Boom!
A violent wave of energy swept across the entire Square in an instant, flinging countless people into the air. Among those fighting on the battle platforms, anyone with weak Cultivation was reduced to ash by the terrifying shock wave. Even the platforms themselves shattered under the impact.
And that was the power of just one Golden Meteor Tear exploding. The Square was packed with people; there was no telling how many the blast had killed.
"Ahhh..."
Cries of anguish filled the Square. In an instant, it had become the Ruins.
"What happened?"
The survivors were stunned. None of them had expected an explosion so powerful.
Ye Mian had been stunned by the blast too. He steadied himself and looked toward its source. The VIP stands had vanished completely, leaving a huge crater in the ground. Many of the Ye Family Saints who had been sitting beside him were dead.
Ye Mian had survived because of the treasure he carried: the Ye Family's Patriarch Token. It was a special Supreme Emperor Weapon called the Xuanhuang Token, left behind by the Xuanhuang Great Emperor. Though it was a Supreme Emperor Weapon, its protective range was tiny. Its chief purpose was to safeguard the Ye Family Head.
Without the Xuanhuang Token, Ye Mian would have been gravely wounded by that explosion, if not killed outright.
Ye Mian could hardly believe someone had dared attack him during their tournament in Xuanhuang City. It was tantamount to declaring war on the Ye Family.
Without a doubt, the Glazed Sword Sect had done this.
After all, as Ye Mian saw it, the Glazed Sword Sect was the only force in the entire Human Race that dared strike at the Ye Family.
"Protect the Family Head!"
The other Ye Family Saints who had survived finally reacted.
