Inside the arena.

The Blood Demon's figure was gradually shrinking, and countless strange essences of blood were being evaporated under the scorching flames.

If these strange essences were left untreated, each drop would soon transform into a blood demon.

"Senior Black!" Lin Xiao cried out in his heart as he watched the blood drain away.

"alright!"

The Black Demon Lord acted so quickly that no one outside could see it, not even the two peeping demons hiding in the void.

"Hey kid, watch out, someone's coming."

"What I just took away was the most essential part of this blood demon, so you don't need to worry!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Black Demon Lord's voice vanished without a trace.

The next second.

A towering figure appeared in the arena space.

"Stop it, kid!"

The figure spoke with an awe-inspiring divine power, causing Lin Xiao to retract the Emperor Flowing Heart Flame from his hand into his body.

"Senior, what do you mean by this?" Lin Xiao asked with a serious expression.

"Kid, the fight is over. You won. This kid has already admitted defeat. Besides, you didn't sign a life-or-death contract, so don't cause any trouble!"

"You've already acted recklessly once. If you do it again, I'll have no choice but to revoke your qualification."

The visitor was none other than the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Seeing that Lin Xiao was not being persuaded, he resorted to a threatening tone.

"Very well! Since Your Majesty has spoken, then this junior will give you face!"

Lin Xiao didn't waste any more words; he had already achieved his goal. As for Xue Wushuang's divine power origin, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.

The Emperor of Great Zhou was somewhat surprised by Lin Xiao's sudden accommodating nature.

However, he quickly realized what was happening and secretly collected the strange essence blood of the Blood Demon from the ground.

His methods were so clumsy that many onlookers witnessed them.

Outside, the gazes of several elders from the Heavenly Evolution Holy Land began to turn cold.

"Hmph! This Emperor of Great Zhou has ulterior motives. He wanted to attack the people of my Holy Land before, and now he has secretly collected the Blood Demon's essence. It seems they want to use the Blood Demon to deal with my Heavenly Evolution Holy Land!"

"It seems we need to prepare for war with the Great Zhou Dynasty. But the Great Zhou Dynasty is so much weaker than us, how dare they attack us?"

The elders were completely baffled and couldn't understand it.

... ... ...

In the void, the eyes of the middle-aged man and the old man also radiated a chilling killing intent.

"The Great Zhou Dynasty is truly declining from what it once was. They actually managed to steal the Blood Demon's essence right under so many people's noses. It seems it's time to take action against the Great Zhou Dynasty!"

"Old man, you're wrong. We're only dealing with the Great Zhou royal family. There are many kind-hearted people in the Great Zhou Dynasty!"

The two figures in the void murmured to each other, and then fell silent.

... ... ..

The Imperial Palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

After dealing with Xue Wushuang's matter, the Emperor of Great Zhou returned.

In his hand was some blood essence from the Blood Demon.

However, he looked unwell.

"Damn it, I never expected that the few drops of Blood Demon essence I obtained would be of the lowest quality. What bad luck!"

The Emperor of Great Zhou said with a grim expression.

After saying that, he took out a container and put the Blood Demon Essence into it.

As these few drops of Blood Demon essence were dropped into the container, they began to rapidly recover under the nurturing power of the essence within.

It seems that it won't be long before the Great Zhou royal family will have several Blood Demons at their disposal.

The Xiao and Ye families remained indifferent to all of this.

... ... ...

Meanwhile, outside, the battle in another arena space had also ended.

Liu Ruyan completed the battle with ease, while her opponent Zhou Hongtian suffered a crushing defeat with severe injuries.

As their battle ended, the two arena spaces in the sky merged back together.

And without exception, this battle was between Lin Xiao and Liu Ruyan.

Liu Ruyan glanced at it expressionlessly before entering the arena space.

Lin Xiao sighed helplessly.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will have to fight Liu Ruyan.

This battle has also garnered immense attention.

Many people secretly prayed that the two would fight to the death.

No one wants two unparalleled prodigies to suddenly appear in the Heavenly Evolution Holy Land.

... ... ...

Lin Xiao and Liu Ruyan entered the arena at the same time.

Looking at Liu Ruyan, who was dressed in a long white dress and had an icy demeanor.

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Junior Sister Liu, we are both disciples of the Heavenly Evolution Holy Land, so let's not fight anymore. Why don't you admit defeat?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan glanced at her and said coldly, "Why aren't you the one who admits defeat?"

"I also want to be number one in this Hundred Sects Tournament!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao let out a long sigh of helplessness.

"Looks like we're going to have to fight!"

Liu Ruyan remained unmoved. Her eyes darted around as if she had thought of something, and she suddenly smiled faintly.

"It's not impossible for me to admit defeat, but Senior Brother Lin, you have to grant me one request."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao secretly thought that something was amiss.

He then asked, "What are the conditions? As long as Senior Brother Lin can do it, I will agree to it."

"This... I haven't thought about it yet!"
