The eight clan leaders understood. That was a seal.
That person had sealed the pearl with his bloodline power.
The pearl, which could originally communicate with everyone, was once again silent.
The eight clan leaders prepared to find that person and ask what had happened.
And he and his family had all disappeared.
That person had left with his wife and children, just like that.
And he hadn't left any clues.
He was the one who was originally the ruler, sitting in the central seat of the council hall.
He had given up control of the eight great families and left silently.
Thus, the eight great families lived in peace for twenty years.
One day, the eight great families of this generation gathered again.
Someone proposed a plan to nurture the Luo family's pearl with endless blood qi.
Twenty years had passed, and the green light membrane on the pearl that could breed the Qi Soul Bead had disappeared.
It had once again tempted everyone.
This time, it was the occasion when Old Madam Ma had beaten up the seven clan leaders.
The Song family head had also left because of this, leaving only six family heads to plan this matter.
And that generation, the Chess family head was Chess Zheng Yi's brother, Chess Zheng Er.
Not long after, for some unknown reason, Chess Zheng Er returned to the Chess family severely injured.
On his deathbed, he passed the position of family head to his elder brother, asking him to manage the family on his behalf.
And he told him about the matter of nurturing the pearl with endless blood qi.
Chess Zheng Yi asked who had injured him so badly, and if it was someone from the Ma family.
Chess Zheng Er shook his head and said, "It was a pregnant woman!"
These were his last words.
The family heads of the other families in that generation also passed on their positions around this time.
However, Qin Xiaorou and Song Qingshan had not heard of this plan.
At this moment, when Chess Zheng Yi revealed this matter, Qin Xiaorou and Song Qingshan learned what had happened back then.
Across from them, Luo Lingshan said with a cold gaze, "You three stop them, I'll go activate the grand array."
"To activate the Blood Sacrifice Heavenly Soul Array, at least three Condensing Blood Soul Gathering Arrays are needed, and the blood qi must be sufficient," Zhang Daokun added beside Luo Lingshan.
The latter nodded and leaped from the high platform.
Zheng... Qin Xiaorou plucked the strings of her zither, and a stream of qi shot towards Luo Lingshan.
Shu Tianlong, who was on guard, flicked his soft sword.
Ding...
He had blocked Qin Xiaorou's attack with ease.
"It is enough for me to stop these three, why would Clan Leader Zhang need to act?"
Shu Tianlong sneered.
"Shu Tianlong... you are not good at swordplay..."
Song Qingshan also made a move, forming a hand seal with his fingers and pointing at his glabella.
"Sword come..."
Ceng...
A palm-sized flying sword shot out from the crown of his head.
It cut through the air and slashed towards Shu Tianlong.
...
Everyone noticed the change on the high platform.
Those who didn't understand were stunned.
Why were the eight clan leaders fighting?
Even Old Madam Ma stood up, her eyes burning.
She said to the person beside her, "Lingling, go and save them!"
And as she took a step forward...
Roar...
A phantom of a golden divine dragon appeared out of thin air beneath her feet.
Carrying Old Madam Ma, she flew towards Luo Lingshan who had leaped off the high platform.
All of this happened too suddenly, Chu Tian was dumbfounded.
Why did they start fighting?
He had no idea that it was all because he had killed too many people on Arena Number Three.
This caused problems with the grand array set up by Zhang Daokun and Luo Lingshan.
And it caused this great battle to erupt prematurely.
Chu Tian saw someone fly out from the high platform, it was the old schemer Luo Lingshan.
He naturally did not forget the reason for coming to the Luo family.
"You guys, quickly go find your aunt and rendezvous, I'm going to find Luoluo!"
Chu Tian said, activating his cheetah form and picking up speed.
He headed towards the depths of the Luo family.
He planned to take advantage of the chaos to reach the depths of the Luo family.
At the same time, he released the divine soul detection that he had been hesitant to use.
"Yaoyao, run quickly!"
A warning came from the high platform, accompanied by the sound of zither strings.
Chu Tian looked up and saw Zhang Daokun slap out a hand.
A giant palm print appeared out of thin air.
It shot towards Arena Number Five...
And Chu Tian was currently below Arena Number Five.
With a sweep of his divine sense, he saw a frightened little girl on the arena, holding a guqin no smaller than herself.
It was... Qin Yao!
Without a second thought, Chu Tian leaped onto the arena.
Displaying extreme speed, he rushed to Qin Yao's side. He couldn't care about anything else now.
Zhang Daokun's giant palm print had reached overhead.
Chu Tian grabbed Qin Yao by the collar and threw her with all his might.
Qin Yao was flung out of the arena.
Chu Tian's movement was thus interrupted.
He was enveloped by the giant hand.
Boom...
The entire martial arts arena trembled.
On Arena Number Five, there was only flesh and blood.
Hundreds of people who were fighting, but had stopped to watch the commotion on the high platform, were all crushed into meat paste by this palm.
Visibly, a red light emerged from the ground of the arena, and blood and flesh seeped into the ground.
Chichichi...
Chu Tian lay on the ground, coughing up two mouthfuls of blood.
Just now, he had activated his giant bear form and used the combined skill... Iron Mane.
But... he was still almost crushed onto the arena by Zhang Daokun.
The clan leader level figures were truly monstrous.
Chu Tian cursed silently in his heart.
"Big brother..."
Qin Yao, whom he had thrown out of the arena, dodged that blow and immediately jumped back onto the arena.
She came to Chu Tian's side and reached out to help him, but her strength was not enough, and she couldn't pull Chu Tian up.
Chu Tian struggled to get up, tilted his head to look at her, and grinned, revealing teeth stained with blood, "You are the shore of dreams, aren't you?"
"Mmhmm mmm..." Qin Yao nodded, tears streaming down her face.
"Hehe... I guessed correctly!"
"Go find Aunt Ma, I'm going to find your sister Yi Yi."
He said, pointing towards Ma Lingling and Ma Deju who had just rendezvoused.
Boom boom... With several more rumbling sounds, other arenas were also attacked by Zhang Daokun.
Although Arena Number Five was attacked first, the people on other arenas were greatly alarmed and fled in all directions.
But Zhang Daokun's attacks were too fast.
One palm strike after another, and countless people were still crushed.
Among them, the disciples of the eight great families participating in the competition were not spared.
This sudden turn of events happened too quickly, and those who came to attend the大会 became like startled birds.
The entire martial arts arena descended into chaos.
Various curses and roars could be heard continuously.
"Big brother... are you alright?" Qin Yao helped Chu Tian to stand.
His body swayed, but he was not seriously injured.
He just spat out a few mouthfuls of blood from the shock.
Just as Chu Tian was about to speak.
Shua...
A figure leaped onto Arena Number Five.
Seeing the person who arrived, Chu Tian's eyes narrowed.
He adopted a defensive posture.
"Zhang Cheng, what are you doing?" Chu Tian pulled Qin Yao behind him and asked sternly.
Zhang Cheng ignored him and beckoned to Qin Yao, "Yaoyao, come with me quickly!"
Chu Tian frowned and reached out to stop Qin Yao, who was about to go.
"Big brother, don't worry, Sister Chengzi is not a bad person!"
Qin Yao dodged Chu Tian's obstruction, turned her back to Zhang Cheng, and walked backward step by step, saying to Chu Tian.
