Perfect: Many children, many blessings! Join the chat group!

Those who arrived at the scene at this moment were Xiao Yan and others who had come at the invitation of Shi Hao.

Han Li and Lin Dong could have arrived here much earlier.

But Xiao Yan felt that since they were going to support Shi Hao, they should make a grand entrance together to show their power.

So they organized themselves in the group chat and then crossed over to this place together.

"Who has trespassed into the forbidden area of ​​the imperial palace?"

Shi Huang suddenly stood up, his imperial dragon aura surging forth. Nine golden dragon phantoms raised their heads and roared, their eyes like lightning, shooting directly at Xiao Yan and the others in the air.

These people's auras were completely different from any sect in the Eight Domains, especially the young man with red hair on one shoulder, whose murderous aura was so strong that it made him feel a little uneasy.

Xiao Yan ignored Shi Huang and instead scanned the dark crowd below, finally fixing his gaze on Shi Hao.

"Everyone, there's no need to be nervous. We are Shi Hao's brothers. We're here today not for anything else, but to stand up for our brother."

Xiao Yan's voice slowly spread in all directions, startling everyone present.

No one could have imagined that these mysterious figures who suddenly appeared on the field were actually the brothers of Shi Hao, the Marquis of Huangtian.

Shi Hao looked up, his eyes shining, and waved his hand vigorously into the air.

At first, Venerable Golden Spider was intimidated by the spatial techniques used when Xiao Yan and the others appeared, and thought they were people from some immortal sect in the upper realm.

But when he heard Xiao Yan introduce himself as Shi Hao's "brother," he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and felt reassured. His arrogant arrogance surged up again in an instant.

What extraordinary background could a little brat abandoned by the Wu King's mansion have for his brothers?
These people must be rogue cultivators who have gotten some lucky break and learned some unorthodox techniques!
"Hmph, so these people are Shi Hao's brothers."

Venerable Golden Spider stepped forward, his gaze sweeping over Xiao Yan and the others. He sneered, "The duel between Shi Hao and Shi Yi has begun. Their fates are in the hands of Heaven. This was personally approved by Emperor Shi. What are you trying to do by tearing through space and entering the arena? Do you intend to interfere with the duel and launch a sneak attack?"

After saying that, he turned to look at the Stone Emperor, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, these people are acting suspiciously. They suddenly appeared above the battle platform. It is hard to say that they have no ill intentions. In my opinion, they should be captured immediately and interrogated thoroughly to prevent them from disrupting this duel!"

Shi Huang frowned, his gaze shifting between Xiao Yan and the others and Venerable Golden Spider.

He could naturally tell that the golden spider was using this as an excuse to make a fuss.

However, the way these people appeared was indeed abrupt and improper.

Upon seeing this, Han Li immediately spoke calmly to the Stone Emperor: "Fellow Daoist, we are here only to watch the battle and have no other intentions. Just now, there was a slight deviation in the teleportation location, which disturbed Your Majesty and everyone. It was not our intention. We will leave the battle area immediately and will not interfere with the competition."

After saying that, he gave a slight nod to Xiao Yan, Lin Dong, and the others, and then headed towards the outer edge of the viewing platform.

Seeing that he spoke earnestly and had a calm demeanor, the Stone Emperor's hostility lessened, and he silently nodded, which was considered as tacit approval.

"Wait!"

However, Venerable Golden Spider refused to give up. With a swift movement, he blocked the path in front of Han Li and his companions as they were about to land, and said with a forced smile, "Watching the battle? Ha! These four viewing platforms are already full of seats, filled with influential forces from the Desolate Region and even other regions. What right do you unknown individuals have to sit here? If you know what's good for you, obediently get out of the palace and find a place to wait in the outer city. There is no place for you here!"

His words were a blatant insult.

Lin Dong's eyes flashed with a cold light. He was a violent person by nature and could not stand such an attitude. He immediately took a step forward, and lightning crackled around his body.

"Old man, you think you're so great, huh?"

"Fifth brother, wait a moment."

Han Li reached out to block, still trying to avoid conflict.

However, just as Lin Dong was about to unleash his fury, Wang Lin, who had been silent all along, took a step forward. His figure appeared before the Golden Spider Venerable like a ghost.

The Golden Spider Venerable's pupils shrank sharply, his protective runes lit up instantly, and at the same time, a beam of dark light shot out from his sleeve.

This is a spider spear coated with a potent poison, capable of piercing even the Venerable's defenses!

But all of this seemed too slow in front of Wang Lin.

Wang Lin didn't even use any magic or supernatural powers; he simply extended his right hand, spread his five fingers, and the protective divine light surrounding the Golden Spider Venerable shattered instantly.

His vicious spider spear was shattered into dust by an invisible force field!
"--Snapped!"

A crisp snapping sound rang out.

Wang Lin's right hand had gripped the Golden Spider Venerable's neck as firmly as an iron hoop.

The Golden Spider Venerable's eyes bulged out, and all the color drained from his face.

He tried to struggle, but found that his surging Venerable Realm divine power was like a mud ox sinking into the sea, and was suppressed by an unimaginably heavy force from the other party's palm!
Wang Lin remained expressionless, gripping the Golden Spider Venerable's neck and casually pressing his arm down.
"—BOOM!!!"

A deafening roar suddenly erupted!

The entire capital of the Stone Kingdom seemed to tremble violently at that moment.

Wang Lin's press, seemingly casual, actually involved the use of his rudimentary Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force.

Although only a few particles were awakened, the true meaning of "Divine Elephant Suppressing the Prison" was already contained within them.

In an instant.

Centered on the point of contact between the two, a large section of the training ground, which was strong enough to withstand a fierce battle between Venerables, collapsed!

A giant pit, over a hundred feet in diameter and bottomless, was instantly formed!
The dense cracks spread wildly in all directions at an alarming speed, with cracking sounds echoing everywhere. In an instant, they covered the entire square and tore towards the base of the viewing platform around it!

Dust mixed with gravel shot into the sky like an angry dragon, obscuring the entire area.

There was a deathly silence.

All the cultivators, whether young prodigies or venerable elders from various factions, were dumbfounded, staring at the huge, dust-filled pit, their minds blank.

The Stone Emperor stood frozen before the dragon throne, his imperial dragon aura surging violently, his eyes filled with unbelievable shock.

Venerable Xuanhe's face turned ashen, and he instinctively took several steps back, his throat dry, unable to utter a single word.

When the smoke and dust dissipated slightly.

The crowd noticed that the red-haired youth was still standing in the same spot, his figure upright.

As for Venerable Golden Spider, he was already embedded in the shattered rocks like a lump of mud, his bones completely broken and blood flowing from his seven orifices.

The other party's cold black robe was now in tatters.

His body twitched slightly, his eyes were unfocused, and his breath was extremely weak. He had clearly suffered a severe injury and had completely lost his fighting ability.

Wang Lin didn't even glance at the bottom of the pit again. He slowly raised his eyes, his icy gaze sweeping over the pale-faced Venerable Xuanhe and the countless silent cultivators around him, before finally settling on the Stone Emperor:
"Is there a seat available now?"
