Lingshan?" Chu Tian asked resentfully.
Ma Deju shook his head, a look of lingering fear on his face, and slowly said, "When we left, within the entire grand formation, besides us, only that old schemer and Shu Tianlong remained!"
"Everyone else... all gone... refined by that bloody grand formation..."
Chu Tian was shocked. Thousands of people, just like that?
Luo Lingshan, that old man, had sought to gain an advantage by associating with a tiger, resulting in its skin.
He caused the death of the previous generation's old patriarch and Luo Lingfeng.
Finally, he was almost killed by Zhang Daokun.
Zhang Daokun was arrogant for only a few seconds before being killed by an external unknown entity that ripped out his heart.
Luo Lingshan's whereabouts were currently unknown, and the entity had also disappeared.
Moreover, Ninth Grandfather Luo Lingfeng and Luo Yiyi had yet to appear.
Where had they gone? Chu Tian was very worried.
The Luo family's small world was sealed, and all the Luo family members had disappeared.
They were not within the scope of the blood soul refining formation, so where had these people gone?
Chu Tian lowered his head in thought, feeling a surge of irritation.
"Kid, help me heal!"
Suddenly, someone stood in front of Chu Tian, and a cold, arrogant voice was heard.
Chu Tian frowned and looked up, only to see the elder brother of Qi Shushu, Qi Shusheng.
"Do I know you?" Chu Tian, already in a bad mood, was further disgusted by his address of "kid" and his arrogant demeanor.
If it weren't for the fact that this person was Qi Shushu's elder brother, Chu Tian would have probably slapped him.
Suppressing the impulse, he lowered his head and ignored him.
"You..." Qi Shusheng's eyebrows shot up.
"What about you, get lost..." Ma Deju scolded him directly from the side.
Qi Shusheng did not expect Ma Deju to tell him to get lost.
Without any further expression, he turned around, and at the same time, his eyes instantly became cold, a killing intent permeating the air.
Within Chu Tian's divine sense, every movement of his was within his sight.
However, he didn't care; if the other party dared to act presumptuously, he wouldn't care who his elder brother was.
But to be arbitrarily targeted with killing intent, he wouldn't remain silent either.
"If you dare to show me even a trace of killing intent again, I won't mind killing you right now!"
Chu Tian's faint voice resounded throughout the entire hall.
Ma Deju's earlier words telling Qi Shusheng to get lost had already drawn attention.
However, everyone regarded it as mere playful banter between young people.
At this moment, Chu Tian's faint, cold tone made the old fellows present shiver in their hearts.
"Such strong soul power!"
These old fellows were taken aback.
Just now, when Chu Tian spoke, he had used the secret technique given to him by Dao Tian.
He directly locked onto Qi Shusheng, who had his back to him, using his soul power.
The secret technique given by Dao Tian not only included methods for storage and retrieval but also extensive information on soul power usage.
This included controlling objects with the soul, soul locking, soul transmission, and so on.
However, he was not yet proficient, and the leaked soul power during its use was sensed by these old fellows.
Chu Tian locked onto him for a moment before retracting his soul.
But in that short period, Qi Shusheng's clothes were soaked with sweat.
He no longer dared to show any dissatisfaction and obediently retreated to the side.
However, after concealing himself, his eyes flickered, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
Meanwhile, Chu Tian also let out a sinister smile.
"Sitting here waiting to die is not a solution."
"Since this incident is related to the Luo family's fetus, let's go and take a look there!"
Old Madam Ma finished speaking and stood up.
Everyone heard this and thought it made sense, and together they followed Old Madam Ma out of the hall.
Chu Tian and the others naturally followed.
After coming out, they could feel the deathly silence here even more.
Even the chirping of insects and birds had disappeared.
The group arrived at the outer perimeter of the martial arts arena, where the red barrier still covered the entire area.
Old Madam Ma, leaning on her cane, led the way, bypassing the martial arts arena.
After circling around, they actually arrived at the edge of a cliff.
The area outside the cliff was filled with fog, and nothing could be seen clearly.
Old Madam Ma waved her hand.
Roar...
The golden dragon soul appeared.
Upon closer inspection, this dragon soul's head was as large as a truck's front, and its body was tens of feet long.
With a flick of its body, it lay across the space.
Old Madam Ma stepped onto it and beckoned to everyone.
This was meant for... riding a dragon?
Chu Tian felt a little excited.
Dragons held supreme legends in the land of Longguo.
This Ma family could actually control the soul of a divine dragon.
Chu Tian had always found it incredible.
He was the last to step onto the dragon soul's back.
It felt soft and comfortable, like stepping on sponge.
Whoosh...
The giant dragon took everyone and suddenly plunged downwards, diving headfirst.
This maneuver startled Chu Tian, who thought he would be thrown off.
However, at this moment, gravity seemed to reverse, and everyone was sucked onto the dragon's back.
They descended at an extremely fast speed, the rushing wind whistling past their ears.
