"If the Xuanwu Divine Hall is a place that handles matters impartially, then you should know that it was your fiancée who first tried to kill me, and later relentlessly pursued me with experts."

"My visit to your Cangjing Family today was also forced by you."

Ling Xiao said.

"How dare you slander the Xuanwu Divine Hall?"

Cangjin Fan coldly asked.

"I never said that, do you always like to put words in people's mouths?"

Ling Xiao retorted.

"Why bother with so much nonsense, Cangjin Fan, if you want to battle, we will accompany you to the end. Since you've already taken out the flag in your hand, why not wave it already?

I'd like to see whether it's your Four Great Clans that will be annihilated today, or my Medicine King Pavilion that will disappear!"

Sun Ran grew impatient and said coldly.

"Xuanwu descends, all beings bow!"

Suddenly, a mysterious voice echoed in the sky, and then everyone saw a person stepping through the air from afar. As this person walked, they seemed to merge with heaven and earth, with an aura so lofty, it was hard to look directly at them.

"Pay respects to the Divine Envoy of Xuanwu Divine Hall!"

The people of the Cangjing Family hurriedly landed and knelt towards that person, calling out.

All others who knew of the existence of the Xuanwu Divine Hall knelt as well.

Including Ji Qing, Sun Ran, and Fan Ruohai, none dared to remain standing.

Only Ling Xiao couldn't kneel, not because he was brave, but because he'd never heard of the Xuanwu Divine Hall; how could he kneel in confusion?

"The Divine Hall is already aware of your matter and has specially dispatched me, the Divine Envoy, to mediate this issue."

The Divine Envoy glanced over everyone faintly and then said, "The grievances between Ling Xiao and the Cangjing Family shall be resolved by them alone, and Zhengyi Sect, Tianlong Trade Company, Medicine King Pavilion, and Fan Family are not to interfere, that's that."

Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao furrowed his eyebrows.

It seemed that the Divine Envoy favored the Cangjing Family, letting him resolve issues with them, which sounded fair, but in reality, it entirely divided his side's battle power.

Although Medicine King Sun Ran and others were very aloof, they dared not disobey in front of the Divine Envoy.

They knocked out Sun Leng Chan, Red Moon, and Mu Wan Shuang, exiting Ling Xiao's team.

Now, Ling Xiao's helpers were down to Liu Lian and the martial artists he brought from the Heavenly Dynasty Empire.

As well as Ji Qing and Ji Luoyu.

In an instant, the situation changed dramatically; they transformed from being the strong to the weak.

"Ji Qing, does your Tianlong Trade Company dare not respect the orders of the Xuanwu Divine Hall?"

The Divine Envoy asked coldly.

"Bullshit Xuanwu Divine Hall, revered by others, but to me, Ji Qing, it's nothing at all. Try provoking my Tianlong Trade Company!"

Ji Qing's attitude was even more domineering than the Divine Envoy's.

"I've said it before, I vowed to protect Brother Ling and others, and I won't go back on my word!"

"Just who exactly is this kid that makes you so obstinate?" The Divine Envoy frowned and said, "Moreover, I'm letting him resolve matters with the Cangjing Family, and the Cangjing Family also can't utilize the other three families' strength, isn't that fair?"

"Whether it's fair or not, you know it best in your heart, do I really have to spell it out?"

Ji Qing said disdainfully, "Your Divine Hall stepping in, forcibly weakening Ling Xiao's side, that's clearly helping improperly, do you really think others are fools?"

"Hmph, it doesn't matter if he's included, Cangjin Fan, act!"

From the void came a cold snort, actually the voice of a Reincarnation Realm expert, truly shocking, as if the surrounding space was filled with his voice.

"As you command!"

Cangjin Fan sneered, suddenly stepping out, moving with lightning speed, and in an instant, he was in front of Ling Xiao, reaching out to capture him.

"To kill him, you'll have to get past me first!"

Ji Qing stomped down, his figure suddenly soaring into the sky, and struck at Cangjin Fan's fists.

Boom!

A tremendous rumble erupted, as if the entire sky collapsed.

Cangjin Fan was knocked back more than ten steps by Ji Qing, yet Ji Qing himself didn't retreat in the slightest.

"So strong! This guy, at least a half-step Reincarnation Realm expert, even Cangjin Fan isn't his opponent."

Previously, no one knew Ji Qing's true strength, but today, seeing how easily he sent Cangjin Fan flying, his dreadful power was evident.

"I'll hold off this guy, you all, take down that kid!"

Cangjin Fan frowned, and suddenly behind him appeared a shadow, that of a woman.

Though not very tall, her appearance was beautiful, with a doll-like face.

This must be the ancestor of the Cangjing Family, the Human Immortal who once betrayed the King of People.

Indeed, the Cangjin Ancestral Soul varies in strength depending on the person's hand.

Cangjin Fan unleashed his Martial Soul, rapidly increasing his speed. Although he couldn't overcome Ji Qing, he managed to entangle him, preventing him from aiding Ling Xiao.

Among the group of experts, one of the Yin-Yang Realm seventeenth-level experts leapt forward and lunged at Ling Xiao.

His cultivation level was only slightly weaker than Cangjin Fan's, making it relatively easy to kill Ling Xiao.

In the air, terrifying waves of energy surged, and a dark powerful energy emerged from Ling Xiao's body.

He was ready to fight with everything he had!

But just then, a figure dashed out from the crowd, intercepting that seventeenth-level expert.

Effortlessly blocking the expert's strike.

This person was grey-haired, appearing over a hundred years old.

Though somewhat gaunt, it was evident he was vigorous and his palm force was full of power.

"Who?"

The Divine Envoy of Xuanwu Divine Hall frowned, unexpectedly, there was still someone daring to assist Ling Xiao, truly disregarding the Xuanwu Divine Hall.

"Dragon and Phoenix Continent, Heavenly Dynasty Empire martial artist Hong Qi!"

The one who intervened was indeed Ling Xiao's grandfather, Hong Qi.

He had come here merely to witness Ling Xiao's participation in the White Tiger Summit before leaving.

But his grandson was in danger, how could he ignore it?

Especially now, as his cultivation level had gradually recovered, it was the perfect time to be of use, not intervening would not sit well.

"Grandfather!"

Ling Xiao couldn't help but be overjoyed.

He didn't even know his grandfather had come.

Though he felt a powerful aura nearby protecting him, he truly didn't know who it was.

"How does this kid have such a powerful grandfather?"

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch thought his bet was about to be won, but the appearance of this old man instantly shattered his confidence.

The old man's strength surely was enough to handle two Yin-Yang Realm seventeenth-level martial artists.

"Ling Xiao, just who are you really?"

Phoenix Fei Ye also frowned, she of course knew that Ling Xiao was just Ling Xiao.

But the more Ling Xiao showed, the more he became inscrutable to her.

"All together, don't be afraid of that old man!"

Cangjin Fan's voice was filled with violent anger, they absolutely couldn't allow anyone to constantly prevent them from killing Ling Xiao.

"Ah, seems I'm going to have to step in as well."

Suddenly, the Blind Lady Zui Linlong sitting next to Phoenix Fei Ye sighed, gently lifting her pipa, rising into the air, and then a pleasant melody rang out, immediately disrupting the formation of the Cangjing Family.
