Chapter 95: The Four-Strong Battle Ends, Facing Off (Part 1)

Xiaoyun, under the sound wave attack of Xiao Zhan's "hmm," retreated until he reached the edge of the arena before stopping.

However, his body was already unsteady, almost falling over!

Especially his face, which had turned pale, with a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth!

It was clear that Xiao Zhan's attack, at least from the current perspective, was not light!

"Hmph, this is a lesson for you. What, not convinced?" When Xiaoyun's gaze met Xiao Zhan's, Xiao Zhan said, his angry face becoming even more displeased.

This was because, at that moment, Xiaoyun's eyes, when looking at Xiao Zhan, revealed a strong sense of不服气 (discontent)!

"Yun'er, what's wrong with you! What you did today has greatly disgraced me! Although it can be understood that you might lose control on the arena, you shouldn't have gone this far!"

On the other side, just as Xiao Zhan finished speaking, Xiao Feng emerged from the crowd. Beside him was He Zhi, supported by a maid, the woman Xiao Bei should call Aunt.

At this moment, due to Xiao Bing's death, she had not yet recovered her spirits, and her face was still pale from illness. However, her eyes were even more cunning and venomous.

At this moment, Xiao Feng's words directly absolved Xiaoyun of most of his responsibility.

After all, to be honest, although Xiaoyun's actions were excessive, this was on the trial arena, where fights could be ruthless, and injuries could be judged... But this excuse was too weak... Under the watchful eyes of the other clans, including the Zhou family, Xiaoyun's actions, which disregarded family ties, could not be excused without some punishment!

Otherwise, the Xiao family's reputation would be greatly tarnished!

The clan members of the Xiao family would also be unwilling and furious! ... Now, everyone was waiting for Xiao Zhan's decision!

Zhou Jiao, on the side, revealed a barely noticeable smile in his eyes. Zhou Lei, who was next to Zhou Jiao, had been paying attention to him. When he noticed Zhou Jiao's smile, Zhou Lei's eyes also revealed a meaningful look, with a hint of a smile...

"Father, I am willing to take the blame for my son. Please give Xiaoyun one more chance." Xiao Feng said to Xiao Zhan, who looked very displeased in the air.

His tone was filled with a sense of sorrow.

And Xiao Feng's face looked very complicated.

However, Xiao Feng's words once again drew everyone's attention to Xiao Zhan.

In the end, how would Xiao Zhan handle Xiaoyun?

"I can give him a chance, but tell me, how will you take the blame for him? How will you compensate for the pain Xiao Yuan suffered?" Xiao Zhan said with a cold snort.

"I am willing to bear all the medicinal pills needed for Xiao Yuan's treatment and to contribute several beast cores equivalent to those of Imperial-level warriors as rewards for the winner of this trial arena. One of them will be directly given to Xiao Yuan. Also, my words do not mean that Xiaoyun is without blame, but I want him to complete this trial arena. After it ends, he will receive the punishment he deserves."

Xiao Zhan said each word clearly, then bowed deeply to all the Xiao clan members below the arena.

"Alright, I will let him complete this trial arena... Once it ends, he will immediately receive severe punishment! A father's failure to educate his son is a father's fault, Xiao Feng, you are at fault! Your fault also implicates me, your father, Xiao Zhan..."

Xiao Zhan said, angry at his lack of effort.

Then, Xiao Zhan landed on the ground and bowed to Xiao Lei.

However, Xiao Lei, on the other side of the arena, showed no reaction.

This indicated that Xiao Lei had now entrusted all matters to Xiao Zhan.

After receiving this signal, Xiao Zhan instructed the Tianlong guards, "Carry Xiao Yuan down and treat him immediately."

Several Tianlong guards immediately stepped forward and carried Xiao Yuan away. At the same time, Xiao Yuan's father, who looked very robust, and his mother, who was standing beside him, quickly went over...

On the other hand, Xiaoyun, on the arena, was afraid under the hateful gazes of the crowd!

Especially the anger on Xiao Zhan and others' faces made Xiaoyun realize that he had gone too far. At this moment, the Xiao family was not yet the one he could control after his rebellion.

He had incurred the wrath of the crowd!

So Xiaoyun's face was somewhat evasive, and after descending from the arena, he fearfully stayed by He Zhi and Xiao Feng.

Moreover, he took a pill given to him by He Zhi.

The effect of the pill seemed good, as Xiaoyun's complexion improved significantly after taking it.

Xiao Bei, seeing Xiao Zhan's handling of the situation, did not react much. If there was any reaction, it was due to Xiao Feng, his nominal father's, approach to handling the problem... After all, the person Xiao Bei had transformed into yesterday, enveloped in martial qi, had clearly heard the conversation between Xiao Lei and Xiao Zhan, and knew that Xiao Feng was not as he seemed...

"So, this handling might just be a delaying tactic. I doubt Xiao Feng will really receive any punishment. It's just a way to mislead people into thinking that someone from the Xiao family will go to the back mountain, weakening the Xiao family's strength... It's really a scheme based on Xiaoyun's actions..."

Xiao Bei thought, his eyes flickering.

On the arena, the trial arena continued!

Now, it was the third contestant, Xiao Qing, against the fourth contestant, Xiao Xu!

From the current perspective, there was at least a rank difference in their strength, making the outcome easy to predict... Xiao Qing, a ninth-rank Later Heaven martial artist, had the qualifications to directly enter the Xiao family's library and choose an annotated classic. He was not just a beginner, while Xiao Xu was only an eighth-rank Later Heaven martial artist, who had won first place in the family trial by hunting beast heads and getting a second chance.

This situation was somewhat similar to the earlier match between Xiaoyun and Xiao Yuan, with a rank difference in strength.

Due to the earlier incident, many Xiao clan members were still angry, but their attention to this match did not diminish much.

The sky was getting darker.

The sun was about to set.

Beside the arena, several large torches, about as thick as a person, were already prepared. When the sky completely darkened, these large torches would be lit, and the bright flames would illuminate the area like daylight.

Xiao Qing and Xiao Yuan had already started fighting on the arena.

However, the strength difference was too obvious. Xiao Qing, in terms of martial qi intensity and techniques, was far superior to Xiao Xu.

Especially since Xiao Qing practiced external cultivation, his resistance to attacks was also strong.

In this situation, Xiao Xu could not even break through Xiao Qing's martial qi defense, let alone cause him any harm... In the end, Xiao Xu, who had shown great perseverance by winning first place in the family trial after hunting beast heads, still lost to Xiao Qing.
