Super War God in the City
Chapter 752 - 752: Uninvited Guest

After Feng Nan consecutively challenged four people, the scene became thoroughly quiet, and even the spectators in the stands fell silent.

Although the final say still lay in the hands of Zhu Rong Peak, Dong Weiyue could decide whom to choose by throwing the embroidered ball among the victors in the end.

But, if there were only Feng Nan left unbeaten in the arena, that would be embarrassingly awkward.

Everyone looked at the platform, at Feng Nan who stood as if "a single man could hold the pass against ten thousand enemies," and despite all calculations, no one had anticipated such an unexpected emergence.

"Jia Qian, you go!" Dong Tianyi said with a frown.

"This kid, truly knows neither good time nor bad, it's been a long time since I've sparred with him. Watch me beat him until he's searching for his teeth on the ground!" Jia Qian snorted coldly.

Just as he was about to rise, a figure appeared in the spectators' line of sight.

The peak masters and young peak masters of the various lineages were stunned upon clearly seeing who the newcomer was.

"Is... Is my eyesight failing me, Young Master Dong?" Shu Zi'ang rubbed his eyes and sheepishly said.

The others around him were also wide-eyed, with their thoughts in a bit of disarray.

"How did this guy show up?" Jia Qian couldn't help but mutter.

Taking a deep breath, Dong Tianyi suppressed the turbulent emotions in his heart and said gravely, "It seems he's genuinely at odds with the Saintess. Could he be here to challenge the arena? This is an unexpected surprise!"

"Sigh~"

"If that's the case, even if Yu Yuanbai doesn't show up, it's still a win for us. I do hope Di Jiang Peak will join our camp!" Lu Tianhe exclaimed in astonishment.

Because the relationships between the various lineages were clearly delineated, in a martial arts competition to win marriage with Zhu Rong Peak, naturally only people from their own lineage would usually show up. The Wushen Lineage and the neutral Tianwu Peak Lineage would not appear so easily.

Right now, with Ruan Yulong from Di Jiang Peak making an unambiguous appearance at Zhu Rong Peak, this revealed a very important signal.

"We don't need him to join our camp; as long as his Di Jiang Peak remains neutral, that in itself would be tremendously beneficial for us!" Liang Yingyan said solemnly.

In the stands, the peak masters from the Zhu Rong Lineage also exhibited faces full of surprise.

"Brother Dong, what sort of display is this? Even if that guy has a dispute with the Saintess, it wouldn't reach such an extent, would it? What does this mean?" Jia Qingsheng was a bit bewildered.

"Since he has come, it can only be good news. Could he be here to disrupt the proceedings?" Liang Cheng'en said.

"It seems that the dispute between him and the Saintess is not trivial; he's clearly not giving Wushen Peak any face. I've heard that Ruan Wei Mao has gone into seclusion and refuses to see anyone!

Brother Dong, if this guy takes to the stage, we should pull Di Jiang Peak to our side. Even without the help of Tianwu Peak, we can expect great things!" Shu Xing Yan said lightly.

In the secluded courtyard chambers.

"Miss, how come Ruan Yulong from Di Jiang Peak has arrived? I heard he had a quarrel with the Saintess yesterday; could he be here to challenge the martial arena on a whim?" The maid muttered in astonishment.

Dong Weiyue pursed her lips; it wouldn't be bad to take down Ruan Yulong. She had never gotten along with Lan Zihan, and if so, she could severely step on the Saintess.

"I hope my arrival hasn't disturbed everyone today," Ruan Yulong greeted Dong Yanghua with a cupped fist salute from the stands.

This voice, amidst the silent scene, seemed rather abrupt. As Ruan Yulong passed through the crowd, everyone's initial attention had been on Feng Nan in the arena, and no one had noticed Ruan Yulong's presence.

Now hearing the voice, they all turned their heads, staring blankly at this unexpected guest.

"What... what's going on? Isn't Ruan Yulong from the Wushen Lineage? This guy has been pursuing the Saintess for some time now; why has he come here, also to challenge the arena?" People in the crowd couldn't help but murmur in surprise.

"Yes, aren't they afraid that the Wushen Lineage might take this the wrong way? Or perhaps, this guy is here to cause a scene?" Another person in the crowd said sheepishly.

The matter of Ruan Yulong falling out with the Saintess was only known to the high-ranking members of the few lineages, and the intelligence personnel from each lineage were the first to learn of it.

Furthermore, since the leadership of each lineage had not spread the news deliberately, it had yet to reach the ears of these ordinary people.

However, there were always a few who were exceptionally well-informed.

"Heh heh, you all might not know yet, but there's news that Young Master Ruan had a falling out with the Saintess at Wushen Peak yesterday. It seems it was because the Saintess brought back a new love interest from outside!" Suddenly, a well-informed individual in the crowd said mysteriously.

"Holy shit, really?" The people surrounding him were shocked when they heard this.

It was as if Columbus had discovered a new continent; they surrounded the person, eagerly bombarding him with questions.

At this moment, Feng Nan, standing on the stage, looked slightly uneasy.

Given his vantage point on the stage, he was among the first to spot Ruan Yulong's arrival.

Facing Ruan Yulong, he truly did not have much confidence; this guy was undisputedly the top rank on the Dragon Tiger Ranking!

"Damn it, why is he here? Could the rumors be true? Have things really escalated to this extent between him and the Saintess?" Feng Nan muttered under his breath.

At that moment, Dong Yanghua on the viewing platform came to his senses, smiling and said, "I'm honored by my nephew's presence; your arrival truly graces our martial contest. I wonder if you might be interested in stepping onto the stage for a challenge?"

Since Ruan Yulong seemed amiable and not here to cause trouble, Dong Yanghua's tone was much warmer.

As the saying goes, one does not slap a smiling face, especially not a smiling face like Ruan Yulong's!

"Heh heh, I'll just watch for now. No rush, no rush!" Ruan Yulong chuckled.

Dong Yanghua had only been probing and did not actually expect the man to step up to the stage; he might very well have come here on purpose, to provoke the Saintess and show off to Wushen Peak.

However, the intention didn't matter, Dong Yanghua didn't mind using this opportunity to his advantage.

"Someone, show him to his seat!" Dong Yanghua ordered immediately.

"Brother Yulong, it's been a long time since we sat together for a chat. Come over here!" Dong Tianyi immediately stood up and called out.

Seeing this, Ruan Yulong responded and, without any pretense, swaggered over.

Liang Yingyan, who was sitting next to Dong Tianyi, hesitated for a moment before getting up to give up his seat.

Just then, another figure appeared in the sight of everyone in the square.

The audience on the viewing platform couldn't help but feel amazed once more.

A few Peak Masters looked at each other, and Jia Qingsheng couldn't help but say, "Brother Dong, we might have struck it rich today. Not only has Ruan Yulong come forward, but Yu Yuanbai couldn't contain himself either and has hurried over!"

The others also came to their senses, looking at Yu Yuanbai as he approached swiftly, his eyes showing his impatience.

Yu Yuanbai was not just a little impatient; upon entering the square, he first caught sight of Feng Nan on the platform and Ruan Yulong looking for a seat in the viewing area.

"Huff~"

Yu Yuanbai let out a silent breath, thinking to himself, "I came just in time. I didn't expect Ruan Yulong to put his hand in the pie. Tianwu Peak was nearly a wasted effort! Today, it's not just for my own happiness, but also for the interests of the Tianwu Lineage—I must win this top spot and claim the beauty!"
