As soon as Xiao Xuan finished speaking, everyone present looked at each other in surprise. After a few breaths, shouts immediately rang out.
"I... I'm willing to go in. Let me open up that passage!"
"Me too! I want to go in!"
"..."
Faced with this situation, Xiao Xuan frowned and opened his mouth, but the words he was about to utter were easily drowned out by the shouts of the crowd.
"Shut up, all of you!"
Immediately afterward, Hai Zhantian let out a loud shout, and a terrifying pressure descended upon the heads of everyone behind him. The crowd, who had been arguing incessantly just a moment ago, fell silent in an instant. Seeing this, Xiao Yan and Xiao Xuan couldn't help but marvel inwardly. It's so good to have strength. No matter what you do, it's convenient. You don't have to worry about anything when you speak. On the contrary, people have to listen to you.
"Didn't you all hear what the master said? Only one person can enter, and their cultivation level must be below the Origin Transformation Realm. You bunch of old geezers, your strength is neither high nor low, how do you think you can get in!"
Seeing that everyone was quiet, Hai Zhantian finally spoke up with a dark expression and started cursing. Everyone behind him lowered their heads in fear, not even daring to look at him.
After a long while, the current patriarchs of the Sea Flood Dragon Clan and the Sea Shark Clan, standing at the front of the crowd behind them, exchanged a glance, then hesitantly raised their heads to look at Hai Zhantian. The red-haired Sea Flood Dragon Clan patriarch spoke first, respectfully saying:
"Senior Hai, since that's the case, why not choose one of the Dou Di experts accompanying my Sea Flood Dragon Clan? These people are all from the Abyss Hall of my Sea Flood Dragon Clan, and their combat strength is definitely top-notch among experts of the same level. Since you have already helped us invite the formation master, then leave the task of opening the entrance to the Undersea Void Realm to us."
As he spoke, the middle-aged man waved his hand, and instantly, twenty people quickly crossed the crowd and came to his side, bowing respectfully to Hai Zhantian in front of him.
Turning back, Hai Zhantian's gaze swept over the twenty people one by one. Twenty Nine-Star Dou Di, such a team was not bad.
"Senior Hai, please feel free to choose. These twenty people are all from my Abyss Hall..."
"No need, not a single one of them will do."
However, before the middle-aged man could finish speaking, Hai Zhantian said with a disdainful look. Instantly, not only the middle-aged man, but also the group of the Sea Flood Dragon Clan leaders behind him, all turned ashen-faced.
These twenty individuals, while not considered powerful, are absolutely formidable at the Dou Di level. It can be said that almost no one at the same level can rival them. This is due to the Sea Flood Dragon Clan's brutal selection system, where those who emerge victorious through bloodshed are so strong that even the younger generation of the Sea Shark Clan must admire them.
However, Hai Zhantian's words struck these people like a blow, instantly igniting a fire of resentment and anger.
"Father, the vice-captain of our Sea Shark Clan's Black Shark Troop is also with us. Why don't we let him give it a try?"
Then, the middle-aged man in blue robes next to the red-haired man couldn't help but smile awkwardly. He glanced at the person next to him before letting out a dry laugh at Hai Zhantian.
Upon hearing this, the faces of the leaders of the Sea Flood Dragon Clan immediately darkened. So, the reason Hai Zhantian said that the people of their Abyss Hall were no good was that he only trusted his own clansmen.
Immediately, someone else couldn't help but shout it out.
" Sea Tribe, I've heard that your Black Shark Troop's vice-captain, despite his young age, already possesses the cultivation of Late-Stage Nine-Star Dou Di. In that case, why not have our two families spar a little, to see if our Abyss Hall members have the strength to enter the Undersea Void Realm? If they do, then let our Abyss Hall..."
" Elder Huan, that's not what I meant, I just..."
"Enough! All of you shut up! I don't need any of these people. There's someone here who's more suitable than any of them."
Before the two behind him could finish speaking, Hai Zhantian shouted impatiently. Instantly, the two behind him fell silent. At the same time, Xiao Yan, who was standing next to Xiao Xuan, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. He seemed to have guessed who Hai Zhantian was talking about.
Sure enough, the latter's gaze immediately fell on him, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. Hai Zhantian, however, stepped forward with a smile and said:
"Little one, I'm counting on you for this."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan could only smile wryly. Since they had already put it this way, it would be a shame if he didn't step in. In addition, Hai Mochen was involved, so he probably had to take action.
"Since you've said so, senior, I will certainly do my best."
After a slight hesitation, Xiao Yan nodded solemnly. He knew that since Hai Zhantian had chosen him without much thought, he must have absolute confidence in him. Now, the burden of this matter had fallen on his shoulders again!
"Senior, let him go? How can that be? Putting aside the fact that he's not a member of our Sea Tribe, just based on his mere Seven-Star Dou Di cultivation, anyone from our Abyss Hall could easily crush him. Letting him go would be tantamount to disregarding the future of our Sea Tribe!"
"Senior Hai, this matter concerns the future of our Sea Tribe. It is a matter of great importance, and I hope you will reconsider!"
"Father, this..."
In an instant, not only the leaders of the two clans, but even the two clan chiefs spoke up again to stop it. The calls to stop them grew louder and louder, and Hai Zhantian's face turned gloomy once more.
However, at that very moment, Xiao Yan, who was standing to the side, narrowed his eyes, a smile on his lips, and his figure flickered slightly, appearing in front of the twenty people from the Abyss Hall in an instant.
Completely ignoring the shouts from the Sea Tribe leaders behind him, his sharp gaze swept over the twenty people, then he smiled and said:
"Since you are all among the best of the Dou Di powerhouses, how about this: we have a simple match. Within three rounds, if you can even touch the hem of my robe, I will voluntarily withdraw from the matter of the Undersea Void Realm."
The moment those calm words were spoken, not only the twenty Nine-Star Dou Di of the Abyss Hall before them, but also the Sea Tribe leaders behind them, all changed their expressions.
"Hmph, arrogant human brat! The affairs of my Sea Tribe are none of your business. We don't need them all to attack us. If you can withstand even one of my moves, we will naturally submit!"
Among the twenty people from the Abyss Hall, a powerful expert at the Late-Stage Nine-Star Dou Di stepped out with a ferocious expression, and his extremely cold voice followed.
