Super War God in the City
Chapter 748 - 748: A Critical Time of Survival

Several Junior Peak Masters sitting in the stands saw the newcomer and their expressions changed. They had anticipated many scenarios, but they had never expected this man to appear.

"Young Master Dong, wasn't it said that this guy went to explore the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain? When did he come back?" Lu Tianhe couldn't help but bitterly smile.

"Indeed, Young Master Dong, if this guy steps up to compete and Yu Yuanbai doesn't show up, then I won't be able to become the brother-in-law!" Liang Yingyan also shook his head and bitterly smiled.

While he said this, he couldn't help but feel a hint of secret delight in his heart.

Dong Tianyi's face slightly changed and he took a deep breath inwardly, "Damn, I was afraid this guy would cause trouble, and even made special inquiries that this kid wasn't at home. His sudden appearance is indeed troublesome!"

The newcomer was Feng Nan, ranked fifth on the Dragon Tiger Ranking, known as the Martial Fool Sword Saint. This man always carried two swords, one ordinary sword and the Heavy Sword strapped to his back.

It was said that, apart from the top three on the Dragon Tiger Ranking, no one had forced him to draw the Heavy Sword on his back.

Among those present, only Dong Tianyi had the assurance of a complete victory over Feng Nan, but he could never personally go on his sister's platform to duel with this guy!

"Young Master Dong, there's no need to worry, perhaps it's a good thing. Who knows, it might even force Yu Yuanbai to show up!

Even if it can't make that guy appear, I should be able to handle it when I go down there. In the end, I can just deliberately lose to Young Master Liang," said Jia Qian from Public Peak, with a solemn expression and a light voice.

Although this plan wasn't ideal, it was only a temporary solution!

"Phew!

Let's just wait and see. This kid surely won't be so tactless!" Dong Tianyi said with a grim expression.

If it came to talent, Feng Nan was indeed a genius, but his downfall was his commoner background, devoid of any significant power or influence.

Within the Witchcraft Sect, there were quite a few protectors and high-ranking officials who fancied the children, and under normal circumstances, Zhu Rong Peak would also be willing to accept him.

However, at this critical time, Zhu Rong Peak needed a very strong power like Tianwu Peak to assist.

If Feng Nan were a Half-step Divine Realm or even a Divine Realm Powerhouse, then there would be no question—Zhu Rong Peak wouldn't even have to think twice. If this guy was interested, they would completely support him.

Simply put, this guy was strong, but not enough to make Zhu Rong Peak take enough notice!

It wasn't just Dong Tianyi and the other Junior Peak Masters whose expressions changed; even the Peak Masters sitting at the highest spot in the stands looked somber.

"Master Dong, to be honest, if we ignore the background, this kid's talent is quite commendable," Liang Cheng'en said lightly.

"That may be true, but for our great cause, it's rather meaningless," Dong Yanghua slightly shook his head.

"No matter, let's watch and see. In the end, Brother Dong has left an alternative component in the plan, so the initiative is still in our hands!" Public Peak Master Jia Qingsheng said with a faint smile.

At that moment, Dong Weiyue, who was watching the platform from her boudoir, also noticed the figure of Feng Nan, which caused her slight surprise.

"Does this martial fool also have a secret crush on this lady?" Dong Weiyue couldn't help but mutter.

"Hehe, Miss' beauty can sink fish and shame the moon, charm the birds and embarrass the moon. In the Witchcraft Sect, who isn't secretly in love? Even a fool like this is a normal man, which just shows Miss' unmatched charm, even the Martial Fool can't resist!" the maid giggled from beside her.

"You little minx, off you go. Marrying this martial fool would probably be lacking in fun!" Dong Weiyue shook her head.

"Hehe, don't worry, Miss, the Family Head probably won't agree either!" the maid chuckled, covering her mouth.

Just as the martial competition for marriage on Zhu Rong Peak was about to begin, several important figures from the Wushen Lineage gathered in the great hall of Xuan Ming Peak.

Within the influence of the Wushen Lineage, there were Di Jiang Peak, Xuan Ming Peak, Hou Tu Peak, and Ju Mang Peak.

Nowadays, the Sect Hierarch Lan Xingyuan was in seclusion and not seeing anyone, and Young Master Ruan Yulong of Di Jiang Peak had offended the Saintess and was not present today either.

"Everyone, the situation looks grim—do you all have any thoughts?" Wei Xuewen, the Peak Master of Xuan Ming Peak, said with a grave expression.

"The martial competition for marriage on Zhu Rong Peak is a conspiracy, happening precisely while the Sect Hierarch and Yu Yongchang are in seclusion; it is clearly targeting Yu Yuanbai!" Huang Yutang, the Peak Master of Hou Tu Peak, said with a frown.

"To me, the real issue at hand is with Di Jiang Peak. As you know, Di Jiang Peak has always supported the Wushen lineage because Ruan Yulong has long admired the Saintess!

"Now, for some unknown reason, the Saintess has brought back two young lads from outside to be the Guest Official Protectors, even at the expense of offending Di Jiang Peak!

"They tried going to Di Jiang Peak to request Ruan Wei Mao's presence, but this guy is also in seclusion—clearly just an excuse!" Gu Xingchao, the Peak Master of Ju Mang Peak, said gravely.

"If we comply with Zhu Rong Peak's wishes now and settle things with Yu Yuanbai, and Di Jiang Peak remains ambiguously neutral, our Wushen lineage will truly be in danger!" Huang Yutang of Hou Tu Peak said, taking a deep breath with a heavy heart.

Wei Xuewen sighed, "Back then, Ruan Wei Mao and the Sect Hierarch were rivals in love, but in the end, Lan Zihan's mother chose Lan Xingyuan!

"Ruan Wei Mao has always harbored a deep grudge about this, especially when Lan Zihan's mother was injured and had complications during his birth.

"Ruan Wei Mao has always deeply resented the Sect Hierarch, and despite so many years passing, he has never let it go!

"Essentially, he was never willingly supportive of the Sect Hierarch; it was only because of his beloved son.

"Now, with this debacle the Saintess has caused, it likely aligns with Ruan Wei Mao's thinking. To get this guy back on track, it would probably take the Sect Hierarch personally visiting to apologize!"

A silence fell over the hall; with Lan Xingyuan's personality, it truly wasn't likely he would do such a thing.

Yet, if they didn't do this, Ruan Wei Mao's many years of accumulated grievances might never be dispelled, and the situation would not be alleviated.

"In my opinion, we still need to find a way for the Saintess to obtain Ruan Yulong's forgiveness!" Gu Xingchao pondered aloud.

Just then, a series of footsteps came from outside, and several figures filed into the great hall.

The three people in the hall turned to look—it was the sons and daughters of the three lineages.

"Father, I just noticed that Ruan Yulong seems to have headed toward Zhu Rong Peak!" Wei Yuanjie said as he walked into the hall, his face anxious.

"What?" Wei Xuewen and the others, upon hearing this, immediately looked alarmed.

Following beside Wei Yuanjie, Shen Ying's face turned pale with shame, "It's all because of my willful cousin, who disregarded the greater good and brought about this great crisis for our Wushen Lineage!"

"Enough, talking now is too late, let's think about how to remedy the situation!" Huang Yuanwu, the Young Master of Hou Tu Peak, said calmly.

"Why don't we try persuading the Saintess again?" Gu Kaiyu, the Young Master of Ju Mang Peak, pondered aloud.

Regaining composure, Wei Xuewen took a deep breath, rose to his feet, and said solemnly, "The Wushen Lineage is now at a critical juncture for its survival. We must go and ask the Sect Hierarch to come out of seclusion and take control of the situation!"

Continuing, he quickly instructed Wei Yuanjie and the others, "You guys rush to see the Saintess and make her stabilize Ruan Yulong by any means necessary. This is not the time to be willful—go!"

Immediately, his figure flashed as he dashed out of the great hall, heading straight for the place where the Wushen Sect Hierarch was in seclusion.
