Xiao Star Lake was in turmoil. A powerhouse of the Great Zhou Royal Family had been killed by Chang Qing Pavilion, and the pride of the Great Zhou dynasty, the imperial heir Zi Wang, almost met the same fate, escaping in disgrace.

Upon hearing the news, all powerful forces of Great Zhou were markedly shocked.

This was a challenge to the Great Zhou Royal Family. Chang Qing Pavilion truly had great audacity. Were they really so confident that they could withstand the retaliation of the Great Zhou Royal Family?

Martial artists who had originally planned to visit Chang Qing Pavilion or even seek medical advice were immediately frightened and chose not to go anymore, all closely watching the development of the situation.

Yet, all this turmoil was completely ignored by Su Lingxiu as well as Xu Yan and Meng Chong. After all, it was just a death of a powerhouse who had refined the Heavenly Earth Lingji. It wasn't the first time a powerhouse was killed either.

Zi Yun expressed her worries cautiously, "The Great Zhou Royal Family is really strong. Will there be any trouble?"

Of course, though she was a bit worried, she didn't feel that there was any danger. Instead, she thought that there might just be some trouble.

"It's just a small matter. He attacked first, shouldn't we be allowed to retaliate?"

Su Lingxiu casually remarked.

"Exactly, if the Great Zhou Royal Family doesn't accept defeat, I'll go and block the entrance to his imperial palace and fight until he submits."

Xu Yan nodded in agreement.

Zi Yun was amazed, suddenly remembering that Xu Yan had challenged the Thousand Martial Hall by blocking its entrance a few years ago. His strength now had clearly become even more astonishing.

Chang Qing Pavilion was bustling with activity as Xu Yan recounted his experiences in Dachuan and his slaying of the sword controller elder of the Thousand Martial Hall.

He took out the cold blade from the Thousand Martial Hall and another Divine Artifact, and gave them to Meng Chong, saying, "Little brother, do you think this blade is appropriate?"

Meng Chong weighed it and said, "The blade looks good, but I'm more used to the blade you crafted. However, I can still use this. I'll study it and make a blade array."

After learning about Xu Yan's Sword Array, Meng Chong also became interested in creating his own blade array.

Chang Qing Pavilion was bustling with activity.

Meanwhile, at the top of the Thousand Martial Hall Mountain, the Thousand Martial Lord and his elders looked gravely serious. Was Xu Yan from the Inner Domain ?

Was Meng Chong also from the Inner Domain?

Does that mean that the Blood Demon is behind Xu Yan and Meng Chong?

A pest that's like an incessant headache for the Spirit Sect, falling and rising three times, seemingly unkillable. If the Blood Demon really returns, it would surely be even more dangerous.

Knowing how to hide itself now, planning before moving, and cultivating disciples as monstrously talented.

"The Transcendent Spirit Sect should gather. Inform Lei Yun Mountain Manor, Yu Ling Mansion, Taimiao Sect, and Great Zhou Xiang Family to discuss great matters."

The Thousand Martial Lord said with a cold expression.

"Yes!"

The sword controller elder had not sent any news for some time. He was a little uneasy. Could something have happened?

Was it Xu Yan who killed him, or was it someone behind Xu Yan?

If the sword controller elder really had fallen, the Thousand Martial Lord tended towards the latter. It was impossible for Xu Yan, in just a few years, to have the power to kill the sword controller elder.

Somewhere in Ling Domain, above the clouds.

Thousand Martial Lord brought a person with him. Lei Yun Manor Master, Mansion Master of Yu Ling, Taimiao Sect Master, and the representative from the Great Zhou Royal Family, was Zi Wang.

"What is it that you have called us here for?"

Lei Yun Manor Master asked in a deep voice.

"The matter of the competition of the geniuses will proceed as it is outlined in the rules. My Taimiao Sect won't support anything that violates these rules."

Taimiao Sect Master said in a deep voice.

The matter of the genius competition, to the the Taimiao Sect, cannot be changed by anyone since Xin Mengrou has already made a decision.

"Not about this."

Thousand Martial Lord said deeply, "I suspect that the Blood Demon has returned!"

As soon as these words were said, everyone present changed their expressions.

"Are you sure about this?"

Zi Wang asked in shock.

"The Blood Demon definitely couldn't have returned. My senior uncle had already killed it!"

Taimiao Sect Master said coldly.

Looking coldly at Thousand Martial Lord, "Do you have any evidence?"

"This person came from the Inner Domain during the opening of the last Gate of Lingyu. According to the information we have, Xu Yan is from the Inner Domain and Meng Chong is from the Inner Domain. They are disciples of the same sect!"

Thousand Martial Lord picked up Zi Yun Huang and said solemnly.

Mansion Master of Yu Ling and Zi Wang looked at Zi Yun Huang and asked in a deep voice, "Is this true?"

Zi Yun Huang, pale as paper and trembling with fear, now that it had come to this, how could he hide it anymore?

"Xu Yan really is from the Inner Domain, and so is Meng Chong. They are the sect's geniuses, undefeatable geniuses. They have a mentor, a mysterious, highly skilled practitioner."

Thousand Martial Lord said in a deep voice, "The Inner Domain is a low-level place, as you and I should know. Apart from the Blood Demon who fled into the Inner Domain back then, where are there any highly skilled practitioners? Xu Yan's backer must be the Blood Demon from back then without a doubt!"

Mansion Master of Yu Ling and Zi Wang nodded with extremely grave expressions. Apart from the Blood Demon, where else could there be highly skilled practitioners in the Inner Domain?

"Impossible, the Blood Demon is already dead. My senior uncle personally buried him. As for Xu Yan and Meng Chong being from the Inner Domain, my senior uncle is aware of it too. He has investigated it, and they definitely are not the Blood Demon."

Taimiao Sect Master shook his head.

Lei Yun Manor Master opened his mouth with a grave expression, "I, Lei Yun Manor, have some contact with Chang Qing Pavilion. I have sought treatment from the Immortal Pill Doctor and have seen that person.

"I agree with what Sect Master of Taimiao says. He is not the Blood Demon, but... Lord!"

When he finished, Lei Yun Manor Master's voice became low, "The purpose of Lord's arrival is not something we can probe into. I, Lei Yun Manor, will not participate in this matter."

Mansion Master of Yu Ling and a few others' expressions changed, and they exclaimed in surprise,"Is this really true?"

"Ninety percent sure!"

Lei Yun Manor Master solemnly said.

"Is it really not the Blood Demon?"
