The moment the Meridian Gate opened, the Earth Unrestricted experts outside the protective barrier hurriedly retreated with fear written all over their faces.
They knew what the Hall Master intended to do.
The Hall Master was going to personally intervene and end the contest!
However, just as Di Chen's fist was about to strike the protective barrier, a voice suddenly descended from the sky.
"Hall Master Di, are you planning to break the law?"
It was the voice of Wen Ping.
The instant Wen Ping's words fell, Di Chen's fist suddenly halted, coming to a stop just short of the barrier, unable to advance any further.
Because a cyan Sword Intent had suddenly appeared beside Di Chen.
Amidst the Sword Intent, a four-petaled Cyan Lotus was faintly visible.
Every time the four-petaled Cyan Lotus manifested, it unleashed a vast Sword Intent, causing everyone to shiver with fear.
At this moment, all the sword-wielders were trapped under the Cyan Lotus Sword Intent, unable to calm down for a long time.
This Sword Intent was more immense and powerful than any they had ever seen.
Just a single Sword Intent—separated by such a distance—made them feel as though they were under the Sword Saint's blade.
Imagine how terrifying this Sword Intent truly was.
Di Chen was also stunned by this Sword Intent, so much so that he didn't dare to let his fist advance any further.
This Sword Intent made him feel a majestic and vast power.
Not something an Earth Unrestricted could possess!
Di Chen swallowed, then calmly asked, "Sect Leader Wen, are you planning on killing this Hall Master?"
"I'm merely upholding the law of You Country. No one is allowed to interfere in the Celestial Ascension Ranking contest of the Seven Domains, and Hall Master Di is no exception."
Wen Ping spoke with righteous conviction.
If not everyone knew that Wen Ping had long openly violated You Country's law, they would have thought Wen Ping was upholding it.
Di Chen snorted coldly and then said, "This Hall Master doesn't need a reminder from Sect Leader Wen, but today's contest must be stopped. Every individual in the Red Domain battlefield is the hope of the Red Domain's future. With one less person, the future of the Red Domain weakens. Even if this Hall Master is punished and loses the position, today's contest must be stopped!"
At this moment, Wen Ping wanted to clap.
Such eloquence!
It had the right touch!
Since that's the case, I won't pretend anymore.
"Hall Master Di, feel free to try breaking the barrier. This sect leader will let you disappear from this world along with the barrier."
Wen Ping coldly remarked.
This statement rendered everyone speechless.
Even Jin Busan didn't expect Wen Ping to directly threaten Di Chen.
Kill the Hall Master?
Would Wen Ping really dare?
Jin Busan immediately retorted coldly, "Sect Leader Wen, isn't that statement a bit much?"
With that, Jin Busan also opened his Meridian Gate.
Boom—
All four meridians opened at once.
The situation instantly became taut with tension.
The contest inside the plain battlefield instantly lost its allure, with everyone's gazes flicking back and forth between the three.
Would the Sect Leader of the Immortal Sect really take action?
Would Di Chen and Jin Busan actually fight Wen Ping?
Everyone awaited the unfolding events with bated breath and anticipation.
Yet Wen Ping remained silent, his gaze solely focused on the plain battlefield.
Within the plain battlefield, Yun Liao was currently using the Gale Sword Array to focus on Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart, although Du Venerable had stood up and was joining forces with Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart against the Gale Sword Array.
Yet Du Venerable, in his current state, couldn't even protect himself.
Helping Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart was even more unlikely.
Ultimately, he was pierced through the chest by dozens of Silver Swords and perished.
Everyone watched Du Venerable's death in silence.
Yet everyone knew full well that a great battle might erupt at any moment.
The pinnacle battle of the Red Domain!
"Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart, does Ye Wuping know you love her?"
