"It's over, what is happening, could the rumors be true, is this a trap, are we going to die here today?"

Zhou Xinyu couldn't help but exclaim softly.

Watching the Martial Arts Tournament devolve into such a brutal scene.

A bit lost and at wit's end.

"How dare they do this!"

Zhou Fenghuang, as the heavenly pride of the Zhou Family.

Appearing so weak in front of these big figures.

Essentially having no role to play.

"Tang Qiankun, You Ming, why must you act this way, the Eight Great Martial Arts Families, living in harmony, wouldn't that be better?"

A flash of blue light struck Niu Lieyan, Ruan Qingqiu, Hua Yunyi, and Zhou Qilin who were engulfed in flames.

Instantly, the flames dissipated.

The four genius martial artists who were severely injured by the burning.

Were slowly recovering under the blue light.

Among the crowd of martial artists in the Hua Family's area.

Walked out a martial artist.

Whose distorted appearance, originally of a middle-aged man.

Transformed into a white-haired old man.

With his hair tied up in a bun, secured with a wooden hairpin.

Exuding an aura of celestial immortality.

And, the old man's voice was like rolling thunder, booming and spreading, echoing throughout Medicine King Valley.

"Pay respects to the Ancestor!"

Hua Yunyi directly knelt down.

"Hua Family Ancestor, Hua Qingchi!"

The crowd of martial artists gazed in shock at the white-haired elder.

The Hua Family members also knelt on the ground.

"Old fellow, you've been hiding among the Hua Family's juniors just for this moment?"

Tang Qiankun chuckled lightly.

As if aware of the Hua Family Ancestor's whereabouts all along.

...

Meanwhile, inside the central hall of the gourd-shaped building in Medicine King Valley.

Many elders and pill masters sat cross-legged within, You Ming seated at the head.

The atmosphere in the hall was extremely grave.

"Valley Master, have you really decided on this? This matter defies the heavens and the principles of righteousness!"

A hot-tempered elder in a black robe exclaimed loudly.

"If successful, our Medicine King Valley will surely become enormously powerful, entering the inner sect world of the Ancient Martial World, it is not impossible!"

A voluptuous woman beside him sneered coldly.

"You're thinking too simply, do you believe this matter is without risks? Not to mention the retaliation of other families, if the nation learns of this and sends strong Divine Guards, how could we withstand that."

"Moreover, let's say, even if Medicine King Valley isn't afraid of these forces, what about the Invincible War God Ye Jiujie?"

"There are Thousand-year-old Medicines within the valley, which we have refined, now preparing to activate the Grand Array within the valley, using these martial artists as sacrifices to refine a great elixir, if discovered, Medicine King Valley is doomed!"

The black-robed elder angrily criticised.

Analyzing the current situation in its entirety.

"Ye Jiujie, hasn't he already been buried at the Sino-Russian Border? A dead man has you this scared?"

The voluptuous woman Mian Zhu spoke disdainfully.

"Humph! I've recently received word that Ye Qingfeng not only hasn't died but has become even more invincible, not even the Russian Emperor dares to touch him."

"Moreover, with his flying sword, he turned the streets of Jiangnan City and Mingzhu City into rivers of heads and seas of blood."

The black-robed elder, being more attuned to events in the Mortal World.

Had heard some subtle news.

"If you're so timid, just stay inside the main hall."

The voluptuous woman sneered.

"You...."

The black-robed elder was flushed with anger.

"Alright, Old Five, Mian Zhu. Calm down, both of you."

The elder seated at the head, one with a venerable appearance, spoke.

He was the Great Elder of Medicine King Valley, with You Ming in seclusion, he held the highest rank and power.

Upon hearing these words, both the Fifth Elder and Mian Zhu could only grumble and fall silent.

"This matter, the outcome is already set, even if we don't want to act, the Tang Family will force us to move."

The Great Elder shook his head with a sigh.

As a young pill master scoffed disdainfully.

Suddenly from outside came a thunderous voice: "Hua Qingchi has come to pay a visit!"

"Crack!"

All the glass around the hall shattered, everyone inside was stunned, at a loss.

After a long while.

A number of elders in Medicine King Valley exclaimed: "Hua Family Ancestor Hua Qingchi, why has he also come, this is serious trouble."

"Remain calm, with the Tang Family Master here, once the Valley Master comes out of seclusion, everything can be suppressed!"

The Great Elder appeased the crowd.

At this moment, within the central hall of Medicine King Valley, many elders and pill masters had already leaped out, rapidly heading towards the arena.

"Hua Qingchi, what do you intend to do?"

The black-robed elder rushed at the front, shouting angrily upon arrival.

"Your Medicine King Valley and the Tang Family are doing unspeakable deeds, and you still ask what I intend to do?"

The aura of the Hua Family Ancestor was not inferior to Tang Qiankun.

Yet, at this moment, he was still frowning.

"Qi Ming, it is improper to be disrespectful before a War Emperor Warrior."

The Great Elder reprimanded lightly, then cupped his hand and said: "Ancestor Hua, what has invoked your anger today, are you blaming Medicine King Valley?"

"Medicine King Valley and the Tang Family are manipulating the Martial Arts Tournament, ignoring martial arts rules, intending to exterminate the martial arts geniuses of the Eight Great Families, their intentions are sinister!"

Hua Qingchi's eyes glowed with a cyan light.

Staring at the people of Medicine King Valley, murderous intent flickered in his gaze.

"My Medicine King Valley, we've never done such things, this has nothing to do with Medicine King Valley."

The Great Elder's expression remained unchanged, speaking slowly.

Disassociating all matters cleanly.

He just wanted to first stabilize Huai Qingchi, plotting slowly.

Conveniently buying time for the Valley Master.

The Valley Master had been in seclusion, unknown how long until he would exit.

"Medicine King Valley and Hua Family, both being medical families, healing the world, since you Medicine King Valley want to stall for time, then I'll have to eliminate you first."

The Hua Family Ancestor Hua Qingchi, one moment as a benign elder.

The next moment, transformed into a lethal butcher.

"Everyone, this arena is the sacrificial altar for Medicine King Valley's Elixir Array! Medicine King Valley intends to refine a great elixir, and you all are the sacrificial offerings for this elixir!"

Hua Qingchi saw through Medicine King Valley's Elixir Array at a glance.

"What, no wonder, no wonder this time's Martial Arts Tournament rewards were so rich, inciting us to slaughter each other, becoming so brutal."

"The Spirit Phoenix Body, the Tang Family cultivating this spiritual body, it's all a conspiracy."

"We cannot be taken without a fight, kill the Tang Family, obliterate Medicine King Valley!"

Hua Qingchi's words caused the martial artists to feel terrified, afraid, shocked, scared, and horrified.

Ultimately evolving into madness and bloodlust.

Murderous intent soaring to the sky.

Who would've thought.

This time, their participation in the Martial Arts Tournament was turning them into sacrificial offerings.

How could they endure this.

Kill!

Only by fighting against the Tang Family and Medicine King Valley could they survive.

"Hua Qingchi, is this necessary? Is it not somewhat cruel to let them die in fear?"

Tang Qiankun, in his red robe, gave an evil laugh.

He no longer bore the demeanor of the Tang Family Patriarch.

Looking more like a bloodthirsty demon.

"Tang Qiankun, no more words, are you still trying to stall for time to let the grand array successfully activate?"

Hua Qingchi struck with a palm directly towards Tang Qiankun.

This palm mobilized the power of Heaven and Earth and carried a boundless and vigorous life force.

In an instant, the colors of the clouds shifted.

The cloud layer was shattered.
