" The Blood Stone shattered, Xiao Yan lost his qualification for the Clan Ritual!"
Just as the atmosphere in the arena froze, Xiao Dingtian's loud shout suddenly rang out, causing the stunned crowd to quickly come to their senses. Immediately afterward, regretful gazes fell upon Xiao Yan.
The shattering of the Blood Stone is indeed a common occurrence in previous Blood Stone tests. Based on past experience, such individuals are usually those with weak bloodline power. This is because their ordinary bloodline power is rejected by the Blood Stone during the fusion process, causing their violent energy to be unable to be calmed down, resulting in the shattering of the Blood Stone.
However, it is indeed a strange thing that the Blood Stone would shatter into countless fragments like today.
In other words, what kind of inferior bloodline could cause the Blood Stone to explode out of thin air?
While everyone was puzzled and surprised, Xiao Yuheng and the others turned their attention to Xiao Dingtian, their eyes filled with disdain.
Perhaps some people here will believe what is happening before their eyes, but as members of the family's senior ranks who have presided over numerous Clan Ritual, they can see through the deception at a glance. In the end, it is nothing more than a trick by Xiao Dingtian.
It must have been Xiao Dingtian who tampered with the Blood Stone, causing Xiao Yan to fail the test in front of everyone. Xiao Dingtian was able to take advantage of this and openly erase Xiao Yan's qualification as a Clan Ritual. As for Xiao Yuheng and the others, they had no evidence and therefore could not overturn the current result. If they tried to argue with them, with these two people present and all the others, they would probably give them a pretext to criticize them!
This move is truly a fatal blow!
"Even with your extraordinary talent, you still can't overcome the prejudice this family holds against you!"
Xiao Feng narrowed his eyes and sighed with regret. At this moment, even Xiao Chuhang, who had always harbored hatred towards Xiao Yan, frowned. He couldn't believe that this guy, who had even defeated his own brother, would be blocked here.
However, the situation was irreversible, and Xiao Yan lost this round.
"Hmph, since you've already lost your eligibility, then leave on your own. If you affect others, you won't be able to bear the consequences."
Xiao Dingtian smiled smugly and then ordered Xiao Yan to leave the ancestral hall.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan simply stood there, stunned, his eyes darting around. He hadn't expected this guy to have such a trick up his sleeve. Even after racking his brains, he felt somewhat helpless.
"How despicable! You shameless old geezer, with your old bones, you actually dare to pick a fight with a young man! If I were younger, I would definitely teach you a lesson!"
Outside the crowd, Xiao Mingyuan, his face grim, finally lost his temper. He had been holding back because Xiao Yuheng was present, but now, seeing Xiao Dingtian's smug look, his anger finally erupted. He took a few steps forward, ready to unleash his fury on the latter, but was immediately stopped by Xiao Yuehua and the other two who had caught up with him.
"Third brother, rules are rules. No matter what, Xiao Yan has already lost the right to stay here. If you make a move in the ancestral hall, be careful of punishment according to the clan rules."
Xiao Yuehua raised her eyebrows and spoke sharply.
"Don't give me that crap. If I were afraid, I wouldn't be here. Get out of here!"
Xiao Mingyuan frowned and raised his sleeves sharply, intending to knock Xiao Yuehua back.
"Third Elder!"
Just then, Xiao Yan suddenly shouted, and Xiao Yan's hand movements also paused.
Turning back, Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly and said with a wry smile:
"No need, I'll leave."
Having said that, ignoring Xiao Mingyuan's suddenly changed expression, he turned to Xiao Dingtian and shouted with a face full of disdain:
"You win, I'm leaving."
Upon hearing this, even someone as composed as Xiao Dingtian couldn't help but be slightly taken aback, and at the same time, a strange sense of loss rose in his heart.
The wild boy who appeared out of nowhere had finally lost to him, but at this moment, Xiao Dingtian felt no joy of victory, and the resentment he had harbored for so long inexplicably dissipated in an instant.
The moment Xiao Yan turned around, Xiao Feng, who was in the crowd, casually tossed aside the Blood Stone in his hand and turned to look at the man in front of him.
Next, Xiao Lei and Xiao Zhuobin released the Blood Stone in their palms, letting them flicker on their own. Most of the people present who were related to Xiao Yan turned their gazes toward the latter.
Xiao Yuehua and Xiao Ming scanned the entire room, and looking at Xiao Dingtian now, he seemed more like a lonely figure.
"Buzz!"
However, at that very moment, as everyone's attention shifted, a dazzling golden light suddenly burst forth from somewhere in the crowd, instantly condensing into a golden pillar that soared straight to the heavens, covering the entire area in an instant!
This sudden turn of events caused a dramatic change in the expressions of everyone present. Xiao Yuheng and the others almost instantly turned their gazes toward the source of the dazzling light, their hands clenching involuntarily beneath their sleeves, their eyes fixed on the radiant light, their hearts filled with an almost explosive excitement and anticipation.
The golden light shone brightly, without any other color. This extraordinary phenomenon, this scene before our eyes, is exactly what the entire Xiao Clan has been looking forward to!
"This... this is... the Radiant Gold Bloodline!"
Everyone present stared in awe at the dazzling light before them, their eyes stinging, yet they could not suppress the fervor and excitement in their hearts. At this moment, almost everyone present took a deep breath. Even Xiao Ming, whose face was as cold as iron, stared blankly at the scene before him.
The Radiant Gold Bloodline signifies that a remarkable individual has emerged within the Xiao Clan, qualified to challenge for the legendary Emperor's Throne!
"A rise is possible! A rise for my Xiao Clan is possible!"
Xiao Yuheng couldn't help but burst into laughter. Even though it was only a first-tier qualification, that alone was what the family had been hoping for for many years, and what many powerful people longed for but could not obtain!
Now, the Xiao Clan is shining brightly. As long as they can nurture this person with the full strength of the clan, the day when the Xiao Clan stands at the top of the continent is just around the corner!
"Quick! Quickly identify who that is. From today onwards, he will be personally instructed by the ten elders, and no one else may..."
Before Xiao Yuheng could finish speaking, the golden light gradually receded. But the face that was then revealed to everyone made the expressions on everyone's faces freeze instantly, and the words that were about to be spoken were abruptly cut off at this moment.
"Xiao... Xiao Xuan..."
Xiao Dingtian's heart skipped a beat, followed by a surge of disbelief. His Elder Zhang turned pale and then flushed, and as he swallowed, he coughed up a mouthful of blood. His body convulsed involuntarily a few times before he fell backward to the ground.
In the arena, Xiao Xuan held the Blood Stone, extinguishing the last wisp of golden light on it. He calmly swept his gaze over everyone, and finally, he and Xiao Yan smiled at each other.
