The elders of the Dongfang family seemed to notice something was wrong with their patriarch, and immediately asked cautiously, "Patriarch, what happened?"
Dongfang Xin heard the sound and turned to look at his father.
"Dad, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so bad?"
The Dongfang family head slowly raised his head, his lips trembling slightly. His voice was as hoarse as the whine of an old bellows, and he said with an unconcealable tremor: "The sky... is going to change!"
If he had not been unable to send a message to his wife, he would not have sent people to investigate the situation on Sky Island, and he would not have discovered that the Tianzhou forces had secretly cut off Sky Island's connection with the outside world!
There's no way he couldn't understand what this meant!
The Tianzhou forces want to catch them all in one fell swoop!
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the elders of the Dongfang family changed drastically and they panicked.
"Master, what exactly happened?"
The head of the Dongfang family calmed down a little, and he informed the elders of the matter.
After hearing this, the elders were horrified.
Several elders immediately advocated announcing the matter to the public and uniting with all the major forces on the spot to deal with the Tianzhou forces.
However, several elders felt that this decision was inappropriate because they did not know the strength of the Tianzhou forces. If they could not defeat the Tianzhou forces, if they acted rashly, the Dongfang family would bear the brunt and become the primary target of revenge by the Tianzhou forces.
"What should I do?"
The elders looked at Patriarch Dongfang anxiously.
The Dongfang family head's expression was solemn. He transmitted a message, "Since this matter cannot be uncovered by our Dongfang family, we can only bribe a casual cultivator and use him to reveal the conspiracy of the Tianzhou forces."
"Yes, Patriarch!"
At this time, Dongfang Xin blinked his eyes. He saw the expressions of his father and the elders changing many times, and vaguely realized that something big had happened.
"Dad, is something wrong?" Dongfang Xin looked around and asked carefully in a low voice.
The Dongfang family head frowned and said, "Stay put, it's none of your business."
Dongfang Xin: “…”
The more his father refused to speak, the more curious he became.
He observed the four elders hurriedly leaving the viewing area, and an idea suddenly came to his mind.
After sitting for a while, he smiled and said to his father, "Dad, I'm going to the bathroom."
Before the Dongfang family head could answer, he ran out of the viewing area like a monkey and could not be caught.
Upon seeing this, the head of the Dongfang family felt so angry that his chest felt tight. He quickly ordered the first elder and the second elder to follow Dongfang Xin and not let him get into danger.
It's really not reassuring at all.
…
The top ten players will draw lots again, and will face each other in pairs to decide the winner and determine the ranking.
Unexpectedly, the first ones to step onto the stage were Chen Yan and Nie Xun from Jidao Sect.
When the two stood facing each other, their eyes met, and in an instant, it seemed as if time had gone back and they were in another world.
Nie Xun was still holding the light blue paper umbrella in his hand. He was dressed in a snow-white dress, cold and unworldly. His face was like a finely crafted work of art. He pursed his lips slightly, and his eyes revealed a hint of hidden emotion as he looked at Chen Yan.
The girl, also dressed in white, had a beautiful face like a snow lotus on an iceberg, cold and noble.
"Chen Yan."
The first sentence Nie Xun said was her name, instead of introducing himself.
Chen Yan's expression changed slightly, and he replied, "Master Nie."
Nie Xun's expression paused, and he felt an indescribable sense of loss in his heart. The cinnabar mark on his collarbone continued to emit a scorching temperature, making his breathing slightly disordered.
Chen Yan stared at Nie Xun, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.
For some reason, she now had an inexplicably familiar feeling towards Nie Xun.
It clearly didn't exist before.
When everyone saw their conversation, they instantly realized that they had known each other before.
Upon seeing this, the leader of Jidao Sect narrowed his eyes dangerously, with a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.
Xun'er actually knows Chen Yan? !
He was afraid that Nie Xun would show mercy to Chen Yan, so he immediately sent a message to Nie Xun: "Xun'er, fighting for points for the sect is the most important thing. I hope you won't show mercy just because your opponent is an acquaintance."
After hearing the voice transmission, Nie Xun twitched the corners of his lips slightly.
He knew that he could not beat Chen Yan, so whether he showed mercy or not seemed unimportant.
After the referee announced the start of the game.
Chen Yan summoned the Spirit Phoenix Sword and attacked in the direction of Nie Xun.
The sharp sword blade slashed down, but was blocked by Nie Xun holding a paper umbrella.
The sword blade left a shallow mark on the paper umbrella.
When the two men were fighting in close combat, Nie Xun's face suddenly changed and his lips became redder, but his body unconsciously softened.
The burning heat on his collarbone was like a blazing flame, threatening to consume his entire sanity. His movements were also a little slow, and in a moment of carelessness—
boom!
Chen Yan knocked him to the ground with a sword, and Nie Xun's body fell heavily to the ground.
Chen Yan's face was still as cold as ice. She moved her body, wanting to kick Nie Xun off the stage like a Cuju, but the moment she raised her foot, Nie Xun grabbed her.
Chen Yan's eyes suddenly became as cold as frost, and she clenched her sword to chop at his hand.
At the critical moment, he dodged.
But just as he was about to stand up, a sharp sword was placed at the side of his neck.
He raised his eyes and looked at Chen Yan.
Because he was so close, he could see her face clearly.
"Master Nie, do you admit defeat?" Her voice was cold.
Nie Xun curled his fingers slightly, and then revealed a cold smile mixed with tenderness, "I..."
Before he could finish his words, suddenly—
There was a loud explosion outside the stage, resounding through the sky.
It shocked everyone present.
At the same time, the independent cultivator who was bribed by the Dongfang family was shocked. He turned around in surprise and saw a huge smoke rising into the sky.
What's going on?
Could it be that the Dongfang family deliberately created the chaos?
But he quickly recovered, forced himself to remain calm, and shouted in terror, "Everyone, this is terrible! Sky Island is completely surrounded by Sky Stones! It's the Tianzhou forces! They're trying to trap us on Sky Island and make us their own prey!"
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples, and the faces of everyone present changed drastically in an instant.
Tianzhou forces? !
Almost everyone stood up from their seats at the same time, looking at the leader of Tianzhou forces, Chen Ke, as if they were facing a great enemy, with expressions of shock and anger on their faces, as if they were about to spit fire.
"Chen Ke, are you going to give us an explanation?!" The leader of Jidao Sect stared at Chen Ke with anger on the surface, but he was actually laughing in his heart. He had originally planned to unite with the Lu family and other forces to destroy the Tianzhou forces after the power ranking competition was over.
Unexpectedly, the Tianzhou forces actually took the initiative to jump out.
Now, the Tianzhou forces have successfully embarked on a dead end.
Next, he can openly lead all the major forces to destroy the Tianzhou forces!
It makes me happy just thinking about it.
