Super War God in the City
Chapter 745 - 745: Even a Fool Can See It

Zhu Rong Peak, inside the great hall.

Four young men were seated together, talking and laughing.

"Young Master Dong, in tomorrow's martial competition for courtship, aren't you afraid that Yu Yuanbai won't show up? That move is quite powerful!" Shu Zi'ang, the Junior Peak Master of Ruxu Peak, began.

"Hehe, that boy Yu Yuanbai is deeply in love with my sister. If we don't administer a strong dose, I'm afraid it might not be effective!" Dong Tianyi, the Young Master of Zhu Rong Peak, who was seated in the place of honor, said indifferently.

"Young Master Dong, but by doing this, could it perhaps backfire, what if that guy doesn't show up?" Jia Qian, Young Master of Public Peak, pondered aloud.

At these words, everyone fell silent.

These individuals were all part of a power group led by Zhu Rong Peak, who had long been trying to usurp authority from Wushen Peak, yet had no famous master to back their move.

In addition, in terms of power, the Zhu Rong lineage and the Wushen Peak lineage were equally matched, along with nearby neutral forces led by Tianwu Peak, bringing with them lots of uncertainty.

Therefore, the Zhu Rong lineage dared not make rash moves.

The Zhu Rong lineage and the Wushen Peak had tried multiple times to win over the Master of Tianwu Peak, all in vain.

Thus, the Witchcraft Sect maintained a delicate balance.

Fortunately, Yu Yuanbai of Tianwu Peak was infatuated with Dong Weiyue, the younger daughter of Zhu Rong Peak, presenting a breakthrough point.

However, due to various reasons, the neutral stance staunchly held by Yu Yongchang, the Master of Tianwu Peak, kept Yu Yuanbai hesitant, never expressing his real thoughts.

Even when the Zhu Rong Peak personally proposed marriage, it was rejected by Yu Yongchang.

Afterwards, the Master of Zhu Rong Peak discussed secretly with different branches and concluded that the breakthrough still lay with Yu Yuanbai.

Therefore, they orchestrated this martial competition for courtship to trap Yu Yuanbai.

If they could secure Yu Yuanbai, the balance would naturally tilt towards the Zhu Rong lineage.

At that point, there would be no need for Tianwu Peak to intervene; maintaining neutrality and not participating would already be a great help to Zhu Rong Peak.

"No matter, if he doesn't show up, we shall devise another plan. My sister has to marry someone eventually; she can't be hung up on this Yu Yuanbai forever!" Dong Tianyi said, his gaze slightly focused.

Recently, the Master of Public Peak was in seclusion, rumored to be on the verge of a breakthrough to the Half-step Divine Realm.

With this, the strength of the Zhu Rong lineage would surge once again, providing greater assurance.

"Report—

Young Master, Young Master Lu of Liangqiang Peak seeks an audience!" Just as they were discussing, a Messenger Disciple reported from outside the door.

"Hehe, today, we're just missing that lad Lu Tianhe. I had someone call him earlier, but he wasn't in.

I heard his men suffered a setback in front of the Saintess and seemed to have gone to Wushen Peak to seek an explanation. I'm not sure how that went!" Shu Zi'ang, the Junior Peak Master of Nine Yin Peak, chuckled lightly.

All in the hall were curious, and Dong Tianyi gestured, "Hurry, invite him in!"

Before long, Lu Tianhe walked in leisurely.

"Young Master Lu, I hear you went to confront the Saintess over your men's issue?" Jia Qian, the Young Master of Public Peak, inquired curiously with a light smile.

As his words fell, everyone looked on with curiosity.

"Hehe, your information is pretty accurate. Today, I come with good news; I wonder if you're willing to listen!" Lu Tianhe said, feigning profundity.

Dong Tianyi raised an eyebrow and stroked his chin, teasing, "Come on, Young Master Lu, don't keep us in suspense. Did you perhaps beat the Saintess?"

Lu Tianhe glanced over those present and said lightly, "The Saintess has invited reinforcements!"

Dong Tianyi's eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of surprise appearing on his face as the others leaned forward, their faces showing astonishment.

"Lu Tianhe, what exactly is going on? Is this the good news?" Liang Yingyan of Ruxu Peak inquired with a frown.

Under everyone's gaze, Lu Tianhe smiled mysteriously, "The good news is, because she asked for reinforcements, the Saintess and Ruan Yulong have broken off!"

"What?" Everyone in the hall exclaimed in unison.

"Lu Tianhe, clarify your words, what exactly happened?" Dong Tianyi took a deep breath, unable to hold back his query.

Other people also stretched their necks, staring blankly at Lu Tianhe.

Lu Tianhe cleared his throat, and then he narrated the whole sequence of events.

A good while later, after Lu Tianhe had finished narrating, the hall instantly fell silent.

"Hahaha, there's actually such a thing? Truly, heaven is ending their Wushen Peak, and our chance has come!" Shu Zi'ang, the Young Master of Nine Yin Peak, couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The rest of the people also came to their senses, their faces a mixture of astonishment and joy.

"The Saintess invited two Guest Official Protectors who haven't even come of age? I wonder what kind of expression the recently emerged Sect Hierarch will have when he sees this—it's quite the spectacle to look forward to!" Young Master of Public Peak, Jia Qian, sneered.

"Young Master Dong, don't you think now is an opportunity?" Liang Yingyan said indifferently.

"Indeed, Young Master Dong, this matter has already come to my father's attention. He sent me here specifically to let you know, not to miss this golden opportunity!" Lu Tianhe also nodded in agreement.

Dong Tianyi took a deep breath to calm his fluctuating emotions and pondered, "This indeed is a godsend opportunity, and the Di Jiang Peak is closely monitoring it. Wait until tomorrow when the results of my sister's martial arts competition are out, then we'll plan further!

"Moreover, let everyone go back and report this matter to your Peak Master. I'm going to see my father right away!"

Upon hearing this, the others also stood up, preparing to report such a significant event to their respective lineage elders.

"Young Master Dong, my father means that, by taking advantage of tomorrow's martial arts competition, everyone should meet up!

"If our various lineages gather together on a normal occasion, it would definitely draw strong attention and wariness from Wushen Peak, which is quite inconvenient!" Lu Tianhe spoke.

Dong Tianyi nodded, expressing his agreement.

Afterwards, they exchanged greetings and dispersed!

...

In the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, the Shaolin Reception Hall's secret chamber.

"Master Jing Kong, I believe that Gushe's Secret Treasury is highly likely not in these Hundred Thousand Great Mountains. With the unpredictable external situation, I think it's time for the Eight Major Sects to make a move!" Sect Leader Lian Chengping said solemnly.

This fellow, after much deliberation, had finally gone to Shaolin to reveal Qingcheng's secret.

Sitting opposite him, draped in a cassock and radiating the authority of a Dharma Image, Master Jing Kong took a deep breath and responded faintly, "I have long suspected that Gushe's Secret Treasury is not in these mountains, given that we have found nothing after searching here for nearly a hundred years.

As for the Lost Valley, it might not be the location of the treasury either. Its secrets still await further exploration in the future!

"However, it's unexpected that Qingcheng would deduce the likely location of Gushe's Secret Treasury, which interestingly coincides with the deductions made by the disciples of our Shaolin Scripture Pavilion!"

"What? Shaolin has also deduced the likely location of the treasury?" Lian Chengping exclaimed in surprise.

"Hehe, Shaolin has been diligently studying this matter, and it's only recently that we've made a bold conjecture. I was planning to go out for a trip, but it turns out you've taken a step ahead!" Master Jing Kong gave a bitter laugh.

Master Jing Kong, cunning and shrewd, could clearly see through Lian Chengping's motives. The fellow originally planned to venture out and monopolize the treasure alone, but after suffering losses, he was compelled to disclose the situation.

"Master Jing Kong, I'm sharing this matter, hoping Shaolin can help avenge my son and kill the murderer who took his life!" Lian Chengping was straightforward, expressing his most important purpose.

"Sect Leader Lian, rest assured. The Eight Major Sects share the same spirit; we flourish and suffer together and will not stand idly by!

"Moreover, your son took the initiative to search for Gushe's Secret Treasury for the common good of our sects. Shaolin deeply regrets his death. Please, Sect Leader Lian, restrain your grief," Master Jing Kong pressed his hands together and uttered a Buddhist chant.

Lian Chengping swept a glance at the visibly grieved Master Jing Kong and thought cynically, "This old baldy really knows how to act—it's likely he's secretly laughing inside!"

"By the way, Master Jing Kong, when shall we depart for our journey?" Lian Chengping quickly asked, regaining his composure.

"Sect Leader Lian, if I'm not mistaken, the other major sects have probably also suspected that Gushe's Secret Treasury is not in these Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, but they have yet to pierce through this delicate matter!

"Besides, it won't be long until the Divine Conferment Convention, when the Eight Major Sects will gather. We can discuss this matter together then; there's no rush at this very moment!

"If our two sects hurry out now, although well-intentioned, it might be misunderstood by the other sects, perhaps thinking that we intend to monopolize the treasury, wouldn't you agree?" Master Jing Kong said calmly.

"Hiss~"

Lian Chengping inwardly took a sharp breath, his smile stiffening—this old baldy was clearly hinting at him!

"Cough, cough, Master Jing Kong's considerations are indeed thorough. I acted rashly, and it's fortunate that Master Jing Kong is magnanimous, otherwise, even jumping into the Yellow River wouldn't clear my name!" Lian Chengping said with an awkward self-deprecating tone.

Master Jing Kong glanced sidelong at Lian Chengping and thought, "Do you even need to wash, when it's obvious to everyone?"
