Chapter 481: The Feng Family’s Plea

The sudden appearance of the man with a yellow face was none other than Xia Zhongwu!

Without even looking at the pile of flesh and blood on the ground that belonged to Zhao Xin, Xia Zhongwu scanned the surrounding audience and said, "This person made a move in Xia City, violating the rules of the Xia family. That’s why I killed him as a punishment!"

Then, Xia Zhongwu slowly turned his gaze towards Jiang Yun and said, "You, too, have violated the rules of my Xia family!"

Although Jiang Yun didn’t know Xia Zhongwu, he had seen him twice before and could easily guess that he was the one colluding with the people from Mu village.

At that moment, when Xia Zhongwu suddenly killed Xiao Wangjie, Jiang Yun could clearly sense that the person who ordered Zhao Xin to attack Xiao Wangjie was also him!

Especially the palm strike that just killed Zhao Xin showed his strength, indicating that he was at least a strong individual in the Tao Spiritual Realm!

This was clearly a threat towards him, maybe even an attempt to kill him.

Despite knowing all this, Jiang Yun had no evidence at all.

So just then, while everyone was focusing on Xia Zhongwu, he quietly captured Zhao Xin’s life fire and put it into the Flameless Puppet Lantern.

Now, when Jiang Yun faced Xia Zhongwu’s questions, he looked down at Zhao Xin’s body on the ground and said coldly, "Anyone else who dares to harm the people of Xiao Village in the future, will end up like him!"

After saying that, Jiang Yun turned around and walked away without even acknowledging Xia Zhongwu.

This made Xia Zhongwu’s eyes flash with coldness, as he raised his hand and reached out towards Jiang Yun, saying, "Did you not hear what I said!"

Even though Jiang Yun had his back to Xia Zhongwu, he couldn’t help but be on guard against him.

He had already secretly prepared his hands to use the Art of Sacrificing to the Heavens if the other side dared to make a move.

And not just one sacrifice to the heavens, but three sacrifices to the heavens!

While Jiang Yun was decisive in his actions, he was definitely not lacking in strategy.

Since he dared to openly attack Zhao Xin in front of everyone, he had naturally considered all possible consequences and made thorough preparations.

Firstly, this was not on purpose to break the rules of the Xia family. Zhao Xin’s first answer already made everyone understand what really happened.

He was only retaliating because the people from Xiao Village were bullied first.

If the Xia family truly handles things fairly, then they shouldn’t have caused trouble for Jiang Yun.

But now, it’s clear that Xia Zhongwu is treating Jiang Yun like Zhao Xin, both facing severe punishment. Jiang Yun is prepared for it.

This preparation is called the Art of Sacrificing to the Heavens.

That’s why this time, he didn’t use flesh and blood as offerings but chose his own vitality instead.

Because his life force is much stronger than normal, it can sustain him to conduct three sacrifices to the heavens in a short period, temporarily boosting his strength to the Tao Spiritual Realm!

So, even though Xia Zhongwu is a strong Tao Spiritual Realm individual, Jiang Yun is still capable of fighting back.

Besides, Jiang Yun has one last powerful card up his sleeve. Even if a skilled expert from the Xia family’s Sky Blessed Realm appears, he may not be a match, but at least he can ensure the safety of himself and the people of Xiao Village as they leave peacefully!

However, just as he was about to perform the third sacrifice, a voice rang out in the Beast Arena, "Brother Xia, hold on!"

When the voice sounded, Xia Zhongwu’s hand reaching for Jiang Yun stopped in midair. He looked at the smiling elderly man in front of him and frowned, saying, "Brother Feng!"

Jiang Yun did not recognize this elderly man, but most people present did.

It is well known that in the entire Barbaric Southern Land, although there is only one Daoist clan, the Xia family, there are three major families under the Xia family, second only to the Xia family in strength.

They are the Feng family, Yu family, and Song family!

The elderly man who suddenly appeared, named Feng Dingyun, is an elder of the Feng family.

Everyone was puzzled by Feng Dingyun’s appearance at this moment and his intervention to stop Xia Zhongwu, clearly helping Jiang Yun’s actions.

Only Jiang Yun understood immediately upon hearing the man’s name.

The pill Jiang Yun had given to Master Feng to swallow in the past had unexpectedly taken effect at this moment.

At this moment, Master Feng, who was in the private room, had a look of helplessness and frustration on his face. No one wanted to kill Jiang Yun more than he did.

But seeing Xia Zhongwu about to kill Jiang Yun, he had to quickly inform the elders of his family to intervene, stop Xia Zhongwu, and save Jiang Yun.

As fellow cultivators in the Tao Spiritual Realm, Feng Dinyuan greeted Xia Zhongwu with clasped hands and said, "Brother Xia, although this young man’s actions were inappropriate, they can be understood. Besides, he is the challenger and the match is not over yet. Why don’t you show mercy and give him a chance?"

"Or perhaps, we can punish him after the Beast Arena competition is over. What do you think?"

After hearing Feng Dingyun’s words, Xia Zhongwu’s frowned even deeper. To be honest, he was also surprised by Feng Dingyun’s appearance.

Especially when Feng Dingyun directly pleaded for Jiang Yun, it made it impossible for Xia Zhongwu to continue attacking him.

Even though the Xia family was a Daoist clan, they were unwilling to have a falling out with the three major families unless absolutely necessary.

Moreover, what Feng Dingyun said was true. Even though Jiang Yun’s attack on Zhao Xin was wrong, there were reasons behind it, and the punishment shouldn’t be death.

If he insisted on killing Jiang Yun, it would be difficult to explain when he returned to the family.

Especially thinking about Xia Minglou and Yu Cangwu, who are still trapped by themselves, if they find out that Jiang Yun died by their hands, it will bring unnecessary trouble to them later.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Zhongwu’s furrowed brow gradually relaxed, nodding and saying, "I didn’t really want to kill this guy, I just wanted to teach him a lesson because he was too arrogant."

"Now that Brother Feng has spoken, I will naturally give Brother Feng some face, and punish him after the meeting is over!"

Feng Dingyun quickly bowed deeply to Xia Zhongwu, saying, "Thank you very much!"

"Alright, let’s leave it at that for now!"

Xia Zhongwu glanced around the Beast Arena again, saying, "If anyone dares to challenge the authority of my Xia family, don’t blame me for being impolite!"

After saying this, Xia Zhongwu and Feng Dingyun both disappeared, while the people from the Zhao family hurriedly left with Zhao Xin’s body.

As for Jiang Yun, without even looking back, he returned to the stage as if nothing had happened and said to Little Horn, "Why hasn’t it ended yet?"

Previously, everyone’s attention was focused on him, including Little Horn and Shen Long, so there is still no clear winner on the seventh stage.

After hearing Jiang Yun’s words, Little Horn spat out some snake venom, then suddenly stood up tall, with electric lights surrounding the horn, and charged towards the Ironwood Turtle.

Shen Long also snapped out of it, but now he didn’t have the same smug look on his face as before. Even the way he looked at Jiang Yun was filled with a strong sense of fear.

Daring to attack someone in front of the Xia family members, and having someone from the Feng family speak up for them, this kind of person was not someone you wanted to mess with!

"I concede!"

At this thought, Shen Long suddenly let out a loud cry and quickly withdrew his Ironwood Turtle, then rushed off the stage as if his life depended on it.

The number on the stone tablet of the seventh stage instantly changed to fifty!

Jiang Yun sat cross-legged in the center of the stage again, while Little Horn lazily returned to its original position, lying down and waiting for the next challenger.

In a certain private room, Xia Zhongwu watched Jiang Yun with a tightly furrowed brow, muttering to himself, "It seems that we have to let Yang Yanchao from the Yang family intervene early!"
