At this mont, in the stands, countless Huo Clan mbers bowed their heads.
An unprecedented sense of sha made them feel utterly humiliated.
As for the Clan Leader of the Huo Clan, his face was incredibly grim.
What could be more disgraceful than this?
"Boom!"
In an instant, the Huo Clan Patriarch rushed down, grabbed Huo Yuxiao, and personally tore off the Fire Robe he was wearing.
Huo Yuxiao knew at this mont that everything was over for him.
His trembling eyes looked at the Clan Leader: "C-Clan Leader, Huo Yuxiao has realized his mistake. I beg the Clan Leader to forgive considering my contributions to the Huo Clan!"
He had tarnished the Huo Clan's reputation!
This was about the honor of the entire Huo Clan, and at this mont, Huo Yuxiao was the sinner of the whole clan!
At the sa ti, another person stood on the Battle Platform, equally trembling with fear.
This person was Huo Lianjing.
That 'Primordial Glaze' was given to Huo Yuxiao by him!
If Huo Yuxiao spills this secret, won't it be over for him as well?
"Clan Leader!"
"As the senior brother among this year's combatants for the Huo Clan, I also bear responsibility in this matter!"
"However, I implore the Clan Leader to forgive Junior Brother Huo and give him another chance!"
At this mont, Huo Lianjing pleaded with the Huo Clan Patriarch on behalf of Huo Yuxiao.
He hoped this would persuade Huo Yuxiao not to expose him.
The Huo Clan Patriarch gave a cold glance at Huo Yuxiao and then said to Qi Zhengyuan: "This matter is a wrongdoing of our Huo Clan. We will provide a fair and just explanation!"
With that, he grabbed Huo Yuxiao: "Due to your mistake, you've brought great negative scrutiny to our entire Huo Clan!"
"Starting imdiately, you are no longer part of the Huo Clan! Get out!"
The Clan Leader swept his robe, raising a huge wave of fire that sent Huo Yuxiao flying and crashing hard onto the ground.
His organs trembled violently, his blood churned, and he suffered internal injuries.
At this mont, Huo Yuxiao felt as if a bolt of thunder struck his mind, exploding with a 'boom'.
He was banished from the Huo Clan?
Withdrawing from the ranking ceremony, he could accept!
But being banished from the Huo Clan, how could he possibly accept that?
Without the Huo Clan, where could he go to cultivate?
Huo Clan mbers are not like other sect disciples who can cultivate anywhere!
They have a special physique and must use the unique thods of the Huo Clan to cultivate.
Being banished from the Huo Clan ans his future path of cultivation would be completely cut off.
In a martial world, having one's path of cultivation severed is a devastating blow!
So, at this mont, Huo Yuxiao was utterly frantic!
He looked pleadingly towards Huo Lianjing: "Brother Huo! Brother Huo, please plead for ! I can't leave the Huo Clan! I'm willing to accept any other punishnt! Just don't make leave the Huo Clan!"
As he spoke, his voice even broke into sobs.
If he had known it would co to this, he would never have agreed to Huo Lianjing's rotten idea!
Huo Lianjing felt extrely distressed; after all, Huo Yuxiao held a leverage over him, otherwise, he wouldn't bother with Huo Yuxiao.
But when he looked at the Clan Leader and saw his indifferent eyes, he imdiately knew that nothing he said would make a difference.
The Huo Clan's reputation was above all personal matters!
"Bang!"
Already furious, the Clan Leader got even angrier when he heard Huo Yuxiao seeking help from Huo Lianjing and refusing to comply with his decision.
He delivered a punch that knocked Huo Yuxiao unconscious.
"Soone!"
"Drag him out for !"
Qi Zhengyuan watched coldly as two people imdiately ran in to drag Huo Yuxiao's body away.
Seeing this, Huo Lianjing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The Huo Clan Patriarch's face was stern as he looked across the venue: "Regarding the vile actions by our combatant Huo Yuxiao, as the Clan Leader of the Huo Clan, I feel ashad!"
"Here, on behalf of the Huo Clan, I apologize to all the powers participating in the ranking ceremony!"
He had to apologize!
To apologize on behalf of the Huo Clan!
After all, this was a stage watched by the whole kingdom, and if there was no apology or acknowledgnt of wrongdoings, who knows how many rumors would spread behind their backs in the future?
Though, as a Clan Leader, apologizing in front of so many people was a very humiliating act!
But at the mont, there was no other way to salvage the situation.
"If it happens again!"
"The Huo Clan will be disqualified from participating in future ranking ceremonies!"
Qi Zhengyuan cast a cold glance at the Huo Clan Patriarch.
"Yes!"
At this mont, the Huo Clan Patriarch's head was nearly touching the ground; he had never suffered such humiliation in his life.
"The top 20 competition continues!"
Qi Zhengyuan imdiately announced the continuation of the ranking ceremony.
However, after this little episode, many people looked at Qin Chen with renewed admiration.
They were curious about where Qin Chen ca across the 'Primordial Glaze,' a unique concoction that even Qi Zhengyuan hadn't heard of—was it pure coincidence?
If not a coincidence, then clearly, Qin Chen's insights far exceeded those of 90% of those present!
"Kill him for !"
As the Huo Clan Patriarch left, he transmitted a sound to Huo Lianjing.
Although he didn't ntion a na, Huo Lianjing knew very well who the 'he' the Clan Leader referred to was.
Qin Chen!
If it weren't for Qin Chen, would he suffer such humiliation?
Would the Huo Clan bear this infamy?
Not at all!
Everything was because of Qin Chen!
Although he didn't show anything on the surface, he secretly harbored a killing aura towards Qin Chen!
Receiving the transmission, Huo Lianjing's eyes flickered.
In fact, even if the Clan Leader hadn't said anything, he wouldn't have let Qin Chen go so easily either.
Just a mont ago, he was almost put in a situation where his reputation could have been completely ruined,
Huo Lianjing looked at Qin Chen, his eyes filled with a hint of hatred!
"I challenge you!"
As he spoke, Huo Lianjing stepped forward, accompanied by a terrifying blaze that surged towards Qin Chen like a towering wave.
Everyone was taken aback but soon understood.
Was Huo Lianjing trying to restore face for the Huo Clan?
However, as long as Qin Chen wasn't out of his mind, would he accept?
Huo Lianjing was, after all, one of the top contenders and the foremost of the younger generation in the Huo Clan!
His strength was unfathomable. Let alone the top 20, even in the top 10, he was a strong contender.
With his strength, he would easily advance among the top 20; indeed, throughout this stage, he might not even need to take action, and no one would dare challenge him thinking they could defy him.
"Junior Brother Qin Chen, don't agree. There's no need to agree."
Liu Yifan whispered this advice into Qin Chen's ear.
