Chapter 1235: Chapter 1235: Beiyin Sect Elder
"Puh." Xiao Yi spat out a mouthful of blood.
Earlier, he had speculated that Elder Qin was a Late Stage Martial Arts Emperor level expert.
Now it seems, he was right.
The aura of Elder Qin was far above that of the Vice Hall Master and the others.
And now, with just one palm strike, he was severely injured.
Xiao Yi even felt his whole body fall apart, with considerable damage to his internal organs.
Such injuries were already extremely severe.
And at this moment, as he barely stabilized himself, Elder Qin’s figure violently attacked again.
"Qin Zhen, stop!" The Old Master Guu moved in a flash, blocking in front of Xiao Yi.
Bang... Bang...
The Old Master Guu launched a palm strike, clashing with one from Elder Qin.
Elder Qin was forced to retreat several dozen steps, and the Old Master Guu’s face turned slightly red.
"Qin Zhen." The Old Master Guu coldly shouted, "As a prominent Late Stage Saint Emperor Realm expert, attacking a young talent by ambush?"
"Aren’t you shameless?"
Qin Zhen was indeed Elder Qin’s name.
"Hmph." At this time, on the other side, the Fang Family Master snorted coldly, intercepting a group of Qin Family Elders.
"Qin Zhen, Qin Family, you are bold indeed."
"Daring to openly disrupt the Four-direction Contest?"
The entire City Lord’s Mansion, in the instant the three family heads acted, became tense and frenetic.
Almost half of the martial artists present erupted with their momentum, showing vigilance.
It’s the first time such an event has occurred in the history of the Four-direction Contest.
Many martial artists hadn’t even recovered from their shock.
"Enough nonsense." Elder Qin shouted loudly, unexpectedly taking action without further words.
"Damned, do you want a war amongst the three great families?" The Fang Family Master shouted loudly.
"War?" Elder Qin sneered dismissively.
Whoosh... Whoosh... Whoosh...
At the same time, inside the City Lord’s Mansion, all the martial artists moved instantly.
The warriors of Fang and Guu families flashed to stand behind their respective family heads.
The supporting martial artists from the various families and factions also stood beside the two family heads.
The battle on the Martial Arts Arena had long been unable to continue.
The various factions returned to align behind their respective powers.
The same was true for the Qin Family’s side.
The two forces instantly squared off against each other.
Those neutral factions and some independent martial artists gathered to one side, not participating in the confrontation.
"Qin Zhen, what exactly do you want to accomplish?" The Fang Family Master coldly questioned.
"Nothing much." Elder Qin sneered, "I just want the life of this little thief, Xiao Yi."
"Hand over this person, otherwise, my Qin Family will not rest."
The Old Master Guu’s eyes turned cold, "Is it even worth it for your Qin Family to bear such animosity over a young talent?"
"Animosity?" Elder Qin’s face turned instantly murderous.
"Not just animosity, I want this boy to die with no place to be buried."
"My son Qin Zong was infatuated, waited in vain for 20 years, and in the end, it was just a foolish dream? Reduced to a joke in the Four-direction City?"
"If it weren’t for this boy, the great marriage between him and Yun Shang would have long been fulfilled."
"If it weren’t for this boy, my Qin Family and your Guu Family would have been on good terms, how could there be today’s matters?"
"This boy is more cunning than others and somehow turned Qin Hao’s certain victory into defeat?"
"Nonsense." The Old Master Guu coldly shouted.
"Even without Xiao Yi’s interference, had I known Yun Shang was so unwilling, even to the point of severing her own pulse, I would never have let her marry Qin Zong."
"If your Qin Family truly wanted to befriend, why resort to marriage?"
The Fang Family Master stepped forward, coldly stating, "As for the battle between Qin Hao and Xiao Yi on the Martial Arts Arena, all prominent forces witnessed it; where is Xiao Yi cunning?"
"Qin Hao was not as skillful, and a loss is a loss."
"Awakening the Martial Soul a second time may be difficult and powerful, but it doesn’t mean it can overpower all Martial Arts geniuses in the world."
"No need for more nonsense." Elder Qin looked furious.
"I only ask one question: Will you hand over this person or not?"
"If not, then let there be war."
Elder Qin coldly demanded, the words ’let there be war’ heavy and decisive.
"You..." The faces of Fang and Guu Family warriors darkened, but they made no move.
"It seems you are unwilling." Elder Qin’s cold words seemed to squeeze out from between his teeth.
"Then let there be war."
As soon as the words fell, Elder Qin instantly launched another savage attack at Xiao Yi.
"Hmph, do you really believe our Guu and Fang Families fear your Qin Family?" The Old Master Guu coldly retorted, launching a palm strike.
The two instantly engaged in combat.
"Qin Zhen, you’ve gone too far." The Fang Family Master also joined the fray immediately.
And with the actions of the three family heads, the warriors of the two forces also began their battle at once.
The vast City Lord’s Mansion instantly descended into chaos.
Previously, it was just a melee of young talents; now, it had become a confrontation among the top martial artists in the Four-direction Domain.
On the other side, at the Eight Palaces Spectator Seating, the eight Vice Hall Masters frowned.
All the forces just moved, including the neutral ones.
But only on their Eight Palaces Spectator Seating, there was no action.
The eight Vice Hall Masters exchanged glances, then shook their heads.
"Retreat." The Vice Hall Master of Wind Shattering Hall said one word.
The other seven nodded, their figures flashed, withdrawing from the chaos.
The Ancient Eight Halls never involve themselves in the disputes of other forces; this is an iron rule.
As for Xiao Yi, the truth is, ever since Xiao Yi assisted Guu Yunshang, he has already involved himself in the disputes of the three great families.
Therefore, even the eight Vice Hall Masters couldn’t help Xiao Yi.
This was also why yesterday, when Elder Qin himself moved against Xiao Yi, the Vice Hall Master of Wind Shattering Hall, upon arriving, could only aid as an individual gesture.
The retreat of the eight Vice Hall Masters completely turned the entire City Lord’s Mansion plaza into a place of chaos and unrest.
Elder Qin, facing both Fang Family Master and Old Master Guu, engaged in combat.
The Qin Family experts fought against the experts from Fang and Guu families.
The supporting forces on both sides were also in a melee.
"Young Master Xiao Yi, are you alright?" At this time, Fang Muxue approached Xiao Yi, asking worriedly.
Xiao Yi shook his head, "I’m not dead yet. I’ll stabilize my injuries for a while, and then I’ll join the fight."
Xiao Yi took a deep breath, forcibly stabilizing his internal injuries.
A full-force palm strike from a Late Stage Martial Arts Emperor level expert was unimaginably powerful.
However, just as Xiao Yi barely began to stabilize his injuries, suddenly strong auras surged from outside the City Lord’s Mansion.
Whoosh... Whoosh... Whoosh...
Among them, several figures moved at astonishing speed, instantly heading toward the Fang Family Master and Old Master Guu.
"Not good." The faces of the two changed instantly.
Before they could react, they were struck by a thunderous blow to the back.
"Puh... Puh..." Each spat a mouthful of blood, instantly forced back over a dozen steps.
Three unfamiliar figures stood beside Elder Qin, grinning maliciously.
"Who are you..." The Fang Family Master looked at the arrivals in shock.
Suddenly, the Fang Family Master stared intently at one of them, his face changing dramatically, "It’s you, the Sixth Elder of Beiyin Sect."
Having spoken, the Fang Family Master coldly looked at Elder Qin, "Qin Zhen, you have significant nerve to collude with external forces?"
"Hmph, you’re simply overestimating yourselves." Elder Qin sneered, "Kill that boy for me."
Elder Qin’s sinister gaze fixed on Xiao Yi.
Whoosh... Whoosh... Whoosh...
From outside the City Lord’s Mansion, several powerful figures emitting Saint Emperor Realm auras swiftly approached, heading straight for Xiao Yi.
"Be careful." Xiao Yi instantly reacted, pushing Fang Muxue away with a palm strike.
"Cold Ice Three Palm." Xiao Yi had to endure the injuries forcibly, instantly unleashing his domain and the Cold Ice Three Palm.
The blood mist filled the sky, enveloping the air instantly.
