Many members of the Shi Family did not know that Ancestor Yanshi had used Tianshui City and the Myriad Phenomena Hall to threaten Qin Hao into helping Shi Youbing.
But that did nothing to dampen their hopes for Shi Youbing.
Shi Youbing had finally climbed to a rank just above one thousand... In the Five Directions Worlds, that was already an outstanding result.
It made them wonder: with more than a month left in the Elimination Round, perhaps Shi Youbing could even reach the Top Hundred.

All those hopes had gone up in smoke. It was not that Shi Youbing had no chance of reaching the Top Hundred, but that chance had become vanishingly small.
"How dare he!!!"
Inside the hall, Ancestor Yanshi roared, his voice thick with murderous intent.
Everyone flinched. The Shi Family disciples looked at Ancestor Yanshi in terror, and the entire hall fell deathly silent.
No one dared speak.
"He dared defy me!"
Ancestor Yanshi's eyes were faintly bloodshot. He had thought that once Shi Youbing encountered Qin Hao, his rank would only keep rising. Who could have known...
Qin Hao had slain Shi Youbing without a moment's hesitation!

As for Tianshui City...
He planned to wait until the Azure Flame Grand Tournament ended, then make Qin Hao watch his family and friends perish before his eyes.
The Southern Reach lay far
