As soon as Tie Wuqing made his move, the situation became completely different. It became a battle between the Six Doors Gate and Blue Blood Castle.
At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing battle armor suddenly descended from the sky. His Harmonious Spirit Realm aura was completely revealed.
Seeing Shangguan Tang injured by Su Xin, this Harmonious Spirit Realm expert coldly snorted, "The people of my Blue Blood Castle are not that easy to hurt."
The other experts were stunned. This person had an even greater background. He was the Vice Hall Master of Blue Blood Castle, 'Nine Battles Origin Dragon' Chen Tiandong.
It was said that Blue Blood Castle was overbearing and protective of their people. This time, they finally witnessed it.
In order to avenge Shangguan Tang's son, they came all the way to Henan Province. Not only did they go against the imperial court, they even sent out a Harmonious Spirit Realm expert.
However, Blue Blood Castle had been passed down for so many years. If they weren't overbearing and protective of their people, how could they make their disciples loyal and devoted to them?
Therefore, as long as a disciple of Blue Blood Castle was injured, there was no telling how many people would be implicated. Not to mention that Shangguan Tang's son was killed.
Chen Tiandong punched out. Suddenly, a strong gust of wind condensed on his fist. Endless astral energy danced in the air. His entire body seemed to have turned into a violent tornado. The wind roared and swept across the world!
A hint of coldness flashed in Su Xin's eyes. The people of Blue Blood Castle were simply unreasonable. Their way of doing things was like a hooligan.
He heard that Chu Bufan had a conflict with the people of Blue Blood Castle. In the end, he attacked more than ten halls of Blue Blood Castle in a fit of anger.
This was Blue Blood Castle's way of doing things. They never cared about pestering and bullying the weak.
Just like when he was facing Su Xin now. He, a Harmonious Spirit Realm expert, attacked Su Xin, a Transformed Spirit Realm expert, without the slightest hesitation.
Su Xin's left hand gripped the hilt of the Flying Blood Sword. His eyes were scarlet red, and the blood aura around him shot into the sky. A terrifying blood aura shot into the sky from the Flying Blood Sword.
As Su Xin slashed out with his sword, a sea of blood surged, a sinister wind howled, and evil spirits wailed. This horrifying phenomenon shocked all the cultivators present.
Waves rose from the sea of blood, towering into the sky. Chen Tiandong let out an angry roar and punched out, tearing the waves apart. Endless gales howled as this punch drew upon the might of the heavens and earth, making him seem as terrifying as an ancient devil god.
Su Xin sighed. The power of a Harmonious Spirit Realm expert was too strong. Even with his full strength, he was still slightly weaker than his opponent.
Just as Su Xin was about to exchange for a consumable item to clash head-on with him, Tang Xian, who had been squinting his eyes and remaining silent, made his move.
Tang Xian had long been aware of Chen Tiandong's existence, but he did not make a move.
Chen Tiandong did not appear before because he thought that Blue Blood Castle's reputation would be enough to make Su Xin hand over Gao Changqing.
He did not expect that Blue Blood Castle's reputation would be useless. Shangguan Tang, who had been famous for a long time, was no match for Su Xin, a young man who had just stepped into the Divine Transformation Realm for more than a year. Therefore, Tang Xian, who had been hiding in the dark, had no choice but to make a move.
Tang Xian's plan was the same. If Su Xin wanted to protect his subordinates, he would have to show his true strength. Tang Xian would not intervene.
However, things were different now. Blue Blood Castle openly made a move on the imperial court's territory. Tang Xian even dared to bully the weak. This was simply looking down on the imperial court. Did he really think that there was no one in the imperial court?
Tang Xian snorted coldly. His figure was like a ghost, appearing in front of Chen Tiandong in the blink of an eye.
With a point of his finger, a soft force was suddenly released. Suddenly, the sky was filled with frost. Chen Tiandong's fist was instantly frozen in mid-air, unable to take another step forward!
The unparalleled fist collided with the soft and slender finger, but Chen Tiandong was the one who suffered in the end.
Frost began to condense on the ground beneath their feet. Unlike Su Xin's True Insight of Icy Hell, Tang Xian's finger strike was filled with pure Yin energy, pushing the power of evil to the extreme.
Chen Tiandong spat out a mouthful of blood. What he spat out was not liquid blood, but blood-red icicles!
As the cold poison entered his body, Chen Tiandong's face turned pale. His eyes were full of fear as he looked at Tang Xian.
Although he was in the Harmonious God Realm, he was not qualified to enter the Earth List because he did not fight with others all year round.
Moreover, this old eunuch's strength was definitely a famous existence on the Earth List, second only to those Yang God Realm experts!
Tang Xian snorted coldly and said indifferently, "Vice Hall Master Chen, where it is possible to let people off, one should spare them. This is not your Blue Blood Castle's Shannan Road. It is not up to you to be presumptuous here."
Shangguan Tang and Chen Tiandong looked coldly at Su Xin and Tang Xian. In the end, they could only turn around and leave without saying a word.
Among the Seven Gangs, their Blue Blood Castle's strength was enough to rank in the upper echelons. However, it was impossible for them to really go all out against the imperial court for the sake of Shangguan Tang's son.
Blue Blood Castle was overbearing and protective, but it also depended on the target.
In the past, Chu Bufan of the Sword Fighting Sect had challenged more than ten halls of Blue Blood Castle in a fit of anger. He had even provoked many Essence Soul Realm experts of Blue Blood Castle to make a move. However, when they encountered the Sword Fighting Sect at their peak, where the four great Sword Masters dominated the pugilistic world, they could only admit defeat.
After the life and death battle between the Sword Fighting Sect and the Chasing Corpse Sect, they began to decline. Blue Blood Castle wanted to take the opportunity to hit them when they were down. However, Meng Jingxian went alone to the main hall of Blue Blood Castle on Shannan Road and had a secret discussion with the main hall master, 'Nine Transformations God Monarch', Han Qianshan, for two hours. Sword Qi soared into the sky.
After Meng Jingxian left, Blue Blood Castle immediately withdrew all the forces they had against the Sword Fighting Sect. At the same time, Han Qianshan announced that he would go into seclusion for three years.
The current situation was the same as before. Tang Xian represented the imperial court. It would have been fine if he had not said anything, but once Tang Xian expressed his stance, be it Chen Tiandong or Shangguan Tang, they would not dare to continue being tough.
Su Xin cupped his hands at Tang Xian and said, "Thank you, Eunuch Tang, for your help."
Tang Xian said lazily, "Lord Su, there's no need to stand on ceremony. We're only doing this for the imperial court's reputation.
The people from Blue Blood Castle have gone overboard. We definitely won't stand by and watch. "
After the farce ended, Gao Changqing did not plan on continuing the fight in the arena. He stood behind Su Xin with a respectful attitude.
The other cultivators also clicked their tongues and sighed emotionally. At the very least, there was nothing wrong with Su Xin's attitude earlier.
Following such a lord, one would at least feel at ease, right?
Ji Yancheng returned angrily. Since Tang Xian had already made a move, he could only drop the matter.
Following this, the Luoyang Tournament naturally went on as usual. Su Xin did not participate much. He looked down on ordinary cultivators. Rather than recruiting them, he might as well nurture his own cultivators from the Jiangnan Path.
However, at this moment, a cultivator went up the arena and attracted Su Xin's attention.
This cultivator looked unremarkable, and his martial arts seemed rather ordinary. However, Su Xin sensed a scent from him. That scent was called corpse stench.
This cultivator had won two rounds in a row and was immediately recruited by Fang Duan.
It was not rare for a cultivator to win two rounds in a row. Moreover, there did not seem to be anything outstanding about his attacks.
Previously, Fang Duan had reached an agreement with Su Xin and Tie Wuqing that he would not fight for those outstanding talents. Therefore, when this seemingly ordinary cultivator was recruited by Fang Duan, Su Xin and Tie Wuqing naturally would not undermine him.
It was the same for Ji Yanyu and Ji Yancheng. The former had no enmity with the Six Fan School, and the latter was only targeting Su Xin and not the entire Six Fan School. Therefore, when Fang Duan opened his mouth, no one dared to snatch it from him.
However, in the next few rounds, Su Xin felt that something was amiss.
Among the cultivators who went up the arena, on average, there would be a cultivator with mediocre strength and corpse stench who was recruited by Fang Duan every few rounds.
One was a coincidence, but it was no longer a coincidence when there were too many.
Thinking back to when Fang Duan took the initiative to let them choose the cultivators first and not fight with them, it was clear that Fang Duan had done this on purpose.
He probably knew these cultivators from before. Now, he was just finding a reasonable reason for them to enter the Six Doors.
"Bring me the information on these cultivators," Su Xin ordered a constable beside him.
After a while, the constable from the Six Doors took out a stack of information. Su Xin glanced at it. It was very normal information. They were all rogue cultivators and there was almost no problem.
However, Su Xin found a few coincidences in this information. These cultivators were all from the Xiangxi Sect!
Thinking of Fang Duan's strange actions, the corpse stench on their bodies, and the fact that they were from Xiangxi, the three words "Chasing Corpse Sect" immediately appeared in Su Xin's mind.
Only the Chasing Corpse Sect from Xiangxi would have such a strong stench of corpses. Even though they had tried to cover it up and might be able to deceive ordinary warriors, the stench of corpses on their bodies had completely seeped into their bodies. It was impossible to hide from the senses of warriors in the Primordial Soul Realm.
Back then, the Chasing Corpse Sect had been badly injured by the Sword Fighting Sect. The sect leader had fallen, and the Mysterious Sky Golden Corpse that the Chasing Corpse Sect had kept for many years was destroyed. Even the sect's inherited treasure was said to have been damaged.
The Chasing Corpse Sect had been hiding in the dense forests of Xiangxi for such a long time. It was not easy for them to recover their vitality. Would they still dare to step into the martial world of the Central Plains?
One had to know that the hatred between the Sword Fighting Sect and the Chasing Corpse Sect had not dissipated. If the Sword Fighting Sect knew that the Chasing Corpse Sect had appeared again, they would definitely attack with all their might until the Chasing Corpse Sect was completely annihilated.
Su Xin also suspected that the Chasing Corpse Sect must have found a powerful backer.
This backer was definitely not the "Crimson Flying Dragon" Fang Jiuyuan.
Although Fang Jiuyuan was a Harmonious God realm cultivator and one of the four great constables of the Six Doors, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. He was not qualified for the Chasing Corpse Sect to rely on him.
Then the only explanation was that the Chasing Corpse Sect should be relying on King Chu, Ji Yanhao, who was behind Fang Jiuyuan. This time around, the Luoyang Arena was probably to whitewash the identity of the Chasing Corpse Sect's disciples to prevent them from being discovered by the Sword Fighting Sect.
However, this Ji Yanhao was really bold. The Chasing Corpse Sect and the Sword Fighting Sect would not rest until one of them was dead, and he actually dared to collude with the Chasing Corpse Sect. Was he not afraid of the Sword Fighting Sect's anger?
