At this moment, the arena's defensive formation was stabilized thanks to the intervention of several elders.

As a result, no one around was injured.

However, a raging fire still burned inside the arena.

Looking at these flames, one can't help but feel a chill down one's spine.

"These flames are terrifying! If the elders hadn't intervened in time, we probably wouldn't have been able to escape and would have been burned to ashes."

"Yes! I wonder how Senior Brother Lin is doing. I hope he's alright!"

"Hmph! Of course Senior Brother Lin will be fine. You didn't see how powerful his sword strike was just now. It stunned me!"

“... ... ..."

A murmur of discussion gradually arose around them, and after a while...

It disappeared as the flames on the arena gradually subsided.

"Quick, look! There's still a figure standing on the stage. Who is that?"

Suddenly, a sharp-eyed outer disciple shouted.

Everyone looked towards the arena again.

The two patriarchs on both sides also turned their gazes to the arena.

"Haha! It's Lin Xiao. It seems the outcome is decided!" an old ancestor from the Heavenly Evolution Holy Land said with a smile.

"Hmph! That was a divine-grade divine power just now. When my disciple unleashed his sword, it naturally possessed the power to annihilate everything. How could any heavenly spiritual fire possibly harm him?"

“... ... ..”

The patriarchs of the Xiao family gradually saw the figures on the arena, and their faces immediately turned extremely gloomy.

At this moment, Lin Xiao was standing on the arena, circulating the Great Sun Devouring Heaven Technique, turning the surrounding flames into energy to replenish his consumption.

Just now, by unleashing a full-force sword strike with divine power, he had already drained the true essence from his body.

If he doesn't replenish his supplies now, he won't escape his fate if those Xiao family elders make their move.

After all the surrounding flames were absorbed by him as true essence, Lin Xiao finally looked ahead.

In front of him was a corpse that had been cut in two.

However, although life was lost, when Lin Xiao looked at the corpse, he could still see some information.

Name: Su Chen

Age: 18

[Cultivation Level: Divine Power Realm (Ninth Level/Severely Injured)!]

[Destiny: The chosen protagonist of "The Flame Emperor," possessing extraordinary comprehension and a sacred body of flames!]

[Life Script: After losing the battle of the ten-year agreement, his physical body was destroyed, but his soul was hidden in his body. It was discovered by the Xiao family patriarch, who brought the body back to the Xiao family. Through Xiao Yanran's efforts,

Reborn from the corpses of others, and after years of arduous cultivation, he ascends to the Emperor Realm to exact revenge!

"Oh? You're still alive? But Su Chen, it's time for your time to end here!"

Lin Xiao said calmly, making no attempt to hide his words, and everyone around him heard them clearly.

"What's going on? Su Chen was cut in two by Senior Brother Lin, yet he's still alive? Senior Brother Lin isn't joking, is he?"

"What a joke! Senior Brother Lin is a true disciple of the Heavenly Evolution Holy Land. His words represent the entire Heavenly Evolution Holy Land. If he says Su Chen is not dead, then he is not dead!"

'... ... ..'

Seeing that Lin Xiao had won the victory and even wanted to deal with Su Chen's corpse, the Xiao family's patriarchs were instantly enraged.

"Lin Xiao, what are you doing? You've already killed Su Chen, you've already won, are you still not willing to leave Su Chen's corpse alone?"

"As a true disciple of the Heavenly Evolution Holy Land, a righteous person, how could you be so vicious and cruel!"

An elder of the Xiao family immediately spoke up, wanting to use this opportunity to punish Lin Xiao and force him to hand over the evil spirit sword.

Even people from the Heavenly Evolution Holy Land stood up to speak for Su Chen.

"Junior Brother Lin, you've gone too far. Su Chen is already dead, and your feud is over. Why can't you let Su Chen's body go back?"

Lin Xiao turned around and saw that the person speaking was none other than Xiang Xiaoyu, the senior disciple of the Heavenly Evolution Holy Land.

Lin Xiao said without any politeness.

“Senior Brother Xiang, you are the last person who should be speaking here. As a member of our Tianyan Holy Land, you haven’t even figured out the situation yet, but you’ve come out to criticize me and help outsiders. What are your true intentions?”

With just one sentence, everyone who had previously felt that Lin Xiao was cruel because of Xiang Xiaoyu turned to look at Xiang Xiaoyu.

"That's right! Senior Brother Lin is right. He fought Su Chen for so long, he must know what's going on with Su Chen. What's wrong with Senior Brother? Why is he speaking up for an outsider?"

"Hmph! Does this kind of person deserve to be our senior brother? Didn't he see how the Xiao family's ancestors treated us and our ancestors? Was he blind?"

Hearing the insults from the crowd, Xiang Xiaoyu's face turned extremely gloomy.

He originally wanted to resolve the matter quickly in the name of the eldest brother, because he had keen insight and could see that the Xiao family patriarchs had already shown displeasure.

If this is not handled properly, the Xiao family will definitely become enemies with the Tianyan Holy Land, and the Tianyan Holy Land will certainly be targeted.

'These idiots, how can they not see the situation?'

Xiang Xiaoyu cursed inwardly, while also hoping to rely on the elders and ancestors around him.

However, when he turned to look at the elders, he found that their faces were also gloomy, and his heart skipped a beat.

"Oh no, I've gone too far. It seems the elders don't like what I just did either."

Just as Xiang Xiaoyu was muttering to himself.

An elder spoke up: "Xiang Xiaoyu, you should go back. Otherwise, you'll interfere with Lin Xiao's decision, and this battle is not over yet!"

Some of the elders also noticed some fluctuations in the divine soul on Su Chen's corpse, and they understood that the battle was not over yet.
