Chapter 401

A burst of blue light erupted from the seawater, blinding everyone.

When the light faded, a middle-aged figure with long, sea-blue hair and a deep, composed aura emerged.

However, this person's appearance is rather unusual.

His body was like that of deep seawater, in a state of flux.

"Chief!"

Upon seeing the newcomer, the blue-haired middle-aged man exclaimed as if he had seen a savior, "The Elite of the Petrel Nation are all in the maze, and our next heir of the Daoton Family is also trapped inside!"

Please think of a way to get them out!

Upon hearing the word 'patriarch,' the surrounding powerful figures all subtly changed their expressions, realizing the identity of this person.

This person is the founder of the Daoton Family and the only remaining Grandmaster Rank expert in the Petrel Nation!

"There's no need to rescue them."

The blue-haired Grandmaster spoke, his voice seemingly echoing from the depths of the ocean. "I sensed earlier that a power of a similar bloodline was dissipating."

"This Elite has likely been completely wiped out."

Upon hearing these words, the powerful figures from the three great nations were struck dumb!

They weren't trapped in a maze, but rather all perished?

They instinctively felt that it was fake.

But these are the words of a Grandmaster Rank expert, and there is an important heir of the Daoton Family among them. The other party would never make a hasty conclusion on such a matter.

"The entire army wiped out?" a Master from the Earth Bear Nation asked in bewilderment. "Did they offend some forbidden being in the maze, resulting in their complete annihilation?"

"Impossible!" the blue-haired middle-aged man immediately retorted, "No matter how dangerous the Spiral Labyrinth is, there are at most Tier Four monsters inside."

"Unless Grandmaster Realm monster appears, who can deal with them?"

There's definitely something fishy about this!

He raised his head, his bloodshot eyes fixed on the figure. "Patriarch, please intervene and uncover the truth behind the deaths of our Daoton Family's Elite!"

In the air, the figure formed from flowing water nodded slightly. "Don't worry, I'll find out."

"Whoever dares to lay a hand on our family heir will pay the price."

His cold gaze swept across the crowd, then he took out a clear glass bottle containing half a bottle of red liquid, which looked like blood.

Then, the Grandmaster condensed a drop of azure liquid from his body and fused it with the liquid in the bottle.

"Buzz—"

The energies of the two forces collided and merged, unleashing a mysterious soul aura.

Amidst the stunned gazes of the crowd, the two drops of liquid began to flow, gradually transforming into a blurry human-shaped outline.

Judging from his appearance, he bears an uncanny resemblance to Lachlan.

"This is the Bloodline Resonance Secret Technique."

An India Master murmured, "By fusing the blood of a loved one with one's own blood, the remnant soul can be temporarily united."

"In this way, we can find out what the deceased experienced before his death and identify the real culprit!"

"As expected of Grandmaster Rank expert, their Control over the soul has reached an unbelievable level."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, their eyes filled with admiration.

On the Heavenly Star Nation's side, there was a slight change in expression, but they quickly returned to calm.

At this moment, the Grandmaster of Haiyan Kingdom stared at the illusory figure of the young man before him and said in a deep voice, "Tell me, who killed you?"

Lachlan's illusory form glanced at the man before her and said in an extremely weak voice, "... Shen Xing."

"He killed everyone... Petrel Nation... Cherry Blossom Nation... Golden Eagle..."

Before he could finish speaking, the illusory soul completely vanished.

At that moment, the expressions of all the powerful figures on the field changed drastically.

"Shen Xing, it's actually that kid from Heavenly Star Nation!"

The blue-haired middle-aged man said Wrath, "So that's it! I knew he was in a hurry to go back; he was feeling guilty!"

"Very well, you actually killed so many people from our Petrel Nation. I will make you pay the price!"

The powerful figures from the nearby Cherry Blossom Nation and Golden Eagle Kingdom also unleashed terrifying auras. "Even our nation's strongest members have fallen victim to his wickedness!"

"What a vicious brat! He actually killed so many people from three major nations!"

"Heavenly Star Nation, you must provide an explanation for this matter!"

The onlookers were still somewhat bewildered; how could the situation have changed so quickly?

Just a moment ago, weren't the Heavenly Star Nation's side all aggressive and ready to unleash a massacre?

How did it all turn into a three-power alliance putting pressure on Heavenly Star Nation in the blink of an eye?

Faced with the questioning, Sikong Yuan remained unfazed. "Stop twisting the truth and making false accusations!"

"Let me ask you this: Shen Xing had six people on his side, while Lachlan had over a hundred. How could they possibly take on so many people and kill them all?"

"Do you think he's Grandmaster? Can Grandmaster enter a maze?"

Upon hearing this question, everyone paused slightly, seemingly having considered this point as well.

Yeah... that sounds unlikely.

After all, the disparity in combat strength was so great that even if the six of them joined forces, they simply couldn't fight against Lachlan and his group of over a hundred people.

Not to mention that they also possessed life-saving items like the 'Mist Crystal'.

Seeing them pondering, Sikong Yuan continued, "I think Lachlan met with misfortune in the maze and, before dying, tried to drag Shen Xing and our Heavenly Star Nation down with him."

"After all, everyone knows that this person has been targeting Shen Xing, but has been thwarted multiple times, so he holds a grudge."

"Furthermore, didn't Master Fisher and your three great powers just say that verbal evidence is invalid?"

"How can we now treat the few words of a deceased person as substantial evidence?"

"But we have real footage; it's crystal clear who persecuted whom!"

Hearing Sikong Yuan's resounding voice, the powerful figures from various countries all showed thoughtful expressions in their eyes.

It seems that what he said does make sense.

In the previous two rankings, Lachlan's actions against Shen Xing were evident to all, and they even caused quite a few laughs.

Given this person's character, they could very well drag others down with them.

Furthermore, there are many unreasonable aspects to this matter.

Thinking of this, the momentum of the three major powers weakened somewhat.

"Oh..."

In the sky, the figure formed from flowing water sneered, "You're quite the talker."

"However, I don't care about your past grievances; I only care about my own country's affairs."

"Our family's heir is said to have been killed by Shen Xing, so it was him."

"Now that you've handed that little guy over voluntarily, I can let bygones be bygones."

"If you try to stop me, I'll kill everyone, then strangle that little brat to death, to pay for my offspring's deaths."

Upon hearing these remarks, all the Master of Heavenly Star Nation turned red in the eyes and glared angrily.

Sikong Yuan sneered, "Grandmaster Owen, what arrogance! You actually disregard international law, forcibly killing geniuses from my Heavenly Star Nation, and even intend to wipe us all out."

"Come on, I, Sikong Yuan, will stand right here and let you kill me."

"If you dare to lay a hand on it, your Daoton Family will be wiped off Blue Star this afternoon. Do you believe me?"

Another loud-voiced old man was even more blunt. "Go to hell! The Daoton Family, a mere bunch of nobody, think they're something special?"

"You dare touch me? We, the Heavenly Star Nation, will wipe out your Daoton Family and the entire Petrel Nation today!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed once again.

These powerful figures from Heavenly Star Nation are truly fearless! They actually threatened a Grandmaster Rank expert and even verbally abused him in front of so many people.

Grandmaster Rank expert must not be insulted.

Even if the Grandmaster from Haiyan Kingdom only threatened them at first, he now had to get serious in order to save face.

The blue-haired Grandmaster sneered, "Heh... As expected, the Master of Heavenly Star Nation are as arrogant as ever."

"I'd like to see how you intend to destroy the Daoton Family."

As soon as he finished speaking, a vast surge of spiritual energy rose from his body.

A terrifying aura swept out, causing the powerful figures nearby to tremble in their souls, some even feeling as if they were about to fall from the sky.

Although the Master from Heavenly Star Nation also felt that tremor in their souls, they still tried their best to remain standing still, not retreating an inch.

Just as the blue-haired Grandmaster's aura reached its peak, a weathered voice rang out.

"He's right. If you make a move, the Daoton Family will be wiped out today."

Everyone's expression changed, and they all turned to look.

On the distant sea, a black dot rapidly magnified.

Then they saw a robust old man dressed in brown casual clothes walking through the water.

And with incredible speed, he appeared before the Master of Heavenly Star Nation.

"Grandmaster Wu Qian, you've arrived." Sikong Yuan bowed respectfully.

The other Master from the Heavenly Star Nation also nodded in agreement.

The old man nodded slightly, his gaze fixed on the blue-haired man in the air. "Heh, the Xiao Xiao Daoton Family dares to boast about wiping out all the Master of Heavenly Star? Quite arrogant."

Anyone who didn't know better would think you were the number one power on Blue Star.

In response to the old man's mockery, the figure formed from flowing water sneered, "Although our Petrel Nation cannot compare to the Heavenly Star Nation, we still have Grandmaster like myself."

"If I disregard the cost, your Heavenly Star Nation will suffer heavy losses."

"Oh?" The old man named Wu Qian narrowed his eyes. "Are you threatening me?"

"So what if it is?" The blue-haired Grandmaster refused to back down. "Your Shen Xing from Heavenly Star Nation killed my family's heir and wiped out dozens of Elite from my Petrel Nation."

"He must be handed over to us, and we'll have to give him an explanation!"

The Cherry Blossom Nation and the Golden Eagle Kingdom also echoed this sentiment.

"That's right! Hand over Shen Xing!"

"Hand over Shen Xing, or the three great powers will declare war on Heavenly Star today!"

The elderly man from Heavenly Star Nation narrowed his eyes and chuckled, "I'm sorry, but from ancient times to the present, Heavenly Star has never had a precedent of handing over a genius from its own country."

"Not only that, your three great powers must also provide sufficient compensation to our Heavenly Star Nation."
