Seeing Lin Xiao retreat a few steps, he didn't press his advantage and simply retreated as well.

Then, with a proud expression, he shouted loudly, "I, Xiao Yuntian, admit defeat!"

After saying that, he didn't forget to look at Lin Xiao with a smug expression.

He looked like a smug little child.

'Hey! I saw through your trick. Trying to lure me in? No way!'

Those watching from the outside were all stunned to see Xiao Yuntian looking smug even after admitting defeat.

"Huh? What's going on? Even though the Xiao family members have admitted defeat, they still look so smug. If they hadn't said anything, I would have thought they were the champions of this Hundred Sects Tournament!"

"Hmph! The Xiao family is becoming more and more shameless. Their own disciple lost, and even admitted defeat, yet they are so proud of themselves. Anyone who doesn't know the situation would think that they won."

“... ... ..."

Inside the Great Zhou Imperial Palace, the Ye family members who had previously left reappeared.

With somber expressions, they stared at the enormous light screen before them alongside the Great Zhou Emperor.

"Esteemed seniors, as you have surely seen, the Heavenly Evolution Holy Land has offended not only your Ye family, but also the Xiao family and other forces. If you were to join forces with our Great Zhou Dynasty, we would surely be able to destroy the Heavenly Evolution Holy Land."

"What do you seniors think?"

The Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty showed the Ye family a comprehensive analysis of the current situation.

The Ye family elders looked at the Great Zhou Emperor who had come to them seeking cooperation and couldn't help but sneer.

"Since Your Majesty wishes to unite with us to destroy the Heavenly Evolution Holy Land, do you have a detailed plan?"

"certainly!"

"Soon, you will see how Lin Xiao dies!"

As the Emperor of Great Zhou spoke, he revealed a strange and cold smile.
