After he crippled Su Yan and turned her into a vegetative person, the Su family only hired a doctor once for her treatnt, who soon disappeared mysteriously.
Following the mysterious disappearance of the doctor, several other people started vanishing from the Su family.
Rumors began to spread that the maids and workers who mocked the young miss of the Su family were rcilessly killed by her. All of the workers who died were slaves of the Su family.
At first, Noah thought that Long Xiang used so thods from demonic sects to use the bodies of the workers from the Su family to cultivate to this level, but he still had his doubts, as such a number of low-level workers would not give him the power to reach the peak of the core formation realm.
Many things happened in the Su family after those events. The head of the Su family, Su Yan’s father, stopped appearing in public.
Long Xiang entered closed-door cultivation, and Su Yan’s aunt started buying orphans and old people at the slave market.
At first, the officials suspected the involvent of demonic cultivators as well, but they dismissed it after the slaves did not disappear but instead made regular appearances in public.
To others, it might have seed normal, but to Noah, it was clearly suspicious. The appearance of slaves in public seed like an act, like they wanted to show the world that the servants were not used for cultivation.
As if to confirm his suspicion, two days before the event started, the slaves stopped appearing in public.
"What do you an?" Noah’s somber tone, along with his deep words, shook Zhong Hua’s heart.
At the sa ti, she saw Long Xiang on the screen tearing his opponent apart like a savage beast. His blood-red claws were enough to kill those who dared to face him.
"He borrowed the power from a demon using human lives as a sacrifice!"
"What?!!!" Zhong Hua exclaid loud enough for the whole arena to hear, but to her shock, no one seed to have heard her shout.
She realized that the person beside her might have done sothing to do with it.
"Why would he do sothing like that? What does he want to achieve by coming here?" She clenched her hands into fists while looking at Long Xiang with deep killing intent.
Noah chuckled slightly before replying, "No need to think too much, he will die today anyway. Do you think only you have noticed the changes in him?"
Zhong Hua’s eyes widened as she realized sothing, ’Indeed, if he could see what’s wrong with him, maybe Father and the Emperor can also see it.’
But his next words shattered her expectations.
"Only people with special ans can see it." Seeing the look on her face, he added, "I can already see so people from the Empire have already started to make a move in secret."
It was then that she noticed the increase in the number of guards around the arena, and they did not seem weak either.
"Sadly, they won’t have the chance to make a move against him." Noah’s sudden statent left Zhong Hua in a daze. Before she could ask further, a voice interrupted their talk. Enjoy new adventures from Freewebnovel
"The winner is Rank 2, Long Xiang!"
"For the next match, please welco Rank 1, Long Tian! Versus… Rank 4, Gong Zhi!!!"
Under the cheers of the crowd, Long Tian and Gong Zhi made their way onto the stage while Long Xiang returned to his previous position.
As Long Xiang and Long Tian passed by each other, Long Xiang slowed his pace while glaring at the latter, "I am counting the monts before I get to torture you in a way you would have never imagined."
"I am surprised that you know how to take revenge." Noah exclaid with a shocked expression. Seeing the confusion on Long Xiang’s face, he added, "After all, the only thing you could do was watch as I crippled your wife."
"You— "
Before Long Xiang could lose his cool and attack Noah, a hand stopped him.
"Don’t get yourself disqualified before I get a chance to kill you and take the only thing you have left." Noah placed a hand on Long Xiang before speaking near his ear in a cold tone.
Long Xiang stood in place, frozen with his head lowered, while Noah made his way towards the stage.
’Hehe~ how pathetic! That kid insulted you so much, and you rely stood there and took everything. How disappointing!’ Long Xiang heard a demonic whisper in his ears, which made him raise his head.
Looking back at Noah’s disappearing figure with bloodshot eyes, he clenched his hands into fists. ’I will kill that bastard!’
’Hehe~ If you want more power, you just have to give more blood!’ the voice laughed maliciously in Long Xiang’s ears.
"Hmph!" Snorting, Long Xiang continued walking, but he did not retort to the words he had just heard.
Zhong Hua tried her best not to look in his direction and kept her focus on Noah’s battle. Using the sa golems he used in his previous matches, Noah defeated his opponent, deciding the top 4 of the tournant.
"Four matches, four semi-finalists! Ladies and gentlen, are you ready for the final two matches before the finale?"
The crowd roared before the host as the screen glowed and showed four nas.
Long Tian!
Zhong Hua!
Long Xiang!
Li Hua!
The nas moved apart and disappeared before two sets of nas appeared.
"Would you look at this unexpected turn of events, we have our first match of the semi-finals!"
There was a hint of surprise in the host’s voice as he looked at the nas on the screen, a shock that was mirrored on the faces of the crowd.
Looking towards the masked face on the stage, the host grinned wildly before exclaiming:
"Please welco Rank 1, Long Tian, and Rank 2, Long Xiang, to the stage!!!"

[Match 1]
