”Oh, there's still one more day?” The corners of Wu Hen's mouth lifted slightly as he unconsciously touched the jade belt left behind by the flexible sword at his waist. Haha, tomorrow! Let me, this trash, properly teach the genius disciple of Tranquil East City a lesson! ” A wave of faint laughter emerged, and the room Wu Hen was in once again surged with a thick aura of profound energy.
On the military field outside Tranquil East City, the three great families were competing with their disciples for the rest of their lives.
The entire military arena had been surrounded by a crowd of onlookers, so many that not even a drop of water could trickle through. The soldiers of the City Lord's Mansion all held long spears in their hands as they stood at the outermost perimeter of the military ground, maintaining order.
The disciples of Yu, Shi, Liu, and the three great families were divided into three groups: west, south, north, and south. The Patriarchs of the various families, the branches of the other families, and some of the influential figures in the smaller families were all in attendance. Directly to the east was the position personally overseen by the City Lord Xu Jin. The aide-de-camp, deputy general, and general were all majestically divided into two sides.
Next to the city governor, Xu Jin, sat a young, beautiful woman. It was the city governor's daughter, Xu Yining. Xu Yining's face was gloomy, and there was a sinister look in his eyes. His eyes were wandering back and forth in the formation of the Liu Family disciples, as if he was looking for something.
Dong dong dong, dong dong dong …
A loud and passionate gong resounded through the military arena like a deafening thunderclap. The banners fluttered in the wind, and the entire military arena instantly became quiet.
”Whew.” A strange gust of cold wind blew, startling the citizens who were watching from below the military arena and causing them to shudder involuntarily. Soon after, a figure appeared out of nowhere on the high platform in the middle of the military field.
”Hehe, I am Shangguan Yunton of the Spiritual Treasure sect. Greetings, everyone!” On the high platform, a big and burly man stroked the beard on both sides of his temples charmingly. The voice that was filled with words caused the goosebumps on the bodies of the spectators below the stage to fall to the ground.
”Hehe, it is my honor to be the judge of the three great families' young disciples' fight today. If anything is amiss, please forgive me, patriarchs and lords! ” The androgynous Shangguan Yun smiled and cupped his hands in a greeting towards the three noble families.
”Haha, Mr. Shangguan is too polite. It would be fair for you to preside over this battle!” The Yu Family Clan's Yu Kui hurriedly stood up and politely smiled at Shangguan Yun.
”Thank you for your troubles, Mr. Shangguan. Our Shi family has no objections!” The leader of the Shi family shook his sturdy frame and cupped his fist towards Shangguan Yun.
”We, the Liu Family, are all at Mr. Shangguan's disposal!” Liu Zongyi maintained a smile on his face the entire time as he politely spoke to Shangguan Yun.
”Haha, since the three great clans have no objections …” ”Then Mr. Shangguan, let's start!” City Lord Xu Jin laughed out loud and raised his hand to signal to the officials on the high platform.
”Hehe, since that's the case, then I won't be polite! Yu, Shi, Liu and the other young disciples of the three families, quickly go up the stage! ” Shangguan Yun suddenly gripped his waist and glanced around the stage arrogantly before shouting out loud.
Shua, shua, Shangguan Yunton's voice had just faded, when two figures could be seen dashing out from the respective teams of Yu, Shi and the other two. Two strong gusts of wind blew across the military arena, and the figures of two youths suddenly appeared beside Shangguan Yun who was standing on the high platform.
”Yu family's Yu Ding Yi greets Mister Shangguan!”
”Shi Family, Shi Lei, greetings to Mr. Shangguan!”
Yu Ding Yi, who was wearing a golden yellow robe, and Shi Lei, who was wearing a grey robe, saluted Shangguan Yun respectfully.
”Hey, where are the Liu Family?” Shangguan Yun glanced at the two of them and asked the audience with a displeased tone.
”Cough cough, you're here, you're here, you're here!” A burst of hurried shouts slowly sounded out from afar. He saw a handsome young man wearing a green robe running to the bottom of the high platform. Soon after, the green-robed youth forcefully poked his hands out and grabbed the long stairs that led to the stage. He leaped up, and climbed up the ladder in front of him, all the way to the platform that was tens of meters high.
”Damn, is this brat messing with me?” On the high platform, Shangguan Yun ruthlessly rolled his eyes as he cursed in his heart while staring at the figure that was gradually becoming clearer.
”Haha, is this guy really a martial artist?”
”Haha, are the Liu Family members here to make a joke?”
”Haha, boy, go down, go down!”
Laughter was heard from below the stage, and the commoners who were watching the show in the training field started to laugh and scold loudly. Everyone in the Yu, Shi, and Liu Families looked at them with disdain. The Liu Family disciples felt their faces burning and lowered their heads.
”Brat, what are you doing?” The voice of Demon Sovereign Huo Xiao echoed in Wu Hen's mind.
”Damn. Old demon, didn't you tell me to keep a low profile?” ”What do you think? This young master has kept a low profile!” The corner of Wu Hen's mouth raised slightly as he climbed even more arduously than before! The sunlight shone down in an oblique angle onto Wu Hen's bronze colored skin, adding a masculine charm to his handsome appearance.
