Jiang Chen's words were heard by everyone in the square, and no one noticed anything amiss, primarily because Jiang Chen's tone was filled with murderous intent.

However, as the person involved, Lin Tianya was momentarily stunned.

He listened very clearly, although Jiang Chen's tone was still unfriendly, he indeed mentioned "knocking off the stage." Suddenly, a strange emotion surged in Lin Tianya's heart.

His own Sect Master wanted him dead, and he knew the reason—it was because he refused to be corrupt like them, focusing only on his cultivation. Yet, to his surprise, prepared to die for his wife and child, the opponent might just spare him. This...

"Lin Tianya, meet your end!" Yan Hu bellowed, his figure darted towards Lin Tianya.

Lin Tianya's face changed; Yan Hu's murderous aura was genuine, and he dared not take it lightly. He activated all his inner Qi, and his face was solemn as he pushed forward with both palms.

"The Young Master is sparing you, I hope you appreciate this grace!" A barely discernible voice reached Lin Tianya's ears.

Lin Tianya's expression shifted slightly. Then, a powerful force transmitted from his palm—Yan Hu's attack had arrived!

Bang!

A dull sound erupted as Yan Hu's fists struck Lin Tianya's palms.

Buzz!

An extremely powerful Qi Force dispersed from between their hands and fists.

The Innate Realm powerhouses from the two major Sects quickly pulled the other disciples back. The powerful Qi Force made everyone feel suffocated.

For a moment, the east and south sides of the arena emptied out, while Jiang Chen and others in the north side did not retreat. To the west, only those above Semi Innate remained, and all the people from Unchanging Valley stayed put.

Puh!

Lin Tianya spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning deathly pale. His body was flung backwards.

As he flew through the air, a grateful expression appeared in Lin Tianya's eyes; he looked at Yan Hu, then strained to turn his head to look at Jiang Chen, and closed his eyes, losing consciousness while still airborne.

Kerplunk!

Lin Tianya crashed heavily at the feet of You Wujiang and others from Youming Hall, and no one from Youming Hall moved to catch him!

"Elder, do you recognize those people?" Jiang Chen looked disdainfully at You Wujiang and others, his gaze lingered on Miss Wu and others for a moment—he had already discerned that Miss Wu and others were not on the same side as Youming Hall.

"They are from Unchanging Valley!"

Mo Tianze spoke softly, "Unchanging Valley is a top-tier Sect. They have very few people, but all are very strong, outstanding among their peers. Moreover, Unchanging Valley has two Valley Masters, both at Semi Venerable Venerable Realm strength, and they once exterminated three major top-tier Sects within three days by slaying five Semi Venerables!"

"That strong?!" Jiang Chen exclaimed, a thought flickering through his mind—wondering who would be stronger if he encountered them?

"People from Unchanging Valley usually don't involve themselves in the affairs of the Martial Dao World. Why they have suddenly emerged to target us this time, we are also unclear." Mo Tianze added.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Suddenly, a phantom-like figure abruptly appeared in the square, glanced over everyone, and dashed towards Jiang Chen at high speed.

Lin Jiuxiao and others' expressions changed, and they all turned to look at the figure. When the people from Unchanging Valley saw that person, their expressions changed dramatically.

"One of us," Jiang Chen spoke softly.

Lin Jiuxiao and the others exchanged glances, their eyes revealing a uniform expression of shock. From each other's gaze, they could tell that none of them could discern the person's true strength, which reminded them of Yan Hu's capabilities and filled them with an incomparable shock.

Another Semi Venerable Venerable Realm powerhouse, how many powerful individuals does Mr. Jiang have by his side!

"Mr. Jiang, apologies, I am late!" The figure rushed to Jiang Chen's side, cupped his fists, and bowed deeply.

Jiang Chen gently waved his hand: "Elder Wu, it's alright."

The person was indeed Wu Qianxun. After the farewell banquet ended, Wu Qianxun followed Tang Chengye home to handle some affairs before finally hurrying to meet with Jiang Chen at the Chixiao Sect.

The people from Unchanging Valley saw Wu Qianxun paying respect to Jiang Chen and their expressions changed drastically. Miss Wu and Elder Ming exchanged glances, revealing a bitter smile in their eyes.

After Wu Qianxun finished his salute, he glanced at the people from Unchanging Valley and asked Jiang Chen, puzzled, "Mr. Jiang, what are these people doing here?"

"They are helping Youming Hall fight against Chixiao Sect, and their people injured my dad!" Jiang Chen spoke in a low voice.

Wu Qianxun instantly froze, hastily turned his head and glanced over.

When he saw Jiang Minglong in the chair, his face stiffened, but when he saw a corpse on the ground, Wu Qianxun's eyes showed a hint of panic, and he cursed angrily, "Bastards! A bunch of bastards!"

Jiang Chen looked at Wu Qianxun strangely, knowing that Wu Qianxun was wholeheartedly loyal to him, but such a reaction seemed somewhat illogical.

"Mr. Jiang, they... they are my clansmen!" Wu Qianxun said, his face full of shame as he bowed deeply to Jiang Chen and whispered an explanation.

Jiang Chen was suddenly stunned.

Damn! Are we all in this together?

Frowning, Jiang Chen thought of Duan Mulei's death and turned to Mo Tianze, "Advisor, who killed Duan Mulei?"

"Duan Shizhi was killed by an elder of Youming Hall, and Ming Long avenged him!" Mo Tianze spoke softly, turning to glance at Wu Qianxun.

Although Lin Jiuxiao and the others were powerful and keenly observant, they would not casually eavesdrop on Jiang Chen and Wu Qianxun's conversation. Upon learning that Wu Qianxun was one of Jiang Chen's people, they turned to look at the arena, and they did not hear Wu Qianxun's last explanation because it was indeed very soft.

Only Mo Tianze, standing beside Jiang Chen, heard Wu Qianxun's words and gave Wu Qianxun a queer look.

"That's good!" Jiang Chen quietly breathed a sigh of relief and gave Wu Qianxun a sharp look.

Wu Qianxun smiled sheepishly, not knowing what to say; although the corpse wasn't killed by his clansmen, it was indeed his people who had injured Jiang Chen's father!

On the stage, after Yan Hu knocked down Lin Tianya, he coldly looked at You Wujiang: "Next!"

"The three middle-aged matches are over. You should step down now!" You Wujiang spoke with a steely face.

Yan Hu slightly frowned, just about to speak again, when Jiang Chen's shout came; "Hu Zi, come down."

Giving You Wujiang a cold glare, Yan Hu leapt to Jiang Chen's side.

"Qiangqiang, you're up!" Jiang Chen spoke softly.

"Alright!" Lou Qiangqiang excitedly responded and leapt onto the arena, eagerly looking at the people from Youming Hall: "Come on, come on, who wants to die, hurry up and get up here, let me give you a good beating!"

You Wujiang's expression darkened, glaring coldly at Lou Qiangqiang.

Lou Qiangqiang's words, implying that the people from Youming Hall were easy to deal with, were an extreme insult to Youming Hall!
