Meanwhile, in another meeting room, Qin Suifeng also received the message. She took out the Dragon Group jade slip, glanced at it, and also revealed a cold smile.

"It seems the meeting is over."

"The team leader summons all members of the Dragon Team."

"Target: Arrest Zhou Xuantian!"

Lin Jinglong's eyebrows twitched.

Is this the start of the liquidation process?

He couldn't help but marvel at how efficient the Elders' Council was. Could they really kill Zhou Xuantian in the Elders' Council?

Just then.

Everyone within the council chamber.

They all inexplicably sensed a powerful pressure.

"That Martial Emperor-level formation has actually been activated?"

Lin Jinglong was slightly surprised.

What happened had clearly exceeded his previous estimates, and he also anticipated that Zhou Xuantian was going to be in big trouble!

Sure enough, it was around this time.

Zhou Xuantian had already left the council hall.

They had just run to the square outside.

Then Long Qi's warning voice came from behind.

"If you don't go out, you can still have a dignified ending. If you go out, that's disobeying orders. If your men see you being caught, you'll lose face!"

"Long Qi, you're using this to settle personal scores!"

"You're the one who's truly settling personal scores!"

Long Qi burst into laughter.

He suddenly rushed forward and came behind Zhou Xuantian. He had already given the other party the opportunity, but it seemed that the other party did not know how to cherish it.

So he didn't intend to give Zhou Xuantian any more face and instead threw a punch at him.

In the square and inside the council chamber.

Many people were alarmed!

The previous battle had already astonished them, but when they looked over again, they were horrified to find that Long Qi was actually fighting with Zhou Xuantian!

And Zhou Xuantian was completely powerless to fight back!

At this moment, Qin Suifeng led a large number of Dragon Group members to the square and surrounded Zhou Xuantian.

Lin Jinglong watched from behind.

All that could be heard was Qin Suifeng's cold and arrogant voice.

"The former Third Elder, Zhou Xuantian, betrayed the Elders' Council and defied the Council's order to accept an investigation, openly committing violence against the Seventh Elder!"

"Dragon Group, ordered to make arrest!"

"Unauthorized personnel are strictly prohibited from interfering!"

Inside the council of elders, there was also a group of guards under Zhou Xuantian's command. Upon seeing this scene, they instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

In less than half an hour.

Zhou Xuantian became the former Third Elder?

Furthermore, Zhou Xuantian should be arrested for investigation!

The situation is changing far too fast!

Zhou Xuantian's eyes were bloodshot with rage as he was relentlessly punched by Long Qi, tearing his clean clothes to shreds. His injuries were even more severe than when he fought Lin Jinglong.

It wasn't that he was powerless to fight back.

If it really came down to a fight to the death with Long Qi, he might not necessarily lose, but the key issue is that this great formation is currently suppressing him.

His internal energy seemed to have solidified.

Completely powerless to fight back!

"You actually intend to exterminate us all!"

Zhou Xuantian let out a furious roar of resentment.

Meanwhile, in the upper-level meeting room of the council chamber.

The voice also reached them, but the elders present remained silent, each ignoring it.

Only Zhong Lixiu looked delighted.

He had been waiting for this day for a long time.

"Fourth brother, after all, we've been comrades for many years. It's fine to arrest him for investigation, but don't take his life. Put away your magic array."

"I understand."

Faced with Wei Xia's persuasion, Zhong Lixiu nodded.

Now that things have come to this, Zhou Xuantian can no longer be considered his enemy. It would be more appropriate to spare his life and uncover his and the secrets of the hidden families.

Just then, another roar came from outside the window.

"Zhong Lixiu!"

"I will fight you to the death!"

"If you've got the guts, break the magic circle and we'll have a one-on-one fight!"

"I refuse to accept this! I'd rather die than accept this!"

"..."

An enraged Zhou Xuantian roared loudly outside the window.

Wei Xia twitched his lips, raised his hand and waved towards the window. The window moved without wind and closed instantly, blocking out all noise from inside and outside.

"Now let's talk about something else."

"As suggested by the Grand Elder, the World Martial Arts Tournament will be held in a month, inviting the Federation of Superpowers to participate, along with the independent cultivators of our Great Xia. The aim is to use the name of the Martial Arts Tournament to continue to weaken the foundation of the Hidden World Alliance."

Apart from Zhong Lixiu, the other elders looked at each other in bewilderment.

"The World Martial Arts Tournament? This tournament has been held for more than twenty sessions. Although it is officially organized, the reclusive families never participate."

“This time is different. The Grand Elder is willing to offer Qingxu Cave Heaven as a reward. It is one of the seventy-two blessed lands. Even Martial Emperors would covet this reward. Do you think the hidden families will miss this opportunity?”

Upon hearing this, many elders stood up abruptly.

They stared at Wei Xia in horror.

"The Elder Council only controls four blessed lands, which are the foundation of the Great Xia Dynasty. The Grand Elder actually wants to use them as prizes for the Martial Arts Tournament?"

Wei Xia kept silent, letting them digest this astonishing news.

On the other side...

Lin Jinglong watched helplessly as Zhou Xuantian was arrested.

With his face bruised and swollen, Zhou Xuantian was escorted by the Dragon Group members. His hands were already clad in cold iron handcuffs, but he still struggled incessantly.

"I refuse to accept this!"

Zhou Xuantian struggled and roared.

As he passed by Lin Jinglong.

His fierce gaze glared at me again.

"It's all because of you!"

"Lin Jinglong, if they hadn't used you as a pretext to cause trouble, I wouldn't have ended up like this!"
