Chapter 1200: The Strange Change Begins

The sudden voice of opposition not only left everyone with looks of astonishment, but Yu Ya and Yu Xinwan also seemed not to have expected it, their brows furrowing simultaneously as they looked toward the direction from which the sound came.

Under the gaze of many eyes.

In the sky beyond the Square, at the edge of sight.

A figure flew over rapidly.

It was an old woman whose cultivation had already reached the Void Refinement Late Stage.

The moment they saw the old woman, the gazes of many among those present began to flicker.

This is...

Tushan Hong.

Tushan, the surname of the Qingqiu Lineage.

This Tushan Hong was precisely one of the current Elders of the Qingqiu Lineage.

The Qingqiu Lineage was originally the ruling lineage within the Fox Clan.

But in that battle during the ancient times, the Fox Queen died in battle, the Qingqiu Lineage suffered the most severe losses, and their top powerhouses were almost entirely wiped out.

The Baiyu Mountain Yu Clan seized the opportunity to strike, took control of the clan's power in one fell swoop, and drove the originally ruling Qingqiu Lineage out of the clan.

Ever since then.

The Qingqiu Lineage separated from the clan and lived in seclusion on Qingqiu Mountain.

They became a special branch with the purest bloodline.

As for the Baiyu Mountain Yu Clan, they led the various clan powerhouses to establish a new site around Baiyu Mountain, and from then on, the clan relocated to Baiyu Mountain.

Precisely because of this.

The Qingqiu Lineage and the Baiyu Mountain Lineage have always been in a state of opposition.

They have almost no interaction in their daily lives.

Even for this Ancestral Sacrifice Ceremony, the Qingqiu Lineage is the only special case...

They only perform the ancestral sacrifice and do not participate in the competitions.

Because they do not accept the clan's resources at all, and furthermore, the Baiyu Mountain Yu Clan would not give them resources.

In all previous Ancestral Sacrifice Ceremonies.

The Qingqiu Lineage has only ever gone through the motions.

Now...

A powerhouse of the Qingqiu Lineage has actually gone against the norm and publicly refuted the Clan Leader, Yu Ya!

The astonishment in everyone's hearts can be imagined.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Tushan Hong flew straight into the air above the Square, leveled with the High Platform, and looked directly at Yu Ya.

"Tushan Hong, you actually dare to contradict the Clan Leader in public; this is inviting disaster upon your Qingqiu Lineage."

Before Yu Ya could speak, an Elder of the Baiyu Mountain Yu Clan beside him already spoke coldly with a gloomy expression.

Hearing the Yu Clan powerhouse's words, Tushan Hong sneered, ignored the Elder who had spoken, and continued to Yu Ya, "Yu Ya, the position of Fox Clan Leader is no small matter. You want to designate Yu Xinwan as the Young Clan Leader? You may, but before that, you must prove she has the qualifications."

Yu Ya frowned, "Is being first place in the Ancestral Sacrifice Ceremony competition not enough?"

"Not enough!"

Tushan Hong shook her head, "My Fox Clan has a rule: to become the Young Clan Leader, one must pass the blood test at the Clan Stele; only those whose Bloodline Power reaches purple or above are qualified to become the Young Clan Leader."

Hearing Tushan Hong's words, Yu Ya said coldly, "Your Qingqiu clan has already been expelled from the clan, by what right do you point fingers here?"

"And by what right should I listen to you?"

"By the right that this rule was personally set by the Fox Queen herself," Tushan Hong said.

The people on the High Platform fell silent upon hearing this.

Around the Square, the gazes of the various branch Cultivators also flickered upon hearing this.

The Fox Queen.

The greatest leader in the history of the Fox Clan; if not for encountering a powerful enemy in the ancient battle, the Fox Clan, under the leadership of the Fox Queen, would surely have reached the height of glory.

Her prestige was so strong that it had long surpassed the past Clan Leaders of the Fox Clan.

Even today, after her fall, the Fox Clan Cultivators still respect her immensely.

Even Yu Ya dared not offend her in the slightest.

If Tushan Hong had not mentioned this matter, everyone might have chosen to play dumb out of fear for Yu Ya, the Clan Leader.

But since Tushan Hong brought it up.

Then this rule could no longer be ignored.

Yu Ya looked at the people around him and suddenly smiled, "The Fox Queen's rule naturally cannot be violated. Since you want to test it, then go and test it."

"Xinwan, follow me."

After speaking, he flew off in one direction first.

Yu Xinwan followed closely behind.

Seeing this, the crowd flew out in unison and followed.

As everyone flew toward the location of the Clan Stele, Tushan Hong looked toward Baiyu Mountain without changing her expression.

A trace of worry flashed across her face.

Afterward, her figure flickered, and she flew forward.

Wang Jianqiang was mixed in the crowd, also flying forward.

Not long after.

He saw the people in front land, and he followed them down.

He looked up.

A tall Stone Stele appeared within their field of vision.

At this moment, Yu Ya and Xinwan were standing beneath the Stone Stele.

Xinwan's expression was calm, without the slightest hint of worry, as if she were completely confident.

It was only that lingering sense of weakness that offset much of her composed temperament.

Yu Ya's expression was calm, showing no emotion.

In his heart, however, he was already sneering repeatedly.

As a Clan Leader, he had always been cautious in his actions; how could he not have considered the step of blood testing at the Clan Stele?

Regarding Xinwan's Bloodline Power, he had already secretly tested it and had full confidence.

"Xinwan, begin."

Yu Ya spoke.

Xinwan nodded and pressed her palm toward the Clan Stele.

"Wait~"

Just at this moment, Tushan Hong suddenly spoke.

Xinwan's palm instinctively paused in mid-air.

Yu Ya frowned and looked at Tushan Hong, "Tushan Hong, what is the meaning of this?"

Tushan Hong shook her head, "My Fox Clan has many branches, and it is rare for them to be gathered so completely; why not wait until all the branch Cultivators have arrived before beginning the test?"

"In this way, the test results can also be more authoritative."

Yu Ya sneered, "Playing tricks; no matter what conspiracy you have, I have decided that the position of Young Clan Leader will be hers today."

"I said it, and your Qingqiu Lineage cannot stop it."

After speaking, he sneered, crossed his arms, and waited silently.

Upon hearing this, Tushan Hong remained silent.

Not long after.

All the branch Cultivators had arrived, and the surroundings were already packed tightly with people.

Seeing that no one else was continuing to arrive, Yu Ya looked at Tushan Hong and said indifferently, "Is it acceptable now?"

Tushan Hong looked toward the direction of Baiyu Mountain without changing her expression, a flash of urgency appearing in her eyes before she returned to normal.

After a moment of silence, she nodded.

Seeing this, a trace of mockery flashed across Yu Ya's face.

"Xinwan, begin."

Xinwan nodded, pressed her palm onto the Clan Stele, and her Bloodline Power flowed through her palm and poured into it.

In an instant.

The Clan Stele erupted with intense purple light.

The purple light was very deep, and it was even streaked with strands of gold as thin as hair.

"It's deep purple!"

"No, this Bloodline Power is no longer as simple as an ordinary Purple Bloodline; it has already reached the edge of the Golden Bloodline level, only half a step away from a Golden Bloodline!"

"A Golden Bloodline! Since the ancient war, our Fox Clan has never given birth to a Golden Bloodline, right?"

"She is truly the heaven-gifted daughter who won first place in the Ancestral Sacrifice Ceremony with an overwhelming advantage!"

……

Among the crowd, exclamations of wonder continued to emerge.

"Tushan Hong, now, do you have anything else to say?"

A trace of triumph flashed across Yu Ya's face as he looked indifferently at Tushan Hong.

Tushan Hong remained silent.

Yu Ya sneered and continued, "Since you aren't speaking, should I assume that your Qingqiu Lineage no longer has any objections?"

Tushan Hong still did not speak.

Yu Ya sneered, "Since that is the case, then Xinwan's position as Young Clan Leader is settled like this..."

Boom~

Before Yu Ya could finish his words, a massive booming sound suddenly erupted, interrupting him.

The next moment, the earth suddenly began to shake violently.
