No sooner had the Holy Lord finished speaking than the training ground erupted in chaos. The disciples had no idea what was going on, and they didn't know who they were looking for. But the Blade Holy Lord maintained an expressionless face. However, his cold eyes reflected strong murderous intent, which frightened the people. They knew that he was serious.
"Holy Lord Bryan, what did you mean? We don't even know what has upset you. Can't you see that we are in the middle of a martial arts competition? These participants have come from all the major Holy Lands. This is very disrespectful behavior." The speaker was a team-leading elder from one of the other Holy Lands. He was quite strong as he had reached the advanced stage of the Wonder Realm.
Encouraged by the example set by the elder, other team-leading elders also voiced their questions and expressed their dissatisfaction.
"Shut up!"
The Blade Holy Lord didn't utter a word. The order came from an elder who was at the premium stage of the Wonder Realm. His words were like magic as everyone quietened down. Then the elder continued, "Attention! Both sons of our distinguished Holy Lord Bryan have been killed in succession. The murderer must be out here, among you guys. If any of you know where he is, tell us immediately. Otherwise, don't expect us to be merciful."
"Humph! Why does this matter concern us? Avenging the death of your sons is your personal matter. Don't involve other people in your troubles. Okay? I wonder why you think that you have the right to kill us. I suggest that you consider the consequences before taking any action. If any of our disciples are hurt, you'll pay the price. Void Holy Land will not be merciful."
An elder from Void Holy Land spoke fearlessly. Although Blade Holy Lord was strong, they had no justification for killing so many people. What was more, the other seven Holy Lands would consider Blade Holy Land as enemies if they carried out their threat. This was something that the Blade Holy Land could not risk.
What the elder had said echoed everyone's sentiments. Most people were relieved as they didn't have to speak in such a manner before the Blade Holy Lord.
"I repeat. Who killed my sons? Step out voluntarily."
The Blade Holy Lord's voice emitted intense blade intent. Everyone felt as though several axes had been placed at their necks.
Darren stayed calm and hid in the crowd silently. He knew that he would be killed instantly if he stepped forward and admitted that he had murdered the Blade Holy Lord's sons.
Everyone knew the strength of the Blade Holy Lord—the level of his martial art was close to a grand warrior. And now, he was stronger than Scott, who had mastered the inheritance skill.
Beads of sweat pooled on the foreheads for all cultivators. Some disciples, who just reached the Wonder Realm, almost fainted under the oppression of the intense blade intent.
"Bryan, listen to us. I warn you not to go too far. Otherwise, I will inform my Holy Lord. He will not take kindly to your threats and actions."
