Outside Forbidden Zone, Organizing Committee Square.
The picture on the light screen shook for the last time and froze.
Signals in all areas are restored simultaneously.
The picture is dazzlingly clear.
Leaderboard hangs on the top, and the number Northern Territory Military Region representing the team stops there, motionless.
7,650,000.
Thousands of people stared at that number.
No one spoke.
There wasn't even a cough.
Chief Referee Old Man Chen The hand holding the communicator was hanging in the air, and his lips moved twice but made no sound.
He has been a referee for thirty years, held seven competitions, and has seen no less than a hundred geniuses.
7.65 million.
Second place Nanjiang, eighty-seven thousand.
The difference is almost ninety times.
The communicator is still buzzing. Core Zone's signal has been disconnected for a while. Duan Hongyuan has not been contacted since entering.
Old Man Chen is about to dial again.
A dragon roar came from the sky.
Low, long, coming from the direction of the skyline.
Everyone looked up at the same time.
There was a crack in the clouds.
A dark purple dragon body of more than 100 meters emerged from the gap in the clouds, followed closely by Thunder Abyss Vulture with its wingspan spread out.
The two Martial Saint-level Exotic Beasts pressed down from high altitude toward the square, one behind the other.
The power of Martial Saint-level beasts is overwhelming.
The military dogs stationed around the square all lay down, with their paws on the ground, and weak whines coming from their throats. Two of them peed directly.
Several Martial Venerable level referees subconsciously took a step back, and the color on their faces faded.
The dragon shadow is getting closer and closer.
Lin Feng stands above the dragon's head, and Crimson Gold Spear carries it on his shoulders.
The combat uniform on his body had several tears, his right sleeve was completely torn off, and there were blood marks on his exposed forearm.
Duan Hongyuan stood two meters behind him, with his hands behind his back.
Earth Dragon aimed its four claws at the center of the square and smashed it down.
Boom!
Half of the high platform was broken.
Stones flew in all directions, and two tables in front of Referee Stand were overturned by the air wave.
The shock of the dragon's body falling to the ground spread from the soles of his feet, and all the people in the first three rows of the square were forced to take several steps back.
Fierce Vulture landed in the open space on the east side of the square, folded its wings, and thunder arcs crackled and dissipated from the feathers.
The whole place was dead silent.
There were thousands of people, but no one made a sound.
Lin Feng jumped down from the dragon head.
Stepping on the gravel makes a crunching sound.
He walked up to Referee Stand, took out Points Tablet from his pocket, and let go.
Snap.
Points Tablet fell on the referee's table
7,650,000.
The numbers are dazzlingly bright.
"Northern Territory Clearance completed."
Lin Feng's voice was not loud, but Amplification Array in the square let out every word.
"Let's settle."
Old Man Chen's Adam's apple moved.
He looked down at Points Tablet, then looked up at the two people who got off the dragon's back.
Duan Hongyuan's complexion was very poor, and the blood stains on the corners of his mouth were not wiped off, but he stood very straight.
Old Man Chen took a deep breath and was about to speak.
"Wait a minute!"
On the right side of Referee Stand, Bai Wangshu stood up suddenly.
He kicked the chair back half a meter and hit the legs of the table in the back.
He pointed at Lin Feng and raised his voice very high.
"Lin Feng! You, a Martial Venerable contestant, control two Martial Saint-level Exotic Beasts. This in itself is a serious violation!"
His fingers were shaking, but his voice was strong.
"Moreover, the time when Core Zone Beast Tide broke out exactly matches the time when you entered Core Zone! Why do you rule out suspicion? What if you were the cause of this Beast Tide?"
There began to be whispers in the square.
Several representatives of the aristocratic families who did not know what was going on exchanged glances with each other.
Someone whispered, "Indeed, a Martial Venerable, how can you ride Martial Saint Exotic Beast..."
Bai Wangshu's confidence has increased.
He took a step forward, lowered his voice, and pretended to be doing something official.
"I propose that until the incident is fully investigated, Lin Feng be temporarily detained and all Northern Territory's points frozen. If it is verified that Beast Tide was indeed caused by him, criminal prosecution must be pursued..."
Lin Feng turned his head and glanced at him.
Just one glance.
Bai Wangshu's words were stuck in his throat.
Lin Feng said nothing.
He put his hand into Storage Ring and touched it for two seconds.
He took out two things.
Throw it casually at Bai Wangshu's feet.
Gululu.
The two heads rolled twice on the ground and stopped in front of the toes of Bai Wangshu's boots.
He had a thin, narrow face, and his eyes were wide open when he died.
He had a broad face, thick eyebrows, the incision on his neck was flat, and the blood on the cross section had turned black.
Bai Xiao.
Bai He.
Bai Family Heaven-Grade Twin Martial Saints.
Bai Wangshu's mouth is still open. The first half of the sentence is hanging on his lips, but the second half can no longer be said.
His legs became weak.
He stumbled back two steps, knocked his knees on the edge of the chair, and fell down.
The blood on his face faded completely.
The whispers in the square also stopped.
Everyone's eyes moved away from Points Tablet and fell on the two heads.
Those who recognized it took a breath of cold air, while those who didn't recognized it were also frightened by the breath of death.
Lin Feng looked at Bai Wangshu.
"You Bai Family people are tough-talking when you're alive, but you're quite quiet when you're dead."
Bai Wangshu's lips are trembling.
He wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth twice, but no sound came out.
Bai Xiao and Bai He are Bai Family's top Martial Saint combat power.
Bai Yong counts itself as one, and these two count as two.
The reason why Bai Family can maintain its popularity in the Beijing aristocratic family circle is because of the "three Martial Saint" brand.
Now two pieces of the sign have been smashed.
Just throw it under his feet.
Lin Feng no longer looks at him.
Duan Hongyuan stepped off the dragon's back.
Martial Emperor's aura was not completely restrained, and a layer of golden Gale Qi overflowed from the body surface.
The entire space of the square was locked by his energy and blood, and even the wind could not move.
He walked directly in front of Referee Stand and stopped.
"The competition ends here."
Duan Hongyuan's voice is a bit hoarse. He just drank energy and blood for more than an hour in front of the stone platform, which consumed a lot of energy.
But the weight of each word has not diminished.
"Now, let's settle the score."
He took out two things from Storage Ring.
The first thing is a broken bone.
The surface is burnt black, with dark golden lines remaining.
The second one is a half-broken jade piece Communication Talisman.
The Bai Family logo on the face of the charm is clear.
Duan Hongyuan placed the broken bones and Communication Talisman on the referee's table.
"Hundred Thousand Mountains Core Zone, Dragon Suppressing Platform Dui Position Altar, were blown up from the inside by someone using Bai Family's Formation Breaking Talisman. The last command left in Communication Talisman was issued by Song Jiao of East Sea Military Region."
He raised his hand and poured his spiritual power into Communication Talisman.
Song Jiao's voice came out from the broken talisman surface, intermittent, but every word could be heard clearly.
"...Dui Position has been destroyed...Dragon Vein is loose, notify the owner... prepare Reception Array."
The sound echoed several times in the square.
Quiet.
It is quieter than when Earth Dragon landed just now.
On VIP Stand, Song Zhenkun's hands are tightly holding the chair.
Duan Hongyuan glanced over.
"Song Jiao, a contestant recommended by East Sea Military Region. After entering Forbidden Zone, he used living people to ripen Earth Vein Dragon Lotus and massacre other contestants."
He paused.
"These are on the surface. Secretly, Song Jiao took Bai Family's Formation Breaking Talisman and destroyed Dui Position Altar. Dragon Suppressing Platform's seal loosened, Dragon Vein awakened, and Beast Tide broke out."
Duan Hongyuan's finger tapped the broken bone on the table.
"The lines on Formation Breaking Talisman are Bai Family's unique rune system. Bai Family's things are used by Song Jiao. When did East Sea and Bai Family get so close?"
Song Zhenkun stood up.
His legs were shaking, but he stood up.
"General Duan, Song Jiao's behavior is his personal..."
"Personal?"
Duan Hongyuan interrupted him.
"The candidate recommended by East Sea Military Region, the pass issued by East Sea Military Region, and the stamp stamped by East Sea Military Region. In Forbidden Zone, he used living people to make elixirs, massacre contestants, and blow up ancient seals. Tell me, is this a personal act?"
Song Zhenkun's mouth is closed.
Duan Hongyuan did not continue to force him.
He turned to face the entire square and raised his voice by half a degree.
"Dragon Suppressing Platform is a sealing formation left in ancient times. It suppresses Dragon Vein Remnant deep in the Hundred Thousand Mountains leyline. Eight Blood Bone Altars supply blood to the outside to maintain the suppression. Bai Family instructs Song Jiao to destroy one of them. What is the purpose?"
No one answered.
Duan Hongyuan took it himself.
"Dragon Vein wakes up, and the energy and blood rush back to the surface. The entire Hundred Thousand Mountains becomes a natural Blood Pool. This level of earth blood essence and blood can only be refined and absorbed by Martial Emperor level exercises."
He pointed his hand in the direction of Bai Wangshu.
"How many years has Bai Yong been stuck in Martial Saint Peak? Fifteen years? Twenty years? In order to let him break through Martial Emperor, you Bai Family did not hesitate to destroy the ancient seal, trigger Beast Tide, and let hundreds of people in Forbidden Zone die."
Bai Wangshu was sitting on a chair, his face as white as paper.
He touched his hand under the table twice, as if he wanted to take out a communicator to contact the outside world.
One press of Gale Qi from Duan Hongyuan.
Bai Wangshu's hand stopped.
"Don't bother." Duan Hongyuan's voice was calm. "The 500-meter radius of the square has been sealed. Communication signals cannot get out."
Bai Wangshu's hand retracted.
Old Man Chen stood up at this time.
He picked up the broken bones and Communication Talisman on the table, looked at them over and over twice, and poured his mental energy into Communication Talisman to listen to them again.
"The physical evidence is conclusive."
Old Man Chen put down his things and looked at Duan Hongyuan.
"General Duan, according to Military Regulations and the rules of the competition, the nature of this matter is no longer a violation. Deliberately destroying the ancient seal, triggering Beast Tide, and endangering the safety of the participating personnel-this is a treason-level felony."
