"Hey kid, stop!"

An old man suddenly appeared in front of Lin Xiao and blocked his fatal blow.

This sudden scene surprised not only Lin Xiao.

Even those outside were astonished by what they saw, clearly not expecting anyone to rush into the arena to stop the fight.

Instantly, everyone was furious.

"Are you kidding me? Whose old man is this? How dare he disrupt the Hundred Sects Tournament? Does he look down on the other forces present?"

"This looks like the Xiao family's patriarch. It seems the Xiao family can't stand to lose. The other side didn't admit defeat, and this patriarch actually rushed in to save them. Who wins and who loses here? Could it be the Xiao family who won?"

"Hmph! Gentlemen, the Xiao family is acting like scoundrels. I think any forces that still have business dealings with the Xiao family should stop trading, or you will be ripped off by the Xiao family."

“... ... ..."

In the Great Zhou Imperial Palace,

The Emperor of Great Zhou, who had originally intended to help Xiao Ruofeng, frowned when he saw that someone else had acted even faster than him.

"Who is this old man? He actually managed to break the formation set up by our Great Zhou Dynasty. This person is no ordinary person!"

The Emperor of Great Zhou murmured.

"Father, this is an ancestor of the Xiao family. It is said that he was the most outstanding array master in the Xiao family back then, and his strength was famous throughout the Tiannan Dao Domain."

Zhou Chen quickly revealed the information about the old man inside, which made the Emperor of Great Zhou frown even more.

"Tsk! What a nuisance! Xiao Ruofeng hasn't even admitted defeat, yet he makes such a rash move. How am I supposed to explain this?"

The Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was very dissatisfied with the Xiao family's swift and decisive, unannounced style of doing things.

"Never mind, I'll explain later when I go out."

After thinking for a while, the Emperor of Great Zhou did not step forward, but chose to continue to observe.

... ... ...

In the arena space at this moment.

Lin Xiao smiled as he looked at the old man who appeared in front of him, who was tightly gripping the evil spirit sword in his hand.

“Senior of the Xiao family, my battle with Brother Xiao is not over yet. It would be inappropriate for you to force your way in and disrupt our fight.”

Lin Xiao forcefully pulled the evil spirit sword back.

The old man from the Xiao family had his hand cut by the evil spirit sword, and he immediately felt a significant loss of the little life force he had left. His brows furrowed, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

'What an evil sword... ...It must have drained at least a few years of life force.' The old man from the Xiao family secretly estimated the life force that had just been lost.

He then snorted coldly and spoke.

“Young Master Lin, you and Ruofeng did not sign a life-or-death contract, so you should not kill him. You were just having a duel, and you stopped when you were about to kill him. Now you have such a strong desire to kill him, so you are the one who violated the rules of the competition first!”

The old man from the Xiao family cast a cold gaze at Lin Xiao.

Just as he was about to teach Lin Xiao a lesson.

Two figures appeared in front of Lin Xiao.

"Old man Xiao, it's not right for you to bully the weak like this."

"That's right, Old Man Xiao, you're already so old, if you still want to stretch your muscles, you should at least find someone of similar strength. How about we go out and have a match?"

Two figures appeared: one was an ancestor with the Saint King realm, and the other was Lin Xiao's master.

Many people may not recognize this Saint King realm ancestor, but among the older generation of experts present, everyone knew Wan Jian Shan.

"Hiss! It's actually the Sword Saint who's made a move! Great, that old man Xiao is in for trouble now!"

"Tsk! The Xiao family is shameless. They're all so old, and they want to get their old bones moving, but instead of finding someone of equal strength, they go and find a junior? They've really lost face!"

"... ... ..."

At this moment, both sides were locked in a stalemate in the arena, neither willing to give way.

Neither of them was willing to back down first.

This caused the Great Zhou Emperor, who had originally only wanted to watch the show from the sidelines, to sigh helplessly.

He would love for the two forces to clash directly and erupt into a major battle here.

"Alas! It seems I still have to make a move!" As soon as the Emperor of Great Zhou finished speaking, his majestic figure appeared in the arena.

"Gentlemen, would you mind listening to me?"

With the intervention of the Great Zhou Emperor, the tension between the Heavenly Evolution Holy Land and the Xiao family subsided considerably.

"The two seniors from the Heavenly Evolution Holy Land and the seniors from the Xiao family are right. These two young men did not sign a life-or-death contract before the competition began, so this is just an ordinary contest. We just need to determine a winner."

"Now that Xiao Ruofeng is powerless to fight back, this move can be considered a victory for Lin Xiao of the Heavenly Evolution Holy Land!"

"What do you all think of my arrangement?"

"Moreover, Xiao Ruofeng and Lin Xiao are both young prodigies and top figures in the future of our Tiannan Dao Domain. Losing either of them would be a loss to the Tiannan Dao Domain."

As the Emperor of Great Zhou spoke, the elder of the Xiao family nodded slightly.

"The host of this Hundred Sects Conference is your Great Zhou Dynasty. My Xiao family is giving face to the Great Zhou Dynasty. My Xiao family has lost this round."

The Great Zhou Emperor was very satisfied, and then looked at the group from the Heavenly Evolution Holy Land.

However, their expressions differed from those of the Xiao family.

Both Wan Jianshan and that Holy King Ancestor had gloomy expressions.

They already knew that the Great Zhou Dynasty wanted to attack Lin Xiao, and in public no less, which was blatant disregard for their Heavenly Evolution Holy Land.

Now he acts like nothing happened and tries to be a peacemaker. How can people not be angry?
