"Brother Xu..."
Looking at the terrified face of Aniu, Xu Fan gently waved his hand, choosing not to engage with Aniu or the white-haired elder.
In fact, Xu Fan had no intention of doing anything to the white-haired elder. If Xu Fan had wanted to act, would Aniu have had the chance to enrage the white-haired elder to the point of fainting?
Xu Fan knew that once he walked out of the ruins, a great battle was inevitable, and he was already prepared for it. But the battle's opponent was definitely not the white-haired elder.
"Alright, go take care of your grandfather."
Xu Fan waved his hand dismissively, letting Aniu take the white-haired elder away, while he stood proudly under the gaze of many.
Xu Fan had no intention of retreating or avoiding this battle.
"Isn't this boy too arrogant? Standing in the center, he really thinks he's sobody?"
"Ignorant youngster! In terms of status and strength, who here isn't hundreds of tis stronger than him?"
The big figures were gossiping about Xu Fan, while the juniors beside them quickly pulled their elders closer, fearing they might end up like Aniu.
However, most in the arena were not focused on Xu Fan, but on the depths of the ruins.
There were about a hundred big figures present, yet only about fifty juniors erged, close to half of the big figures' faces were extrely somber!
In previous years, although there were battles within the ruins, they were mostly restrained; lives were rarely lost. Out of a hundred people, losing two or three would already be considered severe. But now, nearly half were missing!
Recalling the broken restriction and the juniors' panicked escape, many felt a sense of foreboding.
Could it be... nearly half of them perished inside?
Among the many big figures, the elder from the Taoist family looked particularly grim.
Before entering the ruins, Qing Xuan was already at the Zhiwei Realm, a super genius ranked third on the Earth List! Even among those present now, Qing Xuan was an extraordinary existence! Even if Qing Xuan didn't make a breakthrough inside the ruins, no one could possibly defeat him!
Moreover, Qing Xuan was from the Taoist family, mastering so techniques of the Beast Taming Art! He should have been invincible in the ruins!
Yet now, Qing Xuan still hadn't appeared...
Qing Xuan entered the ruins with a special mission, and his death was a minor issue. The Taoist family never lacked geniuses; they could cultivate another one.
The critical point is that the special mission must never be exposed! Once revealed, the Taoist family could face dissatisfaction or even siege from many factions!
Suppressing his unease, the Taoist elder coldly and nacingly scanned the surroundings, asking icily, "Can anyone tell where Qing Xuan is?"
Everyone's expressions changed, but no one answered the Taoist elder's question. Occasionally, glances were cast towards Xu Fan in the center, but seemingly afraid of being noticed by him, they quickly looked away.
Seeing everyone like this, the Taoist elder's sense of unease reached its peak.
Not only the Taoist elder, but most of the fifty survivors were Huaxia cultivators, whereas only about ten foreign monks survived, and now, dozens of foreign strongn bore faces as dark as coal.
"What are you Huaxia cultivators up to? Why have so few of you died and we've suffered so many casualties?"
"I suspect this is a conspiracy by Huaxia against us! Is Huaxia declaring war on the entire Cultivation World?"
The foreign strongn were furious, their faces red with anger.
Among fifty cultivators from various countries, over thirty died, while only a few Huaxia cultivators perished. This stark contrast made it hard not to suspect!
"Shut up!"
The Taoist elder was clearly not good-tempered. Already frustrated by Qing Xuan's absence, how could he tolerate the foreign strongn's noise?
However, the Taoist elder dared not speak too harshly. Though the Taoist family was powerful and his status within it was not low, he couldn't afford to offend all global powers.
"My Taoist Lord Qing Xuan ranked third on the Earth List, the first genius of this Taoist generation! If Huaxia had a conspiracy, would it be so obvious? Would Qing Xuan also be lost inside?"
The Taoist elder's words finally silenced the foreign strongn.
Yet the foreign strongn did not relent, their eyes coldly fixing on the Huaxia cultivators. Clearly, they needed an explanation for the loss of their own genius.
And the Taoist elder, more than anyone, needed to understand what happened.
At this mont, the Taoist elder unleashed terrifying Spiritual Power, enveloping everyone in the arena. His voice was chillingly cold.
"I said, tell where Qing Xuan is!"
This was directed at all Huaxia cultivators present, and under the Taoist elder's terrifying presence, many juniors trembled involuntarily.
Yet still, no one answered the Taoist elder's question.
Because... the one who killed Qing Xuan was the young man nad Xu Fan!
In everyone's eyes, though the Taoist elder was powerful, compared to Xu Fan who could heavily wound the Golden Ape, he was still quite inferior.
"Haha."
Seeing everyone's reaction, the Taoist elder's anger reached its pinnacle!
Not just because of the attitude, but because he had already guessed Qing Xuan's demise from everyone's deanor!
If Qing Xuan wasn't dead, how could everyone show such expressions?
The question is... who in the ruins could have killed Qing Xuan?
Moreover, what worried the Taoist elder more was whether the one who killed Qing Xuan had discovered anything...
"It seems the Taoist family's kindness has made us overlooked, since that's the case..."
In extre anger, the Taoist elder quickly lost patience, reaching out to grab the neck of a Huaxia junior.
"Speak! Who killed Qing Xuan?"
"I don't know..." The Huaxia cultivator gasped, both rejecting the question and casting a pleading glance at Xu Fan.
"Hmm?"
The Taoist elder glanced at Xu Fan, quickly dismissing him upon realizing he was just a junior at the Vajra Realm.
"Since you don't know, then die!"
The Taoist elder acted decisively, Spiritual Power surged, intending to kill the Huaxia junior publicly!
And at this mont, Xu Fan's voice finally echoed.
"Qing Xuan, was killed by ."
Everyone couldn't help but look at the young man who spoke, yet before they could express their shock, Xu Fan's next words sparked an uproar.
"Not only Qing Xuan, all foreign monks were slain by !"
As the words fell, the arena erupted in chaos!
