Chapter 4060: The Fourth Participant Enters the Battlefield

At this time, the intermediate Emperor of Gods from the Feudal Lord Mansion’s Primal Flame Sect had already sent a Voice Transmission to the sect to report what had happened. This matter concerned the entire sect, after all.
The people of the Primal Flame Sect had long forgotten about the Tuo Ba clan after they annihilated the clan. However, they did not expect a survivor from the Tuo Ba clan would appear at this time.
“The prodigy whom the top forces in the Underworld Mansion collectively cultivated is a survivor from the Tuo Ba clan?” the Sect Leader of the Primal Flame Sect asked, shocked.
“That’s right. In the beginning, I didn’t think too much about it when I heard her surname. After all, it was not an exclusive surname that only exists in our Feudal Lord Mansion. Who knew she’d turn out to be the survivor from the Tuo Ba clan?”
The people from the Primal Flame Mansion did not think too much when they heard Tuo Ba Xiu’s name in the beginning. They only thought she was the young prodigy whom the top forces in the Underworld Mansion collectively cultivated. Unexpectedly, such a person was the survivor of the clan they had annihilated back then. There was no doubt about this since the Blood Phoenix Bloodline was exclusive to the Tuo Ba clan.
“If she were just an ordinary cultivator, we could turn a blind eye and let her go. However, with the potential and strength that she displayed at such a young age, we can’t let her go. She’s like a ticking time bomb. What would happen in another 10,000 years? At that time, she might have already grown strong enough to deal with our sect! She must die!”
“Kill her at all cost! No one in our sect will be a match for her after another 10,000 years. We need to nip this problem in the bud. In another 20,000 years, she might even be capable of breaking our sect’s Guarding Formation. We need to get rid of her. Otherwise, our sect will suffer a disaster in the future!”
“She must die!”
When the intermediate Emperor of Gods from the Primal Flame Sect, who was at the venue of the Seven Mansions Feast, received the Voice Transmission from his peers back in the Primal Flame Sect’s estate, he felt a sense of helplessness. He naturally agreed that Tuo Ba Xiu had to die. However, what could he do when there was only one of him against three intermediate Emperors of Gods from the Underworld Mansion now?
Put everything else aside, what could one Primal Flame Sect do against the three top forces in the Underworld Mansion?
When the intermediate Emperor of Gods from the Underworld Mansion’s Yuwen clan heard the words of the intermediate Emperor of Gods from the Primal Flame Sect, he said coldly, “Bast*rd child? Fang Yi Lin, mind your words. I advise you to behave yourself. Tuo Ba Xiu is from our Underworld Mansion. We’re not afraid of your Primitive Flame Sect.”
The intermediate Emperors of Gods from the other two top forces in the Underworld Mansion chimed in as well.
“Fang Yi Lin, we’re aware of the enmity between your sect and the Tuo Ba clan. Indeed, we were previously unaware that she’s a survivor of the Tuo Ba clan. However, now that we know, we’ll still protect her.”
“You’ll have to get past her if you want to kill her!”
The three intermediate Emperors of Gods from the Underworld Mansion not only guarded Tuo Ba Xiu, but they had also sent Voice Transmissions back to their respective forces, asking for reinforcements. They knew the Primal Flame Sect would not easily let go of Tuo Ba Xiu.
Considering how adamant the three top forces from the Underworld Mansion were about protecting Tuo Ba Xiu and considering the number of onlookers, Fang Yi Lin, the intermediate Emperor of Gods from the Primal Flame Sect, could only retreat with a dark expression on his face for now.
Seeing this, the three intermediate Emperors of Gods from the Underworld Mansion scoffed coldly and returned to their seats as well. Nonetheless, they did not let their guard down and continued to keep an eye on the people of the Primal Flame Sect. They were prepared to make a move as soon as the other party made a move.
At the same time, Lin Yuan had long left the battlefield, but Tuo Ba Xiu was still standing on the battlefield in a daze.
‘I… I, I’m from the Tuo Ba clan? The Primal Flame Sect annihilated the Tuo Ba clan? Mother didn’t tell me about this…’ Tuo Ba Xiu’s expression was one of shock and disbelief as well. In fact, just like everyone else, she was unaware that she was from the Tuo Ba clan. She also did not know that the Blood Phoenix Bloodline, the bloodline power she awakened, was unique to the direct descendants of the Feudal Lord Mansion’s Tuo Ba clan. Needless to say, she also did not know that the Tuo Ba clan was annihilated by the Primal Flame Sect back then. If she had known, she would have been merciless to the participants from the Primal Flame Sect.
At this time, Lin Dong Lai said, “Leave the battlefield please.”
Lin Dong Lai could naturally tell that Tuo Ba Xiu was also unaware of her identity before. Perhaps, if she did not awaken the Blood Phoenix Bloodline, she would never know her background.
At this time, the intermediate Emperor of Gods from the Yuwen clan looked at Tuo Ba Xiu affectionately and said through Voice Transmission, “Girl, come back.”
He had raised Tuo Ba Xiu since she was young, after all. Most of the disciples in his faction were male. Perhaps, this was why he and his disciples all treated her very well. No one dared to bully her. Conversely, they would stand up for her if outsiders bullied her. However, she had grown so strong now that she was capable of standing up for herself.
Everyone could see how shaken Tuo Ba Xiu was by the revelation as she rejoined the people from the Underworld Mansion’s Yuwen clan. It was clear she was among the last to find out about her identity. While the others raised a furor when she used the Blood Phoenix Bloodline, she was still ignorantly fighting Lin Yuan.
“It seems like even Tuo Bai Xiu was unaware of her identity. I bet no one expected that her shocking identity would be revealed during the Seven Mansions Feast. Moreover, the Primal Flame Sect also had enmity with her clan!”
“Look! It’s obvious the people from the Primal Flame Sect are feeling anxious! You really can see that they really can’t wait to kill her. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have made a move earlier in front of so many people.”
“That’s right. Fortunately, the Underworld Mansion protected her earlier. However, if the Primal Flame Sect offers the right price, do you think the Underworld Mansion will hand over?”
“I doubt it. This time, even if she doesn’t rank in the top three, she’ll obtain two slots to enter the Secret Holy Realm for the Underworld Mansion.”
“Hmm, how are the three top forces in the Underworld Mansion going to divide two slots between them if she doesn’t rank in the top three?”
At this time, Duan Ling Tian shook his head. He looked away from Tuo Ba Xiu as he thought to himself, ‘Originally, it should be a good thing that she awakened her Blood Phoenix Bloodline during the Seven Mansions Feast. However, it seems like it’s not necessarily a good thing.’
Duan Ling Tian did not particularly sympathize with Tuo Ba Xiu, but he still thought she was innocent in this matter. She was not even aware of her own identity, after all. Not only that, but it was clear the Underworld Mansion was not lying when they said they were also unaware of it.
‘Perhaps, if she didn’t awaken the Blood Phoenix Bloodline, her identity would have remained a secret forever…’
Life was unpredictable. In just a moment, Tuo Ba Xiu, who revealed the Blood Phoenix Bloodline, would no longer be able to live a peaceful life, not unless the Primal Flame Sect was annihilated. She and the Primal Flame Sect were destined to fight to the death.
Even if Tuo Ba Xiu swore on the Devil Heart’s Blood Oath to not seek revenge from the Primal Flame Sect, the Primal Sect Flame still likely would not let her go. Perhaps, she was only an ordinary cultivator, they might turn a blind eye to her existence. However, with how outstanding she was, it was impossible for them to let her go.
As Tuo Ba Xiu grew stronger, the people she would meet and the force she joined would naturally be very strong. Moreover, with her beauty and talent, it was not impossible for a powerful person from a supreme-rank force to fall in love with her. What would happen if such a person sought revenge from the Primal Flame Sect.
How could the Primal Flame Sect allow such a huge threat to live? They would only be at ease once she died.
At this moment, no one could see the expression of Tuo Ba Xiu, who was standing among the people from the Underworld Mansion’s Yuwen clan, since half her face was hidden by a veil.
At the same time, not only did the high-ranking officials from the Primal Flame Sect have dark expressions on their faces, but even the young disciples looked gloomy. After all, the appearance of this enemy would affect them as well. She definitely would not spare them if she faced them.
As for Duan Ling Tian, his attention had now returned to Lin Yuan.
‘Lin Yuan is really strong. Although Tuo Ba Xiu just awakened her Blood Phoenix Bloodline, causing it to be unstable, it boosted her strength greatly. Her strength was much greater than what she’d displayed during her fight with Yuan Mo Yu. However, even so, Lin Yuan easily defeated her.”
Tuo Ba Xiu had used her bloodline power as well during her fight with Yuan Mo Yu, but at the time, her bloodline power had yet to evolve. In the Realms of Gods, there were quite a few bloodline powers that were capable of evolving under specific circumstances. Every time they evolved, they would boost one’s strength greatly.
At this time, Lin Dong Lai said loudly, “Participant number four, please enter the battlefield.”
With this, everyone’s eyes shifted their eyes away from Tuo Ba Xiu to Yuan Mo Yu, the participant from the Green Province Mansion’s Howling Heaven Sect. Previously, he had defeated Tuo Ba Xiu although they were evenly matched due to her error in judgment.
After entering the battlefield, Luo Yuan’s eyes quickly found his target.
“I challenge participant number three.”
The third participant was Luo Yuan from the Divine Morning Mansion’s Autumn Leaves Sect, whom the top forces in the Divine Morning Mansion collectively cultivated just like Tuo Ba Xiu from the Underworld Mansion. When he entered the battlefield, his face was ashen, and his body swayed slightly. It was obvious that he had not recovered from the severe injuries he suffered yesterday. It was good enough that he healed about 60% to 70% of his injuries, and he was only able to do so due to the continuous supply of healing divine pills from the top forces in the Divine Morning Mansion. If it were not for the divine pills, he would be lucky to heal 30% of his injuries in such a short time.
“Han Di…”
After entering the battlefield, Luo Yuan’s eyes swept toward those from the Consonance Mansion’s United Heaven Sect before they landed on Han Di. His eyes shone with hatred. Due to his carelessness and Han Di’s deceit, he was struck heavily twice. Although he knew he was to blame for his carelessness, he still could not help but hate Han Di for being so despicable. How could Han Di be so shameless?
