s he said, "Junior brother, I never expected to meet you here!"Jiang Yun also had a look of emotion on his face. The affairs of this world are indeed quite strange.Never would I have thought that the...Originally, everyone was so engrossed in the standoff between Jiang Yun and the Xia family that they almost forgot about the second round of the Beast Fighting Competition.

Only now, seeing Xia Zhongtian and these six other members of the Dao Clan, does he suddenly remember.

Even, some people couldn't help but get excited.

If the second round of competition can still be held as scheduled, then the excitement of the second round will definitely surpass the first!

The children of the Fourth Avenue clan were competing at the same time, which had never happened before.

If Jiang Yun could join, that would be even more exciting!

The murmurs of the crowd, of course, did not escape Jiang Yun's ears. They stirred something within him, reminding him of the beautiful woman, Xia Mingzhu, he had met on his way to Xiacang City!

It seems like she's avoiding the so-called "arranged marriage"!

However, Ginger Cloud now had no mood to concern herself with these matters. Instead, she turned her gaze to Xia Zhongtian, wanting to see how the head of the Xia family would handle today's events and how he would deal with her.

At this moment, Xia Zhongtian had already rushed forward and addressed everyone: "Everyone, I, Xia Zhongtian, am aware of what happened here. The blame lies with my Xia family, and it has nothing to do with anyone else. Therefore, I apologize to all of you first!"

Xia Zhongtian sincerely bowed deeply to everyone, cupping his fists and bowing.

After straightening up, Xia Zhongtian continued, "The first round of the Beast Fighting Tournament is over, and my Xia family has lost! All ten champions who challenged before my Xia family's turn will enter the second round unscathed!"

As soon as he said those few words, everyone's heart was enlightened, and they admired Xia Zhantian's ability to handle things.

Not only did the simple two sentences place all the blame on their Xia family, but they also proactively admitted fault and apologized. Even more so, they made a promise in front of everyone that they would not harm Jiang Yun.

Truly worthy of being the head of the Xia family!

"Now, all of you go your separate ways for now. Tomorrow night, I will hold a banquet at the Summer Palace to celebrate and ease your worries!"

As for tomorrow, we will continue the second round of the gladiatorial contests. I believe many of you are already aware of this.

"This year's Beast Fighting Grand Tournament's second round will be different from previous years. This time, my Xia family will be opening the Tianqi Daojian. The specific rules will be detailed tomorrow morning!"

The reason people were dispersed was naturally because of the matter between Xia Zhongxing and Xia Zhongwu, which involved the privacy of his Xia family. It couldn't be known by outsiders.

Although everyone was aware of the truth, no one dared to disperse because their tribe's beast tamers were still under Jiang Yun's control.

Xia Zhongtian obviously understood as well, his gaze finally falling on Jiang Yun. A smile appeared on his face as he said, "Jiang Xiaoyou, regarding today's matter, I, Xia Zhongtian, swear on my life that I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer!"

Jiang Yun certainly understood the meaning behind Xia Zhongtian's words. He just wanted Jiang Yun to return those tamed beasts to their respective tribes.

At the same time, Yu Cangwu's voice reached Jiang Yun's ear: "Brother Jiang, Xia Dabo and my master have the best relationship. You can trust him!"

Despite Yu Cangwu's explanation, Jiang Yun, always cautious, pondered for a moment before returning the hundred thousand beasts belonging to foreign tribes to their respective groups.

As for the Xia family's beast horde of over 200,000, it is still under his control. As long as the Xia family has any malicious intentions towards him, these beasts will still cause considerable damage to them.

Just like that, with the arrival of Xia Zhuming, a war that had been on the brink of eruption was unexpectedly defused. It diminished to nothing, vanishing without a trace.

Just a moment later, besides Jiang Yun, the members of the Yu family, Xiao village, and Xia family, all outsiders, even Guan Yiming and the other six members of the Dao clan, were also taken by Xia Zhongtian's men to rest elsewhere.

Xia Zhongtian walked up to Jiang Yun's face and said, "Jiang Xiaoyou, could you let me see your shape-shifting technique!"

Jiang Yun didn't answer, directly displaying the shapeshifting technique. After Xia Zhongtian carefully read it, he nodded excitedly and said: "That's right, this is indeed the shapeshifting technique of my third brother. Jiang Xiao friend, I wonder where my third brother is now"

Jiang Yun, however, raised the spirit weapon Summer Martial Arts held in his hand and said: "Head of the Xia Clan, shouldn't you first ask him how he made Elder Xia disappear back then"

Xia Zhantian nodded, his gaze fixed on Xia Zhongwu: "Lao Jiu, will you confess yourself, or will I have to make you"

After a moment of silence, Xia Zhongwu faced Xia Zhongtian and Xia Qi's aggressive gazes, gritted his teeth and said: "They father and son jumped into the Huayi Cave!"

"What!"

Although Xia Zhongtian and the others had mentally prepared themselves, when they heard this sentence, their faces all changed drastically.

The Cave of Transformation, humans enter and never return. Who could have imagined that Xia Zhongxing would take his own son and leap into the Cave of Transformation!

Xia Zhongtian frowned and said, "The danger of the Huayidong Cave is known to everyone. Even if we try our best to avoid it, how could Lao San (the third brother) possibly bring Ming Shi (the tenth brother) to approach the Huayidong Cave"

Because I told them that there is a powerful person inside the Cave of Transformation who can cure Xia Mingzhi's illness!

Xia Zhongtian roared, "Don't be ridiculous! The third brother isn't a three-year-old child, he wouldn't believe your lies!"

He didn't believe it, but Xia Ming shi believed it!

At this, the crowd suddenly understood!

Actually, the truth and process of the matter are very simple!

Xia Zhongwu told Xia Mingzhi that there was a powerful being inside the Huayi Cave who could cure his illness, thus deceiving him into entering the Huayi Cave and throwing him into the cave.

And as if by coincidence, Xia Zhongxing happened to arrive at this very moment. Driven by the urgency to save his son, he recklessly jumped into the Huayixi Cave without hesitation.

Having understood the truth of the matter, everyone fell silent.

After a long silence, Xia Zhongtian sighed and said to Lao Jiu: "Lao Jiu, although you and Lao San have always been at odds, why do you want to put him to death"

Xia Zhongwu kept his mouth shut, saying nothing more. But Xia Qi, who had remained silent all along, coldly spoke up: "If I'm not mistaken, all this is for the position of family head! Zhongtian, you should also be his target!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the Xia family members were startled again. Xia Zhongtian trembled and said, "Impossible, Old Nine even wants to kill me"

The head of the Xia family has always been held by the most powerful member of the direct lineage. Among the nine sons of the Xia family, Xia Zhongtian is the strongest, followed by Xia Zhongxing and then Xia Zhongwu.

If both Xia Zhongtian and Xia Zhongxing were to meet with accidents and perish, then the position of head of the Xia family would fall to Xia Zhongwu!

In order to become the head of the family in the future, Xia Zhongwu was so ruthless that he even turned against his own brothers and sisters. His heart is truly wicked and despicable, arousing anger from both humans and gods.

Jiang Yun never spoke up because this was a family matter of the Xia family. Even though he knew Xia Zhongxing, he didn't have the right to interfere in his family affairs.

However, as an observer, he noticed the expressions and reactions of every member of the Xia family.

Especially Xia Zhongtian!

It seems like Xia Zhongtian was extremely shocked, completely disbelieving that Xia Zhongwu would even want to kill him. However, Jiang Yun always felt that the other party's performance was a little too fake!

Although Ginger Cloud had no evidence, it was just a hunch of his.

However, as the head of such a large Daoist clan, he must be someone with an incredibly sharp mind. This is evident from how easily he resolved all matters after his appearance.

And brother against brother, fighting for power and position, this kind of thing is nothing new in any world. How could Xia Zhongtian not take precautions!

"Could it be that Xia Zhongtian knew about Xia Zhongwu's wolfish ambition a long time ago, but pretended not to know"

"Thus it seems, this Xia Zhongtian is untrustworthy!"

At this time, Xia Zhongtian looked at Jiang Yun again, a kind smile on his face. "Young friend, if you don't mind, why not go to the Xia family with us and have a good chat!"

First published on the Traditional Chinese Novel Networkh his back was to the crowd, a cold smile played upon his face.Even before he had unleashed his magical body, he was able to carry it with ease, which shows that although this stone tablet is undoubte...
