All the families that came to offer congratulations had entered the gates, and at this moment, they all sat around the vast Martial Combat Platform.

Below was the Martial Combat Platform, where the Qianye family's main event, the Hundred Battles Arena, was about to begin.

There was once a Cultivator who stood on the arena below and consecutively defeated one hundred opponents. Since then, this classic celebratory event transformed into the Hundred Battles Arena.

In a spot below the arena, the Fourth Elder's gaze was as cold as that of a venomous snake, intently staring at Li Xiaoyao beside the Third Elder.

"How Qianye Shou died, I want him to die the same way," the Fourth Elder said in a heavy voice.

The man beside him nodded and said, "No problem."

Li Xiaoyao's eyes were tightly closed. Ever since the annual meeting had started, he intermittently used his consciousness to probe. However, no matter how he probed, he could never locate Zhang Meng's whereabouts.

"Could it be that Meng Meng has not been abducted?" Li Xiaoyao wondered as the battle on the arena below had already begun.

This person had consecutively defeated three people but was beaten by the fourth opponent.

The contenders in the Hundred Battles Arena were all very measured in their attacks, as even for the Qianye family, cultivating a single Cultivator wasn't an easy task. If someone were killed in the Hundred Battles Arena, it would be a tremendous loss to the Qianye family.

The man beside the Third Elder stood up from his seat, lightly pointed his toes, and like a nimble swallow, leaped onto the stage.

"It's Master Tengno Shin!"

"It's actually Master Tengno Shin!"

"Qianye family's Offering, Tengno Shin, it is said he is a strong practitioner of the Spirit Cultivation Realm, who once single-handedly killed three warriors of the Abstinence Realm!"

The man on the Martial Combat Platform had not anticipated that Tengno Shin, an elder and Offering of the Qianye family, would actively step up to challenge him.

The man swallowed hard. He wanted to concede, for it would be quite embarrassing to do so; he had no choice but to brace himself and said, "Master Tengno Shin, please enlighten me!"

Tengno Shin spoke with an indifferent tone, "If I make a move, you will die."

The man trembled slightly, hesitated for a few seconds, then folded his hands and said, "I concede."

After the man stepped down, Tengno Shin's gaze swept around the room. Anyone whose eyes met his promptly looked away.

"What is Tengno Shin trying to do? After he stepped down, who would dare challenge him?" Second Elder Qianye Huihe frowned and said.

The man beside him said, "It's probably at the instigation of the Fourth Elder."

"The Fourth?" Qianye Huihe obviously didn't know about the killing of Qianye Shou yet.

After the man explained succinctly, Qianye Huihe immediately understood and said, "He wants Tengno Shin to kill that man on the Martial Combat Platform to avenge Qianye Shou?"

"The Fourth is too impulsive. Today is the clan's annual meeting; how can he behave so recklessly?" Shaking his head, Qianye Huihe asked, "How is Li Zi?"

"Her mood has stabilized quite a bit, and I've already sent someone to bring her over."

Qianye Huihe said, "Hmm, Li Zi has made no small contribution this time. After the annual meeting, arrange a position for her."

...

On the Martial Combat Platform, Tengno Shin's gaze suddenly shot toward Li Xiaoyao.

Li Xiaoyao, who was deep in thought with furrowed brows, sensed a hostile gaze and immediately looked back.

Tengno Shin raised his hand and extended a finger, pointing at Li Xiaoyao, and said, "Come down and accept your death!"

"Whoa!"

The entire place erupted into commotion, as Tengno Shin was initiating the challenge. They were very curious about who could provoke Master Tengno Shin to actively challenge and speak to in such a manner, just who was this illustrious figure?

"Who is that person?"

"Such a young man."

"He is so handsome, even stars can't compare to him."

Exclamations of surprise arose, all the women were captivated by Li Xiaoyao's handsome appearance, while the men sneered at his misfortune, delighted at his being challenged by Tengno Shin.

Seeing this scene, the Clan Leader, seated at the lower principal seat, furrowed his brows.

The Protector had said that Li Xiaoyao would be useful; before that, he definitely couldn't let him be killed. Although he knew Li Xiaoyao's cultivation level was powerful, Tengno Shin's was no weaker. If he were to accidentally kill him, it would be difficult to explain to the Protector.

"Looking for death?" Li Xiaoyao's eyes were as cold as ice, but he didn't refuse the challenge. He rose and walked toward the arena.

When the crowd saw him step onto the arena, they were astonishingly surprised.

"Is this man an idiot? That's Master Tengno Shin; does he really think he can compare to Master Tengno Shin?"

"Hehe, another fool who'd rather die than not stand out."

Bing'er and Zhi Ya sat below the platform, looking at Li Xiaoyao with some concern at this moment.

In a sense, Li Xiaoyao was their Protector. If Li Xiaoyao were to be killed, their safety would also be jeopardized.

From the discussions among the crowd, it could be understood that Master Tengno Shin, who challenged Li Xiaoyao, was a cultivator with powerful cultivation.

"A mere Qi Refining Realm, killing you would only require one finger," Tengno Shin said with disdain. As an offering to the Qianye Family, he would definitely not have bothered dealing with such a weakling if not for the Fourth Elder's request today.

Li Xiaoyao did not understand the language of birds, but he could also see his contempt. His left hand rested behind his back, while his right hand's palm slightly curved, gesturing to Tengno Shin with a hook of his fingers.

This action enraged Tengno Shin, who snorted with a vicious smile, lunged forward, and his right hand formed a claw aiming straight for Li Xiaoyao's throat.

No one believed Li Xiaoyao could survive under the hands of Master Tengno Shin, so when Li Xiaoyao raised his hand to defend, it was met with nothing but ridicule and laughter.

But the next second, their smiles froze on their faces, stiff as clowns, unable to laugh anymore.

"Crack, crack!"

Li Xiaoyao gripped Tengno Shin's palm, his face impassive, slowly bending his fingers. With the increasing force, his knuckles twisted and deformed, making sounds of breaking.

Even with Tengno Shin's resolute mind, he was tormented by the pain and let out a loud scream.

After crushing his fingers, Li Xiaoyao pulled down forcefully, and Tengno Shin's right arm was torn off like that of a doll, fresh blood spurting wildly from the severed arm.

Onlookers at the battle platform opened their mouths wide, fear and disbelief in their eyes.

"Master Tengno Shin, a warrior of the Spirit Cultivation Realm, was... was taken down without being able to withstand a single move?"

"Who exactly is he?"

Qianye Qihai's eyes brightened, and her desire to recruit Li Xiaoyao solidified.

Being able to grievously injure Tengno Shin at will, Li Xiaoyao's cultivation level was at least of the Spirit Cultivation Realm.

Li Xiaoyao was like a demon, calmly dismantling Tengno Shin's limbs one by one.

The battle stage was filled with blood, Tengno Shin's severed limbs and extremities scattering about, creating a horrifying scene that even the Elders found unsettling.

The Fourth Elder was seething with rage; he had thought there would be no issues with Tengno Shin taking action. Now it seemed he had underestimated this young man's strength.

"Bang!"

A foot stomped down, bursting Tengno Shin's head open. Li Xiaoyao looked around with a cold gaze, and asked indifferently, "Anyone else?"
