Chapter 1199: Determining the Young Clan Leader?

"Useless thing."

Hearing Baichi's words, Yu Xinwan's pretty face sank.

She let out a cold snort, and with a movement of her mind, the Array in front of her dissipated.

With a wave of her palm, an invisible force swept Baichi up, taking Baichi away from the Training Ground.

After walking out of the range covered by the Array, she immediately sealed the Array back up.

Looking toward the inside of the Array, a strong killing intent flashed through her beautiful eyes.

If she had only been guessing before that the thief was still inside the Array and could not be entirely certain.

Now, she was able to be completely certain.

The other party was indeed trapped within the Array.

It was only because they possessed a special means of concealment that they were difficult to discover.

It does not matter.

The person's strength was unknown, and she was not prepared to take risks herself.

"Hateful thief, once the Ancestral Sacrifice Ceremony ends, I will surely extract your soul and refine your spirit, letting you suffer every torment before you die!"

An ice-cold voice emanated from her mouth.

Wang Jianqiang, standing to the side, heard this and silently glanced at her.

Yu Xinwan sensed Wang Jianqiang's gaze, and her sharp look shifted, landing on Wang Jianqiang, "Regarding today's events, you had best let it all rot in your stomach; if you dare to leak even half a word, I will take your life."

Wang Jianqiang heard this and hurriedly promised, "Miss Xinwan, rest assured, this old servant will never reveal even half a word to the outside about you being... *cough cough*... attacked by the thief."

Yu Xinwan nodded with a cold face.

She waved her hand casually.

The power enveloping Wang Jianqiang's body dissipated, and Wang Jianqiang fell to the ground.

He let out a muffled groan, and a wisp of bright red blood slid down from the corner of his mouth.

"Without my order, you are not permitted to leave this place privately."

Yu Xinwan glanced at "Baichi" indifferently, left behind this command, and turned to leave.

The time for the second round of the Ancestral Sacrifice Ceremony's duels to begin was approaching, and she had to go as quickly as possible.

A moment later.

Yu Xinwan disappeared from sight.

Wang Jianqiang slowly crawled up from the ground, the feeling of weakness on his body instantly dissipating without a trace.

He looked in the direction Yu Xinwan had left and curled his lips.

He lifted his feet and walked toward the Square where the Ancestral Sacrifice Ceremony was being held.

When Wang Jianqiang arrived at the Square.

The second round of the Ancestral Sacrifice Ceremony's duels had already begun.

Not long after.

A figure in a fluttering white dress stepped onto the arena.

"It's Yu Xinwan!"

"Tsk tsk, my goddess, still so beautiful, but... the goddess's state doesn't seem quite right today; why does she look a bit exhausted?"

"Pfft, how could a goddess be understood by a mortal like you? Rumor has it she cultivates very diligently; she must not have rested after yesterday's battle and practiced all night."

"Tsk tsk, fought for an entire day and still didn't rest? That is too diligent."

"It's one thing to have strong talent, but to also be more diligent than ordinary people in cultivation—no wonder she can achieve such success."

Listening to the discussions of the crowd all around, a flash of unnaturalness appeared on Yu Xinwan's face.

Her figure flashed, and she entered directly into the Battle Space.

Seeing this scene, the corners of Wang Jianqiang's mouth lifted.

At the same time.

Yu Xinwan's opponent also entered the Battle Space.

Immediately, the battle began.

It was still just one strike.

After one strike, the opponent was defeated.

Yu Xinwan held her head high and, amidst many astonished gazes, left the arena.

Afterward, one Cultivator after another continued to step onto the arena.

The duels proceeded rapidly.

Half a day later.

The second round of duels ended.

The crowd dispersed.

Under Wang Jianqiang's deliberate avoidance, Yu Xinwan did not notice him.

Another day passed.

The third round of duels began.

After half a day of intense fighting, in the end, Yu Xinwan became the first place of this Ancestral Sacrifice Ceremony's duels with an overwhelming advantage; until the final battle ended, no one was able to take a single strike from her or force her to use a second move.

"The Ancestral Sacrifice Ceremony has ended."

"Yu Xinwan has won first place and obtained the qualification to enter the Bloodline Tower to soak in the Blood Spring."

"The results for each branch clan have been recorded; for the next hundred years, the distribution of resources for the branch clans will be arranged according to these current results."

Fox Clan main clan Clan Leader Yu Ya stood up and announced the results of the competition.

Upon hearing the words of the Fox Clan Clan Leader, some people in the Square were joyful, while others were sorrowful.

Among them.

The most sorrowful were none other than Wuling Domain Fox Clan Clan Leader Wuyu and the Elder.

With Wu Lei gone, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and let Wu Xiner take the stage.

Although Wu Xiner had decent talent, she was currently only at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage; looking at all the Cultivators participating in the competition, while she could not be said to be at the very bottom, she could only rank in the lower tier.

In the end, the result appeared as expected.

Wu Xiner achieved a ranking commensurate with her cultivation level.

Although the Wuling Domain Fox Clan's past results at the Ancestral Sacrifice Ceremony were not satisfactory, they could at least rank in the middle-to-lower tier, and at the very least, would not fall to the very bottom.

But this time, they had truly and genuinely fallen into the bottom tier.

This ranking meant that for the next hundred years, the resources they would be able to obtain within the main clan would be far less than before!

For the already not-so-wealthy Wuling Domain Fox Clan, this was nothing short of adding frost to snow.

It could be foreseen.

The future development of the Wuling Domain Fox Clan would certainly become much slower!

Wuyu, the Elder, and Wu Xiner all had ashen faces, their moods unable to recover for a long time.

"It is all Wu Lei's fault; he has harmed our entire Wuling Domain Fox Clan, he is a sinner."

In the end, Wu Xiner made a summary of the failure in this competition.

Hearing Wu Xiner's words, intense killing intent flashed across the faces of both Wuyu and the Elder.

If Wu Lei had gone missing because he encountered some accident and perished, that would be one thing.

If he were still alive...

They would definitely make the other party know what it meant to be unable to live and unable to die!

"Next, I have one more matter to announce to everyone, taking advantage of this occasion today."

On the High Platform, the voice of main clan Clan Leader Yu Ya continued to ring out.

Upon hearing this, the crowd came back to their senses one after another, their attention falling back onto Yu Ya.

Under the gaze of many, Yu Ya's expression was calm as he slowly spoke, "I have decided to appoint Yu Xinwan as the main clan Young Clan Leader; once her cultivation breaks through to the Void Refinement Stage, she may immediately succeed to the position of Clan Leader."

Upon hearing this, although the crowd was astonished, they were not overly surprised.

The Fox Clan main clan had always had the custom of appointing a Young Clan Leader, but after Yu Ya succeeded to his position, he had never found a suitable candidate, which was why it had been delayed until now.

As the Fox Clan's number one genius, Yu Xinwan's talent had already been displayed at this Ancestral Sacrifice Ceremony.

It is no exaggeration to say...

Among the past Clan Leaders of the Fox Clan, there are not many who could rival her in talent.

Making Yu Xinwan the Young Clan Leader is reasonable and appropriate.

"I have an objection."

Just as everyone was silently accepting this news, a voice suddenly came from somewhere.

The crowd was stunned, and they all revealed expressions of astonishment.

Within the Fox Clan, the main clan Clan Leader wielded immense power.

Everyone knew very well that Yu Ya mentioning this matter in public today was not to discuss it with them, but to notify them.

To think that someone would actually dare to raise an objection!
