"The outcome must be determined." Xing Chen's gaze flickered slightly as he looked into the sky.
Suddenly, the World-Destruction Hand was enveloped by the surging Li Fire Divine Flame. Then, the flaming Vermilion Bird, with its wings shaking, dove down in an instant, charging towards Song Xingwen.
"Nine Phantom Steps!"
Seeing the fiery Vermilion Bird rushing towards him, Song Xingwen's expression changed drastically. He moved his feet slightly, and his figure instantly transformed into countless Phantoms, which then roared and scattered in all directions.
The fiery Vermilion Bird missed its target. At this moment, Fireman could no longer hold on; his body, suspended in the air, suddenly fell.
The Vermilion Bird composed of Li Fire Divine Flame also began to dissipate slowly at this time, while Song Xingwen's figure appeared below the stage.
At this moment, Song Xingwen wore a face full of regret. If he had just held on a little longer, he would have been the winner of this match. Unfortunately, he couldn't last that extra moment.
Now that he had appeared below the stage, the victor of this match was naturally Fireman.
The results of this ranking competition were also completely revealed. The first place was Fire Sect. For the next five years, Fire Sect would occupy the most resources on Nebula Island.
Next was Song Family. However, due to Song Daohong losing a bet to Zhao Family for twenty Elemental Stone Veins, their occupied resources could only rank third, while Zhao Family ranked second.
The worst off was Nebula Gate, which plummeted from first to last place. At this moment, Nangong Xingyun personally experienced what it meant to fall harder the higher one flew; he was feeling quite miserable.
"This competition has ended, and the rankings are out. The Elemental Stone Veins and other resources will be transferred as before in three days. Does anyone have any objections?"
Nangong Xingyun's face was extremely gloomy because now that the rankings were finalized, it was time to deal with Ling Kaifeng.
"Alright, since the rankings have been determined, let's address the matter of Ling Kaifeng next," Huo Mingqing said calmly as he glanced at Nangong Xingyun.
"What else is there to discuss? Wasn't it already settled just now? We should personally take action to suppress him, so he won't turn into a bloodthirsty monster," Nangong Xingyun said, frowning tightly.
"Suppression is definitely necessary, but the key is where exactly we will suppress him. We absolutely cannot suppress him at your Nebula Gate, otherwise..." As soon as Nangong Xingyun finished speaking, Zhao Yuanlong suddenly interjected. Although he didn't specify what would happen, everyone present understood that if they did so, Nangong Xingyun would definitely take some action, even possibly letting Ling Kaifeng escape in secret.
"In my opinion, there is only one place on Nebula Island suitable for suppressing this person, and that is the Demon Suppression Cave. Only by suppressing him in the Demon Suppression Cave can we ensure he won't escape and endanger our entire Nebula Island," Huo Mingqing said after pondering for a moment.
The Demon Suppression Cave was a place where various forces on Nebula Island suppressed demonic masters and some violent beasts. Throughout history, countless demons and beasts had been suppressed there, and none had ever escaped.
The Demon Suppression Cave was also one of the most mysterious places on Nebula Island. Now that Huo Mingqing proposed to suppress Ling Kaifeng there, it was clear he wanted to ensure Ling Kaifeng would never come out again.
"Huo Mingqing, you should know what kind of place the Demon Suppression Cave is. You actually want to put Wind in the Demon Suppression Cave; what are your intentions?" Nangong Xingyun's face revealed a hint of ferocity as he glared at Huo Mingqing.
"This person has taken the Bloodthirsty Frenzy Pill; only the Demon Suppression Cave can contain him. Otherwise, once his demonic nature erupts, our entire Nebula Island will suffer. I am thinking of Nebula Island's well-being, yet you keep stopping us from taking action against Ling Kaifeng; what do you mean by that?" Huo Mingqing retorted without backing down. He was determined to suppress Ling Kaifeng; having learned from the previous experience with Snow Wind Island, he could not allow Ling Kaifeng to grow stronger.
"Alright, it's understandable to suppress Wind since he has taken the Bloodthirsty Frenzy Pill. However, he is currently gravely injured and on the brink of death. Even if we are to suppress him, we must wait until he recovers; otherwise, it would not be suppression but outright killing him."
Nangong Xingyun's expression darkened. After a long silence, he finally spoke. He knew that at this moment, the situation was inevitable; he could not protect Ling Kaifeng no matter how high his cultivation was on Nebula Island.
"Fine, since you two have a master-disciple relationship and Ling Kaifeng's cultivation isn't too strong, giving him some time to recuperate isn't a problem. Let's set the time for three days from now when we hand over the Elemental Stone Vein and other cultivation resources. At that time, we will jointly suppress Ling Kaifeng and send him to the Demon Suppression Cave."
Huo Mingqing thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. Although he wanted to suppress Ling Kaifeng immediately, considering that doing so might completely infuriate Nangong Xingyun, he decided to compromise a little.
"Since that's settled, I won't stay any longer. Please excuse me!" Nangong Xingyun stood up and waved his sleeve as he left. Huo Mingqing and the others also did not linger there and took their family disciples back to their respective sects.
"Zhao Family Head, since the competition has concluded, I won't stay any longer either. Please give me what you promised before; I need to leave," Xing Chen stepped forward and said to Zhao Yuanlong.
"Ha ha, Brother Xing Chen, this time it's all thanks to you! This is the elixir I promised you earlier. Although you didn't kill Song Xingwen, you brought enough benefits to the Zhao Family, so I'm giving you these two additional bottles of Soul-Condensing Pill as well."
Zhao Yuanlong laughed heartily as he took out three jade bottles from his Storage Ring. Among them, one contained half a bottle of Soul-Condensing Pill, while the other two were full bottles.
"Thank you, Zhao Family Head." Xing Chen said as he accepted the jade bottles and placed them into his Thunderfire Divine Ring, then cupped his fists in gratitude to Zhao Yuanlong.
"Hehe, no need to thank me; this is what you deserve. As for the Earth-Level Martial Arts obtained by the third place, it will only be handed over when we transfer the Elemental Stone Vein in three days. So if Brother Xing Chen has no urgent matters, feel free to stay a couple more days with my Zhao Family."
Zhao Yuanlong smiled. At this moment, everyone in the Zhao Family was very happy. After all, Xing Chen had achieved victory and helped them escape from the bottom rank while also bringing them a large amount of cultivation resources. They were naturally very grateful to Xing Chen.
However, there was one person in the Zhao Family who was not very happy: the Third Elder of the Zhao Family. Although they had secured third place and received a Soul-Tracking Needle and twenty Elemental Stone Veins from Song Daohong, he couldn't feel joy because of Zhao Guang's situation.
Nonetheless, he knew that this incident could not be blamed on Xing Chen; there were simply too many unexpected events during the competition that prevented Xing Chen from even having a chance to confront Song Xingwen.
Soon, everyone boarded the Ironwing Eagle and left Nebula Gate to return to the Zhao Family. Xing Chen did not leave either since there was still an Earth-Level Martial Arts yet to be obtained.
Although he didn't care much for those lower-level Earth-Level Martial Arts, he certainly wouldn't refuse them since no one would complain about having too many Martial Arts.
"By the way, Zhao Family Head, there's something I would like to ask you about, if that's alright?" After returning to the Zhao Family, Xing Chen suddenly seemed to remember something and looked at Zhao Yuanlong.
"Oh? Brother Xing Chen can speak freely; I will definitely answer any questions," Zhao Yuanlong replied with a hint of surprise in his eyes before smiling.
"What’s going on with the Bloodthirsty Frenzy Pill? I noticed that everyone seemed quite anxious when they saw Ling Kaifeng swallow that pill," Xing Chen pondered for a moment before asking.
He had been curious about this issue for a long time. While at Nebula Gate, he had seen Zhao Yuanlong and others arguing over Ling Kaifeng swallowing the Bloodthirsty Frenzy Pill. He was very eager to know what exactly was going on with this matter.
"You don't know? You should actually be more aware of this than I am since someone from your Snow Wind Island once swallowed a Bloodthirsty Frenzy Pill."
Zhao Yuanlong's gaze flickered slightly, and he spoke up. At that moment, doubts arose in his heart. Since Xing Chen came from Snow Wind Island, he should know about the Bloodthirsty Frenzy Pill; why was he asking me instead?
"I really don't know much about this matter; otherwise, I wouldn't be asking you, Zhao Family Head," Xing Chen said, his eyes subtly shifting as his mind raced.
Zhao Yuanlong looked at him strangely and then slowly said, "Those who consume the Bloodthirsty Frenzy Pill will experience a tremendous surge in power, but they will also suffer from terrifying side effects, namely the 'Bloodthirsty Frenzy'!"
"Moreover, this person will develop a horrifying obsession with blood. After a certain period, they must consume fresh blood; otherwise, they will enter a state of Bloodthirsty Frenzy. At that point, they will become unrecognizable and kill indiscriminately."
"And since Ling Kaifeng has consumed the Bloodthirsty Frenzy Pill, he will undoubtedly become like this in the future. Therefore, we must suppress him in advance; otherwise, the entire Nebula Island will be plunged into chaos."
After listening to Zhao Yuanlong's words, Xing Chen nodded slightly. He now understood why Zhao Yuanlong and the others were determined to kill or suppress Ling Kaifeng—it was because Ling Kaifeng could potentially become a great evil, bringing disaster to all of Nebula Island.
"Zhao Family Head, I think the master of Nebula Gate seems to be trying to protect Ling Kaifeng. You all should be cautious; if he secretly sends Ling Kaifeng away during this time, it would be disastrous," Xing Chen said after pondering for a moment.
"Hehe, rest assured. Nangong Xingyun absolutely cannot quietly send Ling Kaifeng away," Zhao Yuanlong replied with a faint smile.
