Celestial City Star.

On the bustling streets, skyscrapers flicker with void particles, reaching straight into the clouds, countless hovering vehicles orderly spiral in the sky, and security officers carefully patrol the streets, each radiating a powerful aura.

These days, it's not only the Ancestor Star's Martial Exam; students of appropriate age throughout the Federation are also simultaneously undergoing the exam.

Every year at this time, the defense level of various New Stars is raised to the highest, fearing any unforeseen incidents.

Each major family faction also spontaneously organizes various activities at this time, providing convenience and support for the Martial Arts Examination Candidates.

This not only serves as propaganda for their own strength but also deepens the impression on the candidates, aiding in recruiting some high-potential martial artists.

Usually, by this time, the Five Great Families of Celestial City Star have already monopolized all positions related to the Martial Exam.

Such as stationed martial artists, free instructors, free exam registration, and so on.

This is the most crucial moment for seizing 'hidden resources.'

The Five Great Families have long been arguing incessantly every year today, especially the Chen Family, which never gives up even a sliver of benefit.

But today, for some unknown evil wind, none of the Chen Family's major decision-makers showed up, instead, an ordinary elder came to discuss these matters with other families.

The decision-makers of other families looked at the shivering elder, although no words were spoken from their mouths.

Yet their eyes discreetly clashed midair for an instant.

For these cunning old foxes, today's behavior by the Chen Family revealed too much.

They all knew in their hearts....

The Chen Family... was in trouble!!

Within the old Chen mansion, the entire courtyard was unprecedentedly silent; the Chen Family's decision-makers were at this moment kneeling on the ground, their heads firmly pressed into the dust, not daring to lift them the slightest bit.

Clatter!!

Space emitted anguished wails as if unable to bear its burden, dark red threads crazily weaved through space, each thread hiding immensely terrifying power, causing space to collapse continually.

Buzzing~

The dark red light flickered on those threads, carrying a spine-chilling aura, as if within each thread resided a terrifying Evil Beast.

It glared greedily at those kneeling on the ground, radiating astonishment, hunger, and malice.

Countless threads behind a hunched figure spread out, covering the sky and blocking the sun, like a terrifying demon shadow aiming to devour heaven and earth.

The threads grazed over Chen Zian and others gently like a feather, but still caused those with high authority to shiver involuntarily.

"Haha... hahaha..."

A forcibly suppressed trembling laughter broke the eerie silence.

"Su Tu... good, good... such a Su Tu..."

"How many years, how many years, it's been so many years since anyone could make this old man suffer such a loss...."

"Good, good...."

The ancient voice, laced with the miasma of decay, resounded through the entire courtyard, hoarse and calm, yet hidden behind this calm was boundless killing intent.

A decaying figure slowly stood up.

This was an elder so ancient beyond measure; his face was full of wrinkles, age spots laid layer upon layer over half his body, the miasma of decay surrounded him, as if he might die at any moment.

With every word he spoke, his body trembled incessantly, as if he could give up his last breath at any moment.

However, such an elder caused Chen Zian, the current head of the Chen Family, not to dare lift his head even slightly.

"Old Ancestor... do not be angry..."

Chen Zian lifted his head to look at the elder, boldly speaking.

"Angry?"

"When did this old man ... say I ... was angry??" The elder, trembling, lifted his gaze towards Chen Zian.

On his extremely aged and decayed face, his eyes were exceptionally bright, within which a light white mist seemed to linger.

As his voice fell.

The innumerable dark red threads behind him shot toward Chen Zian, the violent aura erupted instantly, like starving beasts after seeing flesh and blood.

"I've erred!! Old Ancestor, I've erred! I shouldn't have, shouldn't presumptuously judged Old Ancestor's emotions!!"

Chen Zian trembled all over, frantically banging his head on the ground, trying to earn the elder's forgiveness, but all that awaited him were the dark red terrifying threads.

Countless threads instantly pierced into Chen Zian's body.

"Aaaaah!!!"

The next moment, Chen Zian fell to the ground, curled up into a ball, rolling frantically on the ground in utter disgrace, undergoing unimaginable pain, sweat poured from his head in torrents.

Blood continually seeped through his body's pores, his entire face twisted, ferocious and dreadful, overwhelmed by agony.

He wanted to beg for mercy, but couldn't utter a single word.

The others, let alone pleading for him, didn't even dare lift their heads, not daring to make any move, each kneeling on the ground like quails, burying their heads deeper and deeper.

Chen Zian's wails echoed throughout the courtyard, casting chills down one's spine.

But as the elder listened to those wails, his previously gloomy expression relaxed somewhat, as if hearing some beautiful music.

Accompanying those distressing sounds, the elder quivered and spoke.

"Chen Xian's... identity, can no longer... be used."

"Su Tu, this... person, for now... do not engage, do not provoke..."
