Before long, the expression of the Perfected Lord of Dragon Tiger Sect changed slightly as he took out a Destiny Talisman from his storage bag. Killing intent surged in his eyes as he looked at the dense cracks on it.
Immediately after, the Perfected Lords of Yuwen clan and Shadowless Sect sensed something.
By the time the two of them took out their Destiny Talismans, they had already shattered!
This time round, it wasn't just the Genying Zhenjun outside the pavilion. Even the Genying Zhenjun in the pavilion could not sit still.
Apart from the Gudu clan, there were 13 Genying Zhenjun in the pavilion apart from the Genying Zhenjun of the Ten Upper Sects and four gentry clans.
But now, the signs of the Destiny Talismans proved that five paragons were dead and one was injured!
Naturally, the five Genying Zhenjun had terrible expressions. Their gazes were dark and shuddering killing intent emanated from their bodies.
The other Genying Zhenjun had grim expressions as well.
This was not a normal situation.
The five paragons that died were from the Ten Upper Sects and four gentry clans. They were the top disciples and successors of their respective sects – how could they die so easily?
Furthermore, the five of them died way too quickly!
How long had it been since the fight for the Vermilion Fruit began?
If the five of them released their Jin Dan phenomenons, they would be able to hold on for at least an hour.
However, the signs right now were as though the five paragons were suppressed by someone with a thunderous might without being able to resist at all!
Before long, a commotion broke out in the crowd outside the pavilion.
Many Genying Zhenjun took out shattered Destiny Talismans one after another and scattered the shards on the ground.
The number of Perfected Jin Dan deaths was rising rapidly!
Blaze Columbus Valley, Dark Ghost Sect, Murong clan and other sects and clans took out their Destiny Talismans as well.
The Life Talisman, which was originally shining brightly, was now shaking violently.
This meant that the disciples of their sects were facing a great impact!
In just dozens of breaths, the Destiny Talismans of those paragons dimmed significantly.
Although Blaze Columbus Valley's Wang Yan's Destiny Talisman was not shattered, it was dark – it was clear that he was severely injured!
Snap!
The Destiny Talisman on the palm of Seven Kills Sect's Perfected Lord shattered!
The expressions of many Perfected Lords changed!
Within the pavilion, six paragons of the Ten Upper Sects and four gentry clans had already fallen!
Outside the pavilion, there were countless shattered Life Talismans!
What happened in the Great Qian Ruins?
This did not seem like a battle between geniuses. Instead, it seemed like the geniuses of the North Region had suffered a great calamity!
Genying Zhenjun of the Tuoba clan, the Murong clan, the Heaven Motion clan, and the other great clans looked at the dimmed Life Talismans in his hands with uncertain expressions.
It was not just the Perfected Lords of Blood Mist Sect and Dragon Tiger Sect. Even they could not sit still!
Genying Zhenjun had a feeling that something was out of their control!
"Everyone, we should take a look at the ruins."
The Perfected Lord of Blood Mist Sect suddenly said with a darkened expression.
They had gathered here to let the younger generation have a showdown to determine who was better and to prevent the other Genying Zhenjun from interfering.
But now, their disciples were dying one after another. They couldn't hold on any longer.
Although Tuoba Feng's Life Talisman was intact, it was much dimmer as well.
The Perfected Lord of the Tuoba clan hesitated for a moment before nodding. "I agree. Let's take a look at the Great Qian Ruins. If nothing goes wrong, we'll let the disciples continue fighting."
The other Perfected Lords exchanged glances in tacit agreement.
"Let's go!"
Everyone called out and was about to leave.
Suddenly, a massive spirit consciousness enveloped them.
Not far away, two figures flew through the air. It was a man and a woman, elegant and dazzling like immortals!
When they saw the two of them arrive, the expressions of the Genying Zhenjun of the Ten Upper Sects and four gentry clans changed and a deep sense of wariness appeared in the depths of their eyes.
"Fellow Daoists, the fight for the Vermilion Fruit is a showdown between Perfected Jin Dan. Where do you guys want to go?"
Although the man's voice was gentle, there was a questioning tone to it.
The Perfected Lords of the Ten Upper Sects and four gentry clans remained silent when they recognized the background of the man and woman.
When the other Genying Zhenjun noticed the expressions of Tuoba Feng and the others, their hearts skipped a beat as well and they chose to remain silent.
However, not everyone had the same foresight.
The Genying Zhenjun outside the pavilion came from all over the North Region. Some of them were from small sects while others were itinerant cultivators.
Everyone was already frustrated from being trapped here. When they saw the man and woman in ancient attire, the Genying Zhenjun could not help but sneer coldly, "Where are these old fogeys from? State your names!"
"Fufu."
The man smiled leisurely and spat out two words gently, "Duanmu!"
"Duanmu?"
The Genying Zhenjun who spoke was stunned for a moment and could not react in time.
However, a series of gasps could be heard from the crowd!
"Genying Zhenjun of the Duanmu aristocratic family is here as well!"
"If the Duanmu aristocratic family is here, the one beside him should be another ancient aristocratic family, the Ouyang family."
The Genying Zhenjun who spoke had an ashen expression and was so scared that he was trembling.
In Tianhuang Mainland, there were factions that were passed down from the ancient era and kept a low profile. Among them, there were some ancient aristocratic families.
Although many cultivators had not heard of the names of those aristocratic families, it was undeniable that they had a strong foundation and unfathomable strength!
Among the ancient aristocratic families, the three strongest aristocratic families were the famous aristocratic families of the cultivation world – the Dongfang family, Nangong family and Ximen Family.
The top factions of Tianhuang Mainland were the nine immortal sects, eight demon races, seven fiend sects, six Buddhist monasteries, five heretical doctrines, four unorthodox groups and the three aristocratic families!
There were two ancient aristocratic families in the North Region – Duanmu and Ouyang.
Although the two ancient aristocratic families were not as strong as the three aristocratic families in terms of reputation, they were definitely above the Ten Upper Sects and four gentry clans!
It was only because they were high and mighty and had been in seclusion for many years that cultivators at the bottom could not come into contact with them and very few people knew about them.
Take Misty Peak for example. Although it was one of the five major sects of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were not many people in the sect who had heard of the Duanmu and Ouyang aristocratic families.
They might not even come into contact with them in their entire lives.
To think that the appearance of the Vermilion Fruit this time round would alarm both of the ancient aristocratic families!
Suddenly, the Perfected Lord of Duanmu clan extended his hand and Dharmic powers surged, forming a gigantic palm in midair that grabbed Genying Zhenjun who Just Now had spoken rudely!
Poof!
That person could not even make a sound and was crushed into a blood mist with his Essence Spirit destroyed!
"Does anyone else have any objections?"
The Perfected Lord of Duanmu clan surveyed the surroundings and asked with a smile.
It was silent both inside and outside the pavilion and one could hear a pin drop.
This was the might of the ancient aristocratic families – they could kill with a smile and the crowd was silent out of fear!
Genying Zhenjun of the Ten Upper Sects and four gentry clans revealed indignant expressions. Although he did not dare to say it out loud, he cursed internally.
At the same time, the doubts in their hearts were finally resolved.
It was no wonder why so many paragons died right after the fight for the Vermilion Fruit began. Even the paragons of the Ten Upper Sects and four gentry clans suffered heavy casualties.
It was because the two ancient aristocratic families of the North Region had stepped in!
It was clear how frightening the successors of the two ancient aristocratic families were just by looking at the two Genying Zhenjun.
The two ancient aristocratic families had been in seclusion for many years. This time round, they were definitely bent on obtaining the Vermilion Fruit!
