Hearing Zhou He's domineering and ruthless words, everyone fell silent. Even the middle-aged man at the Third Layer of the Meridian Passage Realm could only look at him with an extremely ugly expression, unable to retort.

Because they all understood that in the Martial Arts World, strength determines everything, and the strong can control the life and death of the weak.

Zhou He possessed a Fifth Layer Meridian Passage Realm cultivation, and even in the middle stage of the Meridian Passage Realm, he was considered a true expert, far beyond what these people in the early stage of the Meridian Passage Realm could compare to.

It could be said that even if these people joined forces, they would not be able to match Zhou He.

Therefore, at this moment, traces of despair appeared on everyone's faces. They could neither escape nor fight; they were likely doomed to die today.

"Who... who exactly destroyed the Infinite Jade Disc? Quickly step forward willingly, don't drag us down."

"Exactly, dare to act and dare to take responsibility, why make us all die together?"

...

After a brief silence, many people hurriedly spoke up.

They exchanged suspicious glances with each other, as if in their eyes, anyone around could be the culprit responsible for the destruction of the Infinite Jade Disc.

Or rather, they preferred to believe that the culprit was one of these people, because that way they at least had a slim chance of survival.

Otherwise, if there was no so-called culprit, they would have no hope of surviving.

Hearing the surrounding people's words, even the curses, Wang Ruoxie's expression remained extremely calm. Naturally, he was the chief culprit responsible for the destruction of the Infinite Jade Disc.

Because while cultivating, a drop of Blood God Essence Blood mutated and devoured the special power contained in the Infinite Jade Disc made of Celestial Net Jade, transforming into a blood-colored vortex the size of an infant's fist.

This led to the complete shattering of the Infinite Jade Disc, leaving only the ground covered in powder.

Therefore, he didn't care about the curses of those around him because, after all, it was indeed caused by him.

Thinking of this, Wang Ruoxie lifted his steps, walked out of the crowd, looked at Zhou He, whose face was full of coldness, and slowly said, "I am the one responsible for the destruction of the Infinite Jade Disc."

As Wang Ruoxie's words fell, everyone was slightly stunned, but then they all breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the culprit had stepped forward voluntarily, and they didn't have to die.

"Junior Brother, are you crazy?"

Xueyao's eyes were filled with urgency as she looked at Wang Ruoxie. She never expected that Wang Ruoxie would step forward at this moment.

Although she knew that Wang Ruoxie could repel Liu Chen, who was at the First Layer of the Meridian Passage Realm, with a single sword strike when he was at the Ninth Layer of the Innate Realm, and now he had a First Layer Meridian Passage Realm cultivation, his strength should far exceed an ordinary First Layer of the Meridian Passage Realm, even so, Wang Ruoxie absolutely could not contend with so many at the Meridian Passage Realm.

Moreover, these dozen experts from the Zhou Family were extremely strong and might be considered top-notch among their peers.

Not to mention, Zhou He alone, with his Fifth Layer Meridian Passage Realm cultivation, was an existence far beyond what Wang Ruoxie could contend with.

"Senior Sister, don't worry, I'll be fine."

Wang Ruoxie smiled at Xueyao and spoke.

After speaking, he turned his gaze to Zhou He and said, "Since I've stepped forward, then can they leave?"

He said this not because he's noble, but because this incident was indeed caused by him, so there's no need for these tens of thousands of people to die.

Besides, although he himself feared not Zhou He and others, if a fight broke out, Xueyao would definitely be in great danger.

If Ruo Xueyao could leave with the others, he would have no worries, and even if unable to contend with Zhou He and the other dozen Zhou Family experts, he would certainly be able to ensure his escape unscathed.

"Others can leave, but your Senior Sister must stay."

Zhou He looked at Wang Ruoxie coldly and spoke slowly.

Upon hearing Zhou He's words, the surrounding crowd quickly flashed and rushed madly toward the outside of the city, fearing they might escape too slowly and Zhou He would change his mind.

Although many felt some gratitude towards Wang Ruoxie for stepping forward, nothing was more important than their own lives, so without any hesitation, they all left quickly.

In just a few breaths, of the tens of thousands in the square, only Zhou He and a dozen Zhou Family members, along with Wang Ruoxie and Xueyao, remained.

Of course, there were also those corpses on the ground with blood that had not yet dried, the thick scent of blood permeating the space.

"Kid, although I don't know why you were able to destroy the Infinite Jade Disc, since you dared to step forward, you count as a real man, so I will let you have an intact corpse."

Zhou He looked at Wang Ruoxie and said indifferently.

Pausing, he continued, "But the Infinite Jade Disc is the treasure of Black Tortoise City. Your mere life is nothing compared to it, so even if I kill you, it doesn't make up for it."

Finishing his words, he glanced at Xueyao with a strange look and said, "Your Senior Sister not only has an outstanding appearance but also excellent aptitude, she could be considered a good Tripod Furnace, and could somewhat compensate my Zhou Family's losses."

Upon hearing this, Xueyao's face turned deathly pale; she understood well the meaning of becoming a Tripod Furnace.

In other words, once she became a Tripod Furnace, she would become a human-shaped pill. The Zhou Family would continually nurture her, even at the cost of a large amount of resources, to rapidly elevate her cultivation.

Then, once her cultivation reached a certain level, they would take away all her cultivation, along with her purity, ultimately leading to an extremely tragic end.

"So, the so-called three major families of Black Tortoise City are just some shameless scoundrels."

Seeing Xueyao's sorrowful expression, Wang Ruoxie's eyes flickered with a cold glint. He then sneered coldly at Zhou He.

Originally, he had intended to present some Ancient Pill Formulas as compensation for destroying the Infinite Jade Disc.

Although the Infinite Jade Disc was an extremely rare treasure, it was ultimately made of Earth Tier Celestial Net Jade, and he only needed to present a Sixth Grade Pill Formula to far exceed its value.

Now, Zhou He not only wanted to kill him but also intended to make Xueyao a Tripod Furnace, so of course, he wouldn't do so anymore.

"Insolent, being chosen as a Tripod Furnace for a prodigy of the Zhou Family is her utmost honor."

Zhou He coldly shouted at Wang Ruoxie, saying, "As for you, I originally planned to give you a dignified death, but since you don't appreciate it, I will then turn you into powder, just like that Infinite Jade Disc, leaving no remains."

"You aren't qualified enough to kill me."

Wang Ruoxie smiled faintly, replying.

With his current strength, utilizing that special Secret Technique, he could completely annihilate Zhou He and the others in a short time.

"Senior Sister, you leave first, and I'll join you after dealing with these people."

Turning his head, Wang Ruoxie said to Xueyao.

Leaving Xueyao here would only distract him, preventing him from fully confronting Zhou He and the others.

"None of you will leave today."

Zhou He sneered.
