Xiao Zhentian, as a strong person who has broken through the Golden Elixir Realm, naturally saw clearly Xiao Yifei's moves on the platform. Seeing the plan in his heart fall through once again, this time he really couldn't let these people go.

The smoke on the platform gradually dissipated. Due to the immense power of this series of blasts, for the sake of the subsequent matches, the four Elders had to step in to block the aftermath of this explosion to prevent further damage to the Martial Arts Arena. Nevertheless, the arena was still riddled with pits and devastation caused by the representative of Team Clay Monster.

The representative of Team Clay Monster also leapt down from the big bird, jumping in front of Xiao Zhentian, and said to Xiao Yifei and the other two, "The people just now were saved by you, right? Team Fifteen sure has some tricks. However, I didn't intend to kill them; in fact, I had a backup plan to take those two idiots down from the platform. But since you appeared, I didn't act. How about it? Not bad, right? The art of explosion."

Xiao Yifei ignored the words of the representative from Team Clay Monster, and the latter, seeing he had hit a wall, reluctantly walked away.

"I am a descendant of the Lin Family from the Seven Ancient Clans, Xiao Yifei." Xiao Yifei bowed to Xiao Zhentian and introduced himself.

"Clan Leader of the Zhang Family, Zhang Po."

"Clan Leader of the Chang Family, Chang Wei." After Chang Wutian's death, Chang Wei naturally inherited the position of the Chang Family's Clan Leader.

The three of them introduced themselves to Xiao Zhentian in a voice only they could hear.

Upon hearing their identities, Xiao Zhentian was visibly taken aback and wanted to act out but was deterred by the fact they shared the same Seven Ancient Clans' status, leaving him unsure of what to do as the anger in his heart grew. In his mind, Xiao Yifei and the other two, as descendants of the Seven Ancient Clans, dared to block the continuation of the conference in broad daylight. This was undoubtedly a blatant provocation.

While Xiao Zhentian was hesitating, the four Elders on the pillars also came down. Xiao Zhentian introduced the Seven Ancient Clans' identity of Xiao Yifei and the others to the elders, and after hearing this, they too showed a difficult expression.

Seeing that after listening to his identity, although there was no sign of forgiveness, they also did not continue to make things difficult. Xiao Yifei felt a bit relieved, thinking that there seemed to be a way, and took this opportunity to say, "We came to participate in the 'Martial Artist Conference' with absolutely no other intention; rest assured, Elder Xiao. And we stepped in to help purely because we couldn't bear to see these young cultivators' lives end here, and had no choice but to do so. Please forgive us, Elder Xiao."

Having said that, Xiao Yifei bowed respectfully to Xiao Zhentian, and upon seeing this, Zhang Po and Chang Wei hurriedly saluted Xiao Zhentian and the four Elders.

"Forget it, forget it." Seeing the juniors of the Three Ancient Clans being so humble, Xiao Zhentian realized that it wouldn't make sense to continue to be unreasonable in front of so many people, so he temporarily let Xiao Yifei and the others go, but in his heart, he was planning on how to teach the three little rascals a lesson after today's match.

Xiao Zhentian waved to Xiao Yifei and the others, implying that today's matter would be over, and the three of them gratefully thanked Xiao Zhentian.

However, Xiao Yifei and the others knew in their hearts that it wouldn't be so simple, and tonight after the competition, the Xiao Family's revenge banquet awaited them. The priority was to stabilize the Xiao Family and then discuss countermeasures.

After expressing his stance, Xiao Zhentian left the three and went to the stage to announce the competition results.

"Fifth round, Team Six wins."

Xiao Yifei said to Zhang Po and Chang Wei, who were still in a daze, "We have to go back and discuss a strategy; the Xiao Family won't let us off so easily. I have a plan, come with me."

Zhang Po shook his head: "No, there's one match I must watch."

Xiao Yifei knew he was referring to the match with Li Huoke. He had been obsessing over a showdown with Li Huoke to the point of obsession. Xiao Yifei had no choice but to allow Zhang Po to stay and watch the match, while he took Chang Wei back to their lodging.

Back in the lodging area, the two entered the room one after the other. Chang Wei, worried about spies from the Xiao Family, deliberately placed some nearly invisible threads at the entrance as a precaution and ensured the door was tightly closed. Once safe, he turned to Xiao Yifei and asked, "What's your plan? Let's hear it."

Xiao Yifei pulled over a mat, sat on it, and slowly said, "As for a plan, I don't have one yet, but I should be able to help us evade the danger tonight."

"What do you mean?"

Xiao Yifei did not rush to explain his strategy to Chang Wei. Instead, he instructed him to find Qing Hong and the others from Team Hundred Beast Mountain while he went to handle a very important matter. The two acted separately and quietly left the residence.

Time passed quickly, and the fiercely contested preliminary rounds finally concluded at dusk today. Xiao Yifei and Chang Wei were already prepared, waiting for Zhang Po to return.

Soon, Zhang Po returned to the room with heavy footsteps and briefed the two on today's match and the advancing participants: Teams One, Two, Six, Sixteen, and their own Team Fifteen.

Among them, the seed teams targeted by Xiao Yifei included Team Eighteen from Poison Manor, Team Six with Clay Monster, Team Nineteen held up by Li Huoke alone. As for the other seed players, Team One of Hundred Beast Mountain was eliminated by them, and Long Hand Clan's team was eliminated by Poison Manor. Han Family's youngsters withdrew due to circumstances.

The finals would be held three days later, with the advancing teams opposing the Xiao Family descendants in a format decided by the Xiao Family.

After a brief introduction by Zhang Po about the competition situation, Xiao Yifei nodded and said, "Now we just wait for our guests."

"Guests? What guests?" Zhang Po was puzzled.

Xiao Yifei didn't rush to explain to him and deliberately kept it a secret, while Chang Wei stood by showing a mysterious expression, smiling without speaking.

"Boring," Zhang Po pouted and went to rest on the side. Although he said that, he was still worried about the Xiao Family's actions tonight. If the Xiao Family indeed took actions detrimental to the three of them, Zhang Po was ready to rip off the guise of cooperation with the Xiao Family as an Ancient Clan Leader.

Meanwhile, in the Xiao Family's meeting room.

In the center of the meeting room, there was a large round table with a diameter of about ten meters, surrounded by a dozen people, including Xiao Zhentian and four elders of the Xiao Family. There was also Xiao Zhentian's eldest son, Xiao Jukun, and a few young men, Xiao Zhentian's second and third sons, all muscular, with red eyes and hair, led by the most formidable Xiao Jukun.

Sitting in a corner of the round table was a young woman, close in age to Xiao Jukun and the others, Xiao Zhentian's most cherished daughter, Xiao Ling, with a beautiful face and a slender figure. Her waist-length red hair was quite striking.

The leader, Xiao Zhentian, spoke, "This conference has a few uninvited guests from the Lin, Chang, and Zhang Families of the Seven Ancient Clans, and they've thwarted our plans several times. What do you all think?"

"Why not just kill them?" Xiao Ling murmured while fiddling with her nails.
