Chapter 525 Underground Arena Tournament
“I heard you’re going to an underground arena tournament. We can go with you,” Zhang Rui said.
Leng Yun wanted to refuse, but before he could speak, Zhu Qi said smugly, "This underground arena isn't easy to enter. If you come with me, you can all go in and see the world."
The implication was clear: he felt that Leng Yun and the others were not qualified to enter the underground arena competition.
Leng Yun didn't bother to argue. If it weren't for the fact that Long Nu had promised Zhang Xiaoyu that she would go, he would have had absolutely no interest in such a competition.
"Oh, right, let me tell you a secret," Zhang Rui said smugly, glancing sideways at the Dragon Girl. "This is news that only we in the Azure Dragon Sect know. Our Azure Dragon Sect's Second Protector, Long Tianxia, will also be participating in this underground arena competition."
Zhang Rui spoke as if it were a very glorious thing.
"What? It's actually Master Long Tianxia! He's a master who's reached the level of a King of Fighters! When he makes a move, who in the entire Medicine City could be his match!" Zhang Xiaochun exclaimed in surprise.
Zhang Rui became even more smug: "Hehe, I heard that someone beat up his younger brother, Long Tianyi, the master of the Dragon Scale Martial Arts School, so the Second Elder is here to take revenge."
Zhang Xiaochun was even more surprised: "I've heard of the Dragon Scale Martial Arts School, but I never expected that someone could defeat the master of the school. He must be a master himself."
"Hmph, even if he's a master, he's going to be in trouble this time. I reckon Master Long Tianxia could kill this kid with a single palm strike," Liu Tianxiang sneered from the side.
Leng Yun made no comment, but simply took a sip of tea.
Seeing Leng Yun's attitude, Zhang Rui was somewhat displeased and muttered, "Hmph, someone actually doesn't recognize Master Long Tianxia, what a country bumpkin."
Although the voice was soft, everyone present could hear it clearly.
Zhang Rui seemed to have more to say: "Let me tell you, there's actually another reason why our Second Elder came here, a matter that most people don't know—"
"Zhang Rui!" Zhu Qi shouted, stopping the latter from speaking.
Knowing he had spoken too much and made a mistake, Zhang Rui immediately shut his mouth.
However, Leng Yun had already noticed some clues. It seemed that Long Tian had come to Medicine City not only to seek revenge on him, but also to plot something else.
"Then it's settled. Tomorrow night, we'll go to the underground arena to watch the matches get lively. I'll take you in," Zhu Qi said, then looked at the Dragon Girl.
Zhang Xiaochun and Liu Tianxiang immediately nodded in agreement.
"By the way, Brother Leng Yun, let's go together then," Liu Tianxiang said, turning to Leng Yun.
He didn't genuinely want to invite Leng Yun; he just wanted to embarrass Leng Yun in front of Zhu Qi and the others. In his mind, although he and Zhang Xiaochun were no match for Leng Yun, who were Zhu Qi and Zhang Rui? They were disciples of the Azure Dragon Sect, and their brilliance was naturally far greater than Leng Yun's.
Leng Yun nodded; he also wanted to see what kind of conspiracy Long Tianxia was plotting.
"Hmph, you don't need to pretend to be so tough. Let's see if you're still so arrogant when we get to the arena!" Zhang Rui said with a sneer.
……
On the shore of Dongshan Lake in Yaocheng, a group of people gathered around the lake, waiting anxiously.
The leader was none other than Wang Tianqiang, and beside him stood Long Tianyi, who was leaning on a cane and was still coughing from time to time.
The sunlight shone on the group of people, making them feel somewhat hot.
Wang Tianqiang wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Why hasn't Master Long Tianxia shown up yet?"
Long Tianyi coughed and said, "Don't worry, my senior brother will definitely come."
Wang Tianqiang snorted, feeling somewhat dissatisfied: "It seems these masters all have a bad habit of thinking they're amazing. I wonder if they really have any skills."
As they were speaking, a blue light suddenly flashed across the sky, followed by a thunderous burst of light that shot into the lake in front of them.
"boom!"
With a muffled thud, water splashed everywhere. Amidst the spray, a blue protective shield could be seen, inside which stood a middle-aged man in a blue robe, his hands behind his back, standing easily on the water's surface.
Although the water splashed and exploded, it didn't touch the middle-aged man at all. Instead, the people on the shore were all soaked to the bone.
However, no one was angry at all; instead, they all looked at the people on the water with surprise.
This person descended from the sky, which had already shocked everyone. Now, he walked easily on the water, stepping on the flowing light, and slowly walked to the side of Wang Tianqiang and the others.
"Big brother!" Long Tianyi exclaimed excitedly. This person was none other than his eldest brother, Long Tianxia.
"Master Long Tianxia is indeed a divine being!" Wang Tianqiang exclaimed in surprise.
Long Tianxia snorted: "Ignorant villain, daring to touch my Long family, you really don't want to live."
"Yes, with Master Long here, that kid Leng Yun is probably doomed," Wang Tianqiang said excitedly.
Long Tianyi also had a sinister smile on his face: "Hehe, this kid is doomed this time. I can finally get my revenge."
“He’s nothing but an ant in my eyes. I have another purpose for coming here.” Long Tianxia looked at the two people in front of him.
Wang Tianqiang immediately put on a smile: "Master Long, rest assured, everything has been arranged. As long as you can win on the underground arena, then who will dare to disobey your orders? We can then take over the entire martial arts world of Medicine City without any problem."
"What about the Alchemist Association?" Long Tianxia asked.
Wang Tianqiang said aggressively, "Everything has been arranged. As long as we unify the martial arts world, we can take over the Alchemist Guild, giving Old Wang and his group no time to react. Sun Ruhai of the Alchemist Pavilion has also been arranged."
Long Tianxia nodded: "Well done."
This was Long Tianxia's true purpose: to secretly collude with Sun Ruhai in order to seize control of the entire Medicine City and make it an annex of the Azure Dragon Sect.
Wang Tianqiang was promised that as long as he eliminated Old Wang, he could become the new president of the Alchemist Association.
……
Over the next day, although the entire medicine city appeared calm on the surface, undercurrents were already surging beneath the surface. An impending storm was looming over the entire city.
Ordinary alchemists, upon arriving here, would still search for medicinal herbs on the streets as usual, eagerly awaiting the auction. Little did they know that tonight, a major battle would unfold on Dongshan Mountain, determining the fate of Dongyao City for the next three years.
When Leng Yun and his group arrived at Dongshan, a large number of people had already gathered there. They were all prominent figures in the entire Dongyao City. These people were either flattering each other or discussing the underground arena competition that night.
However, given their seniority, these people naturally did not know Leng Yun's true identity, and therefore did not recognize this person whom even Elder Wang treated with utmost respect.
So when Leng Yun and the others arrived at the entrance, the guards let Zhu Qi and Zhang Rui in, but stopped Leng Yun and his group...
