Instead, Zhang Po, having picked up on the meaning of the earlier conversation, looked at Xiao Yifei and said, "You inherited the Xiao Family's Purple Flame Holy Fire?"

Xiao Yifei chuckled, "Sort of, there were many twists and turns in that process. I'll tell you more about it later."

The Sunflame Qilin in the sky spoke again, "Bound by the limitations of the Xiao Family's ancestors, I couldn't leave the mountain and had to temporarily bow to the Xiao clan members of your generation. But I didn't expect you all to do something like this. Today, despite being restricted, I must eradicate you of this generation!"

"Hahaha, quite the big talker you are; who knows how much auspicious Qi we've taken from you already? Thinking of resistance now, it's too late! Hand over the Qilin Blood obediently, and I might consider continuing to keep you for a while longer. Otherwise, you won't leave here today!" laughed Xiao Zhentian.

"Family Head, this might not be a good idea. The Sunflame Qilin is our Xiao clan's guardian beast throughout the ages," an elder intervened upon hearing Xiao Zhentian's words.

"From today on, our Xiao Family doesn't need any guardian beasts. I, Xiao Zhentian, will protect our Xiao Family on my own." With that, Xiao Zhentian relinquished his domain and turned to the Manor Master of Poison Manor, saying, "Zidie, leave those kids up in the sky to you."

The Manor Master of Poison Manor nodded in agreement, "That's not a problem, but what about the benefits Xiao Family Head promised?"

"You'll certainly get what you deserve," Xiao Zhentian impatiently interrupted.

"That's good, that's good." Zidie smiled lightly, then began to replace the domains of the various Xiao Family strong practitioners. Soon, the entire Martial Arts Arena was engulfed in toxic fog.

"Four elders of the Xiao Family, follow me to exterminate the deity!" Xiao Zhentian waved his hand, leading the charge towards the direction of the Sunflame Qilin.

"Xiao Zhentian wants to personally slay the Sunflame Qilin!" Zhang Po was shocked, not expecting Xiao Zhentian to be so maddened, and even the four elders behind him didn't dare to utter a word.

"I've learned about the Sunflame Qilin in the Holy Mountain. With its strength, the few Xiao Family members shouldn't be able to do much to it," Xiao Yifei was not too worried, instead feeling that the appearance of the Sunflame Qilin was a help to him.

"I think so too; after all, the Sunflame Qilin is an ancient-level holy beast, having lived for thousands of years, longer than several generations of us combined. Without the necessary boldness, it wouldn't dare take on such a challenge," Chang Wei asserted.

"You punks still have the heart to chatter in the sky. Instead of worrying about others, you should be concerned about yourselves. Our Poison Manor's losses today will be compensated with your lives!"

The few were so engrossed in observing the events involving the Xiao Family and the Sunflame Qilin that they completely forgot about the Manor Master and three elders of Poison Manor below. Amid their conversation, a sharp rebuke rose from below; Xiao Yifei lowered his gaze to see the Manor Master of Poison Manor, Xiao Zhentian's Zidie.

Zidie, having at last won the approval of the Xiao Family, gained the opportunity to torment Xiao Yifei independently, and she certainly wouldn't miss this chance. Her jade hand lifted lightly, releasing a flood of toxic gas. The domain of toxic fog began to drift towards the sky where Xiao Yifei and his companions were.

Zhang Po was startled, the rapidly ascending domain of toxic fog was far stronger than anything he had previously encountered on the Martial Arts Platform, where even the clear air was corroded and swallowed, emitting bizarre sounds.

"What should we do?" Chang Wei, knowing that Zidie and the three elders of Poison Manor were all powerful enough to have broken through to the Golden Elixir Stage, was at a loss, asking Xiao Yifei.

"Perfect timing!" Xiao Yifei responded resolutely.

"I'll hold them off; you can take advantage of the opportunity to set up the Hook Jade. If it's just those old hags, three minutes should be no problem."

Since the toxic fog domain was now spreading towards the sky, and Zidie and the elders, despite being boastful, dared not be careless in dealing with opponents of Xiao Yifei's level, their attention was wholly focused on the domain above, causing the toxic fog on the ground to thin.

Xiao Yifei seized the opportunity, forcefully tossing Zhang Po and Chang Wei onto the Martial Arts Arena; the latter plummeted towards the ground like a comet, while Xiao Yifei, relieved of their weight, became more agile and charged into the toxic fog domain with a soft cry, green armor materializing around him once again.

"Xiao Yifei!" Having landed steadily on the arena floor, the two looked up to see Xiao Yifei determinedly charging into the toxic fog; Chang Wei exclaimed in surprise.

"Don't let emotions rule. Xiao Yifei is buying us time!" Zhang Po, although worried about Xiao Yifei, realized that this was not the time for sentimentality, swiftly pulling Chang Wei towards the weakest part of the enclosure.

The toxic fog hadn't yet dissipated; though it had thinned considerably, it still lingered. Even though the two maintained their Qi as protection, they couldn't endure for long against a domain created by those above the Golden Elixir Stage. Whether they lived or died hinged on the coming three minutes!

Once Xiao Yifei entered the toxic fog, he instantly felt immense pressure closing in from all directions. As soon as his armor made contact with the toxic fog, it started to sizzle and corrode at a visibly rapid pace.

"Is it really this terrifying?" Xiao Yifei's armor, formed from his own Qi, possessed incredibly strong restorative properties and impregnable defense, but he hadn't anticipated signs of dispersal the moment it touched the domain.

"Killing you like this would be too easy; given your youth, I'll bring you back to Poison Manor to vent the desire of my sisters, and finally make you into jerky. My poison beasts love fresh meat like yours the most," Zidie's voice rang out from the domain.

Xiao Yifei smirked, replying loudly, "The wares in your Poison Manor are all decrepit old hags; otherwise, I'd really go with you."

"How dare you!" Poison Manor's elder, irritated by Xiao Yifei's words, charged forward intending to teach him a lesson.

A smile danced across Xiao Yifei's lips as he thought, "Just what I wanted!"

In a flash, the three elders flew to Xiao Yifei's position while Zidie maintained the aerial focus on the domain from below. In a domain of the same attribute, teammates of the same attribute enjoy an enhanced effect. Poison Manor's members, though not adept at close combat, were executing a calculated strategy beneath what appeared to be rash action.

"Seems like Poison Manor truly specializes in group battles; even such formidable practitioners don't engage in solo combat." Just as he thought this, the elders had already closed in on Xiao Yifei, their purple robes billowing as they drew an array of sharp weapons; the edges glistened with a verdant sheen, clearly laced with poison.

"So they're trained experts after all!" Xia Yifei gasped in surprise as the elders' attacks nearly overwhelmed him; with countless poison-imbued weapons buzzing menacingly around him, he shifted quickly to block and parry, but one elder seized the chance and sent a gleaming blade slicing towards his abdomen.

Faced with peril, Xiao Yifei barely twisted himself at an odd angle, narrowly escaping the slash.

But just then, a chill crept up on his back, a foreboding sensation welled up within him. Whirling around, he saw in the toxic mist a dazzling sword energy rising, the gleam aggressively targeting Xiao Yifei's brow, locking on to him firmly.
